At the end of the long corridor was a room, and in it was a large bed. "Shall we?" Zero asked, holding Yuki in his arms...
Yuki looked at Zero with glowing eyes, "Zero... Are you trying to replace him?" She asked. Zero's eyes fixed on Yuki's, his knees almost buckling from the question asked. He breathed in slowly and smiled, "...I could never replace Kaname. I love you very much, and he would have wanted this if his life was to end. He always told me to protect you, you know that?" He stopped for a minute and let out a dry laugh, "Obsessive bastard." He mumbled, setting Yuki down on the bed. She sat up, "Why do you always call him a bastard!?" She screamed, her eyes burning with rage. Zero rolled his eyes, "A few minutes ago you called him a traitor. Why change your mind?" He looked down and scowled, "You still love him, don't you?" He said in a weak voice, walking torwards the door.
"No, I don't... I love Zero."
Zero looked back with a look of confusion, "Then why do you still talk about him? Why can't you just forget he existed!?" He said, leaning back against the door and falling to the floor, putting his hands on his face, "He put us through torture! Have you forgotten?!" His teeth started to show in the moonlight. Yuki looked at him, "You can't just forget him, in the end...he was like a brother..." She said, quietly, looking down. Zero's eyes widened, "I would suppose your right." He sighed a slow breath. Yuki looked down, a look of hurt in her face, "If you love me, why do you yell so much? It makes me want to cry...What hurts you the most? What makes you yell at me?"
"I want it just to be me and you, forever"
Yuki got up and and opened his knees, looking at his face, "What did you say?" She asked, her eyes glowing again. Zero grasped her and held her gently, "I want to be with you forever. No matter what. I want to be your lover, I want to hold you until we die... And when we do, I'll still be there for you. I've always wanted this, ever since I met you..." He leaned his head on Yuki's shoulder, feeling her shiver. Yuki stared off into space for a couple minutes, then gathered her thoughts, "Me too. I'll stay with you forever, but you have to promise me one thing..." She said, smiling. Zero looked up, "This sounds sneaky..." He said, smiling, his eyes glowing with pride for the first time in a long time. "You're going to cook breakfast for me when I'm a mom." She said, laughing. Zero blushed and nodded, "Deal."
Zero picked up Yuki and laughed harder, "It's midnight, and I'm not a wink tired!" He said, and Yuki grinned a coy smile, "I have a few things to do tonight..."
