Kaname opened the door to the penthouse, finding it lingering in silence and darkness. His heart filled with dread. Every night on his trip he had had nightmares of this – coming home to a home that was silent and dark because Zero had left him.

The past months had been something out of a nightmare too for Kaname. Since his first hormonal treatment Zero had not wanted to have anything to do with him. Kaname had not recognized his usually warm and cuddly husband at all. Zero was silent and cold or loud and angry. He did not want Kaname to touch him, and when he moved out of their bedroom the pureblood's heart had cracked right open.

Kaname had tried to talk with him of course, but trying to talk with Zero about his emotions when he did not want to was a little bit like looking for that needle in the hay, only to find a hissing rattlesnake.

Now it was downright impossible. He did not find a rattlesnake in the hay. He found a nuclear weapon set to go off the moment he opened his mouth.

Kaname had not known how to handle the situation at all.

Zero handled most disturbing emotions his own way. He fucked. Kaname had been horrified when he found out that after his rape Zero had spent most of his time outside work fucking his way through all gay men in the city, and when he had gone through all of them, with his pick-up skills Kaname was pretty sure the hunter had fucked quite a lot of straight men too.

Years later, Zero had told him it was his way of letting off steam when things bottled up. Just like Kaname curled up in bed reading bad poetry, drowning in wine and darkness. Which perhaps was an equally destructive behaviour.

They had not made love once since before Zero's first hormonal treatment, and Kaname knew how horny the hunter was even in normal case. Now he began to wonder if Zero had not gone on another fuck-spree.

He could of course use one of his bat familiars and find out where Zero went, and he was very tempted. But Zero deserved his respect and his own privacy. Just the thought of Zero with another man had made windows shatter and walls crack around the pureblood. If Kaname found Zero with another man, he seriously did not know what he would do. Probably burn the whole city to ashes.

He had not known the treatments would affect Zero that much. He had not listened much to what Aido had said. No, he had been too occupied gazing at his handsome silver haired hunter with hazy eyes, imagining him round and soft and heavy with their child. When he now read up on all the hormones involved, he had paled and understood just how naïve he had been.

He also understood some of Zero's behaviour. Listed as very common side effects were weight gain, decreased sex drive, cravings and increased appetite, extreme angst, violent behaviour, fatigue and more on. He could not see that Zero had gained weight, but what would he know, he had not seen him without clothes in three months. The last month he had hardly seen him at all. Otherwise it fit perfectly, and Kaname was very angry with himself for rushing and probably pushing Zero into this.

Sitting down on their bed, Kaname let out a deep sigh of relief. Not only was Zero at home, but he was sleeping in their bed too. His pureblood sight saw excellent in the bluish darkness that lingered in the room, and a tender smile lingered on his lips while he looked at Zero's peaceful face.

Zero was the most handsome man Kaname had ever seen – and he had after all lived for a very long time. The silver haired hunter walked tall and proud and was a real face-turner everywhere they went. Something Zero was completely oblivious to, but made the possessive pureblood's blood boil.

Even before they had got involved and just worked together, he had often caught himself looking at the hunter. Taking in his sharp and elegant face. His silver chipped lavender eyes rimmed by those long silver lashes. His full lips that just looked so, so soft…

That Zero also had a mind that challenged Kaname's own and a heart made out of downy baby bird feathers beating in his chest, did not exactly make Kaname feel less for him. No, Kaname had fallen helplessly in love with Zero the first time the hunter had kissed him.

They had worked close for a long time then, so close they actually chaired an office. Both desperate to bring a final end to the ever-raging war between the vampire society and the human. After a mission that had gone horribly wrong, they sat down, breathless, in the couch in their office, drinking bottles of red wine. The wine was Kaname's idea. The kiss was Zero's. Suddenly he just leaned in and kissed Kaname, and his hands had cupped the pureblood's cheeks so gently. Then everything had gotten sort of blurry. They banged each other on their desks, desk chairs, on the soft carpet on the floor and up against the wall so the paintings fell down. The morning after they had woken up, naked, curled up like kittens in each other's arms on the couch to an office that was unrecognizable. To find their clothes they had to search a scattered mess of laptops, papers, tilted chairs and books. Zero's shirt had been ripped, and the zipper and button in Kaname's slacks broken. The silence between them as they put the office somewhat back in order again had been oh so awkward.

Now Kaname leaned down and kissed the silky silver hair, and then he went to the bathroom for a short shower and made himself ready for bed.

He snuck down behind Zero, and after some hesitation he carefully put an arm around him. Only to startle when he felt a rounded belly to his palm where there usually were flat and toned muscles. Stunned Kaname slowly ran his hand over the hunter's middle, feeling the soft curves, his eyes growing wider and wider as he felt just how…chubby Zero was.

And then a wide toothy grin spread on the pureblood's lips as he understood.

Zero stirred from his touch. He turned around into Kaname's arms, not really awake yet. Kaname smiled when he noticed how awkwardly he moved, and he felt the swollen belly slide under his palm. Wow, the heat had really made him pile on weight. Kaname had known that would happen, but knowing was not the same as seeing and feeling.

He softly caressed Zero's cheek, and now he noticed that even Zero's face was a little fuller. Encouraged that the hunter snuggled into him he leaned in and gave him a tentative kiss on his lips, feeling warmth wash over him when Zero slid a hand into his hair, holding him closer as he leaned into the kiss. Kaname melted like a puddle of spring snow. It was the first kiss they had shared since Zero had started the treatments.

"Hi, handsome," he murmured against Zero's lips. "I have missed you."

What an understatement.

Zero snuggled his face into Kaname's throat, placing a soft kiss there too, and then another one, making Kaname shiver. "Mm, missed you too."

Kaname gently moved his hand over Zero's swollen belly and waist. Stunned to find soft rolls at his sides. "And it looks like someone finally is in heat," he whispered and kissed his cheek.

Zero blushed and nodded sleepily. "I have gained a lot."

Kaname groaned when he saw the blush. It must be criminal to be so damn cute. He leaned in and kissed Zero's cheek softly. "And I don't care. I love you. I love you so, so much, Zero. Are…are you okay?"

"I don't want to talk about that."

Kaname almost rolled his eyes. No, of course not.

Zero moved closer and took Kaname's face in both his hands and brushed his face against his, and Kaname felt every inch of his curvy body pressed up against his. For a brief moment Zero opened his eyes and a jolt ran through Kaname when their gaze met. Zero's lavender irises were dark, his pupils completely blown under his heavy silver lashes. Then he closed his eyes again and tilted his head to the side and with a low growl he kissed the pureblood surprisingly slow and gentle.

Kaname let out a small sob and wrapped both his arms around the man he loved more than anything and kissed him back. Zero's growl deepened with the kiss and he leaned in more, holding Kaname's face closer.

No, Zero did not want to talk about stupid emotions. He had never been good at that. He did not want to talk about how much fucking weight he had gained and how he felt about it. That should be obvious anyway. He did not want to talk about how embarrassed he felt as Kaname caressed his swollen body, and how he still craved that touch more than anything for it made him burn like wildfire.

He wanted to kiss Kaname, and he wanted Kaname to fuck him deep and hard until he saw stars, and more than anything he wanted Kaname to get him pregnant. It was a strange and sudden need and sensation he had never felt before. He actually wanted to feel a child, their child, grow inside him.

And that was exactly what he said.

Zero let go of Kaname's lips, panting against them before he touched his forehead to the pureblood's and whispered, "I want to kiss you, Kaname, and I want you to fuck me deep and hard until I see stars." He opened his eyes and looked straight into Kaname's widened eyes, and the pureblood lost his breath from the burning intensity in his gaze. "And I want you to get me pregnant, because all I want is to feel our child grow inside of me."

And then Zero closed his eyes and slid his fingers into the soft brown hair of a completely struck-by-lightning-stunned pureblood and kissed him. Deeper and hungrier, swirling his tongue around Kaname's, sending currents and jolts and whole firebolts of electricity through him. Zero was an amazing kisser.

Having a round and chubby Zero coming on to him like this, kissing him like that and begging him to impregnate him because all he wanted was to feel their child grow inside him, left Kaname completely winded. His mind spun, and he knew he we would never forget those words – or the look in Zero's eyes as he had said them. Never.

"Mm, that is exactly what I intend to do," he managed, his smooth voice broken with emotion and darkened by an explosion of desire. He pushed Zero down on his back and depended their kiss more. Their teeth clashed and their lips split. "I will make love to you the whole night, Zero. And I will fill you up so completely it is impossible for you not to get pregnant."

Kaname ran his hands over Zero's new curves. He could just not believe how soft and round he was. His slender and strong body so transformed in just two weeks. He smiled as he felt how a roll almost formed on Zero's swollen belly as he moved under him, pushing his hips up against Kaname's as he pulled off his underwear and Kaname pulled off his.

"Please, Kaname!" Zero panted. "Not some soft and cheesy making love. Fuck me! Fuck me really, really hard! I have not got laid in fucking more than three months so fuck me into oblivion!"

Kaname chuckled huskily. "Fuck you until oblivion? Mm, you sure are as lewd as ever, Zero. And yes, I will fuck you until oblivion. And I will fuck you until you see stars. I will fuck you until you see a whole fucking starlit sky. And I will sure make you pregnant. And then I will make soft cheesy love to you the whole night, because I love you and you mean the world to me, Zero."

Kaname kissed his way down Zero's sensitive neck and down his chest and his nipples which he knew was one of Zero's most sensitive spots. Zero gasped and arched into him, his head tossed back into the pillows. "Ah! Yes, Kaname! Oh, fuck! More! Ah, fucking hell!"

Kaname smirked and continued kissing him downward and somewhere there, as Kaname's skilled fingers and lips found all his sweet spots at the same time, Zero began to see his first stars that night.

Kaname pushed inside him, and he fucked Zero so hard he almost broke him, just like Zero begged him to do and watched him come completely undone. Zero clenched the sheets and slammed a palm into the bed's headboard and screamed and growled in pleasure. And he saw stars. Again and again and again.

They drowned in each other that night and forgot that there was world outside the colour of their eyes.
