The Chosen Mate

Kissing You

Zero laid on the couch watching Shiki devour Pocky after Pokey, Zero wondered if it was the cravings or his favorite food. He guessed the latter. It was past seven and Yuki was eating before going to work. Kaien said that he would transfer both her and Kaito to the morning shift and the morning shift will have to work NOC shift. There wasn't anything good to watch and read his book, he glanced at Yuki once more before reading.

"I'm starting to work A.M. shift after I come back from my days off." Yuki told Zero who looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"That's good, at least I won't have to see some of the caregivers who flirt with us." Zero pointed at Shiki and himself.

"Aw, it's great. You should totally date one of them, they seemed nice enough." Yuki smiled making Shiki smirk.

"No," Zero pouted.

"Besides, Zero already has a girl. What was her name? May or something like that." Shiki said with a chocolate stick sticking out of his mouth.

"Really, how does she look like? Is she pretty? Nice? Ugly? Rude? Do tell." Yuki said leaning back on her chair resting her hands on top of her now full stomach.

"Her name is Mary, nothing much. She's cool {Shiki snorted} and her grandfather lives there." Zero said halfheartedly glaring at Shiki who smiled innocently.

"Oh," Yuki said smiling still brightly.

"Well, I have to go take a shower for tomorrow, see you all." Zero stood up and walked to the bathroom a towel and clothes on his hands.

"Natalie, good morning!" Zero said as he opened the woman's door looking inside the dark room a bag on his back pocket and gloves on his hand.

He saw the woman raise her head slowly and began to get up, Zero closed the door and began to look for clothes for the old woman. He pulled out a pair of light blue pants and a long-sleeved shirt with a butterfly design on the left side of the stomach. He began to unbutton her nightgown and changed her of her dampens. He put her clothes and was now looking for her slippers. He found them under the bed and put them on. Zero led the woman in front of the mirror and began to gently brush her hair. He loved to brush their hair, he decided to do some spikes up while curling the bottom part since her hair barely reached her shoulders. He then lead her to the bathroom to help her brush her teeth.

"OK, go to the dining room for breakfast." Zero told her as she nodded thanking him and left.

Zero did the same to the residents, he got them up changed them groomed them and more. He walked fast as the time was beating him, he had to work with three other caregivers since its Shiki's day off. He smiled brightly as he went to go inside the kitchen after his row of residents were filling up. He pushed the man to his seat and went to get more residents as the waiters/waitresses began to take their order. The caregivers were forbidden to enter the kitchen unless it was for their lunch or room service other than that it was a no-no. He did not notice a pair of cobalt eyes following his every move like a predator stalking it's prey.

"Good Morning!" Zero smiled as he walked passing residents walking towards the nurse station to check who was calling.

Zero saw it was not his row, he picked the phone up and put it on speakers. "109," he then hung up and walked out to see a male caregiver rush towards said room. He crabbed a bag and began to clean the residents room since he had no room service. He picked up the trash and did beds passing the housekeeping waving at them, oh yes it was all going good.

Something was wrong, Zero looked behind him when someone gently patted his back. He turned around quickly after he looked around to see his ride not there yet.

"Hello Zero," Mary smiled at him.

"Hi," Zero smiled awkwardly not really wanting to talk after what happened he feels paranoid.

"Going home already," she said twirling one strawberry hair in her slender fingers.

"Yup just waiting for Shiki," Zero said looking to see someone else instead of Shiki he almost gasped when Kaname parked and walked towards them.

"Shiki had to go to the doctor's, I'll be back I have to turn in some papers for Cross." Kaname said seeing that Mary had her arm around Zero, he slightly frowned.

"Hello Kaname Kuran, I'm Mary Suez." she smiled at him.

"Pleasure to meet you, so are you coming or-"

"Let's go I forgot to tell him something. I'll see you later Mary." Zero waved as he walked next to Kaname, too close for her comfort. She half-glared at the taller brunette before walking away with her nose held up high.

Zero didn't say anything for the short walk, he blushed every time he and Kaname made eye contact. Why was he feeling all shy all of a sudden? He barely knew the man and he was acting like a high school Yuki, yes Yuki. She's worse than a girl crushing on the hottest guy in campus. He looked at the mirror and stopped, he made the taller man stop as well-looking down at the small silverette.

Zero couldn't lie he and Kaname looked good together. He could picture the brunette man hugging him from behind resting his elegant neck on his shoulder. The taller man with a half smirk as he would have a lovely blush decorating his cheeks and giving out a small embarrassed smile. He shook his head blushing. He let his head fall down and kept walking to the direction of the office.

Kaname smiled imagining the silver-haired man hugging him from in front his face turned up trying to kiss him. Kaname wouldn't mind at all to kiss the younger man and take him right in front of the mirror so he could see that lust in those eyes. The face when he would come hard and his screams filling the room, or when Zero would take him into his mouth, his silver strands tickling his stomach as he sucked him.

Kaname almost slammed himself on the wall, his southern regions were heating up making him uncomfortable, he knew he had a boner now. But no that's not what scared him, it was of who he was thinking. How can the slender male give him reactions this hard? He needed to find out or sleep with him and that would take care of little Kaname.

He knocked on the door seeing that the man was reading some paper work. He looked up and smiled ushering them inside. Kaname sat on one of the comfy chairs and took a folder out.

"So, what brings you here Kaname? My son?" Kaien tried to hug Zero who only walked to the farthest corner from where his 'father' was.

"I came here to give you these documents, from that day. I also checked the registration form and then the man died last night due to Takuma's beast inside of him." Kaname said as he waited for the question.

"What did he do?" Kaien asked looking serious making Zero take a double look if he was hallucinating.

"He said that he was going to get some action if he got to them," Kaname said seeing Zero flinch and look at the floor.

"Disgusting, I'm glad he died. Thank Takuma for me, I would have done the same thing if I were there." Kaien seethed, no one touched his children and lives.

"Right now they are burning the body, we never got anything." Kaname shrugged.

His whiskey eyes looked at the pictures of younger Zero and the rest. He was glad that they had got to them on time before someone else got them. All they had to do is protect and hunt his uncle out. He sated at Kaien's ring finger, he couldn't believe it when he and Toga announced their wedding years ago. He had met a fifteen year old Zero, Yuki, Ichiru and Kaito. Although they weren't introduced, he had seen them playing around the gardens in the sprinklers.

"Well we can't do much, I'll have to go to the meeting, are you coming?" Kaien asked as he gathered his papers and putting them inside his portfolio.

"I can't make it, Rido has been spotted next to an old abandon train station. We are needed there." Kaname grimaced as he also stood up, Zero got out of his daze and walked a little closer to Kaname.

"Alright, I'll see you all later have a good night." Kaien said as he watched them leave first.

Kaname walked to the car and unlocked it, he sat down watching Zero sit on the passenger seat. He drove the opposite direction of where the silverette lives making Zero questioned where are they going.

"I'm a bit hungry, so we are going out to eat." Kaname said looking at the road.

"Where to?" Zero asked as he got comfortable.

"Somewhere," Kaname said still looking at the road.

They had come to a decent restaurant, Zero wasn't dressed for it, he was still in his work uniform. So he glared at everyone who looked at him as if he was a walking freak show. He was about to seethed at a woman who looked at Kaname and pushed her top a little lower to show her generosity, making Zero glare slightly.

Kaname had to glare at the men who were eyeing Zero as they walked to their seat. One man didn't even avert his eyes and trialed them down so slowly, and now he went back up to see him staring. Kaname wanted to go up there and punch the man in the face sending him to the next century. He automatically put an arm around Zero's small waist making him flinch a little.

"Um,"

"It's too crowded, so I'll lead us to our table." Kaname smirked inside feeling something warm steer inside him. He likes the feeling Zero gave him.

Kaname watched the man who was still looking at him. Kaname made eye contact again and glared at the man who flinched and averted his gaze to the opposite. He smirked triumphal as he pulled Zero closer to his body loving the feeling. His pride could burn in hell for now and enjoyed the younger man's presence. He found the table and sat on opposite sides next to the window enjoying the outside.

"May I take your order?" a waiter asked as he took his notepad out with a pen.

"I want Sprite," Zero said smiling politely.

"Some wine," Kaname said looking at the silverette.

The waiter nodded and walked away before looking at Zero once over and blushed. Kaname frowned once again, every bit of time he spent with the silverette it's like they already knew each other since long ago. He felt comfortable in his presence, he saw Zero looking outside trying to avoid his gaze. It hurt a bit, but he held in a smirk when a lovely flush decorated his face.

"How did you and Cross met?" Kaname asked.

"Both my parents were murdered by rogue vampires while we, my brother and I went to go explore the woods like any other five year old's. We didn't tell our parents because they were setting the camp. We went deeper, we found a small river and played around with it. It got dark and by the time we went home our parents were being devoured by rouges. We couldn't do anything and just watched in horror as they screamed." Zero said looking out the window trying to clear some unwanted tears.

"Go on," Kaname said looking at the smaller man.

"They were about to come get us when guns were heard. My brother was behind me and I was almost bitten, he was this close to killing me too if it were not for Yagari and Kaien." Zero quickly wiped some of the tears off.

"I'm glad that they had found you both." Kaname smiled making Zero blush, he'd never seen the man give a beautiful smile.

"How about you. Do you have parents?" asked Zero as he thanked the waiter who had brought their drinks.

"Can I take your order," he smiled at Zero.

"I want steak rare," Kaname said glaring at the man.

"And I want the fruit salad with stuffed sole." Zero smiled at the man who wrote everything out and left with wink.

"Well my parents were murdered sixteen years ago," Kaname said looking at his drink.

"I'm sorry," Zero said.

"It happened a long time. I was at work when Kaien came in telling me that my house exploded all of a sudden. I panicked and ran instead of taking a cab, all I could hope was for my parents and sister's safety. I got there in time to see it crumbled down. My parents bodies were found along with some of the house servants. They couldn't find my little sister, it was as if the ground had swallowed her." Kaname said in a sad voice.

Zero wanted to go and hug him, but he didn't. What if he gave out the wrong impression? He just did what his heart told him and put his pale hand over Kaname's slightly larger one. Kaname smiled at him feeling his heart skip a beat, he really wanted to lean forward and kiss those sinful lips. It felt as if he already knew Zero, this is what Takuma had told him when he met his cousin Shiki. Wait a second-

"Here are your orders enjoy," the waiter smiled leaving after placing their order.

Zero dug into his fruit starting with a red strawberry and finishing with the watermelon at last. Kaname watched as Zero plucked a big juicy melon and slowly licked it as he looked outside. His whiskey eyes never looking anywhere else as Zero bit the watermelon and some of the fruit's juice flowed down his chin. He wanted to pin Zero to the table and lick it off, then kiss him, then squeeze some pieces of watermelon onto his lips, cheeks, neck, stomach-no! Kaname shivered in pleasure as he tried to get rid of those thoughts. He began to cut his steak and bit into it.

Zero looked up at Kaname as he saw him look at his stake with lust filled eyes, he watched him eat the steak in pleasure almost as if he was about to moan. Zero mentally groaned, why was Kaname being sexy all of a sudden? He couldn't take his eyes off as some of the juices trailed down to his chin and Kaname had to lick some of it off while he wipe the rest off. Who could have thought that someone would look so good as they ate steak, Zero felt his eyes turn slightly red when Kaname closed his eyes in bliss. He couldn't take it, if this kept going he might just pin him and ride him like there was no tomorrow. He groaned when his pants began to get tight, Zero began to think of other things.

He using a water gun and shot Ichiru making him complain about getting wet. Zero would keep smirking as he wet Kaname making his crispy white shirt clung to him leaving nothing to the imagination. Those well-built abs, that six-pack, those lick-able pebbles-NO! Zero mentally smacked himself on the table. OK, thinking of something else was not what was on his agenda, especially dirty thoughts. He sighed finishing his food looking dazed as to what will Kaname think of him once he finds out what his perverted mind is imagining.

"Shiki went to Aidou for a check up on the baby," Kaname said cutting the awkward silence all of a sudden.

"Really? How was he and the baby?" Zero asked tilting his head cutely.

"Both are fine and healthy." answered Kaname as he took a small sip of his wine.

"That's good. The other day Shiki made fun of me. He began to say about how will Yuki look pregnant, that she will be more energetic. He then laughed saying that I will be moodier when I get pregnant, hah! I will not be bottom. I'm going to top my man no matter who it is!" Zero smirked. He then erased it after he rethought of what he said making him blush and look at the man in front of him.

"Well, maybe the one who you want to top might fight for dominance?" Kaname chuckled. To anyone who knew Kaname well and could see him now would all cause a riot and look for the real Kaname.

"Too damn bad, I'm not bottoming. I'll fight if I have to." Zero said leaning forward.

"And if the other person wins?" Kaname leaned forward as well only inches away.

"I will not lose. I don't care if they win, I will be alpha." Zero said as he were centimeters away from the pureblood.

"Not if that someone has nothing to say." Kaname smirked leaning oh so close that Zero could smell some of the man's scent.

Zero closed his eyes and leaned the rest of the way forward, they touched lips and both jumped when a fire of electricity shot them making them shiver. The touch was addicting, they didn't want to separate, Kaname was about to move his lips when the same waiter decided to slap the bill with a half glare at the brunette. Kaname's beast roared for blood to be spilled. He wanted to tear apart the human who dared mess with them. His eyes were blood-shot red glaring at the man who did not notice the change of eye color.

"Thanks," Zero was about to take his wallet out when Kaname picked it up quick and left the money on the table not caring if it was more than it originally was.

"Kaname!" Zero was pulled out of the restaurant by one angry vampire.

He was shoved inside the car and the now whiskey-eyed man drove home. Kaname drove fast making Zero clutched the seat-belt hard as if it would make Kaname stop driving. He glanced to see that Kaname's eyes had turned red every so often. Zero didn't want to ask what was bother Kaname. Could it be the kiss? Zero wondered how it felt so right to kiss him, hell they weren't even kissing for five seconds when the waiter interrupted them, he kissed him. Zero wanted to keep going and see where it would lead them to.

"Home sweet home," Zero smiled. He turned to thank the man only to be met with a pair of soft lips. Zero's eyes widened when Kaname moved his lips against his, he closed his eyes and leaned forward kissing him back. He shivered feeling electricity sparks shot inside of them. He felt Kaname groan as he pulled back and wished him a good night. He kissed his forehead and let him get out.

Zero smiled as he waved walking back inside the door. He closed it behind him, his back met the door and smiled dumbly at the ceiling. He looked forward to be met with an emotionless, Shiki who stared at him with a slight smirk on his face. Zero didn't care as he walked inside his room and sat on his bed looking at the ceiling feeling his lips. Why did he feel so giddy all of a sudden. Well because he just kissed Kaname Kuran!

Oh shit. He. Just. Kissed. Kaname Kuran!

"Oh my God!" Zero realized too late.

Haha, I hope you all liked it. Oh my god and I was eating a slice of watermelon when I got a perverted idea of it. I will never see watermelons the same way again. xD Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chap! Review! Love you all~
