The new comers sat at their assigned seats and became busy in their own world, without giving a fuck to the teacher, and were even unaware when the teacher went out to attend a call.

Sehun started flirting with Luhan, making the boy blush in a shade to pink, but the deer is still hard to get.

Kai was trying hard to get Kyungsoo's attention but zipped his mouth after receiving a glare from the smaller, and started pouting and sulking.

Tao was busy admiring Kris while the latter was trying hard not to give in and maintain his poker voice.

Xiumin and Chen were the only couple who were flirting freely without a care of the world.

But everyone can feel the tension between Chanyeol and Lay.

Both were glaring at each other, smirking without a conversation which was really creepy for the humans, it's like they can telepath, while Baekhyun and Suho were busy looking back and forth from Chanyeol to Lay, not getting what's going on.

"Hey pretty! How are you?" Lay broke the glaring competition only to start a conversation with Baekhyun before Chanyeol can.

"I am-."

"Hey beautiful! Mind introducing yourself?" Chanyeol butted in.

Lay just rolled his eyes and pretended to puke at this. "Ewww, such an old pick up line."

"As if yours wasn't." Whispered Chen from behind which can be heard by all, making Chanyeol laugh his ass off, getting weird looks from their classmate, while others were trying hard to control themselves and making Lay glared at him again.

"Why? You got a problem with me?" Asked Lay through his gritted teeth.

"No. Sorry, please continue your flirting." Chen replied making his mate Xiumin, chuckle at him.

"That's not flir-."

"Or whatever it is please continue."

Lay just sighed and looked at Chanyeol again who was clutching his stomach, to reduce the pain from laughing so hard and was trying to control his laughter.

"What's so funny?" Lay snapped at him.

"Your own friends embarrassing you. Pfft-."

"Please stop this." Requested Suho.

"Yes, these both are being too much." Frowned Baekhyun, making Lay and Chanyeol shift their attention to him, with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on their faces. "What?" Baekhyun snapped at them.

"Annoying bitches." Glared Kyungsoo.

The three humans made themselves busy again and started reading their books.

"This isn't the end." Whispered Chanyeol to Lay.

"Let's continue later." Lay whispered back.

"Sure." Assured Chanyeol.

During their whole flirting contest, Lay never failed to witness that hurt look on Suho's face, those dark brown orbs which were decorated with jealousy.

He can't deny that he felt guilty.
But what can he do, he can't help it now, can he?

He wants Baekhyun, he needs Baek at any cost, as soon as possible.

He wants to win Baek's heart at any cost. He couldn't control his desire towards the brunette.

He doesn't want to lose the latter to his mate, he needs him and he will make sure that he will be the owning him before Chanyeol can.

He knows that he is hurting his mate. He never wanted Suho to fall for him, atleast not till he solves all his problems.

Even the word 'mate' is like a nightmare to him. He have always hated the idea of being mates.

Kring Kring

The ringing of the bell snapped him out of his trance, signalling that it's already time for lunch.

***

The three humans and the new comers decided to eat together as they got along pretty well.

The ten boys joined tables so that it would make enough space for twelve to sit together then joined the train of students with their grumbling stomach, except Chanyeol and Lay.

They both excused themselves saying that they have something important to discuss, the others were fully aware of what they both are gonna discuss except the humans.

In the classroom

After everyone went out of the class, they both closed the doors of the classroom and faced each other, glaring.

"What do you want Blood Sucker?" Inquired Chanyeol.

"Baekhyun, of course." Lay replied with a mischievous smirk lingering on his lips.

Oh, how Chanyeol wants to punch the living daylight out of him and wipe that smirk off his lips but he hold himself, he wants to know Lay's intension.

"And you have a mate. Why don't you go to your mate and leave my mate alone?"

"It's none of your business, dog." Lay replied back.

"It's totally my business cause you are involving my mate. It's seems that you don't care about your mat-."

"Yes I don't care about my so called mate and I hate the idea of being mates. It's just a burden to me."

Chanyeol looked at him with disbelief. "I knew that Blood Suckers were cold, but you are too much. You are heartless. Someone like you doesn't deserve a mate or any love or affection."

And that's when Lay lost his temper. He grabbed the latter by his collar. "YES I'M COLD AND HEARTLESS. BUT YOU ARE NO ONE TO SHOVE IT DOWN MY THROAT. WHO ARE YOU TO SAY THAT I DON'T DESERVE ANY L-"

But he stopped once he heard someone footsteps, Lay released Chanyeol.
They both composed themselves and went out of the class from the back door without making a noise.

They thought it was a teacher.

But they missed the dark chuckle from that person who have already heard their conversation, a hint of self-satisfied smirk playing accross his full, pink lips.

He wanted to take it slow so that it would be more painful at the end.

"You fools, you are making it easier for me. This is just the beginning." He whispered and went away.

___

After getting their foods they went to sit where the other guys were waiting for them.

The only two chairs left were one beside Baekhyun and the other beside Suho.

But they both went towards the one beside Baekhyun.

"Hey Chanyeol, let me sit here." Lay asked him sweetly.

"Why would I?" Chanyeol asked back.

"Because I reached here first." Replied Lay.

"Ughh they started it again." Whispered Soo to others and they nodded in agreement.

"But I saw it first." Argued Chanyeol.

"I touched it first." Lay insisted.

"I- no nevermind let's ask Baek instead." Chanyeol suggested.

"Ok, hey pretty who do you want to sit beside you?" Asked Lay.

While Baekhyun just gave them a 'I don't give a fuck' look.

"It's me right? Now move." Chanyeol pushed Lay and sat there immediately and gave a sweet smile to Lay.

Lay sighed and went to sit beside Suho. 

Suho was hurt again by looking at his crush fighting with the taller to sit beside Baekhyun but was happy at the same time and thankful to Chanyeol, because of him, he got his crush beside him.

Lay gave him a small smile but Suho ignored him and shifted his attention to his food instead, which made the latter more guilty.

Lay can't deny that his mate smell so good. He breathed the vanilla scent deeply, the heady sensation of being so close to his mate made it difficult for him to control himself.

He swallowed hard, struggling to control the sense of desire bubbling uncontrolled within him, to claim his mate, to mark him, to get a taste of that sweet blood– the sweetest blood he will ever get to taste. It was such a turn on for him but he convinced himself that he wants Baekhyun and that's matter, atleast for now.

But Chanyeol's voice stopped the flow of his thoughts.

"You should eat more, Baekie." Chanyeol cooed and transferred his sangyeopsal to Baekhyun's plate and showed him, his dimpled smile, making the latter's cheeks decorated with a shade of pink.

"Yes Baekie, you should eat more." Lay reached for Chanyeol's plate and transferred more than half of his food to Baekhyun's, getting weird looks from others.

"You should have given him yours Lay." Commented Luhan.

"Why should I? I'm hungry too." Lay replied back frowning.

"That's how people show their affection." Chen replied.

"AHH- THIS IS SO ANNOYING." Kyungsoo banged his hand on the table, glaring at Lay and Chanyeol as he clenched his jaw.

Even if they were supernaturals and much more powerful than a mere human, Kyungsoo, they couldn't deny that his glare was indeed scary. If eyes could kill, they would have been dead by now.

"I lost my appetite." Kyungsoo commented and went away, with Kai following him like a puppy.
"Don't follow me. Fuck off." But Kai just pouted and followed him again.

"Let's leave Daddy." Luhan pulled Sehun with him. "Yes, baby boy."

"This is not my style man." Kris commented and went away, followed by Tao.

"Excuse us, Myeonie let's leave." Baekhyun took Suho with him leaving the two boys alone.

"It's your fault." Chanyeol pouted.

"Eww, don't pout, it's ugly." Lay stuck his tongue out to Chanyeol.

"I'm leaving too. Enjoy your foo- oops I forgot you have nothing left with you." He smirked and ran away.

"Bitch." Chanyeol cursed and went after him.

The day went on but Chanyeol and Lay never stopped bickering, trying hard to impress Baekhyun.

Except Suho, who just ignored his feelings and paid his attention to the class instead, and Kai, who was trying hard to attract his mate's attention to himself.

"I wish to drown in my pain, alone, just like a moth dancing to its death in the flame."
