Chapter 2 : Frustration
_-*The previous night*-_
Kaname POV
Pacing up and down the length of his bedroom, he just couldn't get Zero out of his mind. He didn't know why the level-D had become of such interest to him lately and quite frankly; it was pissing him off. The constant lingering thoughts, expressions and words persistently plaguing his mind until no end...
On several occasions had he visited the hunter in his sleep and recently, he'd been going every night. As it happens, his 'visiting hours' you could call them, were drawing near. He skipped class. Everyone would expect him to show up but he hardly ever did, which was unusual even for him. He hoped no one would figure out what was up. Fortunately they'd have no nerve to ever question him about his disappearances, and if they did; there'd be no way in hell he'd tell them the truth. Whatever he said, they'd believe him anyway. Gullible fools. Not that he was complaining.
Feeling the sudden need for air, he opened the door to his balcony, and decided to take his leave. He jumped down landing gracefully on his feet.
Such a beautiful night. He thought as he looked up at the glowing silver moon and stars that lit up the darkened blue sky. The wind blew through his hair ever so softly. He marvelled at the feel of the cold air brushing his face and enveloping him in a calm embrace.
Sticking to the Shadows, he made his way to the sun dorms.
He was lucky Zero always kept his window slightly open, it was no effort what so ever for the pureblood to climb in and out of his room with no difficulty. Zero and Yuuki were alike in many of ways, that being one of them. He'd also visited her bedroom on several occasions, not while she was awake of course. But lately, he just hadn't felt the need. He sat there on one occasion staring at the serene expression on his sister's face, but couldn't help but feel that something had changed.
Something that shouldn't have. Something bad.
Zero wasn't sleeping yet, he noticed, as he looked over at the abandoned bed, when he heard the faint trickle of water. Turning his head to the direction of the noise, he saw light emitting from the slightly ajar door. He wasn't quite sure what came over him, but he had such the overpowering urge to steal a small peak at the unclothed Silverette. Immediately shaking the thought from his mind, he waited patiently in the shadows, until the prefect made his appearance.
Droplets of water dripped down the contours of his porcelain-like body slowly as if in a tempting manner. The only thing he wore was a lose towel that hung dangerously low at the waist. The little light shed from window shone on him and in that light, he looked that little more beautiful than normal... Beautiful? Did I just have that thought?Mentally shooting himself, he tried again as he shook the forbidden thoughts from his mind before they took over.
A small groan escaped the lips of Zero as he lazily walked to the bed and threw himself on it. His hands buried in his hair, he muffled a scream into the pillow. Followed by a barely audible murmur which sounded something along the lines of 'damn Kuran' He was thinking about me. Kaname was good at hiding his scent, but perhaps the prefect picked something up. I suppose that explains the foul mood recently... He rolled his eyes. It had been a while since he fed; he was probably on the brink of insanity. He had to get him alone. Now would be the perfect opportunity; but no, that way he would have to explain him sneaking into his room.
He watched over the prefect, remaining in the blackened corners of the room until sleep quickly came over him and he began to see the soft rise and fall of his chest. Emerging from the darkness, he approached the bed. Towering over him, he studied his face. A face once clouded over in despair and misery now looked ever so calm and tranquil. A small smile graced the level-D's lips as Kaname couldn't help but brush his fingers along his cheek lightly. He couldn't help the curve of his own lips in reply, as he heard him sigh and shuffle in his sleep.
Before the urge to kiss those forbidden lips came upon him, he vanished from the room. He needed a drink, and he needed to be alone with his thoughts.
As soon as possible.
Why did this have to happen? Why now? He questioned himself furiously as he took a seat in his sweet escape of a place. Drink in hand, he mentally argued with himself for what seemed like a whole hour. How can I betray Yuuki? How can I think about anyone else like that other than her? and a stupid falling level-D at that, what's gotten into me? The time was so close... So close now. Trying to keep his anger at bay he tried his hardest not to erupt his pureblood powers, refraining him from disturbing the so peaceful atmosphere.
Why do I even feel a speck of emotion for such a lowly level-D? The only emotion I should be feeling is hate and disgust. He scowled. Not realising the female bartender had approached him. She soon scurried away as soon as soon as she'd come, anyone could sense the bad vibes emitting from the infuriated brunette.
What was so special about him? He continued querying himself thoughts never deviating from Zero.
He's like me in so many ways... We're both miserable in some sense, we had a hard and daunting past. I can understand why he would hate me, but honestly, does he have to be so bold...? Kaname frowned. How can you have 'feelings' for someone you hate so deeply? It doesn't make sense.
Downing the last of his drink, he up and left in the blink of an eye.
He was a powerful pureblood. Skilled, and clever, but one thing that he did not have power over was the ability to love. While his mind was leading him down one path, his heart was taking him down another. He knew it was wrong, but why did something so forbidden feel so exhilarating? Is it the thought of having something, someone, you can't have? Is it all the sneaking around?
Why did it feel so right, when clearly it's all wrong, all so terribly wrong..?
That wasn't the only problem. He knew there was a chance that this would be none other than a one sided thing. There was no way in hell Zero would return such feelings he would perhaps refer to as 'sick'
He sighed and returned to the moon dorms.
_-*The Next Night*-_
(Continuation from chapter 1)
Zero POV
As Kaname turned and disappeared into the crowds of people Zero couldn't help but mentally go insane. He'd just accepted Kuran's offer. His enemy, what was he thinking? He hated his guts... Not to mention he hated that stupid drink, though it did make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. He just hoped that that was the drink, and not the purebloods presence... Before he could dwell on the thought, Kaname had already returned with their drinks in hand.
Instead of taking the seat opposite him like any normal person would, Kaname decided to take the space right beside him... Great. This wasn't particularly helping his current problem; he could only smell that delicious scent even more. Shifting uncomfortably he took his drink off Kaname and began sipping at it anxiously. It seemed to taste slightly different this time; a lot lighter; bearable. He side glanced at Kaname to see him gazing right back at him. A hue of light pink stained his cheeks at the expression. There was no hate in his eyes. What the hell? It was the alcohol, it must have be. He chanted mentally.
Averting his gaze, the silence began to get rather uncomfortable. Finally Kaname decided to break the ice.
"Feels good to get away from it all, doesn't it?" He spoke staring straight past Zero, his expression; vacant.
"Yeah it does" He replied ever so quietly, forgetting just for a moment who he was talking to. Perhaps the pureblood understood what it was like? No. Of course he didn't. He has everything he could ever want, and whatever he didn't have, he could get with a simple click of his fingers.
Zero could feel the heat rush to his cheek at the warm smile Kaname graced him with. Alcohol...Alcohol...Alcohol... he repeated mentally.
The brunette's expression suddenly turned serious.
"It's been a while since you've drunk any blood." Kaname stated matter-of-factly. The talk of blood made the red glow flicker in his eye. He had completely forgotten about that certain lust until the pureblood himself mentions it and having Kuran this close wasn't helping, and the fact that he inched closer only made it worse. He found himself becoming ever so slightly light-headed.
The alcohol was taking its toll.
Kaname POV
This wasn't like Kaname at all; he would normally make the boy beg for it, plead him, to the extent of him getting on his hands and knees. The thought of a submissive Zero was one of a turn on, he shuddered at the thought. But, offering it so willingly wasn't him. It just wasn't. So what was he doing?
He sat there with the first few buttons of his shirt undone. He could see that glow in his eye, the one that told him how badly he wanted it. He could see judging his expression that he was more shocked than anything. They hadn't even said two sentences to each other and he was already talking about blood. Idiot. He cursed himself. Not only was he desperate for the touch of the level-D, but he was making it practically plain obvious too.
Cupping Zero's cheek he guided him to the place he so much desired. He felt Zero hesitate for less than a few seconds before the demon possessed him once more. Zero didn't put up much of a fight, he must've been close to falling. He could feel the cheek he cupped grew hot as the fangs monstrously pierced his neck. He wasn't as sloppy as all the previous times though; he was slow and breathless as he sucked at that pulsating vain.
The pureblood had to stifle a moan when the tongue sucked and lapped up at his neck. So seductive. The breath that brushed his now wet skin sent a shudder throughout his body. Zero now had one hand around the back of his neck and the other grasp at his clothed chest.
Anyone looking at the two would think they were nothing other than two guys innocently kissing. Little did they know... He thought with a smile that tugged at his lips. So many sensations were surging throughout his body, and it weren't just the feeding. He didn't know the prefect would have, well, this kind of effect on him. His pants were a little tight, to say the least
Leaning his head back for better access, the fangs were slowly retracted as Zero seemed to go limp by his side, now heavy against him. He was unconscious.
Zero POV
He was teasing him, wasn't he? Zero thought. Why was he doing this? Why now..?He tried hard to fight the demon attempting to reside. He hadn't quite been taking him seriously until his hand was upon his face, cupping his cheek in such a comforting manner.
So soft... Gentle...
His cheeks were reaching boiling point as he was practically pulled on him. Staying completely still for a moment, he could feel his will draining, a lot faster than usual. The thing that's been driving him insane these last couple of days was mere inches from him, how could his beast possibly refuse such a tempting offer?
He was pushed closer as Kaname enveloped him in a warm embrace. His vampiric senses took over, as he melted into the act.
Dizzy and disorientated, he was completely confused, but the warm liquid that trickled down his throat was complete bliss. He was slow as he savoured every single drop, letting it linger on his tongue as he licked the smooth skin. He could slowly feel himself slipping away... his last thought; strange enough I'd be happy if I died here right now... Before he fell under the heavy spell of darkness that came over him.
