Breathless
I stood before the cave, to think that two weeks ago I was a day class student at Cross Academy. It's hard to believe now that I'm a Pureblood! His words rushed through my mind. "The next time we meet, I'll kill you."
I meant what I said when I told him that I'd run from him forever if I had to. To be honest though, that was the last thing that I wanted to tell him. I wanted to tell him that I would stay by his side and comfort him like I always have.
That doesn't matter now, no matter how much I thought or wished I could change things I can't turn back time, let alone my existence in the world. I was born a Pureblood, the one thing that Zero hates more than anything else.
"Yuki is something the matter? You seem distant." Kaname said with such gentleness I almost felt guilty for thinking of Zero.
"Yes, I'm fine!" I blurted out.
I wasn't used to being this close with Kaname. I've been always looking at him from a distance but now, like this, it's like a dream come true. With one final squeeze of his hand he led me into the cave. We walked in silence which made it seem like eternity, until he finally spoke.
"Do you have a lot on you mind?" I froze at his words, what should I say? I had to come up with something fast because he was waiting for my answer.
"Um, yes, but no. Where are we heading to?"
"Back to our home Yuki." Kaname turned to me with a sweet smile and tenderly kissed my cheek.
I instantly turned red. He held my face gently in his hands them whispered quietly in my ear, "You are so easy to read."
With one swift motion he held my mind again, and we continued walking. If I had to come up with one word to describe the way Kaname made me feel it would be Breathless. We came to a stop. Kaname turned to me and said "Welcome home."
He held the door open for me. I looked into his eyes, and I could tell he had been waiting a long time to say that. I couldn't help but turn around to see the cave entrance.
All I saw was my past behind me, and my future stood right before my eyes.
I looked over to Kaname ready to face the Journey in front of me. I took Kaname's hand and we walked through the doors together.
