The door was opened by Aidou, who looked tired. He hadn't slept or eaten anything in days. When he saw her, for a second everything froze. He didn't know what to do. The last time they talked, she seemed to hate him. And now she was outside his door. What was she doing there?

What she did next really surprised him. Upon seeing him, she hugged him tightly. He was left speechless, and he just hugged her back. Only he knew how much he needed it. Her aroma reached his nose. He had really missed the way she smelled, her beautiful face, her warmth, the sound of her amazing voice, but most of all, her huge, smart, stunningly ravishing eyes.

"I am so sorry for you lost, Aidou-senpai." she said as she pulled back from the hug. He looked at her with sad eyes.

"What are you doing here, Wakaba?" he asked.

"Well, I came to the Moon Dorms to talk to Yuki, but she wasn't here and then Ichijo-senpai sent me here so that I would avoid Sara-sama, who started talking to me." she said and he looked worried. He pulled her inside his room and closed the door behind him.

"The students are starting to wake up. Our lesson starts in an hour, until then you are going to have to stay here so that they won't try anything." he said while sitting on his bed. She sat next to him.

"Are you okay, Aidou-senpai?" she asked.

"I'm fine." he said harshly, avoiding her look. Somehow, she was able to read him like an open book.

"It's okay if you are not. You shouldn't push yourself. If you feel like crying, you should." she said and held his hand. He looked at her with tearful eyes. She placed her hand in his cheek.

"Does it ever go away? The pain?" he asked as he laid his head on her lap. She gently stoked his hair and he closed his eyes. "I am so tired..." he whispered.

"I know. You should sleep, I'll explain to Yuki why you missed you classes and she will understand, I am sure." she said softly and he smiled and laid on his bed. When she attempted to get up and leave, he pulled her and made her lay next to him. She tried getting up, but he was holding her in his arms tightly.

"No matter what happens next, I need you to know that I... I love you." he whispered gently in her ear. She was taken aback by his words. Then another flashback hit her. A passionate, amazing kiss she had shared with Aidou.

"You kissed me!" she said and he looked at her surprised.

"You shouldn't be remembering this. Well, I suppose it doesn't matter now, I have no intension of erasing your memories. I won't make the same mistake twice."

"Why was it a mistake?"

"Because seeing the way you looked at me back at the mansion, the last time we talked nearly killed me, and I don't have the energy to go through that again. Not now. But if you wish for me to erase them again, I will..." he said and she cut him off with a kiss.

"You talk way too much. I guess it's because you enjoy the sound of your voice so much more than the rest of us do!" she said and he smiled and cuddled her. They fell asleep like that all night long.

The next morning Yori got up, quietly because she didn't want to wake him up. She failed.

"Are you trying to sneak out? I feel so used!" he joked as she looked at him.

He got up and kissed her. Every one of her kisses were special, amazing, addicting. They made his temperature rise as their two lips met, creating something incredible. He could spend the rest of eternity kissing her. When she finally pulled back for air, he felt like she was killing him.

"Go back to sleep Aidou-senpai, it's still early for you but I have to go to school."

"Please Yori, don't do that..." he said and frowned.

"What?"

"Don't call me Aidou-senpai."

"And how should I call you?"

"Hanabusa?" he asked hesitatingly.

"We'll see." she said and smiled at him. He seemed better, but he was still pale. "Have you been taking your blood tablets?" she asked worried.

"To be honest, not for a few days now." he said and she looked at him with her sad eyes. She looked around for a while, and finally she spotted a knife. She grabbed it and cut her hand, causing it to bleed. "What are you doing?" he asked shocked.

"You need to feed." she said and tried to forced him to drink it. He wanted to taste it so badly, and the smell was suffocating him. He wanted to pin her down and drink all of it, more than anything in the world. No, actually, he loved her more than anything in the world, that was why he couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake and end up hurting her. He didn't want anything to ever happen to her, ever. He grabbed a bandage and placed it over her cut.

"I won't drink your blood," he said and held her other hand. "I am not sure I won't just eat you all!" he said and winked at her.

"So you don't want my blood?" she asked a bit confused.

"Oh, you have no idea. I want it more than anything I have ever craved for in my life. More than any other person's blood, and I can't really understand why that is." he said and looked at her straight in her eyes, with a serious expression. Any normal person would be scared, but not Yori. For some reason, after she learned that the Night Class were vampires, she feared them significantly less than before. And she didn't really find the blond boy in front of her scary at all.

"But, even though I am offering it to you, you refuse to drink it." she said

"That's true." he said and looked to the ground, a bit embarrassed.

"May I ask why?" she asked.

"Because, for some reason, I can't stand the idea of anyone hurting you, especially me. I could never really bring myself to hurt you." he said and blushed a bit, while Yori smiled.

"That's really sweet." she said and he looked at her in the eyes.

"You really think so?" he asked.

"Yeah." she said and he smirked.

"Wow, almost lost my cool there for a second." he said and she laughed.

"You can't lose what you never had." she teased him.

"Oh, I'll show you how cool I am!" he said and picked her up over his shoulder. She was really light, so it was easy.

"Put me down." she yelled while laughing.

"First, you have to admit I am the coolest person you know!" he said a bit childishly.

"You're not even on the top 10. Zero-Kun is the coolest person I know." she said.

"WHAT?" he yelled, acting furious even though he was laughing, and she laughed so hard.

Suddenly the door opened and Takuma came in. He looked at the two with a shocked and amused face, while Yori stared at him terrified and Aidou annoyed.

"Well, well, what do we have here? That breaks pretty much every single one of the rules of the academy." he said with an evil grin on his face as Hanabusa softly let Yori back on her feet.

"I am so sorry, Ichijo-senpai!" she said and blushed. Takuma couldn't help himself but to smile at how red her cheeks were. Aidou wasn't laughing though.

"What do you want Ichijo?" he asked aggressively.

"Did you guys..." he started saying but Aidou stopped him while Yori was getting more and more embarrassed.

"No, you pervert!" Hanabusa said and looked at him with his most scary face that killed the smile from Takuma's face and replaced it with terror. "Now get out or I will kill you!"

"I only came here because Yuki is looking for Wakaba-Kun, and I remembered not seeing her leave last night." he said and then leaned to Yori and whispered in her ear. "Seriously, I am like ten times better than him. You still have time to change your mind." he said and Aidou used his ability to create a wall of ice between them.

"Disappear!" Aidou yelled, and Takuma seemed scared.

"I will be waiting for you outside, Wakaba-Kun." he said and Yori turned to look at Aidou.

"I should go..." she said and turned to leave, but he stopped her by holding her hand.

"When will we meet again?"

"We'll see. For now, you will have to go on with that." she said and kissed him in the cheek. Then she left, leaving him staring at the door.

"Oh, we are meeting today." he said with a smirk.

When she left Aidou's room, she found Takuma waiting for her with a devilish smile on his face. She had never felt so embarrassed in her entire life, and Takuma's look didn't make things any better. It was as if he was enjoying the whole situation.

"Ichijo-senpai, I would appreciate if you didn't tell anyone about this." she said avoiding his eyes.

"Of course. I guess it's my fault for pushing you away from me and straight into his arms..." he joked and winked at her. Then his face turned serious. "Please don't toy with him. He has been through quite a lot lately." he said and she looked at him a bit surprised. She? Sayori Wakaba, to toy with the school's playboy idol? Yeah, right, like that was going to happen.

"I am not going to toy with him. But you are a really good friend, worrying for Aidou-senpai." she said and smiled at him politely. He smiled back, though it was a fake smile, and even though she didn't say anything, she could tell.

''I am not half the friend I owed to be...'' he thought as he led her to Yuki.
