[M-jow]

As the boys headed down the hall to Haru's room, it was just him and Haruhi left in the kitchen.

Yumro smiled as he gently leaned in and squeezed Haruhi hand. "It good to finally have him back home right."

-------------------------------------

Shan woke to the steady sound of rain drumming heavily against the window.

He rolled over before slowly pushing himself upright, still groggy from sleep. The darkness of the room did little to help him wake up. In moments like these, having a physical body definitely had its downsides.

With a quiet yawn, he reached across the bed, instinctively searching for the familiar warmth beside him. Instead, his hand met only an empty, cold mattress. There was no sign of Haru.

Trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep, Shan climbed out of bed and opened the bedroom door. The hallway beyond was dark, the lights still off.

A soft violet glow spread through his pupils as he let a fraction of his power slip free. His natural night vision was already excellent, but with his abilities awakened, every shadow sharpened into crystal-clear detail.

He padded silently down the hallway toward the living room and the open kitchen beyond.

The moment he stepped into the room, he froze.

Curled up in one of the dining chairs was an enormous ball of black feathers.

Shan wasn't frightened. He had seen Haru's harpy form before. But this... this was different.

He'd grown.

His wings were broader and stronger now, layered with sleek adult feathers instead of the soft baby once.

Then another sensation reached him. The sharp, metallic scent of blood.

It was fresh.

For one terrifying moment, Shan's heart lurched into his throat. Had Haru been hurt? Had something happened?

As far as Shan knew, Haru was a hardcore vegan who couldn't even tolerate the smell of blood.

"Haru..." Shan's voice came  concerned as he hurried closer. "Are you hurt?"

-------------------------------------

["You were very very foolish to not tell me how bad things was for you. I would have come.”]

Heat rushed to Julius's face the instant he realized his mate had him caged in, looming over him with pupils blown wide until his eyes looked almost completely black.

The witch caught his lower lip between his teeth, fighting to steady his breathing as he forced himself to take slow, measured breaths.

[“I’m very worried about you. So much so that I want to fully strip you and inspect every inch of you. To see you like this….”]

Yeah... Julius wasn't the only one who had been thinking about, ahem, reconnecting with his other half.

 

Despite his body still being worse for wear at the moment, it wasn't unresponsive to Yukie's touch. It was as though a dormant spark had flared back to life the second Yukie just looked his way.

Between everything that had happened and the toll it had taken on him, Julius hadn't had the time or the energy, to even take care of himself. The only exceptions had been the few heated phone calls with Yukie, where things had gotten a little carried away, but that was as far as he'd gone.

He hadn't been in a mood or felt any needs to otherwise.

Now

Now, however, Yukie was here, slowly kindling a fire inside him that only continued to build, awakening parts of Julius he hadn't felt in months.

"You make it sound like I can't take care of myself," Julius mumbled in soft protest, even as Yukie's gaze devoured him, lingering over every inch of his body as though he were made of gold and diamonds.

Yukie simply tipped his chin up and silenced him with another breathtaking kiss.

The witch's thoughts dissolved instantly. His fingers curled into Yukie's collar, tugging him just a little closer. His heart pounded so hard he could hear it roaring in his ears, and all he wanted was to wrap himself around his mate and never break the kiss.

But sadly or perhaps fortunately, Yukie knew exactly when to pull away, insisting that Julius eat first.

"Don't start something you can't finish, my little devil cake," Julius teased, his voice still rough from the kisses. "I'm not that weak. I can still tackle you and have you groaning beneath me.. or into me" Julius tried to sound cocky, but the growing flush creeping across the tips of his ears betrayed him.

After that comment, he hurriedly stuffed his mouth with food, using it as an excuse to keep himself from saying anything else that might get him into trouble. If Yukie decided to go full demon on him right now, Julius wasn't entirely convinced he wouldn't just pass out.

The meal disappeared surprisingly fast as they both wolfed down their food. Even Julius cleaned his plate without a single complaint. By the end of it, though, he was absolutely stuffed. He couldn't remember the last time he'd eaten such a large meal, but he'd done it for Yukie's sake.

With a small groan, Julius pushed himself to his feet, shuffled over to Yukie, and promptly climbed into his lap.

There was a quiet sort of pride in the gesture, as if he were silently saying, 'See? I ate it all babe. Now praise me.'

He burrowed against Yukie with a contented sigh, nuzzling into him before mumbling "I'm stuffed."

“Yeah it feels surreal. Almost like a dream, for a while I was worried he wouldn’t come back. The world is so new and interesting…I guess I assumed he would stay exploring forever.” Haruhi admitted as he smiled at Yumro gently kissing his mates hand as they relaxed together. A bit later they had moved to their room and began where cozied up together in bed.

”soooooooo…how badly did you tear into father dear for our son coming back as he did? He looked devastated.” Haruhi mentioned bookmarking his book as he adjusted his reading glasses, trying to hide the deep curiosity in his voice at the two being gone so long outside.

————

“Oh, ah no I’m fine…just…” Haru whispered back his voice uneasy as he looked down at the meal before him the same deep feeling of shame and disgust rising up as he closed the box not meeting Shans eyes. Staring at the box Haru just sat in silence struggling to figure out what to say how to find the words…

How would he began to explain all of this…with Yukie it was just an understanding. With others…elders…demons, humans…it had been so hard. Their eyes…well it was unnerving to feel them watching him. Haru knew Shan was kinder…knew he wouldn’t act like the others had…even knowing this thought it didn’t stop his fear of how Shan would react.

”….l-I I’m sorry I couldn’t sleep….I didn’t want to wake anyone so I came down here.” Haru started his voice shaking slightly as he tried to build up his nerve.
While away he had grown into what he was physically…mentally he was still somewhat so unsure and well nervous about all of what he had become.

“….I’m sorry….I…felt uncomfortable…before I left home I couldn’t smell blood…not unless someone was hurt. Now…..sometimes that’s all I can smell, it’s painful…I can’t sleep sometimes…because if it.” Haru whispered his body stiff with unease as he explained his body language showing just how nervous he had been to bring up such a thing to Shan it had been eating him alive.

”I…need blood now like I need air. I-I fucking…eat meat now….because if I don’t I might get careless and hurt someone.” Haru’s voice echoed with an uneasy laugh that was one of fear as he knew he was fully caught. He was foolish to try and hide it…he looked at Shan, not hiding how his face was still covered with blood alongside his hands, blood that dripped on his shirt. 

“…I don’t know….” Haru started as tears burned his eyes as they filled up quickly and slid down his cheeks. Haru rubbed them not caring about the mess he was becoming as his eyes still glowing a deep hungry red watched Shan.

———-

“good, you needed a nice meal my little witch. I’m very very pleased with you.” Yukie whispered as he pulled Julius closer on his lap. Smirking a little he leaned in and nibbled on his lovers neck kissing and marking his mate all over leaving very deep purple hickeys. 

“Mmmh I should reward you.” Yukie groaned as his hand found Julius’s hair, his fingers instinctively moving through the soft locks as he pulled Julius  head back exposing more unmarked flesh.

”we will go out today once you have energy. We will pick out bedding. Towels. And something nice for you to wear tonight. I’ll make a fancy dinner. And then you will be getting a good night rest~ after I enjoy your body.” Yukie explained as he nipped on his lovers ear his breath hot as he released Julius giving him space to protest.

[M-jow]

"Well... as you saw, I didn't punch him." Yumro began with a small huff. "But that was only for Haru's sake. I made sure he knew that."

His gaze drifted down to Haruhi's hand, his expression softening before he continued.

"He said Haru will be able to regrow his arm eventually. That... he's changed. And that we should expect him to keep changing in the future." A faint smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "But he also said he's still our Haru."

Yumro shook his head.

"I'm not worried about him changing. I mean..." He let out a quiet breath. "I've been through that too." His eyes met Haruhi's.

"We both have. We both had to figure out who we were. It's natural." His voice carried a quiet certainty. "Haru's going to be fine. I know he will." A warmer smile finally reached his face.

"Because he has a big family who loves him. Who adores him. No matter what changes." There wasn't a single ounce of doubt in Yumro's words.

After a long moment of silence, his smile faded as he shifted to another subject.

"We also... finally had the conversation we should've had years ago."

He took a long, steady breath, as if preparing himself to relive it.

"About... him and me." His shoulders sagged.

"I said everything I needed him to hear. Everything I'd kept buried for years."

He swallowed.

 

"I told him about the anger. The sadness." His fingers slowly curled into his palm before relaxing again. "How all of it had been trapping me ever since Ren died."

His eyes drifted toward his own hand, opening and closing it absently without realizing he was doing it.

"I told him how he'd failed me..." His voice cracked slightly before he forced himself to continue. "...how he'd failed all of us after Ren was gone."

For a few seconds, Yumro simply stared at his hand.

 

"He told me that after spending time with Haru, he realized just how much he'd missed. How blind he'd been."

"He even said he'd leave if that's what it took to make me happy." Yumro shook his head.

"I told him I haven't forgiven him." He met Haruhi's eyes again. "But if he runs away again... he'll never have the chance to earn that forgiveness. I told him that he is still my dad"

His expression softened.

"And he's still Haru's grandfather."

The silence that followed was calmer than before. Then Yumro remembered something else.

"You already know he was planning to make Haru his heir... right?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "Apparently he's changed his mind."

"He still gave Haru his powers... but not the title."

Yumro looked off into the distance for a moment, clearly still trying to process it himself.

"Yukie still plans to retire." His eyes slowly returned to Haruhi. "But... he asked me to take his place."

Another pause.

 

"If I wanted it." He frowned thoughtfully.

"I honestly don't know if I should."

"I told him I'd talk it over with you first."

A faint, almost amused smile appeared despite everything.

"He said whether I accept it or not won't change what he thinks." Yumro let out a quiet breath through his nose.

"And then..." He gave a small shake of his head. "He actually said maybe demons should start thinking for themselves for once."

 

-------     --------    ----------   --------

Shan wasn't sure what he was supposed to say. His mind was still trying to catch up with everything he'd just learned, but the overwhelming feeling in his chest wasn't fear, it was relief. Haru wasn't hurt.

"Thank God..." Shan let out a quiet breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "I was worried. I mean, not because you left the room. You know you can do that. This is your home too, and all..." His voice trailed off as his eyes drifted to the box sitting nearby.

He could tell Haru was panicking on the inside over what Shan had seen.

 

["I…need blood now like I need air. I-I fucking…eat meat now….because if I don’t I might get careless and hurt someone.”]

Shan gave a slow nod. What else could he do?

He was still trying to process the fact that Haru wasn't a vegetarian anymore. It was honestly a surprise, shocking actually but... when he really thought about it, it wasn't the important part.

If eating meat was what kept Haru from hurting someone... then wasn't that a good thing?

Shan probably wasn't reacting enough. He simply stood there in silence, trying to sort through his thoughts one by one.

Then he noticed Haru's red eyes beginning to glisten.

"Oh!"

 

His body moved before his brain could catch up.

Shan gently reached out and rested a hand on Haru's arm.

"Hey, hey... don't cry." His voice softened immediately. "Haru, you aren't doing anything wrong. It's okay... I was just surprised. I didn't know how to react."

His thumb rubbed slow, comforting circles against Haru's sleeve.

"You're doing this because you're trying to control yourself around other people. You're the one carrying all of this." Shan offered a small, reassuring smile. "And I just walked in while you probably wanted some time alone."

He shook his head. "I don't blame you. Really. It's okay."

Seeing tears spill over made Shan's chest ache.

He quickly grabbed a nearby napkin and, as gently as he could, dabbed beneath Haru's eyes, careful not to fuss too much.

"Don't cry..."

Shan wasn't completely clueless about what Haru was going through.

He had seen Yumro struggle with episodes before. Even now, Yumro still had to hunt from time to time to quiet the bloodlust inside him. If it wasn't managed... things could end badly.

This wasn't something Haru had chosen. It was something he was trying his hardest to live with.

"Do you... want some company?" Shan asked quietly. "Or if you'd rather be alone, I can go." The words hung there.

He genuinely wanted Haru to know he'd respect whatever he needed.

But seeing those watery red eyes made Shan want to stay just a little longer, to make sure Haru was really okay.

"I can't say I know exactly what you're feeling... or what you're going through." Shan gave Haru's shoulder another gentle rub. "But I'm always on your side."

He smiled, small but sincere.

"Changes can be really difficult. Some are harder than others... and they can be scary. But you don't have to go through them alone."

 

---------   -----------  ---------  -------

 

Julius got even more than he'd asked for as Yukie began to devour his neck and throat. He couldn’t see him making the hickeys but he recognised the feeling to know there would be some.

He squirmed in Yukie's lab. "Yukie!" He bite back a quiet moan and tried hard not to let the shivers effect him too much. Although he mostly just wanna to give up and let Yukie do whatever he wanted to him.

 

Julius put his palm up to Yukie’s mouth. Like a barrier between Yukie’s lips and his skin.

"You are gonna make me look like a human chew toy." Julius laughed as he held his hand over the other's mouth.

 

Slowly he lowered his hand from Yukie’s lips and kissed him instead. He wasn’t embarrassed about Yukie marking him. But looking like someone who had fought with an octopus out in public.. that was a little different. Julius could always just wear a turtle neck shirt to cover up, but he had mixed feelings about that too. On the other hand he didn't mind showing off Yukie was his, and Julius was sure Yukie kinda felt the same way.

The kiss Julius lead was slow but passionate. He wasn’t rushing but he also wasn't separating himself from his lover.

Only when their lips slightly parted for air did he speak again.

"Lucky me~ I get the doll treatment, and to taste your cooking twice in one day." Julius breathed steadily against the other's lips as he gazed into his crystal clear eyes.

His free hand roamed up along Yukie’s chest. Occasionally brushing a nippel teasingly.

"...~ngh~ maybe we should just skip the clothes shopping though.. I don't think you can handle me taking my clothes off other than in our bedroom today.. though I might not be able to hold it until tonight" the witch adjusted his hips so both men were sitting in one chair with their fronts flushed to each other.

He pushed his hips into Yukie’s crotch. So the demon could feel just how hard he was for his mate right that minute. Yukie’s fault really, for chewing on his neck.

"I haven't handled this in a while either" he murmured quietly as he slowly grinded himself against Yukie, rubbing against him through their clothes. Small gasps of pleasurable sighs slipped through his lips.

"Ngh~"

The hand that had held onto Yukie’s shoulder slipped down and reached down into the other's pants. His fingers flicked the top button open without looking down or taking his eyes off Yukie. The zipper gave away easily as he reached in. Julius stroke his mate's member but without taking it out.

Julius's own erection was still grinding against him from the other side.

The tip of his cock had found its way up over the edge of his boxers.

Julius looked at Yukie with a smug mischievous smirk. Like a fox in a chicken coop.

"Mind giving me a hand? Or should I just take care of this myself, in the shower?" He dared.
