🦇Ritsu Sakuma 🦇

Sighing, Rei followed behind, nuzzling his nose further into the scarf. Scarlet eyes moving up as the school building towered over them. Tugging at his heart strings. 

“Ritsu…” Since when had his cute, obedient brother turned into someone who was so desper- no. He was not allowed weakness. Not here, not in front of him. Instead he forced on a smile, shook his head, and waved his hand. 

“Darlin’ just be watchful who ya let close.” He was smart, he’d certainly know to be careful. Rei just had to trust him on that, as much as he’d like to meddle in the matter.. He was already far in over his head. 

“Else I’ll chew them raw, ‘lright?” Yearh, that sounded Rei-like enough. Ahhh, perhaps he could sneak off the school grounds before someone noticed him here, and- 

Looking over his shoulder, by the sound of his name. Scarlet eyes watching his brother before he looked forward again, his focus falling down on his feet. Why was his brother looking like that, thinking he wouldn’t see his façade fall.

Like Ritsu would let anyone close again, people was born into this world to use each other and to be used. Like he was using that blond Satan. The one there thought he had him rolled under his thumb, instead he moved as Ritsu expected.

Perhaps part of it was true. Alpha and omega scents were widely different. However, there were similarities. Rei could smell his own blood in Ritsu, like a warm hint of familiarity. He could tell most of the Sakuma family from eachother based on that alone. Others tended to melt into a pot of messed scents. 

Turning partly to face Ritsu as he called for him, Rei quirked an eyebrow, but grabbed the scarf anyway, wrapping it loosely around his neck. Ritsus scent gently interwoven in the fiber together with his own. It was… Homely. “Ya’ll do what again, Ritsu?”

Bring anyone home? No could do. “Be smart about yer choices, Ritsu. Alphas can be tricky to handle, yaknow? Before you know of it, ya’ll be marked by some weirdo. Just let Onii-chan keep them away, ‘lright?”

He wasn’t home all the time, but… He still had enough of a presence to make most back off. Even with those stupid suppressants. 

Ritsu knew enough about alphas and what ever kind of instincts they have, even from before he had presented. It wasn’t hard to look at example of the chess king. That the alphas was stepping all over him, while a beta tried to defend him. For now it at least seemed to work, but an omega kept pushing up in a corner could quickly turn aggressive.

“Fufufu~” Instead of answering, his tone went into a small hum, if he wanted to know what he wanted, then he could listen first time instead of acting like he didn’t hear it. A grin spread on his lips when he turned in to the side to step onto the school ground. Made in time before they would close the gate, for Satans luck that they wouldn’t had to climb it.

if he could, he would bend the world over backwards to ensure his brothers happiness. Sadly, or perhaps rather thankfully, he couldn’t. Weather control had never been in their family either. Mostly it was told to be crowd control and ensnaring. Whether Rei had the ability to do either… That was for someone else to judge. He didn’t care much for it anyway.

“Oi, Ritsu. It’s fairly obvious anyway, it won’t hurt cha’ to be a little familiar at times, yaknow?” One look at their similar features would be enough to nail down a blood bond. 

Rolling his eyes, Rei shrugged before returning the power in his steps again. His mother really was too careful about all of that. No one dared touch Ritsu anyway, Rei would make absolutely sure of that. 

“If ya did drag an alpha home, she’d skin him.“ Unless Rei was faster than her. “Though I can’t say I really get her point. Ya aren’t goin’ to inherit the family either way. If anyone, you should be free to spread ya wings.”

“Eeeeh?~ Than people most be blind, you look nothing like me, and certainly you smell nothing like me too.” With a slight frown, he made sure to follow his brother steps.. Like he had done all his life, not that he had a choice now. He didn’t want to walk millions of km to get to school than to walk another way than him.

Rubbing his neck against his the scarf, using one of his hands to rub it more against it, even if he knew Rei scent was strong, that it would over power both their parents at home. With how many suppressants Ritsu was forced to be on and enough bitterness, it wasn’t like he was going to listen to any alpha either way. 

“Kuku~ Ritsu, ya truly have too much fate in yer Onii-chans power. If that’s what yer want, I’ll give weather control a try~” Flashing his brother a grin, he lowered his pace to let Ritsu catch up to him.

“Don’t cha worry, I’ll make sure ya make it to school properly, Rit~su~” Not that Rei was all that famous for attending. “Eeeh~ I left it behind yesterday.” He’d wound up being caught up in all sorts of other stuff, and before he knew of it, he’d been home, without his darling bike. 

“But really, I’m surprised mom has let that beta of yours enter our establishment. She’s gettin’ soft on her old days.” He knew he’d been coming regularly. He’d always been able to smell the other around their house whenever he came back. Perhaps it’d been Reis presence making him back off since he hadn’t come around this morning? Well.. He could always hope it’d been a coincidence. He didn’t want to lend an ear to Ritsus noisy complaints if that was the case.

In what power? If anything it was more of a curse than anything, making the weather cold and bringing it back how dare he. Ritsu let out a long yawn, flashing his teeth. “Couldn’t you then jump down in a hole and stay there? Actually let the sun shine bright on you too if you are giving weather control a try either way.”

Slowing more down, he raised an eyebrow at his brother. “Don’t walk so close to me, I don’t want people to think I actually know you.” Shaking his head lightly, he wrapped the scarf further around his neck, trying to hide it from the biting cold there came with the wind.

“Oya? Ritsu, don’t be so cold to ya’ Onii-chan, ‘lright?” Here he was, gracing his brother with a scarf of his own, and he had the audacity to complain to him? Well. He was, honestly, not all that surprised. Of course his clothing articles did not smell like that beta Ritsu kept making googly eyes at. 

Placing a small peck on the black hair, Rei made sure to ruffle it lightly before leavving his brother alone. “At least make sure ya take care of yerself. Isara will certainly throw a fit if ya end up with a cold.”

“I thought it was the weather it was the cold.. It is obvious now that you was the one who had brought the chilly wind home instead.. Couldn’t you had let it stay out of the country or something?..” How dare Rei even think he could do as he suit him, specially when the scent of him hanged on the scarf. Alphas was so annoying, with this one particularly have a rather strong scent

Really, how rude of the the seasons of the year actually change, now it even have gone so far to be actually cold, and how annoying it had been when he had left the house and forgotten half the stuff to keep himself warm. He could complain later when he had gotten sick because no one had taken care of him

However when he was stopped by a sudden scarfed being wrapped around his neck, first he wanted to hit out after the person instead of standing still, but the scent of the person quickly made him stop his movement, facing away with a pout instead

His anger rose together with the panic, as he found vertical cuts on his wrists. From the blood on his hands, it was almost impossible to tell what used to be Ritsus - an what wasn’t his. Clearly all of it wasn’t but- 

The touch startled Rei, not from the movement, but from the way his essence reacted to it. His soul barging violently against his rib cage, leaving him breathless, as the pull continued. Unresponsive, he let Ritsu drag him with him to the floor, mind scattered as he tried to figure out the connections.

Even with his very being painfully squished against his meatsuit, he managed to regain control of his arms, wrapping them carefully around Ritsu. Cheek pressed against his damp hair, as he fought to keep his breath under control. 

“Ritsu..? Ritsu- Shhh, it’s okay. It’s-” It definitely wasn’t anything like okay. “Let’s get yer a shower, yea?” He was far too shaken for a shower, definitely, but their parents could be home any minute- and Rei was not dealing with the human consequences of whatever this was.

“Listen’ ‘ere, just focus on my voice, Ritsu. Yer safe. I’ve got ya.”

The sound was muffled, like a ringing still was going off in his ears. Inside of his head felt like being tied to a bell in a clock tower, each and every ring reminding him of the mistake, into at least something sounded recognizable. The soft sound of his brother voice waving away the bells of angels, that he certainly never would get into heaven - Not that he wanted or believed in things like that, but burning in hell and being whipped as a punishment sounded less nice than rebirth.

Ritsu didn’t know if he had the energy to get up, to do anything with the body of his, maybe it was the low blood pressure there had kicked him completely out, damn this body and it weakened constitution.

The cold floor didn’t help either, not was he stood up, or at least tried. Using his brother as his support, scarlet eyes widen, flickering around. He didn’t know where to look. Other than he wanted to get inside a dark room never to see the bright light again, or any one. What if he hurt them too.

Twirling a lock of hair around his fingers, Rei leaned back in the chair, crossing his legs as he let out a low, annoyed sigh. Human parents. The worst, if you asked him. Sure, sure, normal human youngsters shouldn’t go around pokin’ their heads in illegal things.

But the fact was that Rei wasn’t your average teen. In fact he was the fuckin’ demon lord himself. His higness and everything. Now- his parents didn’t exactly believe that, and he was caught in this awful excuse of a body for at least a few decades, so at least he should be allowed to have fun.

Getting told to stay home, and kept under close watch was not his idea of ‘fun’. Neither was the fact that his younger brother had been allowed to stay out, so entertaining himself with the only slightly decent human wasn’t an option either.

The night was entirely lost at this point. Only adding up to wasted grain in the hourglass that was his awful punishment. At least- until the sound of the door opening managed to catch Reis attention long enough for him to mutter out a half-hearted greeting.

Features pacifying the second his eyes landed on the face Ritsu was making. Lips quivering, as his teeth tried to hold back the shaking of his entire body. Blood stained his hands, his clothes-

He reacted before his thoughts managed to come to a logical conclusion, jumping to his feet, and instantly maneuvering himself to his human-brothers side. Reaching out to stabilize him, calling his name in a low, calming tone, as he tried to make sense of it all.

Why would Ritsu be- who had- was he hurt?

It wasn’t planned, not any of this was planned. It was what he got for mixing in with the wrong group there was considered his friends, or not really. It was someone he could waste hours with listening to their wild occult stuff, maybe trying to understand whatever there was in his brother head with the same kind of weirdos.

The same he had thought tonight would be, them sitting in an random abandoned building, talking about vampires, demons and gods. It hadn’t been the case, not as he arrived they was weirdly talk active, arriving down in the building basement.

The drawings there had covered the ground, white chalk forming the Sigil of Baphomet, chanting words as some girl. Which suddenly seemed way to off in her eyes, high on something. She had joined them a few times, so it wasn’t a new face. Not that it had brought the young human any ease as they had tied her up. Offering a knife to him.

That they did this to summon a demon, to summon maybe even the highest lord of all the demons. That a vampire would give the sacrifice, to release the soul from the body.

Why.. Why couldn’t he say no? As the blood had splattered on him, the blood flowing out on the floor, the life leaving her eyes. His head felt dizzy, the sight of the ring being covered in the blood, both from the girl and the cuts each member had placed on their wrist as extra offering. 

His own wrist hurting from there cut forced upon him, the cold in the air as everything felt silent. A heavy feeling as the flight instinct finally kicked in. Running away, running home. That his body knew the ways of alleys so no one would have to seem him like this.

Adrenaline making the hair rise on his arms as he finally closed the door behind him, the sight meeting with the scarlet eyes of his brother.

Where was the point in that conversation anyway? Rei hardly wanted to have it himself. The strain on his soul was more than proof of his humanity. Of his shortcomings. Evident of how he’d failed, and would continue to fail on so many accounts. Yet he was still going. Still ruining lives-

It didn’t matter. Not now. Not while Ritsu was gasping, and blushing. Muttering out that cursed word, that made his head spin. Releasing Ritsus hips with one hand, he rose it to push Ritsus bangs away, cupping his cheek. Forcing him to look up as he stuck his tongue out at him. Blood still coloring his lips. 

“Ya’ all bark no bite, eh~?” 

A hand fell to his wound to stop the bleeding, eyes narrowing annoyingly at his brother forced him to look up at him, eyebrows furrowed at they meet scarlet eyes, now this wasn’t fun anymore. 

The flush continue to spread on his cheeks in anger, his hand from the hair moving to the neck, long fingers tighten around his throat. “I hate you, Anija.”

“Human~? I’m sure our parents will be thrilled to hear that from ya’.” Temptress? He could do with that. If it meant those beautiful sarlet eyes would look at him. Adore him- As long as Ritsu stayed by him. His breath fanned across Ritsus neck, a smile lifting the corner of his lips as he continued.

“Who can say for certain? Maybe a bit of both?” Ritsus presence easily tempted him. Or perhaps it was his loneliness speaking. Gradually rilling up in his lungs on his many travels.

The sting of pain left behind, as Ritsu pulled his hair harshly, made the nocturnal flinch. Almost pulling back, to ease the pull on his scalp, however the sheer temptation of Ritsus threat had him tug the younger male even closer, teeth once again barred before he bit down. 

The taste of blood willed up instantly, filling his mouth, as he retracted. “Cut it then, Ritsu.”

Ritsu didn’t want to have any conversation, not one there had anything concerning Reis ‘humanity’ or what he didn’t have. For what felt like a cult of a family, it would be Ritsu head ending up on a block. Maybe, that could actually be for the best, if it wasn’t for his survival turned to zero if he didn’t stay.

The young nocturnal had expect the victory be his, to whatever game the was playing, that with his hands filled with curls. The older hands tugging him closer. He had expected the older that had given in, that he apparently liked pain so much. Disgusting

Pain seeping through his body from the bite, a gasp leaving his throat. His head dipping down as he took sharp breath, unfair. unfair, unfair.

Letting out a low purr, the elder chuckled at him, taking his time to admire his slim silhouette when he left his neck. “What are ya tryin’ to say, lil’ devil? ‘s that an invitation?” 

“Ya’ have all sorta assumptions about me, don’t cha, baby?” Rei stretched under his touch,  a slow hiss escaping his lips as he removed his hands. “But ya’ made me promise myself to ya’.” While, admittedly, he had had the pleasure of quite a few more or less sinful interactions in this very room, it didn’t change the fact that he’d kept true to his words.

“So if anythin’ this wolf is entirely in yer hands.” Flashing his fangs, Rei leant forwards, teeth snapping close in the air mere milliseconds from Ritsus skin, before he instead pressed a gentle kiss against his neck. “I’ll behave if that’s what ya want. Pinky promise~”

Considering his options he paused for a short time, he had promised him, he was in his hands. Feeling like he had an invisible leash in his hand, to a neatly collar around his brother, at least he was easier to deal with than a half year ago. Where he felt left behind, he was still bitter to some extend. Even more to keep the bitter person in front of other people.

“Fufufu~ Didn’t know I had to do with a human.” Careful, he let his nail run along his neck, wrapping a long lock of hair around his finger, tugging at it. “So easily being tempted, are you sure you are even part of vampire? or are you the actual temptress here?”

He’d had far worse things in his hair. His own spit was hardly anything new, or anything he cared particularly for. “But ya’ do have blood in ya.” And he sure wouldn’t mind breaking Ritsus skin to get to it. Just like Ritsu had, that wild night a few weeks ago.

Letting his brother lean into him, Rei nuzzled his head into Ritsus hair, running his nails along his back, as he let out a satisfied hum. “Kuku, Aren’t ya’ the snippy one today?”

Perhaps he was too used to Ritsus taunting words, or perhaps the sheer fact that Ritsu was so needy was enough to convince him that it’d never happen. Nonetheless he smirked, the palm of his hands coming to rest against Ritsus bare back. “Even if it ain’t, I still wouldn’t let ya’ run off and find someone else. In this moment, ya’ mine~”

“Mhm~ I do, the same blood there curses your veins, the same there makes your heart beat.” So if Rei wanted anything with Ritsus blood, he could break his own skin. Ritsu rather not have the pleasure of the pain there followed from it. The way to forbidden feelings and hormones there would act out of line if he let him.

His back arching away from the nails, scarlet eyes narrowing as he leaned back against him, lips running along the line of his throat. A small hum leaving the younger nocturnal. The else annoyed and grumpy look being exchange for a more satisfied smile

Admittedly he’d been way too busy to really pay Ritsu the attention he deserves. Meetings spread all over the world, sister schools demanding the attention of their bridge builder, for all sorts of bullshit reasons. Rei had been stretched thin. To the point where he almost hadn’t reacted when Ritsu had made his way into the student council room. Alone. Unguarded…

The awful pickup line had appeared in the back of his mind, as Ritsu had settled in his laps. Letting him slip his hands under his shirt, engaging in kisses that shouldn’t be shared by siblings. 

Breaking away with a laughter, the second year shot out his tongue. Licking at Ritsus hand, lowering his eyelids as he watched him. “England, huh? Well, ya’ do look bloody tasty.”

“I didn’t know ya were into polygamy though, colour me impressed, Ritsu. But lemme give ya’ a good ol’ advice; It ain’t that much fun the first times aroun’.” Technically this was an awful place. Knowing Keito he’d be anywhere from three minutes to an hour away from disturbing Rei, or just running into the student council room like a headless chicken for way too logistic reasons.

Ritsu nose scrunched up when he felt the dampness left on his hand, lifting his upper lip enough to show his fangs. Why was his brother like that, why should he be the one he has fallen for. The one he ended up falling for, his heart was suppose to belong to Mao, not to his brother like this.

Drying the hand off in his brother hair, tugging at one of the loose locks. “I don’t have any blood on me, not considering last time it was just the two of us. You running around with a bloody shoulder.” He hummed out, eyelashes fluttering slowly, chin ending up resting on the president shoulder.

“....”

Why- Why was his brother like this? The had the little ‘accident’ at school a month ago, Ritsu ending up confessing his feelings, the kisses, cuddles at the infirmary. The horrible barely dinner they got from the vending machines as they snuggle the night away. Laughter more shared kisses.

But since then, it seemed like radio silence, even as the spring vacation was nearing, the horrible warmth from spring.

So why had it come to, he had given in when he had entered student council room, looking for Mao. Only to find his brother there, another hissy fit from Ritsu, force to the couch again. Lips on his, it was hard to not return it. To climb into his brother lap when the door was securely locked

What was the cold wind suddenly entering the room? All he did was try and find a good place on the school to take a nap, however instead he ended up in the light music club room, it just was so silent here unlike the rest of the school.

Maybe he had hoped for the luck to find Koga and bully him or something, no instead it seemed empty, if it wasn’t for the big coffin which he was certainly that his brother was in. It would be a shame. Kicking to the lid a few times, he bowed down to opened the lid. “Nee- Anija.” Ah.. It was empty, what a disappointment. This could be the time to mess with his air condition in the coffin, but that crave effort.

Of course they would have been stopped. Rei was not supposed to be pinned down by another vampire. Not supposed to let someone weaker than him bite into his veins. Closing his eyes, Rei tipped his head backwards, letting out a quiet hum as Ritsu ran a hand up his chest. 

Expectation riding through his body as Ritsu leant in again. His breath fanning out across his skin as Rei tensed. It felt impossible that anyone else should ever be allowed this. That he should ever feel someone he’d allow seeing this vulnerability. 

Rei flinched slightly as teeth big through his skin again. leaving the signature warmth behind, the strange sensation feeding brought with it. There was something strangely melancholic about the entire thing. Even as he clenched his hand around tufts of Ritsus hair. Nails digging into his scalp, before he forced himself to release him. He’d never allow himself to hurt him. That was the one thing he’d promised himself. 

A heavy exhales left his nose, his body trembling from the starvation it had suffered the last few months. The blood taste didn’t even register on his tongue as he swallowed a few mouthful. The small reminder of the hand removed from his hair, it was an actual person he had under him, not just a blood bag that he could feed off into it was empty.

Running over the wounds with his tongue, everything seemed so blurry as he stared onto his brothers neck. Tears escaping his eyes as drops of them landed beside the wounds. He hated him, hated him for getting to close so he couldn’t control his instincts. For letting him feed from him when he shouldn’t and worst of it. Letting Rei get so close to him. “I hate you, you are a traitor, someone who break promises. I hate you!”
