AN: so sorry for the late update! I had computer problems. Oh! I have a poll on my profile, check it out!
The horses in the stable could feel the cold brush against but they acted like it didn't bother them. Zero sat in the stable with his horse, White Lily, enjoying the silence that engulfed him. His fingers drummed against the coffee mug in his hands in boredom. Silver strands reached down to his eyes, almost brushing against his nose. He didn't bother with cutting or trimming his hair any more, although Kaien and Sayori are begging him to fix up his hair. He could hear the sound of footsteps crunching in the snow. He could tell from the scent it was a girl from the sweet smell.
A dainty hand pushed the wooden door open. A person slide pashed the door and closed it quietly. There stood Seiren, she sneaked out of her room, waiting to get out of there. Zero hide himself from her, just to see what she was doing. She was supposed to be in her room, healing her wounds and resting.
Seiren managed to dress herself, although she looked good, she still looked pale and sick. Seiren had clothed herself in skinny pants, a plaid coat, a scarf wrapped around her neck, and gloves covered her bandaged fingers. Her short ash blonde hair was a bit messy, actually making her look cute. Zero mentally slap himself from thinking that way about Seiren.
The other horses sensed Seiren and hid themselves from her, expect for White Lily. White Lily peaked her head out of the stable, directing her attention to Seiren. Seiren noticed the white horse looking at her, a faint smile brushed across her face. The small vampire moved towards the horse, brushing her fingers in the white mane. White Lily sniffed Seiren's scent, noticing the scent of a vampire off her.
"…So beautiful. I wonder what's your name." Seiren lightly whispered to herself.
"White Lily." Zero's voice startled Seiren; she peaked over in White Lily's stable to see Zero sitting in the corner.
"Zero…why…aren't you cold?" She asked, concern in her voice that surprised Zero. He got up and fixed his clothes.
"I'm fine. You should be in bed."
"…I just wanted to get out of there." She said, hanging her head down in guilt. Zero noticed she was shaking and her breathing had an odd pattern. He reached over to her and took her chin in his hand. Seiren was surprised by Zero's actions, but her surprise soon became embarrassment. Seiren found herself staring in Zero's amethyst orbs. Zero noticed Seiren's icy blues were bloodshot and she was paler than usual. She was freezing cold and little puffs escaped her mouth.
"Are you okay or something?" Seiren shook her head no and moved her chin away from his hand. Seiren tired to keep herself warm and started to cough, very violently. She bent over in pain as she continued coughing. Zero jumped over the wooden stable and tired to hold her steady. He took noticed that her coughs were like his during his blood lust. Seiren felt her throat quench in thirst. She hadn't had her blood tablets this morning. Seiren has never actually tasted real blood, ever shared blood, and only had blood tablets. Seiren could hear the blood pump through Zero's vines, making her thirst even more painful.
Zero tired to grab her and carry her to back to her room but Seiren's fingers found their way to his collar, pulling on it a bit. Zero panicked and quickly grabbed her in his arms and carried her. Seiren realized that she was actually lusting for Zero's blood. She blushed and covered her mouth, she curried up in his chest. Zero held onto her tight, trying not to drop her. His shoes crunched in the snow as he rushed in the academy. He walked up the stairs, quietly, and tired to find her room. He pushed the door of her room with his foot and lightly lied Seiren on her bed.
Zero took a glass in the bathroom and filled it with fresh water. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a box of tablets. He drop the pills the water, watching the clear aqua turn to a bright red. Zero walked out of the room and sat on the bed next to Seiren. Handing over the glass to her shaking hands, Zero watched as Seiren gulped down the fake blood.
"…I-I'm sorry" Seiren whispered to him.
"No need to be sorry. It happens." He said, awkwardly attempting to comfort her. Uncomfortable silence followed, creating more tension in the room.
"Seiren-chan, I'm sorry for asking but…have ever tasted…" Zero's voice trailed on, worried about offending her.
"Real blood? No." Seiren's raspy voice returned to its regular monotone. Zero removed the empty class from her fingers, and placing it on the nightstand. He stood up from the bed, making Seiren wanting to pull him back.
"Get some rest, and uh…here…" He reached in his pocket and placed the pillbox on the nightstand. Seiren was about to protest but Zero waved it off.
"Keep them." He waved a small bye and walked out of the room, closing it behind him. Seiren watched as he walked away. She kicked off her shoes, removed her jacket, gloves and scarf. She grabbed her blankets and piled them on top of her. Seiren stared at the nightstand, looking at the tablet box Zero gave her. She reached over and grabbed the box. It still had his warmth and scent on it. Seiren realized what she was thinking and tired to snap out of it, but couldn't.
- To Zero, during class-
Zero sat in the back of the class, observing everything else but the teacher, Kaito. He was too caught up in his own thoughts to focus on anything else. Everything he thought of ended up to Seiren. He tired to get her out of his mind but it so difficult to do. He kept thinking about what happened with her this morning. He was surprised she never tasted real blood, that Kaname bastard probably didn't let her,
"Zero-kun?" A small voice snapped him out of his thought of the noble. He looked down to see his friend, Sayori.
"Yea?"
"How's Seiren doing?"
"Uh…she's…fine." Zero chocked out, making Sayori a little worried.
"Are you okay, Zero-kun?" He nodded his head and rushed out of the classroom without anyone noticing. Sayori watched as her friend rushed out of the room, noticing his eyes were turning to a red color.
"I don't want her to become another Yuuki to him…but Seiren is almost like him…" Sayori thought to herself, smiling a bit to herself.
Sorry if it sucks. Review please!
