Chapter 10: Misconceptions and Doubts

A week. A week of a Sulking Zero. He was denying Kaname everyday. Ignoring him, not wanting to be alone with him, heck! Even having just a glimpse of eyecontact didn't happen! Kaname is going desperate. He was saddened by the sudden change of attitude, thus here he is also sulking, consulting Takuma on what to do. "Do you think he's angry... yep he's angry... I love him, do you think he still loves me? Maybe not... Do you think if I give him a gift, will he like it? Maybe..." Kaname has been at it for hours. Even Takuma could get angry. "Kaname-sama! Just talk to him!" Takuma shouted then left the sulking pureblood.

-Hours Later-

"Talk to him? How can I talk to him? I can't even get close to him... If I can get close to him... Will he talk to me? No, he'll just ignore me... But if he didn't, what will I say?" Kaname now is consulting Kain who just started to run away from the sulking pureblood. "Why is everybody running away from me? Do they also hate me? Shiki, what should I say to Zero if-" "I'm leaving." "Aidou-" "Sorry Kaname-sama, Kain texted me. I should go now." With that Aidou ran towards where Kain disappeared. Shiki walked towards the library, which he knows Takuma is.

Kaname sighed then walked around the dorm with a downcast look. Then he saw an angel. He looked out of the window. He saw Zero in the middle of a field of white lilies. He stared, and stared, and stared, and stared, then sighed. He walked towards his room with a defeated look.

-With Zero-

"I think you should talk to him." Kain said as he saw Zero in the middle of a field of whites liles. "No." "But he's bugging everyone! Asking many questions! It's becoming annoying!" Aidou shouted scratching his head frustratedly. "Still no." "Why?!" Aidou and Kain shouted at the same time. "He took so long and it's lonely. I hate it. This is his punishment!" Zero pouted with puppy eyes which made the two go over their decisions. When they did Zero did a victory sign. Suddenly, Zero picked three white lilies. "Three days." Zero suddenly said. Kain and Aidou looked at him. "I'll give him ten days. Let's see if he's gonna court me and take my heart away again." Zero said then left with the three white lilies.

Zero went towards his room. He placed the three lilies on a white vase with amethyst and brown linings. He sighed, he also have missed the purelood, but his anger is much more heavier than missing the other. He sighed then went towards his bed. He slept peacefully unaware of the turmoil he caused.

-With Shiki, Kain, Aidou, and Takuma-

"How can we get Kaname-sama to court Zero?" Aidou said with a dark look. "It's not gonna be easy, his self-confidence dropped very low..." Takuma said. "How about we just tell him that?" Shiki said. "It might give him motivation, because Zero haven't given up on him, yet." Kain said while the others looked at each other.

"Let's give it a try."

-With Kaname-Day 1-

Takuma and the others others decided to tell Kaname right now. "Kanam-sama?" Takuma knocked on the door. Kaname said, "Come in." He was drowning himself in work. Takuma sighed. "Zero, gave you three days." Shiki said and at the mention of Zero's name Kaname became depressed. "He said if you decided to court him, within three days and successfully taken his heart again. He will talk with you." Kain said while Kaname stared at them. "Seriously?" Kaname asked as hope shone into his eyes but as soon as he felt hope, he felt dread.

"I can't do it..." Kaname sighed then felt lifeless. The three others looked at him with a bit of fury. "What did you say?" Takuma's smile turned scary. Shiki was smiling too much. Aidou is glaring at everything. Kain is losing his cool. These were rare times, espescially that Kaname is showing too much emotion, mostly negative. "I can't-" "Shut up! Didn't you tell us that you love him?! Then at least try!" Takuma shouted while Kaname looked at him with a bit teary eyed. "B-but he hates me..." Kaname's face fell on him desk.

The four sighed. "Do you love him?" Shiki asked, now with his normal face. Kaname nodded his head. "Then court him. It's as easy a-" "I can't, he hates m-" "If he hates you, why did he give you a chance." Aidou said as Kaname fell silent. Kaname thought about it. "Y-YOU'RE RIGHT! THANKS BYE!" Kaname shouted as he raced out of his room. Kain and the others looked at him surprised. "He's not gonna make it." Shiki suddenly said. "SHIKI!" "I mean, he needs to act normal. The confident pureblood who plans everything." Shiki said while eating a pockey. Takuma looked at his lover surprised. Aidou and Kain sighed.

-With Zero-

Zero was walking out in the back garden, when he suddenly heard someone call him. "Zero!" Said person wasn't able to look back when strong arms hugged him from behind, giving him nostalgia. "I've found you, Zero~" Kaname purred into Zero's ear. Zero moaned at the hot breath. Zero squirmed then Kaname hugged him tighter. "Thank you for giving me three days. Now can I have a date with you?" Kaname asked as Zero shivered. "Y-you're an idiot!" Zero stuttered as he blushed. Kaname chuckled at this. "I'm sure I'm an idiot for you." Kaname said as he inhaled Zero's scent. "How so?" Zero yet again nostalgia. "For the moment do you want to dance?" Kaname asked as he let go of Zero, extending an arm towards the other.

Nostalgia it was all Zero felt. Then tears slowly began to fall from his face. Kaname panicked, he kissed the tears away. "Shh... why are you crying? Did I hurt you? I did didn't I? What can I do for you?" Kaname asked frantically. He's concerned for Zero. He only wanted Zero to be happy with him. Call it cheesy, but that's what he wants, but Zero was still feeling the nostalgia. It hurts him. He thought about the past Kaname and the Kaname now. He didn't know the past Kaname too well, but here is the now Kaname showing him every expression that the past and now Kaname shared.

Zero wasn't even sure anymore if the past Kaname is still the same now. "I-it's n-noth-nothing..." Zero said as Kaname embraced him lovingly. Don't mistake Zero, he loves both the past and now Kaname. He's just scared that some things might have change and Kaname might prefer something else. He just didn't want to lose Kaname. He's scared to lose him again. He felt Kaname die that day. He couldn't tell the others. His body is asleep but his mind isn't.

Zero continued to cry until he fainted into Kaname's arms. Kaname took him to a nearby bench. He sat and laid Zero's body. He made his lap useful for the sleeping Zero. Then windows cracked from afar, probably from the Day Class dorm. The nearby people shrunk in fear as the pureblood princess unleashed her anger.

"How dare you take Kaname-niisama away from me?!"
