Both Kaname and Zero dozed a little on each other's shoulders during the 6 hour ride to the European country. Kaname's private 'copter was small, but quiet- so there was nothing to stop them from falling asleep on occasion.

Zero was currently asleep with Kaname's arm around his waist, head nestled on his shoulder in the crook of his neck; Kaname sitting a little sideways to accommodate him. He was stroking the silver locks with a gentle touch, eyes soft and loving.

Their pilot was one of the only people Kaname trusted enough to know about their relationship that WASN'T one of the nobles in his inner circle. "He looks so peaceful sleeping like that..." the pilot commented, glancing back at them. "I still don't believe he ever hated you..."

Kaname chuckled lightly, "Sometimes even I don't believe myself..." he dipped his head to place a gentle kiss on Zero's hair. "Things are so different now... I've never been this happy in all my lives combined..."

The pilot smiled, "So when are you going to pop the question? It's not illegal anymore you know..."

The brunette turned red, "A-ah.. the... question?" he acted dumb even though he knew what he was talking about.

"You know... asking him to marry you... I know you're mates and all but... that's only a vampires bond... you should make it official in the human world too..."

Kaname smiled a little, "Maybe one day... when the right moment comes across..."

The pilot smiled again, "Well we're almost there so you better wake your man up..."

Kaname blushed, "Y-yeah..." he nudged Zero a little with his shoulder gently, stroking his cheek lovingly. "Hey love, we'll be starting to pass over some pretty cool sights soon, you should see this..."

Zero stirred a little, eyes adorably bleary and voice husky with sleep- which to Kaname always sounded sexy on his love. "Huh? O-oh... okay..." he sat up, rubbing his eyes and yawning, stretching his legs out in front of him; arms over his head and arching a little to stretch.

Kaname had to look away as to not get any ideas, "There are a few things you can see from here that are pretty nice... nothing in particular, but it's all Italy..."

The hunter smiled, looking out the window with now wider eyes, "Oh wow! Are those the Himalayans?"

The brunette nodded, "Some of them anyways... We'll be flying over Milano soon...we could make a stop in Verona if you wanted... or Venice..."

Zero thought for a moment, then shook his head; eyes lit up brightly. "I think I just want to go to the Villa..." his eyes turned a little smouldering, but only Kaname could see; they clearly red 'I want you...' despite how sleepy he'd just been.

Kaname's eyes widened a little, "Oh, okay... that's fine with me!" he smiled brightly, but his stomach was fluttering at that look in his eyes.

The hunter smirked at his mate, licking his lips a little, "So is it a big place?"

"Mmm, not really... It's about the size of the LA penthouse on the main level, and then only the bedroom and a bathroom are upstairs with a huge balcony overlooking the olive and grape orchards..." he sighed, smiling. "You know... I never really thought of it as a very special place but... I'm really excited to go with you..."

Zero blushed, "I'm sure it's beautiful Kaname..." he smiled reassuringly.

Kaname smiled back.

It was only about another hour before the 'copter hovered over a beautiful little house.

"It that it Kaname?" Zero asked, face almost pressed to the window.

The pureblood nodded. "Yes, Zero love. That would be the Kuran Villa..."

Zero's smile could have out shined the sun, "Its beautiful! It looks like just like something you'd see in the movies!"

Kaname smiled as they landed around the front of the villa on a grassy plane. He gathered up their bags, nodding to an impatient looking Zero that he could now safely get out of the 'copter.

The hunter almost leaped out and ran to the front door, with Kaname close in tow.

Zero flung open the front door, stepping inside. Then stopped and stared in awe. This place we perfect, a vision of Italian high end, but quaint. "It's beautiful..." he ran his hand over the beautiful detailing on the chair-railing. He walked in further, admiring everything.

Kaname couldn't keep the smile off his face. His cheeks hurt from smiling so much. He followed Zero to the kitchen, where his mate stopped dead and let out a rather girlish squeal.

"OH MY GOD! This kitchen is AMAZING!" he marvelled over the old wood stove, the pizza oven, the island, the counter tops, all of it! "I can't wait to cook in here!"

The pureblood laughed, "So I suppose that means you've forgotten ALL about ME?" he was just teasing, but as usual Zero took him seriously.

The hunter turned towards Kaname, eyes instantly worried that his lover was hurt over his zealousness over the kitchen, "No! No, of course not! Never!"

The brunette was still smiling, "It's alright love... I was just teasing you..."

Zero let out a breath, "So... can we check out the upstairs?"

Kaname nodded, "Of course..." he motioned for Zero to go ahead of him on the spiralling staircase.

The hunter walked up slowly, and when he got to the top he stopped, mouth hanging wide. The whole upstairs was the bedroom, a very large room with a canopy bed in the centre, over king sized, the sheets looked to be pure white and the canopy made of fine organza that looped and draped before falling to the floor in curtains around it. There were a couple side tables and a perfect little bench at the end of the bed. There was a grand chest of drawers with a large mirror on top, and a cozy fireplace with a small but plush looking loveseat in front of it. There was also a door leading to what he guessed was the bathroom. Along the far side it appeared to be all glass, curtains matching the bed drapes falling to the floor all along it.

"Is that wall..."

"It has what they call 'folding windows'... they all fold out to the sides to leave this area completely open... there is a really nice breeze in here when they are open, just enough to flutter the curtains... It also leads to the balcony..."

Zero looked over at him, "C-can we go out on the balcony?"

"Of course." Kaname walked over and unlocked the windows, pushing one to the side, then the other- using vampire speed as to not keep Zero waiting.

The hunter walked through the light curtains, observing how they now fluttered with a look of awe before looking out at the balcony before him. It too was furnished, with a fancy table for two and two chairs, and a swinging loveseat. But what captured Zero's attention was the beautiful view of the sunset he was getting; he walked forward to the beautiful railings, noting the decorative fountains on either side of the large open balcony.

"Kaname, this place is amazing..." he was whispering, though he didn't know why. He was looking and one of the most gorgeous sights he's ever seen, the sun dipping below the mountains, casting a warm glow over everything, creating an even more heavenly appearance for the landscape beyond the balcony.

Kaname smiled, walking up behind Zero, placing a hand on his far hip, arm wrapped around him and pulling him close to his side. "It is really beautiful... Now that I'm sharing it with you..." he rested his head on Zero's shoulder sweetly.

Zero licked his lips a little. "I want to take you right here..." it was a suggestive sentence, but his voice was soft.

The pureblood smiled, "Whatever you wish my love... I'm yours..."

Zero turned a little to face Kaname better, placing a gentle kiss to his lips. "You look so beautiful in the sunset baby..."
