Moonstar: ARGHHH! You're taking away my sanity!
Zero was half asleep when the delicious smell of pancakes wafted into the room. He had a flash back, remembering the times his twin would enter into his room bringing him his latest attempt at cooking the soft meal. Zero would have to drizzle it in syrup and force it down his throat every time but the smile plastered on the younger one's face would always make these brunches welcome. His parents would help Ichiru make them sometimes and he could recall the family sitting around the table every other Sunday to enjoy each other's company while chewing on a hefty serving. The sleeping vampire cracked his eyes open to look at the pureblood in front of him holding a large tray of delectable fruits and …pancakes!
Kaname looked at him sheepishly. "I don't eat very often. I usually drink my blood tablets but I was told that you might enjoy some food. I'm sorry I actually forgot about a human's needing real food."
Zero sat up leaning his head on the bedpost behind him the inclusion of food had made him momentarily forget his slave-like persona, as well as the events from the night before. Kaname placed the silver tray on his lap. Then he turned and began walking back towards the door. Zero was unsure about how he should react so he stayed perfectly still as his master talked.
"I'm going to go get you your blood."
Kaname began walking down the hallway catching a maid with a mug in her hands. He took it from her smiling politely.
"Um… Mister Kaname-san…" He turned to the timid voice. "I was wondering if you have found another housekeeper yet. We are very short handed since the other had to go home due to a family emergency."
He nodded at her. "I will begin looking through the resumes you submitted to me. I am very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you."
She smiled brightly before skipping off; he watched her hop down the hall. All and all, Kaname was in a good mood. He had woken up with the silver haired boy in his arms a small smile placed on the younger's face. Now, he would have Zero all to himself for the whole day. Other than being lectured by his butler about not feeding the poor boy, this morning only seemed to be getting better.
He walked towards the room looking around the hall to see if any servants were present before indulging himself in a small skip as well and chuckling at his cheerful mood. Unfortunately this mood did not last, when he walked into the room he noticed Zero bowing on the floor by his bed the food untouched. He hoped Zero had learned by now that he was there to comfort and help him not enforce the rules of his old master. He had thought they had gone a step forward in the right direction but here Zero was… Kaname pushed his anger down walking towards the platter. He lay on the bed in front of Zero leaning his head on his elbow. A teasing thought entering his mind and he couldn't help by comply. Taking the fork with his other hand he picked up a strawberry. He put his foot underneath Zero chin, noticing the flinch but ignoring it, as he raised Zero's head to meet his eyes. All the while Kaname kept his foot there so Zero would not be able to look away.
He smiled and popped the fruit into his lips. He heard the younger vampire's stomach growl and picked up a piece of pancake dipping it in syrup before pushing it past his lips. Moaning slightly at the sticky meal, Kaname savored the bite knowing the reaction it bring from his slave. He noticed Zero's eyes narrow a bit, in anger? He wasn't sure but he knew it was not intentional. It was Zero's true feelings unwillingly showing through his expressions and the pureblood felt proud of the younger for still being able to have such an emotion even through all of his suffering.
Zero caught himself. "Master Aidou punished me for looking at him this way before I have to be more careful. How could I glare at my new master? He will surely be angered by my actions if I do not straighten up and start acting properly. He is a pureblood and therefore deserves the upmost respect." Zero lectured himself letting his glare fall and calming the hardened features. "Thank goodness Kuran-sama didn't notice."
Kaname did… he noticed Zero's anger drop from his face and a frown began to grow on his own as Zero looked at him respectfully. His stare was dead and almost looking past the other not truly meeting the higher ranking vampire's own eyes. However, he also noticed the lifeless violet gaze flickering towards the tray and could tell Zero's true wants. He picked up a grape next and placed it between his lips taking it off the fork but not eating it. He lowered his mouth towards Zero and pushed the grape against his lips. Zero opened his mouth slightly in surprise by Kaname's sudden closeness. Allowing the pureblood to push the grape through his lips, all the while, leaving a soft kiss against the other's tender lips. A shock of lightning seemed to flow from the area and radiate through their bodies leaving them slightly breathless from such a gentle gesture before he fully pulled away.
He shot Zero a teasing look shaking the winded feeling away before focusing on his former plan. "You hungry yet?"
Zero's face flushed slightly embarrassed by his master's methods, but also reminding him of the kiss they had shared the night before. He had been trying to push it out of his mind. He didn't want to see his master in that way especially if he was going to turn on him soon. But the tingling feeling on his lips would not let him forget and every glimpse of his master's eyes would bring a flutter to his heart.
Zero recovered from his shock pushing the memories out of his mind once again and savoring the aftertaste of the grape. Zero shook his head. Slaves were not supposed to eat. Only when they were told to by their master could they eat. Kaname had not TOLD him, just offered.
"Are you hungry Zero?" Kaname questioned again looking directing into violet eyes.
Zero once again shook his head; he didn't want to let his master know about his near starving state for fear of punishment. Food was simply a means for survival and he did not need a meal yet. The gesture made the man in front of him frown.
"Are you lying to me?"
Zero paused. He was unsure of how to reply. "Should I lie? I already lied about this whole situation I can't go back on it now."
He slowly shook his head 'no' once again; his motion was unsure and hesitant.
"Tell me you are not lying then. With your words Zero, please. I want to see you speak those words to my face." Kaname allowed his head to get closer to Zero's once more. "You see I don't like liars."
Zero instantly regretted lying he knew his master knew about that sinful act he had just committed and feared the sentence he would get.
"I-I'm sorry M-m-master."
"What are you sorry for?" Kaname raised his eyebrow with an innocent expression on his face, he had inwardly flinched at the last word spoken by his silver pet but didn't comment. "That issue would have to be fixed at a later time."
"L-lying… Master." Zero spoke with his usual stutter but his voice was calm, contradicting the inner turmoil he was feeling about having to look his master in his eyes as he spoke. Zero hated that Kaname was forcing him to speak like this. It was humiliating because of his lie; but it was also nerve-wracking because he was forced to see Kaname's ever calm expression having to pray every moment that it wouldn't turn violent. He felt as if he did not deserve to be looking into the deep caring eyes and kind expression.
Kaname patted the bed beside him removing his foot so Zero could allow his head to fall once again. Earning a relaxed sigh from the younger as he got on the bed as well.
"Now will I have to spoon feed you or will you be able to do this on your own." Kaname said before taking another strawberry and placing it near his lips, indicating exactly how he would be feeding the other teen.
Zero was unsure if he was supposed to allow his master to feed him or eat on his own. "This man is so complicated. He's always giving me choices. I wish he would just tell me what he wanted, I'm racking my brain ever five seconds second-guessing my ever move. Will he think that feeding me is too much of a hassle? I don't want him to think I'm aggravating."
Zero picked up the second fork extracting a strawberry, as well from the large decorated platter and putting it unsurely to his mouth. Kaname smiled at him reassuringly pushing the rest of his strawberry inside of his own mouth and munching on it happily, urging the other to do the same.
Zero felt the delicious juice overcome his senses. "I haven't eaten strawberries in years. When Aidou usually did feed me the food was usually some sort of mashed together slop that he probably made himself, since he didn't really need to invest in a cook… It would not be appetizing at all… but this. The food smells magnificent as if the meal was made for a king. Someone like me should not be having a breakfast so satisfying. And Kaname is even eating from the same plate as me this whole situation is unacceptable." He stared at the pureblood who was happily chewing away.
Kaname suddenly looked up noticing Zero's look.
He sighed misunderstanding the reason behind Zeros uncertainty, he figured Zero just needed permission. He didn't want to give the teen an order though; he wanted to teach Zero to decide things for himself, but questioning the boy if he was hungry before every bite he took was silly.
"Please Zero." He was begging the teen, ready to go on his hands and knees himself if Zero refused. "Please just eat until you are full. This plate was made and brought for you. You wouldn't want your master's food to go to waste would you?" He hated having to use the word master, but he figured Zero would react to it more realizing that he would be denying the hidden order behind his words.
Zero looked stunned, "I am what master is wasting his food on. But instead of throwing it away he is lowering himself to begging with me… a slave. I can't allow this kind owner to be brought to that extent."
Zero tentatively looked at his plate with a determined expression and began to consume the food before him. He looked at his master under his eyelashes and saw a bright smile on the man's face; his cautious actions beginning to fall away, as he became more comfortable.
He popped a piece of pancake in his mouth first… the syrup dripping down the corner of his lips and a pink tongue flicked out to catch the fallen caramel coloured sweet. Kaname was surprised how every moment; no matter how innocent it was, made him want to jump the slave. Zero's soft tongue ran across his lips in sensual looking way forcing the pureblood to suppress a moan. He occupied himself by looking away from Zero, the display too much for him to take.
Zero didn't know how he managed it, but, in what he felt was only minute, he had managed to wolf almost the whole platter down. His stomach was now contently full. A maid instantly came into the room when he was done and took left over's. He had realized that he had barley left any of the meal for Kaname and looked at his master too see his angered expression. But, of course, seeing none. It never stopped astonishing him that the pureblood never seemed to get angered by his selfish actions.
"I am s-sor-ry I was so g-g-greedy m-master."
"Don't be silly." Kaname shook his head pulling the silver haired boy close. "That meal was entirely for you, you were supposed to eat it all… it wasn't greedy of you to do what you were meant to."
Kaname placed a soft kiss on his forehead. The pureblood didn't fail to detect that Zero didn't pull back but instead stayed very still. His actions almost statue like as his body tensed. He tried massaging Zero's shoulders to get him to relax. When Zero was sleepy he was much more willing and calm Kaname couldn't understand how he could revert back so suddenly.
"Is there anything you would like to do today Zero?" He knew Zero wouldn't answer but it can't be all that bad to ask. The expected silence followed, "Hmm… I heard there was a fair. We could go late tonight and go on some rides. Of course we will have to cover up that tattoo so nobody will notice you are a slave." He looked down at Zero. "That will mean that you can't act like a slave either or people will notice." Kaname thought this plan was perfect. "For Zero to make me happy and go to this fair he will have to act more normal. No three steps behind me thing. It will be a perfect push in the right direction." He forced the boy to look at him once again. "I would really like to go Zero do you think you can act like a normal person for a night?"
"Yes m-master. I w-will do anything you w-w-wish."
"Good boy," Kaname said hopping off the bed and grabbing the forgotten mug. "Drink this."
Zero looked at the dark red contents that were handed to him. The smell of real blood entered his senses. "No I can't drink this. A slave is only allowed to have real blood if it is absolutely necessary. Kaname doesn't even drink real blood I cannot accept this."
Kaname became inpatient with the unmoving hands. "That was a command Zero. You should respect your master and follow through with what I say."
Zero heard the anger evident in Kaname's voice and began sipping at the delicious material.
Kaname moved towards the boy and began examining his body. He wanted to make sure the scars were healing. He knew that Zero would need a lot more blood before the evidence of Hanabusa was gone but at least every memory the noble made on the slaves pale skin were healable…
Zero was unsure of the reason why Kaname was examining him. "Maybe he doesn't like my body." Fear ran through him. "He is trying to make me eat more and take away my scars because he doesn't want someone so thin or to have reminders of Aidou. If he takes me… I will accept all of his advancements. Not only is he my master, but he has been kind. Even if he turns violent, I will be happy with this master and these few days of care he has given me."
Zero stayed perfectly still waiting for his master to finish his assessment so he could move the cup to his lips without fear of disturbing the inspection. He wondered what he should do. His body may not be perfect, yet, but he knew his master still wanted him. The evidence was apparent form the erection he had seen when his master had bathed him. He was a sex slave and he knew they were supposed to act more sexual. Did his master want someone more outspoken to be his lover? He knew his timid persona dominated all others, but Kaname was trying to make him act more normal. "Should I be more forward? Are these his intentions? To make me act more sexual more like a proper slave would?"
Kaname looked up. His eyebrows furrowed at Zero freezing him in fear. They stayed that way for a few moments until violet eyes opened with recognition. He was disobeying a direct order. The only one he could recall Kaname giving him so far. He instantly gulped down the rest of the drink seeing the pureblood's features relax as he resumed his previous task.
The experience was surprisingly relaxing for Zero. His master would allow his fingertips to gently brush across skin barley touching the sensitive scars and sending small waves of pleasure throughout his body. Kneading the less tortured areas, Kaname was pleasured to see on the delicate skin. Zero allowed his eyes to close, he was still tired, but he would never tell Kaname that. Some clicking noises began to get louder but he ignored it due to the satisfaction he was feeling.
The clicking stopped close to the door, as did Kaname's hands as he turned to look, raising his body preparing himself for the onslaught he knew was to come. Zero was not as lucky. He was confused by Kaname's abrupt stop and his hazed mind had not begun to contemplate his random actions.
Suddenly the door flung open and the clicking of high heels could be clearly heard as a woman entered the room. Her gray hair contradicted her beautiful features and she held herself which high dignity and fearlessness. Zero tensed lowering his head until it was almost level with his knees. He was alarmed by the powerful woman standing before him. Her aura was deadly; her pale gray dress whipped around her body as if she was caught in the middle of a large gust of wind. He wanted desperately to climb off the bed and get into his normal pose, but the intrusion of the woman had frightened him greatly. He feared any sort of movement would alert her of his presence and he didn't want her anger to be directed towards him. He worried for his master's sake though, recalling how he had acted in the mall and how he told him it was because he needed to keep other vampires respect intact for the sake of his family. "Having a slave on your bed is not what one would call appropriate slave and master behaviour. Well… unless of course I was pleasuring master; but he still has all of his clothing on, and he would not lie even if it is to save himself I'm sure. He did say he hated liars. However if I move now it could also allow her to see I was once on the bed and that could get Master in trouble as well." He began to shake frightened by the new presence and unsure of what to do with himself being caught in such a situation.
The warm hand of his Master pressed against his shoulder calming him.
"Yes Ruka, whatever is the matter?" He spoke to the fuming woman in such a peaceful manner one would never know he was speaking to a person on the verge of killing him. The calm act pushing her over the edge as she screamed at him.
"YOU! You're leaving me?! How could you! We were going to get married in only two weeks!"
"I have no intention in getting into a loveless marriage."
"Argh! We are purebloods! We have to marry… to complete our bloodline and keep our families name's strong."
"Yes, my parents will be quite disappointed, but I have to refuse." Kaname's eyes looked towards the floor as if he was truly sorry, but his voice was monotone and uncaring. Zero had never heard his master's voice at such an octave and wondered what this woman had done to deserve such a drawled out tone. "It certainly must have been pretty bad since even everything I have done; I have never once earned such an uncaring voice to be used towards me." His heart swelled slightly in pride because of that fact. Kaname continued, "I cannot marry you Ruka. I cannot bring myself to love you as you love me."
Her eyes dropped as he said those words her face turning solemn as she whispered, "Please, you could learn to love me. I cannot be that unappetizing to you… I can learn to pleasure you satisfy all your needs. You must understand I love you Kaname." She looked up at him a tear running down her face and he left Zero going to her side.
"I know." He wiped away a tear. "Do you not think you deserve better though? Someone who will love you right from the start?" He gently began nudging her out the door and away from the slave.
It was then she noticed him. She pointed to the boy instantly recognizing the symbolism of the tattoo.
"THIS! THIS IS WHY!? This … THING… is the reason why you won't marry me!?" Her anger began to rage once more and Kaname sighed wanting his ex fiancé to leave.
"ZERO!" He emphasized the name raising an eyebrow in frustration to show that he was no longer going to comfort her. "Has nothing to do with this. I canceled the engagement before I found him."
"Then why is he in your bed, or even in your room. I know you treat slaves nicer than most Kaname but you always have them in separate rooms and they are cared for by your butler. Not you."
"I have decided that I would personally help this one. He needed a bit more extra attention than most and I figured I could take the challenge. Please stop trying to see things that do not exist in an attempt to find some explanation that isn't there." He knew he was being harsh, but he was still unsure of how Zero would react to knowing he had feelings for him and didn't want to frighten the poor boy more. He was sure Ruka was not helping but making the situation more confusing for him and just wanted her out the door.
Zero had stayed perfectly still through the conversation only dropping to the floor when Ruka had pointed him out. He listened intently to what was being said. "If Kaname is straight then maybe he has no intention of having any sexual relations with me. Or what if it's like Ruka said and he doesn't want to marry her because of me." Kaname's words echoed in his mind. "'Please stop trying to see things that do not exist' " Zeros heart hurt by the sound of those words. "Does that mean the things I saw in Kaname, the little acts of comfort that could someday turn into more is just a result of my imagination? My own inner self thought that more could happen is simply wishful thinking?" He was confused but only bowed his head towards the ground as his master lead Ruka out the door, their conversation turning into a light muffle of sounds in Zero's ears as they began to walk further away.
Kaname returned to the room a few minutes later, sighing. He would now have to speak to Ruka's family. They wanted to question him about the circumstances contributing to his sudden change of heart concerning the marriage. He was disappointed about his day being ruined. He hadn't had time to get to know the boy yet and now that opportunity was ruined due to this new inconvenience. "And I did extra work yesterday just so I could be sure to be free…"He looked at Zero's posture but had no time to comment on it and criticize him for it as he grabbed his jacket.
"I'm sorry Zero our day together will have to be cut short. I will be back later tonight to pick you up for the fair so don't forget to get dressed in something that will cover your neck, maybe a hoody will do… You won't be wearing a collar so you have to make sure it cannot be seen. It ought to be dark though so we should be alright."
"Yes master as y-you w-w-wish"
Kaname was fixing himself in the mirror to make himself look appropriate. He looked through the mirror over his shoulder noticing that Zero had moved so his body was facing him but his head was lowered and his back arched in a painful manner. He sighed.
"Stand up straight. Our butler will be coming in soon so become well acquainted with him. He is a good man."
He noticed Zero's body stopped hunching as he rose and stood correctly his head still lowered. His eyes down cast so he could only see his feet.
He moved from the mirror adjusting his tie as he walked past the boy; ruffling the silver strands gently ignoring the common flinch he was becoming used to. He sometimes couldn't help but make sudden movements, no matter how hard he would try. "Have fun." Were his last words as he walked out the door.
The butler walked in a few minutes later. Zero was still in the position Kaname had left him. He was ashamed of being caught on Kaname's bed. He was sad the woman caught him there and assumed he was the reason for their breakup because it had caused trouble for Kaname. But he couldn't help but replay Kaname's words in his head. "I am just a challenge. He doesn't want me for anything other than that." The more he went over the words the more it hurt. "The kiss, the brown eyes that had saved me from my nightmares, that was all in my imagination, I was seeing more to the kiss then there really was; Using it as an excuse to make me feel loved…" He felt his heart drop down to his stomach and began to churn at those words. He didn't understand why, or maybe he didn't want to accept the reasoning as to why, but before he could analyze anything further the butler's arms surrounded him.
"HELLO! Welcome to the Kuran family home."
Zero flinched and instantly tried to move away from the booming voice. The butler knew this would happen but he couldn't help himself, "Master Kuran-sama didn't lie this Zero boy is just so cute!"
"My name is Kaien Cross, but you can call me daddy." He winked at the boy. "Only special people get to." He pulled out a hard cover note pad and opened it looking at the things he had written. "There is a shortage in maids; you could always help out with the extra work. Or you could spend the day with me helping me…"
He paused. Zero was unsure if he should reply. Thankfully, Cross did that for him.
"What did Kaname tell you to do?"
"H-he told m-m-me to go with y-you, Sir."
"Sir? Whatever happened to daddy?" Zero kept his eyes to the floor and said nothing. He had a real father, how dare this strange man try to take his respect and name away from the deceased one.
"Well, then you will be with me today. Come along, now. We have to open up the room in the foyer and set it for the new maid Kuran-sama should be getting soon."
He led the teen towards one of the smaller room in the estate. Paintings littered the halls showing some of the most beautiful artwork Cross had ever seen and Zero wouldn't even glance at… at least at the moment. Cross looked pitifully at the teen behind him, Zero's actions allowing him to recal a past he would much rather forget. The boy's down casted eyes wouldn't allow him to glace at such beauty surrounding them, but he knew one day when the slave regained his courage he would be able to gaze at these walls a free man in his own right.
They walked into the room, brightened by the large windows drawing the light inside. As they moved about the room cleaning and setting things, Cross continued to order Zero telling him exactly what he wanted done. Cross didn't force him to make any decisions, but simply told him what to do with a gentle smile on his face. Zero could tell he had probably taken care of most of the slaves in the household. He had the strength and dignity in him to be a master, but he also knew what hurt slaves needed; kindness and order. Something his current master refused to provide. Zero sighed at how difficult it could be with him. Cross spoke as if he could read his mind.
"Kuran doesn't order you around like this does he?" Zero hesitated before deciding that even if he said yes it would not be an insult towards his master. He nodded, and Cross sighed.
"I figured. I told him he should, but he wants to allow you to make your own decisions right off the bat. He doesn't want you to feel like he's bossy or like he is going to hit you if you refuse his orders. I told him that when a slave first comes into a new home orders make them feel relaxed because it is what they were taught for so many years to do. The familiarity of it all is what is necessary." His head was raised and he seemed as if he was speaking more to himself than to Zero. He moved and sat on a chair at a small table in the room. Patting the other to indicate he wanted Zero to join him. When Zero sat down he continued.
"He doesn't understand he has never been a slave. But don't worry he is a good man and will put all his attention into making you feel more comfortable…even if he drives you crazy along the way. Do you understand this?" He stared at Zero waiting for some sort of reply from the down cast figure.
"Yes M-Master Cross-s-s-sama."
"You shouldn't call me a Master. I am a slave just like you." Zero's eyes shot up slightly at those words. "It couldn't be true. This man acts nothing like a slave should!"
"I wasn't tortured as badly as you. But I had the same basic actions implanted in my mind. Out of habit I still would rather sleep on the floor." He laughed jokingly scratching the back of his head as if he was slightly embarrassed by his confession.
"Would you like me to show you?" he continued. When Zero said nothing he began to pull up his sleeves and yank down his turtle neck. A replica of Zero's tattoo was unmistakable on his throat and his arms were littered with scars his writs looked almost like they had been cut to the bone due to scaring from handcuffs. "I'm not a vampire so they will stay with me for life." His voice sounded very somber. "However, finally getting to this place, this was like heaven for me. Free from pain and with people who understand and try to help." He lowered his head locking eyes with Zero. "You will be like me eventually too. You don't have to worry so much about punishment because they almost never come, and when they do they are not painful. But most importantly don't treat me like a master. I'm exactly like you."
Zero nodded his head, understanding. It comforted him to know that if this man could change so drastically then maybe there was hope for him. Zero finally began taking the situation seriously and not seeing it as a cruel joke he needed to survive. In this other slave showing him his scars and sharing a bit of himself it allowed him to feel more at ease with his surroundings. He decided he would start trying to act less afraid since this man had told him there was nothing to be fearful of. A slave would never go against his fellow slave.
"Well then we should go, and you should talk more. It will help with the stuttering."
"Y-yes Cross-sama." Zero said instantly complying.
Cross pouted. "Why won't you call me daddy??"
The day was busy. Cross had a lot of duties but in the end Zero found himself in his master's room alone. Cross had force him to eat some soup and now he was looking through his clothing for something that would hid his face and neck from prying eyes. He pulled out a pair of blue baggy jeans a tight turtleneck and a black hoody. Cross had told him it would be a cool night so to dress warmly. Pulling on his hood he admired himself for a moment. Aidou had kept his body in shape at lease. The turtleneck was tight enough to show off his muscular body but not too tight that it would make him seem feminine. He pulled the hood over his head effectively covering up the odd colour of hair. Just as Kaname walked in, Zero dropped to the floor bowing to his master.
"Stand up." Kaname said quickly hopping towards his own closet while removing his clothing.
Zero couldn't help a glimpse at his master's body from below his bangs as he complied. His master undressed and Zero smiled slightly at how distractedly rushed he looked before letting his gaze fall. The weird feeling of his upturned mouth making him wonder when was the last time he smiled. He listened as his master sighed agitatedly.
"That took much longer then what I thought it would. Can't they just get over it and find her someone else already?"
Zero said nothing. As Kaname stopped right in front of him. His tight black jeans were slightly loose at the waist and his shirt held carelessly crumpled in his hand. He put his finger under Zero's chin to raise his head looking into eyes that were looking past him.
"You look good." Zero said nothing, but he noticed his master's closeness and unclothed body beside his own. His breath hitching slightly when those words were spoken. His voice caught in his throat; as his eyes focused towards the pureblood on their own accord. His body was miraculous. So strong and enticing, his features were kind but held a dominating wistfulness. His face held a small smile although his features were sharp, fit for a king and designed to show his true princely persona.
Kaname moved away, pulled on his shirt, and grabbed a sweater from the closet. He was dressed in a causal outfit but the way he held himself made it seem that even if he wore rages he would still look like a prince.
As soon as he let Zero go the head fell to his chest and he paused once again in his scurrying movements.
"You shouldn't look down all the time. You might bump into something or get lost," He commented gently noticing Zero raise his head slightly but not enough to see much more then past Kaname's stomach. He sighed again as he pushed Zero out the door grabbing his keys. Zero stumbling slightly and feeling nervous about being in front of his master.
"I'll be driving so you should put on your seatbelt." He said with little confidence. "I don't want to bring too much attention to us by bringing a limo, but be warned I'm an awful driver."
Well I hope you liked it. I'm planning on the next chapter to be super cute... so tell me whatcha think.
Today I am going to put a little blurb up (because I think it's so cute) of why, it took me so long to write this chapter in case you guys are wondering. My baby cousin who is 22 months old came to visit me from Portugal.
Of course I'm talking in Portuguese when I say this and I'm lying on the floor in my bedroom:
Rafael: IMA IMA IMA (Prima means cousin but because he's a baby he says it like Ima. I'm pretty sure he's capable of saying the whole word he just chooses not to)
Roulette: Rafael Ima… I mean PRima is busy writing a story right now I'll play with you later.
Rafael: ooo **looks at computer and stares at me typing for 5 seconds** **SMASHES HANDS on computer keys.**
Program closes
Roulette: **look of shock on face** I didn't save that… ** puts fingers on head trying to fight off headache**
Rafael: **Laughs hysterically!**
Roulette: **Looks at baby** oh your pure evil aren't you?
Rafael: ssssim (means yes)
Roulette: **Sighs and reaches over to grab glass before trying to re-type what was lost, before hearing little stomping noises and extreme giggling**
Rafael: **runs away with MY laptop!** MEUUUUU MEU MEU MEU! ( meu means mine)
Roulette: ** runs after brat** Hey! Don't be doing that! That's Prima's!!
Rafael: E meu ima! e meu! (e means is)
Roulette: **takes laptop away and puts it on dresser** Alright you won me over lets go play no more writing for Prima.
Rafael: **Smiles and hugs Roulette** Ima e meu!
He's SO CUTE!!! And evil … but mostly cute. So I couldn't write until he left he kept stealing the laptop and his can barley carry it so it more like he's dragging it on the ground. I feared for my laptops safety.
