Clothed, fatigued, and yet completely satisfied, Kaname Kuran and Zero Kiryu sat on opposite sides of the bed, their backs facing one another.

"You came and received what you desired…don't you think it's about time to leave?" Kaname suggested pleasantly.

"Tch…I've just been thinking," Zero muttered with irritation.

"…About Yuki? I believe we both hold the same feelings for her," Kaname voiced in calm response.

Zero slammed his fist on the nearby table. "You always speak so goddamn highly of love! You say you love Yuki, that you want her to be her lover, so then are you going to use her for blood and fuck her senseless too?!"

Kaname gracefully stood up and walked towards the door, placing his hand on the doorknob.

"Dammit, don't you dare turn your back on me!" Zero cried, clutching the side of the table, his knuckles shaking. Kaname turned his face slowly and only partially towards the seated vampire.

"This was not love, Kiryu, only lust, a primal, bloodstained lust." Kaname opened the door, and strode out, leaving Zero alone in his room.
