Just to mention, this is set after the anime, and a little after the current manga chapter.
"Yuuki, what are you doing?" Kaname's voice was passive. Yuuki glanced up from her work, startled. On her lap was an assortment of papers in every color of the world.
"Christmas cards," she chirped. "I know I can't mail them now, but when we leave, I want our friends to know that I never stopped thinking about them," without a thought, she continued working. Kaname's expression didn't change; it never did anyway.
"You know that's not what I meant. Why are you on the roof?" a chilly wind, carrying a sparse scatter of snowflakes, blew through the black air, rustling the two purebloods' hair. Unmindful of such matters, Yuuki did not bother to look up at her brother.
"It's a tradition. When Zero and I were little, he thought there was a vampire on the roof. I didn't believe him, but he insisted he was right. So, every year, we'd sit outside and wait. Zero would never admit it, but he'd fall asleep every time," she smiled faintly at the memory. "We never did catch him," she paused, glancing up slyly. "Hey, you wouldn't happen to have been the vampire we were looking for?"
Kaname turned his head away. There had indeed been times when he had snuck atop roofs to study Yuuki as she slept. However, it had been a good deal more often than one night a year. "If I had been, that man would never have noticed me in the first place."
Yuuki cringed. "Say his name, Kaname-senpai," it was Kaname's turn to cringe.
"Yuuki, you know I don't like it when you address me with that honorific. Call me Kaname, and only Kaname," Yuuki did not look at him. Her hands had stopped moving.
"Call him by his name, Senpai," there was a long pause. Kaname stared unblinkingly at the top of her head. The tension warmed the cold night.
"Zero wouldn't have noticed me in the first place," he said. And just like that, the tension melted. Yuuki giggled.
"No, he probably wouldn't have."
The two sat in unblinking silence. It was Kaname that ended it.
"Yuuki, you know it's not safe to be on the roof for too long. People might see you," inwardly the pureblood winced. He did so hate to disappoint his love in any way. "Come inside."
Yuuki did not budge. Kaname's diamond hard fangs rubbed against each other in annoyance.
"Yuuki-,"
"But Kaname, it's tradition," whined Yuuki, her voice carrying on the last syllable for a good three seconds. Her big, brown eyes stared up sadly. "Pleeeeeease."
Kaname gritted his teeth. Don't look into those eyes. You always say yes to those damn eyes.
Yuuki stared him down for a few more moments with her cute look before she realized it wasn't going to work. Huffing, hands one hand on her hip, and the other holding her half written cards, she stood and stormed off towards the edge of the roof.
"Fine, I'll go inside. But if there turns out to be a vampire on the roof, there'll be consequences! Terrible consequences," Kaname stared.
And then the pureblood realized something.
There's a vampire on the roof right now.
This one was smaller, but I think it was okay.
