Chapter Six: Confronting His Demons
Zero stood in the the dark room, letting his eyes adjust. He saw the dark outline of the vampire laying on the bed. He could smell the blood from Kaname's painful actions the day before. Zero moved closer to the bed, gazing upon his very own Sleeping Beauty . Kaname looked somewhat peaceful, but the torment and pain didn't leave him, even as he slept. He sighed and sank to the floor.
"Kaname?"
His voice was gentle and Kaname sighed in response. Zero poked his kneecap and whispered his name again. The vampire shifted, but still did not wake up.
"Kaname!" The vampire started and sat up, hair tumbling into his face.
When the pureblood's eyes found Zero on the floor, he glared at first. The look was quickly washed away when he saw the tears on Zero's face. Kaname's face softened immediately.
"What's wrong?"
"You. You haven't been right since I hurt you… I'm sorry. My hunter side came through when I didn't want it to. I never meant to hurt you."
"But you did. You meant what you said."
"No! I didn't know what I was saying."
"Level D vampire you didn't mean it, but hunter Zero Kiryu meant it." Kaname slid off the bed and sat next to the silver haired boy.
Zero looked at him, tears falling even more.
"I'm so scared!" Zero hugged his knees to his chest. "What am I supposed to do? I'm never going to figure it out!" He slammed his forehead against his knees.
"Hey," Kaname laid his hand on the back of Zero's head, "whatever there is to figure out, we'll figure it out together. Okay? I'm here. I've been conflicted to, you know. I mean really, what would the high and mighty powers of vampiric society say about a pureblood taking a level D as a consort? But I decided that I didn't care. I'm more powerful than any of them. If anyone tried anything with you or me, well… I'd tear out their heart. I decided that I love you, no matter what, and fuck what anyone else will think."
Zero raised his head and looked Kaname dead in the eyes. "Did you just.. You dropped the F bomb!"
Kaname chuckled and pulled Zero into an embrace. "Take it. You need it."
Zero, cheeks still wet with tears, shifted and gently bit his lover's neck.
