It's not your fault :

Two young men , handsome and obviously out of an average girl's reach , sat in a cozy restaurant that overlooked a stunning view of the city below , the fact it was time to say goodbye to the sun made everything even more magical , if that was possible .
" Takuma . " one of them called , having noticed his company spacing out all of a sudden , a touch of something bitter flickering in his eyes , the twin emerald depths that usually shone with so much life and positivity . Of course Zero was smart enough to know , learn , that takuma wasn't as happy as he looked all the time , quite the opposite . But , he hadn't really seen it so close , so clear . He had never seen a joyful vibe change that much so fast . Which was why it came as no surprise when he found himself lowering the fork and finally asking
" What happened ? "
Someone could walk in right then right there and ask him what the hell he was doing grabbing a meal with a bloodsucker and he would have no idea how to respond . It was truly incredible how much could change as time passes by , how much maturing makes everything take a 360 degree turn . He and Takuma were not exactly enemies , they never were .. But he couldn't bring himself to think of the term ' friendship ' to describe whatever they had and damn even that made it sound like they had something .
They weren't close friends , friends in general .. they weren't the same , not entirely . In fact , there was only one thing common between them , maybe two .. Long story short , their chemistry , yeah … that's the word he was looking for , was that complicated .
All he could he think of was how he and Takuma had gotten closer in a random and unpredictable manner .
One day it was just a word they spoke to each other but eventually , they found themselves meeting somewhere outside every once in a while , like today .
" What do you mean ? " Takuma's voice echoed about , making Zero blink and take a moment to collect his thoughts . He'd nearly forgotten what he'd asked to garner such question in return . Nearly .
" Something obviously spoiled your mood . " Zero pointed out , recalling how Takuma seemed to have been so much better at first . Was it because of him showing up 15 minutes later than agreed ? No way , right ? Well , yea , it wasn't often that one of them had to wait , because both of them were punctuate like that . So maybe having to wait when you became conditioned to the other party arriving in time , makes you lose your tolerance .. Maybe ..
Doesn't it make you want to pardon the other person though ?
The possibility raced in his brain so fast it could have taken no time at all . But no matter how fast it was or how perfectly hidden , a vampire would always catch more .
And catch Takuma did .
As if he could read the hunter's mind , a smile plastered itself on his face before he proceeded reassuring the said " Nothing , Zero . It's not your fault . "
It never was .

A/N
Hello to whoever ends up reading this . I know this is too short but it is a start nonetheless . And to be honest , the story won't have long chapters ( that way it would be light for both , you and I . ) The story itself won't be long either .
This idea came to me randomly a few days ago . It's not something I have planned to write or even thought of revealing . This story is going to deal with the many different types of personalities out there , the confident , the insecure , the in-between .
This story makes two promises , one intellectual and the other emotional . The former means that by the end of this story , you will think , you might have a different perspective of the world , while the latter means you will feel , you will relate to it .
I hope I meet the expectations of those two promises .
