[story_lottery FIC] "Yami no Matsuei" -- "Heat of the Day" (PG-1

I actually have a fic journal (which I'll unveil when I've finished archiving a bunch of older stories onto), but I imagine it must look like this journal is turning into one. Still typing up a lot of stuff that's gathering dust in notebooks and journals. Not much to report on Real Life, other than I've been shoveling snow and taking down Christmas decorations.

And so, on this cold and slushy day, enjoy a summer story featuring a younger Oriya and Muraki

A/N: I have long held the theory that Muraki and Oriya are lovers (or at least sex-buddies, with Oriya serving as Muraki's donor once his vampirism started to become more obvious), though I have a feeling Oriya is essentially straight, he just made an exception for his best friend...
