Kiki strode through the grounds, at night once again. She arrived at the edge of the Quidditch Pitch and walked into the bottom of the stands bearing the Magical Horizons emblem, reserved for teachers and guests. She arrived at the top and decided to take a seat at the back, the most comfortable chairs were there, the whole row nicely cushioned.
She sat in the shadows, the moonlight not touching her skin or cloak, blending into the shadows, the darkness welcoming her, embracing her.
The only light that was to be seen was the silver bracelet about her wrist, the engravings upon it glowing a fierce green in the moonlight tickling through a hole in the roof.

Ace had been stood outside the Vampires' Lair for about half an hour, still reeling from his intense conversation with the Vampire Queen.
A warm night breeze passed him by, and upon it he caught the scent of her - a scent tainted only by the loneliness it carried with it. Without a word or smile, Ace began to walk steadily in the direction of the breeze; and as he came closer to the Quidditch Pitch, his senses really kicked in and he knew exactly where she was without any other signal.
Stopping just outside the Quidditch Pitch, he wondered why she had picked there, of all places, to go today. He bent down and plucked a solitary white rose from the ground. Inhaling it's incense, he smiled softly as a thought occurred to him, and he entered the side-room where the players changed before their matches. Taking a small key off a chain full of them, he unlocked the broom closet and took out the broomstick that had been especially enchanted for him so that he could fly for Hufflepuff during the Quidditch season.
He walked out to the Pitch, and as he reached the sidelines, he put the rose in his mouth, threw his leg over the broom and kicked off the ground, feeling the wind rush against his face and messing up his hair as he zoomed upwards, towards the Top Box.
He stopped abruptly, level with the Box, and his green eyes twinkled at the sight of Kiki as he took the rose from his mouth and offered it with a lopsided smile.
"Happy Birthday, love," he grinned.

Kiki's eyes rose to meet Ace's evenly, then slid across the chairs to lean against the edge of the stand.
"I believe that statement applies to you also," A smile played across her lips but her eyes did not. She accepted the rose, it turning a deep purple at her touch, the edges however still tainted white. She tapped the stem with her wand and the thorns disappeared, and she tucked the flower behind her ear.
"Have any plans for this evening, my dear Acerbus?" She enquired, brushing a strand of hair off his forehead.

Ace smiled warmly at Kiki, still amazed at how much she could make him feel with the smallest touch. Clambering into the Top Box at last, he turned to wrap his arms around the birthday girl and kissed her gently on the top of her head.
"Well..." he murmured, "I was hoping to spend it with you, my dear... but if you have other plans I can just... fly away again."
His eyes twinkled playfully.

Kiki leaned forward and kissed him softly. Gently, teasingly.
"I think I may be able to find room in my terribly busy schedule to spend some time with you," She mumured into his ear.

"Busy, are we?" laughed Ace softly, as he kissed her again, first on the forehead, then her cheek, then her neck several times before slowly making his way to her lips, kissing her so gently it almost felt like no more than a gentle breeze.
He regarded her closely with a lingering smile on his face. "So... what else have you been doing today? Been celebrating much?" he enquired with a quick raise of his eyebrow.

Kiki laughed dryily.
"Who's to celebrate with me? Everyone of importance was either sleeping," She kissed his fingers softly, "or held up by business."

Ace smiled as if satisfied in the knowledge that he was the only person she would spend her birthday with, and tenderly tucked some of her long dark hair behind her ear, leaving her neck completely exposed. An illicit thrill shot through him, as it always did when he saw her neck so willingly and trustingly exposed, and his eyes danced with the moonlight as he looked back into Kiki's darkened violet gaze.
"Have I ever told you how fabulously delicious you are, my dear?" he said as he leant down to place another kiss on her now exposed neck.

"I'm fairly sure that would have stayed in my memory if you had," Kiki replied, slipping her hands underneath his shirt to gently carress his back.
"Although you do show it well," She murmured.

Ace smirked. "I do, do I?"
Chuckling softly, he leaned in to kiss her deeply, his body awakening to the sensations Kiki was sending through every inch of his body, and he tightened his hold on her as they kissed passionately, almost as though something terrible would happen if they dared to stop.
Finally, Ace pulled away from her and grinned wickedly. Lifting her up, he allowed her to wrap her legs around his body, and her arms around his neck, and they let themselves go once more into lust-filled kisses and embraces. Pushing her gently up against the wall, Ace gently let one of his fangs trace down the side of her cheek, causing a single trickle of blood to roll slowly, steadily down her face like a crimson tear, before Ace willingly traced his tongue over it, savouring the taste as he let out a soft moan of longing.
No matter how many hundreds of years he lived, he would definitely always remember this birthday.

Kiki gasped as Ace cut her cheek then in a moment of fear, pushed him off her. She tucked her knees to her chest and touched the cut gently, taking some of the blood from it.
She didn't look at him. She couldn't. She could scarcely believe that she'd shown even a moment of weakness.
She waited for his reaction.

Ace's gaze hardened as she pushed him off.
"Excuse me, love," he said, his voice as sharp as the edge of a guillotine blade, "- but would you mind telling me what that was about?" He took a step towards her, a dangerous look in his eyes. "What, d'ya think I was going to hurt you? Is that what you think?" His voice dropped to a harsh, biting whisper as he stared at Kiki, waiting for her answer.

Kiki flinched as he glared at her, his piercing green eyes demanding an answer from her.
"You unnerved me is all," She whispered, uncurling herself and sitting up properly, her usual strength of character slowly returning.
She shook her hair behind her shoulders again and met his gaze squarely, her face expressionless.

Ace's eyes remained strangely glazed, and the corner of his mouth pulled up into a semi-sneer. He could feel the strength of the Vampire he used to be come back into him, and he gazed with contempt at the Head Girl of the School, finally unblinkered enough to see, to know, what was going on.
Without saying a word, he grabbed her wrist and brought it up to his eye-level, inspecting the silver bracelet that sat there, winking in the glare of the stadium lights, mocking Ace.
"An interesting piece of jewellery, love," he said, noticing with satisfaction that his voice stiil seethed with venom. "Tell me where you got it or you'll lose an arm." Twisting her arm slightly, viciously, he grinned manically, glad to finally be in control.

Kiki winced in pain. His grip was firm and strong and she couldn't have gotten out of it if she'd tried.
"Family heirloom," She whispered.
