Kaname x Zero (I want your blood)

Chapter 34--Peaceful times

Kaname's POV

Things have started flowing more naturally and calmly with Zero.

We have passed some nights together since then. We tend to avoid anything depressing at first and begin joking around about whatever we can find. We chit chat and hold conversations with no meaning at all.

It's incredible how Zero is so sociable now... He wouldn't even talk to me before but now he is properly opening up to me.

It finally feels like we are properly dating. Of course it's not like there are no difficulties at all or something. We almost got caught by Aidou and Ruka more than once and we ended up almost kissing in front of Yuuki. We should be thankful she doesn't know how to mask her presence.

"Kaname~~ I am sleepy~~"

Zero said from my bed. I had stood up looking outside the window. I looked over at him and replied with a smile.

"You can sleep if you want."

"Come sleep too~"

"I am not used to sleeping at night."

"Fair enough..." he pouted sadly.

I chuckled gently and got closer to the bed.

"Well I can at least lie down next to you."

"...thanks..."

"When did you get so selfish?" I asked jokingly.

"I am only selfish with you...." He said with a sheepish expression.

"Yeah yeah..." I smiled and patted his head gently.

He pulled my hand making me fall next to him on the bedding. I couldn't hold in my laughing and chuckled with all my heart.

He grumpled but didn't say anything. He had soon drifted off to sleep.

I enjoyed staring at his face. When he slept he looked so at peace. I unconsciously felt at peace too.

It had become my secret night hobby.

He also evolved as a vampire if I have to admit. He is asking for my blood more casually now, the blush never escaping his face though.

If only these peaceful days would continue on, that would have been for the best.

Zero's POV

Kaname has started looking more silly in my eyes. He is not as mentally stable as I thought he was. He is sadistic and childish and selfish and anyway... not what you would expect of a model student.

It was those traits of his that allowed me not to view him as an enemy.

It's quite hilarious looking at him getting flustered or confused or overly excited for no reason.

It finally felt like we really were lovers... I think even I have regained the enjoyment I had lost in these last 4 years.....

Sometimes by th early morning when I woke up, he would go to sleep. So I quite enjoyed stroking his curly smooth hair while he was sleeping. It became quite an addiction if I have to characterise it as something.

But these peaceful time of playing lovers were bound to end soon...

Everything started one day, when Yuuki begun crying in her room. I peered inside wondering what it was that was scaring her.

It was nothing but she claimed to have seen blood all around her.

"Zero... I tried remembering my past... B-but then... it was scary and there was lots of blood...everywhere!" She said with a frightened expression while clinging to my arm...

That night I didn't leave her side. I had promised to visit Kaname that night, but even I knew that Kaname would put Yuuki above his own enjoyment. And I too, I want Yuuki to be safe.

The problem was my conscience. Without meaning to I ended up learning everything about her past, every single detail.

I was also aware about just how important it was for Kaname to keep it a secret from her... I didn't know what to do.

Yuuki saved me. I want to help her find out. But if I do tell her about it, it would be like betraying Kaname. I didn't know what to do.

In the morning I was planning to visit Kaname first and then the chairman. I would ask them both about it.

Yuuki was shivering all throughout the night. She grabbed my hand and wouldn't let it go. I patted her head and her back in an attempt to calm her down but her shivering wouldn't stop...

I was so afraid at the time... afraid that Yuuki might be facing some kind of after effect of turning into a human...

That was also when I realized that Yuuki was a pureblood as well...

Kaname's POV

Aaaaaaah Zero isn't coming. He isn't coming at all.

He said he would surely come today but he isn't coming... Did something happen I wonder... Maybe I should visit him instead...?

My classes are over! Its early morning but I can't calm down without seeing Zero!!

Ahh how selfish I have become.

I took off my uniform leaving on me only the pants and the black shirt. I hid my presence as much as possible and I walked towards the boy's dormitory. Zero wasn't in his room.

An unexplainable worry took over me at that point. I tried to calm down my heart pounding and decided on trying visiting Yuuki's room. But Yuuki was missing too.

This is indeed worrying after all. I was almost ready to run over to the chairman's office but taking some deep breaths I calmed my pacing down and walked over to the chairman's quarters calmly and making it seem like I was taking a relaxed walk.

But when I entered his office he was in a skeptical mood.

"What happened, Chairman Cross?"

"Kaname-kun... It's Yuuki. She is trying to remember."

I felt my heart tightening up. His words managed to land me back into earth. And then an unbelievable worry took over me.

What if Zero has spoken to Yuuki of the truth...?

"C-chairman, what about Z- Kiryuu? Where is he?"

"Hm? He is with Yuuki. She won't let go of his arm it seems. The poor girl is too scared."

"Where are they!?"

"I-in the room next door but Kaname-kun. Don't do anything rush. Let Yuuki calm down for today. We can think of something tomorrow."

But the words fell on deaf ears as Kaname run outside the room and into the next room ina matter of seconds.

He opened the door abruptly earning Zero's shock in response....

To be continued....
