To all who have waiting for this story:

I'm so sorry for the late updates. I've been busy that I have no time to write the story and my connection broke, so that's why this situation happened. =_= honto ni wa gomenasai *bows*

Well, hope you still gonna enjoy it.

Go read it then..

Zero already take shower on his hotel room that was sponsored by the Association and wear clean white T-shirt, a pair of pale blue jeans and grey jacket. So simple but he's good looking is over that of the most beautiful human in the world so he look great in any clothings. He done combing his hairs after satisfied with it, he want to look good to his pureblood friend. Then he looked on the reflection of himself from head to toes in the mirror, anyone else will be mesmerised by his look. He wonder if Kaname will like to his apperance tonight. Then, he blushed a little, damn, this is not a date, stupid me, he thought. He runs his fingers on his hairs, messing it so he looked kinda bad boys on the street, but still handsomely cool. He started his bike, went out of smaller road and speed up to the fullest.

On his way to the bars, Zero thought of Kaname. It's been awhile since they have a drinks together. Well, they were busy with their on life, Kaname with his business and the council, while Zero with his hunting missions of course. He's already the best hunter but the current president also his so-called father and he's mentor keep on bugging him to take on high rate level missions. So to build him up into the next Hunter's president and to show his power against their fellow hunters. He remembered Kaname's called this afternoon, he realised the saddened voice of him, he knows Kaname better as he always watching over him, he knows if something was going on with the pureblood king, but he never seems to ask him, he just keep quiet about it. He don't want to mention or remind him of the past, don't want to see the sadness in his eyes even though Kaname often hides it with his angelic smiles.

Zero arrived not too late as he expected. The bar was almost full on the left sides where the tables are suited for a group of people, while on the right side is for a couple to three persons. He spotted Kaname sitting alone on the right backward where there's more quiet than the other part of the bar. Zero can see that Kaname has started drink. His hand holding the glass but his eyes staring into an empty space, like he was thinking very deeply. His face mightshowing it but his eyes was. Yes, there's something going on with the pureblood, Zero thought.

Zero approached Kaname casually supressing the urge to run towards him. Oh, how he missed him a lot.

He don't even noticed that Zero has arrived, he should had sense him but Kaname was lost in his thought, his pain, his past memories and his dreams. Right now his mind is playing one of his memories where he and Allen chatting late at night on their laptop. Their conversation were from about nothing to some hearty topic sometimes. That night when they exchanged their words of loyalty, promising not to leave and betrayed each other. Loving forever and always. Their relationship might be young but love was real eventhough it was short. Allen is no longer here, never again by his side. Tsk...His heart ached all over again, then he kinda heard his name being called.

"Kaname." Zero called happily, waiting for Kaname responses but nothing. "Hey, Kaname" he tried again and failed. He frowned a bit, taking the opposite seat of Kaname, now facing straightly to him. Zero waved his palm in front of Kaname's face. "Yo, Kaname, earth to, Kaname..." Kaname blinked and startled. "Oh, you're here. Gomme, i don't noticed you coming" he said and smiled his angelic smiles. How Zero loves it so much to see his smile again. His heart fluttered and oh, his falling for him again. "Tch, what are you thinking about?" he asked but not necessarily needed an answer. "Just a couple of things" Kaname mumbled. "How was your mission?" He quickly added so that Zero will not pursued any more.

Zero realised this. But he also don't want to push it right now. They were just meet. He can ask about it later. If Kaname don't want to talk it he will not force it. Friends do not keep secret with each other. However friends also do not dig up their secret. Zero will just go with the flow for now. "As hectic as always with all the level Es lurking around here and there. Somehow they got intelligence tactics to lure their victims and attack but I managed to done it cleanly." The level Es might get better at their disgustful activity, but Zero is a full-fledge hunter and a skilled one. He always acomplished his job greatly. He may got injuries in his hunts but he is also a vampire so he can healed at faster rate, well, thanks to Kaname's pure-blooded running in his veins. "I am glad that you're doing very well. Kaien will be proud of you now and one day when you take up his position." Kaname said. "Tch, not you also, I have enough with Kaien and Yagari reminding me of that. I don't really want to be the hunter's president." Zero muttered. Kaname chuckles " why not? You're the brave and best hunter I had ever seen." Zero blushed a bit at Kaname's compliment. " I know I'm doing great but it's just troblesomes." he pouted. "enough about my works. How about yours, Kaname?" Kaname told him about how his business also doing fines as always.

They talked, talked and talked about many things after that. They even ordered for more bottles of drinks. Zero finds that Kaname had ordered a strong flavour one for himself as if he need to be drunk as soon as possible. He might not show it but Zero could feels how Kaname's heart waver for a while now. Zero thinks he might just ask what really happens now that kaname look so messed up as he can see not by eyes but his heart. "Kaname..." he tried to get his friend's attention. "hmm?" Kaname just hummed. Zero continued "How are you lately? Is there anything more that you need to say, I'll listen to you if you want to."

"I had a dream..." Kaname started. "What dream?" Zero looked straight into Kaname's garnet eyes. That beautiful yet saddened eyes tells him as if he can read Kaname's mind, 'ah, that dream again.' he thought as he remembered whenever this dreams occured he will find Kaname in this kind of state. He knew it already, but he just let Kaname continued his story. Kaname told Zero about his dream and how he felt eventhough there's no right word to really described how he felt at the moment.

Things might look rushed in their relationship but at that once time Allen and him had fallen in loved with each other. Love was true at that time. But now everthing is just so sad.

He love him so much..

In summer rain and in autumn pain..

He tried to hate him..

But he missed him instead..

Torn between hate and missed..

So he cry in pain..

Kaname was almost drunk by now. Zero decided it was enough for the night. They get up and Kaname swayed a bit, so Zero helped holding him and walked steadily. They got out of the bars and saw Seiren already waiting with the car. Zero was thankful at her flawless as a servant to her master. She is as efficient as ever, no less and no more. Zero helped put Kaname inside the car and he almost get out, when he felt something tugging his jacket. He looked at it and found out that it was Kaname's. "Stay with me any more longer." Kaname said with his eyes half closed. Zero's heart melts more and he smiled. Actually he finds it cute how kaname might be clingy when he's drunk.

"Seiren, let's just go to my apartment. I want to get him to rest sooner." Zero's aparment is closer from the bar than Kaname's villa. Seiren has no objection in this, as she knows they occasionally sleep overs from each other home. And she also want to let her lord a night rest. "Yes, I think that's the best, Kiryuu-kun"

Zero put Kaname on his bed. He's fast asleep as soon as Zero covered him with a light blanket. There's a single teardrop on the right corner of Kaname's eyes. How Zero wish to just kiss to wipe it away but he used his finger instead. He sit at edge of bed and looking down to his precious. Zero may love him in a romance way that he keep his feeling to himself but never once take any chances to cross the friend's boundary in Kaname's weakened moment. Just to let Kaname felt comfortable in every time as his only friend he can opened up and talked about anything. It hurts him also to see Kaname had suffered from the lost like this. Kaname might live normally around other people but he never moved on since then.

Oh Kaname..

how I wish to take away your pain..

and how I also wish to give you happiness..

Zero bent down a bit to reach and kissed his forehead. "Sleep well.." '..love' he added in his mind as he whispered and then slowly went out of his room to sleep on the couch in his living room.
