A short time later, Harry and Kaname were at a restaurant sitting down at a table for two, the atmosphere was quite romantic. There was beautiful music been played in the background, the tables were lit with candles, and there was some room for people to dance.
"This place sure is romantic Kaname," commented Harry as he looked around the room.
Kaname gave a smile, "Do you like it, Harry–kun?"
Harry gave a nod, a light blush across his cheeks, "Yes, it's very beautiful, I really like it."
"Good, I'm glad. Later would you like to dance?"
Harry averted his eyes away from Kaname's for a moment, looking slightly embarrassed,
"Um...er...sure ...but I don't really know how to." he mumbled quietly.
"Is that so? So you don't have any experience at all?"
The colour brightened in the human's cheeks, "W-well...I ...I...Went to a Yule ball once when ...when I was 14 years old ...but I...I ...don't think I was any good at it"
The pure-blooded vampire gave a slight chuckle of amusement, "Well then, I will be happy to be the one to teach you."
Staring at Harry as he sat opposite Kaname blushing, the vampire couldn't help but be strongly reminded of Harry's current weak physical condition.
Kaname gave Harry a gentle smile before suggesting that they order something to eat, he didn't think that Harry had been eating alot lately.
The vampire's date stared at Kaname for a few moments, Harry gave a nod and mumbled a small "Okay"
Kaname called waitress over to the table to get their orders, he smiled an indifferent polite smile at the girl and ordered some meals for Harry and himself to eat.
After the waitress left the pureblood turned to his date , a gentle and kind expression now etched on his face "How was your week Harry?" He asked.
"Fine..." said Harry and after a quick moment added, "I really missed you though..."
The vampire allowed a chuckle to escape from his lips, he too in a way missed the human. "I missed you too Harry-kun." Kaname said softly .
There was a brief silence between them, Harry had a light blush on his cheeks at the vampire's last words.
A thoughtful expression was on Harry's face as he then said "Kaname you can stop using honor-fics with me if ...if you want."
The pure-blooded vampire smiled, "Thank you Harry, I appreciate that" he said softly to the wizard. He felt a slight feeling of sadness as he remembered that Yuuki still couldn't address him without any honor-fics.
"Is my sister still bothering you Harry?" Kaname questioned softly, an expression of thoughtful concern carefully arranged on his face.
Harry gave a nod, "Yes, she is but it's alright Kaname, you don't have to talk to her about it, I can handle it. "
"Okay then Harry, but I wouldn't mind helping you out with this, all you have to do is ask me and I will"
Harry smiled and gave a nod, but he somehow had a feeling that even if Yuuki attacked him he probably would just keep it to himself and not ask for any help from anyone at all.
When Harry's and Kaname's meals were served to them, they both heard some noise near them, interrupting their peace. Kaname glanced towards the direction of the noise and suppressed a satisfied smirk. At a nearby table Yuuki and Zero were eating together. After a few moments Zero noticed Kaname and his eyes narrowed. The vampire hunter then shot a smirk at Kaname's direction before leaning across the table to kiss Yuuki. The elder Kuran watched for a moment as Zero kissed Yuuki, a mixture of jealousy, anger and sadness filling him as he watched, though he kept the exact same expression as before. When Yuuki and Zero finally broke away from each other to eat Yuuki noticed Harry and Kaname together, her eyes almost instantly narrowed with anger. Deciding to put part of his plan in action in order to further Yuuki's apparent jealousy, Kaname directed his full attention towards Harry. A gentle frown crossed his face when he realized that Harry wasn't really eating much at all.
"Is something wrong Harry? You have barely touched your food, are you not hungry?" Kaname asked softly.
Harry looked to Kaname and saw what looked like genuine concern displayed on the vampire's pale face. Not wanting to worry the other man, Harry forced what was supposed to be a reassuring smile and started to eat to ease Kaname's worried expression.
"Yeah, I'm fine Kaname" he said.
Kaname stared at Harry for a few moments, disbelief in his eyes, but he accepted this answer anyway.
"Well, good then," Kaname said before reaching his hand across the table to take a hold of one of Harry's hands. The gesture caused Harry to blush lightly.
Kaname chuckled and smiled gently at Harry, "You are very beautiful, Harry"
Harry's face reddened and Kaname's smile grew when he saw a small shy smile appear slowly on the other man's face.
'Good...I'm glad I am able to make you smile, Harry. You deserve to be happy,' thought Kaname, not letting the smaller hand go just yet.
Kaname shot a quick glance over at Zero's and Yuuki's table and was very satisfied to see Yuuki glaring at Harry and could sense her jealousy from where he sat . Harry hadn't noticed Yuuki or Zero yet. All of the human's attention remained on his plate and on his date. For the rest of the time that Harry ate, Kaname continued to hold his hand, and when the Kuran was satisfied with the amount of food that Harry had eaten, he let go of the human's hand. The pureblood vampire then cupped Harry's blushing face with both hands and kissed him softly upon the lips.
Kaname, after a quick moment, broke the chaste kiss. He stood up and offered his hand to Harry, a charming smile upon his face.
"Harry would you like to dance?"
Harry nodded, at the same time cursing himself for continuing to blush so easily. He accepted the vampire's hand shyly and got to his feet. They both then went over to the dance floor, where they just stood for a few moments. Being the one with more experience with ballroom dancing, Kaname helped Harry put his hands in the right places and told the human that he would lead and that all the green-eyed man would have to do was hold on to him and follow. While they danced Kaname noticed how close Harry was to him and glanced over at Yuuki's and Zero's table.
Zero had an angry glare on his face. The silver haired man's eyes narrowed and were settled on Harry and Kaname. The Kuran could see the vampire hunter had reached for something in his clothes and was gripping it tightly. The pure-blooded vampire could only assume it was the anti- vampire gun, Bloody Rose. Kaname could understand why the vampire hunter was so ill at ease with how close he was to Harry's neck, but the Kuran had no desire to bite his dance partner.
Yuuki was still glaring at Harry, furiously and with great envy. The smile on Kaname's face broadened. He could practically sense the murderous intent coming off the female vampire.
'That's it, Yuuki. Be jealous. Be jealous and come back to me,' Kaname thought to himself. 'It won't be long now. After today, I will only have to push a little further.'
A short while later Kaname paid for their meals and started to escort Harry home. He was very happy with how today had gone. He had made very good progress and he was looking forward to being with Yuuki again very soon. As they walked side by side Kaname noticed that Harry seemed to wear a sad smile upon his face and was silent as they walked.
"Harry, did you enjoy tonight?" Kaname questioned, hoping that the dark haired man had fun with him as he would most likely have to end their "relationship" soon.
Harry gave a nod, "Yes Kaname, thank you. Um...I hope I was good company for you. I'm sorry if I've seemed a bit depressed lately."
The pure-blooded vampire gave Harry's hand a gentle squeeze in comfort, gave a small reassuring smile, and said softly "Do not worry Harry, I had fun tonight. You are very good company and yes I have noticed that you appear very miserable, but that is hardly your fault."
Kaname turned his head away from Harry and for a quick moment as there was a cold, angry look in his eyes. He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of who was responsible for causing the human beside him to be in such a miserable state. When they were about halfway to Cross Academy, Kaname stopped. Harry, seeing Kaname pausing in his tracks, stopped as well.
Harry stared at Kaname and was silent for a moment before asking if anything was wrong
Kaname gave a chuckle, raised his hands to cup Harry's face and looked into those beautiful green eyes of Harry's. Green eyes widened and he tensed up slightly at the touch.
The vampire couldn't help but smile sadly at the man before him.
"Harry I don't want you to hide your pain from me by lying about it. If you are hurting from your past relationship with that vampire hunter, just come to me and I will comfort you."
Tears welled up in Harry's eyes and ran down his cheeks. "I'm sorry"
"It's alright, Harry. I don't blame you," Kaname said kindly, "But please do try to come to me. I do care about you and do not like to see you miserable."
Harry gave a nod, "I'm sorry, I'll try," he said.
Kaname gave a chuckle, "Don't apologize, Harry," the Kuran said before he closed the gap between their lips and kissed the wizard softly.
After a moment Kaname broke the kiss, wiped away the human's tears and took his hands away from Harry. Harry stared at Kaname, his face blushing and his heart beating wildly as Kaname then took a hold of his hand and continued to walk him safely home.
At the academy, Kaito stood outside of Harry's room, a glare upon his face as he stared at the door. Kaito's fists were shaking and clenched with anger, a mixture of anger and worry was showing in his eyes. He knocked on the door, waiting then for several minutes for the other man to answer. When he had finally given up on waiting he started to hear a pair of footsteps. They were faint at first but soon they grew louder as they got closer. Kaito turned around in the direction of the noise and assumed that it was Harry and that damned parasite, Kaname Kuran. The man quickly decided to wait for them to come to him.
It wasn't long before Kaname and Harry came into view and as he stared at them for a brief moment there was a look of fury and jealousy in his eyes that he couldn't quite hide. Kaito noticed that for some stupid reason Harry seemed to be staring at his feet as he walked, while holding an apparent firm grip upon the parasite's hand and leaning onto Kaname.
'What the hell is Harry up to? Doesn't he realize how easy it would be to be bitten by that pure blood?' Kaito thought to himself in anger.
Kaito then, as he saw no one else around in the hall, walked quickly forwards and stopped once he was right in front of the pair. Kaname looked at him with hatred and Harry who hadn't noticed his colleague yet looked up slowly revealing eyes that looked red and puffy, most likely from crying. When Kaito saw how Harry's face looked he couldn't help but feel the wave of guilt that seemed to wash through him , he was sure that whatever Harry was upset about it was all his fault .
"I want to talk to you Harry. Can we have a moment alone please?" Kaito asked, his voice sounding indifferent and uncaring to the state Harry was in.
Kaname narrowed his eyes in anger, distrust showing in his eyes, "Anything you have to say to Harry you can say if front of me" he said.
The vampire was certain that whatever Kaito wanted to say to Harry would only hurt him so of course he had no intention of leaving Harry alone with the vampire hunter. Kaito glared at Kaname, his loathing for the vampire clear in his eyes, then as if changing his mind turned his head away from Harry and muttered with irritation "Never mind, it doesn't matter. I'll talk to you about it during the week, Harry"
"Um...okay Kaito ..." said Harry quietly.
Kaito then walked off coolly and thought furiously to himself as he walked, 'It's only going to end badly I know it will. He'll never love you, Harry. I'm sorry that I hurt you when I left you but dating a disgusting monster isn't the way to go about it'
As he thought this, he felt a wave of regret wash through him because he knew that if he hadn't abandoned Harry the other man wouldn't be in the pathetic state he was in now.
When Kaito finally returned to his room he found that his hands were still shaking with the emotions that he was feeling as he waited for Harry and encountered the wizard with Kaname. Taking a deep breath, he unclenched his fists and stared at the wall opposite him, "I hope you know what you're doing Harry" he muttered to himself.
