Chapter 14. Zero's Lullaby
Ikuto's POV
The sunlight shining through the window woke me up. I pulled the covers over my head.
'I don't wanna get up'
I closed my eyes in an attempt to go back to sleep.
'That was a weird dream, but it was a good one.' I thought 'I want to dream it again. I want to see that silver haired angel again.'
I rolled over a little bit to try to get comfortable but I rolled off the edge of the bed.
'Oww... Wait, that didn't hurt. What did I land on?'
I looked down to see what I fell on top of. My eyes widened in shock. Zero was lying on the floor with a suprised look on his face. I jumped off of him.
"I'm sorry." I apoligized.
Zero laughed a little bit. "You don't have to apoligize. I'm not mad."
Zero's lavender eyes met mine.
He grinned "Good morning, Ikuto."
"Good morning." I said back.
'So I wasn't dreaming. My guardian angel is actually real.'
"Hey, what happened last night?" I asked.
"After you saw me, you cried in my arms all night." Zero replied.
'All night?'
I looked at the clock. The red numbers read 10:30 AM.
"Shit! I missed school." I panicked.
"Why don't you skip school for today?" Zero suggested. "You're hardly pay attention in class, so what's the point of going?"
I was about to object but he was right. Ditching school every once in a while doesn't hurt.
"Okay, but what should we do?" I asked.
"Well, is there a certain place you want to go?" Zero asked.
I thought for a little bit.
"Wanna go walk around the beach?" I suggested.
"As long as you're not going to try to kill yourself again."
"I won't."
Zero nodded and I went to go get dressed. A few minutes later, I was in the living room in a black and gray striped hoodie and jeans with my violin strapped to my back.
"Do you always have to carry that violin everywhere you go?" Zero asked.
"No, but I want to." I said.
I was about to open the door when Zero stopped me.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Before you go out, I need to tell you something." Zero said. "When you're in public don't talk to me."
"Why not?"
"Because you're the only one who could see me. You would look like you're talking to yourself." Zero explained. " If you want to talk to me, pretend you're talking on the phone or something."
I nodded.
"Okay" I said as I walked out the door.
We arrived at the beach after a 20 minute walk. There was no one there besides us. The air was cold and it smelled like saltwater. Wait. I feel like I've seen this before. Then it hit me.
'This is just like my dream. Does that mean the boy who helped me was Zero? But he didn't have wings in my dream.'
"Ikuto?" Zero said suddenly.
"What?"
"Are you okay? You were spacing out."
"It's nothing." I said.
Zero grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the ocean. We walked around the beach for a couple hours then we eventually got bored of it and we just sat down on the sand. I opened my violin case and took my violin out. I stood up and started to play my violin. I just let myself get lost in the song. By the time I finished the song, Zero was smiling.
"You liked it?" I asked as I put the violin away.
"It was so pretty but at the same time sad. I loved it." Zero complimented.
I felt the blood rush up to my face a little bit. I closed my violin case and sat next to Zero.
"Let's just talk." I said. " I want to know more about you. You don't mind, do you?"
Zero shook his head "No, I don't mind. Ask me anything."
"How old were you when you died?" I asked.
"Eighteen." Zero answered bluntly.
I asked questions about pretty much everything like his hobbies, what he does in his spare time, his likes and dislikes. I learned that Zero's family was killed four years ago.
"Why did you commit suicide?" I asked and immediately regretted it.
I could tell that Zero didn't want to answer.
"I'm sorry! That was really personal. You don't have to answer." I apoligized.
"Hey, it's getting dark. We should go home." Zero said.
I nodded and picked up my violin. We walked home. I went to go take a shower while Zero waited. I ripped off the band aids on my neck. The wound were still bleeding a little bit . I watched the blood drip down the drain. I turned off the shower. I looked at myself in the mirror. The scratches on my neck were healed a little bit. I decided not to cover them up and let them heal on their own. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Zero waiting outside the door. He looked up at me and smiled. I blushed. I was about to go to sleep when I was Zero lying in the floor.
"Zero, you're not planning to sleep on the floor again, are you?" I asked.
I moved over to the side of the bed. "Sleep with me."
Zero nodded and climbed onto the bed. I turned off the lights and fell asleep.
I'm in that dark room again. Blood was everywhere and the smell of it made me sick. There were a few dead bodies scattered around the room. I immediately identified two of them as my parents. The other two were Kukai and Utau.
"You did this to them." a creepy voice said.
"Ikuto."
I turned around. Zero was standing behind me, looking sad. A dark figure suddenly grabbed him. Zero tried to break free but failed.
"This is what happens when you disobey Easter." the creepy voice said.
"Please... don't" Zero pleaded.
The unknown person just smirked and started tearing Zero's wings out. I tried to stop him but my legs couldn't move. I was forced to watch Zero cry and scream in pain. Zero just dropped to the floor, crying and bleeding.
"This is your fault." Zero said, looking at me with hateful eyes.
"No. This is a lie . No...No...
"NO!" I screamed. I sat up and looked around. I was in my own room. I looked at the clock. The numbers read 12:00 AM.
"You okay?"a voice asked.
I turned my head. Zero was sitting next to me. His wings were still there. The moonlight shining the window made them glow.
"I just had a bad dream. I'm alright." I said as I laid down.
Zero wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to his chest. I cuddled closer to him and took a deep breath, inhaling Zero's scent. He smelled like lavender. I wished Zero would hold me like this forever. I felt Zero touch my hair. He started humming a random tune then started singing.
(A/N: The song that Zero is singing is called Moonlight by Mamoru Miyano who is Zero's japanese voice actor. the song is on youtube. please listen to it while you're reading this. You guys will be suprised that Zero can sing.I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG!)

(A/N: Sorry if I got the translation wrong)
I was amazed. Zero's singing voice was so beautiful. It goes pretty well with his angelic appearance. Zero kissed me on the forehead, making me blush.
"Goodnight, Ikuto" he said softly.
"Goodnight, Zero"
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Ikuto: Hey Chains, whatcha doing?
Me: *closes notebook* nothing.
Ikuto: Why is your nose bleeding?*snatches notebook*
Me: Can I has my sketchbook back?
Ikuto: *Flips through pages and sees pic off him and Zero kissing* O_O
Me: *blush*
Ikuto:you were drawing a picture of me and Zero making out!
Zero: how perverted are you?
Me: hey my perverted-ness is what got this story started in the first place!
