Kon'nichiwa min'na~ Gomen ne~ if I did something to make you hate the story. I hope that you'll forgive me~ Even if this is a Kaname x Zero fic, I want you know that there are also other pairings okay? (:3) Hontoni gomen ne~ De wa, enjoy this 6th chapter of "Career, Love, and Family".

-not flashback-

"Wow…first love, huh?" Kaname asked, they weren't in the living room anymore. Kaname was now sitting at one of the dining table's chairs while observing Zero cook lunch.

"Yeah…you could say that." Zero half-heartedly chuckled, he was glad that his back was facing the brunette because he didn't want the actor to see his hurtful expression right now.

"Then?" Clearly, Kaname was curious and pissed off at the same time. He should've known that Zero was pursued before. No one can resist the urge to go and ask him out, his complexion is usually the cause. 'Even by just a glance, anyone can find him alluring…' Kaname thought in his head. 'It's just a shame that I didn't steal Zero's heart first! Damn!'

"Well…." Zero continued, snapping the actor from his thoughts. "….I did fall in love with him….and he, with me….but everything fell apart a few months ago." Zero finished preparing lunch and placed it on the table. He sat adjacent to where Kaname did and he sighed.

"Eh? You broke up a few months ago?" Kaname was surprised. That was really unexpected of the silverette. Zero faked a smile trying to reassure the brunette that he was over it, but the actor saw right through it. Although, he didn't want to push the matter further, but he still had a question to raise. "So….how and why?"

Zero was still mending his broken heart! The bastard that made his Zero this sad should be sued! Wait- did he just think that Zero was his? Kaname blushed at the thought. He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts and focus more onto the silverette in front of him.

Zero raised a hand to his face. He could feel the heat radiating from his face at the thought of telling the actor more about his past love life. "Umm….."

-from flashback- one year later….. (gomen ne~ I'll revise chapters when I finish the story :3)

A knock was heard at Zero's door. The silverette was just finishing up breakfast, so he didn't mind to leave his dining chair to answer the door.

"Who is it?" Zero asked as he opened his apartment's door. What revealed was a tall man with wild and fiery hair, wearing a silk suit.

"Hey,did you miss me?" The man smiled and brought Zero into his arms, catching the silverette off-guard. Zero snuggled into the warmth of his lover, wrapping his arms around his waist and smelling the fragrance his lover had emanated.

"Of course I did, Akatsuki." Zero smiled. It's already been a year since he started a relationship with the man and he was so happy to see him back from his long-term work.

Akatsuki chuckled and brought Zero's face up from his chest and stared longingly at the lavender eyes he loved so much. The silverette blushed lightly when the male slowly leaned in and kissed the side of his mouth. "I'm glad." The tan felt sad for what he was about to say to Zero and hoped that the latter will forgive him in the future. "Zero, I'm here to tell you something…"

"Hmm? What may that be?" The silverette stared into the orangey depths of his lover, not even thinking of what may be about to happen to the both of them. Heaving a sigh, Akatsuki pulled Zero to the living room and settled themselves' on the couch. He held Zero's hands and stared at the silverette for who knows how long until he had the guts to say what he had to.

"Zero…let's break up." The sudden statement shocked Zero and made him freeze to make sure he heard it right. 'Break..up?' The thought of it made Zero be brought to tears in an instant. He stared at Akatsuki's eyes, looking for a reason.

"Why?" The reply was barely above a whisper but the tan heard it clearly. It hurt him to do this, clearly because the silverette didn't deserve to be separated but to be loved. "Akatsuki…why are you doing this?" Zero broke into a series of sobs as tears fell from his eyes.

"Zero-" Akatsuki was cut off as Zero suddenly whispered.

"Get out." The tan's eyes widened a fraction cause he was confused. He was about to ask why when Zero said it again, this time, like a shout. "I said get out! Don't you ever come near me again!" With that said, Zero glared at the tan for breaking his heart and ran to his room, slamming it.

-end of flashback-

"After that…I never saw him again…" Zero said sadly. "I cried myself to sleep every night and wish that I wake up to find it was just a bad dream….but…." Zero didn't want to continue his train of sentence because he was brought to tears and can no longer say another word. Kaname patted the silverette's back in reassurance.

"You don't have to say anymore, Zero." He said, now pulling the crying silverette to his chest in a loving hug. 'Akatsuki, that bastard. I'll get back at him for making Zero cry.' Kaname cursed in his head. He drew small circles on Zero's back to comfort the now sniffling silverette.

Their intimate moment was interrupted when they both heard the door bell ring. Kaname glanced at the clock which he now knew where it is and checked the time. Surprisingly, it was already 2 pm and surely, Takuma was at the door right now. The actor wiped Zero's tears away and cupped his cheeks so that he could face him.

"Zero, please be my lover. I promise that you will be happy with me, more than you were with him." Kaname asked pleadingly to the silverette. Zero's eyes were wide at the brunette's bluntness and his once sad expression was replaced with embarrassment.

"B-but we don't know much about each other yet a-and…" Kaname silence Zero with his finger.

"We can get to know each other tomorrow and have the time of our lives as a couple…please…just for today…act as my lover for Takuma." Kaname gave his best puppy eyes to aid in persuading the silverette to agree. His years as an actor must have paid off because Zero heaved a small sigh and nodded his head.

"Fine….but promise me that we'll get to know each other and see if we are compatible, alright?" Zero said in a serious tone. Kaname smiled and hugged Zero tightly saying thank you so many times. After a few seconds after the hug, they both heard Takuma's voice.

"Hey, Kaname! You in there?!" Takuma shouted at the top of his lungs. He knew Kaname and he knew him very well, and one of the traits that Takuma always took note of is that Kaname can be considered deaf when it comes to being in his lover's presence. The blonde assumed that his friend was with his lover since he has been standing outside of the apartment for about 5 minutes, and his patience is getting the best of him. Finally, the door opened, and there, in front of him, stood the actor with a silver-haired male standing right behind him, blushing profusely.

"Kaname, thank Kami that you finally opened up." Takuma smiled then he glanced at the silverette. "Is this your girlfriend's little brother?"

The two males that were inside and at the door stood there frozen in time as they heard that. Takuma had the wrong idea about them even after seeing them.
