A Secret Love
Chapter 9
Kain took strong and assertive strides towards Kaname's room. The brash sound of his brown polished shoes could be heard against the slightly dirty, wooden floor. The determined red- head hadn't even thought through exactly what he would say to Kaname, he didn't even know if he would be allowed to talk to the pure- blood. He knew the stoic vampire was not known to talk openly about his feelings, and this was definitely not an easy and painless topic to speak about.
What if the pure- blood completely denied the accusation? Then what? I mean I guess there is still a small possibility that kaname doesn't, well, swing that way; but it is almost one hundred percent obvious that he does.
Kain reached the tightly closed doors that hid Kaname kuran from the rest of the world. As he stood in front of the sturdy pieces of polished wood he brought his clenched fist to the door and knocked three times. Kain listened for a sign that the pure- blood was coming to open the door to let him in, but after a few seconds of waiting nothing stirred.
Kain sighed in frustration and knocked again, louder this time.
"I know you're in there Kaname!" was screamed at the door, his brows beginning to furrow together. There was still no sign of movement from the other side.
The red- head leaned against the wall next to the door.
"Please", he sighed in desperation, "I just want to talk".
Silence.
"Aido didn't mean what he said earlier. You know he never thinks before he speaks. It was meant to be just a harmless joke".
Kain heard Kaname walk toward the closed doors, but they never opened, instead he heard a quiet voice.
"Do you think I'm a…a…queer?"
That last word hurt Kain's heart, how could he even think that way?
"No, Kaname, no I don't".
Kain then tilted his head so he faced the wall, and in a hushed voice he asked the question.
"If I may ask, are you…well, you know…gay?" he whispered the last word.
"I…I guess I am".
"It's Zero isn't it? I've seen the way you look at him when you think no one else is paying attention; and the way Zero quickly turns away in embarrassment".
He smiled to himself, he pictured Kaname blushing from what was just said.
"You shouldn't feel bad about it, it's rather cute actually, the way you act towards him. Always making sure he is properly fed, and scolding the other vampires when they talk badly about him".
"You don't think it's disgusting?"
"No".
Finally the door creaked open, and two blood- shot eyes peeked through the small opening.
"Thank you".
Kain smiled, "no problem".
The door closed once again, and the hallway was silent as it was before. The red- head looked around hoping not to findanyone eaves dropping, to his good fortune there were no spying eyes around, none that he could detect anyway. He gave a sigh of relief and retraced his tracks where he left his cousin so abruptly.
