Zero looked over his shoulder, wringing his hands nervously as he kept an eye out for the Night Class. It was their break and he didn't want to get into any bother. He sighed, rubbing his temples in hope that his splitting headache would disappear. The prefect glanced down at his watch, 00:32am burned across his vision. Less than half an hour from now he would be off duty but his bladder had decided it couldn't wait till then. He was now starting to regret the decision to not make the trek back to his dorm room. Peeking around the corner he exhaled a breath he had been holding in before slipping through the bathroom door. He did not want to get caught loitering. Disposing the paper towels he had dried his hands with, he made his way to the door, crashing to the floor as someone barged through it with an obnoxious laugh.
He kept his eyes to the floor as he slowly stood up, not bothering to brush himself off. Zero didn't look up to see who he had banged into, only muttering a soft "sorry" before trying to make his way past. He flinched as a cold hand grabbed him and forcibly pinned himself against the wall, his head smashing against the mirror. Tears stung his eyes but they remained unseen under the hair that had fallen in front of his face. The hunter made no move to grab Bloody Rose like he would not have hesitated to aim at the vampires in the past. He barely looked at the Night Class at change over never mind start fights with them. Zero had realised vampires weren't so bad and had tried to make amends after the battle with Rido but to no avail. The Night Class' attacks turned from half hearted attempts to dirty, deadly tricks. He was brought out of his mind by sharp nails digging into his chin, forcing him to stare into the ice cold eyes of Aido Hanabusa. A smirk crossed the aristocrats features, his aura emitting an intense hatred for the silverette. Zero closed his eyes praying that the vampire would leave him alone but he knew it was a stupid thought. He tried to block out the pain in his head and hoped someone would intervene.
"So if it isn't Kiryuu, all alone. Spying on us D'? I suppose it's the closet a monstrosity like you can get to humanity, right Kain? How pathetic." Aido said tilting his head, a cruel grin tainting his face. His cousins eyes widened a fraction, not used to Hanabusa acting so downright cruel. He didn't like the kid in any way but... "Hanabusa," he tried but got cut off by the blond.
"You know what I think? Your name fits you so well Zero. Just like your name you mean nothing. A nuisance no one wants around. It's no wonder your parent-" Aido was pushed back and would have fallen had Kain not been standing behind him. Zero raised a pale hand to his lips but the sob had escaped and he knew they had heard him. He burst through the door, running down the hallway as tears streamed down his porcelain face. Footsteps pounded after him but he refused to stop, even though his heart pounded in protest. His worst fear had been confirmed. He was so painfully alone.
Kaname looked at the clock on the wall and shared a look with the rest of his inner circle whom he considered his real friends. They didn't judge him for acting like a teenager and not a cold hearted pureblood, much to the delight of his parents and sister. He let out a small sigh as he rose from his chair. He binned the core of the apple he'd eaten, pausing as the smell of hunter encased the cafeteria. Chairs scrapped along the floor as the Night Class took a defensive stance but were shocked to see the resident hunter in a state of utter misery. Kaname's eyes slanted in anger, he was going to kill Hanabusa.
Zero staggered through the door, coming to a standstill as he realised his mistake. He'd run straight into the vampire nest. 'No. Oh God no,' he shook his head. Not caring about how he must look he kept going through the crowd that had gathered. He faintly heard the frantic call of Kain as he begged his cousin to leave him alone. He felt his breathing pick up. The walls closed in and he felt bile rise up his throat. The prefect felt his legs fall away from him and he crashed to the cold floor in a heap. Grabbing his throat he gasped for breath, his body shaking as he tried his hardest to breath.
Cold hands caressed his cheeks and a soft voice brought him back to reality. A light blush dusted his face as he realised he'd broken down in front of the whole Night Class.
"Hey, hey don't be embarrassed. Are you okay?" Zero nodded jerkily, his heart gradually calming at the sound of Kaname's voice. He looked up hesitantly, a small cautious smile appearing on his face as a thumb wiped away the last of his tears.
"Come here," Kaname said with a sigh as he stood and pulled Zero to rest against his chest. Running his fingers through the others hair he murmured sweet nothings into his ear. 'Nothing was going to harm this boy again,' he vowed to himself, glaring Hanabusa down.
