I have noticed my own mistakes in the previous chapter, but I will leave those mistakes untouched and original. I apologize if I make some misspellings and grammar problems in this chapter. I told you before that I might only be able to type and post a chapter once a month, but that is only if I am not that inspired. Now is an exception, since I'm blossoming with flowers of inspiration. Please enjoy this 2nd chapter.
The first rays of light found their way to Kaname's closed eyes, notifying him that it's already morning. He slowly lifted his still heavy eyelids and took in the soft color of the ceiling. 'That's right….I was taken in for the night…..' Kaname remembered, but when did he get snuggled up in Zero's futon? 'If I were sleeping on Zero's futon, then where did he sleep?' Kaname thought. He was worried that Zero didn't have anywhere else to sleep. Yet his question was answered when he turned his head. There, Zero was still asleep, laying on another futon, this had Kaname relieved. Kaname sat up and he rubbed his groggy eyes. Making himself fully awake now, he faced Zero. His eyes were gazing at Zero's sleeping form. They first trailed to the silver-hair that was messed up during sleep, Kaname smiled at this. Then he went to Zero's closed eyes, his eyelashes were long enough to make Kaname stare in awe. 'If he were to have long hair, he would look like a girl.' Kaname thought as he chuckled lightly, his eyes were closed as he thought of the idea. 'Meeting Zero as a girl…..I would maybe make Zero my leading lady.' Kaname giggled at the thought too. When he opened his eyes to continue staring at the silver-haired male, Kaname was startled to see that Zero was staring at him innocently.
"K-kuran-san…..what are you doing up so early?" Zero whispered. Kaname suddenly stood up and stretched as if nothing happened.
"O-oh…I just wake up by instinct, so it's a normal kind of thing for me." It was true, and it made the best excuse during this situation for Kaname.
Zero lifted himself off the futon and into a sitting position. "O-oh yeah….!" Zero said as realization struck him. "Kuran-san!" Zero called Kaname. Kaname was startled yet again.
"Y-yes, Zero?" Kaname stuttered in his words, but what Zero had to say made his hear flutter endlessly.
"Good morning!" Zero smiled genuinely and this time, a blooming atmosphere can be felt between the two. Kaname was starting to feel heat rise up to his cheeks and he turned his head to hide it as he too, replied with a good morning. Silence then filled the room, when Zero stood up from his futon. Kaname felt something vibrate in his pocket. It was his cellphone which he had long forgotten put there. Kaname got it from his pocket and saw who it was, it was his manager yet best friend, Takuma Ichijou. "Go ahead and answer it Kuran-san." Zero smiled, and Kaname did as told.
"Hello?"
"Kaname!" Kaname heard the familiar voice of his best friend and smiled. "There's something urgent that you need to know!" Takuma said in a happy tone.
"What is it Takuma?" Kaname responded. Zero wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation since he was so concentrated in tidying up the futons, but he heard fragments of it.
"This afternoon at 3pm, you are going to meet with another actor. He wants you to be in his movie, as his partner…..." Takuma said. Kaname was thinking on what did Takuma mean by the word "partner". Kaname hoped that it wasn't a romance movie, since he was starting to realize the romance he got himself in. It's true, Kaname thinks he has feelings for Zero, but he isn't so sure if it's like or love yet. He thought that it's too sudden for people who just met, but he'll find out sooner or later. Then, Takuma said something again. "….in CRIME!" Kaname sighed in relief.
"I see, and who is this actor you speak of?" Kaname was so stuck in the conversation that he didn't even realize that Zero went into the bathroom, located at the farther right of the room, taking a shower.
"He's Hanabusa Aidou, he's a fan of your acting as well."
Kaname had heard that name before, that person was featured in one of the best action movies of all time. "Alright, later at 3pm, can you come and pick me up?"
"Sure, at your Ruka's place right?" Takuma said, he didn't know that Kaname was dumped and kicked out for another, and now would probably be the best time to say so.
"No, not at that witch's placed anymore." Kaname hissed. Kaname gave Zero's address, and Takuma was dumbfounded at the new address that was given by the actor.
"Oh? What happened with her? Let me guess, dumped you for another actor?" Takuma teased. Kaname had been dumped a lot, and usually, that's because Kaname was uninterested in the people he was going out with.
"No, I made her go crazy mad and she just kicked me out." Kaname said nonchalantly. Takuma laughed since he didn't like Ruka anyway and thought of her as an annoying twit. It was a good thing that Kaname broke their bond. Although, this news about having a new home means new relationship for Kaname, and Takuma found it interesting to have gotten a relationship so quickly right after being kicked out.
"I see, alright. I can't wait to see your new girlfriend now! I'll go there at 2pm okay?" Takuma said in excitement.
"W-wait! Takuma! The person who owns the house that I'm in isn't my-!" But before he could finish his sentence, Takuma hung up. Kaname would have to deal with him later instead, he remained calm and maintained his composure. Just as he put his cellphone back into his pocket, that was when Zero discharged from the bathroom, with only a towel around his waist. Kaname blushed furiously at the sight of Zero's pale yet fit torso, he could see Zero's dripping hair, and that added to Kaname's thought of Zero being hot. Zero then noticed that Kaname was staring at him and disrupted the actor's thoughts.
"Kuran-san, you can use the shower now. I'm done anyways." Zero said calmly, not noticing the brunette's flustered expression. Kaname just nodded and dashed to the bathroom in a hurried way. "Huh? What happened to Kuran-san?" Zero asked himself, Kaname was acting strange.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Kaname was crouching on the bathroom floor. He was feeling his cheeks burn up even more when he imagined Zero's erotic stature. Even if it was unconsciously or unknowingly, he accused in his mind that Zero was seducing him. Yet he shook his head again. 'No, Zero is not that kind of person. He's…..innocent.' Kaname thought, he got up from his crouching position and stripped. He went into the shower and bathed himself thoroughly.
Zero was now dressed up on a simple white button-up shirt and pants. He was in the kitchen making both his and Kaname's breakfast. He tends to ask Kaname why he was acting strange, but he left that question at the very back of his mind. While he was deep in thought, he was adding salt to the eggs, but it seemed he kept his hand a little too near the pan, and accidentally got burnt. "Ouch!" He exclaimed, he blew on his hand, trying to cool the burn. "Oh no." He said annoyed, that burn would probably stay there for a while. Zero finished up what he was doing and served the meals on the table, he then went and tried to find something to cover it. The last thing he'd want is for Kaname to find out that he got hurt. Succeeding in hiding it with a hanky, he went to the table and waited for Kaname to come out of the shower.
Kaname was out of the shower now, he was drying his hair and putting on his clothes at the same time. He didn't want to go out half-naked like Zero a while ago. He blushed at the thought of Zero with only a towel around his waist again, then he shook his head, slapped his face several times, and pinched himself. He did everything he can to just get rid of the thought. 'Kaname Kuran! Get a hold of yourself!' Kaname then picked up a delicious smell, from the bathroom, he can smell the fragrance of eggs. "Mmmn! Breakfast!" Kaname emerged from the bathroom and into the small dining area where Zero was waiting for him patiently.
"Kuran-san! Breakfast is ready!" Zero smiled happily as he finally saw Kaname while the brunette blushed at the sudden enthusiastic expression.
"Yeah! Let's eat! Sorry to keep you waiting." Kaname said as he took his seat and grabbed his fork and knife. Zero just shook his head, showing that he wasn't actually waiting long for the actor. They ate in silence. Kaname was enjoying his home-made breakfast and Zero was becoming more restless. What if Kaname sees his hand? That was on his mind almost throughout the meal, his food was almost left untouched. Kaname noticed this, and he secretly examined the silver-haired teen. Throwing ever so slight glances and observing how the male was acting. Then he noticed his hand, it was wrapped with a handkerchief. 'What happened to his hand?' Kaname thought, then a plan popped in his head. "Hey Zero."
Zero was brought back from his thoughts and he faced the brunette that called him. "Y-yes, Kuran-san?" Zero slightly stuttered.
"Are you going to finish that?" Kaname asked, pointing at Zero's plate of untouched breakfast. Zero looked at his plate and shook his head. "You can have them." Zero unconsciously used his injured hand to give the plate to Kaname, and that made Kaname's plans succeed. Kaname then quickly grabbed Zero's hand, making the male drop his plate in surprise. Zero looked at Kaname, then they locked eyes. Concerned wine eyes were staring intently at shocked lavender ones. "K-kuran-san. W-what are you-" Before Zero could finish his sentence, Kaname interrupted him.
"What happened to your hand?" Kaname asked bluntly. He couldn't believe that Zero got hurt when he wasn't around.
"Eh?" Zero said dumbfounded.
