I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it

He knew timing this was key, but he hadn't expected for Tician to goad Reiji as she had. And the battle raging before him was spectacular. Leaving him feeling all that more determined to rectify his mistake. One he made in haste and jealousy. It was very clear now after observing both of the girls, mostly Lunaria, for the last few days that they were not quite what they seemed.

He had been wrong to corner her after hearing what was had said. Demanding things that were not his right, but at the same time were. Knowing he was doing the wrong thing, not stopping and backing up. Instead, he just let himself have his way. These girls were not Yui, they had a backbone. And he actually liked the challenge. Which was not that surprising as he usually got anything he wanted.

So, when Lunaria spoke up, correcting Subaru, he listened intently. Waiting until she finished speaking before deciding to take action. Keeping his eye focused on the fight, Kou opened up his senses, using the eye that Karlheinz had given him. He bit back a gasp. He saw a pale white-gold nimbus around her, flickering as if it was alive and very amused. Causing him to feel as if the world was stopping around him.

At least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure

When Tician snapped the sword in two, Kou felt as if some hidden signal had been giving. Reaching out, he hesitantly put his hand on Lunaria's shoulder. Causing her body to stiffen and forcing him to retract it quickly. That sense of being a failure washing over him quickly as he watched both Lunaria and Yui turn to look at him.

"I...I need to talk to you, please Lunaria," he whispered, lowering his eyes to the ground.

He was being honest. He needed to do this. And dammit he was trying to convey it as best he could. When he heard Yui speak in his defense, goading Lunaria to at least listen to him, he shot her a small, very thankful smile. Earning a look that said she was not doing it for him, but for Lunaria. Making him blink in surprise at the change in her demeanor.

"Fine," came Lunaria's terse reply, indicating she was relenting against her will.

'Cause I know that I failed you
I should've done you better
'Cause you don't want a liar (come on)

When they had stepped far enough away from the group, Kou chewed the inside of his mouth. Feeling his companions gaze on him. His mind brought the image of that nimbus around her. With a quick shake of his head, he turned to her and dropped his normal smug facade as he looked at her.

"I need to say something," he said. "I know I do not deserve your patience or time for my own actions. But here is not the best place."

Swallowing thickly as he watched her brow scrunch as she looked at him. He waited until she gave a small nod of her head, though he could tell that she was assessing him. Once he had her nod, Kou reached out and teleported them to a place he knew they'd not be bothered. A place that they had not been back to for a week.

Her shocked gasp as he watched her face go through a few emotions. One being shock, then skepticism, before settling on amusement as she looked around them. Seeing that they now stood on a grassy hill, next to a large oak tree on the land that had housed them for over a century. Before looking down at their feet, only to look back up at him.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Kou fidgeted. It had taken him a bit to get it all set up without the others. Most of it having been done when he had chosen to go to work. A simple picnic, the food was sandwiches as it was all he was capable of making, along with tea.

Again he waited for her to do something, unsure of how to proceed, but he needed to be honest. Speak his mind and let her know he could still prove he was worth her time.

"What...is this?" she whispered.

"I...figured that if I was going to do this, I'd do it right. Sorry if the food is not good. Cooking was never a skill I was good at," he said.

But I got nothing here without you

When she sat down he felt hope rise in his chest. That same hope he had felt so long ago when he looked through the holes in the cover to the sewers. He somehow equated her to that same light and warmth. Unsure of why Kou slowly settled down on the blanket next to her and went through the motions he had been taught while being passed around from person to person. Serving her first, making sure she was good with what she had.

"I... need to apologize to you, Lunaria," he said as he put his food before him.

The way she just stared at him, eyes watching him guarded. It stung, but he knew he earned it. And if this failed, he would remove himself as an option, though he didn't want to, of being her potential mate. There was no doubt that Tician would treat him coldly, but he somehow knew that girl would not hesitate to take him to her bed.

But it wasn't the elder sister he wanted, no he wanted Lunaria. He liked that she was soft, kind, gentle, and openly affectionate with everyone. Her acceptance was what he wanted. He was tainted in more than just becoming a vampire. His body was used and abused by men and women alike as a child. There were still faint scars on his skin from the wounds that were too deep.

I promise after that, I'll let you go

Letting his eyes meet hers, with an unwavering gaze as he took a deep breath. Steeling himself as he thought about how to say what he wanted.

"I am sorry for acting like an entitled ass. I had no right to say what I said, especially after what you told us. More so since I to have been through similar situations," he said.

Shifting his body so he was on his knees, hands fisted and resting on his thighs, Kou lowered his head to her. Instincts coming alive and demanding he quit debasing himself before her.

"And if you feel that my apology was not honest, nor earnest. I will take myself from being your mate. Respecting you want nothing to do with me," he said, fighting against all that he was at that moment, to be human for that brief few moments, humbling himself.

One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home

She watched him, reading his aura as it danced and flickered about. Showing her exactly what he was feeling, even thinking. The way pain laced its way through it. The pain she could understand from the faint images that were appearing and fading. Proving that like all the others he too had been taken advantage of and used. Leaving her feeling sick to her stomach.

His words took her breath away. It was obviously a struggle for him to do this. There was no mistaking his honesty as anything but genuine. Leaving her to just stare at him. She had already forgiven him. Heck, she had felt his absence the day he didn't come to school. It had her briefly thinking it was her fault. That her harsh, cold words ran him away. Of course, Ruki had disabused her of that notion by saying that Kou worked.

That confused her greatly as who their sponsor and creator was. Even if he was a miser in almost every category. When Ruki explained what Kou did for a job, even showing her images and a short video on his cell phone, a device that still confused her a lot. It had made her curious and had done minor research via talking to the spirits that haunted the boy. Learning more about his story, just as Tician had from Reiji's and Shu's mother.

Standing up, she dusted her pleated skirt off as she walked to stand by the tree. Where she placed a hand before using the other to motion for Kou to come over to her. Her gaze on the eastern horizon.

"Kou, when you were human, what was the one thing that you always looked forward to? Brought you the most joy and happiness?" she asked him as he came into her peripheral vision.

But stay with me a minute
I swear I'll make it worth it

His silence let her know that he was unsure of how to answer it. But still, she stayed silent and waited for his answer to come. Already she could see the change happening in the sky. Tilting her face up as she let a small smile play on her lips.

"I...I lived in the sewers until I was placed in the orphanage. So, seeing the sunshine through the holes in the sewer cover," he said, his voice barely even a whisper, but she heard it.

Smiling wider as she looked up at him, noting he was looking longingly at the eastern horizon as well. It was something she always looked forward to as a kid. Because her father, brother, and Lady Anya had all told her that when the sun rose it was a new day full of new beginnings and chances.

"I love the sun as well," she stated simply.

Can't you forgive me
At least just temporarily

He was nervous. Already the sky was changing from a dark hue to a multitude of brilliant colors. Lighting up as the sun began its ascent into the sky. Lunaria's words curious as he looked down at her. The smile she had on her face as he realized that she was watching him.

"I...Lunaria..." he started only to stop when she shook her head.

The moment she removed her hand from the tree, it glowing a brilliant white he stiffened. Wondering if she was going to lash out at him. Only to be blinded as she lifted it above her head and snapped her fingers.

"Open your eyes Kou, or you will miss it," he heard her say in a gentle voice.

Slowly, worried he felt his jaw drop as the sun crested the trees. The moment the sun crept across the ground, bringing the green of the grass to life. Tensing and wanting to back away out of pure instinct of being burned, Kou found he move far. His hand was tugged because at some point Lunaria had threaded her fingers through his.

"Do not look away. Have faith and trust Kou. This will be a new start for us," she whispered to him.

Stilling at the implications, Kou tampered down the urge to run and hide from the sunlight. The sun chose that moment to reach them before he was temporarily blinded as it washed over them. When no stinging pain of being burned happened, Kou looked in amazement as he finished watching the sunrise in silence. Subconsciously he felt his hand being squeezed and he returned it.

This was a gift he was being given. Solid proof that she forgave him. Also, something that they shared in common. It had him feeling the need to cry. Something he had not done for over a century.

All I really care is you wake up in my arms

When the shock and amazement wore off, Kou looked down to see Lunaria leaning her head against his arm. Her eyes barely open, struggling to stay awake. Though the faint sheen of sweat on her brow had him curious.

"Lunaria, you are tired. Let me take you to the manner and get you settled, please," he said to her.

When she tilted her head up, looking at him with a contented smile curling her lips. The slow nod of her head as she let her body go lax, barely gave him time to scoop her up into his arms. Realizing that she weighed barely anything at all as he teleported them once more into the manner. Walking silently down the hall pausing briefly before his room, debating.

"Lunaria... is my room okay?" he asked, still uncertain of the limits and boundaries.

A soft hum of acceptance as he watched in awe as she turned her face into his chest and nuzzled him, almost completely asleep in his arms. Sighing and hoping he didn't take her answer wrong, Kou nudged his door open and stepped in, only to close it the same way. His bed was big enough that she could have enough space.

One last time
I need to be the one who takes you home, yeah

She was barely conscious as she felt her person being carried. Exhaustion from using her magic to bend the light, creating a reflective shield had taken it out of her. It was odd that it had done that, but she could chalk it up to the fact that she hadn't really used any of her true abilities for a very long time. Though it worried her, she felt safe and secure as she heard faintly Kou asking her a question, giving just a small hum in response.

Soon her body was nestled into a soft mattress and covered. Making her crack her eyes open and look around a tastefully decorated room. Turning her body at the sound of someone moving in it, she saw Kou heading for the door. Wrinkling her nose at the faint scent that was him filled it she shifted and attempted to push herself into a sitting position. Failing and tumbling from the bed. Only to be stopped by Kou as he wrapped his arms around her person.

"What are you thinking!?" he cried out in shock and exasperation.

"You can stay... it's your... room..." She mumbled as she pressed her face against him. "Rules... no touching... me... in a sexual manner, No.. touching my... scars... Respect...me and ... my body..... Cuddles are okay... if hands don't roam."

Once she finished speaking, once more placed in the bed, between the covers, she saw Kou look at her curiously. Then with a small nod of his head, she tracked him around the foot of the bed as he shed his shirt, shoes, and belt before sliding into the bed next to her. Sighing as she closed her eyes, Lunaria felt the bed shift, before an arm was draped over her waist.

Giving a low growl of approval at what he was doing as she finally fell asleep. She didn't see the wide-eyed look he gave her at the sound she made.
