The morning after Zero woke up wrapped in Kaname's arms. He turned around and lay for a while studying the sleeping pureblood's handsome face with a soft smile to his lips. He blushed when he remembered how Kaname had grabbed those disgusting rolls that formed at his waist now every time he moved, and squeezed his softened chest. No, Kaname had not minded his weight gain at all. He had been wild.

Well, so had Zero. Fuck hell, had he really begged Kaname to impregnate him? He groaned and felt his face turn crimson. Okay, besides that last night had been nothing but amazing.

He gave Kaname a soft kiss on his lips and whispered, "I love you. Fuck, how I love you, you crazy pureblood."

He pulled the blankets over Kaname to shield his body from the morning sun that no matter what sneaked its way into the room, and then he went out to the kitchen. He put on a pot of coffee before he took a short shower.

Back in the kitchen he picked a box of donuts from the fridge, knowing very well that shovelling down a box of donuts for breakfast would do nothing to help with the problem of his growing waistline. Kaien called on his work phone, and one second later Kaito called on his private phone. Zero took a deep breath and answered Kaien's call first.

Kaname found Zero sitting at the kitchen table, silver hair still damp from a shower, eating donuts while he talked on both his phones, checked his email and read a book. That his mind did not melt was a wonder. Kaname leaned on the door post, watching him with a tender expression to his face.

Zero was dressed in plaid pyjama pants and a black tee that showed off his strong and slender arms but started to get too tight around his soft waist. Kaname swallowed. Zero was as handsome as ever. Perhaps even more now when he was so chubby.

"Can you hold a moment, Kaien?" Zero picked up the other phone. "Kaito, are you still with me? Yes, I am with Kaien on the other phone…Mm…Yes…Well, that is his decision and not mine…Kaito, listen to me! I am not the president at the moment and I cannot make decisions over Kaien's head and you-"

Zero fell silent and stared at the phone for a short moment, frowning. "Well, good morning to you too, dumbass," he growled and put the phone down. "Fuck, I already have two kids, why on earth am I getting a third one for?" he muttered, making Kaname's smile widen.

Zero took a big bite from a donut and turned the page in his book. Still reading he opened a new mail and picked up his work phone again. "Kaien? Well, so go on, tell me."

Listening to his obviously upset adopted father, he wrote a short reply to the mail he had just read and sent it, before he answered. "No, I am not tuning out, I am still listening…Well, Kaito is Kaito, he will come around, and I trust your decision…Good…Yes…"

He turned a page in his book, and picking up his cup of coffee he dropped the donut he was holding in the same hand just as he was about to take a bite from it. He cursed quite badly. "No, no, that was not for you. I just dropped a donut on the floor."

He took a deep sigh and rolled his eyes. "Yes, I am eating donuts for breakfast…Yes, I know that…For fuck's sake, Kaien, I am in heat and every donut seriously taste like a piece of heaven right now! Carrots? Are you serious?…Mm…Well, I am kind of fat already so I don't think that matter."

While Zero continued listening to Kaien's advice on diet his cheeks flushed and a deep growl started to work its way up his throat. Kaname could practically see how the air darkened around him, and then thunder rolled. "Yes, of course I understand I will get fucking fatter from eating a fucking donut than a fucking carrot!" Zero chucked the phone right across the room. "Fucking idiot!"

Kaname caught the phone in one hand and bit his tongue not to chuckle. He walked over and gave Zero a kiss, smiling when he felt how eagerly the hunter answered to it. Bad mood completely forgotten. Kaname put both his arms around him and sat down on the chair beside him, pulling him close. Zero turned a little in his arms and for a while they just sat there kissing like two teenagers in love. Their gaze met, and that warmth that had always crackled between them but had been gone the past three months was there again.

Zero put a hand to Kaname's cheek and caressed it softly. He smiled, showing off one of his dimples. "Thank you for tonight, Kaname. It was amazing."

Kaname smiled back, brushing his face against Zero's. "Yes, it really was."

Zero licked some donut frosting off his fingers. Fingers that had sent Kaname to the moon and back just hours earlier, and Kaname almost threw him down on the table behind them right there and then for another round. The only thing that held him back was that he did not know if Zero was in pain from their earlier session. Kaname had done his very best to both fuck him into oblivion and impregnate him, just as Zero had begged for, and he would be surprised if the hunter did not feel sore.

"Busy morning?"

"You know Kaito and Kaien. There is coffee if you want it."

Kaname filled a cup and sat down on the chair beside Zero again. He picked a donut, mostly because he did not want Zero to feel uncomfortable eating by himself, but he had to give it, it was pretty good. Soft with a sticky raspberry frosting and filled with vanilla cream.

"Mm, like a small piece of heaven," he could not help but tease and got rewarded by a deep red blush on Zero's face.

"You heard that, huh?"

"Mm, I did." Gently he put an arm around Zero's waist and smiled when he felt how bloated his belly was under a soft layer of padding. He put both his arms around him and pulled him close again. "I love you, Zero."

"Mm, I love you too."

For some reason, seeing Zero eat so uninhibited and get so incredibly swollen from it was a real turn on. Kaname groaned inwardly, and could not keep his hands away from Zero's tantalising new curves. Zero blushed, but he did not say anything.

"I am sorry, Zero, but I cannot get enough of those curves," Kaname whispered in his ear. "I love you, and you look amazing."

"Kaname, I look like a fucking whale!"

Kaname kissed his cheek. "No, you do not," he said softly. "And Zero, it is only temporary."

Zero sighed and closed his eyes, frowning. "Yeah. I know."

Kaname felt compassion surge through him. Gaining this much weight in just a couple of weeks must feel strange, temporary or not, and it was clear that Zero was not comfortable about it. Sometimes he hated his impulsive and possessive pureblood nature. I always need to have it all, don't I?

"I am sorry, Zero," he whispered.

Zero's eyes shot open. "What?"

Kaname tightened his arms around him. "I am sorry, Zero. I am so sorry for forcing you into this." And then all of his worries followed in a tumbling waterfall of words.

Zero's eyes widened. He had mostly forgotten about the past months. Yes, perhaps he had been in a rather bad mood, but since he was actually sitting here, eating himself completely out of proportion for the pureblood's sake, which must surely be a proof of his love, he was not going to apologize. He shook his head in wonder over Kaname's anxiety.

"You are one neurotic pureblood, you know that? You thought I was leaving you? Seriously? I love you Kaname, and I always will. For fuck's sake, after all we have been through? No, I will never leave you."

Kaname took a shaky breath, and then he started to cry. He might be a regal pureblood, but he just turned to mush around Zero, and hearing those words he was flooded with relief.

Zero kissed Kaname's tears away, and then he kissed him softly on his lips. "You idiot, you did not force me into this. I did not do it because you asked. I did it because I love you, and I want to give you a child. It is quite a big difference." He sighed. "No, I am not happy about this, and yes, I really wish you wanted a dog instead, but I knew what I got myself into. Well, sort of."

He shook his head and chuckled and turned to straddle Kaname's lap. He scoffed at his awkward movement with his full belly, and Kaname could not help but smile tenderly. So, so cute.

"Not one fucking word!" Zero growled.

Kaname wrapped his arms around his round waist and held him very close. "I love you Zero Kiryu Kuran. I love you so, so much."

Zero gave him another soft kiss. "Mm, I love you too, Kaname Kuran Kiryu."

He lazily put both his arms around Kaname's neck and closed his eyes while he nibbled on the pureblood's lower lip. Warmth washed over Kaname in waves, and then Zero leaned in and deepened the kiss, giving him one of those killer kisses that always turned him completely helpless.

"Are you in any pain?" Kaname panted. "From tonight?"

Zero shook his head and smiled slowly. "No," he whispered. "Not very much at least. Fuck, I have missed you, Kaname." He leaned in and started to tease Kaname's ear, sending deep shivers through the pureblood. "I have missed us. Make love to me. I love you, and I just need to feel you inside me."

Lightning leaped through Kaname, and he shot up from the chair with a chuckling and curvy hunter caressing his neck with kisses and wrapped around him like a monkey. Kaname held Zero's waist with one arm and cleared the table with his other. He was happy he had his pureblood strength, because Zero was a lot heavier now. Kaname wondered how much he had gained, but he did not dare ask. A lot, as Zero had said the other night, seemed like a good enough answer.

Zero leaned back on the smooth wood, his long legs still wrapped around Kaname's waist and the pureblood's eyes glazed when he saw Zero's belly all bloated and distended. Gone was that slim and toned waist like it had never been. That Zero was doing this for him made his mind dizzy with love. He put his forehead to Zero's and their eyes met. Warm lavender and soft wine.

Kaname was very careful, because he noticed that whatever Zero said he was sore. They made soft and tender love, their gaze never leaving each other. Zero arched into him more and more with each slow stroke, and Kaname grabbed his soft waist, suddenly wishing Zero would stay this round and curvy, even after his heat was over.

Ah, such a wishful thinking.
