Chapter 3
A/N: Ok I've finally finished this one and it's a long one. I'll need to take a break for a few days I think.
Anyway hope you enjoy. Zero and Kaname are not my characters. I'm just having fun with them.
Warnings in this chapter for citrus including frottage. (That's my word of the day.)
Zero leant against a tree; he'd always like the tranquility of the woods. He'd stay here till night classes were well in session. The common areas would be deserted then and he could go back to his room without having to deal with squealing girls or those parasites. He was in a foul mood right now and it was better for all if he didn't have to interact with anyone.
If he was angry with anyone though, Zero knew he was angry with himself. He hadn't liked the spike of excitement that shot through his stomach and groin when the pureblood's eyes had calmly met his glare tonight. And, if he was truthful with himself, it wasn't the first time he'd had such a reaction to the pureblood. Even before he had fed from the brunette he'd been more aware of the pureblood than he preferred. After drinking from him a few times it was even worse.
Even now just thinking about him Zero experienced a scent memory. It was gone before he could recognize or react to it but for a brief second Zero could actually smell his shampoo, and the soapy clean smell of the pureblood's skin. It was all too easy to remember the feel of silken flesh and the quickening pulse under Zero's lips and tongue. What would the pureblood's mouth taste like? Zero caught himself wondering.
Okay, maybe he was attracted to Kuran. It probably happened to anyone who drank from vampires: a response to some chemical in their blood or pheromones or something. If he was physically attracted to Kuran due to a physiological response, Zero could understand it although he didn't like it, and he would do his best to ignore it.
The hunter was so lost in his thoughts he didn't sense another presence until the last minute. Zero reacted instantly and without conscious thought. Reaching up behind him with both hands he grabbed, spun round and found himself looking down at his enemy, fingers pressing into the sensitive spot behind the vampire's ear, his other hand applying counter pressure.
Kaname looked up at him patiently from his kneeling position. "Kiriyu are you going to let me up?" he asked in a neutral tone.
"What the hell are you doing here Kuran?" Zero hissed angrily, he could feel his fingers digging further into soft flesh. This was his refuge damn it! He came here when he needed to calm down. It wasn't smart for anyone, especially the pureblood, to be around him right now.
"You're acting strangely, even for you." Kaname said calmly. "I thought you might need to feed."
Zero laughed. His voice sounded strangely brittle, even to his ears. "You think you know what I need?" he demanded, digging his fingers in a little deeper.
Kuran brought out the worst in him. Just looking at the vampire's composed, calm features released his darker emotions; it made him want to do things. Things that weren't normal.
Warm chocolate brown eyes looked back at him steadily. "I came after you because I was concerned about you Kiriyu" Kaname replied patiently.
"You shouldn't be here." Zero said almost desperately. "You don't give a crap about me. You're just a control freak making sure all is right in your little empire." Kuran was making him crazy. Trailing after him when he shouldn't be near anyone. Letting him literally bring the pureblood to his knees. Why hadn't Kuran fought him? With the older vampire's strength and speed he could have easily evaded Zero's maneuver.
Kaname reached up and touched his fingertips to Zero's wrist. "I know you won't really hurt me Kiriyu" he said simply. "You need to drink and I'm here."
The hunter started, almost letting go of the brunette. Oh crap. Had he said all of that out loud? Well, Zero thought, if Kuran wanted to follow him around he'd show him what a bad idea that was.
Zero didn't apply more pressure, but dropped to his knees and used his body weight to push the older vampire to the forest floor. Releasing the pureblood's head and pinning him by his upper arms, Zero lowered his own silver head and deeply inhaled the pureblood's scent. He began to mouth the brunette's neck and lave the sensitive flesh with his tongue. Biting down hard, he drew mouthful after mouthful of the rich, sweet fluid.
As Zero drank he relished the sound of Kuran's ragged breaths. The other vampire's heartbeat was fast and his hands were first scrabbling then gripping at Zero's shoulders.
Zero was hard and his erection was pressing into the pureblood's hip. He rocked against the body beneath him; the situation was too much like the scene he had imagined in the shower earlier that morning and he was hopelessly stimulated.
Under him Kuran moaned softly. He wasn't fighting him off though he must be aware of Zero's arousal. Zero continued to grind himself against the brunette, shifting his weight to make better contact and felt the rigid flesh of the brunette's own arousal against his thigh.
It was a shock though he shouldn't be surprised Zero thought. Vampires were hedonistic weren't they? So why should he be surprised that Kuran was getting off on being used as Zero's personal blood bank. The hunter felt his gut tighten at the thought. Zero withdrew his fangs, a little too quickly it seemed, as the pureblood sucked in a breath sharply in response.
"You like this Kuran?" Zero murmured into the pureblood's ear. "You like me biting you?" he purred as he flicked the tip of his tongue over the twin wounds in Kaname's neck.
There was no verbal answer though as Zero sank his fangs deeply into the sensitive juncture of the pureblood's shoulder and neck, he was rewarded by Kaname arching up against him.
Zero raised his head. He had taken as much as he needed from the brunette vampire to slake his thirst. The pureblood was flushed, his eyes closed, though as Zero looked at him they opened. The hunter noted the brunette's pupils were dilated, the brown irises almost non-existent.
"You want to continue Kuran?" Zero asked huskily as he leaned forward, gaze fixed on the flushed lips of the pureblood. It wasn't entirely clear to either of them if he was talking about drinking blood or something else.
"Yes." Kaname said simply.
Zero leaned closer, mouth almost touching Kaname's. He palmed the pureblood's hard length through the thin trousers and, as the pureblood groaned, Zero claimed his mouth.
Kaname responded, gripping Zero's back, and pressing his pelvis urgently against the hunter's palm. The kiss was rough and inexperienced but the hunter was intent on exploring the other's mouth and as Zero's tongue touched Kaname's lips and entered his mouth he realized the pureblood was encouraging him to taste and probe.
Zero broke the kiss. What had he been thinking? He was making out with Kaname Kuran! The pureblood was probably laughing at him, or worse, deliberately seducing him before he turned the tables and tried to screw the only local ex-human piece of tail available. Zero's mouth felt as if it was full of ashes. Well, he wasn't going to bend over for anyone the hunter thought as his heart galloped in his chest and his ears thudded with his pulse.
"Zero?" Kaname asked breathlessly. He seemed to be confused and struggling to regain his equilibrium.
The hunter, beginning to panic, had been about to say something scathing and sarcastic to bring this to an end. Hearing Kuran use his first name, and in that tone of voice shook him a little. The bloodsucker's probably surprised things aren't going as planned Zero thought angrily.
"So we're on a first name basis now - Kaname?" Zero purred coolly into the pureblood's ear. He felt the brunette's member twitch against his thigh at the use of his first name. "I guess that's reasonable since I just had my tongue down your throat." he continued silkily. He could feel his fingers trembling. He had been so close to making a colossal mistake.
The hunter rose shakily to his feet. Sexual excitement was long gone and the after effects of the adrenalin that had flooded his system were making him feel sick. He couldn't even look at the other vampire; couldn't bear to see his expression.
"This was a mistake Kuran." Zero uttered wretchedly. And before Kaname could respond, the hunter was gone.
