Vampire Knight Disney collection Chapter 6, a vampire knight fanfic

About 10 minutes later , Ruka left the grand chamber Zero woke up in right after fainting .

Speaking of which .. It was indeed so different , a stark contrast to the dust-covered spider-web-filled cell he was locked up in . He had no idea how such tiny objects could carry him all the way to his new room but he surmised if they could be alive , then they could do anything else .

What had him wondering though was whether they did that on their own , without their master knowing , or if they did it under his commands .

The demented young man would surely punish them if they dared do something without his consent .

Beauty hoped that wasn't the case . He did enjoy their company and didn't want them to get in troubles on his account . They were the only thing that has made the past few days tolerable , tending to his needs and even going as far as making sure he ate enough not to fall sick .

But he still missed his family and nothing was going to change that .

He often found himself wondering if his father has made it home safely . What about his sisters ? Did father tell them the truth ? Were they worried about Beauty ? Or were they having a field day , celebrating his absence ?

He hadn't even gotten a chance to say Good bye .. He just liked to think he had .

In the past few days he was so close to crying but he remained strong and told himself he would not break down ..

He would not ..

Would he ?

Deciding he'd rather wheel his thoughts somewhere else lest he ended up a silent sobbing mess , Zero started busying himself inspecting the room , for probably the million time .

The room featured a high pillared stately bed , with pink rotund pillows and purple drapes hanging from it .

The wooden surface of the bed was painted a topaz color while the upholstered oval parts encased in decorative frames were a gemstone green , adorning the middle of the head and foot boards .

The ceiling was intricately enriched with ornament cornice . Even the walls were painted and decorated to perfection .

Zero was especially fond of the huge Georgian leaded windows . But that didn't mean he loved being a prisoner . Who would ? Maybe his sisters .. For them , It would be more like a golden opportunity to play the role of a princess .

Cracking a smile at the thought , Zero brought his knees to his chest , hugging himself until he heard someone knoc- no , slamming the door .

Nearly jumping out of his skin at that , Beauty's gaze darted to the said door , waiting for whatever was going to happen .

" Dinner is served at 12 midnight . I expect you to show up , properly dressed . " A familiar husky voice with an edge of softness resounded , making Beauty frown almost instantly as he recognized it .

Scurrying his way to the door but never intending to open it , the silverette yelled a question

" What makes you think I would want to have dinner with you , my captor ! "

There was a moment of silence within which zero unconsciously bit his lips , wishing he could see the beast's expression at that moment but feeling understandably reluctant to even open the door a few inches .

Outside , a crooked semblance of a smile appeared on the brunette male's face before he responded in a tone that was part mocking part compelling

" Hunger . I think your hunger is way stronger than your hatred . "

Hating the fact such words had an edge of truth and logic to them , Beauty parted his lips to deny it . But he really was hungry . Ruka and the others have been giving him bread and cheese but that was not nearly enough for his needy stomach , as it seemed ..

During the time Zero contemplated attending dinner , the beast was preparing to leave , turning around and almost going back to his wing , so sure that the human would jump at the chance to eat an actual meal .

The last thing he'd expected or perhaps hadn't expected at all , was Beauty shouting through the door , claiming he was not hungry , at least not enough to accept the 'generous' offer shoved in his face .

Ignoring those words , the beast closed his eyes for a second before meandering his way through the winding halls of the castle .

Only one thought filled his head .

You are going to have dinner with me whether you like it or not , Beauty . No one has ever refused me before !

Not hungry enough ? Not going to accept ? He could just scoff at that .

He's just bluffing . The beast told himself .

But when it was time for dinner and Beauty really did not show up , all hell broke loose .

At first , the temperature dropped and that was more than enough of a sign for the other occupants of the dining room to cower back in fear . Their master was angry ! It has been a long time since they have last seen him like that . They didn't exactly miss the sight of it , or the feel of it either .

The air was starting to thicken around them , almost turning into a suffocating force , robbing life of them .

Takuma has tried to push his luck and pacify the said beast , but in vain .

The brunette marched his way to the silver haired beauty's room , snapping when he finally reached his destination .

He'd nearly smashed the door to million tiny pieces before roaring " You'd rather bear with hunger than behaving like a sane person and accepting what is being generously offered to you ?! Fine ! be my guest ! "

It didn't take long for a shouting match to take place as Beauty screamed at the top of his lungs

" You have no right to order me around , you beast ! you didn't even me wait for me to bid my father farewell ! you just dragged him away ! "

Oddly enough , it was then that Zero almost broke down into a fit of tears , not knowing how to let out all of the sorrow he'd been keeping inside of him ever since he agreed to replace his father . It made him feel even more frustrated .

How dare that beast ask such thing of him and still make it seem like his birthright ?!

Taken aback by the human's words and tone altogether , Beast almost divulged how it was because of his guilt for that deed in particular that he allowed his minions to gift Beauty a new room .

But that was not something for the human to know .

Focusing more on his rage than his guilt , the brunette exclaimed " Stay locked in there and never get out . Starve to death for all I care ! Let's see where your childish tenacity would get you ! "

As soon as the angry footsteps of the beast started dwindling and finally vanished , Beauty allowed himself to groan in a blend of frustration and helpless despair .

He slid down the door , forehead leaning on the wooden surface as he squeezed his eyes shut and sniffed .

He still remembers how a dark figure appeared out of nowhere , standing on the stairs , the moonlight filtering through the narrow windows , sneaking about , making half of his face somehow visible , as visible as a person standing in the dark could ever get .

His voice was ice itself , void of literally any emotions as he clearly told beauty the only way for him to save his father out of that misery and prison was to be the prisoner himself , to succumb to the beast's siege .

He still recalls the tragic moment that didn't even take place , the goodbye . they are always like that ..But then again .. what's good about them ?

Days have passed and he used to almost cry his way to sleep as he held the white cape close his father had bought for him , trying to ease the longing .

But no . He wouldn't stay another second in that hell ! He would find a way to escape .

With newly found determination , Zero picked himself from the marble floor and gave the room a cursory glance , brightening up once his gaze settled on the windows .

Rushing there , he wasted no time twisting the handle of the window open . What greeted his vision was not promising though . He would never be able to jump from such height and survive .

God !

Slamming his hands on the sill , Beauty resisted the urge to curse .

It couldn't get any worse . he thought .

But then thunder struck the sky .

Flinching , Zero stepped back , feeling startled and more than just disappointed .

If he thought it couldn't get any worse , he was wrong . Because right after the third thunder-strike , The skies began crying .

It never rains . it pours .

Aggravated beyond words , Beauty nearly destroyed the window as he smashed it close before pulling the curtains together when an idea hit him .

Titling his head to the side with one eyebrow raised upwards , the beautiful silverette rubbed his index and thumb finger through the velvet soft fabric , smiling in mischief shortly after .

Necessity is the mother of invention . though he wouldn't call what he had in mind an invention .

Before he could start setting his plan into motion , however , a knock on the door drew his attention .

" Beauty , Can we come in ? "

The question came from a feminine voice that belonged to none other than Ruka , causing Zero to clumsily abandon his place by the window and as quietly as possible hurry his way back to bed .

" Sure ! " he'd squeaked without meaning to , wishing he could give himself a slap for that and hoping they wouldn't notice anything suspicious about him .

No sooner had they heard the permission granted to them , five objects started walking into the room , with Ruka being the first one to enter . She took somewhat hesitant steps towards the bed and stopped , eventually raising her head to look at Beauty .

Frowning at her timid behavior , Zero bent down to collect the said doll and placed her on his lap , lilac jewels narrowing in concern .

" Ruka ? What's wrong ? "

The doll wasn't even meeting his gaze , making Beauty feel even more worried .

" She's sad because she thinks you are going to leave . "

Zero's gaze shifted to Rima who looked just as gloomy as the other female .

Wait what ?

Gulping nervously as he processed such words , Beauty chose to lie " Eh ? Why would I ? "

The answer that time came from the doll herself .

" Because master has been harsh with you . "

Pulling his lips to the side at that , the silverette started brushing his delicate fingers through Ruka's toffee hair strands , seeking to pacify her . He couldn't deny the fact she'd just uttered though .

Moments of silence dragged by until another familiar voice broke them .

" Zero-san , I'm not trying to forcibly change your opinion about kaname ..but.. "

Takuma went silent for a moment before he started narrating a story . Beauty didn't know who that kaname was but deep inside , a part of him had a feeling it was the master of the mansion .

They all gathered about Zero's room , with a certain doll in the owner's loose embrace , Takuma occupying the center of the room , Akatsuki and Rima sitting on the carpet , leaning on each other . while Senri was sitting on a fancy chair covered with valuable fabrics , quiet and relaxed , like usual . Only Hanabusa was not there . Which was not that much of a surprise . Zero knew the glass snowball was far from fond of him . And he took no offense to it .

What mattered to him most was the words of the fairy-tale book .

He found out that an evil witch had cast a spell on the beast that he now identified as kaname , seeking revenge on the said beast's father because she loved him but he didn't return her feelings .

Beauty found the story oddly similar to a book he had once read before , with one exception - the beast was still as handsome as can be -.

" So , he wasn't originally like that ? "Asked Zero , truly amazed by what he'd just heard .

Takuma shook his head and explained further " No , Beauty . Kaname is a victim. The witch put the curse on him since birth but it only started taking effect when he reached the age of 12 . She was jealous of kaname's mother and heartbroken by her one-sided love. "

The story was A LOT more like an old romantic story . Except for , kaname's beauty was not her target , not his physical appearance at least . She meant for his inner Beauty , his heart to lose such quality.

Eventually , kaname's parents who were sorcerers as well , had died , Leaving their one and only son behind in such state .

However , their souls were still there , lingering , trying to figure a way to repeal the spell..

Nonetheless and unlike the common plot where the witch meant for the Beast to be punished for not being kind but provided a cure for it - love - , the witch cursed kaname with no remorse , no mercy.

In the actual story , she didn't target the beast because of some destructive revenge inclination . she wanted the prince to learn a lesson . However , and in our case , there was no cure because the witch wanted it this way.

Zero was shocked by the story he heard from Takuma . still , he couldn't help but ask how the said had known .

Turned out kaname's father had that magic . he meant for the blonde noble and the others to be his son's best friends and guardian Angels . He had a feeling that witch would try something against his son , her own way of getting back at him . Sadly , the said Angels couldn't repeal the spell .

As if triggered by such story , Zero found himself recalling one memory . he'd started getting weird dreams of a sad man , a king , or so he looked like .

The king looked devastated and kept asking of Beauty to save his son . Something in Zero's heart fluttered at the memory . Was he supposed to stay and try thinking of a way to save Kaname ?

Beauty glared at the intense red fur cape lying innocently on the bed he still couldn't think of as his own . Needless to say , It did not appeal to him but If he was going to choose between freezing to death and wearing a fur cape , he'd obviously not think twice . Besides , It's not like anyone would witness the terrorizing sight of a grown up man wearing a female cape .

His own cape wasn't heavy enough to keep him warm in such cold weather . Which was ridiculous , if he was going to be honest . It's like the castle was in the coldest imaginable place on earth !

As he made his way outside 'his' room , Beauty wore a confident smile , doing nothing to sneak about . the ban on him getting out of his room has long been lifted after all . He supposed that his unusual friends had a hand in it . But well , he didn't mind . At least now he could spend some time in the garden , to take his mind off things , if only in a partial sense.

As soon as he reached the said garden , Zero buried his hands in the snow , shivering almost instantly .

A little pain reminded him he was alive , for a reason . Yes , he'd after all traded his life for his father's .

He closed his eyes and took a deep refreshing breath , basking in the chilly breeze enveloping his lungs .

A shiver ran up his spine as he slowly opened violet orbs again , a small collection of garnet petals greeting his vision , carried by the wind .

unconsciously , his eyes followed the journey until he ended up turning around , facing the magnificent castle .

Without meaning to , his gaze settled on the window of the third floor , eyes narrowing as he caught a movement up there . However and as he blinked past the gust of wind obscuring his vision , he found himself staring at a vacant space . He could swear someone was standing there , watching him .. Deciding that maybe he was imagining it , Beauty shrugged and turned his back to the said building once more , drawing random patterns on the snow .

When the night fell and it was time for dinner , Beauty made a surprise appearance that seemed to confuse everyone , including the beast . though it wasn't that noticeable on his part . He said nothing about the whole thing , seemingly neutral to Beauty's presence and instead , resumed bending his wrist and applying pressure as he cut two bites of meat , making the simple gesture look more like a form of art . As much as Beauty initially planned to keep to himself , the sight was mesmerizing in a way . At first glance , one would never tell that such a perfectionist had a beastly personality . But well , Zero found himself negating that thought in the speed of light . If the man was so neat and organized in his life , it was only natural he would grow up to be more of a sophisticated machine than a human being .

The unusual friends , on the other hand , who took to serving the brunette prince looked as though they were floundering , taking a few seconds to digest what just happened before rushing to help Beauty find a seat and then wasted no time adding another plate , spoon , fork , and knife to the table . Zero smiled in gratitude at that , making no effort to put it into words . For some reason , he didn't feel like talking . It was enough he decided to listen to the more random part in his brain and showed up for dinner . There was no need to remind Beast of his existence when the said clearly didn't appreciate it .

Halfway through the meal , which was still leaning towards the start of it for Zero , the beast placed his fork down and wiped his mouth with a ruffled white handkerchief before pursing his lips and finally speaking up

" You left your room and gave yourself permission to go out , spending most of the morning in the garden . I trust you enjoyed it ? "

The words felt like a whip to Beauty , making him tense up and stop chewing as he registered the meaning behind them .So much for a peaceful meal , ha ? He'd even went as far as dressing himself up , just to fit in the luxurious theme .

" I don't recall you including that in the conditions of our deal . " Feigning a calm disposition , the silverette mimicked the earlier actions of Beast and placed his fork down , reaching for the glass of wine instead , all the while fuming up deep inside .

If the bastard didn't like him going out and knew about it , he could have prevented him instead of letting him do just that so he could have a reason to scold him , to exert his dominance . the fact he didn't put a stop to any of it was enough proof of how it didn't really bother him . he was not seriously angry . but he made it seem as if he was , just to dampen Zero's mood .

The words ' Go satisfy your ego somewhere else . I'm not your slave ! ' danced dangerously close on Beauty's tongue but he halted himself once he realized he may actually have been one , in a sense .

Time ticked by slowly before Kaname started to steeple his fingers and let his chin rest atop them before demanding " What part of the term 'prisoner' do you not understand ? And here I thought you were educated enough to know better . "

Beauty could almost feel the scoff the other male let out and it made his blood boil . " I'm no prisoner ! I came here willingly , I replaced my father willingly ! " This close to slamming his hands on the table and standing up in a show of anger , Zero snapped .

To his extreme displeasure , however , the beast did nothing in response to that , as if he dealing with a stupid kid . Zero was anything but that and he was going to return the favor . I will retaliate . Just wait . If it's the last thing I do .

" Keep telling yourself that . "

The nerve of him !

What ensued was Beauty excusing himself in a stomp of steps , leaving his plate almost untouched . his appetite has been savagely ruined in any case .

What the hell made him think that the moving stone , the beast of a man , could have a civil side ?

As soon as Beauty reached his room , he started pulling the curtains off the railing and proceed tying them together to form a rope . He'd be damned if he stayed one more second in that hell of a castle with its ungrateful beast of an owner . In the middle of the whole thing , however , his stomach rumbled , making his action screech to a halt . He gave the ground below a hopeful look laced with a hint of hesitance and disappointment . If he chose to leave like that , he wouldn't have enough stamina to make it far . But he sneaked his way to the kitchen and filled his belly , escaping would be a piece of cake , or so he thought .

Sneaking about in the dark was not easy , but it was essential to eliminate the risk of getting caught . In worst case scenarios and if someone caught him , he would pretend that everything was normal , grab the leftovers , if there were any , and head back to his room where he would quickly devour them before proceeding to escape .

Zero started feeling his way , relying on the faint moonlight to guide him which wasn't all that great . In truth , he was starting to feel a little bit scared by the massive darkness surrounding him and the spacious halls were not helping .

In such castle it was so easy to imagine a murder taking place , or an awakening of a ghost spirit , or perhaps a demon ! Shuddering at the though , Beauty wanted to squeeze his eye shut and make a run for it as he let out all of his fear into a loud scream but he couldn't , for one a scream would draw unwanted attention and closing his eyes would be too much of a risk in case any of the things he listed previously decided to make itself known .

After a torturous journey and countless failed attempts ( like when he found himself in a grand bathroom instead of the kitchen ) , Beauty finally made it , reaching his destination . But just as he was about to step inside , he heard a noise , a slurp to be exact . Gulping fearfully , he took a step backwards and hid himself in the shadows as quietly as possible , observing the source of that sound . His heart start beating so fast as he tried to make out the outlines of the figure producing that sound . the said person threw something away on the table , it landed with a thud that reminded Zero of raw meat . Furrowing his eyebrows at , he resumed watching , almost gagging when he realized that person was actually the last one he wanted to see at the moment .

Kuran kaname was licking his wrist after having dirtied it with the piece of meat .. Wait what ? What was he licking ? surely not ..

Eyes widening beyond comprehension , Beauty slapped a hand on his mouth lest a gasp or worse , a scream got out .

He just got the instinctive feeling that he saw something he shouldn't . Still , he tried to calm himself down and hold his breath , wanting nothing more than to evaporate into thin air . If his heart was beating fast a while ago , now it was practically leaping . shit ! What did that mean ? Squeezing his eyes shut , feeling a surge of panic and fear well up inside of him , he slowly retreated until his back touched the wall . The next time he opened his eyes , however , he nearly shrieked . Kuran was right in his face !

" Didn't your father teach you not to snoop around people's homes ? " Speaking in a particularly sweet tone , as if mocking , the beast drew even closer , making Beauty suspect he was trying to kill him by taking up all of the oxygen around them . But that was the least of his problems now .

" You knew I was going to get hungry and end up sneaking my way here so you wanted to creep me out . Why else would you be licking strawberry jam like that right after holding raw meat ? It can't be blood . Vampires don't exist . " Delusional , Beauty started rambling , a rush of words leaving his mouth in haste .

Kuran simply stared at him with a smile that suggested otherwise before he dropped the bomb " If that's true then you might as well start accepting the fact you are an insane person standing in an empty hallway , talking to thin air . " It took zero a fraction of a second to process the meaning behind those words and when he finally did , he completely stiffened before darting his eyes everywhere and finally dashing back to his room , hoping he wasn't being chased .

Meanwhile , a certain beast was nearly on the verge of breaking into a fit of laughter . He really enjoyed teasing the human so much he couldn't help but reveal his secret . Beauty's aura was growing farther but that was natural , kuran told himself . After all , the kitchen was located in the middle of the mansion while Zero's room was in the eats wing .

The dwindling presence did not worry him . But when he randomly let his gaze fall on the windows of the hallway , he could see a figure running the darkness of the night , away from the castle . Oh snap !

Getting caught and dragged back to the castle drove Beauty into getting even more rebellious .Though technically , he wasn't dragged back . He was rescued , from a pack of wolves , by the beast . Which involved him witnessing a very brutal fight between the two forces , that culminated with Kuran getting badly injured . Zero almost ignored it all and left , but he couldn't . The man did get beaten up for his sake , right ? It would not be noble of him to take advantage of the situation and selfishly leave .. Well , that's what his overly benevolent heart whispered to him . Sometimes he wished he wasn't so kind . In any case , because of the whole unexpected progress , he found himself once again stuck in the castle that was beginning to feel more like home . And oh was it a scary thought . In general , he was getting along with Kuran , if you can call 'having dinner together in complete silence without exchanging taunting remarks' getting along .

But now Beauty was itching to do something he shouldn't . there was one thing Kuran warned, more like forbade him from - the west wing - . Which only managed to fuel Zero's curiosity .

He choose a time during which everyone else would be busy doing something consuming enough not to notice his absence . Beauty made the grave mistake of listening to his curious mind . He went to the west wing !

Every now and then , he would take a glance behind him , to make sure no one was following or close enough to catch him red handed . When he was finally in front of the huge door , he pursed his lips and pulled it open , finding a collection of spiderwebs greeting his vision , along with various gargoyles and a huge Elizabethan leaded windows . But what ensnared him was a pink light glowing from what seemed like a glass cloche . It was the most breathtaking thing he'd ever seen and as though hypnotized , he stepped closer and closer .

A hand gripped his own , halting him from reaching over to the enchanted rose .

Zero gasped , heart dropping for a moment , fear gripping it .

" What are you doing here ? I warned you ! "The beast seethed . Zero has never seen him that livid before .

Startled for many reasons , the silverette gulped ever so slowly , feeling inexplicably vulnerable , ashamed and more than anything else , afraid . he'd been caught , red handed . Which made everything a thousand times worse .

Normally , he would not behave like that , like a damsel in distress , would not fear anything , would not shrink away instead of fighting . He was no coward ! And he certainly did not lack in physical strength department either . At the moment , however , he found himself unable to say a word , to snatch his hand away , to protest , to justify his deeds .

He'd crossed the line , hadn't he ?

But .. He was too curious ! He couldn't help it ! If he could , he would not be standing there , with a frightening vampire imprisoning his wrist in his clutches. It didn't take long for Kuran to rage once more , yelling and breaking valuable objects , eliciting a cry out of Beauty .

" GET OUT ! "

As time passed by , they both seemed to forget about that incident . But in actuality , that wasn't the case . Zero could never forget , because it was the first time Kuran punished him for something .

They were seated on the dining table , eating , when suddenly , Takuma blurted out the fact the castle had such a gigantic library . Beauty couldn't control his overwhelming passion for books . His eyes sparkled and in an instant , he flew to Kaname's chair , hesitant to grab his shoulder in a show of pleading so he awkwardly stood by him , his hands in the air as he asked .

" REALLY ? Really ? "

Kaname only glared at Takuma , blinking back his anger as he growled in a low tone .

" Ha ?! " Beauty asked once more , unable to contain his excitement . He couldn't remember the least time he held a book in his hand . It felt like forever ! He was dying to brush his fingers against the familiar sensation of pages , to the point that he was ready to endure whatever misfortune that could befall him . After all , there couldn't be anything worse than being forced to bid farewell to his grand chamber . He couldn't imagine anything worse happening to him .

It was a strange scene indeed .

The beast stood up abruptly , startling beauty who took a few steps backward , gulping in fear .

They were all anticipating the brunette male's answer . Ruka, Takuma , Senri , and Rima exchanged worried looks before they once again fixated their eyes on Kaname and Zero .

" Yes . "

Came the answer . And before Beauty could ask for permission , the beast beat him to it , taking advantage of the situation " If you want to wander about My library , that's okay . "

Everyone's mouth hung open . However , Takuma was the first to recover from the shock and get suspicious .

" Then you can stay there for eternity .. But , You will have to do with no food , no drink whatsoever . "

It was such a harsh proposal .

However , Zero accepted in the blink of an eye . The others did a double take , gasping loudly . but then they quickly covered their mouths , afraid of their master's reaction .

Kaname smirked darkly , snorting as he passed by Beauty , his black cape swaying softly as he abandoned the room .

" What have you done ? " Takuma rushed to Beauty , grabbing his shoulders , shaking him .

Did he think Kaname was joking ?

Beauty smiled bitterly before revealing " I'm gonna die any ways . And if I have to live in this hell of a fate , trapped for eternity , might as well do something I love . "

A strong wave of impending and eternal doom shook his entire being , settling over his shoulders .

Beauty had spent his first few days in the library happy , if not awe-struck , exploring the various books until he felt drained . Eventually , hunger and thirst had affected his sanity .. As well as love , loneliness and longing .

He curled into a ball , the book slipping away from his frail grasp as he sniffed , choking on his voiceless sobs .

" Dad .. "

His muffled cries resonated about the empty , huge but forsaken library .

His heart felt heavy as he viewed his life so far , all of it , hugging himself to the agonizing thought of never meeting his father again , and never once having seen his mother . His self-condemnation about her death swept his emotions . Beauty wept hot tears that cascaded down his pale face , refusing to stop .

Then there was this .. His life in the castle that he was forced on to save his father at first . One of the other strangest things he had encountered during his stay was a talking a doll , and a lot of other objects that should otherwise not be living . What was even more strange was that those creatures turned out to once have been human .

Everything started moving in a fluctuating rhythm until that night .

After he'd sneaked out to the west wing , he was forced to live in the coldest room in the entire castle , a small and poorly furnished one . Kaname had managed to make everything painful , every single time .

However and eventually , Beauty found himself falling for the one Beast that ripped him of his freedom , the very one who treated him coldly and harshly . Quite ironic how one's heart Only ever seems to gravitate to the same person that broke it , tore it apart .

" Kaname ! let him out . He is dying ! "

Takuma all but begged , with all his being , eyes , voice and touch . But kaname did not waver .

" He knew it ! He knew he would be getting no food or drink , I did not deceive him . He was dump stubborn to accept it nonetheless ! " persisted kaname , as calm as ever and cold as ice . He didn't exactly enjoy torturing Zero , he just wanted to prove that stubbornness would get him nowhere .

Sighing in defeat , the blonde noble resorted to his last card , his friend's only weakness .

" Would your parents be happy seeing this ? "

No reply was given whatsoever . which made the younger male give up and leave - reluctantly - wishing that maybe his tantrum would make the elder reconsider it .

And true enough , with Takuma's departure , Kaname felt intimidated by the magical crystal ball surrounded by tiny clouds . In it , a faint image of Beauty lying unconscious could be seen .

Instead of feeling a cold harsh floor against his back , Zero woke up to velvet-soft garnet sheets around his body , and equally soft pillows about his head . Right in front of him , laid a three-layer diamond chandelier !

His room was not that luxurious .

Sitting up too fast at the realization , Zero was welcomed with a familiar cold voice greeting him .

" Enjoyed reading ? "

Kaname had a glass of wine in his hands as he rested his upper body on the frame of the curved white window veiled by a layer of satin black curtains and held up to the side with a vibrant red ribbon .

The beast was wearing a black tailed tuxedo , the edges laced and ruffled , a white handkerchief placed in his pocket .

He looked as handsome , perfect and breathtaking , yet as ice as always .

Zero inwardly winced at that .

Kaname was right there , standing in front of him , in full glory . His captivating burnt-coal-like hair , gorgeous and luminous . Whilst he , on the other hand , had boring silver hair , old and thin clothes on.

Of course .. how did he even think he could be any good ?

Something inside him got crushed . And despite the fact his body screamed at him to sleep , to stay wrapped in the comfort of those cozy garnet blankets , something else stopped him from even considering it .

His pride .

His dignity .

His love !

Yes , his love .

It hurt a lot more because it was the one person he fell in love with .

He spared no time thinking of a smart comeback . Instead , Beauty threw those blankets away , angrily , having his mind set on leaving that room as soon as possible .

Kaname just stood there , unfazed , monitoring the other's actions until they were a feet apart .

" Where are you planning to go ? " He seemed to pin the younger in place with just a gaze ,

Beauty squirmed , all the while avoiding eye contact , wanting nothing but to drown in tears at how pathetic he must have looked.

" DO YOU THINK I ENJOY IT ? Do you think I enjoy doing this .. "

that was the first time Kuran has raised his voice . He paused to gulp before adding in a low tone , averting his eyes elsewhere .

" .. Doing this to you ? "

the silverette searched those beautiful eyes for sincerity , thinking that maybe within those fine lines around his beautiful and mysterious brown orbs , the hidden truth lied . His brownish lilac eyes that changes interchangeably into coal black were one of the many things that attracted Zero in the first place.

the brunette made his way to the huge bed , flopped down , face buried in his hands in shame .While zero stood there , watching the scene of regret unfold before his eyes . Then a voice whispered to him.

It only grow stronger and stronger , urging him to make a move.

A very brave one.

The next thing he knew , he was walking to where the vampire was sitting , kneeling before him and..

A kiss happened .

Kaname's eyes widened before he processed the fact Beauty had just kissed him.

In a flash , he lifted Zero up from a kneeling position and threw him to bed , hovering over him.

" What do you think you are doing ? Who gave you permiss- "

" Shush ! " the silverette cut him shortly before adding " Kuran Kaname . You scare people away when you are actually the only one scared ! You are scared of showing yourself , of love . Scared of the tiny fracture I made deep there in your heart , because it could open it ! "

Taken aback by the human's sudden courage , the Beast got too shaken up that he retreated , intending to back away. but the younger left him no choice . The smaller had the elder's face caught in between his hands , as if he had vowed to himself he would make the oblivious vampire understand .

They engaged into an intense and long eye-contact session before Kaname coldly clarified " I don't love and more importantly , can't be loved. "

He pushed his body off and away from the bed , concluding their talk .

" Stubborn and weak ! " Muttered Zero as he too , abandoned the bed . but Kaname still heard it .

In a swift moment , Beauty was thrown out of the room and the door slammed on his face , almost .

It almost ruined his nose , more precisely , Kaname almost ruined Zero's nose !

" Hey ! Kaname . KURAN FREAKING KANAME ! How dare you do that ?! "

The silver haired beauty raged . He didn't even know how and where he got all that courage , energy and anger from .

" Open up , we are not done talking ! I'm gonna nag at you till morning . Hey ! "

Knocks

Knocks Knocks Knocks Knocks Knocks Knocks Knocks

KNOCKING .

And yet more KNOCKING .

Zero was about to knock once more but the door suddenly swayed open too fast for him to keep his balance he almost stumbled but did not , for he was caught by a familiar pair of arms and trapped in a surprisingly gentle & heavenly prison that was Kaname's lips in a completely unexpected kiss !

Beauty blinked few times , waiting for the vampire to retreat and snap at him but it never happened .

Kaname's hands were wrapped around Beauty's waist , securely trapping him against the door .

They stayed there , those hands stayed there !

The kiss lingered .

And lingered.

As the brunette angled his head a bit , adding pressure , Beauty's heart could have escaped its rib-cage.

Kaname was actually kissing him !

Did the little conversation get through his heart ?

Would he back away , regretting it ?

Was that happening ?

Did that mean Kaname had liked him too .. ?

Or was it another attempt of his to hurt Beauty ?

Nearly dying from that alone , the silverette tried breaking free , whimpering , his heart not ready for another painful rejection - to say the least - .

However , he couldn't . Kaname kept him in place , as if telling him those thoughts were nowhere near the truth.

With that , Beauty Forgot everything and closed his eyes , returning the kiss , with the same amount of passion . His hands traveled to the elder's nape , planning to encircle them around the beast's neck . but he felt hesitant , scared that any tiny movement could ruin the moment.

The Beast 's lips were surprisingly soft and moist against Beauty's petite ones . His tongue seemed to know where to wander , sinfully leaving the younger panting for more .

Beauty felt a tickling sensation in his mouth and instinctively gripped Kaname's neck tighter , feeling butterflies dance about his body.

Wait ?

When did he even grant him permission to enter his cavern ?

" I didn't think you knew those things ~ " teased Zero as soon as they broke their kisses.

Kaname had to let out a deep sigh , gaze sexy and hair slightly messed up around his ear , some strands pushed behind whilst some fell over his face . Those that fell over his visage came to be on the same length as the corner of his lips , hence the fact they turned Beauty on.

Zero had never , not even once , thought of or imagined the elder doing those stuff . Yes , he loved kaname but he could never allow his mind to wander far enough in fantasies to imagine such things . plus , kaname being the cold beast had helped a lot in it.

" Those things needn't be known."

smirked the brunette , breathing hot against Beauty's neck as he startled nibbling on the flesh there .

" They are natural instincts , Beauty ~ "

Kaname bit on the younger's earlobe , supporting his point , causing the silverette to gasp and blush furiously .

" You are one hell of a sexy beast ! "

chuckled Zero right before he let those words of confession roll past his tongue .

Because there is no spell that Love can not repeal .
