Looking around frowned slightly and noticed the doors to her balconey were open, smelling smoke she crinkled her nose as she walked outside her steps silent as Era walked up behind Hiro her arms wrapped around his waist. Placing her head on his back she yawned softly "Come back inside Hiro...it's freezing out here" Era said softly as she shivered, she wanted to make sure Hiro go some form of rest even if it took effort and meant she wouldn't be sleeping for a while she wanted him to rest and not move around. |

Coughing, Hiro took another deep drag of his cigarette before letting it drop down to the street below. It hurt to keep the smoke in his lungs, but his body still wanted it all. The vampire was caught in a deep thought as he exhaled and heard Era speak to him. He could feel her body shivering as she held him.
"I'm fine, Miss Era. But look, you're shivering. Let's get you back inside, shall we?" Hiro turned around with a fanciful smile and put an arm lightly around her waist as he guided her sleepy self back into her bedroom. As he stood beside her bed for a short while, Hiro frowned and sighed a bit. He heard music, and it was awfully too loud to be able to sleep to. "I'll be back in just a moment, Miss Era. There's something I need to attend to." Before she could protest, Hiro laid her in her bed and was out the door in no time. It was true he was feeling a little bit better, and it made him all too stubborn to get rest, but his body still needed plenty of it.
The vampire returned to Era's apartment a short while later, a few bruises on his body but nothing Era would notice in her tired state. He spat a bit of blood in the sink and rinsed it down the drain as he glared at his reflection in the mirror, highly disappointed. One this was for sure though, the loud music had stopped. And his side was hurting a lot again.

Getting out of her bed she walked over to the doors of her balconey and pulled them shut plunging most of the room back into darkness, but her lamp light was still on "Hiro...are you ok?" she called as she walked back to her bed and laid back down. Pulling the covers back up to her waist she grabbed a pillow leaving one beside her own, laying back on her side she closed her eyes trying to get some more sleep before she reached over and turned her lamp off making her room nice and dark. If Era found out he had gone and hurt someone she wasn't going to be too happy with him, not unless he had a good reason why he was hurt and she had a feeling it had to do with the person who always played their music loudly. |

Hiro could hear Era rustling about in her bed, probably trying to decide if she wanted to wake up or just let her body rest some more. He smiled when he noted the light in her room had turned off. Making his way into her room slowly, the darkness was too familiar to him. Hiro sat on the edge of her bed and smiled though she couldn't see him. "I'll always be alright... for you..." he told her, unsure if she would even hear him if she was already asleep. "... its whatever, u know?" sighing lightly, Hiro ran a hand through her hair softly before pulling it back and feeling bad for touching her. "I'm sorry, Miss Era. For ruining your night. For worrying you." He took a deep breath and ignored the pain. "... for frightening you. I promised you I would keep you safe... and I suppose you could say I have, but... I'd like to keep doing so... and I might be the most dangerous to you now... I don't even know what to do anymore...." Hiro got up and let the girl sleep, he felt a little better for having spoken a bit of his mind, even though he wasn't sure if she had heard him or not. Somehow he rather preferred if she hadn't.
Hiro left her room slowly, walking through her dark apartment with no trouble at all. In the smaller kitchen he grabbed a small, rather dull knife and decided to take a shower. As the hot water burned over his skin, Hiro stared at his arm and stabbed into it with the knife. Not long after he pulled the blade out, it already healed but the pain remained. He sighed heavily. "Just what the fuck are you...?" the vampire whispered sadly to himself. Wether it was to try and take his mind away from the emotional pain, or to feel even with those he'd killed, Hiro began cutting deep into his arm, right about where one of his victims got theirs severed at. He stabbed himself in the chest a few times with no hesitation for himself, and even slit his throat. All of which brought unimaginable pain, but they soon healed up and he was just as he had been before, plus a few more scars. The pain did nothing to take his mind off everything that had happened throughout the night. Hiro turned the faucet to as cold as it can go, and bathed in the icy water. His skin grew horribly pale and blued, his lips trembling, his heart-rate slowing, but the vampire didn't step out of the shower. A short while later, he sat up against the tiled wall and fell asleep in the freezing cold.

Kneeling down beside him she touched his cheek only to pull her hand away from how cold he was "Hiro wake up" Era said clearly her voice laced with underlying panic, reaching up she turned on the hot faucet. As soon as the shower heated up Era made the water lukwarm, carefully she moved Hiro away from the wall and sat with her back against it as she leaned him against her. Era knew she would have to get dry again and dress in something else, draping her arms over his shoulders her hands sat on his chest as she humed a tune softly.
Era was more awake then anything, leaning down slightly she kissed his cheek gently. Reaching up after a little while Era turned the faucet off but tried to stay still with Hiro still leaning against her, humming softly she gently touched the scars on his chest with a light frown but continued humming for a moment before she stopped and sighed softly to herself. |

There was a faint voice in Hiro's mind. It was Era's. He could hear her comforting him, and what felt like her soft touch on his chest, but the vampire couldn't be too sure. He was incredibly tired and almost didn't want to wake up, though he hadn't quite gotten there. Being in a daze half asleep the entire time, he was aware she came with him into the shower, but felt too weak and horrible to do anything about it. Everything was constantly blurred. It must have felt so gross to have her arms on him, even in the warmer water, he wasn't heating up at all and remained blued and colder than ice.
Hiro started coughing and came to completely, covering his mouth slowly with one hand so blood didnt get everywhere. After about a minute or so he calmed down and got up. It seemed as though most of his pain was gone, or at the very least his entire body was too numb to feel any of it. He saw Era all wet through the saddest eyes ever. "I'm heaps sorry to have gotten you wet. Let's get you dry, Miss Era. We wouldn't want you to catch a cold do we?" he whispered softly, his voice weak and blood dripping down his chin before he wiped it off without a care in the world. Even now, he cared so much about her.
The vampire stepped out of the shower and brought Era a towel as he dried her off and slid off her wet nightgown for her, wrapping her in a dry towel. He slowly dried himself off, not particularly caring that he didn't do the most thorough job like with his Era. Walking past the mirror, Hiro couldn't help but glance in it, only to swiftly look away in disgust. Again, all his scars were so clearly visible anybody looking at him would have thought he went through a meat grinder. It made him extra self conscious, as if the situation wasn't awkward enough for him.
On his way through the living room, Hiro picked up his pack of cigarettes he had left on the coffee table and went to the balcony, but just stood at the sliding glass door with his cold fingers pressed up against it. His breath made fog on the glass. He said nothing.

Letting Hiro dry her off she watched as he walked out of the bathroom, shaking her head slightly as she ran a hand through her hair. Walking out of the bathroom Era walked back into her bedroom, rumaging through her closet she found another nightgown one she hadn't worn in years. Shrugging she pulled it on, it was a silk one but was a light pink in colour. Sitting down on her bed she propped up her pillow against the head board and leaned against it "Hiro...come here for a second" she said loud enough for him to hear.
Rubbing her eyes Era sighed softly, there was no way she was going to let Hiro out of her sight. Or at least out of her bed, she wanted him to rest and she wasnt getting much sleep. Crossing her legs she left the sheets bunched up on the bed, Era doubted she would get too much sleep and more then likely would fall asleep on the couch in the living room if she couldn't sleep in her bedroom.

Sighing lightly when he heard her call him, Hiro put the unlit cigarette back on the table and walked into the bedroom slowly. "Yes, Miss Era? What is it?" He politely asked, subconsciously not being too informal and disrespecting of her as the thoughts in the back of his head constantly reminded him that he wasn't good enough for her.
The vampire folded his arms across his chest slowly, any attempt to cover his scars to make his self conscious self happier not particularly working out for the better. There were lacerations around his upper arm that made it quite apparent if something larger had been used his arm would be off. Just like the one werewolf he killed. The markings on his throat also showed up from the cold, and everywhere else he had self inflicted similar wounds to those he dispatched. But amongst the rest, they weren't too noticeable for someone who was perhaps used to seeing wounds all over him. Even in his state, however, the man never shivered. His breath was making little puffs of fog before his face, but they were scarce. Nonetheless, he looked a little better than before, and after sleeping for a short while and being nearly frozen, his heart hurt less each time it beat, though it was extremely slow. Compared to being boiled, it felt wonderful for the vampire to have his blood sluggish in his tattered veins.

Era got out of bed and walked up to him, hooking her arms around his neck gently she watched him "Stay in here?...Please?" she asked softly, she had noticed that he had gone back to calling her miss. Staying leaning against him gently Era leaned up slightly and kissed him gently, she wanted him to see that she wasn't mad at him at all. Shivering slightly Era kept her arms around his neck and stayed standing with him, she wanted to sleep with him near her.
Era didn't care if he smoked in her room it was something she could deal with, watching him she bit her bottom lip softly as she waited to hear what he was going to say to her. She saw the new scars on him but she didn't question them doubting that would solve a thing.

Smiling, Hiro put his arms around her gingerly and carried the girl to her bed. "As you wish." he told her, not making any notion to argue against what she wanted. After pulling the covers over her and tucking her in, he ran a hand through her hair lightly, noting it was still damp. There was a light frown on his face because of it. "Sleep tight, Miss Era. I'll be right here." He reassured her as he went in the other room for just a moment to turn the thermostat up a few degrees to keep her from catching a cold. Thinking to himself, Hiro shook his head a little and smiled. It would have been too much to offer to dry her hair for her. And she was already in bed.
Taking a seat on the floor beside her, his back against the bed, Hiro leaned his head back and stared up at the ceiling. At a loss for words, he said nothing more to her and simply sat there in the cold, not caring in the least about how he felt. It Era hadn't been there for him, he surely would have died, but having drawn the last straw and still be left alive, only put him in an awkward position. Now more than ever, he was only living for the sake of Era. To be with her and keep her happy and not lonely. It was all that he cared for. Things he wanted, the feelings he had, he wouldn't bother with any of it anymore. Hiro was even denying with himself that he in fact was still absolutely in love with Era, no matter what. The vampire knew he shouldn't be with her, and surely didn't ever deserve such a wonderful lady, but he couldn't stop his heart from what it felt, only ignore it the best he could.

But the quitness didn't last long, soon Era's nightmares started; this was one different to her normal nightmares. Opening her eyes Era looked around and found she was in the hospital, it made her frown slightly. Feeling a burning on her wrists she looked down to see she was handcuffed to the bed rails and it made her try and pull her wrists out but couldn't, bitting her bottom lip she looked around to see Hiro just standing there looking at her. Era tried to say something but no words came out as he walked away she stated crying.
Waking up she sat up head hair covering her face, for once she was glad it was just a nightmare. Looking at the headboard she saw more claw marks and bit her bottom lip, getting out of her bed she ran a hand through her hair shifting it from her face. Without saying anything to Hiro she walked to the bathroom, turning the faucet on she splashed the freezing cold water on her face before raising her head and looking at her pale reflection. Bitting her bottom lip she grabbed a towel and dried her face off, she hated nightmares and remebered why she always took the very late shifts at work. |

Watching as Era tossed and turned a bit in her sleep and clawed at her headboard, Hiro sighed. He wished he could just be there and hold her, but something kept him from doing so. Something that told him it wouldn't help anymore. But with the way she ignored him and walked right passed into the bathroom, he knew something had been very different in her nightmares this time around. Had he caused her grief even as she slept? The thought tormented him like no other, but the vampire knew, no matter how he felt about it, now was the time she needed him to be there for her. She needed to be held and loved, wether Hiro would feel wrong for being the one to do it or not.
Hiro cautiously approached Era in the restroom, taking a stand behind her and leaning over, putting his arms around her waist gently. He kissed her neck and comforted her. "It's alright, Miss Era.. I'm here. It was only a nightmare. Everything will be alright." The vampire stood there and wondered why it felt so pleasant to be there for his Era. To hold her in his arms, he missed the feeling so very much even if it had only been a few hours. Again, he had to make a decision to be her gentleman once more and conceal all his pain and hatred deep inside him. There was no way he ought to let it interfere and love her any less. "I'm so sorry... for everything... I may I never have loved me... but I can't explain how very dear you are to me..." Hiro turned Era around slowly and stared down into her majestic, tear filled eyes. Wanting them both to forget everything but their love for one another, the vampire leaned down and pressed his lips against hers passionately.

Era leaned against Hiro gently when he wrapped his arms around her waist, when he kissed her neck she gave a small smile. Letting him turn her around she was a little take aback when he pressed his lips to her, smiling Era kissed him back and wrapped her arms gently around his neck. Breaking the kiss Era looked at Hiro with a small smile "I love you" she said softly as she stayed pressed against him, kissing him again Era nibbled on his bottom lip gently but made no move to take her arms from around his neck or even go back to bed.
She didn't want to have any more nightmares, nuzzling his neck gently. Resting her forehead agianst his neck she closed her eyes for a moment, Era knew she needed to get more sleep but she was being stuborn and forced her eyes open with a soft yawn.

Hiro barely said a word. All he could do was hold his tears back and love his Era the most, even if it still felt a bit awkward. Seeing her smile made him feel so much better. Her yawns were so cute. Kissing her neck again, Hiro stayed close to her as he whispered. "Let's get you back to bed, bbydoll. At the very least, you can tire yourself out on me?" It was the first time he admitted to still being infatuated with his lover, and probably wouldn't be the last. He had a weak heart when it came to showing his feelings for Era. She was perhaps the only person that had ever made him unable to wear a mask and harbor all his true feelings deep inside where nobody could get to them. Era was the only one who could steal his heart and make him feel like a normal human being whom wasn't torn apart by grief and guilt. She made him truly happy, and he only wished to do the same for her. "I'm so sorry, bbydoll. I can't do this no more... you win... you always have... I won't lie... I can't hide it no more... I love you so much. " He felt incredibly dull and idiotic for confessing to her how he typically coped with everything. "I don't care no more if I'm no good for you. I can't bear to see you with anyone else. Hell just being in this room here where other men had shared with you tears me apart. I'm selfish, Era. You're all mine. and I'm nobody's but yours. Forever..."
He laughed a little and kissed her again, reluctantly pulling away and nibbling on her lower lip. The vampire put a hand on her tummy. "Alright, you can be Allie's as well if she comes along."
Somehow, Hiro felt incredibly better already. He felt as though they could finally get over everything and he could let the awkwardness behind them. Above all else, his love for her was everlasting. Hiro picked Era up, her arms still around his neck and his hands supporting her bosom. It was perhaps how anyone would carry a sleepy infant, or simply a lady in love. He knew she was very much tired, but would be too stubborn to sleep. "I'll be alright, I promise... If you wont sleep, please, I'm here for you. Make yourself tired? You may have your way with me." He whispered seductively in her ear before laying down on the bed himself. His skin was warmer and though his breathing was still incredibly shallow, it seemed more steady along with his heart. What little blood she had fed him had gone an incredibly long way. His vampiric body was something near amazing with how much it could tolerate, and how much he would endure for his lover. He hoped he had gotten through to Era, enough to seduce her stubbornness out of her and invoke a lust she couldn't deny, because in truth, though he enjoyed making love to her, he was far too worn out already do barely do any work. It would be up to her.

As she laid there with him thinking over what he had said to her in the bathroom she smiled softly to herself as she fell asleep and stayed pressed against him with her legs tangled with his, as Era relaxed against him she slept peacfully. At least until there were sounds of people talking in the apartments around them, and people shouting in the street. Frowning lightly Era moved slightly and pressed her forehead against his neck gently, opening her eyes for a moment she shut them again "It's too early for people to be making noise" Era mumbled softly though she knew it was late morning. |
