Chapter 50 Tired
When Zero gets home, it's now going on 8:30 pm. He walks into a quiet house. With a light on in the living room for him. He knows Yuki must of put the babies to bed. He goes into the kitchen, where there is a note for him on the microwave.
"I hope you had a great time. I left dinner in the microwave for you."
He sees she does always think about him, wanting to take care of him no matter what. That does make him smile. He warms his food and sits at the kitchen island to eat his dinner. The house is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Zero loved it. It was so nice and calm. The first breath of air he got all day.
After finishing his dinner, he washes his plate. Then he makes sure all the doors are locked, before heading upstairs. Checking in on the two little babies sleeping. He looks over at them both in the same crib. Giving them each a kiss goodnight. So happy that they are his. It was something, he would never regret. Also something he never thought he would have.
He closes the door behind him leaving it open just a tad. Then walks over to his own bedroom. A small light on waiting for him as Yuki is out cold sleeping in bed. He knows she is tried. He just wished she was up so he could tell her. He could talk to her. He missed the old days in a way a lot. Just wanting their closeness back.
He takes off his work clothes, getting his PJs and clean underwear heading to the bathroom to take his shower. While he is in there Yuki smells his soap, coming from the bathroom and knows he is home.
When Zero is done he gets dressed and heads to bed, not even putting the tv on. Just feeling he should get some rest. He scoots in next to Yuki, placing the covers over him and tucking her in more. He lays his body down, lying on his back closing his eyes. Yuki knowing he is in bed, she moves closer and puts her arms around him. Laying her head on his chest.
"Congratulations on your promotion," Yuki says in a low voice. "Thank you. It seems they like me, and wanted to take me out." Zero states. "Of course they like you. Why wouldn't they? You are awesome." Yuki giggles. "Really you still think so?" Zero asks. " I will always think so silly. You're my Zero." Yuki replies Hugging him tighter. "Sometimes I don't think, I am anymore. We are not close like we use to be. Not even in talking to each other." Zero replies. "I am sorry you feel that way. I am just really tired with the babies. I wanted so much to wait up for you, but it didn't work. But your scent woke me up." Yuki responds. "I understand. I want to take you out on Saturday just me and you. To celebrate. To be together alone just us. "Zero says. "I think that will be nice, but who is going to take care of the babies?" Yuki answers.
"Kaito. He offered." Zero comments. "Um, Zero do you think he will be ok with two babies? I mean they can be a handful." Yuki responds. "Yea, he will be fine. He is a great hunter, he should do well." Zero remarks. "That doesn't really have much to do with taking care of kids," Yuki replies. "He will be fine. He has really been a great friend." Zero states. "Yes, he has. I am sorry. I wasn't able to go with you tonight. I would have loved to be there right next to you." Yuki comments. "I know. Don't worry. I was a little worried to leave you. I thought you would of minded." Zero replies.
"They wanted to celebrate with you. You worked so hard. How can I mind? Just because I couldn't be there, didn't mean I didn't want you to have a good time. You have worked for this for such a long time. I didn't want you to lose it, because of being with me. I knew you would come home. I hope you at least got a drink." Yuki says. "Yea, I had a couple of em. I found out they think that Kaito and I are a thing." Zero states. "Oh, Should I be worried?" Yuki giggles. "Really? On Saturday when I am awake, I will show you, you have nothing to be worried about." Zero smirks. "I will hold you to that," Yuki says with a yawn.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. He told me that, I will have to go away once a month. I have to go to the other Associations." Zero remarks. "For how long?" Yuki replies raising her head off his chest. "About a day or two." Zero comments. "It won't be longer than that will it?" Yuki asks. "No." Zero answers.
Yuki just lays there, when she heard that a panic went through her. Remembering the trips that Kaname took so often. Making their marriage struggle. Never really seeing each other. She didn't want this for them. IT was already changing with the babies, she didn't want it to happen more. She didn't want to lose him. She also didn't want to say anything. She knew he worked hard for this, she wanted him to have it.
