It didn't matter for Laito if he was kneeling down in front of his father and your mother. His father was screaming at him yet he wasn't paying attention. He was looking at you with tears flowing down your face. You couldn't look up and face your mom. It was a rash decision.
"Do you understand Laito?"
Laito glared at him and gritted his teeth. "No father. I think what you're doing is wrong. You have three wives yet you want more. What is wrong with you? Haven't you had enough? Is three not enough for you? What are you going to do with (First Name)'s mother? You're just going to fuck her and leave her like how you left my mom!"
A slap was thrown to Laito. Blood was dripping from his mouth and onto the floor. "Shut up. You think you're so smart that you run your mouth with so much nonsense. I guess I haven't raised you properly. You are going to be stripped away from the title of chief executive officer."
This position held so much for Laito. He worked hard to reach the top only for it to ne stripped away. "Fine." Laito stood up and grabbed your hand, making you stand with him. He brings you along with him, leaving the area. He didn't want to stay with his father any longer. It made his blood boil.
"What are we going to do now Laito?" You ask him, worried about his future. Laito kneels on his knees and takes your hands in his. "Even if I don't have any money now, I promise you. I will earn them on my own. I will support us. So may I have the honors of you marrying me?" He takes out a red velvet box from his pocket. He opens it to reveal a/an (Favorite Gem) ring. You nodded and he placed the ring onto your right ring finger. "It's a promise." You both lock your pinkies together before sharing a chaste kiss.
A few months later, you worked your way through (Favorite Hobby). You sold a lot of items and a lot of people loved it. Laito, on the other hand, was kind of struggling. As much as he applied to a lot of companies, none of them were willing to accept him because his father put on a notice that no one should accept him or else their company would suffer. The only work that Laito could find was being a delivery man. He would always wake up early and leave for work and come back late in the evening. Although he doesn't earn much, he still felt happy in doing his work and that took a toll on him.
One would say vampires get stronger as they age. Well, it's true but for Laito's case, it was the opposite. He was only getting weaker and weaker. Although you fed him blood daily, he didn't want to take too much or you wouldn't be able to recover from too much blood loss.
One day, he came home early since he took a day off. He wanted to spend your first anniversary together with you. He prepared and waited for this moment. He wanted it to be perfect. A romantic candle lit dinner which lead to your first experience. Laito plants a kiss onto your forehead, cheek and jaws before planting one onto your lips. "Thank you for being with me." Laito whispers, tracing his thumb over your lips. "I'm grateful for you Laito and for everything you've done. I just wish you wouldn't overwork yourself."
He sighs and simpers. "I'm not doing this for you or me. I'm doing this for the both of us, okay?"
"I know but you need to take care of yourself as well."
"I am."
"You're not. Look at the state you're in!"
"It's alright. I'll live through it. Vampires won't die."
"Here."
You pull your shirt off, exposing your top to him. "Take my blood." And Laito did albeit a small amount. "Why don't you take some more?" Laito shakes his head no. "It's enough." He leans his head onto your shoulders, giving a kiss onto the wound. "I love you." He whispers, enclosing your body into his embrace. "I love you too Laito."
Silence fills the air until you broke it by asking Laito a question. "Say Laito, I have request for you. Are you up for it?" Laito hums in response. "Stay by my side forever." Laito gives a reassuring weak squeeze on your hand. "Okay Laito?" A few seconds passed and no response from him was emitted.
