Disclaimer : I do not own Vampire Knight.

Takuma laughed into a sweet kiss Senri and he currently sharing. The redhead straddling his hips as he leaning down, their chests touched and he impatiently kissing the older man deeper. The blonde laughed some more, placing his hands on both sides of Senri's naked hips.

He just returned back from work around 1 am where a certain redhead coming out from their master bedroom, wearing nothing but Takuma's white button up shirt, which is extra large for him. And yes, no pants. The adrenaline got the best of them and in a second, Takuma found himself being pinned down on their bed by his smaller companion.

"Impatient tonight, aren't we?" the smiling blonde whispered once they pulled away from the passionate kiss, Senri's blue eyes darkened with lust as he leaned down again for another mind blowing kiss.

But the action was never accomplished.

A ring of the doorbell surprised both of them as Senri let out an uncharacteristic whine. Takuma smiled an apology before carefully lifted the redhead from his lap and kissed his temple.

"Stay here, I'll answer the door."

Senri watched as his lover approached the door and opened it just to reveal a brunette standing in front of it.

Kaname sighed as he pressed the doorbell. He knows this was ridiculous but he had called the blonde and Takuma did not answer. Of course he knows his best friend have not slept yet. Kaname took off about 5 minutes after the blonde did.

When the door was opened, an unexpected sight meets his eyes. Takuma's blonde hair was in mess, his shirt was not tucking in and few buttons are undone. Raising an eyebrow, Kaname pushed a red file on the blonde's chest.

"You forgot this. You'll need it tomorrow for the meeting at Harbour View." Kaname stated with an even tone. Takuma blinked his eyes as he hold onto the file.

"Umm… Thanks?" Seriously, he was not sure how to respond since the brunette could have sent someone else to give him the file and why was he soaking with water. The brunette just shrugged his shoulders and about to take his leave when Takuma called for him again.

"Wait, it is raining out there?"

Kaname stopped in his track and turned to look at the blonde.

"Yes, together with thunders and lighting. I parked my car quite far, that's why I'm wet… You didn't realize it? You guys must be into it like bunnies in heat." A tint of tease present in his voice even though his tired face saying otherwise.

Takuma blushed at the accusation but managed to give a small laugh to wave it off.

"Well, you are going home, right?"

At his question, all he received an almost hesitated face.

Kaname bite his lips and shook his head with a small smile.

"No. I'm returning back to the company."

Takuma stared at the older man for a moment. It had been around 2 weeks the brunette did not return to his house. He even looks thinner and there are bags under his eyes. Takuma looked slightly at his side when he realized Senri had approached him from the back. The redhead pressed a small kiss of mutual understanding behind his neck, unknown to the brunette that was still standing in the hallway.

"Kaname… do you want to stay overnight? You know… it feels good sometimes to just feel the sensation of being at home… even though it was someone else's house…" Takuma smiled as he wrapped his left arm around his lover's waist, pulling the redhead to stand by his side to show that none of them mind if he wanted to stay.

The brunette had his brown eyes widened as he stared at the couple. Senri gave a nod, a small smile barely exists on his lips but it was still there. The brunette's heart softened at the treatment he received and closed his eyes with his own, grateful smile.

"I'd love to."

Ichiru stared at the open window as he let the gentle wind of upcoming spring brush against his face. He gently plays with the blanket use to cover his legs while he was sitting on his wheelchair. Shizuka had came earlier, brought him a bowl of delicious chicken soup and they spent another conversation together.

The day that he had woken up from his coma, the tall blonde standing beside his bed had introduced himself as Akatsuki Kain and the beautiful woman beside him as Shizuka Hio. He learned that Ichiru Hio is his name… or as Kain had said, he'd rather be called as Ichiru Kiryuu but the explanation had been cut short when doctor and nurses had came in rush.

After a few days, he was discharged and Kain had brought him to a beautiful 3 storey house. He said it belongs to both of them.

He later learned that Shizuka is his mother but not by blood and the blonde, the kind, gentle and good looking Akatsuki Kain is his lover. His mind was still in progress of all those facts and he cannot seem to remember any of his memories before the accident.

An hour before, he learned from Shizuka that he was an adopted child, Shizuka had brought him to her house because she had always wanted a child but her fiancé had died before his adoption because of a deadly disease and she had never fall in love anymore since then.

He also learned that he was a student taking History as the major course. He had recently graduated and pausing from finding a job because his lover wanted him to get enough vacation first before starting on it.

Shizuka said that he loves children and sweets. He prefers staying at home than outdoor activities. He was more skilled in cooking and doing house chores than Shizuka herself and as she went on and on, Zero just watched her expression. Sometimes, laughter escaped her lips and sometimes she stopped for a moment just to look at him in the eyes, her beautiful pink Sakura coloured eyes are beautiful against his.

But Ichiru cannot comprehend all of these.

Shizuka said that maybe because he just awake and he cannot remember anything. So it should be normal to worry because he cannot seem to understand and thinking that all the things that Shizuka had said were completely truth.

It should be normal to have doubts within his mind and soul.

But why does when he look at his supposed lover, his heart did not react? Does it make sense that if he lost his memories, then his feelings towards some people will disappear too?

Gripping the blanket tighter, he did not realize it when the oak door was opened and the said man stepped inside. Kain watched as his lover seems to be fighting with inner self. He approached the silver haired man and kneeled in front of his wheelchair.

Ichiru was taken by surprise when those beautiful amber eyes met his. The older man smiled and cupped his cheeks.

"Is something wrong?" he gently asked and Ichiru feels his eyes watering at the soft gaze. He was hurting because those actions are just too wonderful but he cannot get a feeling towards it.

"I'm sorry… I can't seem to remember anything despite of everything that you and Shi-… Mother had told me." He lowered down his eyes to stare at his lap. A thumb moved to wipe away his tears at the end of his eyes and a soft kiss was given to his forehead.

"Don't worry, take your time. So, do you still have anything to say?" Kain smiled almost bitterly. It was hurt to see his lover in this kind of condition but neither of them had asked for it. Ichiru looked back at the man kneeling in front of him, biting his lips.

"Tell me… about one of the latest moments with me that you… love a lot." Ichiru murmured and Kain's smile widened.

"Well… that is a lot but… last few months, during the last day of last year."

Ichiru nodded his head, signaling the blonde to continue. Kain hold on both of his hands on his lap, leaning down to press a kiss on each of the back of his hands.

"I brought you to a theme park. There are a lot of people…"

Laughter echoes in his surrounding as he watched people all around him. There are some with their families, some with their friends and some with their lovers. They were enjoying their outing and he cannot help but smiled at the wonderful sight. The hand holding his was warm even though both were wearing gloves.

"There are food stalls,"

"Hey, buy me Chocolate Banana!" he raised his hand to one of the food stalls and the person next to him chuckled but his face was a blur and his voice was uneven.

"If you get too fat, maybe one day I'll have to roll you down on the street to get you moving."

He pushed the other man half-heartedly on his chest but the man just laughed.

"But baby, if you gotten so fat, I'll make sure to get myself fat too… so that we both can roll down the street like bowling ball! What a lovely game that we can play!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Ka-"

"…game stands…"

"Talking about game, what about I win you some stuff? Sometimes I need to show off my skill too."

"You're doing it for yourself if that is what the real intention for you to get me stuff by playing games."

"I'll let you show off that I'm yours, deal?"

He blushed by the tease and hit the taller man on his chest but two hands reached out to catch his wrists before he managed to do it. More laughter escaped his taller companion's lips.

"That's it! Your head is mine!"

"…a large Ferris Wheel…"

His eyes widened as the taller man pulled him into a stop in front of the Ferris Wheel, saying something but he cannot hear it. His voice was firm and serious but he cannot listen what he was saying. His voice was unclear and uneven.

When the man suddenly went to a half kneeling position in front of him, his eyes widened.

"…and I asked you to marry me but you kind of… rejected me but I still got a kiss- Ichiru?" Kain blinked in surprised when those lilac eyes watering again and tears started to fall. Kain leaned forward to wipe away those tears again but was taken back when Ichiru pulled him into a slow, tight hug.

"I remember, Akatsuki… I think I remember a bit… Thank you… Thank you…" the younger man whispered onto his left shoulder and a smile graced on the blonde's face as he gently pulled his lover closer to him.

"No… Thank you, Ichiru."

A month later.

Shizuka put her hands on her son's chest as Ichiru tried making his way out, on the way placing on his coat on his body.

"Where are you going?" the woman blinked her eyes and Ichiru turned to look at her, a confusion on his face.

"Buying things that you told me to buy?"

"Why don't you wait for the driver to pick you up?"

Ichiru smiled at her concern, leaning in to peck her on her cheek.

"Mother, I want to use bus and just… I don't know, enjoy the nice weather? If Akatsuki is around, he won't let me anyway. You will… right?" he put an emphasis on his last word, hoping that maybe his pleading was working when she seems to be in hesitancy.

"But you just healed from your leg injury, dear… what if something happen?" Shizuka bites her lips. Both of them remain standing in front of the large main door and Ichiru laughed a bit.

"I promise if suddenly I get dizzy or I feel slight pain in any part of my body, I will call you and let you know… and I promise to return home before Akatsuki did. How's that sound?"

Shizuka gave a sigh of defeat as Ichiru grinned in joy. He put his dark brown coat on and took his keys on the table. Shizuka just stand in front of the door, waving her hands and keep on shouting to the silver haired man to take care of himself and to call if something goes wrong.

Ichiru just smiled and wave his hand slightly to let her know that he got it.

"Congratulations, everyone. We just got an international contract with a company at Italy and I hope everyone will work their best in this contract so that all of us can get higher salary and more contracts in the future." Kaname smiled as he raised his glass. Everyone else follow his motion including Takuma, who cried out 'CHEERS!'. The sound of glasses clinking and happy laughter echoes the large private room that they had served for the party.

Kaname leaned back against his seat. His eyes were blurring and the throbbing pain in his head was back. He closed his eyes and tried to ignore his aching head but his action did not go unnoticed by his blonde friend.

"Kaname, are you okay?" Takuma asked as he took a seat beside the brunette. Kaname groaned and his hand reached out to hold onto a side of his head.

"I think I need fresh air… I think I'm out for a while…" the brunette let out a small sigh and stands up. Takuma watched as his friend disappearing behind the door but say nothing more.

Kaname walked through the hallway of the luxurious hotel, blinking his eyes few times, hoping that it can lessen the pain. It does but somehow, Kaname cannot helped but to reminiscent.

Who could have thought that it had been almost 2 months he didn't return home. He just comes sometimes to check on his mails for bills and such but he never enters it anymore. He told himself that after this he got this current contract; he will go back, clean up his penthouse – call up for cleaners, of course – and get start with a new life.

He thinks that he wanted to visit Zero's grave too. Bring him purple lilacs that he loves a lot and just to sit there, telling how his life had been once Zero had left him.

A small, sad smile appeared on his face as he made his way out of the building.

He closed his eyes as he titled his head up before revealing them again, to see the wide blue sky far above him. He smiled and took a deep breath. Yes, the pain had lessened much.

Looking around him, he smiled when he saw parents walking down the street with their child holding their hands in between, friends hanging out together and people rushing around – maybe they were late for work – and when a glimpse of silver hair caught his eyes, Kaname's breath stopped.

Standing in the middle of the crowd, waiting for green light for people to cross over the road, is a mirror image of his dead lover… or is he?

The silver haired man raised his head to look at the traffic light and Kaname swore his eyes are also lilacs in colour. He quickly broke into a run when the light turned green and crowd starting to cross.

He was now holding onto his faith. He needed to get a hold on man but the crowd is too much. He made his way almost forcefully, muttering apologizes many times to those he had pushed to get into his way but he never stopped.

The strands of silver flew slight when spring's breeze blowing them and both of them finally managed to cross the road safely. That was the time when the pain in his forehead started to attack again but Kaname did not stop.

He continues to chase for the person but the silver haired man just continued to walk without looking back. He wanted to scream 'ZERO!' as loud as he could but there was a lump in his throat. He wanted to run faster but his sight started to get blur and when the man stopped in front of a shop, he also stopped to take his breath.

His hands holding onto the rail beside him to support his body and his world was spinning around, around and around.

It was then the image of Zero, the person with the same face, same eyes and same everything turned to look at him.

Kaname feels his body weakening and the stranger's lilac eyes widened looking at him.

'Faith… where are you?'

His sight went black when the last strength he believes onto, betrayed him.

TBC.
