Who would ever have thought to imagine love was possible between a vampire and a hunter? No one, so why was it even happening? At first everything seemed to be so trivial - feeding the hunter his blood. It started off casual, the excuse that it was so Kaname didn't have to deal with the task himself, but quickly it all seemed to change.

Almost too quickly.

Senri wasn't one to care about such matters. That was why it started off rather uninteresting. When he'd sense the ex-human beginning to lose himself he'd offer his blood. It had been as simple as that until slowly their meetings became more intimate. More intense.

The first time they kissed…it was one of the most unexpected gestures to ever be done by the male known as Zero.

It was a normal night. The moon was full as it hung in the sky that was dotted with glimmering stars, covering the academy's landscape with silvery light. Class had been cancelled for the evening, leaving the redheaded vampire to wander about the grounds with no particular destination in mind. He was tired, like always, but to sleep so soon was just not something he really wanted to do. If he returned there was always reading manga alongside Takuma, but that wasn't very appealing either.

A yawn escaped his lips, making a hand that had been contently resting in his pocket to come up and cover his mouth, the corner of his eyes tearing up from the oxygen-need habit when a scent suddenly caught him that flowed through the air.

Glacier hues soon drifted off to the side in the direction of the smell, his hand slowly slipping back into his pocket. That was Zero's scent…and it had been a long time since he last fed him. Sighing, he turned and began to walk in that direction, staring forward with little motivation.

I thought I told him not to wait so long…he thought silently to himself, looking around as he moved, slowly getting closer to the destination he was heading. It was near a grove of trees that the smell was strongest, sending him straight to where he found the silver-haired hunter leaned against a thick trunk, his fingers having clawed at the webbed tattoo on his neck making him bleed.

For a moment Senri just stared at him, the other's glowing red eyes glaring up at him in return. "Back off." he growled, but the redhead just allowed his eyes to lid at the sight before him. "If I do that then what will you do? Shoot yourself to stop this?" Both knew he was too stubborn at that point to end his own life. Once he had even threatened to do it in front of him, but he had simply said go ahead which made the hunter hesitate.

Why?

He still had no clue.

"You need to feed, or are you going to resist again?" Not like he ever resisted anyway once catching the scent of his blood. It was handy he supposed, but it also was boring.

Slowly he kneeled down in front of the suffering male, biting into his wrist, pulling his fangs away as blood slowly oozed from the puncture wounds. "Here." he murmured, holding it towards him. At first the hunter resisted, turning his head away with a growl, but Senri watched with his passive gaze as he slowly gave in, fingers gripping the wrist of the offered hand from below, dragging the blood to his lips.

The sensation of the tongue brushing against his skin caused a shiver to erupt. That was something new he seemed to have developed from being in Zero's presence. He didn't like it. It was still unknown as to why it even started to happen.

Zero had noticed the reaction too, his glowing gaze staring at him, lidding as he ran that pink muscle against the wound and flesh to pick up all the traces of his blood. The look being offered was just as unsettling as the action, causing Senri to avert his eyes off to the side. The hunter pulled away, still gripping his wrist tight.

"Can't stand to look at me…Senri?" It was a challenge, but an unexpected one. He couldn't help but let his eyes fall back to the other's face, a bit of surprise showing in them. He never actually said his name before. "Not quite the case. Just hurry up." He wanted to get out of there before the situation got any stranger. He could feel ever since the first time that tension was building between them. It was a strange feeling, but he was sure the usually lavender-hued other could sense it too.

Once more he let his faded blue eyes look away, feeling the male's gaze on him in a sudden awkward silence. It wasn't until he was about to sigh that he felt his arm get jerked and the impact of the ground against his back take him off guard that he winced, blinking up to focus on him. "What was that for?"

"Just shut up." The order sounded angry, almost frustrated, but the look he was receiving was far from it. It was fiery yes, but there was a different glimmer to that stern and intimidating gaze that was new. Senri decided best to remain quiet, waiting until the male finally made a move for his throat, brushing a tongue over the correct vain and soon biting into him without pause.

That is new…and definitely unexpected. Even though he started to drink from him he was usually reluctant but that hesitation didn't even show that evening. Not like he was going to actually point it out. He just figured Zero was that hungry so he let it slide.

A few moments passed until finally the teeth were pulled from his neck, the back of the hunter's sleeve coming up to wipe the blood from his lips. "Can I go now…?" the redhead asked after the moment of silence, getting a glare to shut up, making him sigh, while he watched those glowing eyes soon return to their natural lavender luster. It took a few moments to realize that he was going to make no move to get off of him, causing his eyes to lid in a casual glare.

"Just get off of me." he murmured, moving to sit up, finding a hand quickly gripping his shoulder that shoved him back down, making it hard to resist rolling his eyes. Either way everything was just leaving him confused. "What is wrong with you?" The hunter was acting completely out of character which was a lot to say given his usual attitude.

At that point the vampire just stared up at him, meeting the other's gaze with calm, only gazing down when he felt a hand grip the front of his uniform and drag him up to be face-to-face. The silence continued, and a strange feeling quickly coiled inside Senri's gut. Before he could ask what he was doing the pressure of lips soon caught him off guard, causing his eyes to widen in pure shock.

Zero was kissing him.

Now things were just getting complicated.
