"Human's should never be
turned into vampires." - Kuran Kaname
"This is the last straw, He has to be moved to the night class."
"But Kaname-"
"No buts anymore, he's about to finally lose it and I don't want him around Yuuki when he finally does!" Cross recoiled at the tone of the Purebloods voice.
The ex-hunter was at a loss for words. He didn't know how to go about this situation.
"Think about Yuuki's safety! Not only has he bitten her again but he put her into a coma! She was lost to us for over a week Cross! We're lucky she even woke up! He isn't safe around humans anymore!"
Kaname was right. Tired, blood shot eyes looked into storming wine coloured ones. The Pureblood's eyes looked like they could set him on fire with that stare alone but Cross felt cold inside.
He knew Zero had crossed the line and he had no choice but to punish him somehow.
"He'd be in good hands in the night class. I can keep him under control." Kaname's voice lowered. Eyes seeming calmer now and expecting an agreeable answer from the ex-hunter.
Cross looked away from the vampire in front of him, a sad look on his face. He let out a sigh.
"You're right. Zero will be moved into the night dorms however watch out for him. Make sure the other night class students at least try and be accommodating. This wasn't his fault."
"Thank you, you made a good choice. This is better for everyone." Kaname looked pleased, a slight smirk on his face. He finally got his way.
"He won't be happy though..."
Zero stood in front of Yuuki's door, hand ready to knock but mind racing.
He put his hand back down to his side, unsure whether he should bother her or not. He had to apologise but was scared of how she'd react.
Would she scream at him? Ignore him? Maybe she'd hit him. He wasn't sure but whatever she did, it couldn't be good and he would deserve every bit of abuse from her. So then why was he hesitating?
What if she fears him? Nothing could go back to the way it was before. He might as well end his life now before his heart completely gives out under the pressure.
His eyes started to water. No matter what, nothing will ever be right between them again. A single tear ran down his cheek.
"Heh, so beasts can cry..." Zero whispered to himself, a sad smile on his face, voice mocking. He looked miserable.
All hope lost, zero turned his back to her door, intent on getting as far away from her as possible until he heard the door behind him creak open.
"Zero?" A quiet, feminine voice spoke in a questioning voice behind him. The ex-human froze in place, unsure of what to do.
It was the voice he missed hearing more then anything.
"Zero! It's you! Where have you been?" Yuuki spoke in her usual upbeat voice, a slight hint of drowsiness lacing through it.
Zero turned his head seeing the smile on her face. This made him turn fully towards her, shock evident on his features.
"Yuuki..." He whispered incredulously. He couldn't believe how happy she looked to see him.
"You haven't visited me since I woke up 3 days ago! I was getting worried." She said, smile faltering with her words.
Zero took a moment to get a good look at her. She looked in much better condition since she woke up from her coma, still slight bags under her eyes and a bandage around her neck but the colour was back into her skin. Her body was half hidden behind the door.
"Are you alright? Are you feeling better?" The ex-human didn't bother replying to her last comment. She was his main concern.
"Yes yes! I feel a lot better now! Especially since you're finally here."
"You aren't scared of me?" Zero asked timidly.
Yuuki's face dropped a little, she let go of the door frame and crossed her arms, a form of defence from her true feelings.
"Don't be stupid! How could I be scared of you?"
"But what I did was unacceptable!" Yuuki's face turned serious, disagreement in her eyes.
"What you did was to be expected. I offered my blood to you and you weren't in control at the time. Nothing was your fault."
Zero went silent. He was staring at the floor.
"Well... I'm still sorry..." He mentioned in a small voice, pulling his head up to stare into her big, chocolate coloured eyes. Regret written allover his face.
"It's fine Zero." Yuuki gave a slight smile then hesitantly pulled him into her arms. She was scared, she couldn't lie to herself but she knew Zero wouldn't let this go if she didn't reassure him.
Zero held her tightly, almost scared that she'd let him go. Tears welled up in his lilac eyes. He hid his face in her shoulder. He didn't think she'd react this way.
Yuuki, a little uncertain and a little stiff put her hand gently onto his head, resting the other one around his body.
She had a sad but genuine smile on her face. If only she could forget all her fears for just that moment...
Hello reader! :)
Thank you for reading the first chapter of my first fanfiction. I hope you enjoyed it! If so please leave a review, I don't like begging for reviews but at this point in time I'm unsure if I should continue it. A good review will be a real push in the back for me to keep going.
The boys love will start soon as well, this is just something to get the story flowing. I love the pairing too much to write a fic without it.
