Vampire eyes had a very distinct color when it came to royalty. They would turn a very vibrant red, a shade that would easily shine in the dark. That meant that everyone who was around, observing the fight that was about to take place, had realized that Kai was not just some random vampire. He was one of the big shots and immediately the crowd started to remove itself, getting as further away as they could but still wanting to see how things would evolve they stuck around, just in a safer distance.
It didn't take long for someone who was at the edge to lose it. Kai's mentality was already hanging by a thread, his thoughts a mess. The last thing he needed was some drunk jerk up his face trying to sound tough. The moment he heard him swear he flipped and grabbed him, in serious need to smack his face on the wall and that was exactly what he did. Raising him in the air as if he was a feather, the vampire brought the drunk werewolf to the wall and smacked his head with force, opening a whole where he left him. The man instantly fell unconscious but Kai hadn't realized it.
He pulled him out of the hole and threw him to the ground, kicking him, filled with anger. A few people attempted to stop him. Grabbing him but the arms, wanting to restrain him somehow but nothing seemed to work. Soon they too were involved in a one sided fight against him.
As it was natural many hot-blooded creatures took the chance to start a bigger mess. After a few minutes the whole club looked completely horrible. Ripped couches, broken chairs and shattered bottles flying here and there. In the middle stood Kai, fighting whoever dared to approach him while many fought with the person right next to them.
He felt as if he was on fire, his anger rising more and more while his thoughts were devouring him in the most horrible way. Everything was going wrong. The pain he had endured for so long had decided to become even more intense and eat him alive. He couldn't keep it inside him any longer. This horrible burden.
His knuckles were bloody, healing and reopening with every punch while tears were gathering on his blue eyes. He didn't see faces, he didn't see them as people. He simply saw his demons in them and was punching them like his life was depending on it. At some point someone threw him to the ground, his lips were ripped and he tasted his own blood. Kai searched for the one who punched him so hard that he landed on the floor.
A tall figure appeared in front of him, a broad chest and a face filled with shadows. He grabbed Kai and raised him up, taking him in his arms and while pushing away the fighting he took him to the back of the club. They got out from a small door, finding themselves in an alley, hidden from everyone's eyes. Only a lamp, tall with a deathly yellow color shone above their heads, casting some light to their sweaty faces.
Kai hadn't put up a fight because he recognized him. From the second he stood before him just by the shape of his figure he knew it was him. Philip had taken him in his arms without saying a word and had led him away. Once again he was the one who brought him back, separating him from the torture his demons caused.
He had been worried about him, on and on. Wondering what would happen. Worrying about his feelings that he wouldn't be able to hide soon. All these depressing thoughts were haunting his mind, they were strong, imprisoning him so why was it so easy for him, just with a simple touch to make everything disappear.n
Philip's low steps, his body acting like a shield through the crowd and his eyes, dark staring at him with an indescribable expression, made Kai relax. He didn't want to but his embrace had always been a shelter. Even after all these years Kai still recognized it, his body remembered and no matter how hard he tried to deny it his feelings were still there, igniting like a small spark with every touch.
The werewolf stood still for a while, holding him yet before he brutally dropped him to the ground, shattering Kai's day dreaming. The vampire landed on the cold and humid road, a frown on his face as he raised his head to look at him.
"Once a jerk, always a jerk" Kai commented and Philip grinned.
"I took you away didn't I? It wouldn't take long before all of them turned on you." He told him and the prince scoffed.
"Do you expect me to thank you?"
"That's the least you could do, isn't it or is it that princes don't say sorry? It's against protocol?" He teased him as Kai attempted to stand up. His body felt weak since he didn't feed so often. After the fight he was even more tired. He stumbled, his feet playing sneaky tricks on him but Philip caught him, helping him stand straight. The blond man looked at him from a second, a warmth spreading in his chest and Philip stopped breathing.
The so-called prince before him had such beautiful eyes. Blue, clear like the endless sky with a few tones of green in them, mixing so well together they created such a unique color. His heart skipped a beat, being so close to his beautiful face but he didn't look away. He couldn't, as if he was charmed he hungrily kept staring at him. His plump lips, his pale skin and that small cut on the corner that was slowly healing. A trail of his own blood on his chin.
Without realizing Philip raised his arm and with his thumb wiped the blood away. Kai's eyes widened as he felt his hot skin touch his and he took in a sharp breath.
Would it be too much if he asked for time to stop now? Just so he could still keep feeling his touch, so they could remain connected under the dim light of the yellow lamp, in the narrow alley while everyone else was fighting inside. Right now they were alone, no one else in the world and Kai wished he could keep looking at him. That expression on his face, the one that showed he realized his attraction. Philip's eyes were obvious, he found him captivating.
Noticing what he had done the wolf pushed down his hand, willing the blood on his pants and Kai coughed awkwardly.
"Thanks" the vampire said.
"No problem. Just don't ruin my date another time please." The wolf said and like before when he threw him to the road he completely destroyed the mood with just one sentence. Kai frowned.
"I don't think it was anything special to be honest." He commented and Philip raised an eyebrow. He took a step back, supporting himself on the wall before he took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it up, shielding the flame of his light from the nightst breeze and smiled while his lips touched the little cancer stick.
"Doesn't matter. Sooner or later I will find my mate and this will be over." He told him. Kai didn't know how he should respond to that. He felt a pinch on his chest, as if someone was prickling him with needles. He looked down, avoiding his eyes before he spoke.
"Do you want to find your mate that much?" He asked.
"Of course I do. It's that one epic love that lasts through the centuries. It's beautiful and sacred." He said and Kai smiled faintly, surprised by his answer.
"I didn't have you for a hopeless romantic."
"I am not. But for them I think I could be anything. But until that time comes I am still having fun" He told him with a cheeky smile and winked.
Kai could see it. Even if he didn't want to, he was able to see part of the man he loved in him. The little wink filled with charm. The willingness to give everything to the one he loved. He didn't like him because he was a vampire, he wasn't showing him himself because he didn't want to and that hurt.
"Why did you help me? I thought you didn't like vampires." Kai asked. Philip shrugged his shoulders, realizing a grey cloud of smoke from his pink lips.
"I don't know. You looked as if you were in pain and I…" he began saying but he stopped. "I don't know" he repeated taking back everything he was intending to say. "Gotta go. Have a girl waiting for me back there." He said and moved towards the door.
Don't leave, Kai begged in his mind. Just a little longer. Smile for me just for a moment. He begged but no one heard him. Because it wasn't him that was talking but his heart. It was an honest plea, a cry for help but it never reached Philip because Kai buried that voice like he buried his love.
Still his body seemed to disobey him. He extended his arm and grabbed his wrist, stopping him. Philip turned around, questioning Kai's move.
"What is it?" Philip asked him and Kai flinched.
What was he intending to do? Ask him to stay? For what reason?
"Don't be a jerk to her like you are with me" he thought of a last minute tease and Philip smiled.
"Nope. I am saving this special treatment just for you" he teased him back before he opened the door and disappeared into the darkness of the club.
Kai stood there, outside, not affected by the cold and stared at the metallic door. He could still feel the sensation of their touch. The warmth on his fingertips. He was leaving to be with some other girl, you don't matter. The demons in his mind screamed, coming back the moment he was lost.
"Why do I have to bear so many curses?" Kai mumbled as he turned his back to the door and walked towards the main road.
A curse on his blood, a curse on his truth and a curse on his heart the vampire prince was simply existing to be in pain. Only one person could soothe his scars and even him seemed to be turning into a distant dream.
