Smiling at the peck on the cheek, Desmond tried his damndest to beat his feelings back down like a man. "Mitsu... You really don't owe me anything." His hand traced upwards to the exposed flesh, circling it with his fingertip. He couldn't really say he was that hungry. Guilt had taken up residence in his stomach and seemed intent on staying there. "You know what I would like? I'd like to make you feel good.... No matter what that entails." Maybe it would make him feel less like a complete monster. "What can I do for you?"
----
"You don't need to be so good to me, you know. I'd be just as happy in some two story hotel on the rough side of town as long as I got to be there with you." Riyo sighed and reached up to touch his cheek. "This right here. This quiet moment we're sharing... It's what really matters to me."

Well it didn't seem like he was hungry so Mitsu let go of her collar placing her hand back on his chest. "Silly, I already feel good because I'm here with you." She smiled her tail going from swaying to wagging. Though she still gave his offer a little thought unsure really what she wanted. "If I have to choose I want us to do something we can both enjoy. How about some options to choose from?" That way she was still picking in the end but she could get his along the way. "You can suggest anything." She grinned a bit playfully, a look that was rarely seen. At this moment she would do her best not to let her nervousness show. It was for him after all.
---
"But I like being good to you," Klyde nearly frowned at his own words as one of his hands strayed from her ear to rub at her neck, soothing away any tenseness he found with skillful hands. "I want to make you happy, see you smile. I want to make this last." He wished he could make it last, but the clock was ticking as the very hours faded away in time. "And my girlfriend is far too good for a two story hotel so you should apologize," He teased.

------Hold on to your hats gents, we're going to the future!------
Klyde hardly slept due to his guilt ridden mind. Every time he closed his eyes and thought sleep might claim him the thoughts of Halloween and what they were going to do plagued him forcing him awake once again. Finally he had settled on watching Riyo in her sleep, hardly a twitch going unnoticed as his hands ran idly through her long blonde hair. He stayed that way until close to morning, eyes in a half-lidded haze still fighting off sleep that was all but clawing at his door.
---
Unlike Klyde, Mitsu had slept fairly soundly, feeling safe and comfortable in Desmond's arms. She didn't always sleep well in the dorm, even knowing Riyo was there. Often during the night she would wake thinking Suto was above her ready to cut into her flesh, but when her eyes opened he wasn't there. She lost a lot of sleep due to that so she was making up for it now by sleeping in; her breathing soft and slow as she continued to slumber, her arms wrapped loosely around one of Desmond's.

And then everything was dark.
The scent of death was slowly wafting through the air. Why couldn't she see?
There was some kind of broken music player a short distance away. It filled her ears with painfully sharp noise, like a needle continuously skipping on the grooves of a record. Why couldn't she see?
The ground was wet... And moving. Her fingertips were covered in it. But it wasn't alone. There was blood that accompanied the death smell. She was laying in it... So familiar...
Why couldn't she see?
"I do love the trouble you get yourself into, Riyo."
A voice from behind made her tense. She knew that voice. It had been awhile...
"Did you ever think this whole scenario might be too easy? I mean, you've seen it play out before. You know this can't last... Yet you still hold onto that hope. Tragic, yet delicious."
"I just..." she tried to respond. "I just figured the world was finally paying me back for all the-"
"Stop. Just stop right there." She felt a foot on her back, pressing her into the wet substance covering the ground. "The world never owed you anything. Not a single solitary thing. It will only take from you until you have nothing left... But at the same time..."
The voice suddenly got closer to her ear. "You don't owe the world anything either. Why don't you realize that? You can take everything from them. Let them feel what it's like to have nothing for once."
Riyo visibly frowned. "I don't want to be like that. I don't want to force people into my position."
There was silence for a moment.. "Well then." She felt a hand reach for what was obscuring her vision. It was a blindfold. That was why she couldn't see.
"This is what you're heading for." With a flick of the wrist, the blindfold was off...
Dead.
Everybody she knew was dead in a room where a party had been long abandoned...
And she was covered in their blood.
Riyo's eyes shot open like a bullet being fired quickly accompanied by a loud shriek. She flung herself forward and held her head as if it would fall off her shoulders should she let go. She was covered in sweat. "T-that won't happen." Her eyes were wide open, but her mind couldn't seem to process that her location was vastly different from where she usually was. "It won't happen..."
----
Desmond was in the same boat as Klyde, finding himself waking up at random intervals of the night to watch Mitsu sleep before he dozed off again. He wouldn't get to enjoy this much longer. Sunrise would come, she would leave, and there was a good chance he'd never have this view again.
She was so warm... The body heat passed through him and gave a temporarily feeling of being alive. It was the first time he even cared about something so simple as that.
"I'm such a b*****d." He whispered to himself as his sleep deprived eyes watched her do what he simply couldn't.

Klyde's eyes had been about to shut again in an attempt to sleep for the tenth time but they quickly shot back open when he heard the shriek. Like a fire had been lit under him he jumped nearly falling from the bed in the process. "Sweet Mother Mary!" Well, he was certainly awake now.
Sitting up a little awkwardly he looked to Riyo, hands reaching out for her shoulders to draw her close. He wasn't sure what she had been dreaming about to make her cry out like that but it more than likely wasn't something good. "Hey, its okay." He tried to say as soothingly as possible. "It was just a dream."
----
A smile formed on Mitsu's face in her sleep, a look of contentment as she snuggled closer. "Desmond." His name slipped through her lips as she continued to dream, arms holding his a little more firmly.
It took a few more minutes of small shifts and mumbles before Mitsu started to come around. Eyes fluttered for a moment before they opened, bright crimson eyes focusing first on Desmond's chest since that was directly in her line of sight. It took another moment or two before her brain seemed to process what she was seeing before her head tilted up, a sleepy smile on her face. "Good morning." Her voice was soft not yet up to par for speaking just yet.

Riyo jumped at the feel of somebody touching her, immediately coming back down to earth. Maybe a little too soon, because her body wasn't all too thrilled with her. She was sore. Why was she-
Turning her head around to see who it was, Riyo realized what had happened. It didn't take a genius to realize what two naked people in a hotel bed meant. Memories of last night struck her like a bat, but it didn't upset her. She'd done it willingly. No alcohol involved... And she also remembered why.
Carefully moving herself to face him, she wrapped her arms around his torso and curled up against him. It had been just a dream. "Thank God." He had been among them... And his corpse had probably looked the worst... But there he was, absolutely fine just like he'd been last night.
----
Desmond visually frowned as he heard his name called in her sleep. Oh God. Now she was even dreaming about him.
Any other time he would've found it sweet and very flattering... But now all he could feel was terrible.
when her eyes opened, he forced a smile for her sake and moved his free arm to touch her cheek. "Morning beautiful." His voice cracked as he spoke, a groggy sound accompanying it.

Klyde's eyebrows furrowed together as she turned toward him and wrapped her arms around his chest. It took him a second to mimic the movement, his arms wrapping around her shoulders and holding her close. He was really deep in s**t now....why was he such an a*****e? "Riyo, are you okay?" He asked softly, his mind trying to not focus on how bad it was that she sought comfort in him.
"You're not..." He pulled back a bit to try and look her in the face. "You don't regret last night do you?" Maybe that had been the cause of her nightmare? If anything maybe it would be a stroke of luck if she did. In the end he would be the only one hurt if she started to pull away.
----
A slightly amused smile touched Mitsu's face as she rubbed at her eyes. "You still sound sleepy." Sitting up slowly Mitsu stretched. She felt pretty good after waking up for a change, even the slight soreness didn't bother her. "I haven't slept that well in a while." Drawing her knees up she leaned forward against them, turning her head to look at Desmond. It was rather nice to wake up with him there, she wished she could do it more often. "I wish mornings could always be like this." She smiled closing her eyes.
Her stomach then gave a very audible growl and she was very painfully reminded she hadn't eaten since lunch time yesterday. The animal crackers she had grabbed last night were somewhere in the room untouched though she was sure that wouldn't satisfy her need for substance. "Sorry, guess I'm a little hungry." A slight hue of pink touched her cheeks as she wrapped an arm around her stomach.

"Y-yeah. I'm alright." Was she? Honestly, she wasn't sure. As much as she wanted to deny it, that dream came with an ominous feeling...
Looking up at Klyde as he pulled back, Riyo's eyes widened at his question. To which she quickly answered with a soft peck on the lips. "Are you kidding?" There was a small smile pushing through the bad feeling in her gut. Her arms unwrapped from around him to reach up and run fingers through his messy hair. "I wouldn't change last night for anything."
Though... She sort of felt guilty. They'd done all that... Yet he had no idea what she really was. No idea what's just beneath the skin. And she couldn't bring herself to tell him. Maybe... It was her being selfish. She tried to convince herself that he could handle it, should she ever go out of control... She'd told him her weakness... And he was strong anyways. Surely he could manage...
---
"Little bit." Desmond answered and sat up right after her, a hand reaching up to scratch her back. He was going to ask why she hadn't been sleeping, but the comment that followed was like a punch in the gut. "As do I." Truthfully, he did. If only the hive didn't exist, and he'd met her on his own terms. He'd be able to take care of her for as long as she'd have him.
The sound of a stomach growling interrupted his train of thought, making him look down at her with a smile. "How would you like to get some breakfast somewhere? My treat." As if she didn't know by now.

Klyde smiled at her answer even though it was like a double edge sword. He was happy to hear that because she really wanted to be with him but at the same time it added to his guilt.....because she wanted to be with him. There was no way in this situation to have your cake and eat it too as they say. "I'm glad to hear that." He closed his eyes enjoying the feel of her fingers running through his hair. It wasn't gelled like normal so her fingers glided through rather easily.
Klyde knew that Riyo was surely hungry, but he wasn't in the mood to go anywhere just yet. In fact....he was rather comfortable right where he was, his tired eyes forcing themselves back open. "You're probably hungry right?" He certainly was. "How about some room service?"
-----
Involuntarily Mitsu leaned into Desmond's scratching hand, her face the picture of bliss. Luckily the way she was sitting she was able to control the urge to leg kick....it was rather embarrassing really when it happened. "Breakfast sounds nice." She said in almost a sigh. "You don't always have to treat me though." Eyes opening again they settled on his face. "You do so much for me...I don't want to take advantage of you."
Slowly, and a bit reluctantly, Mitsu moved from her spot in search of her clothing. Desmond had tossed her stuff about so it was a chore finding it all. In the end she had found most of her clothing but was still in search of her bra....strange...because there wasn't many places it could be. Their room was well organized so it wasn't like it was lost in clutter.

"That sounds lovely." Riyo didn't really want to leave yet anyways. Honestly, if it was possible, she'd stay in this moment forever.
As her growling stomach caught her attention, she seemed to realize something. Looking up into his eyes, she moved her hands down to his shoulders. "You didn't eat anything yesterday, did you?" At least from the point they met up to now...
----
"You're not taking advantage of me. I always volunteer to take you places." It wasn't like he didn't have the funds to do so, after all.
As she got up, Desmond followed, quickly slipping on a clean pair of boxers from his dresser drawer. "Missing something?" He asked as he watched her search.

Klyde smiled softly, "No I guess I haven't." Though he certainly realized it more than he let on. His thirst was bad enough that it felt like someone had rammed a white hot poker down his throat. So far his guilt and being too tired to do anything helped him maintain control, but it was hard to say how long that would last. "I think this hotel is a little more vampire friendly. I should be able to get something." He tried to reassure as he looked to the nightstand beside the bed. Pulling out one of the drawers he rummaged inside for a moment before he pulled out a menu of sorts and handed it to Riyo. "Pick what you want, don't look at the price."
----
Mitsu seemed to be in thought, a finger tapping her lip as she continued to look around. Everything of her's had been piled together for the most part so her one article of missing clothing was like a mystery. Eyes doing one more sweep they settled on Desmond's clothes. She hadn't really moved them around all that much maybe it was there. Swooping down to investigate she moved his pants aside and sure enough it was there. "No, I found it."
Ducking into their bathroom she quickly put the bra on and straightened out her other clothes as best as possible. At least it was manageable. Heading to the sink she began washing her face, overlooking the colorful box on the counter that had 'Trojan' spelled out on the front. If she hadn't be so caught up with getting ready to go she might have had quite a few questions for Desmond as she walked back out the bathroom door. Luckily she had missed it. "I think I'm ready."

How was he being so calm over it? Riyo couldn't really understand... But his words gave her comfort. If he could get something here, then there was no need to worry, right?
Taking the menu and opening it up, Riyo couldn't help but look at the prices as he told her not to. They made her stomach knot up. Did he have that much money to throw away? Her mother was well off, but most of the money that took up residence in her wallet was her own that she'd made from selling porn along with other odds and ends...
"I think a bowl of cereal sounds great." Half the stuff was so fancy she couldn't even pronounce it. So she just went with the cheapest thing. "And a glass of milk."
-----
While Mitsu made her way to the bathroom, Desmond rummaged through his clothes and tossed on one of those artsy fartsy shirts with some abstract design on it... Along with a pair of pants, of course. "And where would you like to go this morning?" He asked as he finished buttoning his pants up.

"Are you sure?" Klyde asked doubtfully as he plucked the menu from her hands. "Don't make me order for you because I'll just order a lot to make sure you get something you like." He looked over the menu in an unfamiliar way. He was even less accustomed to the items since he generally didn't venture to eat....unless it was sweets. As if to prove his point on the matter, Klyde turned toward the night stand again and grabbed for the phone.
----
"Hmm," Mitsu seemed to give it some thought. Naturally she would have to choose since he wouldn't be eating. "Is there a place you can get something to eat too?" She questioned. "Or...do you....want to eat before we go?" She might as well offer, she had last night but he wasn't hungry at the time. Surely he was hungry now. At least this way she would be able to pay him back a little.

Riyo blinked as the menu was taken from her fingers, shooting him a look at his threat. "B-but... That's such a waste of money. Hasn't anybody taught you the meaning of frugality, young man?" It was sort of a rhetorical question since it was obvious they hadn't from the expensive hotel room they currently took up residence in. As he reached for the phone, her hands went to her hips, a huff escaping her mouth. "Don't you do it. I'll... I'll beat you up."
---
Desmond was hungry. He'd had a couple bottles of blood before calling her last night... But that had only done enough to hold him over. "M-mitsu... You don't have to do that..." The guilt didn't fill his stomach as much as it had last night. The very thought of having that delicate neck in his mouth was prodding at his empty stomach... He had to stay in control... Think about something else...

"I wouldn't worry so much about the money I spend and just enjoy yourself." Klyde looked over the menu deciding on a few things for her. She liked meat, right? So if he stuck with that he couldn't go wrong.
"Oh, you'll beat me will you?" Klyde's smile turned into a devious grin at the thought. "Dare you." He teased pulling the phone off the receiver and placing it to his ear. The hotel music kicked in on the other side while he waited for someone to pick up.
---
"Desmond, its okay." Mitsu smiled as she approached pulling her hair over one shoulder to keep it out of the way. "I....want you to." It was like equivalent exchange in her mind. To get something you must first give something in return. It wasn't like the thought bothered her anymore. What was a little bite compared to what she had experienced so far? And what was a little blood in comparison to what Desmond had given her. In her mind she was still in far greater debt.
