Kaname sat behind his desk, fingers absently tracing little, lazy patterns on the tabletop. He felt drained from the day's activities; making contact with the Hunter Association always left him in a bad mood with low energy reserves – an excellent reason to leave such matters to others, he supposed. Almost instantly he regretted the thought. Takuma was more than capable, and undoubtedly only too happy to help, but Kaname knew that the task was his own however much he disliked it. Whatever he might say, inwardly Takuma would find the job just as dull and wearing as any other vampire would.
Speaking of vampires…
Kaname's thoughts rushed back to remind him of his current dilemma. Low energy and tolerance. Kiryuu moving in today. Judging from the shadows outside the boy was due to arrive any minute. He could feel the dorm beginning to wake as the sun began to set. Kaname ran long fingers through his hair, annoyed at his own condition. He hoped that somehow Kiryuu would just ignore all the greetings and storm up to his new room, slamming the door and content to sulk in a dark corner. The pureblood knew the prospect of an uneventful, peaceful evening was slim, but tonight he didn't feel his normal composed self. Kiryuu always stretched his patience to the limit and Kaname couldn't help but privately wonder how Yuuki managed to be in the boy's presence for more than a few minutes at a time. The boy seemed to see it as his personal duty to make everyday the most depressing day it could be.
The pureblood sighed lightly. He had a nagging suspicion the hatred he felt towards Yuuki's friend was a trifle overdone. True, the boy did seem to return the feeling, but really Kaname couldn't help but feel that the whole thing was childish. Perhaps Kiryuu would become comfortable with the moon dorms and open up a little. Then perhaps he and Kaname would drop their long standing dispute. Perhaps.
Kaname straightened as a knock sounded on his door. He hadn't felt Takuma approach, immersed in his thoughts as he was, but now the noble stood at the entrance to his rooms waiting for a response.
"Come in, Takuma."
Light spilled onto the dark carpet and crept up the wall as a smiling blond head popped into the room. "Good morning Kaname~! I just thought I'd ask – which room are you putting Zero-kun in? He'll be arriving shortly."
"Ah. It's good that you asked Takuma. I hope you don't mind, but I've put him with you. Room 12 is the largest room we have and until we can find somewhere else to fit him, he'll have to share with you and Shiki." Again, Kaname regretted pushing such a burden on his childhood friend, feeling that by giving the orders he was somehow he being arrogant and very selfish.
Takuma saw the thought flash through Kaname's eyes as he finished. He smiled warmly, wishing the pureblood would stop being so… independent. What was the point of a second in command if you always did the tasks yourself? "Excellent! We'll stick him in my room, and I'll be the first one to find all his tickle spots!" Cackling wildly Takuma ducked his head out and moved back down the hall.
Kaname chuckled at the noble's perpetually good humor. If Kiryuu couldn't get along with Takuma, then he had no chance with the rest of the dorm. Kaname knew that many of them didn't like the idea of a level D in their classes at all, but at his own insistence, Kiryuu had been forced to leave the day class and join the night. If Kiryuu wasn't careful he was going to make a lot of enemies, and hence, a lot of trouble for Kaname.
A slight breeze wafted in through the open window, bringing with it a scent Kaname could have recognized in his sleep. Yuuki. He breathed deeply, registering the sweet warm toffee aroma that belonged to his favorite girl. Her scent was appealing to all of the night class, but more so to him – probably because you're so infatuated with her, his mind supplied. Another waft of cooling air swept in, and Kaname sucked in a breath, hoping to catch another dose of the heady fragrance. Instead, he smelt the grass and the blossoms outside – clear evidence of spring, and he barely caught a whiff of… citrus? Something tangy.
Curious, the pureblood stood and moved to the window, standing well back in the shadows but still close enough to gaze out at the school beneath him. Standing by the gates of the Moon dorm was little Yuuki, watching as… ahhhhhh.
Walking slowly down the damp earthy path, suitcase wheeling along behind him, was Kiryuu. The trees that lined the drive were in full bloom, and petals of white and pink fell gently in the wind creating a vividly colorful carpet that stretched from the gate to the base of the stairs. That alone would have made the scene beautiful, but what really caught Kaname's attention was not the signs of spring, but Kiryuu.
Maybe the strong floral scent had gone to Kiryuu's head or perhaps he was feeling somewhat freer with the wind, but Kaname could see the relaxed tilt of the prefect's shoulders and the easy sway of his walk, such a contrast to his usual stiff posture. The silver head was down and in the last rays of the sun Kiryuu's hair seemed to give off a light shine, like it was glowing with its own light as the strands flowed in the breeze.
Kaname's eyes flicked to a slight movement on his left. The heavy curtains in the living room had opened fractionally, and the pureblood could see two vampires peering down the drive. His lips twitched as their eyes widened, undoubtedly noticing the picturesque tableau before them. He turned his attention back to the prefect now below him. Kiryuu had stopped walking and reached out towards a pair of sparrows flitting on a nearby branch. The pureblood wondered at the bravery of the tiny creatures – all animals knew that vampires were natural predators and fled accordingly at their approach. His eyes moved up the boy's arm to rest on Kiryuu's face. How is he…oh my god. Kaname's eyes widened in shock and the curtains to his left shook violently as the vampires pressed forward, craning for a better look. Did Kiryuu just…smile?
