Chapter One: The Blood Flow

Zero's arms were wrapped around his pureblood, the dark room the perfect setting for a bittersweet make up. Kaname had his chin tilted up as he stroked the back of Zero's head, silent tears streaming down his face. He was so in love with the hunter it hurt, and he knew that Aido would say he was stupid to forgive so easily, but maybe he was. Love has a tendency to cause temporary stupidity.

Zero pulled away from Kaname and saw the tears. He put his hands on either side of his lover's face and used his thumbs to wipe away the tears before kissing him gently. Kaname wrapped his fingers around Zero's wrist and kissed him back, hoping that his heart would say everything he couldn't.

After a moment, they simply rested their foreheads together, breathing in and out.

"Kaname…" His voice was nearly inaudible as he didn't want to shatter their peace.

"Hm?" Neither opened their eyes.

"If you want to face this… I'll be proud to stand with you. I-I love you."

Zero could sense the smile tugging at Kaname's lips. "Say it again."

"I love you."

Kaname pulled Zero into a hug and whispered in his ear. "We'll fix this, love. Just wait and see."

Senri sat in the hall with Aido, both expecting to have heard yelling and seen Zero storm out of the pureblood's room. When nothing happened, the brunette vampire looked at Aido to see they both were thinking the same thing. They moved from their spots against the wall and walked to the door. Senri raised his fist and knocked gently on the door.

"Kaname? Is everything alright?'

When there was no answer the two exchanged worried glances and entered the room. They scanned the large area before noticing that the pureblood was cuddled up into the hunter's arms. They were sitting on the floor against the bed. Kaname's eyes flicked up to look at the two vampires before hugging Zero tighter and closing his eyes. Shiki knew that meant Kaname wanted to be alone. He opened mouth as if to say something, but he quickly shut it again, knowing better.

He grabbed Aido by the sleeve and tugged him from the room.

The door shut and the two were left alone in the moonlight. After a while, Kaname shifted.

"We should move to the bed. Sitting on the floor is not agreeing with my back."

Zero stood up quickly and pulled his lover up to his feet quickly. Kaname winced and put his hand on his lower back.

The hunter pushed the pureblood onto the bed and made him lay on his stomach. He sat on the soft duvet beside him, placing his hands on Kaname's soft shirt and rubbing the knots from his back. They stayed like that for a while, silent, but content. Zero could sense that the other had fallen asleep. He smiled as he laid down next to him and folded the soft blanket over them.

When sunlight began to seep through the curtains, basking the elegant room in a pale glow, Zero woke with a start, having temporarily forgotten where he was. He looked towards the clock glowing dimly and saw that he was almost late for class.

He gently got out of the bed and smiled down at the pureblood. He brushed hair off of his face and kissed his forehead. Zero found a note pad in the bedside table's drawer and scribbled a note for Kaname.

"I'm sorry I had to leave before you woke up, I needed to get to class. I'll see you later.

Z"

He left it underneath the edge of Kaname's alarm clock and quietly left the room. As he walked down the hallway, he was surprised just how dark the Moon Dormitory was, even in the day. As the hunter walked slowly down the stairs and towards the front door, he heard another door open behind him. He turned around to see Shiki leaning against the doorframe.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

Shiki raised an eyebrow in response. "Shouldn't you know that you're not good for him and you'll just hurt him again? That you can never stop hurting him."

Zero glared at the vampire and saw a visible shudder. "I won't hurt him again. I won't let myself. And screw you."

Zero turned and stomped out the door and into the bright morning light.

By the time the hunter had reached his room to change into his uniform, he was running late, and by the time he got to his class, the teacher had already begun the lesson. He peered into the classroom and waited until the teacher wasn't paying attention.

When the moment finally came, he snuck into the room and quickly got to his seat, slumping down after he sat so that he was less visible to the teacher, who had begun to write the assignment on the chalkboard. He noticed that other students were looking at him with confusion, but no one dared talk.

Zero smirked and got out his notebook to start writing down what he was supposed to.

Zero was standing with Yuki, waiting to keep the Day Class girls from hindering the Night Class students getting to their lessons, squinting as the setting sun's ray hit his face.

"Zero?"

"Hm?"

After a moment without a response, the silver haired teen turned to look at her. She was biting her lip.

"Yuki, what is it?"

She looked at him, her eyes filled with concern. "What's been going on with you lately? I've hardly seen you and I'm worried. Like, are you getting into stuff you shouldn't be?" She paused with a sudden look of horror. "Have you been having any blackouts?"

"What?! No, Yuki, I'm fine. I've been spending time with Kaname trying to figure some of this not falling to E crap. But I promise that everything is alright."

She offered him a small smile. "I trust you, Zero. Although, I never thought you'd willingly spend time with him. I'm happy you are, I know he can help."

Yuki was caught off guard when the hunter smiled. "I know he can too."

Before she could say anything else, they heard the scraping of shoes on the sidewalk as the Day Class girls began to show up to see the beautiful Night Class.

Yuki turned to face them, raising her voice over the excited whispers. "Alright, you guys know the drill, stay back and let them proceed. You don't want them to be late to class."

Excited murmurs began as the vampires started walking towards them, looking ethereal in the orange glow. Zero was holding his arms out to keep the girls from rushing forward.

As Kaname walked by, he stepped up close to Zero and nuzzled against his neck. "Meet me in my room after classes are over?" His breath ghosted over Zero's skin, sending a chill down his spine.

The hunter blushed and gave a small nod. He watch the pureblood walk away. It wasn't until the Night Class were all gone that Zero realized that it had fallen silent. He looked around and found everyone was watching him, some were slack jawed, while others glared.

He felt his ears grow warm and started walking away from everyone's confused stares.

This is only going to be a 4-7 chapter closing for this story. I hope you enjoyed it :3
