Sitting Pretty (Ayase/Nix)

[clementine]

Nix stumbled over his boots again as he tottered down the back alleyway. He was drunker than a skunk, having been bar hopping all night. Anything to drown out the visions.

The big man paused, puking violently against the dingy brick wall. The sky was already beginning to lighten and he growled to himself for getting stoned. Again. He should have already killed a certain runaway convict, but the man had eluded him since he had gotten to Earth.

"Shit." Nix snarled, jamming his hands into his coat pockets as he headed for the open streets. Home wasn't too far but he didn't want the planet's authorities stopping him or something stupid like that.

[lacrymosa]

Ayase strolled down the street at a rather fast pace. Clutching his messenger bag, which was white like the rest of his clothes and outfits, to himself like it was some kind of shield made him feel a little more safe on the street at night. He never liked to go out at night alone but this was a special occasion, his cousin was in town and wished to see him. So he had gone to visit him. It seemed Tetsuo was still working his way out of his debt... Which didn't raise happy memories for himself either... Block it.

Ayase stared at his feet as he walked so as to make sure he didn't trip over them, or anything else on the sidewalk for that matter. He was graceful, when he wasn't tripping over himself all of the time. He looked around at some of the people on the street that night. An old blind lady waited for the bus. Some kids were riding their bikes hom to mother he hoped. Some teenagers were loitering against a building. And a group of older men leaned outside of a bar as if looking for trouble. He walked faster...

[clementine]

Those people should have been the least of Ayase's worries, for a man, who was not Nix, extricated himself from the shadows he had been hiding him. His eyes were blood red and he bared sharp fangs. The kid was an easy target.

With ease, the vampire struck out, grabbing the white messenger bag and yanking. He ended up with an armful of kid as he clamped a hand around the delicate mouth. The creature pulled Ayase roughly into an allyway, shoving the slight body up against the nearby fall. Without ever removing his hand, he ranked the kid's head aside, bearing his neck. The vampire licked his lips greedily.

[lacrymosa]

As Ayase very nearly rounded a corner when a hand as big as his face, reached out and grabbed his bag. He gasped when he very nearly fell. And he did. Into the arms of someone he didn't know... He was about ready to cry out when that hand clamped over his smooth feminine lips. Oh God! He was going to die...

He saw the lights getting farther and farther away as he was dragged into the shadows. He tried to struggle and get away. But his efforts were dwarfed by an arm bigger than his chest. He felt a small bar dig into his back when it had contact with the grungy, mildew, alley wall.

Ayase moaned in pain when his head was jerked to one side by this... This... This monster.... "Mmmm......"

[clementine]

To Nix's delighted pleasure, the next alleyway had him staring at the one person he had been searching for. The big male smirked. Damn leech wouldn't know what hit him. Looked like he had caught the guy just in time too. At least the kid wasn't going to die now.

Languidly, Nix sauntered up to the vampire, eyes glinting in the dull light as the scar on his face stood out in sharp relief. "Hidy there." Nix drawled, throwing a protective arm across Ayase's front. He pushed the startled vampire back with inhuman strength, thrusting the small boy behind him.

"Ready to cash in, leech?" Nix snarled, ready to fight. The vampire lunged at him and all hell broke loose as the two big male's fought.

[lacrymosa]

Ayase gasped in ability to breath again. But he soon was sputtering for air on the ground. When the other man pushed him back, he used a little more force than needed and he stumbled hard backwards and tripped over a pipe. He hit the ground in a mud puddle with a loud thud to him. The sound never reached the ears of the others. He breathed heavily as he looked over at the two men that stood there in front of him.

~Wha...What's going on...?~ He began to crawl backwards on his hind quarters too stunned to stand and run... Maybe if he hid behind that dumpster they wouldn't notice....

[clementine]

Nix noticed alright, but he was too busy keeping the snapping fangs from tearing open his juglar. "Bastard!" Nix bellowed, ramming the leech into the opposite wall, the force of it sending cracks to splinter up the bricks.

The fight lasted a few more painful minutes. Even drunk, Nix was the better fighter. In a single motion, he gripped the head of the vampire and twisted until he heard the satisfying snap of death. The body dropped with a loud thud and Nix just laughed.

He was just going to leave, but glanced the kid in white out the corner of his eye. Nix rolled his eyes and turned around, huge and menacing in t he dark shadows. "You can come out now." Nix said, voice still breathless from the fight as he looked behind the dumpster. "He's dead."

[lacrymosa]

'He's Dead' were the last words ayase wanted to hear... Oh God, they fought to the death? What about legal authorities? He was a witness! He had to escape... He had to get away from this... This... This thing!

Covered in muddy water Ayase leapt up and bolted down the alleyway. He very nearly got to the entrance when he slipped and fell hard against the rough, uneven concrete.

His delicate clothes tore as he rolled and scraped himself bloody... His bag fell open and a couple of books fell out with some papers. The papers fell in the dirty water and became ruined... Those were letters his cousin wrote for him before he left again... Now what did he have...? Nothing... He laid there, feeling like he just murdered a cat. His cousin put time and effort into those... And he just let them fall and get ruined... He was caught up with his items so much he barely noticed the dark figure still in the bowels of the alley.

[clementine]

Nix just snorted as he watched the kid run. Did he really think that he could get away that easily? He watched the as the kid tripped, effectively tearing himself up. Nix just side, walking calmly over to the boy. He reached down and gripped the back of the boy's shirt, yanking him upright. God, the kid was light. Nix was forcibly reminded of a drowned cat as he held the boy by the scruff, feet dangling a few inches off the ground.

"Are you alright, runt?" Nix asked. He wasn't particularly worried but asked just the same. "No one is chasing you anymore you know.

[lacrymosa]

He felt himself get gripped by the collar and his blood nearly stopped running. His heart was racing as he was very easily lifted off the ground. His feet dangled as he struggled to try and free himself. His arms were too short though to reach and grab the mans hand that held him... Wait...

Did he really just think hand? No plural? Oh God... He heard the man tell him no one was after him anymore.

"Please.... Please let me down... If no one is chasing me please let me go..." His voice was high like a girl's and his body was as feminine as one... All he wanted was to be left alone. God what did he do to get mixed up in some murder fest? He thought this town was supposed to be good...

"Please... Don't kill me like.... Like you did that other guy...."

[clementine]

Nix easily held the struggling person. He thought person because now he wasn't sure of the gender of the creature he held. Completely ignoring the pleas, he took a free hand, running it down the front of the lithe body curiously. Nix gripped the person's groing, feeling what he was looking for.

"So you are a male." He muttered, then blinked as he shook his head.. "Why the fuck would I kill you?" Nix demanded, shaking the boy a bit now that his curiosity was sated. "Not only would it not be sporting, you're not even worth my time."

With a gentleness that his words didn't belay, Nix set the boy down lightly, even going to brush the dirt off him as best he could. "Kids should be home at this hour." He admonished, still holding the boy but not dangling him anymore.

[lacrymosa]

Ayase still struggled against him.He went stock still when the man ran his hand down his body.... Oh what was he going to do....? He squeaked and turned a bright red when the man grabbed him in his sensitive spot... He jerked himself to the side as the man did that.

"Please don't touch me there...." When the man let him go he brushed him off as he flinched away. Thinking everyone was going to hurt him did that... He bent down and grabbed his ruined books and papers and then spoke back up towards the giant man, like the grope never happened.

"I am not a little boy... I'm 19 years old... And I'm in college... All I was doing was walking hom-" He cut himself off.... It wasn't exactly home... It was simply... A house he lived in...

"I was on my way back to my house...." Ayase's voice was very soft...

[clementine]

This kid, teen, had effectively caught his interest. Rarely anything caught Nix's interest so he thought that this needed some further investigation. "You sure look little to me." Nix quipped. "And what were you doing at school so late at night?" He asked, clearly waiting for an answer. He crossed his arms looking a little surly.

Something was definitely wrong here. However, he saw nothing on the boy and that irked him. Usually reading futures was easily. "I'll take you home." Nix announced. "Where do you live." There was no room for argument.

[lacrymosa]

He was shocked and flinched at how harshly the man asked the question. God he was.... Demanding... He wasn't at school... He went to see his cousin...

"I... I wasn't at school... I went to see.... Family..." His last word came out rather sad and pathetically... He looked down at his feet. The bigger man made him jump when he suddenly boomed out with his descision to take him home... He made a motion as if to protest, but the man's personna told him otherwise to not ask questions, or protest... Ayase simply nodded and gripped his bag to his side in a death grip...

"Okay..." Was the only word to come out of his soft cut lips.

[clementine]

"Hey, now." Came Nix's rough voice as he patted the top of the boy's head with a big hand. "Although I'm coming with you, you could protest. I won't kill yah for that." He grinned though it looked at little maniacal.

Sighing gustily, Nix took the boy's bag easily from the death grip. He held that in one hand and gripped the kids arm in the other. Nix steered the light body out of the dark alleyway and back to the lit street. "Which way you live kid?"
