Author's note: Hello! Wow… I realize that I haven't done this in forever. This just randomly came to me, so I hope you are prepared for extreme sadness.
Tears for a Pureblood
The sun was bright in the sky, not a cloud in sight. It warmed the small animals on the earth; waking the birds to song their early morning welcome song.
Peace roamed the earth as it has been doing for the past ten years. Joy danced in the hearts of all, except for one.
This was the day everyone would celebrate another year of peace, but for one man it was the day to mourn. To mourn the loss of his best friend, his beloved.
Zero Kiryu walked past countless tombstones, keeping count of his footsteps. He didn't want to be here. He wished that he had somewhere else to be, but Takuma had cleared his schedule and practically locked him out of his house.
He reached another gate, signalling the end of the graveyard and the beginning of a new one. Taking a deep breath, Zero opened the gate and closed it behind him.
He couldn't turn around, it would only destroy his heart all over again. Agony – his old friend – made itself comfortable in his heart.
Rolling his hands into fists, he kept his tears at bay. He would do this. He owed it to the one he loved. Zero opened his eyes and his heart stopped at what he saw.
Upon the black iron gate was a plate with a name engraved on it. 'Kaname Kuran'
It was a name that no one brought up around him. A name that he hadn't dared to remember; and now as he read it over and over again, Zero felt his world shatter once more.
Immediately he turned around, facing the tombstone of the man he loved. Broken sobs wretched itself from the hunter and he fell onto his knees, holding himself lest he fall to pieces.
It had been so long, so damn long since he let himself feel anything. It wasn't right. This world wasn't right without the Pureblood in his life.
For ten years he had kept himself busy, for ten years he had merely sent flowers. But the guilt had eaten at him. Kaname deserved more and so here he was on the anniversary of his death.
But Zero was angry, so damn angry… and lost… and broken. He needed him. Didn't Kaname know he needed him?
And so Zero started with the agonizing truth that roamed in his heart, "I hate you! I hate you so damn much! How could you do this to me?! How could you just leave me like that?!"
The sobs took over his words, shaking his entire body, cutting off his angry rants. Slowly, the pain passed and the crying stopped, leaving Zero with only a sense of emptiness.
"I was ready to die, you know. I had prepared myself for it. But I hadn't prepared myself for waking up alone every morning, the constant nightmares and seeing you wherever I go…
"I've been keeping your roses alive. I think or you every time I smell them; heck, I just think of you all the time." Zero finished, not having any more words to say. But as he leaned forward, resting his forehead against the tombstone, he hoped Kaname was thinking of him too.
