krystalkatzficz | More than a slave part 13

Ohno led Nino to the old pier. It was a crumbling wreck complete with a ‘Danger’ sign over the entrance but it was all for show. The pier was as sturdy as he was and had been for the last 100 years since Ohno had built it. It ran out into the water and on the end there was seat a place that the vampire had sat on a lot over the years. Nino gripped his arm tightly his fingers wrapping around him tightly and as he pressed into him as they stepped out onto the wooden pier.

“It’s okay…I’m with you Nino…” Ohno whispered reassuringly his hand moving up and down his back in slow circles. “I won’t let anything happen to you…”

“I know, sir” Nino answered but Ohno could tell that the little human’s legs were shaking as they walked down to the bench "I trust you..."
"Your trust means a lot to me Kazu, thank-you" Ohno smiled helping him to sit and then sitting down himself placing the bags of clothes down around them. "This is my place I built it a 100 years ago...it's now viewed as a historical site..."

"It is a beautiful place sir, I'm glad that it's not a boat..." Nino whispered looking sheepishly down at the gaps between the wood his fave going a funny shade of green as the waves churned. Ohno chuckled and reached out to take his hand linking their fingers tightly

"You have lived with me for a long time now but this is the first time we have been out together..." Ohno mumbled needlessly squeezing the tiny hand that was in his "I'm glad that we came here to this spot...I always wanted somebody special to share it with..."

"I still can't believe you think me worthy of that..."

"Kazu I wish I could find a way of making you realise how worthy you are..."

“I'm sorry sir, but once a slave always a slave” Nino shrugged, with a sad smile. Ohno gripped his hand tightly wishing he was able to wipe away his memories. There were those in his kind that did have that gift or so it was rumoured but if it was true he didn’t know any of them and
he didn’t know if Nino would want his memories to be taken away like that.

“You’re not a slave Nino,” He told him softly doubting that his words would change anything. Nino looked at him, his smile becoming a little happier and less glassy. It wasn’t as stunning as the huge smiles that he had seen Aiba give Jun but that he had had caused it was enough to make his heart dance with joy.

“Thank-you, sir…” Nino whispered before nibbling on his lip lightly “Um…May I ask you a question?”

“Of course you can…” Ohno answered smiling at him gently his hand coming up to cup the human’s cheek his thumb moving over his lip wishing that the little human would believe him that anything that he wanted was fine with him.

“In the shop…Why did that other vampire call you ‘sir’…He looked scared of you…” Nino said and Ohno sighed a little his hand moving away from Nino’s cheek to scratch the back of his neck while staring out over the ocean watching the moon light playing around on the very gentle bobs of the waves. He had been expecting the question but he wasn't sure if he could give an answer that made Nino even more nervous to be with him.

“My family is well respected amongst vampires...” Ohno told him almost reluctantly biting his lip and playing around with the human’s fingers again “We’re elites”

“Elites?!” Nino hissed and the vampire nodded he had guessed that Nino would have heard of the elite vampires during his time with the monster that had had him and Ohno guessed that most of what he had heard wouldn’t have been good “You’re an elite vampire?”

“Yep... And so is Jun...” Ohno answered swiftly. Nino fell silent as he nodded like he could see Matsu as an Elite but not Ohno. If he had only ever heard about the elites before but from the stories he would have been told that they were sleek, beautiful and powerful, and for some reason it made him happy that he couldn’t picture Ohno as one. Ohno smiled understandingly stroking his hand with his thumb “I don’t find any pride in that fact, but my family are and they’ve made us the most respected family in Japan”

“…And you run the slave shop?” Nino mumbled his whole body tensing and Ohno quickly hissed;

“I don’t want to... I hate that place, but my family insists...The most I can do is make sure that they’re treated as nicely as possible while they’re there”

He ran his fingers through his sandy brown hair for a long time and chewed on his lips staring at the ocean preparing for Nino to get up and leave and was grateful when he didn’t just squeezed his hand gently in return. Nino looked out over the ocean looking thoughtful for a very long time before asking;

“Do you keep records?”

“What?” Ohno spluttered not being able to believe that was the question that came out instead of him shouting and Nino repeated;

“Do they keep records?”

“Yes...” Ohno frowned before a spark realisation dawned and he whispered “You want to know what happened to your sister.” Nino nodded chewing his lip and turning to look at him flashing his large eyes and Ohno smiled ruffling Nino’s hair wishing that he could say that he would find out but he didn’t want to make any false promises and get his hopes up but he wanted to be able to give him some “I’ll do what I can... But children are forbidden to be sold as slaves, it happens but...It might be impossible to find out exactly…”

“Thank-you for even trying, Oh-chan…” Nino said resting his head against his shoulder and Ohno blinked in surprise his mouth dropping open when he realised what Nino had called him.

“You called me Oh-chan” He breathed shakily and Nino gasped his whole body stiffening as he pulled away and gasped;

“I’m sorry, sir, shouldn’t I?”

“No I like it” Ohno admitted happily with a smile letting go of his hand and wrapping his arm around his shoulder and tugging him into his body surprised when the human pressed a kiss to his cheek.

“You said that you…That you would kiss me again…” Nino whispered shyly his cheeks flushing brightly.

“Are you sure?” Ohno asked pulling away just a little bit not wanting the little human to think he had to do though he did take his hands and turn to look at him with a smile. Nino nodded still blushing but looking more determined that Ohno had ever seen him and it was with a great since of happiness that Nino closed the space between them pressing their bodies together. He watched Nino’s tongue dart over his own lips for a second moistening them and then they were pressed against his. It was a soft kiss not even as deep as the one he had given the human in the clothes shop but, if his heart could beat he was sure that it would be frantically pounding against his ribs. As it was he just gave a soft sigh and wrapped his arms around him tugging him in towards his body and deepening the kiss by pushing his tongue inside. Nino’s head tilted back as their tongues began to dance together his fingers knotted into Nino’s hair. Ohno moaned against the mouth and Nino gave an almost whine when they pulled apart. The vampire smiled gently moving his hair out of Nino’s face before kissing his nose “We shouldn’t rush this, Kazu…Are you hungry?” he asked smiling a little when he heard the human’s stomach give a light grumble. Nino blushed biting at his lip and hugging his stomach as he nodded.

“Yes, sir…” He answered and Ohno had to admit to being a little disappointed that his human hadn’t called him ‘Oh-chan’ again. “But we can go back to the apartment…?”

“Of course…” Ohno agreed getting to his feet and picking up the bags while Nino clung to his arm again getting to his own wobbly ones.
“After I’ve eaten…Can we kiss again…?” Nino whispered wrapping his arms around his and Ohno nodded very happy by hearing that and he said;

“Yes…Of course we can, I’d like that a lot…”

“Me to, si-Oh-chan…”
