Fai was heading to the shops to spend the day relaxing. The past couple days he had woken up in the morning feeling a little under the weather, which was rather odd for the upbeat vampire. He didn't think much about it, figuring it might be a trick of the bubble. If it could turn people into strange creatures, it also could have the power to make a vampire feel ill.

After moving around for awhile, he would feel slightly better. That day he had decided to finally venture out and get some lunch. But as he traveled that feeling of weakness washed over him again. He reached out and placed his hand against the side of the building he was next to as he tried to wait it out.

"I wonder if I've been pushing myself to do too much lately.." As he stood there a slow realization hit him. There was one activity he had not done recently that was vital to his continued survival.

"I can't just do that..I need..maybe the store.." He knew there was other vampires in this world and that they had managed to survive using other means. It was something he should have thought about before that point but Fai wasn't filled with any sort of blood lust. He was still getting used to the fact he had to survive with out Kurogane around. He didn't want to have to drink the blood of others unless it was absolutely necessary. But now he knew why he felt rundown. It had become necessary.

He turned towards the direction he knew a store was at, but it wasn't going to happen. His legs buckled and he fell forward.

[Johnny knew Fai was in the area, he could always smell the other vampire when he they were close enough to each other. He could also sense how weak he was. Maybe it was from being a pure-blood, but he could tell Fai was in trouble.

The older man stopped what he was doing and dissolved into a swarm of bats, flying to where he saw the blonde on the ground, and reforming to kneel beside him.]

Fai! Fai, what's wrong?

[He was certain he knew, but he wanted to hear it.]

[Fai heard the familiar voice and the golden eye opened slowly. He hadn't realized he had fallen until he hit the ground. He turns his head towards Johnny and slowly starts to push himself up.]

Johnny-san..I just felt a little weak..that's all.

[He felt embarrassed. He hasn't fed since coming to the bubble. That was a dangerous choice to have made. How could he admit that to a fellow vampire?]

[Johnny frowned and pulled the other vampire closer, wraping one arm around the slighter shoulders.]

How long's it been since you last ate?

[Some of that playful smile pushed through the weakness.] I ate breakfast this morning. Some tasty pancakes.

[He knew that isn't what Johnny wanted to know but he couldn't help but try and put off the truth. He knew what he had to say in regards to that would probably upset the other vampire.]

[Why wasn't he surprised? His grip tightened slightly and he pushed the collar of his shirt back with his free hand.]

It's been a while, hasn't it? Drink from me, you'll get more strength from my blood than from human blood; especially the stuff you'll find at the store.

Not since I arrived..[Fai let that smile fade as he looks at Johnny's neck. He's never drunk from a person's neck before and it worries him a little. His eye changes into the cat-like slit but he continues to hesitate.]

You just..want me to bite you?

[Kurogane had always been the one to start things, cutting his arm to let the blood flow. But this is what normal vampires do, right? He needed to get used to new things..]

[He couldn't help the flinch at hearing how long it had been. How had Fai not gone crazy by now? No wonder he'd collapsed.]

That's how it usually goes, yeah.

...you can have my arm if you'd rather, but you have to eat.

It's alright..I can do it this way. [At least he hopes he can. He brings his mouth to Johnny's neck but doesn't bite quite yet.]

I'm sorry about this..

[He worries that someone will see, that all his careful hiding will be for nothing. But then, does it really matter if people know? Will they see him differently? Needless worrying..but then again, Fai had that tendency.]

[Johnny wrapped his other arm around Fai to better support him and braced for the feeling of fangs digging into skin. After centuries of experiencing it, he was fairly used to the feeling, but that didn't mean it was painless.]

There's nothing to apologize for. I don't want you to starve. Besides....what are friends for, right? [He smirked, even though Fai probably couldn't see it.]

[There was a small smile before Fai sinks his teeth into Johnny's neck, being as careful as possible. As that first taste of blood fills his mouth the vampire blood inside of his body seems to come to life, craving more of that which it had been denied for months. That golden eye slowly closes as he begins to drink.]

[Johnny just holds the other vampire as he drinks. He won't stop him, Fai can have his fill. Even if the blood-loss means Johnny will have to crash for a few hours, it was worth it.

But, before crashing, he'd have to lecture the younger man about holding out too long like this.]

[Fai tries to concentrate on not taking too much. Even with his hunger driving him to continue, his mind wants to make sure Johnny is okay after this is all done. He takes what he can survive with without risking the other man's health, before lifting his head away and cleaning away the remains.]

[Johnny gives a little sigh when he feels his neck released. He felt a little light-headed, but that was nothing compared to the times Cherry had nearly tapped him dry or when Sara caused him to fall unconscious for a few days.

It was actually strange and a bit concerning.]

Are you sure you took enough? It's not like you'll break me if you take more.

[He just wanted Fai to be alright.]

[Fai nods and lets that eye go back to normal.] I don't want to take too much. I have enough to satisfy me and last me for at least a little while.

[He nods and pulls Fai into a brief hug.]

All right. I just want you to be okay.

You know you can contact me whenever you need more, it's fine. I know the thought of drinking human blood can be...unpleasant.

[Fai blinks a few times in surprise then smiles softly and wraps his arms around Johnny to return the hug.]

Thank you, Johnny-san..I'm just not used to having to drink from anyone besides my one prey..

[Fai stumbles over that word as it leaves his mouth. He hadn't really considered Kurogane 'prey' but he knew that was the actual term for their lives being connected the way they now are.]

[Johnny knew a bit about that sort of thing, it had just been a reverse situation, he was the prey.]

I understand. But, as long as they're not here....well, just don't let it get that bad again, okay? Like it or not, you've got people who care about you here, too~

[Fai nodded a little. People who cared..it was hard to believe that he had found even more people that would care about his existence after spending so many years trying to keep his distance.]

Alright..it's a promise. I'll be good from now on~
