Chapter 7

The fabric on the back of the couch was an interesting pattern. This close, the individual threads were apparent; each separate, yet interconnected, weaving in and out of the others.

He'd been staring at the back of the couch for some time but Kaname wasn't sure how long. Zero lay behind him unmoving, half on, half off him. If Kaname held his breath he could feel the hunter's ribs moving against him, expanding and contracting as he breathed slowly and steadily. His muscles were relaxed, one knee and thigh resting between Kaname's, an arm still tucked under them. His breath was warm and moist against the pureblood's shoulder. It was obvious he was sleeping. Kaname gave a rueful smile. He liked the feel of Zero pressed against him while they rested, but he was beginning to get uncomfortable. He was sticky and itchy and Zero was heavy. Idly he wondered if the couch was salvageable. Probably, since he was apparently lying on Zero's crumpled shirt, which seemed to have taken most of the damage.

They'd had amazing sex and he was still a little dazed. Kaname was sure that even if it hadn't been his first time, he would have still thought it was the most incredible experience of his life. It had been wonderful and passionate and wild and a little scary and Kaname couldn't stop thinking about it. He was embarrassed about some of the things Zero had done with him but he couldn't stop replaying different parts of the last hour or so over and over. He had never let himself go like that, ever, but Zero had somehow overrode his ability to repress his desires and Kaname had lost control of his responses and actions, basically letting the hunter do as he pleased.

There was a reason for self-restraint Kaname reminded himself. He had shared the most intense physical connection he could ever hope to achieve and in doing so may have laid himself bare for crushing heartache. It was foolish and he could be badly hurt but he didn't seem to have any sense when the hunter was involved. Kaname wriggled his shoulders a little to ease Zero over slightly. The hunter gave a little start and the pureblood could tell Zero was awake. Kaname lay still, suddenly not sure what to say.

He'd been sleeping, Zero realized. Damn, he hadn't meant to do that. What kind of person had euphoric sex then promptly collapsed on their partner and fell asleep? Still, it looked like Kaname was doing the same, so Zero didn't feel quite as bad. The hunter gave a little grunt of distaste as he tried to move. His arm was under the pureblood and felt like it was asleep. They were both sticky and probably glued together. He really needed to get cleaned up. He couldn't stay indefinitely but he couldn't leave smelling like he was wearing Eau de Kaname cologne.

Easing himself up on one arm Zero leaned over a little looking at the pureblood's face. Kaname eyes were closed; his dark lashes casting shadows on his cheek. Zero carefully eased his arm out from underneath the sleeping pureblood. "Kaname?" he whispered. No response.

Since he could look at him unaware, Zero took a moment to watch the pureblood. He gazed at Kaname, his eyes tracing the pureblood's facial features. "Kaname?" he tried again, still no response. Zero impulsively leaned over a little more and kissed the pureblood high on his cheekbone. Since Kaname was asleep, he let his lips leave a trail of kisses, following the curve of bone along the jaw and placing a gentle kiss on the corner of Kaname's mouth. Still the pureblood didn't move. Zero smirked as he eased himself off the couch. "More like a zombie than a vampire," he muttered as he padded off in search of a shower.

Kaname lay still, eyes closed as he listened to the hunter moving away. What was Zero doing? Was he getting dressed? Zero couldn't just leave though. He was lying on the hunter's shirt, Kaname remembered. Why hadn't he let Zero know he was awake when Zero had kissed him so softly? He wasn't a coward so why did he freeze? Kaname sighed. Each time he gained ground with the hunter he lost some. It seemed one of them was always backing off.

Just like the other night. Zero's assertiveness had been really arousing. But once he had brought Kaname to climax the hunter had gotten shy. It would have been sweet if Kaname hadn't been so frustrated. Zero didn't really seem comfortable with someone touching his body. But it had probably been the first time he had been touched like that, Kaname mused. Life at the school was sheltering and Kaname couldn't see Zero having many opportunities to experiment. Besides, he knew Zero wouldn't put a human at risk of sudden bloodlust and he wouldn't be a vampire's plaything. Even if this had been a one-time thing for the hunter, Kaname didn't think Zero would throw the fact that he had given himself to the younger boy back in his face. Zero could be cold and moody but he wasn't manipulative or vindictive, and what were those kisses? He obviously thought Kaname was asleep or he probably wouldn't have done that, but the hunter's actions had given him away. That wasn't the action of someone who didn't care. The younger vampire wasn't as cold and emotionless as he would like Kaname to believe.

He could hear the sound of the shower running in his bathroom. He should really get up and talk to Zero or it was going to be very awkward. The pureblood pictured a wet and naked Zero in his shower. He'd better wait till Zero was out of the shower though.

Zero surveyed the bathroom. It was bigger than the one Zero shared in the Sun Dorm, or even the one at the Chairman's house. Kaname had a big deep bathtub plus a large walk-in shower stall. The pureblood seemed to like his creature comforts. There was a huge assortment of shampoos and conditioners, even several bottles of body wash. Zero knew Kaname was used to being pampered and his bathroom was proof. Zero smiled to himself as he fiddled with the faucet. He was feeling ridiculously cheerful. Still the pureblood was not weak. He was physically strong and mentally held himself tightly in check. That was a strength too, one that the hunter admired.

Zero was wary of emotions. He had spent the last few years building elaborate barricades against them. He had fought despair and loneliness since he was bitten and his family killed so long ago. The only emotion he allowed was anger. When he was angry he wasn't feeling despair for the past or regret for his lost future. Sometimes it was all that got him through one day to the next. Emotions were like wild animals. They could turn on you and rip you apart, destroy you even, if you let them. Better to feel nothing if possible, than be torn to pieces.

The hunter ruthlessly squashed his gloomy thoughts. He would accept Kaname's blood, and whatever else was available for as long as it was offered. Even when he was just drinking blood, holding Kaname soothed his loneliness, making it easier to control. But Zero knew physical contact could create a false sense of intimacy. He would have to be careful, Zero thought. Kaname's caresses felt so intimate. When the pureblood touched him, his body's own responses gave strength to his emotions, overwhelming him and eroding his carefully built walls. Zero didn't want Kaname to know the effect he had. Knowledge was power and could be used to control or further hurt him. He couldn't get emotionally attached to the pureblood. If he allowed that to happen, when it ended, and it would, he'd be broken.

The shower was still running but Kaname heard Zero returning. Was he coming to get his clothes?

"Oi, Kaname, wake up." Zero said as he poked the pureblood in the rump with an index finger. The sleepy naked pureblood looked so peaceful, he just couldn't help antagonizing him.

Kaname rolled slowly onto his stomach, leaning on his elbows and arching to stretch his back as he looked at the hunter somewhat cautiously. He needed to buy a little time till he figured out how Zero was going to react now that they were both awake.

"The water's hot, come on." Zero said reaching out his hand and pulling Kaname to his feet and towards the bathroom. "You need a shower." Zero said, herding the pureblood into the tiled stall.

Kaname allowed Zero to push him under the falling water. He stood facing the wall, head down, his wet hair hanging forward. The hot water cascaded over him, feeling good. Zero had followed him into the shower stall and after a moment the pureblood turned his head. Zero was looking at the assortment of bathing products. Kaname watched as Zero picked up a bottle and sniffed it.

"You use this one a lot right?" Zero said, looking up. "It smells like you." His eyes traveled up and down the pureblood's body and he gave a little lopsided smile. "You need to get cleaned up," he said pouring some of the gel into his hand.

Zero stepped closer and switched places, moving Kaname out of the shower's spray. He slid slippery hands over Kaname's neck, rubbing behind the pureblood's ears, down over his collarbones and over shoulders and arms. Kaname sucked in a breath as Zero's hands glided over his sensitive nipples and down his stomach. Zero's violet grey eyes flicked to his face, looking up at him slyly from under dripping bangs as the hunter slid a sudsy hand across Kaname's hip.

"Turn around Kaname, " Zero said almost playfully. He seemed to be in a cheerful mood. Kaname had never seen the hunter relaxed. He'd never seen him smile before today either. He didn't seem to be embarrassed by their activities and he wasn't running off. Kaname complied, turning slowly, and Zero stepped closer as one hand slid between the pureblood's thighs. A soapy palm trailed lightly over his groin and Kaname's body woke up as the hunter's sudsy fingers moved over his skin and probed the cleft of his cheeks, rubbing against his entrance.

"Does it hurt? Are you sore?" the hunter asked softly.

Kaname shook his head. "I'm fine Zero, better than fine. It was wonderful."

Zero moved out of the spray. "Okay you can rinse," he said briskly, ignoring the brunette's comment. He didn't want to think about the emotional side of what they were doing. Better to just keep things physical.

Kaname backed into the water to rinse, watching the hunter reach for the bottle of shower gel. "My turn Zero." the pureblood said gently.

The hunter's head shot up and he looked at Kaname uneasily. "I can do it myself Kaname," he muttered.

"You washed me. Won't you allow me to wash you?" Kaname asked watching Zero carefully. He made an effort to keep his voice light and his own body language relaxed. Zero's body language indicated he was going to refuse, and before the hunter could answer, Kaname played his trump card. "I know you're not fond of being touched, but you're not scared of it are you?" he enquired innocently.

Zero glared but he gave in. "Fine. Whatever," he muttered grumpily.

As he moved closer, Kaname held out his hand for the shower gel and Zero handed it over grudgingly. Kaname poured a generous amount into his palms and started at Zero's throat, just as the hunter had done with him. He spent time washing the hunter's ears, enjoying the feel of the hard metal piercings against his slippery fingers, before siding his arms behind Zero, moving on to the hunter's shoulders.

The muscles of the younger boy's shoulders and neck were tense and Kaname worked the knots, massaging gently, applying more pressure as he felt the muscles begin to relax. Kaname snuck a peek at the hunter. His eyes were closed and his head was tilted back slightly, hands hanging loosely at his sides.

The brunette continued to knead the muscles of Zero's shoulders, working his way down to the small of Zero's back and the swell of his cheeks. As he felt Zero tense he switched to the front spending more time than was necessary on Zero's chest and stomach.

Kaname loved the feel of the hunter's slippery skin. He didn't want to stop sliding his hands over and around Zero's nipples, down to the dip of his stomach and back to his nipples, again and again. If he kept this up, Zero would likely become aroused again but the hunter wasn't telling him to stop and the pureblood wanted to touch the silver-haired vampire for as long, and in as many places as he could. This was the first time he had really explored Zero's body and stroking the slippery skin was stimulating. Kaname was getting hard, his member starting to feel heavy and hot against his thigh.

Zero tried not to groan. He didn't really think having his body touched this way was smart and he intended to end this soon but right now it felt so good. Strong fingers had loosened muscles Zero hadn't realized were knotted. When the pureblood started to slide slick fingers over his sensitive nipples, trailing his hands down towards his groin, Zero's pulse began to speed up. Kaname repeated the motion over and over, stopping just shy of touching Zero where he suddenly really wanted to be touched, and now Zero did groan. He could feel himself hardening and it took all of his willpower to stand still and not move into the older vampire's touches.

Kaname smiled to himself but he was careful not to change his expression. Zero was encouraging him, almost imperceptibly rising up on his toes as Kaname slid his hand towards the hunter's groin. Now he increased the area he was stroking, sliding a slippery hand along Zero's stiffening shaft as the hunter hissed with pleasure. The pureblood returned one hand to Zero's nipple, continuing to slowly stroke Zero with the other. The next time he slid his hand down he continued around the hunter's thigh and over his rear, using a slippery finger to tease the hunter's tight ring of muscle. Zero jerked in surprise, opening his eyes and staring at the pureblood.

"Relax Zero," Kaname whispered, guiding Zero into the spray. Apparently certain portions of the hunter's anatomy were off limits.

"I won't do anything unless you say it's okay. Though if I promise not to bite you, will you let me try something?" the brunette asked softly. He had stopped caressing Zero and was using his hands to help rinse off the suds.

The hunter looked at him warily. "Don't try anything weird Kaname," he warned. Though to be fair, he had pulled some pretty weird stuff on the pureblood.

Kaname smiled slightly, leaning forward. He held Zero's hips loosely as he took Zero's earlobe into his mouth, flicking his tongue over and around the hard jewelry, his teeth clinking occasionally against the metal.

"Aghh," Zero breathed. The pureblood's mouth was so warm and wet and his tongue was doing something that was sending spikes of lust straight to Zero's groin.

"Okay so far?" Kaname asked, the amusement clear in his voice.

"Yeah." Zero managed. He wanted to take the brunette all over again, here, right now. Kaname was trailing open mouth kisses down Zero's jaw and over his neck. The shower spray kept his skin wet and the kisses felt almost frictionless. There was just enough sensation to make him crave more.

Zero stiffened as he felt Kaname moving over the area where he'd been bitten.

"The neck is a very sensitive erogenous zone for vampires," Kaname murmured against Zero's neck before flicking his tongue in strange little patterns. He was careful not to let his teeth touch the hunter's flesh.

It was disconcerting at first but as the movements became repetitious Zero found the sensation pleasant and he relaxed a little more. Kaname's hard length occasionally brushed against his, providing an arc of erotic sensation from his groin to his neck. He didn't think Kaname was doing that intentionally but it was so arousing. He was hard again.

"Kaname stop. Please," Zero ground out huskily.

True to his word, the brunette pulled back but he didn't release the younger vampire's hips as he watched his face, waiting expectantly.

"I'm…. I want…..," Zero hung his head. "You should stop," he panted, his face hot.

The hunter's skin was wet and flushed, water dripping from his silver bangs and even his eyelashes. Kaname envied the beads of water rushing over Zero's body. They lovingly touched the hunter's lips and nipples, continuing down his flat stomach to pool in the soft curls surrounding his erection, before reluctantly slithering down the hunter's thighs to the tiles on the floor. Zero looked so appealing. He was breathing hard, fighting his desire and Kaname very much wanted to see the hunter out of control. It wasn't really fair if only he was the only one that couldn't control himself.

Gripping Zero's hips a little more firmly Kaname leaned in again, continuing to mouth and lick Zero's neck and collarbones. He thought he was beginning to understand how to push the hunter's buttons. The pureblood reached for the hunter's hard length as he whispered directly into the hunter's ear, "But I want to do it again Zero."

As Kaname's touch and his words reached him simultaneously, the hunter's entire body reacted and he flung his head back, biting his lip to stifle his gasp. Zero tasted blood and knew he'd bitten it.

The hot metallic scent hit Kaname's senses instantaneously. This was his lover's blood, his mate's blood and it had been denied him. He was consumed with the desire to embed his fangs deep into Zero and ravage the younger boy. To take both his blood and his body as the hunter thrashed and screamed. Kaname closed his eyes, breathing shallowly through his mouth. It didn't really help but it gave him a focus until he could get his rational side in control. He would not let his fangs lengthen or his eyes change to crimson. He would never take anything of Zero's by force. That was unthinkable. But the aroma was exquisite and in his heightened state of arousal he physically ached with the need to complete the circle of blood sharing he had unwittingly begun with the hunter. Maybe he could alleviate the need without biting. Would he be allowed a taste? Not much, just enough to imprint Zero's flavour in his memory so he would be able to remember the hunter's distinct taste forever.

Only seconds had passed. He still had his hand wrapped around Zero's length and a peek through his lashes showed him the hunter was staring at him wide eyed and frozen in place, a bead of blood welling up on his lip. As he watched the hunter's tongue quickly slipped out to chase the droplet away but another grew to replace it. The pureblood stared at the tiny sphere as it swelled, becoming larger. Kaname could feel Zero's body beginning to tremble.

He could do this, Kaname thought. A fleeting moment of gratification, no matter how much he wanted it, was not worth losing what might be between them.

"It's okay Zero. I promised I won't bite you," he breathed. "Just don't move suddenly." He moved forward and gently touched his tongue to the crimson drop. The droplet exploded against his tongue and Kaname's mouth was filled with the rich tang and satiny texture of the hunter's lifeblood.

Kaname gently drew Zero's bottom lip into his mouth as he caressed the bite with his tongue, licking the blood away as it reached the surface of Zero's lip. Under his careful ministrations the skin healed rapidly. Kaname sought out and devoured every atom of the younger boy's spilt blood, probing and stroking the hunter's mouth until he was left with just an echo of the sweet ambrosia. It was enough though. He would never forget Zero's unique flavour.

Zero had been too startled to move and it was over before his fright could fully kick in. Kaname had soothed his lip, thoroughly kissed him and was now firmly stroking him as if nothing had happened. He expected he would have been drained dry but the pureblood had seemed barely interested. Zero would think about this but not now. The brunette vampire was squeezing and stroking his length, insistently, driving Zero wild. Kaname wanted them to have sex again and Zero was more than willing to accommodate him.

A bottle of conditioner was within reach and Zero made a grab for it. Kaname seemed to realize what he wanted it for and shook some out, coating Zero in the slippery substance and moving back to lean back against the tiles. The hunter sucked in a breath as the cold liquid touched his hot skin and Kaname seemed to smirk.

His smirk disappeared as Zero closed the distance, pressing hard against the brunette and pushing his way into the pureblood's tight, velvet heat. Both boys groaned as Zero continued to remorselessly push forward, penetrating Kaname slowly inch by inch.

It felt incredible but Kaname wanted, needed, to feel Zero take him deeper. Maybe this wasn't the best place to do this but it was too late now. The pureblood shifted, spreading his legs a little before hooking a leg around the hunter's hip.

Zero was startled at Kaname's movement but he could move more freely with the pureblood's leg around his hip. If one leg was good maybe two was better? Zero grabbed Kaname's other thigh and lifted him as the pureblood uttered a surprised little cry, grabbing Zero's shoulders.

"Ughh!" Zero grunted. He was rather suddenly fully seated in Kaname, his legs braced, arms supporting the pureblood's thighs, resting his head against the pureblood's chest. "Just give you a minute 'kay?" Zero panted. He knew he wasn't really being coherent but he needed to calm down. He was struggling with sensory overload here. But he wasn't going to admit that to the pureblood.

Kaname's back was pressed against the cool tiles, legs wrapped around Zero. The hunter was fully sheathed in him but he wasn't moving. Kaname didn't want a minute. He wanted to feel Zero sliding in and out of him now. Pushing back against the tiles he arched his body up and off Zero then gripped the hunter's hips with his legs and pulled himself down and onto the hunter's shaft. It felt amazing and Zero made a sound somewhere between a sob and a wail. Kaname definitely wanted to hear him make that sound again. The pureblood rode his young lover, moving deliberately. He could see the top of the hunter's silver head and feel his muffled cries against his chest but he wanted to see Zero's face.

Bracing himself against the tiles, Kaname pushed his hips forward and the hunter was forced to step back, creating some space between their chests and stomachs. Zero looked up as if to ask what was he doing and Kaname held his gaze as he moved deliberately, impaling himself on the younger vampire, over and over. The hunter eyes were almost all pupil, his throat and cheeks flushed as he breathed raggedly through his mouth. Seeing Zero like that and knowing he was responsible was amazingly erotic. Kaname might technically be the bottom right now but there was no question as to who was calling the shots this time. Last time Zero had verbally teased him without mercy. How would the hunter respond to the same treatment Kaname wondered? He had responded by bitting his lip earlier. Kaname suspected Zero was stimulated by bedroom talk.

"Do you like the way this feels Zero? Do you like the way I feel?" Kaname asked in a sultry tone, watching Zero as he spoke. He felt slightly foolish but the hunter liked it, he could tell.

"Agh… nghhh." Zero involuntarily responded. He had assumed he'd be controlling things but Kaname as usual, managed to take charge, even in a situation like this. Normally it would infuriate him but right now it was an unbelievable turn on. He was moving deep inside the pureblood who was so hot, so smooth. He was close and trying hard not to reach orgasm first. He wanted to see Kaname's face when he climaxed again but the pureblood was pinning him with this hot, sexy look and he couldn't hold on much longer. Zero grit his teeth with determination.

That he was causing this reaction was very arousing for Kaname. The hunter's reaction was stoking his own desire. Kaname quickened his movements to match those of the hunter. Zero was starting to speed up, beginning to move more erratically. Kaname suspected the hunter was close now and he wanted to reach his peak with him. Zero made a sudden forward lunging movement, pressing tight against him, sandwiching him between the wet tiles and the hunter's slick body as he thrust upwards as hard and fast as he could.

"Nghhh … agh… Zero! Zero!" Kaname panted as he flexed and writhed on the hunter.

"That's it, Kaname, aghhh, aghhh," Zero cried as he tumbled over the edge. Distantly he felt the pureblood's body tighten around him as Kaname sobbed something incoherently.

"It's okay. It's okay," Zero soothed. He was so tired now. His legs were shaking and he let go of the pureblood's thighs as he slowly withdrew and lowered them both to the shower stall floor.

Kaname came back into himself as if from a great height. He was kneeling in the shower and holding Zero who was slumped on the floor, head pressed against Kaname's chest. He'd been shielding the hunter's face from the shower spray while his fingers carded through Zero's silver hair. Zero's arms were encircling Kaname, his hands holding the pureblood loosely around the waist. Periodically his breath hitched and his hands tightened as he unconsciously pressed a little closer. Kaname found the hunter's dazed condition endearing. He knew once Zero came to his senses he would likely resume his ingrained habit of keeping everyone at arm's length, but this was a rare opportunity to, well, cuddle the hunter. It was surprisingly satisfying.

A minute passed and Kaname sighed reluctantly. The water wasn't as hot anymore and they really should get out of here before it got cold. "Come on Zero," Kaname murmured gently guiding the hunter to his feet. He steered the younger vampire under the water. Zero stood quietly, a sleepy unguarded expression on his face, while the brunette quickly washed the hunter down, then himself. Kaname turned off the water and nudged Zero over to the bath mat. He selected a large fluffy towel from the abundantly stocked selection and quickly wrapped it around himself. Choosing another he wrapped it around Zero and began to gently rub him down. The towel he had chosen for Zero was a bluish purple and contrasted well with the hunter's silver hair. The first towel he had taken was a pale yellow. He could easily have used that one for Zero. Did he unconsciously select the second towel for Zero because it suited his colouring better, he wondered?

Zero was aware he had been mentally drifting for a while. He was relaxed and sated. It was pleasant to have someone else wash him and dry him. No one had done that since he was a very small child. Yuki had helped him bathe once, but that had been the night of the attack. Zero winced slightly. Usually he tried not to think about that night. He was always filled with despair and anger when he did. Zero waited for the inevitable feelings to flood through him, drowning him, but nothing happened. The hunter relaxed cautiously. It seemed he wasn't going to freak out tonight.

Unaware of Zero's thoughts, Kaname continued to gently dry him. The hunter's hair was still wet and Kaname grabbed a smaller towel, enveloping Zero's head before blotting the excess moisture and rubbing the silver hair with the towel. "Are you always this amiable afterwards?" Kaname teased gently as he tousled the hunter's damp locks with the towel.

Having his hair touched had always made him relaxed and sleepy and after their recent activities Zero mental barriers were well and truly lowered and his mind was drifting lazily. He answered without thought, responding to the question honestly. "I don't know. When we do it again we'll both find out."

The hands toweling his hair slowed and Zero experienced mild disappointment. A few seconds later his response sank in and he realized just what he'd said. Zero's blissful relaxed state evaporated. Shit! He'd just confessed he had no experience. He acted so boldly. As if he did it all the time and knew what he was doing. He'd taken Kaname, twice! And just as embarrassing, he'd all but admitted he wanted to do it again sometime. The pureblood would never allow that now that he knew Zero was so inexperienced. He'd been stupid letting the pureblood slip through his defenses and now he would be hurt. Any second Kaname would say something cold and hurtful and then cut him out of his life.

Kaname removed the towel from Zero's head, using his long fingers to arrange Zero's tousled hair into some sort of order. The hunter wouldn't meet his eyes and was blushing furiously.

"You've never done this before, Zero?" he asked softly. Kaname had suspected as much but he was fiercely glad that the younger boy had never been with anyone else and touched that he had chosen Kaname for his first time. No one ever forgot their first time did they? Of course Zero was his first lover too but he hadn't really had much choice had he? He was imprinted on the hunter. The more honest part of him spoke up, asking if imprinting and one-way blood sharing could generate a response that was strong enough to bring him to his knees in the shower.

Kaname gently touched Zero's chin, tilting his face up. The hunter still refused to meet his eyes. Just a few days ago he'd decided to come clean with the hunter hadn't he? So he should be honest with both Zero and himself.

"I'd like that. You know, it was my first time too," he said simply. He might seem to be worldly and experienced, but Kaname had lived a pretty restricted existence too. Plus as a pureblood he was protective of his privacy and wary of other's motives.

The hunter's head jerked up and startled lavender eyes met his. Kaname could practically see the gears grinding as Zero frowned, replaying the last couple of sentences.

Zero's expression cleared as Kaname's words finally made sense but he looked even more surprised. "You've never done it either?" Zero asked surprised. "And you still want to do it again, with me?" he asked incredulously.

"Well not right now Zero. I'm pretty tired," the pureblood deadpanned. "But practice makes perfect," the pureblood gave a little smirk. "Finish drying while I see if I can find our clothes. I think I'll need to loan you a shirt though," Kaname said amusedly as he exited the bathroom, leaving a thoroughly surprised ex-human standing on his bathmat wondering what was wrong with his shirt.
