》Kuro, Mahiru, Sakuya《
Mahiru never would have thought that there would be a day when he willingly spend the whole day in his apartment.
With the way his life was going lately, he could have expected some surprising things to happen, but this had never been one of them.
But sometimes the circumstances called for drastic measures.
Like staying inside for the whole day and doing absolutely nothing.
It was just too hot.
Mahiru never experienced a summer like this in his whole life.
When he had woken up he had been drenched in sweat and he had quickly opened the window to let some fresh air in. That had turned out to be a rather bad idea since it was about ten degrees warmer outside than in his bedroom and he was fast in closing the window again.
From there on it had only gotten worse.
At least the water in the shower had been cold, but the second he stepped out of the bathroom the heat had enveloped him like a thick and heavy blanket.
From what the news reporter had said, the temperature would only rise throughout the day and the next week and Mahiru regretted that his apartment didn't have an air conditioner. He didn't even own a fan.
How was he supposed to cool the apartment down?
Before he even had time to think of a solution one of the bedroom doors opened and Kuro stepped into the hallway, his hair a complete mess and stretching his arms above his head.
"Mahiru...good morning..."
He practically yawned throughout the entire sentence, drawing the syllables way longer than they were supposed to be.
"It's not really a good morning," Mahiru replied while leaning against the wall. The heat made him feel tired and exhausted and as unusual it was for him to think that, but he wanted to go back to bed and just sleep.
He glanced at Kuro who also looked like he was only half awake and gestured towards the bathroom.
"If you want to take a shower, go ahead. The water is cold at least."
Kuro didn't bother to reply and just shuffled a few steps towards the general direction of the bathroom before suddenly stopping again.
"Cold water? Who would want to take a cold shower? Being cold while showering is such a pain..."
The look that Mahiru sent him was mirroring the confusion he felt.
"Kuro, what do you mean? Do you want to take a warm shower when it's already this hot?!"
Kuro looked around like he only just now realized that it was way warmer than usual.
"Oh, it is a bit warmer in here."
Mahiru could only stare in disbelief at the vampire.
"Do you mean you don't feel hot?"
"Huh? Oh...well I'm a vampire so my body temperature is pretty low. I'm not really affected by heat or cold or anything...guess I forgot to tell you..."
The second Kuro finished talking Mahiru was standing in front of him, reaching for his hand. He hadn't even been aware of the fact that he moved until he was already on his way towards Kuro.
Now he tentatively reached out for Kuro's hand and upon feeling the coolness of it, pressed it against his cheek.
"You're so cool," Mahiru sighed while already moving closer to the vampire. His other hand went to Kuro's shirt and beneath it, seeking out the cold skin of his abdomen.
He didn't notice that Kuro was shifting under his touch until the other pulled his hand from Mahiru's grasp and Mahiru immediately retracted his own hand from underneath his shirt.

He looked up at Kuro's face and noticed that his cheeks had a bit of a rosy tint to it and that he was avoiding his gaze.
Mahiru tried to apologize, suddenly very aware of what he had just done. When they had started dating Mahiru had realized that Kuro wasn't comfortable with too much contact and it hadn't been an issue until now.
He should apologize for doing something like this so suddenly.
"I'm sorry-"
Kuro interrupted him.
"I'm going to take a shower now..."
And with that he was gone, faster than Mahiru had ever seen him move out of his own volition.
He stared at the point where Kuro had stood for a few more seconds, feeling the parts of his body that had cooled down a bit when he was touching Kuro heat up again. The additional heat from the embarassment he felt didn't help either.
He let out a defeated sigh.
How was he going to survive the day?
He needed something to do, something to keep him busy and distract him from the heat.
Maybe he could do the laundry? Or clean up the mess that Kuro had made yesterday evening?
He would love to do all of those things, but even the thought of moving more than necessary made him start to sweat. He needed a distraction that didn't involve moving.
For example a conversation. Kuro was showering so that only left Sakuya, but he was still sleeping...
Mahiru went rigid when a sudden realization hit him. If Kuro was cold because he was a vampire, then Sakuya...
In a matter of seconds he was at his bedroom door, knocking twice and waiting for a response. When none came he slowly opened the door and entered the room.
Sakuya was sprawled across his bed, his blanket on the floor in front of it, probably having been kicked off at some point during the night. He was still sleeping, his hair also a mess and he looked so peaceful that Mahiru almost turned around and left the room again.
Almost.
In the end the searing heat and the desire to find something that would cool him down prevailed and he stepped closer to the bed.
He reached for Sakuya's hand and when his fingers came in contact with the same cool skin that he had felt when touching Kuro, he let out a dreamy sigh.
Then, carefully as to not wake the other, he climbed onto the bed and searched for a spot to lie down.
Mahiru ended up with his face pressed to the Sakuya's chest where he could feel the coldness even through the fabric of the t-shirt he was wearing and his arms wound around Sakuya's middle.
It wasn't really the most comfortable of positions, but at least Mahiru wasn't that hot anymore and he could finally rest. The few hours he had been awake had felt like days of hard labour and he felt himself drifting into sleep, the heat kept in check by the vampire who was lying beneath him.
-
He woke to the feeling of a hand combing through his hair and he blinked slowly while his eyes adjusted to the bright light in the room.
"Oh, sorry did I wake you?"
It only took Mahiru seconds to recognise who had talked and that he shouldn't respond with a "no".
"Oh, yeah, I guess you did."
He lifted his head from Sakuya's chest and looked up into the other's smiling face. He could feel one of Sakuya's hands still combing through his hair making him feel relaxed.
"So do you what to explain why you basically assaulted me in my sleep?"
Mahiru knew that Sakuya was only exaggerating, but he still felt the urge to defend himself.
"I didn't assault you!"
"You basically tried to crush me in my sleep. I'd call that an assault."
