Normal POV

Zero woke up and noticed Kaname sitting on the couch in the office. He was currently looking over the paperwork that Zero had done the night before. "Hey sorry for coming in here-" Zero was interrupted by Kaname raising his hand. For a moment there, he thought that Kaname was going to be mad at him, even after he did everything to finish the paperwork. Kaname got up from his seat and walked in front of the desk. "How long did it take you to do this," he asked while pointing at the paperwork in his hand. Zero looked at the clock in Kaname's office and said, "I finished about two hours ago." Kaname stared at him before turning around and walking towards the door. He paused and said, "Well then, I will go and fetch you some breakfast and then you shall go to get some well deserved rest. Also thank you for your help." Kaname turned and gave Zero a smile that took his breath away. "Wait! I have to start the day. Kemi needs to go to her lessons-" Zero was going to continue with his list of things to do but Kaname gave him a look that meant there was no room for discussion.

Kaname walked towards the kitchen and stopped when seeing Daisuke preparing a basket with food. "What is this." Kaname asked as he started serving Zero's food. "Oh, I'm just re-heating the food that Zero prepared last night and putting it inside a basket like he asked me to do last night," Daisuke answered not turning away from what he was doing. Kaname stopped and looked over at him, "he prepared food last night?" "Yes, he told me he was doing this, going to finish some paperwork for you, and plan your day with Akemi so that you guys had no worries and can enjoy a nice day together." Kaname nodded and started walking out the kitchen, almost forgetting Zero's food, and walked back to his office. When he walked in, Zero had his head on the table. He put the food, which was scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, and poked Zero on the head. Zero started eating when he heard, "I will accompany Akemi to her classes. "Great! I can prepare a bag for Kemi, help out around the mansion, then go clean out White Lily's stall and go work on the garden." Zero then started eating quicker, practically shoving food down. "Zero, I want you to rest." "No, I'm ok. I used to not sleeping much. Now come on let's go wake up Kemi." Zero said after he finished eating and a maid came and took his plate, refusing to let Zero take it downstairs.

Zero grabbed Kaname's hand and rushed out of the office. At first Kaname was shocked but then, he snapped grabbed Zero's hand tighter, causing a shade of pink to spread on Zero's cheeks. Kaname and Zero walked with a slight smile on their faces when Seiren saw them. She took a picture of them and forward a max text, with the words "Progress" written on the bottom.

Zero POV

I didn't realize I was holding Kaname's hand until I felt him hold mine tighter. I couldn't stop myself from blushing and hopped that it would go away before Kaname noticed. We passed by Seiren and I could have sworn that I heard a click go off, sounding like one from a camera. We finally arrived at Kemi's door and for some reason I felt a little hurt when he pulled his hand back. I walked in and turned on the light, causing Akemi to stir but not wake up. I stood on the side and motioned towards Kaname to wake her up. Kaname hesitated but slowly went towards Akemi and lightly shook her. I smiled as he saw Kaname bend down and whisper to Akemi to wake up. Finally, her eyes opened, "Morning Zero," Akemi said while rubbing her eyes. She assumed that I was the one who woke her. Kaname kissed her on the forehead after saying, "no it's daddy." Akemi faced went from shocked to extremely happy and she jumped on Kaname, giving him lots of kisses. "Daddy! You woke me up today!" Kaname just smiled at her and kissed her back. I walked up to them and leaned in to kiss Akemi on the cheek. What I didn't except was Akemi moving her head, which caused me to end up kissing Kaname on the cheek. Kaname tensed and I blushed as I coughed and turned away. "Kemi, it's time for your bath," I said as I tried to grab Akemi away from Kaname, but her pulled back and said he would bathe her.

I smiled as he looked at Kaname's retreating back and started to pack a bag for Akemi with different articles clothing and small toys for later on today. As I heard the water running, Akemi's giggling and Kaname's light chuckle, I stacked up the books that Akemi would need for her lessons. Kaname walked back in a few minutes later, carrying Akemi and twirled her around before placing her on the bed. "Ok you two, time to get Kemi ready," I said as I tried to grab her but once again Kaname didn't allow. Kaname started helping Akemi put her clothes on, while I started doing her hair. About three minutes later, we were done and walking out the door.

I elbowed Kaname, causing him to look over, and said "how does it feel to be the first one today to see your daughter smile and knowing you were the one to cause it?" Kaname smile, "it felt great, I guess I should try to did more often."

Kaname's POV

"It seems I'm making progress then," Zero said as he started walking passed me smiling. "But you can't lie, we make a pretty good team," he said as he turned to look at me and gave me a wide smile. His smile was so contagious and for some reason I'm glad I was the one to cause it.

Zero parted ways with us and went to help Chiye carry some laundry. I took Akemi to her first class, but I wasn't paying attention, all I could think about was Zero's lips on my cheek. I came back to reality, when Akemi told me that she was ready for her next class, and noticed that I was touching the cheek he kissed. As I walked with Akemi to her next class, I noticed that Zero was no longer running around helping everyone. I left Akemi at the door and said I would be right back. At first she frowned but when I said it was to help Zero, she smiled and sent me away saying she would go to her other lessons herself if I didn't return.

I walked into the kitchen only to be told by Daisuke that Zero already helped him prepare the meal and that he went out back. I walked out and decided to check the stables first. When I walked in, I saw White Lily poking her head in into the stable and already knew that Zero was in there. I lightly tapped White Lily causing her to move a little so that I could go through. "Need any help?" I asked as I saw Zero cleaning White Lily's stable. He turned around and said "are you sure? You don't look like the type who would like to clean." "I tend to surprise people. Anyways, I think it is my turn to help you with something," I said as crouched down and was going to dip the scrubbing brush, but was stopped by Zero's hand holding his arm. He came closer and said, "let me help you with that, you wouldn't want to get your clothes wet." He then proceeded to roll up my shirt sleeves and pants. "You seem to like helping people," He looked up at me and smiled and that is when I noticed how close he was. "I learned from my mother," he whispered.

Normal POV

They stared at each other and unconsciously stared leaning in. They could feel each others breath on their faces. Zero kept glancing down at Kaname's lips and back towards Kaname, hoping he hadn't noticed but Kaname did notice. He even noticed when Zero bit his lip almost drawing blood. Slowly their lips brushed against each other but that was exactly what Zero needed to pull him back to his senses. "Um, why don't start scrubbing at the stains on the floor and I'll start sweeping," Zero said as he put as much distance between them as possible.

Kaname had noticed the blush on Zero's face as he pulled away. He started scrubbing the floor but what shocked him was that he couldn't stop thinking of how nice it felt to have the that light brush with Zero and how much he would have liked if he was able to feel more. They worked in silence, every once in a while taking quick glances at each other. After they were done, Zero said that he was going to start working on Yuuki's garden. Suddenly, we heard Akemi yelling our names and turned around to see he running towards us. Zero sent them to go take a shower, while he went to Yuuki's garden, but it seemed that Akemi and Kaname were thinking the same thing when they said they would help Zero out. Zero smiled and started to walk towards the garden, knowing that they would follow.

Zero walked in but heard feet stop behind him, he turned around and saw that neither Kaname nor Akemi had completely entered that garden. He walked back and squeezed himself in between them. He slowly linked his hands with both of them and started pulling them towards the garden. They stopped before Yuuki's grave and bowed, saying hello as well. Zero started having a conversation with 'Yuuki' while he started to tend to the garden. "Zero, why do you talk to mommy? She isn't here anymore." Zero looked over at Akemi and smiled, "Kemi, they may no longer be with us in the real world but they will always be with us in spirit, watching over us." Zero then sent them to start pulling weeds out of the ground and showed them exactly how to do it. After Zero had said that, Akemi started talking to Yuuki's tombstone as well, even Kaname found himself asking Yuuki whether or not he was pulling the weeds out right.

"Ne Zero, can you tell me about your family?" Akemi asked. Kaname saw Zero tense from the corner of his eyes. "My family was just a normal family I guess. I had a mother, father and twin brother. My mother loved to sing, cook, help people, she always had a smile on her face and was so overprotective. My father loved to play with us, always played tricks and laughing, he always took little bites out of whatever my mom had made behind her back. Finally, my brother he was a sweet kid, always found a way to smile even though he was extremely sick. He was never allowed to do the things that I was able to do, going to school was the only place he was allowed to go." Zero had said everything with a slight smile until he brought up his brother. "I bet you call them everyday." Akemi said with a smile. Zero choked and Kaname walked over to him, putting his arm on his shoulder. Zero looked up to him and gave him a smile, a forced one. "Actually, one day when I had went over my best friend Kaito's house, I returned home to run into—they were...let's just say that their spirits are watching over me just like your mommy." Akemi looked shocked but kept quiet and after Kaname made sure that Zero was alright, he returned to what he was doing. At first it was a bit awkward after that but Zero started joking around lifting everyone's spirit. Zero suddenly stood up and asked them to follow him because he had something to show them. He walked to the of the garden where their was and open space and a huge hole. "What was this going to be used for?" Zero asked. "For my wife's birthday, I decided to build a pond behind the garden and to leave an open space to put a small table for her out here, but because she died, I stopped it." Kaname answered with a far away look in his eyes. "Well then, why don't we finish it for her? She deserves her birthday present even if it's late and whether or not she is here to receive it, right?" Kaname stared at Zero for a bit before nodding his head. Zero smiled and they should head back. They walked back to the house in a better mood and with smiles on their faces.

Zero POV

I sent Kaname to take a shower, while I went and got Kemi ready. She is so excited about spending time with her dad, she was basically jumping up and down. It was harder for me to get her ready because she wouldn't stay still but finally I finished and sent her to wait for me and her father in front of the kitchen. After she left, I made my way to Kaname's bedroom to see if he was ready. I knocked and he opened the door, revealing him in a long dress up shirt, pants and shoes. "What are you wearing?" I asked. He shrugged and said "clothes." I pulled him further into his room and sait him on his bed. I asked him if I could look through his closet and after getting the ok, I did just that.

"You know you are going on a picnic right?" "Can't I wear this?" He asked nonchalantly. "No, you are going to be playing with your daughter and need to be comfortable. I walked around Kaname's huge walk-in closet and finally in the very back, I found a pair of jean and a red t-shirt. I also grabbed a pair of sneakers I found on his way out. "Come on wear this," I said as I walked up to him. I expected him to go to the bathroom and change, but instead, he shed his shirt right in front of me. I blushed as I got an good view of his nice, toned chest, that didn't hold one mark or blemish. His skin was a perfect pale color that held a v shape going under his pants and the small trail of hair that went from his belly button, down. I looked up to see Kaname looking at me with a smirk on his face and blushed harder. Kaname finally finished putting on his shirt and then I heard, "did you like what you see," as he started unbuttoning his pants. I completely ignored his question as I asked him where he kept his socks and bathing suit shorts are. He pointed as he laughed a little. I was having a hard time focusing knowing that he was getting undressed behind me. Suddenly, I felt a breath on my ear, "do I make you nervous, Zerro?" he said as he blew at me ear. The way he said my name and how he was treating my ear, made a shiver go down my spine and made me blush even more. I turned around and handed him his socks and shorts. I walked past him and told him to meet me and Kemi by the kitchen and left, though noticing his smile.

Normal POV

Kaname didn't know what came over him but he actually for once didn't care. He enjoyed the reaction he got out of Zero and would love to have it happen again. He hurriedly got ready and then walked towards the kitchen. Zero walked into the kitchen when he saw Kaname walk downstairs and came back with the picnic basket and a note. "Now is the start of your father/daughter bonding time. On this note, you will find directions to were you will having the picnic. It is not far, so you can walk. After you eat and enjoy a little relaxation, call me and I'll let you know where to go after that. Kaname no business calls at all, I already made sure no one calls but if they still do, you're not allowed to answer. Akemi listen to what your father says, don't disobey, and eat everything that your dad serves for you." Zero looked at both of them to make sure they understood, before he started pushing them out the door. He waved and was about to turn around when he felt a hand grab him. "And where do you think you're going?" Kaname asked. "Um, upstairs?" Zero said blushing because of the sudden contact. Kaname started pulling Zero with him and Akemi, "no, you're coming with us." "Wait, what? This is supposed to be a father daughter thing," Zero said. "but Zero, I want you to come." Akemi said, before she skipped ahead.

Zero kept blushing when he noticed that Kaname had not let go of him and it seemed that he didnt have any plan of letting go. They had finally made on the trail outside of the entrance to the mansion and were currently walking towards the direction of the town. Kaname kept looking at the paper with directions that Zero made to make sure he was going the right way. Halfway before the entrance to the town, they turned right and after a short distance, they reached a big open field with a lake. Kaname was completely shocked, he had never seen this place, and Akemi squealed. "I came across this place one day when I went out for a jog," Zero said as he and Kaname set out the blanket and took out the food. Then Zero went and made Akemi change into her bathing suit, which was a light pink one piece with white polka dots. They ate and joked around, overall it they were having a good time. Akemi got up saying she was going to go run around. "Don't go to far Akemi, I want to be able to see you," Kaname said. "and if you want to go into the water, make sure you come get one of us first," Zero added. Akemi nodded and ran off to chase after a butterfly.

Kaname POV

I looked over at Zero as he started to pick up the mess we left on the blanket. "You know you're going to make a great mother." I said with slight amusement behind my words. Zero scoffed and glared at me "you mean father," "doubt it" I said as I smirked and he growled. We failed to see that Akemi had walked up until we heard, "maybe Zero could be my mommy." Zero choked on what I'm guessing was his own saliva and I coughed and just stared at her wide eyed. I then started staring at Akemi. 'Have I been a good father to her?' I thought. "Hey, you know you're a great father. You have been raising a great girl, whom loves you very much," Zero said as he laid down on the blanket and Akemi ran off. "How is that you know exactly what I'm thinking?" "I'm good at reading people."

I laid down next to him and we both looked up at the clouds. "Doesn't that look like a dog laying down," Zero asked. "No I see a baby on tummy time," I answered. "Are you blind?! It is clearly a dog," he yelled. I smiled and purposely said that it still looked like a baby when I actually thought it looked like a dog too. "Well that one looks like a heart." This time I agreed with him. We continued staring at the clouds and looking over at Akemi. We sometimes agreed and sometimes jokingly fought but it was all in fun. After some time, Zero stopped talking and I could hear soft snoring. When I looked down, Zero was sleeping and had his head facing me. I got the blanket that he had packed for Akemi and I wrapped it around him. Then I slowly got up and went behind a bush to change into my shorts.

I walked towards Akemi and told her we were going to get into the water. I was trying to get her as far away from Zero so that he could sleep in peace. I helped Akemi in and carrying her until I felt it was shallow enough to put her in. She was still learning how to swim but I was so proud of her progress. We played and joked, we were in the water for what seemed like an hour and a half. Suddenly we saw Zero get up, "how could you guys let me sleep! I'm missing out on all the fun," I saw him pout and the only thing I could think about was how I could eat him up. Weird right? He started taking off his clothes and I couldn't help but stare. It was like he was teasing me with how slow he was actually doing it. When he was only left in his boxers, he ran and jumped into the lake, causing water to spray at us. Akemi and I looked at each other and smiled. We started spraying water at Zero, while he was trying to shield himself but was failing. If someone were to walk anywhere near the lake, all they would hear was their laughter.

The water ended up getting a little cold after, so we got out and wrapped up on some towels that Zero had packed. "So are you going to tell me where we are going after this?" I asked him as we sat down on the blanket, Akemi sleeping in between us. "Now how fun would that be? It would ruin the surprise." he said smiling. He then went and took some dry clothes out for Akemi and started changing her while she slept, saying that is we left her in wet clothes she would get sick. I laughed at the fact that Akemi resembled a doll and Zero was her owner. "Your laugh is so warm and nice," Zero said but then blushed and looked away. I saw him do a face-palm and say "did I really say that out loud." I grabbed his chin and pulled him to face me. I planted a kiss on his cheek and then moved to his ear and placed a kiss on it as well. I smiled when I felt him shiver, "you're adorable when you blush." I felt him gulp and I moved my head to stare at his eyes but the inner me told me to get close to his neck. I put my head under his neck and sniffed, 'he smells delectable.' I could feel blood rushing towards my lower regions and my eyes turning red. I slowly licked his neck and felt him shiver, but I didn't understand if it was because of excitement or fear. I moved my face to be close to him and slowly leaned in, giving him a slight peck on his lips, which he returned. When I was about to lean in for more, I heard, "Kaname dearest, are you there."

We pulled away from each other and looked towards where the voice came from. The only person who called me Kaname dearest is the one person I don't want to see this very moment. Sara. She slowly walked in holding her long dress up and her heels in hand. "There you are...and so is the help." Her face tightened when she mentioned Zero and he glared for when she called him the help. "How did you find us," I asked. She gave me a look and said "I asked your other useless helpers. Did you know they didn't want to tell me! Can you believe it? You need to have a word with them, they are so rude. I am your girlfriend I have every right to know where you are and are going." I rolled my eyes without her looking and I saw Zero do the same. "They are good people and should be treated with respect" Zero whispered and growled at the same time, trying not to wake up Akemi. "That is what the help say about each other," "They are good people and they are my family, so try to treat them nicely." She glared at me and then said, "I heard you took the day off and decided we should use it for a date at the fair in town, so let's go get you ready for that," she said as he held out her hand for me. "Actually today is his day to spend time with his daughter, so he will be declining. Right Kaname," he looked at me and I knew that if I didn't agree it would hurt me in the end. "Right." She was fuming but then turned to say, "then why are you here?" "Because I invited him and he did plan all this," I said while glaring at her for being rude. "So where are you going now then?" she asked. "Get changed and go to the fair," he said mumbling. "Good, then I am coming. It would make a chance for me to bond with Alemi," she said smiling. "Akemi" Zero growled. "Right, right. You are no longer needed. I'll go in your place." Zero looked like he was ready to kill her. "Actually he would be coming with us and I suggest you start showing him some respect or I will send you home." She growled and came to sit down next to me, pushing Zero to the side, thinking that I couldn't see. I sighed, today had just went from absolutely great to terrible, hopefully it gets better later on.

I tuned out Sara as she talked nonsense and stared at Zero who was playing with Akemi's hair. 'Why have been acting that way with him today? What have you done to me Zero?' I thought not knowing that I was smiling or noticing the glare that was sent my way by Sara who notice me looking at Zero.
