Restaurant
Kaname straightened up to come to face to with Akira. Their face was so close that they could feel each others breath. Their eyes connected heatedly and unconsciously, Kaname leaned down closer and...was interrupted by the squeal of the maid.
The two shocked boys looked at the way where the sharp squeal came from, to find a nose-bleeding maid staring at them. The maid blushed at their intense stares and stuttered nervously, ''S-orry. Ple-ase con-tinue. I was j-ust leav-ing.'' The maid dash out of the room with full speed, wishing she wouldn't have interrupted the hot scene.
Once again, Kaname looked at Akira and with some difficulty, straightened up, sitting on the edge of the bed. A small blush dusting his cheeks, ''Sorry." He apologized guiltily. What the hell was I thinking? Was I going to kiss innocent Akira like ? Why would I do that? I don't like Akira in that way... or do I? Nah... That's impossible. I am sure that I like Akira as my best friend. Now how will I explain my actions to Akira. Grr... Fate sure hates me!'
While Kaname was having a battle with his inner-self, Zero was lying there, staring emotionally at the ceiling. 'Why did my heart started beating so rapidly? I felt like my whole body would explode, in a good way, mind you. I haven't felt this kind of feelings in my entire life. To tell you the truth, I don't know what these feelings are even are. Are these feelings for having such a good friend like Kaname? Guess so. This is the best I could describe.'
Zero also straightened up and looked at Kaname, whose back was only visible to him from this position. He slowly crawled over to Kaname and hugged the trembling creature from behind.
Kaname shocked by the comforting embrace, looked at Akira with so much emotions in his eyes. He didn't know why he was opening so much to a stranger that he met just weeks ago, but his heart told him that he could trust Akira. He was feeling like this because Akira was the only one who get so close to him. Even Takuma wasn't such a close friend to him.
Zero gently caressed the wavy brown hair of Kaname, enjoying the softness of such fine hair. 'Wow! Kaname's hair is just like silk. It feels so good on my fingers.' Zero began to hum slightly, still stroking gently Kaname's hair.
Kaname tension flew out of the window as the stroking of hair began. 'Um...it feels so good.' Kaname delved deeper in Akira's chest, wanting to feel more warmth from the others body.
Zero chuckled at Kaname's childish behavior. He sure hasn't met such a kind and caring pure-blood like Kaname Kuran before. Most of the vampires he met were so egoistic and arrogant that he wanted to beat them so badly, but unfortunately that would break the peace treaty between the vampires and hunters.
One time a pure-blood wanted to have his way with Zero, but Zero killed him before that stupid pure-blood could even touch him. This of course caused an uproar in the Vampire Council, but they quieted down when Zero threatened to erase the Vampire Council from this world.
The Vampire Council knew that this could possibly happen for Kiryuu Zero was as much powerful as a pure-blood and had good connections with well-known pure-bloods and hunters. They also knew that the pure-blood vampires didn't fancy them so much and would happily assist the hunter president to wipe them out, so with a heavy heart, they decided to not charge Zero this time.
His thoughts were interrupted by the cool lips pressed to his own. Shocked Zero looked down to see mischievous, but some curiosity brown eyes looking at him in great interest.
Akira's chuckle had caught Kaname's attention. He had looked up to see what amusing thing had made Akira chuckle like that, but could only see the space out expression one the other's face.
''Akira...'' Kaname called out gently. Hoping to gain Akira's attention.
''….'' Silence from the other side.
''Akira-kun..." Kaname tried again.
''….'' Dead silence met Kaname's calling.
Kaname flushed in anger and shouted, ''AKIRA, YOU JERK!''
''….'' Again no response. The frozen silence stretching.
Kaname briefly wondered if Akira was possibly deaf. He thought hard to think of way to have Akira's attention. An evil idea came to his mind as he gave full evil smirk to the still gazed human. He sure would have Akira's attention now.
Kaname slightly leaned forward and pressed his lips to Akira's. He smirked once again as he saw the shocked face of the other.
''W-hy?" A shocked Zero manage to say as the little kiss ended.
Kaname chuckled and licked his lips seductively, '' Because you are just too cute and if you have forgotten, you are still my blushing bride.'' Kaname was about to continue, but Akira passed out from getting too much blood in his head. He went to Akira's side worriedly, but relaxed to see that Akira had only passed out.
''So much for getting Akira's attention." Kaname gave a heavy sigh to himself as he covered Akira with a blanket. 'But this gave me a chance to see such a beautiful face of an angel's.' He chucked at himself for being to sappy.
Zero groaned as he woke up from his sleep. He felt refreshed after resting so much for he didn't find any rest between the school and nightly patrols. 'But how did I fall asleep?' Zero thought to himself. After some moments, yesterday's memories flashed in his mind, color red painting on his face.
''KANAME!''
Kaname sighed for umpteenth time as he was lectured from Akira as to why not kiss a male. He looked over the beautiful ocean, ignoring Akira's ranting. They were now in the hotel's restaurant. He had made special reservation for this seat, which was on the veranda and gave really nice view of the ocean, for he liked the nature very much.
He had nearly begged Akira, nearly, to come with him in this restaurant and discuss the matter in hand.
Akira had protested first, but after some more requesting from Kaname, he had submitted and went along with the pure-blood.
''….me.''
''..name.''
''Kaname.''
''Kaname-senpai!''
Kaname came out of his thoughts from the shout of his name and looked over to see a fuming Akira. He chuckled at the other's temper and reached out his hand to ruffle the silver hair of Akira's.
Zero's temper grew at Kaname's chuckle and was going to lash out at the other, but was smoothly interrupted by Kaname,
''I am sorry, Akira.'' Kaname apologized feeling guilty for making the other boy mad. He made those puppy eyes that would make anyone fall for it.
Zero's left eye twitched slightly at what Kaname was doing. He just couldn't say 'no' to those eyes. With a heavy sigh, he mumbled, ''Forgive you.''
Kaname's eyes suddenly brightened and he happily thanked Akira.
Zero too embarrassed, blushed and threatened Kaname to stop or he will leave. That quieted down the pure-blood a little, but after some moments he started talking about irrelevant things with him.
Their comfortable conversation was abruptly stopped when an unknown female lunged herself at Kaname, knocking him down on the floor.
''Kana-chan, how are you? I missed you so very much!'' The beautiful girl said happily to her long-childhood friend.
Kaname, who was still recovering from the impact, recognized instantly his childhood friend's name.
''Ash!'' Kanme hugged the girl resulting the girl to squeal.
''So glad you remembered me. I thought you have forgotten about me. You have grown to a very handsome young man, Kaname!'' Ash said as she looked over Kaname.
As the two childhood friends talked, a irritated hunter was looking at them unamused. 'Kaname, this girl comes and you forgot all about me? How impolite! The girl is beautiful and all with black hair and red eyes, but still it doesn't mean that Kaname have to ignore me like that! Grr...How I wish I can tear her in to pieces.' Unknown to himself, Zero was quite jealous. He didn't recognize this feeling for it was the first time he has this feeling. To him this feeling was irritation for Kaname ignored him the second time this evening.
Trying his best to calm his irritation, Zero cleared his throat to gain the attention of the other two who were still talking.
Kaname looked at Akira first, clearly seeing the irritation of the other. He apologized through his eyes and Akira nodded that he understands.
Kaname smiled and started the introduction,
''Ash, this is Akira Seto, my friend and we go to the same school. He is also one of the prefect.'' Ash smiled and nodded her had to Akira.
''Akira, this young lady is my childhood friend, Asheena Shirubaki, she is the younger sister of Sara Shirubaki. There are the third most powerful pure-blood family after the Hio family.'' Zero also nodded her head, already knowing who she was.
''Its nice to meet you Akira-kun!'' Ash exclaimed cheerfully.
''Same here.'' Zero smiled. 'She is not that bad.'
Ash leaned over the table to study Akira's face. She was sure that she had seen him somewhere, but the question was, where?
''Umm... Akira-kun, Have we met before?'' Ash asked her suspicion.
Zero sweat-dropped, this was so not happening. Zero knew who she was because he met her long ago in a ball. They had only introduced themselves, so it wasn't such a big deal. He even forgot her face, but only remembered her name. Surely she could have forgotten about him, right?
'' Ha ha... You must have seen me somewhere in this town. I really like visiting many places.'' Zero lied smoothly. He never really liked to visit public places. Hope she believed what he said.
Ash was hesitant to believe that, but gave in. Akira was right, she sure must seen him somewhere in this town. ''Okay, Akira-kun.''
Ash forgot everything till now when she heard the music. Her ears perked up as an idea came to her mind, ''Kana-chan, let's go dancing. I haven't danced for a long time.'' She grabbed Kaname's arm and let him inside the restaurant where many couple started dancing.
Zero gave a relieved sigh, 'That was close.' He then looked longingly at the couple. Ash and Kaname looked so beautiful together. He imagined himself in Ash's place, dancing with Kaname. Would he and Kaname look as much as beautiful? Zero blushed at that thought and shook his face to stop that train of thought.
In reality, it hurt very much. For some reason, he didn't like Ash and Kaname getting along so well. He wanted that Kaname would only get along with him only. Zero knew it was a selfish request, but he couldn't help it.
He threw a last glance at Kaname, before he disappeared in the night.
''Kaname...''
Kaname looked over, for he had heard his name, to see an empty table with Akira nowhere to be seen.
He stopped his dance and panicked slightly, where did Akira go? He was going to look for him, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
''Kaname what's wrong?" Ash asked worriedly.
''Akira is gone. I have to find him.'' Kaname replied in a hurry.
Ash sighed, but smiled at the same time, her friend could be such a worry-wart sometimes, ''Kaname, Akira-kun is not a baby. Surely he must have gone back to his room or to the washroom. He was really looking tired.'' Ash explained gently, calming Kaname down a little.
Kaname looked at Ash for a moment and gave in, ''I guess so.'' Then they resumed dancing, Kaname still worrying about Akira.

O.M.A.K.E {What Zero really wanted to do}
''Ash-chan, come here please.'' Zero called sweetly, but he inside he was laughing evilly.
''Hai, Akira-kun.'' Ash happily jumped to where Akira was.
Zero grabbed her hand and threw her over the railing, in the ocean, '' Good-Bye Ash-chan.''
''AHHHHH!'' Ash screamed as she fall from the veranda and then drowned in the ocean.
Zero smiled sweetly and waved slightly. Then he went to find his Kaname.
When he found Kaname, he grasped the other male's arm and started dancing with him.
''That's unexpected.'' Kaname said in a surprised tone.
''Nothing is unexpected from me, Kaname.'' Zero kissed the the vampire on the cheek and the happy couple continued their dancing.

Zero hugged the pillow tighter so he could hide his face from Kaname.
''Akira, you are really cute.'' Kaname chuckled as he hugged the boy tighter.
