Drabble 1- Sick

Vampire Knight © Matsuri Hino


The first time she was sick, he panicked, probably more so than necessary. He wasn't sure what to expect when he arrived there, but all he knew was that he had to be there.
When he arrived, she was sleeping on the sofa, curled up with a blanket and a wild array of tissues spread around her and another sense of panic threatened to hit him. She looked so frail, almost as though one wrong touch could shatter her and he suddenly realised what it meant for her to be human. She was going to get sick, and she would injure herself frequently and that was what worried him the most. The human life was so easy to take away
He went and sat by her curled-up legs and watched her slightly open mouth as it drew in air. She was so precious to him, and whilst he knew it was important for her to be human for now, he was impatient to turn her back so that she wouldn't have to deal with any sickness and he wouldn't have to see her looking so delicate and breakable.
When he reached up to check her temperature with his hand, her eyes flickered open and he could see the fatigue still in them.
"Kaname-Sama?" Even her normally adorable voice showed her illness, it was too rough for his liking.
"Shh," He whispered to her as he reached for the damp cloth that was on the table beside her and draped it over her burning forehead, "You need to rest, Yuki, you're sick,"
"Thank you for coming, Kaname-Sama," Her small hand grabbed his from its position on her head and held it close to her whilst she allowed her eyelids to droop again, giving into the pull of sleep, but still being able to enjoy his presence.
"I'll always be here when you need me, Yuki," And it was true, whenever she needed him, he was always there and at that moment, he made a silent promise to make sure he always will be, no matter what.


A/N; I already have a drabble collection up as some of you may be aware of -Dripping Blood- but this is different. This will, eventually, reach 100 chapters, all based on prompts that I have collected from the internet. The updates for this will be fairly often, I'd guess, as they'll be shorter that anything that's posted in Dripping Blood. These drabbles will revolve around different parings and situations, and I may throw in a few AU shots aswell.
The idea of this collection is to get me back into writing, and allowing me to test different writing styles and try different parings that I normally wouldn't write about.
They'll all be fairly short, I suppose anything from 250 words up to 1,000 words.
A majority of them will be centered on KanameXYuki, as usual, because I can't help myself, but will also have some ZeroXYuki, RukaXKain, AidouXYori, HarukaXJuuri etc, but will also have some friendship/non-paring drabbles, too.
Please review and let me know what you think of this so far, and I'll probably update withing about 2-3 days depending on responses.

Thank you!
