Flashback~
Ishida had appeared deep in thought before he had spoken up, deciding to tell the truth in regards of what happened.
"I..."
Now~
"I...I'm not sure myself either. All I knew was the day before, I had taken blood tablets and I was happy, sort of, to come to Cross Academy; everybody was so nice. Then I slept happy and warm that night. And it was a good day the next day too. At least a good morning. I had lessons then I went for lunch with Zero, if I'm not mistaken. After that, I went to my room and the last thing I knew was a voice in my head saying something like 'kill... hurt...' of a sort. Then when I 'woke up', I was being hated and glared at." Ishida made inverted commas at the different places, confusion and hurt plastered on his face.
"I guess it was really weird. Cause I really don't like being hated by people I have started to like. Especially not a new school in which I just enrolled in."
Zero seemed to understand, considering his position as the 'fearful prefect no one dared to approach', assuming that everybody had hated him.
But it wasn't true.
In this world, there is always somebody who treasures you for who you are, who you were and who you might become.
And Zero has found, or liked to think he has found that special someone in his heart.
"But that doesn't explain anything about what happened. All we know is you don't know the events, meaning you could be faking the innocence or it could also be real. We have no real evidence," Kaname explained, seeing as Zero was about to relent.
Sighs, the silverette was really too kind-hearted.
"But... Kaname..."
The look that said pureblood gave him was enough to shut him up and made him trust Kaname.
"I know you probably don't believe me. But please... I'm not lying. I really didn't know what I was doing at all." Ishida desperately explained, trying not to be hated by the person he liked.
Feeling Zero's ire that Kaname refused to forgive Ishida, the brown-haired pureblood sighed. Zero was really... a hopeless case. Gosh, anyone could take advantage of him and he would forgive the guy so long as he looked guilty.
"Oh fine... Go on. Bye," Kaname deadpanned, not wanting him in THEIR room anymore. The air already stank.
"I have to be forgiven first. If not..."
Seeing the look that Ishida gave him, Zero could only nod. It was intensely honest and trusting. He was not familiar with someone giving themselves to him like this. It was foreign but... not unwelcomed.
Ishida finally smiled, one of relief and joy. He bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Zero, Kuran-sama. I owe you both so much."
Kaname's mouth snapped shut; Zero preventing him from saying 'Damn right you do' before he could say it. He inwardly pouted, pulling a chuckle from his lover.
"Yea yea... You may go," Kaname said emotionlessly, shooing him away with his hands.
Ishida bowed once more before he walked to the door and walked out, softly shutting the door behind him.
Hearing the click, Ishida finally heaved a big sigh of relief. Happy and for once light-hearted, Ishida practically hopped down the stairs, not caring even if he had bumped into other vampires.
Unknowingly to Ishida, Kaname and Zero could both hear his heavy sigh. They chuckled in amusement. Looks like Ishida didn't know about the abilities of vampire powers either.
"Zero, are you sure?" Obviously stating the topic of forgiving the vampire who just exited the door, Kaname asked concernedly.
"Yes, I can tell he doesn't mean it." Smiling, Zero replied.
"Oh please, you think everyone regrets what they harm," Kaname said, a hint of a tease on the tip of his tongue.
Zero glared mockingly while he pouted, deciding to play along.
"Yep, everybody except you, Kana-San."
Gasping in feigned hurt, Kaname brought a hand to his chest, seemingly clutching at his heart.
"That really hurt, Zero. For that, I have to... punish you."
With that being said, Kaname pounced onto Zero, who was unfortunately still sitting on the bed. With a cry, Zero fell backwards onto the bed, landing on a soft pad.
"Oh yea? What are you gonna do to me huh?"
"Nothing much." Kaname said with fingers slowly creeping towards Zero's side. "Except THIS!"
At that, with vampire speed, the pureblood brought his slender fingers up to Zero's sides and started moving them against it without mercy, tickling Zero mercilessly.
Finally realising what he was doing, the silverette could only cry out and laugh when fingers found his weak spots and applied pressure.
"Noo... St...stopahahahaha. Noo! Hahaha! Kana...me!" Zero struggled to cease the questing hands by his side, failing miserably at the feeling of the tickling.
Trying to protect his oversensitive sides, Zero hurriedly tried to cover them but even that failed when Kaname's fingers flew around his ribs and stomach, drawing laughters and cries from the person lying on the bed.
"Ahahahaha! St..op. Ok...I... Hahaha. I yield. I'm sorry... Hah! Ahahahaha! Nooo! Stoppppahaha."
Finally deciding to take mercy on the poor vampire shaking with laughter, tears threatening to come out, Kaname stopped.
"Have you learned your lesson?"
Gasping and panting, Zero quickly nodded, not wanting a repeat of what just happened.
Content with a smug grin, Kaname lied down beside the still heaving silverette.
"I..."
*Knock knock knock*
Three sharp knocks were heard at the door, causing the pureblood to curse. There always seemed to be something between him and Zero's sweet moments.
"Come in."
Aidou's face appeared..
"Yes?" Kaname asked, back to being emotionless almost immediately while his lover was still lying on the quite comfortable bed, heaving.
"The chairman said he wanted to see you and Zero, Kaname-sama." Aidou said respectfully, with a bow.
"Alright. Thank you, Aidou."
Bowing, said person exited.
"You heard him. Time to get up, Zero."
He heard a groan which was muffled by the soft, silky blankets but sounded suspiciously like 'Go by yourself and tell me.'
"No I will not. Come now, quick before..."
Hands poised in the air, igniting a gasp from Zero before he shot up.
"I'm going. Let's go!" Without waiting for the pureblood, Zero dashed out of the door, not wanting to be caught up by him again.
With a laugh, Kaname followed suit.
...
"Zerorin!" came the cry of joy when Zero and Kaname first walked into the room.
Sensing even before they had come into the room the potential danger of being crushed to death by this man called the chairman, Zero skilfully dodged out of the way, having honed his skills to dodge out of the hugs for years now.
"Chairman, please refrain from touching my properties." said a possessive pureblood as he wrapped his arms around 'his property'.
This in turn caused a rose colour blush to dust Zero's cheeks, staining it a beautiful red.
"Kaname you idiot!" Turning around swiftly, said person proceeded to dodge out of harm's way before a punch landed on where his head had been several seconds ago.
"Awww... My dear son! How can you treat your beloved husband like this! Your daddy is disappointed in you..."
"Be...belov...ed husband?! Why is he the husband?! Why aren't I?! And don't call me your son!"
Hearing the response, Kaien and Kaname exchanged a look.
"Do you think you can be the husband, Zero?" came the simultaneous deadpanned answer which was not really even a question.
Zero sweat dropped. He sensed a very sarcastic question which seemed to be more of mocking him than a genuine curiosity.
"Why not? I'm the man one. Kaname's just...plain girly." Zero huffed, crossing his arms.
"Ohhhh... Zero, do not call a pureblood girly. I'll show you just how girly I can be at night. Just you wait." Kaname wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, knowing Zero wouldn't get it.
"Fine then! Show me! But why at night? Why not now?" Zero mulled over the question, not comprehending the danger that he might face.
Kaien, on the other hand, was shocked.
"Kaname you bastard! Don't tell me you deflowered my poor Zerorin already?!" Pouncing on said person to 'beat the crap out of him', the chairman screamed.
"Hehehe... You heard him. He asked, 'Why not now?' Doesn't that proof how eager he is?" The pureblood grinned sadistically, staring at Zero, who by then, could not understand the situation at all and just wanted to get whatever they had to do over and done with.
"So what did you want us here for, chairman?"
"Oh that's right! I almost forgot... Zero, Kaname. What would you two think if I were to say that we go on a trip? Since school holidays are just around the corner. We should go bond together," Kaien exclaimed gleefully.
Zero cringed. 'Bond'? What kind of bonding? Can the chairman's skills with planning be trusted?
Obviously understanding what Zero was thinking, having been with him for so long, the chairman reproached.
"Oh it's not that bad. How mean, Zerorin. To think that I carefully planned this trip for you and you don't even appreciate the thought."
Gaping at the accusation, Zero said grumpily, "Oh fine... Is it only me and Kaname?"
"Of course not. I'm coming and so is little Yuki. And the entire Night Class! It'll be like a vampire holiday out! Except me of course... But still! I'm a vampire hunter, so that's close enough right?" Kaien rambled excitedly.
Both of them sweat dropped. The chairman had to be the lamest person ever. Everybody knew that vampire hunters and vampires are the furthest things apart on Earth. It's like the sun and the moon; day and night; black and white.
Hearing that the Night Class was coming, Kaname and Zero were both not thrilled. That would mean lesser time to themselves after all. But Zero didn't really mind their presence. After being the Moon dormitory's president's boyfriend for seven months, he had made friends with the Night Class. They were not that bad.
However, the problem was... Zero mentally blanched at the thought of Yuki coming along. He heard a deep rumble in his mind, then a voice.
'Oh Zero, I know you don't like her but she is still my sister.'
Though the words were stern, even through the mental bond, Zero could feel that Kaname was just saying for appearances purposes; he himself did not like 'his sister' much.
"Che... Troublesome. Fine, we'll go. Right, Kaname?"
Said pureblood only nodded.
"OH HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT IT'S TROUBLESOME! ZERORIN! I'M SO HURT!" Already reverting back to his childish self, Kaien exclaimed in a mock display of tears, throwing himself bodily towards Zero. The ex-human only dodged, leaving the ex-hunter in another pile of rubble.
Kaname chuckled at the antics of his lover and said lover's 'father'. People may doubt it when they see this scene, but Zero did sincerely love Kaien like his own father. He had, after all, been raised by the chairman for four years.
