Even when you've hurt me the way you have

Even though you know I can treat you bad

But we're drawn once again like a moth to a flame

Yeah, it's like that

I guess we get a little bit crazy

I guess we get a little bit cruel

But this is how crazy you make me

Bad enough to think about losing you

"I expect you to trust me enough to know I would never cheat on you or break your trust." Zero's words echoed in Kaname's head, attempting to rationalize his mind before his instincts took control. However, it was for naught as he felt the red mist of jealousy descend.

The light smell of Zero's blood in the room mixing with Aidou's didn't help the situation as Kaname remembered his own words "I also won't tolerate the scent of any other vampire around you" and then, "If you come home smelling of another male I swear I will not hesitate to attack you and make you remember you belong to only me."

He couldn't help but radiate anger, he had rushed out of his room, startled by Zero's heart rate acceleration and then even more worried when he smelt his blood in the air. He had met resistance with Yuuki who had absolutely forbidden him to leave until they finished their conversation. Kaname easily found the solution to the situation she put him in by waving his hand around her head and knocking her unconscious once more.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" The pureblood asked, he felt a wave of anger wash over him as they pair broke apart in shock, as though they were caught doing something scandalous. He took slow, measured steps towards them.

In his anger, he stopped his control of his pureblood aura, letting it surround him, and in turn, the other occupants in the room. Aidou quickly buckled under the weight of the aura, not being able to defend against it. He could feel it overwhelming him, attempting to pressurize him, or suffocate him. The blond turned to his silver haired new found friend and couldn't help but wish he was in his place as Zero didn't appear to be affected at all.

If Zero could hear Aidou's claim he would surely beat the aristocrat out of the blond as he too struggled to not buckle under Kaname's aura. Unfortunately, Zero also struggled to not let his arousal grow apparent for it seems Kaname's scent was like an aphrodisiac to him!

Kaname, unaware of the pairs struggles, continued to approach them, anger fueled. Without hesitation, he pulled back his fit and let it propel forward. Aidou clenched his eyes tightly, bracing himself for the punch.

Kaname was satisfied to hear a sickening crack as his fist connected roughly with Zero's cheek.

Zero was no match for Kaname's force, and was sent flying to the far corner of the wall. Well, at least he would have been, had he not hit Kaname's cherry red mahogany desk. He landed there harshly, cracking the thick wood.

To Aidou's surprise, Kaname didn't touch him, instead he marched over to Zero, picked up his limp but conscious body, and proceeded to toss him across the room, making him crash into the bookshelf, knocking tens of books and scrolls to the floor, and making the wall shake in the process.

Zero weakly tried to pick himself up, but Kaname was on him in less than a second. He easily picked up Zero by his left wrist, and before Zero could say anything, he felt his wrist break under the forceful grip of Kaname's hand. Now under normal circumstances, a few tosses into furniture and a broken wrist would not faze Zero, but only barely recovering from cancer-caused- anorexia, Zero was extremely weak,not to mention he was also further weakened by the purebloods aura filling the room. Zero hated to admit but he also knew that because of the pureblood's aura, he was extremely aroused too. He let out a small cry of pain, but it went ignored as Kaname's eyes continued to blaze red as the pure blood dragged him to the nearest wall, pinning him by his broken wrist.

Zero weakly raised his right leg and tried to kick the pureblood away, that proved to be a dangerous mistake as Kaname grabbed the younger's leg and raised it level to his waist. Zero attempted to kick his leg free but cried out loudly when Kaname grabbed his leg even tighter and raised it higher, shoulder height now, and then even higher, until his foot was raised above his head.

Zero was loudly screaming now, in immense pain as his little flexibility was tested and destroyed. Kaname's still blazed in anger and he leaned into Zero, putting pressure on the now completely vertical limb, making the other cry out even louder.

Aidou felt his eyes widen considerably as he witnessed how Kaname treated Zero. Although it pained him immensely to see Zero in pain, he knew he could not intervene without his life ending. Kaname was beyond pissed if he could not comprehend the unbearable pain he was causing his mate.

Aidou finally stopped fighting the others aura, and let himself collapse, his body no longer able to cope under the pressure, feeling intense regret and sympathy for the silver haired hunter before passing out from exertion a few seconds later.

Zero felt his hope leave him as he briefly glanced over Kaname's shoulder and noticed Aidou collapse and fall unconscious. Kaname noticed his eye twitch and turned his his head slightly, Zero felt the hand release his leg, his vertical leg dropped swiftly, completely dead weight. The relief of Kaname's removed hand was short lived as he then moved the hand to Zero's neck. Kaname proceeded to tighten his grip on his partners neck.

"I warned you Zero. I don't share. I don't like seeing you with others. Why do you test me like this? Why do you tease me? Don't you know how jealous it makes me? I warned you. I don't want to lose you, I won't lose you." Kaname mumbled, unconsciously tightening his grip on Zero's neck as he spoke.

"Kaname! What the hell do you think you're doing!" Kaname's head snapped to the source of the noise and he was surprised to lock eyes with his furious cousin, his eyes also blazing, behind him was his vice president Takuma and surprisingly Yuuki.

Before he could react, Kaname was pushed away harshly, only barely able to catch himself before he fell to the floor. Just as he was about to attack his aggressor, he felt all of his anger leave him and his sanity return as he witnessed Zero collapse onto the floor, a painful cry escaping his lips as he landed harshly on his busted leg.

Kaname felt Senri and Yuuki grab his arms harshly, trying to restrain him. Kaname however, didn't put up any resistance. His heart felt shattered and hollow as his eyes rested on his lover. Zero openly clung to Takuma but Kaname could feel no anger rise up as his eyes were solely focused on the steady stream of tears rolling down Zero's cheeks, the only thing he could hear was the unsteady sobs emitting from Zero's throat, only broken by his shallow attempts at breathing, and the only thing he felt, was regret.

And anger, and sadness.

For he caused that. He caused the tears rolling down his cheeks, he caused the pained look etched on his face.

He felt his undead heart break even further as he now laid eyes upon Zero's aroused bulge. Had there been any deception in Zero's love interest towards him, Zero would not have been affected by his aura in such a way.

"Zero…" Kaname's voice came out soft, extremely soft, barely audible to even his own ears.

Kaname was surprised to see the hunter raise his head and lock eyes with him, his eyes red and filled with tears. "Don't." was the only thing that escaped passed Zero's lips before he broke into a coughing fit. He leaned into Takuma, burying his mouth into the blond's shoulder in an attempt to stifle his coughs.

Kaname once again felt his heart hurt for Zero lifted his head, but the evidence of his episode was apparent for he left large specks of blood on the white shirt.

As he witnessed his lover in pain, forgetting he was the cause for most of it, Kaname quickly felt his strength return to him and easily pushed of his relatives before quickly taking a few steps forward and then crouching down attempting to engulf his mate into his arms.

Zero noticed his presence but with the little strength he had left, moved away from him and weakly clutched Takuma's shirt. "Don't touch me. Stay away from me. Leave me alone… I… I need to think." Zero mumbled. Zero let himself be helped up by Takuma and then draped his arm on the back of Takuma's neck as they were no doubt going to make their way to the infirmary.

For the first time in a long time, Kaname felt fear. True, unadulterated fear. Using his quick reflexes, he grabbed at Zero's leg, making sure it was the uninjured one. "You'll come back to me, right? You won't leave me, right?". Kaname was aware of the fear and desperation apparent in his voice but he didn't care a jot.

To his immense dread, Zero didn't respond, merely pulled away.

Senri noticed his cousins expression and despite his recent actions, couldn't help but feel pity for him. He quickly caught up to the struggling pair and offered his services, hooking Zero's other arm around his neck to help carry him away.

Yuuki was at loss, both her best friend and brother were suffering and she didn't know who to go to. She knew that despite whoever she went to, she wouldn't be able to help, for the help either one needed to make themselves better was the other.

Unable to stand by the aggressor, Yuuki was about to follow the trio out, until she noticed the bright coloured individual unconscious near the center of the room. She quickly ran over to him and checked his vitals. "Oh, Aidou." She let out softly in relief as she realized he was only unconscious. With immense ease and strength she knew she didn't have an hour ago, Yuuki lifted the boy onto her back and made her way out of the room, leaving the pureblood prince to wallow in solitude.

Zero turned his back to the two lovers who helped him to the infirmary, unable to contain his feelings of jealousy at their relationship. They were undoubtedly in love, Zero could easily see that by the way they looked at each other. If he was able to, he would have left like Yuuki, unable to take in their sugary-sweet affectionate nature.

Despite the almost grotesquely sweet showering of affection the couple demonstrated towards each other, Zero couldn't help but want to cry even more in jealousy and frustration. Why is it that he always got hurt in relationships? Was he cursed to never be happy? To live a painful life?

His eye found the sleeping blond on the infirmary bed next to him, sleeping peacefully despite the slightly agitated look on his face.

They were currently in the Day dorms, the place known as an infirmary inexistent in the Moon dorms.

As soon as the couple left the room, unable to figure out how to help the heavily injured boy while their resident "doctor" was indisposed, Zero began to speak to the unconscious Aidou, his voice soft as Yuuki had forced some gross cherry flavoured sore throat medicine down his throat.

"I love him… I know I do… And I know it's not just a recent thing. I've loved him for a while… I know people express their love in different ways… but I refuse to believe that that is his form of showing affection. I don't know what to do…" Zero let out a soft groan as another wave of pain flooded his body.

"Well first you should ask yourself if you want to stay with him." Aidou's hoarse voice made Zero jump.

"Aidou… Are you okay?" Zero asked worriedly.

The blond merely waved him off before slowly picking himself up and descending from the bed. "Compared to you, I feel like a million bucks. Now, I'm not going to ask you to explain what happened… I won't make you relive that. Instead, tell me everywhere it hurts, even if a little bit. Give me your wrist." Aidou demanded, seeing the obviously gentle way Zero was cradling it.

"It's going to heal incredibly slowly, slower than the rate of a human. At least until Kaname's blood and the synth start fighting your cancer cells and the process speeds up. For now all I can do is straighten it and put cast on it." Aidou spoke slowly as he analyzed the injury, grateful that the break was clean for he didn't want to have to perform surgery on the incredibly weak male. He tenderly handled Zero's wrist, using his ice wielding ability to numb the appendage, then quickly cleaned the injury before grabbing bandages and wrapping it tightly but gently. Soon after, he grabbed the plaster layer, wet it, and wrapped it around the bandage layer.

"Don't move until it dries, in the meantime I'll check your leg." Aidou didn't have to be experienced in the medical profession to know Zero's leg was going to take a healing time, his leg was heavily inflamed, most notably near his upper and inner thigh.

"Zero you sure got lucky I'm the one with ice manipulating abilities and medical knowledge." Aidou commented as he let his hand rest on Zero's leg and let a small layer of ice cover the area. Zero let out a sigh of relief and felt a large amount of pain go away.

"This might be a little uncomfortable but please spread your legs so I can better assess the injury." Despite Aidou's attempt to remain stoic and nonchalant, his red face betrayed his efforts.

Zero too was red faced as he exposed himself to the blond, not even Kaname has seen him so intimately. To his utter embarrassment, Aidou's face was firmly planted in between his thighs, unbothered by the close proximity of Zero's sexual appendage, completely immersed in his task now.

"Hm… this is difficult. If it was a lesser tear I would just suggest icing it a few times a day, but because it's so severe… I'm at loss at what to do… Usually a vampire's natural healing would deal with this so I've never seen this before." Aidou spoke up, as he gently stroked the ice-encased injury.

Zero couldn't help but hiss in pain. "Well what's wrong?" He asked through clenched teeth.

Aidou parted Zero's legs and looked at in large injury analytically, "well you've definitely torn your hamstring… and you've severely pulled your groin." Aidou spoke from in between Zero's legs.

It was honestly the most awkward and embarrassing doctoral experience Zero had ever experienced.

"How long will it t-" Zero was cut off as his breath hitched and he shook with pleasure as Aidou's head lightly grazed his once-limp member.

Aidou jumped back, clearly apologetic yet immensely surprised, "I'm so sorry."

Zero pulled his borrowed shirt down and threw a nearby blanket on himself, blushing intensely. "No harm done." He mumbled.

Aidou coughed, "Yes well, I'm going to keep your leg encased in ice for a few days and then we're going to try to get you walking again."

Zero let out a small smile, "So I'll be up and-" His words stopped in his throat as he felt the extremely powerful, lustful aura fill the air again.

Minutes Earlier

Even from an entire field away, Kaname could feel the pain his lover (former lover? He sure hoped not) was feeling. He could also feel jealousy and frustration coming off of him and had no idea why, soon enough it was replaced with sadness.

Kaname felt frustration as his only contact with Zero was his empathy link with him, for Zero had told him to stay away, and he had to listen.

He had to. Zero had warned him, and he didn't want to make him anymore upset. Kaname's only consolation was the fact that although he wasn't able to physically be with Zero, he still knew where he was and what he was feeling.

That was also the major reason of his frustration for he had know idea what was causing Zero to feel so many emotions.

Kaname was startled as Zero's emotions jumped, he was obviously startled, it was then quickly replaced with relief only to morph into pain about minute later.

Kaname paced the floor of his destroyed office, not bothering to clean it up nor the wound on his face. It was obvious the fresh wound needed care but Kaname was too preoccupied to worry about his own health and safety.

He clenched his fists as a large wave of relief flooded his lover's senses and Kaname couldn't help but worry as to what it was, the lingering irritation appearing in all of Zero's emotional switches was gone and Kaname wondered if Zero had fallen asleep.

His heart stopped as he felt both embarrassment and pain projected from Zero, an emotion only felt when Zero had fed from him when he was near nude and again in the shower when Kaname hit the back of Zero's throat too roughly and he gagged. Kaname's undead heart began to beat rapidly, dwelling on what Zero was now physically experiencing.

'He's won't cheat on me. Trust him. Trust him. I have to trust him and stay away. Stay away.' The mantra echoed in his head as he no longer paced but instead clutched his broken mahogany desk tightly, his knuckles so white they appeared to be breaking out of the skin. He clenched his eyes closed, desperately trying to maintain their brown color, lest he lose control and go on another rampage.

There was a brief flash of pain and embarrassment, and Kaname was about to relax again when he felt his control shoot out of him. His sanity lost him as the only thing he could concentrate on was the intense flash of arousal Zero emitted.

Kaname slowly let go of the desk and opened his eyes, once more revealing the dark blood red colour.

Once again his aura broke away from him, this time more powerful than the last, it hit the walls at full force, dropping the book-filled bookshelves down and shattering the windows.

Kaname quickly broke into a run, and jumped out through the window, not breaking stride as he fell four stories. His mind and body had only one destination– Zero.

He had an objective: Make Zero his. He had warned Zero, he had promised him. His own words rang through his head as his legs sped him to the Day Dorms, more specifically, Zero's location.

"It's my name you'll scream, it's my body that will pleasure yours, it's me that will be the only one to see you in the most intimate way."
