Chapter Text
Mahiru and Kuro were connected. Connected by a contract, and by a chain. Now, their feelings brought the two even closer together. It hadn't been too long ago that Mahiru decided to confess his feelings for Kuro. Somehow, it worked out, and Kuro admitted he felt the same way. Things had been peaceful since then, the pair making small steps to each other. They were both new to the whole ''relationship'' concept, but it worked out just fine.
One snowy day, Mahiru had already woken up, busy making breakfast. Kuro was sleeping in human form, laying on the brunet's bed. He was already used to sleeping together, enjoying the warmth and how Mahiru would cuddle close for warmth at night. The blue-haired Servamp started stirring after hearing his Eve busy in the kitchen, his eyes fluttering open.
Yawning, Kuro rubbed his head sleepily and sat up. He shivered when he felt the cold air, pulling the blankets up higher. At that moment, Mahiru came walking in, wearing a surprised smile at seeing his Servamp awake. ''You're awake already?''
The vampire showed a small nod, looking lightly surprised as well. ''It's cold... too cold for a delicate vampire like me.''
Mahiru couldn't help but laugh at Kuro's whining, putting down the two plates of freshly made breakfast.

After having eaten breakfast, the brunet left to clean up the kitchen as Kuro got dressed in some warm clothes. He didn't take long to finish and walked to the living room, his golden bell jingling, which made Mahiru look up. ''Do you wanna do anything today, Kuro?''
''Nahh, too cold,'' Kuro replied in his usual lazy tone.
''Not unexpected.'' Mahiru rolled his eyes with a chuckle and settled on the couch, patting the spot next to him. The Servamp understood and sat down next to him, scooting closer and slowly leaning against him.
Mahiru heaved a deep sigh of contentment, turning on the tv. ''It sure is cold today... make sure to stay warm, Kuro.''
''I'm a vampire. I'm im-''
''Immortal, I know. But you have to take care of yourself!'' Mahiru said in his familiar motherly tone, looking stubborn.
The cat just gave him a long ''meow'', before relaxing against him again as he watched the screen.

The day passed peacefully like that. The pair watched tv together, small gestures of love taking place. They held hands, wrapped themselves in some fluffy blanket Mahiru got for them, and even took a short nap to pass time, the two leaning against each other lovingly. Evening soon came, Kuro announcing that he would take a shower while Mahiru prepared food. The Servamp soon returned with a towel over his wet hair, wearing his pyjamas. His Eve took in the sight, smiling softly at the other.
''I've made some ramen myself, I hope you like it.'' He handed Kuro his bowl, sitting on the couch.
''Thanks...'' Kuro was grateful for Mahiru, not exactly showing it, though. He once again leaned against Mahiru with his knees pulled up, sipping from his food.
The brunet was fully at ease like that, until Kuro suddenly spoke up.
''Y'know, you're really weird...''
''Weird? Why's that?'' Mahiru looked at him with his brown eyes, his expression hinting curiosity and care.
''Just... you never judged me, even after finding out what I did. You're taking care of me, worrying about me, and being open to me... you're the first person who ever loved me.'' Kuro muttered the last part, looking away with a soft blush spreading on his cheeks. He wasn't good with feelings, especially not when it involved romance.
His Eve was pretty taken back, finding it unusual for Kuro to speak up so suddenly. He let a soft sigh slip from his throat, pulling Kuro in a caring hug as he put their bowls away.
''It's natural, Kuro... I'd never judge you on your past actions, because I know you have a good heart!'' Mahiru showed a stubborn, yet caring look at his Servamp, who was looking at his Eve with slightly widened eyes. ''I do all those things because I love you, Kuro... it's the simplest way to express it!''
The blue-haired vampire stayed quiet for a short moment, thinking for a while. He eventually heaved a deep sigh, slowly wrapping his arms around Mahiru.
''T-Thanks... Mahiru.'' The small blush hadn't left his cheeks, and Mahiru actually found it cute. Smiling softly at his Servamp, he stood up, pulling Kuro along. ''Let's go to bed. I... want to show you something."
With that, Mahiru went to his bedroom, Kuro following closely behind, completely clueless to Mahiru's plans.
