My Vampire

Rumor

Yuki replies.

“Yeah.”

I put a band-aid over it.

“That's why it tasted soooooo good. I didn't know you were the owner of such rare and precious blood. I'm surprised."

“I’m surprised, too. It feels amazing to have your blood sucked. I thought it would hurt because of the bite.”

“I told you. It's as dangerous as a drug.”

"... Hey, Marc…, have you ever bitten anyone other than me since you came to Japan?”

"... Well, yes. Yes, I have.”

"Just biting?”

“...! Isn't that obvious? What are you talking about?"

“Marc, you must have been excited.”

"... I got excited because it's Yuki. What are you making me say!"

Yuki laughs softly, am I being made fun of…?

“I'm going to work today. It's going to be a busy day.”

We eat breakfast and go to work together. Yuki's working at her clinic today. I examine patients as usual. When there's a short pause and the patient queue is cut off, the nurse says to me,

“Doctor!”

She pats me on the back.

?

“You're looking good today! By the looks of it, you must have made up with your sweetheart. Congratulations."

She looks at me with a big smile.

“You guys are as sharp as ever.”

“You're the object of every single woman's affection. We have want to know.”

“I won't tell you because it's personal information.”

“I understand. But Dr. Marc is the type of person who can't hide things, so I'm sure you'll come clean sooner or later.”

"I can't beat the nurses here.”

They're too good...

♢♢♢

At Yuki's clinic.

The nurses, Mana and Mika, are furiously approaching Yuki, and their faces are frightening.

“Director! I bet you found a guy and are having a good time with him right now, right?!”

Mana, one of the two nurses, asks.

“Oh, what are you talking about?”

Yuki brushes it off.

The other nurse, Mika, also gets on Yuki's nerves.

She says, "Well your skin is glowing, and most importantly, look at that bandage! That's definitely to cover up the hickey, right?"

Then the two nurses approach Yuki.

“ Who are you with? I'm surprised that anyone would take such a jaded horse for their own."

"I think that’s a little too much... you guys are..."

“I'll tell you in time. Just wait a little longer.”

She replies with a smile.

“It's not fair! One of us can't just luck out! If this happens, I'm going to go on a bunch of blind dates!”

Mana says with a snort. Hearing this, Mika also adds.

“I want to find a good guy and make love too!”

Seeing this, Rico, the receptionist, lets out a sigh.

“What are you competing with each other for? Isn't this a matter of fate?"

Hmph!　

And the nurse team looks at Rico.

"Could it be…! Rico. You too..."

“Yes! I have a boyfriend! He’s a guy who majored in the same department in college as me. He managed a bar where I went for drinks with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. And then things got exciting... and we started going out."

She says with a blush on her cheeks and a grin.

“You beat me to it..."

They both drop their shoulders in disappointment.

“Oh well. Nurses are very popular, so don’t worry. It's fine. I'm sure you'll find a good person sooner or later. Hey!”

The two stand there, not replying to Yuki's words. They are staring at each other's faces.

“I'm definitely going to find a good partner first!"

That's what my heart tells me.

Yuki thought.
