Diabolik Lovers: Recovery

Chapter 17: Back to Normal... (All)

School seemed like a mundane thing after all that had happened, but still, I felt the need to maintain some sort of semblance of normalcy. Reiji had already risen and was watching me stir; his face was torn between waking me for the day and letting me sleep, but the decision had been made for him. Ayato breathed into my ear, his head so close to mine that his red hair brushed my forehead. What disturbed me was the fact that I could feel warm breath between my thighs as well. Whether consciously or unconsciously, Laito had nuzzled his way up my nightie.

I worked on Subaru first, running my fingers through his hair and crooning his name until he began to stir. Then I tilted my head up and did the same for Ayato; he growled in response to me as Subaru sat upright and stretched. Reiji grasped my arm running his fingers the length of it from elbow to wrist then sunk his teeth in. With my free hand I began to rouse Kanato, massaging his scalp soothingly until he let out a mewl and rolled over.

"It's early," he complained.

"It's just as early as we wake up any other day," I pointed out gently.

Ayato let out a husky groan and wiggled closer until his lips were pressed under my ear then bit down.

"Laito," with my free hand, I pushed his head gently away from... well... and tugged gently on his hair. "Laito wake up."

"What, Little Beauty?" he groaned, raising his green eyes to look up at me. "Oh my..."

A flush of excitement crept into his cheeks as he saw where he was and the multiple vampires already feeding on me. Without hesitation, he crooked his head and bit down on my thigh. Small pinpricks of pain pulsed from each point that the vampires fed upon. Another prick; Kanato had bitten down on my shoulder. Another prick; Subaru bit just above my breast. Only Shuu, who still seemed to be asleep, wasn't drinking, but his nose twitched at the scent of blood. He rolled over lazily and grasped my ankle, hiking it up to a better angle and sinking his teeth into it.

"Feeding frenzy?" I wondered aloud.

"No, you have yet to see that," Reiji muttered against my wrist. "That is a terrifying thing for a human to behold."

"She won't see that," Subaru insisted, licking his lips.

"I wouldn't be so sure," Laito murmured, lifting his head from my thigh. "All woman are subject to the same torture each month; Miyako is no different."

"We will control ourselves."

"I'll admit that's a difficult thing," Reiji said, pulling his face away from my arm and letting the blood dribble down to my elbow.

"It's going to happen soon," Laito warned, inhaling deeply from where he was positioned between my thighs.

"Okay!" I yelped, struggling slightly. "That's enough, Laito!"

Ayato's teeth unhinged from my neck.

"Oi, lie still! Your blood doesn't taste as good when you struggle."

"It doesn't, does it," Reiji said mildly, rubbing his tongue along my arm to clean up the bloody residue. "Strange."

"Miyako is Miyako," Laito chuckled. "But I agree with Subaru – she might not withstand a feeding frenzy."

Silence except for Kanato's suckling settled over the room as each vampire turned his attention to Reiji. The most logical of the brothers straightened his glasses and firmly clasped the prick marks on my wrist with his hand.

"I need a detailed history of your menstrual cycle, Miyako," he said, his eyes upon me.

I squirmed uncomfortably.
