The Longing
I am standing on top of the Moon Dorm's roof, looking around at my surroundings. The stars are shining, the moon is glowing, and the light autumn breeze is making the leaves slightly rustle. The Night Class is in their class, and the Day Class should all be sound asleep. All in all, it is a nice peaceful night at Cross Academy.
For those of you who may not know, I am Yuuki Cross. My foster father has an ideology of vampires co-existing with humans, that's why the Night Class is here; they are vampire nobles that the Day class have no idea about. I know what you must be thinking, vampires can't co-exist with vulnerable humans; the vampires would eat them. But that is not the case at Cross Academy. The vampires drink blood tablets to quench their hunger. A pure blood, Kaname Kuran, is their leader to make sure they don't do anything rash.
Since I am at the Moon Dorm, I start thinking about Kaname Kuran. He has long chestnut hair that goes into his maroon eyes. I admire him differently than the other girls do with the rest of the vampires. The other human girls just think that they are beautiful people. Kaname is my saviour. 10 years ago, Kaname saved me from a blood thirsty vampire. He brought me here to be raised by an old friend of his.
"Thinking about Kuran again?" my silver haired best friend Zero growls in disgust.
Even though he has lived with me for 4 years, I just recently found out that when his family got attacked by a blood thirsty pure blood, it had turned him into a vampire. It saddens me that throughout all these years, I have been clueless to the state that he's been in. Zero hates both vampires and himself, for what he has become. I have made a promise, to both him and myself, that I will do everything in my power to prevent him from falling into a Level E.
"Uh, no, of course n-not," I stutter knowing that he knows that it is a lie.
He looks annoyed. "Guardian duties are done for the night. I'm going back to my dorm," he informs me.
I stand up straighter, and look serious. "Right! I will take one more look around, and then go to bed as well!" Zero starts walking away before I finish my sentence.
On my last look around, nobody was in sight. Not even a Night Class student was skipping class. I silently open my dorm room, trying not to wake up Yori, my roommate. I crawl into bed and instantly fall asleep.
All I can feel is fear, I don't want to die. As the red eyed blood thirsty Level E comes closer to me, I get even more scared. The combination of the cold snowy night and fear freezes me into a statue. I can't run, all I can do is stare into those crimson eyes that petrify me, as they get closer and closer.
"Scary vampire is going to eat me," a childish voice inside me thinks.
I see a flash of silver in front of me. "Disgusting," Zero says just before he plummets his fist into the vampire's chest, ripping out its heart. He turns to me, out stretching his clean hand to me. "It's alright, I'll protect you," he reassures me.
As I take his hand, I bolt up right, panting. I take in my surroundings, realizing that it was just a dream. This time it was Zero saving me. It's usually Kaname who saves me, since that's what actually happened 10 years ago.
I get out of bed, put on my fuzzy purple slipper boots, and walk out of the room. I know that I am breaking a school rule, but I can't help but go see Zero; I know that I will always be safe around him. If he's tired enough, then he might let me stay with him for the remainder of the night.
I softly knock once on his door. "Zero!" I whisper through the door to him, hoping he'll hear me.
The door knob twists open. I am greeted by a shirtless Zero, who is wearing dark blue pyjama pants. He is rubbing the sleep out of his eye as he opens the door. "Yuuki? What are you doing here so late?" he asks tiredly.
I blush at how good he loos without a shirt on. "Oh, um, Z-Zero. C-can I come in?" I plead with my chestnut eyes.
He sighs, and opens the door wider for me to go in. After he closes the door he says, "You can take the bed, I'll take the couch."
My eyes widen. "No, I can't kick you out of your own bed," I decline. "I'll just sleep on the couch, no worries."
"I'm not much of a man, if I make a lady sleep on an old couch," he argues back.
"Fine then, we'll both sleep on the bed," I tell him.
His eyes shoot up wide, not expecting that kind of reply from me. After all, he does think that I have a thing for Kaname, not knowing that I secretly actually really like him instead. "B-but Yuuki, your blood..." Zero trails off, clutching at his throat.
Zero hasn't drunk any of my blood for a couple of weeks, he must be thirsty. Zero's body rejects the blood tablets, so in order to prevent him from falling to Level E; I force him to drink my blood. I trust him not to take too much, but if he needed it, I'd allow him to drink me dry. He can take as much blood from me as he needs.
I slowly walk up to him. "Zero, drink," I tell him, moving my hair to expose my neck.
He stares at my neck, his beautiful lilac eyes turning crimson. He shakes his head, "No Yuuki, I can't. I don't want to hurt you."
I move closer to him. Each step I take towards him, he takes a step back from me. I finally have him up against the wall. I press my body against his. "Drink," I tell him once more.
He starts breathing hard, trying to keep himself in control. He grabs my wrists, and spins me around so he is pinning me against the wall. I extend my neck to expose it more to him. He leans down, just inches from my neck. His hot laboured breath on my skin is sending shivers down my spine.
"I'm so sorry Yuuki," Zero whispers his apology just before his fangs plunges into my skin.
I gasp at the connection of fangs meeting skin. At first it feels like a quick pinch, but then it feels amazing. I'm at a loss for words for how it feels. It brings me pleasure that I've never felt before. I tangle my hands in his hair to bring him closer, not wanting him to stop. "Don't be sorry, Zero. This is truly a wonderful feeling," I whisper to him, not knowing if he hears me over the flow of my blood.
He pulls away, ending it too quickly. His tongue rolls over the two puncture wounds to clean up the excess blood, and to close it up. He licks the blood off his lips, as his eyes turn back to lilac.
We silently stare at each other for several minutes, until I take his hand and lead him towards the bed. I let go of his hand as I get onto the bed. I crawl to the furthest side of it, and pat the empty space beside me, signalling him to lie down next to me.
As he lies down beside me, I cuddle up to him. He slightly stiffens as I rest my head on his chest, and wrap my arm around him. He slowly relaxes in my hold. I listen to him breathing for a long time, until the familiar darkness of sleep takes over me.
