A/N: This is a direct sequel to my oneshot Fine, You Win. In case someone hasn't read it, Zero and Yuuki become a couple and they fall asleep together (Not like that, they literally just fall asleep.) This is an attmept to continue the story, but I don't know how far it will go as I haven't decided on any real plot and I still no nothing about this show outside of the first four episodes and a few things I've read online. Still, I believe I have managed to keep them in character, it is always what I strive for, and I feel like I did okay. There is going to be more, but I might just make this a few chapters of fluff stuff and then end it, not sure yet. I hope you enjoy, and I the next chapter will include them actually interacting with other characters. Reviews are always appreciated and thanks for reading.

Chapter One

Zero's eyes opened slowly. He blinked against the light and tried to put a hand up to shield his eyes, but it was stuck. He looked down at the brown hair fanning across his chest and froze. He could hear Yuuki's slow breathing as he started to remember the night before. Still, he wasn't used to waking up with someone else so close to him and he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to wake her, and she was still clinging to his shirt.

Slowly, as he began to accept there was nothing he could do until she woke up, he began to enjoy the moment. Her steady breathing was pleasant and he felt extremely satisfied that she had sought comfort in him. He didn't feel he deserved it, and he doubted that he ever would, but there was still a smug smile on his face as he cautiously rested his cheek against Yuuki's soft hair. He was thankful that it was a weekend, he didn't want to have to go to classes. If Yuuki slept the entire day, he didn't think he would mind. He had never gotten such restful sleep before.

Yuuki stirred and shifted. Stretching against him, she opened her eyes.

The smile was gone, and now he felt she really should move or at least stop moving her limps in a way that accentuated every place where their bodies were touching. He couldn't help that he was a teenage boy.

Thankfully, Yuuki was quick to back away shyly from their current position. She blushed and looked up at him with a half smile, "Sorry..." She started to sit up, the impact of their circumstances dawning on her slowly. How was she supposed to get back to her room without raising questions? She groaned. "I should go back to my room…"

Zero sighed. "Right. I'll take care of it."

He opened his door and looked up and down the hallway. It was clear. Yuuki had moved behind him to try and peer out curiously, but he had already grabbed her hand and was heading for the stairs. Quickly and quietly he led her to the exit, pausing whenever there was someone ahead of them. Thankfully, it was still fairly early on a weekend and most of the students were sleeping in. Once at the door, he let her go.

"It would only look suspicious if we left together." He said quietly. Her concern was understandable, but somehow, it made him feel like the previous night hadn't counted as anything. He should have known, really. She was emotional and he had been the first one she saw. Nothing else. Though he didn't feel surprised and had expected her to forget, he still wasn't happy about it. He was better off alone. That was the kind of person he was.

"Okay, I'll see you later." Yuuki quickly kissed his cheek before taking off across the grounds to her dorm room, leaving Zero speechless, but smiling.

Once the door to her room was shut, Yuuki was able to breathe again. She was panting quietly, but was wearing a wide smile. Practically dancing to her dresser, she started to pick out some clothes for the day. She pulled out shirt after shirt, deciding that nothing was good enough. Picking out clothes had never been this difficult, she huffed as she slumped onto her bed. Smiling she remembered the night before and how she had never expected anything like that to happen.

Somehow, nothing felt different, but then everything did. It was also impossible for her to stop smiling. Allowing a few fanciful thoughts, she decided on an outfit then went to grab some breakfast. After eating she went to the boy's dorm, to wait for Zero.

The minutes ticked by and Yuuki was becoming impatient. Maybe he wasn't there…maybe he didn't think to wait for her. She clenched her fists. That would be so like him. She fumed. Getting an idea, she started her journey for the stables.

Zero put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. He decided that he wasn't going to think any more, since he only seemed to get things wrong. He was just going to let things happen. No assuming or jumping to conclusions. Easier said than done, but still, he didn't want to mess anything up. Yuuki was important enough from him to try. He doubted if any other girl would get him thinking this thoroughly on anything. There would be no second guessing or worrying if any other girl at school had shown interest. This, however, was Yuuki and the previous night she had forced him to realize what he had been trying to forget.

Things were going to be difficult. Zero smiled. He liked challenges.

"There you are!"

He was startled out of his musings, by a very angry Yuuki. Looking at her innocently, he tried to figure out what could be making her angry. It was already starting, he determined as he thought carefully about his words so as not to upset her further.

Yuuki stood over him with her arms crossed, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Uh…"

"I waited for you for forty-five minutes!"

"Waited?"

She put a hand to her forehead, sighing in impatience, "Yes. I was waiting for you outside your dorm room."

He wanted to ask why she would do that when they hadn't made any plans, but then, now he wasn't sure if that was something he should just assume. It was very confusing.

"I didn't know you would be waiting for me. I—"

"We are spending the day together, I hope you understand that." She snapped.

"I…yeah." He replied sourly. Somehow, this whole situation seemed backward and he felt that he hadn't actually done anything wrong, but he allowed her to win anyway.

She smiled, her anger completely forgotten, "So, what do you want to do?"

He was standing in front of her, his hand in his pocket, "Whatever you want to do." He decided. He really didn't care.

She put a finger to her chin, "Well, there isn't really much to do on a weekend around here…hmm."

It was going to be a long day.

Yuuki continued to think, "I wonder what couples normally do on weekends like this…"

Couples? He found his mood softening.

"You know what, let's just wing it. We can walk around until we decide. Okay?"

He started to smile. "I said whatever you wanted was fine."

She growled, "You can have an opinion too. It isn't always the girlfriend's job to decide everything. You, as the boyfriend, can't just go along with everything and not have an opinion." Her finger was in his face as she scolded him.

Zero was silenced by the word 'boyfriend.'

"Are you listening?" Yuuki asked, tapping her finger on his nose lightly.

"Yeah, understood." He said, brushing her hand away lightly.

Yuuki beamed, "Good."

The rest of their day passed by pleasantly enough, then Yuuki looked at him with a shy smile. Yuuki enjoyed just spending time with him without being in class or working as guardian. He didn't say much while they walked, but he was walking with her, which was something. Thankfully, the grounds were very quiet and they didn't run into anyone. It helped that they were avoiding the more populated places. Yuuki didn't want to have to deal with anyone yet. As the day grew later, Yuuki decided to voice on of her main concerns. "So…what are we going to do about everyone else?"

"What do you mean?"

"People in class are going to say something. We can't just walk in a not say anything." Yuuki didn't add her thoughts on what the night class students might say. She would worry about that later.

Zero shrugged, "What does it matter what they say or think?"

"It doesn't, but they are still our friends. " They were sitting beneath a tree, off the main path of the grounds. It was quiet and rather peaceful, but Yuuki was more concerned with controlling everything and having a plan. She hated not being prepared. "Maybe, we can just show up together and hope that people notice so we don't have to say anything."

Zero shook his head, "How about we let what happens happen?"

She hung her head, "Oh, Zero…that's a terrible idea." They sat in silence while Yuuki tried to think, her fingers tracing patterns in the grass. The previous night, they had been completely comfortable being near each other, now, it was a different matter. Their shoulders were touching, but other than that, there was very little contact between them. It was bordering on awkward, but without all the restless fidgeting. In this situation, neither one of them was willing to be the bold one.

Zero didn't disturb her process. He was entertaining some concerns of his own, but he didn't want to voice them to her. Zero decided that he would find out soon enough and that he didn't really want an answer now anyway. There was no point in causing an argument.

Yuuki grew frustrated and fell against him with a sigh, "Jeez, I didn't know this kind of stuff would be so hard."

He chanced putting a hand around her shoulder, "Don't worry about it then. We'll deal with it when the time comes."

Her face was hidden, so he couldn't see her smile.

They enjoyed a few more minutes of silence. Yuuki tilted her head and gave him a quick kiss on the jaw. "Thanks, I feel better."

"Yeah." He replied quickly.

"Hm." She smiled. Then she looked at the darkening sky. "We should head back."

"Sure." He grunted, masking his disappointment with indifference. As they walked, Yuuki reached out and grabbed his hand. They decided that it was best to say goodbye before reaching the dorm. When they were almost to the building, Zero turned to her, unsure of how to go about saying goodbye. He decided it was best to let Yuuki lead.

She didn't look too confident about things either. But she still turned to him boldly, "Goodnight." She said before tiptoeing to kiss him tenderly.

She had meant to pull away immediately, but her body had other plans. He didn't exactly make it easy on her, his hands gripped her waist and he carefully pulled her closer, her arms sliding around his neck with a content sigh.

The previous night, they had been running on auto-pilot. Just moving with what they were feeling. Now, their consciousness was getting in the way. They weren't experienced in physical relationships.

Still, neither was content to keep the kiss chaste. Taking the bold move this time, Yuuki opened her mouth slowly, almost breaking their connection before stroking his lips with her tongue. He didn't fight her and soon their sloppy attempt was becoming more and more complicated.

They were having trouble balancing breathing and hunger for each other. And their awkward attempts for air created noisy gasps and groans. All of the sensations flooding through their bodies were new and unexpected. Zero had already been forced into a wall as Yuuki tried to press closer. They were panting and sweaty.

It was Yuuki that finally pulled away. Each sharp exhale felt cold against his moist lips. Zero was still waiting for his heart to calm down and for his mind to clear.

"Goodnight." Yuuki whispered as she began to pull away. He held her in place, but then lost the confidence to keep her, and his arms slide to his sides. He was always alone. He should be used to it, but now he was beginning to appreciate the comfort she provided for him. Not clear of exactly how much he needed her, he was at least able to conclude that much. He felt better when she was near, and he didn't want to go back to his room alone to face another night of restlessness and pain.

"Night." Zero replied crisply, before turning away and leaving. It was easier than pleading with her not to leave, which is what he had wanted to do. He shook his head, trying to clear the muddled thoughts. Kissing her was beginning to have that affect on him, and he didn't really care for it. He couldn't lose sight of what was important. Of what he was becoming.

He shut his door and proceeded to the bed. He was being extremely selfish. Yuuki was optimistic; she was blind to anything that might be dangerous or negative. And even if she was aware she would convince herself that she could handle it and then take on whatever challenge it was. She could not be relied on in this matter. Zero was the one being irresponsible. He was allowing her fantasy to continue and he had done nothing to stop it. Because he didn't want to. Doing the right thing was easy enough in theory, but in practice he was having trouble. A girl that he cared about; no he more than cared about her, he could admit that much now, had taken his hand and declared them together. It harder to walk away from than he thought possible. But Yuuki was too trusting. He couldn't be trusted; he was no better than the night class, despite his distaste in admitting that fact.

Still, she was there. Yuuki, the girl who was kind and gentle, who had taken care of him when he had needed her despite his cold silence toward her treatment. She didn't take it personally, and she had always come back, always with that calm voice saying that she was there to help him. He didn't deserve her. Not as a friend or anything more.

All of this he knew and understood. Then he would see her face and she would take his hand or kiss him the way she had and his arguments and reasoning would lose all credibility. Now that he was no longer burying every thought about her, it was difficult to leave. His mind, even then, was wandering freely to the feel of her hands in his hair, her smile, her soft skin, her tiny moans, her taste. He grabbed at his hair, staring at his ceiling in anger.

What was wrong with him? He sighed. He wanted more. He wanted to be next to her right then. To be there when she was sad or to hold her hand while she was walking to class. It was a real mess he had gotten himself into and he began to debate if he could somehow keep it going. It went against everything, but he knew that he would have to try, because he wasn't able to walk away just then. He wasn't strong enough.

He released his hair in defeat. Truly beaten, he rolled over and tried to fall asleep. Yuuki's scent was still on his pillow and he threw it to the floor. He didn't need any more temptation that night. Throwing his head back he tried to get comfortable despite his frustration. As his eyes closed, his thoughts kept on a path that he couldn't deviate from, until he finally fell asleep.
