A/N: I'm sorry coz' I took so long to update since I had exams this week. But I promise that I'll make the story more vibrant this time. I'll give you a taste of Yuuki x Zero this time! Please give me reviews about the story since I really appreciate them! Thank you for those who have supported my story with reviews. I appreciate them very much! Well then, let's start the story shall we?
………………………Chapter start………………….
Zero stroked Yuuki's hair gently, making sure she had a place to seek comfort from. Yuuki clutched onto his shirt tightly. Tears soaked his shirt making the inside visible. Zero relaxed under her touch, she was his weakest point. She could actually make his knees grow very weak every time she did something cute or glance at him, melting his soul with delight. If only she knew, he thought.
He was indeed a coward towards her; he never wanted to tell her his feelings until it was the right time. He always aimed for the right time and perhaps the right time would be nearing today.
"I was just so scared…" yuuki sobbed against his chest. Zero tensed. Was she attacked by a vampire earlier or was it something else?
"What were you scared of Yuuki?" he asked her gently, still relaxing on the bathroom floor. Yuuki shuddered and cried more, making zero rub her back lightly. "Kaname-sempai…" she whispered. Zero's eyes grew wide. What could he have done to make yuuki feel this way? Maybe he bit her or tried something fishy with her. He was furious and curious at the same time. He didn't know what to think.
Yuuki squirmed a bit then sat up, wiping the tears off her eyes. "I'm so silly, crying over simple things like that. I'm sorry to have bothered you zero." She headed for the door then walked towards her room. Zero quickly stood up and ran to her bedroom to make sure she's alright.
Yuuki9 slid under the covers. Zero sat at the side of her bed, keeping a good eye on her as she sobbed silently below the covers. Zero extended a hand and rested it on her back, sliding it up and down to soothe her.
"Tell me what happened, Yuuki." He asked. She moved her head from side to side meaning she doesn't want to. Zero suddenly became disappointed. She was always open to him, but now…. It suddenly changed. "You always told me everything that happens to you, why are you hesitating? I won't be angry… just tell me what happened." She squirmed as he played with a strand of her hair that peeked from under the covers.
"I don't want to" she sniffed then sobbed some more. "Oh come on you!" zero pulled the covers off her and turned her body so that he could see her. Her eyes were so red, even her nose was red. Zero chuckled. Yuuki was offended; she punched him lightly in the arm.
"What are you laughing at? Oh no! Is it my face? I probably look awful right now!" she hid her face with her hands. Zero untangled both her hands. "It's your nose. You just look like Rudolph's when you cry. Yuuki touched her nose. She smiled a bit. "Well at least it doesn't glow!" She sat up to face him more. She noticed that his bare chest was seen through his shirt since she had soaked it earlier with her tears.
"Your shirt is… I can see your… you know!" she turned away from him. Zero inspected his shirt and sighed. "Don't worry, it's just soaked that's all" yuuki turned to face him again. She wiped more tears from her cheeks. Zero toyed with her hair. Yuuki grabbed his hands away. She felt a bit scared since she wasn't over with the "Kaname-thing".
Zero toyed with her hair again, not paying attention to her struggling. She kept struggling; she had tears running down her cheeks again. He had seen her with Kaname earlier and there was no doubt that he was the one who had made her cry so much. He pulled her body to his and embraced her tightly. "What did that bastard do to you?" she sobbed more. He shook her gently. "Come on! Tell me right now!" he half-shouted. Yuuki struggled to break free from his arms but failed to do so. He pulled her to him more tightly. She gave up and let her hands snake around his waist. "It was horrible. I didn't expect it. When I w-woke up, he was there beside the bed, he started licking my neck and the next thing I know, and he was kissing me! I ran for the door but it was locked. I didn't know how to open it! Then he pulled me to floor and kissed me again. I ran to the window and before I could jump down he confessed to me! It was so horrible! I just… I…" she sobbed harder onto his chest. He never loosened his embrace on her. Even though he knew that she was fragile, he didn't care.
Yuuki could feel her wounds hurting; she decided that it was good if she wouldn't attend classes tomorrow. She'll just make sure that she'll think of a good answer to kaname's confession. "I'm sorry if I wasn't there. I should've been there to protect you. I'm sorry."
Zero heard a small snore from under him. He turned her away from him and brushed the bangs off her face. She really was asleep. He tucked her under the covers and kissed her forehead. He was about to close the door when he whispered something to her.
"I'll always protect you from now on Yuuki, he'll never get close to you ever again." He whispered before closing the door.
Yuuki was off to lala land. But her mind seemed to drift off from the experience she had had. Returning her some unforgettable nightmares…
