Last Breath
Chapter One: Inhale
Why is she always on my mind? Is it because that now that she's one of them, one of the Purebloods, she has to marry Kaname? Damn it, Yuki... why did you leave? You kept a bridge between him and I, and now there's nothing. You were the only way I could see him, and now even that has faded.
I raise my head to the sky, watching the pure white snow fall to the ground. I think back, remembering when he let me drink from him... and how leaving that day was the last thing I had wanted to do. Ironic, isn't it? A hunter-turned-vampire falling for a damn Pureblood. My life just keeps getting better.

"Zero." My head turns toward the sinfully familar voice, not wanting it to be a memory. This is the voice that I had thought left my life for good when she married him.
"What? You don't say anything- not a single thing!- for all these years, leaving me to suffer, and now you show up? Do you really think that you can just worm your way back into my life by only saying my name? Well, you're wrong! You're wrong if you had assumed that." Because there's no way I'll accept that as an excuse. You're finally back, my whole reason for living. You can't work your way back into my life because you had never left it. You can't get back in because you are my life.
"Zero, I know you probably won't forgive me easily, but I just wanted you to know something. The wedding that was arranged... it never happened. After we left the academy, I realized it was pointless because I would be leaving such an important part of my life behind. I'd be leaving you, Zero, and I just couldn't handle the thought of it. I regret that it took me this long to finally return to you, but... I spent the whole time thinking of how to say this. In the end, I settled on the simplest. Zero Kiryu, what I've wanted to say since the first time I saw you... I love you, Zero."
I can feel my breath catch at those words.
The soft brown hair, mahogany eyes, pale skin flowing perfectly over bone to make strong, graceful features. My eyes drift from the mouth that I have wanted for so long to cpture with my own to the eyes that convey so much emotion because of that one sentence.
"Breathe, Zero. Or was it too much of a shock?"
A light blush stains my cheeks- I can feel it- and I take in a long, shaky breath of air.
