Chocolates and Candy

A/N: A Valentines Day gift for my favorite couple! This takes place after Riido was killed.

This is a holiday series and will be updated at major holidays.

Kaname was sitting in the middle of his class, thinking. It was rare for the pureblood to do so, but both teachers and his other classmates were too afraid to disturb him. Therefore, his thought process went undisturbed as the teacher droned on about chemistry.

What was our favorite pureblood pondering about? Why, Zero of course! What about Zero? Well, as Valentines Day was tomorrow, Kaname was thinking of the perfect present for the prefect.

The good old chocolates and candy? No, Zero did not like sweets that much. He would probably force himself to eat it when the pureblood was around to make Kaname happy, and Kaname wouldn't want that. He wanted to think of something that the hunter would enjoy; something that Zero would treasure.

Flowers? Well, first of all, he'd have to work very hard not to use his powers and make them wilt. But flowers suited Zero. The only bad thing was that even if Kaname did not use his powers and they lasted, flowers would naturally wilt on their own. No, flowers were not an option. There had to be a more suitable way to reward his lover.

A night of passion? Well, it was an option, but it would just seem like all the other nights. He was already making love to Zero almost every night, and doing it on a special night like Valentines Day would just seem repetitive.

Would a night out in the city suffice? No, Zero was not the outgoing type. He absolutely despised being out in public so a romantic night would undoubtedly turn into a stressed one. Kaname would also likely attract unwanted attention from the vampire community, which would spoil the night of fun. No, no matter which way you looked at it, it was a disaster waiting to happen.

Perhaps a walk in the moonlight would be nice. Zero would love that. Kaname could see the hunter now; his silvery-gray hair appearing white in the bright moon, pale skin that shimmered like the brightest diamonds, lilac eyes that smiled at the pureblood when Zero turned to look at him. Regrettably, although the idea was nice, Kaname had a hard time controlling himself when Zero was illuminated by the moonlight. Especially when Zero would smile at him, which in itself was rare. (Thankfully, for Zero's sake.)

Maybe the pureblood should invite the prefect to tea and cookies in the Moon Dorm. Zero would not like the idea of walking into the Moon Dorm, and the other vampires (even though they were too scared to say anything against Kaname's orders) would make Zero paranoid. And if Zero was paranoid, he would draw his gun, which in turn, would make all the vampires paranoid, which would probably lead to World War III.

Kaname sighed. There didn't seem to be anything other than making love to Zero available. He could buy a gift for Zero, such as a book on hunter charms, or one about vampires. Well, the hunter book would be a nice present, but finding a book that the hunter hadn't read would be a rather tedious task. A vampire book would lead to an argument and that would spoil the hunter's mood. Unless…

Kaname sat up suddenly, realization dawning in his eyes, drawing attention, but not really caring. He knew the perfect gift. It would bring the hunter closer to him and allow Zero to give a deeper insight to his life. It was something personal to him as well. And he could always get another one.

"Kuran-sama? Are you alright?" the teacher asked politely. The teacher felt honored to be in the presence of a pureblood, even teaching him. Many vampires would go through their entire life never meeting a pureblood because they were so rare, so the teacher thought it as a privilege.

"Sensei, May I be excused?" Kaname asked, although most purebloods would just walk out ignoring the teacher, "I do not feel so well." Forget that that was a lie, a blunt one too, his voice was firm and strong, but his tone told the teacher that it was something very important.

It was funny how one simple statement such as that one could elicit such an immediate response. Maybe because it was a pureblood saying it, or the way he said it. Regardless, the entire class erupted into respectful exclamations.

"Kaname-sama," Aido said in a rushed voice, "Are you thirsty? Do you need blood?" He pulled his sleeve back, revealing peach colored skin and offering it to the pureblood. He wasn't the only one. Many people followed suit, pulling open their collars or pulling back their sleeves.

"Kaname-sama," Ruka started, "Shall I escort you to the nurse's office?"

"There is no need for that," Kaname said politely, "I just have a headache, that's all." He waved Ruka and the other vampires away. Ever since Kaname had drunk Zero's blood, he had no desire for any others.

"Enough!" The teacher ordered, "Yes, Kuran-sama, you may be excused."

Kaname stopped on the way out and turned to the teacher, "I will not be attending class tomorrow. I have some important business to attend to."

Takuma understood what that meant, but he was the only one who did. Whenever Kaname missed class, he was sure that the pureblood was trying to woo Zero. He had seen how his childhood friend had looked at the prefect and was quite alarmed that none of the other vampires could understand the longing and want that hung in the pureblood's gaze when he looked at the hunter.

Kaname left, ignoring the confused and wondrous stares behind his back. He had to plan for tomorrow.

Valentines Day…

One of Zero's most hated holidays. Forget the actual holiday itself; the fangirls were rowdy for about a week before the holiday was even here! They tried, unsuccessfully, to give the Night Class their presents. Thwarted by Zero, they still would not give up!

Zero, like Kaname, was wondering what he should give to his lover. He knew that Kaname liked simple presents and usually appreciated anything that the hunter gave him, unless it was a hunter charm. But Valentines Day was special and Zero wanted it to be between the two of them. Zero did not have as much trouble thinking up of a present as Kaname.

Of course, he would have to plan out his present too, and he had significantly more work that the pureblood did. He would have to go out to town today and buy some materials. He would also have to use some of his vampiric powers, which Kaname loved seeing Zero do. Zero would do almost anything to make the pureblood happy, unless he thought that he would become more inhuman. Being around Kaname had unexpectedly changed his behavior towards vampires in general for the better. He was able to see that not all vampires were 'bad', just as not all hunter or humans were 'good'.

Zero sighed, wondering if he should go now, or later. It would be bad if Kaname was waiting for the hunter in his room, because that might spoil the surprise. The hunter came to the conclusion that he would decide what he should buy first, run to the market tomorrow and buy the stuff and come back around the afternoon to start preparing. Zero would let his lover sleep until nightfall, and coax him into following him (God knows that Kaname can't resist doing anything if Zero asked him to) and show him then.

He was sure that Kaname would be surprised, but he wasn't sure if Kaname would enjoy it. He had already asked the chairman for his cooperation and got a rather lively 'yes'. Zero couldn't possibly do the entire thing himself. In addition to the chairman, he needed Yuuki to be able to take care of the crazy fangirls for a day. Yuuki, at first, freaked and asked why, but when Zero had told her, she also agreed with a happy 'yes'.

The hunter finished his rounds and headed back to his room. He opened his own door and blinked. Kaname was in his room all right, but he was fast asleep on his bed. It was a rare occurrence that Zero was taken aback by the lack of lust Kaname usually displayed. It was not unwanted though. Normally he would love a break from the over passionate pureblood, but not today.

Zero dropped his backpack on the chair at his table. He smiled, knowing the best way to wake up the pureblood. He half-crawled on top of Kaname, surprised that the pureblood didn't wake up. He must've been really tired when he got here.

Zero placed his forehead on Kaname's neck and gave it a slow lick. It was the most sensitive place on Kaname's body since Zero pierced that area many times before. Kaname's eyes shot wide open in surprise and shock. Kaname gripped the hunter's shoulders and groaned, half wondering what brought up the boy's new delicious mood.

"Zero…" Kaname murmured, loving the way that the hunter's tongue was tracing up his neck. Zero rarely approached Kaname for anything; not even blood. But between them, it had become a game of hunter and prey. Ironically, Zero was the prey and Kaname was the hunter. Kaname had an unfair advantage because Zero was an ex-human. To counter that, Zero was using hunter spells to thwart Kaname in any way possible. Still, the pureblood somehow always won anyway. And every time Zero would admit it with a huff and Kaname would claim his prize.

But this advance was completely unexpected. Not unwanted, but… Kaname knew Zero was getting more comfortable with their relationship. He suspected that Zero was getting tired of being the prey all the time.

"Hi Kaname," Zero purred out the pureblood's name slowly, "What are you doing, running into someone else's dorm room snoozing?" He felt more… playful today than usual, "Kaname, make love to me."

Kaname froze for a second and wondered if Zero was on drugs or something. Did he not get enough sleep? Did he hit his head and go crazy? "Zero? Are you okay…?" Bluntly, he wondered if it was something he did. He knew that he was usually over-passionate and sometimes hurt Zero, but that was just how vampires made love. Could Zero's attitude now be a result?

"You're slow, Kaname," Zero groaned, unbuttoning the pureblood's shirt, aching to touch Kaname's beautiful pale skin, "This isn't like you. Normally you'd be the one jumping all over me when I walk in the door. Maybe you need a little inspiration…"

The pureblood sucked in a sharp breath when Zero's mouth nipped his bite area.

That was the last straw. Kaname couldn't take it anymore.

The pureblood flipped Zero over, pinning the hunter to his own bed. Zero was so beautiful like this; his silver white hair flaring against the even whiter sheets; his lavender eyes glittering with anticipation and lust; his body slightly flushed and aroused; his blood flowing powerfully through his beautiful body…

It was enough to drive Kaname crazy with need. He had come here for some decent rest, but it seemed as if he was going to get a much different, much more rewarding prize.

Zero moaned slowly as Kaname nipped down the hunter's neck, sucking and licking the smooth skin there. The hunter fought to recompose himself from the squishy mess Kaname had made out of him, mainly to play, "Don't get cocky, pureblood."

"And you, my dear hunter," Kaname said, just as playfully, "should know the consequences of crossing a pureblood vampire." The said pureblood was slowly stripping the ex-human, while pinning him down with his mind. Zero was struggling against his invisible bonds.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food?" Zero asked, mentally pushing against Kaname's binds. For the first time, the hunter was winning against Kaname at his own game. With one well placed mental hunter charm, Zero successfully shattered Kaname's hold on his body. The pureblood flinched in shock and surprise when Zero flipped Kaname on his back.

"And now… it is my turn to get the prize."

"Humph, no way," Kaname said spinning Zero back into the mattress, "That was one of the simpler charms," the pureblood lied. Truthfully, that charm was one of the charms that only purebloods knew how to use. Kaname was not sure how much power Zero possessed and starting him on a weaker charm might've been insulting to the proud hunter. Besides, rendering the hunter immobile when Zero was in such delicious mood was too tempting to resist.

Zero glared and huffed, his cheeks puffing cutely. Well in Kaname's opinion it was cute. Lilac eyes flared in irritation at being taken lightly and his moonlit white skin flushed slightly to show embarrassment.

"Do you know what tomorrow is?" Kaname whispered seductively.

"Did you think that the fangirls would let me forget?! I've gotten sick of all the squeaking, squealing, shouting, screaming and constant work I get from my guardian duties," Zero complained, "Honestly, it's like trying to quiet dozens of banshees--"

"Is this my Valentines Day gift?" Kaname cut through the ranting effortlessly, "Well, if it is I enjoy it very much, even if it is a day early." He trailed his hand up and down the hunter's body, slowly undoing every button and zipper that prevented the pureblood from seeing the pearly white skin Zero possessed. Kaname nuzzled into the column of Zero's beautiful neck and resisted the urge to bite down.

Zero frowned in anticipation. He still hadn't gotten used to the whole 'being a vampire' thing or the 'way vampires made love'. It was much different than the way humans or hunters made love; much more violent. When Kaname had first told Zero, the hunter was slightly disgusted, but now he understood. Vampires got off on pain and bloodshed, especially from their mates. The times that Zero had to avoid the pureblood because of a paper cut…

Zero knew that Kaname would never drink from him unless the hunter specifically allowed him, but it didn't erase the paranoia that there was a pureblood at his neck. "No, it's not your gift. I felt bored and…"

"I see," Kaname said. Honestly, an excuse like that… It didn't matter though. Kaname would've probably done the same thing. "Then allow me to give you my Pre-Valentines Day gift, Zero," the pureblood purred, letting his hands roam freely on the silky smooth skin of the hunter.

Zero shut his eyes tightly, his body arching up to press against the pureblood. God, he loved it when Kaname did that. Kaname exhaled slowly, grinding their arousals together. His body jumped to a whole new level of arousal as Zero gave out a groan of impatience.

"My pureblood pride won't allow it," Kaname whispered his voice dripping sex; "You cannot top me."

"Damn pride," Zero murmured slowly, "You're too arrogant."

The pureblood chuckled and said, "Who knows. One day, you might be worthy enough to top me. But at your current state, I do the work. You just sit back and relax…"

"Who can relax when--?!" Zero stopped abruptly as Kaname slid his already slick fingers into his entrance. Typical; the pureblood was prepared when he entered Zero's room.

The hunter moaned slowly when Kaname probed his fingers around, trying to find the area that would drive the hunter crazy. The pureblood smiled into Zero's skin as he found it. Zero trembled in pleasure underneath him. God… Didn't Zero know how much his reactions fueled Kaname's desires? Kaname covered Zero's erection in his mouth and began to draw quickly while pushing abusively into the hunter's prostrate.

Zero could've sworn he had died and gone to heaven. He gripped the sheets under himself tightly and moaned, his hips automatically jerking up deeper into the warm moist cavern of Kaname's mouth. Kaname went deeper but then suddenly withdrew, leaving Zero aroused and very frustrated.

"Kaname, you little-" Zero started, but stopped when Kaname was looking at his body. The hunter flushed scarlet and Kaname began undressing himself. The pureblood threw his shirt and pants aside, his eyes trailing up Zero's beautiful body.

Kaname laced his clean hand with Zero and used his other hand to support his weight. As far as he could tell, the hunter was ready for this. He slid in without much trouble and stopped, watching Zero's face for any sign of discomfort or pain. When he didn't see either of them, Kaname started moving, slowly and carefully.

Zero pressed back, his arousal brushing against Kaname's stomach. Kaname had taken him so many times before, but each time was an experience of its own. His body welcomed Kaname without much trouble, but Zero still felt the thrill that shot through him at the thought of Kaname being so close to him. Zero gripped Kaname's hand tightly when Kaname brushed against the pleasure spot inside him and pulled the brunette down to his level.

Kaname had to support himself with his elbow to keep from collapsing on Zero. The boy was so unbelievably sensitive, so pure, so tight, and so demanding at the same time. Didn't Zero know that Kaname would do anything for him? Didn't Zero know that Kaname couldn't resist the unexplainable lure in the hunter's voice when Zero spoke? Didn't Zero know that Kaname was helpless against the boy's love and caring nature?

Zero was the only thing that Kaname could touch without dirtying it. The hunter's light was too powerful; it had already begun to purify the pureblood's dark and tainted life. Yuuki he had to be careful around. She was a flower in need of protection, but Zero had no such limitations. Kaname could not compare Zero to a flower; he was more sublime than any flower, purer than any gem; perfect.

Kaname may have been higher class in the social hierarchy of the Vampire World, but he was so easily controlled by this silver haired beauty. Zero had more power over him than anyone else in the world. If Zero truly wished something, then Kaname would do anything and everything to get it. That was a pureblood's love.

Kaname lowered his head as Zero wished. The pureblood didn't care if it was degrading to his pride anymore. He used to, but Kaname had learned that his pride meant so little to this hunter that controlled his life. But Zero did something that Kaname didn't quite expect.

He kissed him.

Slowly, carefully, firm, demanding, powerfully and burning… Kaname felt so many different emotions, while Zero's mouth moved against his. The gesture of warmth filled him with so much happiness that it was nearly overflowing. Their bodies continued to move, faster and harder as the kiss continued. Zero broke the kiss to throw his head back in pleasure, "Ahhhh Kaname!"

Kaname moaned out Zero's name slowly, watching Zero try to contain his screams from the mind blowing pleasure. Oh god—He couldn't stand it. Zero's body was pressed warmly against him; Zero's blood flowing … It was all the pureblood could think of at the moment.

Kaname licked the skin at Zero's bite area and the hunter exposed his neck a little more as an invitation. Kaname deliberately exposed his neck to the hunter as he leaned over to bite. Kaname's eyes glittered like rubies and Zero's sparkled like amethysts. The pureblood bit carefully as he moved quicker into Zero's body and the hunter groaned, sinking his sharp little fangs into the soft skin of Kaname's neck.

Zero trembled, feeling close to the edge as Kaname pushed into his body harder and faster. He felt dizzy with pleasure, weak from blood loss but, at the same time, strong from the amount of blood he was receiving from Kaname. Zero gripped the pureblood's hair and hand tightly, releasing all over their stomachs.

Kaname was in an equal amount of pleasure and pain. He pulled back, just to watch Zero's face as he climaxed and came as well, pouring his warm seed into Zero's body.

Both vampires were panting hard, but Zero recovered faster than Kaname. The hunter brought their lips together in a bloody harsh kiss. Kaname opened his mouth eagerly to welcome the hunter's intrusion. The heated kiss lasted for a bit but then Zero broke away, sighing into the white sheets of his bed.

Kaname sighed too, but it was in a contented manner. Zero's attitude and request had put him in a good mood. He looked deviously at the hunter and murmured, "I'm ready for a second round. You up for it?"

Zero shifted slightly to face the pureblood and found out that Kaname was still inside him, "I'm okay with that."

"Great," Kaname purred and moved both of them to his grand bed in the Moon Dorm. Zero had gotten used to Kaname transporting both of them back and forth between rooms; he just wished that Kaname would put on some clothes before he moved them.

--

Kaname wasn't done with him until late morning the next day. Zero had figured that he might as well forget about his gift. He needed time and it seemed that the horny pureblood wasn't going to give him any. Zero fell asleep having released multiple times due to Kaname's actions.

Kaname was tired too. It had been a while since Zero had allowed Kaname to do whatever he wanted to his body. And it had been incredible.

The pureblood sat up, brushing the bangs out of Zero's exhausted face. He had to wrap his Valentines Day gift. He stood up and froze when Zero shifted behind him.

"Kaname?" Zero mumbled sitting up slightly. The sheet slid off the hunter's sunlit kissed skin and Kaname let his eyes wander. "Come back to bed. It's cold without you," Zero mumbled, blushing slightly and looking away. The lack of sleep was making him saying foolish things.

Kaname picked up a small black book and handed it to Zero. The hunter looked up when he saw the book being stuffed under his nose.

"Happy Valentines Day, Zero," Kaname said, slipping back into the bed and snuggling beside the silver haired boy, "Open it."

The hunter marveled at the black covering and opened the book, unclasping the book. He read the first page:

December 14

Takuma gave me this book as an early Christmas gift. I guess he thought that I would like it. Honestly, what am I going to write in here? Maybe this'll be my diary for all of my interactions with Zero. God, I swear he's gotten really cute.

December 16

Today was an okay day. Not like yesterday where I had to go to the Vampire Council to clear up a ton of stuff that Riido left behind. I am waiting for class to start again. I can't stop thinking about Zero. I look out the window to try and spot him.

Ah! There he is. He looks as beautiful as he always does. The moonlight really brings out the paleness of his skin and the silky silver hair. He looks like he's in pain and it hurts me too. I have to remember to go to him later.

December 17

Zero was so beautiful today. I am watching him sleep as I write this entry. His face is relaxed in sleep and he seems tired. We made love today too and Zero wasn't as eager as he usually is. I wonder if something happened to him. Maybe he isn't feeling well.

December 18

I was right.

Zero was sick. I can't believe I didn't notice it! Stupid, stupid, stupid me! I saw the signs but didn't do anything about them. He's in my room right now sleeping on my bed with a fever. I guess he's more human than I thought him to be. I can't remember the last time I got sick. It was probably a long time ago.

I'm watching his unusually pale skin pale even more. I have to heal him! But giving him blood wouldn't be a good idea. I don't know how his body would react to vampire blood in this situation.

Maybe I'll just stay with him until he gets better.

December 20

Zero is finally feeling better. Yay! His face has regained some color even though he still sleeps a lot. Kross wanted Zero to be removed to the infirmary but I refused. I can't sleep properly unless Zero is next to me. Besides it's partially my fault that he's sick.

Zero really is beautiful. His hair is fanning against my pillow and he's curled up against my sheets. His face is relaxed and he's slumbering quietly. If I get in my bed now, I know it'll be warm. Zero warms it for me. I'd never want to get out of bed.

Time to sleep. I have to make it up to Zero tomorrow.

--

Zero flushed as he finished the first page. He looked up into Kaname's smirking face. He mumbled an embarrassed, "Thanks."

Kaname smiled, happy that his gift was well received. The flush in Zero's face just made the silver haired man all the more adorable. The pureblood couldn't help but wrap both arms around the boy in a hug.

Zero smiled gently, his form softening. He returned the hug and smiled at the diary. Kaname had trusted him with something this important. Kaname had poured his heart out to him. Kaname had allowed him to see a personal part of his life that no one had ever seen before. This made the hunter feel special.

"I was going to make you Valentines Day dinner," Zero started, "But as you can see we got a little distracted. So I'll give this to you instead." Zero pushed the pureblood away reluctantly and tapped into his vampire powers gently and grew some silver vines with white roses. The hunter plucked a few and gave the banquet to Kaname, smiling. "Sorry, this is all I can do right now."

Kaname took the banquet and smiled, "I love it. Zero you know I'd love anything that you gave me. Especially if you use your powers for me." The pureblood sniffed the flowers, loving the scent of Zero on them. Kaname had learned that Zero's flowers didn't wilt unless something was wrong with Zero. Kaname lay next to Zero enjoying the scent and aura that the silver one gave off.

Zero blushed and closed his eyes, placing an arm around Kaname's body. Kaname did the same still clutching the roses that Zero gave him. The diary fell to the floor, but neither of them noticed. Both had fallen asleep on the bed.

They didn't need chocolates or candy to make them happy; each other was more than enough.

The diary opened to the last entry:

February 13

I have decided to give this book to the one I love the most in the world. Zero, please take care of this little book, that I've poured all my feelings for you into. I'm sure you feel the same way for me as I do for you. Our love will surpass all obstacles.

Zero, I love you.

Kaname

Happy Valentines Day!

A/N: It's a day late, I know. But at least I got it out, right?

Read and review; as always!
