Zero stared at me, bloody rose pointed out towards me. I knew this day would come, and I was going to accept it. I stood there, staring into his eyes.
He looked away, clenching his jaw and closing his eyes. "Why…why are you not moving!?" he screamed. I looked down at the snow, and then back at him. "I've accepted my fate." I said appeared in front of him, pressing the gun to my heart. "Zero, do it." I whispered.
He kept his eyes closed, his face turned away. "I…can't." he whispered back, his fingers trembling on the trigger.

I sighed and then appeared behind Zero, hugging him. "How did it get to this…" he said dropped his arm, so that the gun was pointed down at the snowy ground.
I knew exactly how it got to this. It all started that one night…I was walking through the snow, just like today.

A few months earlier…

The snow was so cold; I really should have brought my jacket, instead of relying on my jumper. I breathed out, my breath turning into some kind of steam or whatever it was called.
I glanced up and looked around. I hadn't been in this part of the Academy before.

I continued forward getting further and further away from anything familiar. As I did, I noticed that there were more trees, and even more snow. "It's awfully…pretty." I whispered touching one of the trees. They were all darkly coloured, almost like out of a fairy-tale.
"What are you doing here?"
I turned and immediately looked down as the beautiful boy in front of me kept his eyes on me. Zero Kiryuu was one of the guardians, which meant I was in trouble.
"I…I'm sorry…I didn't know it was off limits." I said and sighed brushing my hair away from my face. "I always make mistakes like this at places I'm fairly new at."
He walked over to me and rubbed his neck. "It's not off limits…"
"Then why would you care if I'm here or not?" I asked looking up at him. Zero walked closer and looked down. "No one comes here, it's my spot." He said looking back up. I folded my arms and then shook my head as a grin washed over my lips. "I cannot believe how childish you are… you can't own a place." I said this time meeting his beautiful purple eyes.
"I cannot believe how much of a spine you have." He said folding his arms now.
I sat down and then lay back on the snow. "I'm staying here whether you like it or not." I said and took in a deep breath. It was even colder lying down in the snow. I wasn't going to last long.

Zero rolled his eyes and bent down towards me. "You'll get sick." He said looking down at me.
I looked up keeping my eyes as serious as possible and spoke, "No, I won't. I will be fine."
Zero folded his arms and tugged at my skirt, making me flush. "You're wearing a skirt, a shirt and a jumper. Are you sure you aren't going to get sick." He asked me.
I hit his hand that was tugging my skirt and folded my arms. "Just shut up!" I said and looked up at the sky.

After a few seconds Zero threw his jacket at me. "Just get it on before you get sick." He said sitting down properly, and leaning against a tree.
"Zero, you stupid, arrogant…" I sat up and looked at him. He was now just in his white cotton button up sleeve shirt. "Zero…you'll get sick now." I said handing it back to him.
He put it on and then took my wrist. "Come closer." He said then against my will he pulled me to himself wrapping his arms around me.
Definitely warmer. I thought to myself.
"Warmer yet?" he asked.
I bit my lip wishing that my voice didn't crack as I spoke. It was a very awkward position. "Yes." I replied. Zero tightened his grip and steadied his breathing. "Good." He said and then relaxed.
I leaned against him and yawned. The day was coming to an end. I would've gone by now, but it would be very awkward to get up.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
I nodded and closed my eyes. "Just a bit…" I whispered. I yawned again and cuddled up to him. I knew he wouldn't like it, but I didn't care. I was so comfortable, and I was too tired to do anything else.

Zero's P.O.V

I think she was asleep.
I looked down at her and tried to fight the smile tugging at my lips. The first few months or her arrival, I watched over her, making sure she was out of harm's way.
She twitched and clutched my shirt. "Don't…don't hurt me." She whispered.
My urge to smile stopped. I wanted to stay with her a bit longer, but she really was getting cold.

I moved from her, so I could pick her up, but her grasp got tighter on my shirt. "Please…" she whispered. She was still asleep, I was sure of it.
"I won't…I promise." I whispered and tried to pick her up. I stood up, with her in my arms and held her tight to myself. "You have my word." I replied and began walking. She didn't speak after that.

As I walked through the girls sun dorms with her in my arms, I felt odd. I would never do this, and I knew that, yet I was doing it for her. The funny thing was I didn't even know her name.
"Zero!"
Yuki wasn't far behind me. I didn't have patience for her anymore. After this girl got to the school, I no longer cared for Yuki the way I did before.
"Yuki, leave me alone." I said and made my way into the girl's dorm. It was tidy, and everything seemed perfectly in place.
"Zero, you aren't allowed in here!" she said, stopping when she saw her in my arms. "Zero…you didn't…" I cut her sentence off and glared at her. "I would never ever do that to her Yuki."
Yuki watched me put her onto her bed and then pulled away. "Zero, do you need blood? You haven't been taking any of mine…" she said taking a step closer.
I held up a hand and looked at her. "No," I said and walked past her. She sighed and followed me closing the door behind her.
