[Third Person POV]
Ciel was hesitating to enter Ryujin's room. Yesterday,after seeing Ryujin leave like that made her heart heavy.
Ciel opened Ryujin's door. Ryujin didn't lock his door at this time as he knew Ciel would come.
Ciel could see Ryujin typing something on his laptop. He was wearing simple blue light glasses.
'He reminds me of my father a bit.'
Ryujin noticed Ciel. He took of his glasses and put his laptop on his table. Ryujin exposed his neck to Ciel.
It was a sign to Ciel that she could start but Ciel didn't jump to the action today.
She sat next to Ryujin.
"Won't it be harder for you to drink my blood in this angle?"
Ciel slolwy moved her hand towards Ryujin's neck.
' I don't want our relation to be like this. I am feeling new emotions when I am near you. Even when I try yo deny it,the emotions flood my mind. Now that I am a half-vampire, when I suck your blood, I feel a new connection with you. A bond that cannot be created again with someone else . It has to be only you.'
'I like you.'
Ciel wanted to say those stuff but she could only bury them in her thoughts. She didn't want to lose Ryujin. When she saw Ryujin with Clara, she feared Ryujin would never look at her again.
" Ryujin can I grab your hands ?"
" If it helps you angle yourself than you can."
Ciel felt a bit sad. The conversation between them nowadays was always about this stuff.
"I don't want to drink your blood now. I just want to-."
Ciel didn't complete her sentence. She grabbed Ryujin's hand and laid her head on Ryujin's shoulder.
'I can't understand what she is trying to do.'
Ryujin couldn't comprehend Ciel's behaviour. To him she was a friend. Not as close as Adam but still she told him her secret and he wanted to respect her choice.
Ciel slowly moved her fingers and interwined it with Ryujin's.
"Ryujin. If you hate this you can move."
Ryujin didn't move. Instead he moved his other hand and slowly carrased Ciel's head.
His gesture made Ciel happy. She slowly started to sink on Ryujin's shoulder.
"I was jealous when you talked with that girl. I thought you would never look at me again. I know you wouldn't do that but.. I don't know why my emotions got over me."
Ryujin didn't reply to her. He wanted her to say everything she had locked in her heart.
"What else Ciel? Tell me."
"I miss mom. She holded me like this. I wanted to relieve that moment again and you gave it to me. When I saw you walk away from the cafeteria,it was as if I was again at my mothers funeral. I lost someone dear to me and that still hurts me till this day. I don't want you to leave me as well."
Ryujin could understand where Ciel was coming from. Losing someone dear to them is not a easy thing to cope with.
" Ciel, my grandfather was my role model. He taught me many things that I am still grateful for and will be. I will never forget him. His death hurt me deep. It left a wound in my heart. People said that the wound will heal with time. The wound never healed."
Ciel was taken back. She had never guessed Ryuin to open up to her.
"Do you still miss him?"
"Yes! But I don't grieve of his death anymore. He used to tell me : The best way to deal with something is to know the truth about it. He was gone and that was truth which I had to accept. I acted as if I was fine. I acted as if I had got over his death but the pain got worse but the moment I accepted that I still missed him,I was free from the pain. Fighting your destiny is a good choice but ignoring to see the truth in yourself makes you feel suffocated.
Ryujin pulled his hand away from Ciel's hand . He pulled Ciel closer to his chest.
" Its fine if you can't find peace in your self. Its fine if you can't forget about her for the rest of your life. You are strong Ciel but at any time you feel weak, I will always give you my hand to hold on and my chest to cry on."
Ciel cried hearing Ryujin. She hugged him back.
"I miss her. I miss her so much. Why did she leave me? All i wanted was a happy family. That was all I wanted."
Ryujin slolwy pulled head towards his neck. Ciel dug her tooth and drank his blood.
'I like it.I like everything about this moment. To me you are precious Ryujin and I am never letting you go.'
Ciel let her emotions flow and Ryujin didn't complain. He assured her and it made Ciel fall for him even more.
'I like everything about you Ryujin. I really do.'

It had been a while since their heartwarming session. Ryujin was cooking while Ciel was playing with Chip.
"Ryujin. Do you think I am a crybaby?"
Ciel had never cried this much in her life. The last time she cried was when her mother died.
Ryujin made her cry even more but those tears made her heart feel light. Her whole misery was off her shoulder.
"Maybe you are a crybaby but the fact that you can cry infront of me makes me happy."
Ciel didn't understand the sentence.
"Me crying makes you happy."
"No not like that. I am not a sadist..I think. I meant to say that when a person cries infront of other it means that they trust them. I am happy that you trust me."
Ciel trusted Ryujin. More than she had faith in herself. Just in a month he made her whole upside down.
"Ciel have you felt in danger when you are near to someone in the academy?"
Ciel wanted to ask him why he wanted to know but she didn't.
"No but I do feel someone staring at me. People stare at me a lot but that person gaze just feel dangerous. However,I don't know who that person is."
'Hmm. So the Oppressors are here for Ciel.'
Ryujin hypothesis was slowly coming true.
'I didn't think it would be that person though.'
Ryujin bought two plates at the table. Each plate had some toasts salads and eggs. Ciel was ready to eat but she noticed Ryujin staring at her.
'Is there blood somewhere on my face?'
"What is the matter Ryujin?"
Ryujin shook his head.
"Sorry for staring but I am worried about you. Everybody is after you. I don't want anything bad happen to you."
Ciel blushed slightly.
'Aww! He was worried about me.'
"Don't worry Ryujin. I am fine and I will not let anything happen to me."
Ryujin gave her a small smile and started eating.

A week went by and it had already been a month since Ryujin joined the academy. Lot of things had happened. Many considered Ryujin as a monster. Some respected his strength and the people close go him loved him.
Ryujin for a fact relaized that a Oppressor was
hiding thier identity either as a student or a teacher. Ryujin was 70% sure who that person was but he didn't act.
"They might attack today."
Ryujin looked at the clock in his living room.
His body was slowly shaking from excitment.
Ryujin liked the smell of fresh blood and he never let a chance go when he could spill some blood.
' I will make sure to cut both of you arms and legs and have your head beneath my feet.'
