Bond Of Blood

Ch. 2

Days went by, as Zero continuously stayed in bed. The fever was worse than first expected, and Zero had to admit, that he must have disappointed Kaname, due to what he had told him that night. It bothered him, if he had to tell the truth, but what could he do? Both Yuuki and the chairman had ordered him to stay in bed. So there he was, in bed, although he wanted to see him. He wanted to see him so badly, even if it was just for a moment. Since that night, his thoughts of him had increased. He wanted to touch him, that soft skin. But he could only think about touching him, Kaname would never let him.

Days went on with thoughts like this, but finally he was allowed back on duty, and for once, he looked forwards to it. Now he finally got the chance to see him again! Kaname… He had been on his mind for days now, and he couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to see him, even if he just got a cold glare as usual. He didn't care, really, as long as he got to see him. The dark eyes, the silky, brown hair, his elegant walk. All this, he looked forwards to see. And he arrived just in time, for as he did, the doors to the dorm opened. As usual, Kaname was the first to walk through the doors, and Zero, well, he pretended to keep the girls under control. But they were scared of him, so it was very easy for him to keep them away. For a second he looked away, but he looked right up again, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned around, just to discover that it was Kaname's hand on his shoulder. His pale cheeks turned pink, oh god, what was he supposed to say to him? His mind went blank, as the pureblood opened his mouth to let out that sweet, soft voice of his. "How are you feeling, Kiryuu-kun? You have been away for quite some time…" Zero was silence, searching for words, until he finally found the right ones to say "I feel fine, thank you… Hurry up and go to class!" He closed his eyes, way to go, Zero! Why did you reply in such a harsh tone? He could have kicked himself, as he watched Kaname and the rest of the night class walk away, he regretted his words.

The dark was heavy, as he slowly sat down on the ground, his back leaning against a tree. He wanted to say thank you to Kaname, and yet he had answered him like that. He couldn't forgive himself. As he sat there, thinking, the person he thought about, sat down next to him. Zero looked up, why was he here? What did he want? Yell at him? But no, the pureblood had other things in mind. He let his hands stroke the white hair, as he looked into his eyes. Zero was paralyzed. What was he doing? He soon got the answer, as he felt the cool lips press against his, his eyes widened. He never expected this. Wasn't his love a one-sided love? Or was that just what he had convinced himself that it was? Maybe he had been wrong all along. He didn't know, but he did know, that his heart now raced in his chest. He didn't know what he should do, but he convinced himself, that he should return the kiss, and so he did. But not for long, his hands moved by themselves, as they pushed the pureblood away. No, he didn't want to leave, why did he do that?! He got on his feet and started to run. No, turn around, this is not what you are supposed to do! He screamed at himself, as he ran into his own dorm. For god's sake, Zero. You're an idiot.
