Yosh! Here comes another chapter.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT own Vampire Knight (;_;).

Warnings: Um…. None I guess.

Inspiration: Because everyone has a bad day sometimes.


Bad Day

Aidou stared down at the beautiful pancake glistening with syrupy goodness. Too bad the pancake was currently on the floor. Aidou poked out his bottom lip. Out of all of things to do why did he have to drop one of Zero's perfectly cooked pancakes? He glanced up when he heard Zero enter.

Zero entered the breakfast nook, instantly noticing the sad look on Aidou's face. "What happened?"

Aidou sighed. "I dropped it." He stepped over the pancake and strode to his mate. "Make me another one," he commanded.

Zero sat his plate of ramen noodles on the table and took his seat. "I have work usa-chan and if I make you another batch of pancakes I'll be late. So you're just going to have to eat something else and clean that up so we won't' have ants."

Aidou sighed heavily.

He disappeared from the room and returned with a mop and bucket.

Zero stood in the doorway bidding his lover farewell. He pressed a soft kiss to Aidou's full lips. "See you this evening."

Aidou nodded, closing his eyes when Zero caressed his cheek. "See you this evening."

Zero released the elfin vampire and descended the steps. He turned, remembering something. "And don't forget your umbrella. The weatherman says it's supposed to pour today." He waved and strode to his motorcycle.

Half an hour later, Aidou stood in the clearing dense smoke staring at the pancake that was burnt beyond recognition. "Shit." Figuring cooking himself a breakfast was a lost cause, he decided to go to bed and rest up for school.


Aidou jerked awake, eyes instantly finding the numbers on his clock. 11:30 a.m. His eyes widened. He was late! He hopped out of the bed using his superior speed to make the bed and find an outfit. After a short shower, he bolted out of the house, a piece of toast in his mouth, his bento box (Zero always fixed his lunch) in one hand, his keys in the other, and his backpack slung over his shoulder.

Locking the door to their townhouse, he dashed to his Audi, throwing everything on the passenger seat before cranking the car and peeling out of the driveway. He made it on campus in less than ten minutes, bringing the car to a screaming stop. He jumped out of the car. He opened the door to his first class, sighing when the professor noticed him.

"You're late Mister Aidou." The elderly man stated nonchalantly. "Have a seat."

Aidou walked up the steps leading to his seat, looking down at his fellow classmates.

The professor stood. "Now class… shall ve begin your chapter seven test." After the ten page test was give to all ten students the professor turned on the timer. "Begin."

Aidou handed in his test 15 minutes before the timer went off, confident that he would get a perfect mark. So you can imagine his surprise when he saw the 99 on his paper when his professor handed the graded test back to him. He shook his head, blinking to make sure his eyes weren't playing tricks. A 99! What the hell? "Professor, why did I get a 99? I answered every question correctly." He scanned the papers with his eyes, detecting no fault in his answers.

The professor nodded. "Ja you did," he stated, "but you failed to answer question 100." He flipped the booklet over, showing Aidou the question on the back of the last page.

Aidou's eyes widened. "But I didn't see it."

The man pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose. "I am sorry Mister Aidou, but zere are no take backsies in my classroom."

Aidou frowned when the other students chuckled. God he hoped this day did not get any worse.


Aidou sat down at the outdoor table. It was such a beautiful day, the clouds blocked the sun's rays and the birds were chirping happily, that he decided to eat outside. He opened his bento box, mouth nearly watering at the fired rice, sushi, bok choy salad, and beignets. "Oh yum." He looked in the box, sighing when he discovered the absence of eating utensils. He closed the lid halfway and strode into the cafeteria to get some chopsticks.

After waiting in line for ten minutes he returned. He sat at the secluded table (hopeful that no one would see him) and opened the lid. Fat black ants crawled over and through his food, biting off chunks to take back to their colony. "Noooo!" He growled peevishly and grabbed the bento box, dumping the food in the trashcan. What the fuck was going on? Why was this day shaping up to be so freaking terrible?

Throughout the remainder of the day fate continued to laugh at him. He realized he left his Advance Calculus book at home and received a half point against his record. His chemistry partner mixed the wrong chemical compounds and it exploded in his face. Not only had he been temporarily blinded but he had to take an emergency shower (which spits out 30-60 gallons per minute and stings like a son of a bitch), butt naked.

Aidou strode outside, negotiating his way through the sea of college scholars, just in time to see his car being hooked up to the back of a wrecker. His eyes widened. "No, no, no, no." He ran to the man hooking up his car. "Sir what are you doing? Why are you towing my car?"

The man, a rotund fellow with greasy hair, beady eyes, and wearing a jumpsuit, turned to him, cocking his hat to the side. "You parked in a 'no parking' zone."

"B-but I didn't see that—you see I was late and I just parked anywhere I could," he tried to explain hoping the man at least sympathized with him and let him off easy.

The man gave him an apathetic gaze. "Sorry kid, that ain't my problem. You want your car back you go to the impound lot." He finished hooking up the car and strode away, climbing into the wrecker.

Aidou watched with incredulous eyes as the man drove away, growling when the campus security guard handed him a ticket. He snatched the ticket and cursed a blue streak under his breath. He glared up at the sky. It seemed that the cosmic deities had it out for him today. They were probably laughing their asses off. Just as he was thinking that the worst was over, a clap of thunder echoed through the air and a sudden downpour decided to rub salt in the wound. Aidou's eyes narrowed as the rain pelted his body, drenching him. He sighed heavily, wanting to cry. Wasn't this just fucking great?


Zero pulled his motorcycle up the driveway, finding his lover sitting on the steps preceding the front door. He hopped off his motorcycle, letting out his umbrella before taking off his helmet. Why the hell was Aidou sitting in the rain? And where was his car? He strode to his mate, holding the umbrella out to shield him from the rain. Aidou looked adorable, even when he looked like someone had botched an attempt at drowning him. However, the resultant glower the small noble gave him stayed his tongue. He used his key to open the door and entered their home, followed by his mate.

Figuring it was finally safe to talk to Aidou without getting his head bitten off, he closed the door and decided to inquire of what led to his mate's current irritability. "What happened?"

Aidou growled peevishly and started stripping out of his wet clothes, disclosing the details of his heinous day.

Zero listened, keeping his eyes off the adorable ass swaying gracefully in front of him. Even though he was really turned on right now, he knew Aidou was definitely NOT in the mood.

"And some fucking halfwit towed Tiffany and I got soaked down to my underwear. And lo and freaking behold after I get home I remember that I lent you my key so you could have one made, because you lost your copy." He shoved the bathroom door open and walked to the large claw-foot bathtub, turning the knobs. He plugged the drain when he got the right temperature and poured lavender scented bath salts into the steaming water.

He turned cracking a slight smile when Zero laid his blue silk pajamas on the counter. He embraced Zero, snuggling his face into the cradle of his neck. "You're the best Zero."

Zero kissed his lover's hair, drinking in the scent of his golden tresses. "I know. Now, how about I fix us some steak and brighten up your day by letting you tie me up in handcuffs and fuck me?"

Aidou's eyes brightened. "I would really like that."

Zero chuckled, kissing his cheek. "I thought you would." He released him, kissing his forehead, before exiting the bathroom.

Aidou strode into the sitting room wearing nothing but boxer briefs. He stopped when he saw Zero sitting on the couch sleeping soundly. He jogged to the kitchen turning off the stove so the steaks wouldn't catch fire. Sighing softly at the charred morsels, he returned to the sitting room.

He sat on the end of the couch, gently tugging Zero down until his head lay in his lap. Aidou smiled softly, combing his fingers through Zero's downy silver locks.

Zero mumbled in his sleep.

Aidou's heart stuttered when Zero's eyes fluttered open and sleepy lavender orbs gazed up at him.

"What happened?" He asked drowsily.

Aidou smiled tenderly at his mate. "You fell asleep."

"Oh."

Aidou restrained him when he tried to move. "I turned the stove off so don't worry." He caressed Zero's cheek. "Go back to sleep."

Zero yawned, revealing his fangs and shifted to his side, until he faced Aidou's belly. He promptly fell asleep.

Aidou watched Zero with curious eyes. Zero NEVER let his food burn and he was always up for sex. His dearest mate must have had an extremely hard day for him to fall asleep while cooking food. He allowed his hands to tenderly trail over his mate's features, adoring the creamy texture of his skin. He smiled softly at the sleeping vampire, the aftereffects of his bad day melting away. Zero was his smile and he always made everything alright in his world.
