"Come on, little one," Kaname demanded quietly to the girl who sat up sleepily on the bed. He grazed his eyes over her hungrily before sighing and taking a step towards the beautiful brunette who was only wearing a translucent nightgown.
"Yuuki," he started again, "it is time to get up."
A small groan came from the beautiful girl, her hand falling to her stomach and gently caressing it. "Kaname… I should be able to sleep since I have three to sleep for." She looked up at him, a playful smile brightening her face, her wine-colored eyes holding a challenge.
"Three?" Kaname eyed her with slight surprise. "Twins?" His expression fell serious, "Yuuki, you know that purebloods- vampires in general- cannot have twins, one will devour the other. It is inevitable…" His gaze softened, expressing his sympathies in case he had hurt her feelings.
Yuuki threw a small pillow at him, which he easily sidestepped. "I was talking about you. You never sleep! It's ridiculously unhealthy." Obviously teasing him, she slid off the bed and walked over to him to stand before him.
A small smirk adorned his lips as he leaned towards her, softly murmuring "Yuuki, there is no reason to sleep with such an exposed beauty in bed with me."
His words brought a dark blush to her cheeks. "Well, you should still sleep. I can't stay awake with you all the time…" she muttered quietly.
"Oh? But I certainly can try to keep you up." He whispered seriously; a devilish smile painted on his face as he took a step towards her.
She looked at him, trying to process what it was he was alluding to. Without much of a warning, he pressed his lips against hers. The kiss was chaste and cut short as he pulled away not long after the impact, but the desire was there. She could tell he was resisting.
Glaring at him, her lips quickly turned into a frown. "Kaname. I know you are hungry! Please, drink my blood." The little pureblood cooed as she collected the long wisps of her hair to the side, exposing her pale neck. "Before the meetings begin, come on." She urged softly.
He watched as her expression became determined and she reached up to carefully tug on his white button-down. After the first few buttons came undone he gently reached up and removed her hands from his chest and brought them to his lips, planting small kisses on her palms. "Your thirst is worse than mine since you carry our child, I will wait until after the child is born."
Puffing up her pink cheeks in a pout she grumbled, "That'll be months from now…You'll starve…!" She watched as he let her hands go and then pointed at him. "And what will our child think of you if you are in a starved state when they join us! They'll think they are entering a cruel world! That's for sure!"
Chuckling at her jabs he reached a hand up and pulled a few tresses of her hair up to his lips and murmured into her hair, "You forget that I've lived years without your blood… a few months is nothing. I'll be fine, little one. Don't you worry."
Not content with his reply she rolled her eyes and sighed, "You're hopeless. I will make you drink from me! Just you wait, Kaname." Now she was the one smirking as he frowned. "Come on now, let's get ready. Wouldn't want us to be late to our first meeting of the day-" glancing out the window she corrected herself "-err, I mean night."
Buttoning up his shirt again he watched as she moved to the closet and picked out a dark red dress.
She met his eyes quizzically, "Do you like this one?"
"All of your outfits look wonderful on you, little one. Ruka knows what she is doing. I'll have to give her my thanks when we see her next." Slightly nodding in her direction he ushered her forward, "We must leave soon little one, the nobles do not like to be kept waiting." The nobles knew better than to get agitated by their absence, it was the unsettling feeling that Yuuki would try and get him to drink from her. Did she not realize that her thirst was more important than his? That he was only trying to look after her. His thirst could wait, she had two mouths to feed.
She met his deep red eyes before looking away and stripping out of her nightgown, dropping it to the ground. She hesitated a second as she stood barren to him as if contemplating an action. Whatever it was she was stuck on, she shook her head and stepped into her red dress, pulling it up. "Would you mind zipping me up-" adding more slowly "Ka-na-me?"
Keeping an even look he steadily walked closer to her as she moved her hair to expose her back and neck. His hands reached out and traced the curve in her back causing her to shiver. "As you wish, little one." Gently pulling on the zipper he moved it up, securing the fabric against her skin. Leaning down he planted a small kiss on the back of her neck. "Not today."
Frowning Yuuki turned around and placed a finger against his lips, "I'm not going to give up!"
"As you wish, little one." He leaned down, brushing her finger aside and planting another chaste kiss on her lips.
She let her lips linger against him for a moment before turning away to find her shoes. "Let's get this over with, shall we?" Slipping her small black heels on she eagerly stepped towards him with a small smile "We don't want the nobles to be kept waiting."
Seeking out her fingers he laced one of his hands with hers and moved towards the door in their bedroom. "As you wish."
Squeezing his hand ever so slightly she gave a small nervous smile, "I never liked these meetings."
"We'll keep it brief, as we have other duties to attend to today." He glanced at her, a smile playing on his lips.
"Like?" She asked confused.
"Were you not complaining about wanting more sleep?" He chuckled as she pressed her head against his arm with a small giggle.
