Kaname pov :
Today is the day I move in the new apartment in tokyo because of my mother's job . She said I would be attending a new school starting from tomorrow .
I went to my room and started preparing my clothes as well as tidying the area before sitting on the chair to write.
I love writing..
But then I heard the sound of piano playing and so I followed it.
Once I opened the window , what first greeted me was a silver haired boy who looked utterly beautiful and was in fact the one playing the piano.
And guess what ?
He noticed me staring .
So I , as stupid as it may sound , immediately closed the window and stepped backwards.
That was hella embarrassing.
Way to go , Kaname . Way to go !
After scolding myself for my childish act , I went to sleep , praying to God that our neighbor would forget what happened earlier .
Who knows .. we might end up crossing each other's paths and then he might recall me staring at him . that would be undeniably embarrassing , not to mention uncomfortable …
.
.
.
Next morning :
" Kaname , wake up . you will be late for school and on your first day too ! "
I heard my mum exclaim from outside and just then , my alarm went off .
Being a light sleeper is a double edged weapon indeed .
" Yes , Mum . I'm awake . "
I answered back rather sleepily before getting up , taking a shower and then getting changed into my school uniform .
Once done , I made my way towards the kitchen where my mother greeted me .
" Come on , darling . Let's eat . " She softly said as she set the table .
I hummed my response and sat down but then I realized I didn't even know where my new school was .
" Mum ? where is the new school ? Is it far ? "
She chuckled at my eagerness before responding
" No . Not far but not close enough for you to walk so you will need to take the bus which I'll give you money for ~ "
She said before disappearing for a while . then she came back and handed me some money .
I had to speed up so I finished breakfast quickly and bid her goodbye .
" Good luck , Kaname ~ " .
.
.
.
When I arrived at the bus stop , I noticed it had already left and so I had to run , much to my frustration .
Luckily though , the man wasn't driving at a high speed so I managed to catch up with it .
I didn't know I was in for a surprise until I saw the boy from yesterday and , once again , he caught me staring .
Our eyes met and there wasn't any vacant seat except for the one next to him so I awkwardly made my way there .
He kept staring at me for a while before averting his gaze to look through the window .
Wait ? I inwardly questioned .
He was wearing the same uniform !
Could it be ?
I kind of like that ..
WAIT ?
Why would I like it ?
Why am I nervous ?
I'm usually cold , detached , and anti-social .
The whole ride had been extra awkward , explaining why I felt so relieved when we finally arrived at school .
I got down and he did the same .
He was right behind me !
I entered the school and , again , he copied me .
We are in the same school , after all !
The bell rang , however , snapping me out of my thoughts .
First day is always tiring because I have to walk for so long searching for my class , especially since it's a new school .
When I finally reached my class , the teacher arrived right after me and then I was asked to introduce myself .
she must have noticed me being a new face .
" My name is Kuran Kaname . Please take care of me . "
I bowed a little bit and heard whispers that weren't really considered whispers since I could hear them .. Some students were calling me weird because of my long layered hair , some even called me ugly but I didn't give them my attention .
" Kuran Kaname , you can sit next to Kiryuu Zero since the one that used to sit next to him already left a week ago . Kiryuu , raise your hand . "
The teacher announced and I followed her eyes to know who that Zero was and guess what ?
The same boy !
I had no choice but to do as told so I went there and sat down .
" Kiryuu Zero . " He stretched his hand to shake mine which I mirrored .
" Kuran Kaname ."
" you are my new neighbor , right ? I saw you yesterday when you were staring . "
Do you have to remind me ?
I take it back .. this is not just embarrassing . This is nerve-wracking ..
" I heard the piano playing so I got curious . " I explained without meeting his eyes . His lips were distracting and I was worried he would catch me staring , again .
" Uhum . I see . " He just nodded before paying attention to the teacher .
.

Skip to Lunch time , Zero pov :
I was in my way to meet my friends in the cafeteria when a voice called me .
" Zero , I missed you ~ "
My girlfriend said before hugging me , forcing me to return the action .
I do like her but .. I feel like she has a crush on kaito , my friend from the basketball club .
" Me too ~ "
I answered her then lead us inside . we got our food and then I saw my friends , Senri , Takuma , Hanabusa and Akatsuki . then we occupied our table .
And oh , Let me tell you something .
My friends are not straight but I don't care .
Sexual orientation is not the matter , love is .
" Hey ~ " I greeted them .
" Hey , Zero. " Hanabusa replied cheerfully .
" Ah , Zero . I heard you got a new student in your class . They say he is ugly . " Said Akatsuki as he devoured his food.
" He sits next to me and is also my neighbor . "
I wasn't agreeing to the fact Kaname was ugly though .
" But I don't find him ugly . " Defended Takuma .
Wait ?
Ah right , he saw him.
He came to see me after the second class and saw Kaname .
" He is ugly , right ? " Seiren asked me , her eyes gazing at mine .
I spaced out for a while , recalling Kaname's looks .
He has beautiful eyes and heart shaped lips ..His hair is dark and reaches his shoulders but in layers so it doesn't look exaggerated for a guy . I rather like it .
" Zero ? " She asked again and I blinked , answering her without realising what my answer meant .
" yea . yea . "
But wait .. Where was he ?
I scanned the whole place and when I finally noticed him sitting in a far corner , I stood up but Seiren held my hand and gave me questioning looks .
" Where are you going ? " She'd asked like I shouldn't leave her , the thing that provoked me .
To be honest , I don't know why she is still with me .
I know she likes Kaito and only wants my money .
" I'll go to the restroom . " I lied .
She let go of my hand and stood up , making me resist the urge to raise my eyebrows .
Don't tell me she is planning to accompany me !
" I will go meet my friends then . "
Oh , that's better . way better .
" Oh ! okay . See ya . "
And so I started heading towards that guy.
He seemed sad . He wasn't like that in the morning though .
I sat beside him then spoke up " Hello . "
" What do you want ? you here to tell me I'm ugly ? Throw me some insults ? " He asked in a lethal tone but I could still feel the hurt in those chocolate brown eyes staring at mine .
wait , what ? him ? ugly ?
" Eh ? .. I came here to .. to .. Actually , I don't know why but I certainly didn't come to say that . I just want us to be friends . "
I sincerely explained but he still seemed hesitant .
" I don't want friends . All they want is to make my day terrible . " He said , sadness brimming his eyes and I don't know why it affected me so much.
" Kaname , I'm not like that .. Really . Believe me . " I promised as I held his hand reassuringly .
" We'll just be friends . " I smiled at him and only then did he seem to believe me .
" Okay . " He grinned and changed 180 degree , suddenly hugging me .
He actually hugged me .. And I hugged back .. I also liked it .. And I didn't want to let go ..
" Can you let me go ? " His voice came out muffled and it was only then that I realized I had him in my arms all that time .
" Oh ! sorry . " I apologized awkwardly , letting him go .
" It's okay . " He said . then I heard the bell .
" I will go now . " He said awkwardly and I watched him leave .
I watched him leave !
I kept staring at his fading figure .
What's happening to me ?
I don't know why but I feel like protecting him ..
Why are they bullying him when he is not even ugly ?
And even if he was .. That's nonsensical .. How can you blame someone for their looks ? We are all born this way .
" I saw you , caught you red handed ! He is beautiful , right ? "
I nearly screamed when Takuma - out of nowhere - appeared next to me and said that .
" Hey ?! So what ? I just want to be his friend . "
I said defensively , my hand still clutching my chest .
" Friend ? Are you sure ? " He asked suspiciously , staring at me in a different way than seconds ago .
" Yes friend and what's that look supposed to mean ? You know I have a girlfriend ! " I demanded , stressing the fact I was in a relationship and with a girl , meaning I'm straight !
the stare he kept giving me was starting to get on my nerves though .
" Yes , I do . But I also know she doesn't love you . You have never even kissed her ! " He spoke up seriously , pointing out the obvious , the truth I preferred not to acknowledge .
" Yea .. And where are the others ? " I asked , trying to change the subject because I knew he was right but I didn't want to lead such conversation .
After all , why would I kiss someone who only loves my money ?
Dumb I was . You would think why the hell I was still dating her ..
Well , even though she doesn't like me , there had been a time when I loved her and now , I don't know how to end it between us . She has become an existence I'm used to .
" They went to their classes and I think we are gonna be late . " Despite not taking the bait , Takuma answered , snapping me out of my thoughts for the second time before adding " I gotta go . "
And he made a run for it .
then it was my turn to sprint towards my class .
A certain blonde is to blame .
When I arrived there , the teacher was already inside .
" Ah , Zero . come in . Kaname told me you were in the nurse office , are you okay ? "
Wait ?
What ?
Kaname ?
" Ah , yea . yea. " I answered , absent-minded , then headed towards my seat .
" Thanks . " I said in casual tone but inwardly , I was having a mental party .
" It's alright . I noticed you talking with your friend so I thought you would be late . " He explained but didn't meet my eyes .
" Oh ! okay . "
.
.
.
.
Classes passed and Kaname didn't talk to me .
I saw the boys and , sometimes , girls who came to his side , telling him he was ugly and that his long fringe made him look feminine .
I was about to defend him when he stood up and left , totally ignoring them .
School time was over and so I bid Serien goodbye , as well as my friends but then Takuma stopped me , whispering " Your princess is in danger . "
I grew confused . " What do you mean ? '
I knew he meant Kaname but why ? What danger ?
" I heard that Isaya and his clique are planning to finish him off after school time today . you better do something right in your life . He is better than your sl*** , Serien . "
" Takuma ! She is my girlfriend ! " I snapped at him .
No matter what , calling girls those names is not acceptable , not in my dictionary .
" Zero , open your eyes ! she doesn't like you ! Everyone knows she likes Kaito ! " He snapped back and it was only Senri approaching us , calling Takuma that prevented a possible fight from taking place .
" Taku , come on . let's go . " Urged Senri , sending me a look I didn't quite understand . It was like he'd agreed with his lover but preferred not to get involved , fearing we'd end up fighting .
" I will go . I hope you listen to my advice . "
Those were Takuma's last words before he left .
What's he talking about ?
Who said I could leave Seiren for Kaname ? someone I just met ?
It's not like I have feelings for him .. And he certainly doesn't have feelings for me either .. God ! I don't even know about his sexual orientation .

A/N
hello , everyone . I know .. I know . some of you may probably be wondering about my pre-written works . They are convert fics .
The fics that I truly wrote for vampire knight fandom are
" A revenge so sweet yet so bitter "
" Goodbye freedom "
" Vk memories "
" child of the moon "
" My answer is useless now "
However , I have to point out that I did rewrite the Disney collection and changed it drastically from the previous version belonging to the other fandom .
The two bonus chapters in " untitled " were also written especially for vk .
Ch 2 in " A loving home for every child " as well .
that being said , You may find the quality of this humble because it was published in Nov , 2015 . But I hope you enjoy it as a lightread .
To be honest I was very reluctant to convert my fics because I believe that what was written for a fandom should stay dedicated to it . you get me ?
Think of it as follows .. A guy proposing to you with the same ring he offered to another girl . Not a pleasant thought , right ?
But then I felt like sharing those works here too , I wanted to flood the vk tag with those ideas . so yup .. I did ..
Whenever I don't have inspiration to write new chapters for my exclusively vk fics , I would end up occupying my time with converting . It makes me feel like I did something . Achievement unlocked .
That's all , for now .
Xoxo Zerovk
