Save You (I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing)

Again Yuuki was caged. This time imprisoned in her room in the Moon Dorm. Kaname was sick and tired of her always thinking about Zero and secretly meeting him. He vowed to put an end to that. He had given up his hope that Yuuki would sometime adjust to her vampire presence by herself and decided to force her into her new life.

"It's for your own good, Yuuki," he had said before closing the door and locking it.

However Yuuki wouldn't understand. She was hating him for doing this. She wasn't allowed to leave the room. Kaname had made it very clear to the other vampires that they would be in big trouble if they let her out. Nonetheless Ichijou, Aidou, Rima and Shiki she had made friends with and felt sympathy for her, kept visiting and keeping her company and tried to give her comfort.

Even food was brought up to her room. But Yuuki refused to eat and drink same as taking the blood tablets. She was already three weeks in delay with that. It was only a matter of time until she would suffer another episode. At the beginning she had had the slightest hope that her hunger strike might ease Kaname off but he remained as cold as ever.

During the day he relied on Ichijou and the others to keep a close eye on her and during the night he did it himself, forcing her to attend classes, accompanying her to the classrooms and back into her room and forcing her to sleep at daytime. Despite everything he could not break her. Her will remained strong, determined not to give in. As soon as she noticed him leaving her side she would get up. Strangely she was never tired though she had been awake all day and night. But she noticed herself growing weaker day by day as she was not feeding, no matter whether on food or blood.

Of course she could have escaped through the window that was always open but she didn't as it would cause her friends trouble. She was a good girl after all. She minded others.

Then the night came when Kaname was absolutely needed at the council and had to leave. Before he had told Ichijou to keep watching Yuuki and threatened him with punishment if he wouldn't do so. Ichijou didn't care. Together they made up a plan Yuuki carried out an hour after classes had started. She pretended to feel suddenly very sick and luckily the teacher dismissed her. Yuuki didn't return to her room but turned into a whole different direction – straight on her way to Zero's room. She knew he would be asleep by now but she felt the increasing desire to be with him. Supported by her vampire powers she climbed up the walls to his window and entered his room. As she had expected he was sleeping already peacefully. She carefully approached him and crouched on the floor beneath him. She didn't want to wake him. She just wanted to be there, close to him. Satisfaction started to flow through her body as she patted his head smiling.

"I miss you," she whispered into his ear while stroking his cheek gently.

She knew she couldn't stay there forever. Kaname could come back every minute, noticing she wasn't at class or in her room. Her face fell when she prepared to get up and leave. In that moment two hands suddenly grabbed her by the waist, lifted her up and put her into the bed beside the body that had turned around to her side. Zero's eyes shot open and he smiled.


When I hear your voice
Its drowning in a whisper
It's Just skins and bones
There's nothing left to take

You'll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you
I wish that I could tell you something
To take it all away
Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know


Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time


"I knew you'd come back."

Yuuki couldn't help smiling. "Why didn't you say something?"

"To spoil that little surprise? No way. I missed you, too," he added and leaned his forehead against hers.

"I need to go," she whispered sadly.

"I know," he replied. "But before... There's something I actually want to do to you."

"To me?" she smirked.

"Yes," he breathed. "Trust me."

"Okay."

"Close your eyes."

Zero cubbed her head with his hands and pulled it closer to his. He softly placed his lips on hers and as soon as she realized what was happening she softly kissed him back. They were sharing their first kiss which was fueled by a messed mix of emotions and sensations rushing through their bodies. They both wished they could stay like this forever.


I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you, baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing


Then after ages as it seemed they pulled away. Yuuki stroke his cheek for one last time, got up and headed for the window to leave.

"You broke your promise."

Yuuki turned around. Zero was staring at her.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused.

"You're not taking the tablets."

"How do you know?"

"Your hands," he explained. "They're getting warmer."

"Oh well," Yuuki said. "I'm thinking of it as a sickness that can only be treated with those tablets when it's time."

"It's a chronic sickness," he said. "And you're doing nothing for recovery."

"Maybe I don't wanna be recovered."

"I'm giving you two more days," he told her sternly.

"Same for you," she replied.

They were smiling at each other in silence. Then they both said in chorus "I'll be there."

Sometimes I wish I could save you
And there's so many things that I want you to know
I wont give up till it's over
If it takes you forever I want you to know
That if you fall, stumble down
I'll pick you up off the ground
If you lose faith in you
I'll give you strength to pull through
Tell me you won't give up cause I'll be waiting if you fall
Oh you know I'll be there for you
