I agree. The first story needs a follow up. Why does the uke still seem in the dark about his "man-eating" lover? How do the sensei and seme know each other so well? Are there other "man-eaters" out there (female - I smell a great story conflict there)? All this in addition to your comments. Too many unanswered questions and un-reached potential.
I think I'd be okay with a "man-eating" lover like this. I spent time with sanguious vampires in New Orleans while in college. (The real blood drinking type) They would really get sick if they didn't "feed" regularly. It was fascinating and very erotic, actually - since "feeding" was usually foreplay.
I had fun reading it, but it is really surprising that a serious guy like Kiriyama could accept making out with someone that says he wants to feed from him and makes all sort of suggestive remarks about needing him to make up for his loss of energy - is he not curious about the meaning of all those words ??? For Pete's sake, is Kiriyama happy with what happens in the end? Has the"monster" learned the meaning of love? Even the nurse, is so suspicious the 1st time he gets his "kin" in the infirmary and talks to Kiriyama about the ways to make him healthy again ... honestly, if it was me, I would get the hell out of there! No, too much has been left without explanation!
I really liked the story about the runners though - straightforward teen crush, lovey dovey, cute love affair ... *o*
