Ethan: 

The evening has just begun and I was already irritated, the household was enjoying themselves, spending some time in the main living area. When I meant the whole household I meant even Ivan and Vladimir which was… weird and honestly freaking me out just a little. I was currently sitting next to Beliath in an armchair. I had one of my many medical textbooks in hand going over the information trying to catch up on some of my reading. If I was the doctor, I needed to stay up to date with all the current and latest techniques. 

I noticed that Eloise, my chalice, was spending quite a bit of time with some of the others, laughing, smiling, and becoming rather buddy-buddy. It doesn’t bother me, no it shouldn’t bother me. She’d been here for some time already and it wasn’t like I generally liked the human anyway. They’re all the same in any case, or so I’d like to have thought. But hearing her, sitting there across the room her honeyed voice ringing through the room as she was speaking with Raphael irked me for some reason. The more she smiled and laughed and had a good time the more irritated I became. 

We weren’t in a relationship, other than her feeding me nightly or every other night. I looked back down at my textbook, attempting to drown out the sound of her voice and concentrate on the words on the page, however, it was becoming increasingly difficult as she just sounded so happy. I wasn’t the one to make her that happy, in fact I can’t recall a time where I have made her happy. 

“She’s my chalice…” I had mumbled to myself, making sure it was low enough that the others couldn’t really hear me. I closed my textbook noting that I wasn’t paying attention anymore to it. I couldn’t, she was just so… I felt so… I couldn’t place the right word. I was just irritated and I couldn’t place why. Why was it that when she started spending more time with him that I became so irritated? I was growing even snappier with her than when she first arrived here at the manor. I sighed, thinking back to our usual feeding routine. 

She’d come into my room, I’d feed, clean her wound then I’d bandage her arm where I’d bitten. She’d leave without a word nor a complaint. Part of her silence was probably because I wasn’t very nice to her from the beginning. However, at one point during our usual routine, she started striking up conversations. At first, I ignored her but slowly started actually answering her questions or making remarks to her stories. I didn’t usually hold any interest in what she said, or I hadn’t until recently. Without my consent, my little chalice had wormed her way into my cold heart. I’ve started to fall for her, a mere human. 

I felt my grip tighten on my textbook, I closed it and sighed watching her become even more buddy, buddy, with Raphael. Her laughter and voice was growing happier with each conversation that they held together. I think the most irritating thing about this whole situation was that I wasn’t the one making her laugh, it wasn't me, it was Raphael. 

One this was for sure, I knew now that one thing, and one thing alone had to happen. I needed to make her fall in love with me. As odd as it may be, coming from myself, I even shocked myself as this though more of a revelation passed through my head became clearer. I wanted, no, I’ve started to crave her attention and hers alone. I want, no, again, I need her to be mine, and mine alone. I want to be the one to make her smile, to make her laugh.

"mako" you yell running over to your boyfriend giving him a tight hug he chuckels"y/n what's up". He replies patting your head softly "mako I won't be able see you at swim practice" you look up with a pout on your face.

"why" he replies curious in witch you gesture you head to the new student "I have to show him around". You explained to makoto that you have to show him around for the next 2 days till he gets used to being on the campus.

"uh haru what do you think" makoto wines to haru only for him to stay silent "she's Been with that transfer student w lot lately but if I say something I may seem clingy". He wines even more not knowing kou was behind him listings to the whole conversation.

"well mako first action speak louder than words show her you don't like her spending to much Time with him but don't be all creepy about it" she states pointing at the olive haired boy "I'll arrange for you two to meet after school up here alone.

"I was beginning to think you were falling for that transfer student" makoto says looking down causing you to look at him in awe before holding his face with yours hands.
