"Yuki, this is Zero Kiryu-kun. He and his family were attacked by vampires and he is the sole one that survived the attack." I stood in a state of surprise, looking at the boy who Headmaster was holding so close to.
Zero Kiryu didn't pay attention to me one bit when Headmaster was speaking to me. His light,lavender irises stared into the pure white snow that kept falling to the ground harshly to the snow storm. Headma- I mean Father brought Zero inside the house, so that he wouldn't freeze by the cold wind outside. What shocked me was the enormous blood stain that was on Zero's shirt. He was oblivious to everything that was happening to him, that he did not even realize me taking off his blood stained shirt, and wiping his chest. He just kept staring at the ground with no emotions, as if he had died emotionally.
"Don't worry, because everything is alright." Smiling at him, I kept washing off the blood off his chest, until it was fully gone. Zero just kept staring at me, which cold eyes that bore no signs of life.
~Present~
'Arg..! Why did I have to remember that of all times now?' Reminiscing about the past only caused me to have a headache in the end.
My legs trembled and I fell to the ground on my knees, feeling really weak, my gaze turned hazy and all I saw last was a figure with silver hair calling out to me.
"Yuki! Yuki! Please wake up. Please.." I felt a hand holding mines so dearly. I opened my eyes slowly, only to see Zero sitting at my bedside with a worried expression, as if he was almost about to cry.
Trying to sit up, I pushed and forced my unusually heavy body to sit up straight. A hand slowly prevented me from raising any further, as it pressed down on my lower abdomen.
"W-Wait! I want to sit up!" I shouted, but Headmaster who was beside Zero gestured me to rest more as my body has not fully recovered yet.
I could hear the birds chirping from the outside of my dorm window. Realizing it was morning a sudden thought struck to me. I quickly turned to Zero who was only staring back right at me. He let out a deep sigh and looked at the pile of papers on the dresser table. Rolling my eyes, I went back to staring at the ceiling, finally coming into the realization that I had missed a lot of school days.
"How many days have a been like this?" Closing my eyes, and resting my head, I held Zero's warm and tender hands that never left mine.
"Nearly a whole week, but don't worry." Zero looked at me reassuringly that even though I had missed a whole leap of school, I could somehow catch up quickly knowing that I am me.
"Yori-san said she'd take both notes for me and you. Well, I told her not to take for me and said that I would be fine, but she insisted that she took notes for me too. She said in thanks for taking notes for me, she said to take good care of you." A slight curve formed on the corner of Zero's mouth, as I looked at him without him knowing.
"Zero..." There was a huge pause before I said anything else, and zero had the most funniest poker face you could ever imagine.
"Did you perhaps smile now?" I teased him purposely knowing that I would get a hit or two for saying something he disliked.
"Why you..! I did not! And aren't you a little too happy and smiling for a sick patient?" Zero growled at me and gave me those serious lavender eyes that I always loved.
Looking at the open window behind his figure, I drifted off into space, not noticing of what I was saying. I warm smile adorned my face, not even did I notice that I had such an expression. Even though I was oblivious to what I was thinking or doing, Zero saw it all, and a slight blush had creeped his pale ivory cheeks. Out of embarrassment, he quickly turned to the side so I wouldn't notice him.
'W-What was that just now? I've never seen her smile like that ever in my the times I've been with her.' Thinking of my surprising new expression, Zero was unable to control his emotions.
"Zero.. I love you..." Muttering words unconsciously, I only closed my eyes in exhaustion before snapping out of my trance. Zero looked at me with surprised eyes, his warm, and gentle lavender orbs looked at me full of aghast.
"What did you say?" Zero told me to repeat what I said, but I had no clue of what I even said. I got confused of what he was asking me so I looked at him worriedly.
"How long was a I...? Is that it?" Questioning Zero, my head felt heavy and I my head fell against the pillow quickly before I realized it.
"Never mind.." He stood up from his place, fixing his school blazer, he rushed to the dorm's door and left. But before he left he uttered saying that he will call Headmaster to look after me.
"Yuki.. Have you finally felt what I have felt all these years?" Zero looked out into the dark, starry night sky. Earth moving slowly, only seemed as if the clouds were moving. Raising his right hand and pointing to the biggest star in the sky.
"My star.."
