Sixth Sweet- Kinda Tasty
Pairing/Characters: Non-graphic KanamexZero
Summary: As most people know, Kaname Kuran has people to cook for him... However, when it comes to his dear Zero, the pureblood wants to do it himself- even if he seems to forget that he doesn't quite know how. Even so, Zero still takes it in stride...
Note: Once again inspired by a conversation Byakko-sama~! :3 When I asked her how her steak tasted, she said "Kinda tasty..." which is where the title comes from. There WILL be a follow-up drabble so don't freak out when you get to the bottom. ;3
Read, Enjoy, Review~

He drew his lips into a tight line as he looked at the meat he'd just finished preparing... Well... what he thought he'd prepared. Kaname had done what he thought was necessary to cook a nice steak for his lover, Zero, but... it felt wrong. The pureblood put his hands on his hips and closed his eyes. Okay, so he knew that he possibly could have deviated from the original recipe a bit, but it couldn't be that bad! Kaname was considering just throwing it away and making one of the maids he's got running around the villa cook one for Zero, but...
"Zero always cooks for me..." he murmured, opening his eyes to fix them on the steak. It didn't look bad. No, in fact, it looked like it would be tender and juicy, browned nicely and surrounded by carrots and potatoes as it was, but Kaname knew better. Ah, he'd still only serve the best to his beloved, though, so he'd have to get rid of this one and start over.
Unfortunately for Kaname, he'd lost track of the time during the first run, and his silver-haired companion was home within a second of making the decision to begin again. The brunette was absorbed with remembering where exactly he'd made an error and just barely noticed Zero's long-registered aura until the two arms slipped around his waist from behind. Kaname tensed and wished the hunter's presence put him on edge like it used to when they first got together... now his body kind of ignored it or responded eagerly, but at the moment, he just turned around in the other's loose hug.
Zero leaned in and kissed the older vampire gently before nuzzling into the curve of his shoulder, purring happily, "I'm home early..."
Kaname couldn't stop the coil of heat that curled up pleasantly in his lower belly at his lover's soft lips moving against his skin, but he shifted his weight and put his arms around Zero too.
"I see."
The ex-human moved his whole body against Kaname, seeming needy for the pureblood's contact and said pureblood chuckled, the steak a few inches behind them worrying the crap out of him. Kaname didn't want Zero to eat it... besides, the younger vampire seemed like he was in a really good mood and the brunette was usually the one who had to get the other aroused enough. But Zero was definitely in the mood and he pressed his hips harder to his lover's greedily, making the older vampire bite back a moan. As a hint of aroused red crept into Zero's eyes, Kaname momentarily just wanted to throw the hunter on the floor and have his way, but the pureblood took a step back, his rear bumping against the plate on the counter. It clinked softly, alerting the silver-haired vampire to its existance.
As Kaname closed his eyes in frustration, Zero leaned around to see what it was. He'd noticed the scent of the food, of course, but he'd been thinking of his dear pureblood aaaalll day...
"What's that?"
"..."
Zero looked back at Kaname who just shrugged a shoulder.
"Nothing. I was going to throw it away- don't mind it."
Immediately, the silvery-lilac eyes widened and he stepped around the pureblood, grabbing up the plate.
"What?! No! You made this? I want to try it."
Kaname looked back at Zero and was mildly flattered that his lover would really want to eat something that he'd made, but he was more aware of the fact that it wasn't very good...
"Zero..."
But the hunter was already setting the plate on the other counter and cutting into it with a knife. He looked rather excited to eat the steak, but Kaname just slightly laced his fingers together before him as he leaned back against the counter where Zero left him. The pureblood's body language was uncharacteristically nervous.
Kaname wore a mask of soft indifference, but inside he tensed as a bit of steak disappeared into Zero's mouth...
...
After showing no emotion as he chewed and swallowed, Zero rose his gaze to his lover and said, "Kaname."
"Mm."
"I think you burnt it and kept it raw at the same time..."
The strange sinking feeling that Kaname labeled as 'failure' made him flinch, but he just smiled. It was Zero- he would never treat it like some huge gash in a star.
"I told you I wasn't going to feed it to you."
Zero laughed in such a way that the pureblood couldn't seem to take as offensive and the hunter stood facing him.
"Well, it was still kind of tasty, so don't worry. I'll teach you how to cook one day. You could have asked me if you wanted to learn."
The brunette nodded and he visibly brightened at the prospect of Zero teaching him how to cook which meant that they could have more happy memories together. But as he imagined 'accidentally' getting whipped cream all over the hunter, a familiar air of devious heat seemed to radiate from the younger vampire. Kaname focused to see a pair of lavender, crimson-speckled eyes staring at him with a whole other kind of hunger.
Zero smirked and approached the leaning pureblood once more.
"But... I know something that's tastier than any food I've ever had..."

Author's Notes: Teehee~ Yeah... Kind of difficult to read because I had to keep it short, I think, but review please! :3
