Heeey peoples ^^ . So this is just a random one-shot I had the urge to write for no apparent reason lol. It's laid out like a songfic, but this isn't a song, it's a poem I wrote ^^ . Hope you all like it!
Zero's finger hesitated on the trigger of his Bloody Rose. His lilac eyes scanned over the trembling form before him. A wide eyed Yuki stared up at him. There was an acceptance in her eyes, almost a longing for what she knew was to come if only Zero would just pull the trigger.
What would you say
If I told you you're my everything?
That the sun is only out
When you are nearby?
And the gentle moonlight
Makes your radiance glow?
"Do it," Yuki whispered, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Please."
Zero's hand shook. It needed to be done. She was a vampire after all. A pureblood. He'd already killed Kaname. Now he just needed to end Yuki's half life. It would be easy. All he had to do was pull the trigger. She was just a vampire. A pureblood.
Except she was so much more than that...
What would you do
If I took your hand?
If I pulled you in tight
In a warm embrace?
Or took sin from your lips
With a perfect kiss?
Zero lowered his Bloody Rose.
"I... I can't," he whispered back, dropping the gun to the floor.
"If you can't, then I will!" Yuki cried, grabbing the gun and pressing it to her temple. Her finger reached for the trigger, but Zero pulled it away from her head.
"Please," she choked, tears sliding down her porcelain cheeks.
"Why?" Zero asked through gritted teeth. "So you can join your precious Kaname in hell?"
What would I be
If I tainted your pure heart?
And brought you pain
With my impossible love?
Told you 'I love you'
With damp, empty eyes?
"You don't understand!" Yuki cried angrily.
"I understand! It's him! It's always been him!" Zero yanked the Bloody Rose from Yuki's hand and threw it against the wall in frustration. "He's the only one you'll ever love!"
"Why do you even care?"
Should I simply ignore
And never let you know?
Silence my cruel heart
And let you live your life?
Cry myself to sleep forever more
And want you in vain?
Zero cupped Yuki's face in his hands and pulled her close, pressing his lips against hers, needing to feel the sensation of their lips touching just once. But it wasn't him she loved. It never had been. It never would be. It was for the best. What did he have to offer her? He was worthless, dirty. He was a nothing and a no one.
She was better off without him.
Will this painful cycle
Be my forever?
"I love you," he whispered softly as he pulled away. "That's why I care."
"I don't love Kaname," Yuki said quietly. "I love you."
Zero laughed without mirth. "You don't expect me to believe that do you?"
"It's true!"
Zero turned to leave. He didn't want to hear anymore.
"Don't walk away from me!" Yuki yelled, gripping Zero's sleeve to stop him leaving.
"You can't just toy with people's emotions Yuki!" Zero shouted. "You never saw me! You only ever saw him! Do you know how impossible it was to love you?"
"Me? What about you? You don't love me, you hate me! You hate me and you hate yourself! Do you know how impossible it is to love someone with so much hate inside them?"
"If you love me so much then why do you want to die?"
Yuki began to cry again. "Because I've had enough. That's why."
Zero searched her face for insincerity, but he saw only pain in Yuki's chocolate eyes.
"What do you want from me?"
Yuki pulled Zero's face down towards hers and pressed their lips together once again. He tried to pull away, but she held him tight and deepened the kiss.
"I love you," she panted softly, kissing him again. "I want you to love me. I want us to be together. I want you to give me something to live for."
Zero hesitated.
"You want that too. Right?"
"Yes," Zero nodded, eyes filling up. "I want that."
"We can have it Zero. Together. Forever, just the two of us."
Zero smiled, for the first time in a long, long time. Suddenly, forever didn't seem like such a nightmare anymore.
So what did you think? I'd love to know ^^ . Remember; reviews are love lol. This is totally random and nothing like this happens in the manga (at least, I don't think it does) but I thought it was a nice idea.
Thanks for reading! ^^
