Author's Notes: Hello~ I re-read the first chappie and it suuuucked. I thought so anyway. I hoped you liked it though. Thank ya for making it to this second, and most likely final, chappie! :3 I feel weird writing a story with no actual beginning or end! XD It started at the party and it ends... well I don't know how it ends, I don't plan! XDDD
Luckily for ya'll who like BL- this chappie has stronger vagueness.
Warnings: Stronger BL, but still requires squinting. :3
Summary: Zero retires to his room for the day to sleep but can't find rest when the sun is rising, so he lays on his bed, waiting until he grows tired from the long night... Is that Kaname at his door?
Read, Enjoy and Review!
-x-X-x-
He showered the chemicals off and slipped into some comfy pajamas, but as Zero stood before his bed and looked out the window to see the sun tinting the sky a soft pastel blue, he found that he was not particularly sleepy. He closed the curtains anyway- the sun still hurt his eyes. Sure, he felt a little weary from staying up all night with the others, but he had been sleeping pretty well the last few days and his second wind was trying to kick in. He looked down at the nonetheless welcoming, fluffy bed. He just wasn't tired enough to sleep until the sun set again. However, Yuuki had been so tired that she hadn't even stayed out at the pool the whole time and had gone to bed; as such, the hunter knew that she was alseep. Zero sighed- there was nothing to do if he stayed awake (and they weren't allowed to leave the house without at least a buddy).
The prefect flopped down onto the bed and closed his eyes anyway. After lying there for a moment, he noticed that it was getting kind of hot. He was a vampire, like it or not, and they were naturally sensitive to heat, so, Zero reasoned dryly, he was probably going to sense every degree rise probably.
He rolled over on his back to stare at the ceiling.
This sucked. Just like the pool game had. Next time, he wasn't going to let Yuuki and Cross drag him into doing "fun" things that involved Kaname and the Night Class. Now Zero's thoughts were pulled to the pureblood. Why had Kaname been so nice? Well, he had mostly been nice. The brunette had teased Zero a few times, making the hunter ruffle his feathers in return, but now that he wasn't near the other vampire, Zero felt a bit more understanding. Perhaps the pureblood was only poking fun. After all, Kaname had no room to insult Zero seriously on a night like last night. Last night was neutral for everyone. Even Zero was feeling some sort of regret for being so uptight and on edge- he should have relaxed and had fun quicker than he had.
Zero half-rolled over to prop his head up on his hand and he stared down at the dark blue quilt under him while he thought.
What if Kaname was trying to be nice? Maybe he was merely bullying the younger vampire like how Zero bullied Yuuki. The hunter narrowed his eyes slightly in wariness and a bit of guilt. Yes, he should have been nicer. He could do with one less enemy.
Before his thoughts could progress any farther, he felt the pureblood's aura hovering somewhere down the hall. He had already felt the vampires' auras settle down, including Kaname's but now it was getting closer. As it did, his sensitive hearing picked up the very, very soft sound of bare feet tapping on the hard wood floors... He didn't move from his spot in the middle of the bed when the powerful, yet retained, aura stopped at his door. Kaname was at his door? He resisted the urge to call out and just waited. When nothing happened, but Kaname still lingered, he wondered if... Was the older vampire trying to sneak in? Zero huffed silently. Well. He'd see just what that vampire was up to and catch him right in the act.
Zero carefully repositioned himself to lie halfway correctly aligned with the bed and made himself look like he was harmlessly sprawled across the bed in slumber. Just as he closed his eyes in the relaxed fashion of sleep, he heard the sliding door open almost silently. The familiar scent floated into the room and Zero confirmed that it was indeed Kaname Kuran and he twitched slightly. The other was heard close the door and Zero could tell the brunette was still in the room because he heard him approaching the bed.
What was Kaname doing still awake anyway? Shouldn't the busy Moon Dorm President and pureblood prince be grabbing as much sleep as he could? Most people didn't go to sleep as soon as it was night (or day, if you were a vampire...) of course not, but Zero was sure Kaname remained sleep-deprived most of his time. Then again, it really hadn't been that long since they came in- maybe an hour and a half, at the most.
The hunter remained still and mostly slack when he felt the pureblood stop beside his bed... What was he doing... What if he was going to try and hurt him? Zero nearly snorted at the thought of Kaname grabbing a pillow and attempting to smother him with it. The dark-haired vampire would get a chest full of some hunter charms if he even tried to--
What the hell?!
Zero held back his actual voice and let out a soft moan instead to stay "asleep" when he felt the bed dip and something brushed his still-moist hair out of his closed eyes gently as if it was merely a passing breeze. He was trying not to squeeze his eyelids too much, but as a reflex, he tensed them a bit. Were those Kaname's fingers? He thought so... He almost wanted to backhand the other vampire off of the bed and bark at him to get the hell out, but... something made him continue to feign sleep. As he wondered why he felt compelled to remain as he was, Kaname pulled away and Zero nearly feared what was going to happen next.
The weight on the bed distributed in such a way that Zero knew that Kaname had lay down... LAY DOWN?! Beside him? Zero felt shivers race up his arms and spine even though he felt the pureblood's body heat warm him even more than the summer heat sneaking into the building. The hunter's head was already slightly turned towards the brunette and now that he had laid beside him, it tilted a bit more. Zero felt himself quivering all of a sudden. He felt Kaname's leg touching one of his softly. Was that a knee? Suddenly, the ex-human felt a small ghost of warm, sweet breath drifting over his ear.
Zero's eyes shot open at that to come face to face with a pair of placid, yet... sultry--?, auburn eyes not eight inches away from his own. Kaname was now the one leaning on his hand as he lay on his side, looking down at the hunter.
"Kuran!?" Zero said in shock. If he had intended to fake waking up and sounding surprised, he didn't have to worry about acting. He was taken completely aback. The pureblood didn't even look like he was caught off guard!
Kaname still looked calm.
"My room has apparently suffered a broken air condition vent."
Zero's eyes remained widened and he just stared up at Kaname from his spot half on the pillow in mounting disbelief.
Kaname smiled slightly.
"So I came to your room instead. It's much too hot to sleep in this weather without a cooling system."
The light-haired vampire finally found his tongue, but when he swallowed a bit harder than he would have liked, the only thing that he could find to say was, "And you think sleeping in the bed with me will be any better?"
The obnoxiously attractive smile widened slightly and the older vampire replied, "Maybe. Are you planning on sleeping that close to me? Zero?"
A pink blush crept over Zero's cheeks at how his name was spoken in what was so much like a purr. And what was with that question?!
"What's that supposed to mean? Do I look like I'm planning to sleep that close to you?" he hissed quietly.
Kaname's long eyelashes lowered over his eyes, giving him dark, bedroom eyes and he simply said, "Yes. By how you haven't moved yet, it looks that way."
The prefect still didn't move, but he scowled instead. For the sake of hoping Kaname was only playing with him, Zero just scoffed and closed his eyes as if he were going to go back to sleep. He remained somewhat under Kaname while their bodies were dreadfully close and murmured, "Well, I'm not moving. You came into my room without even asking, then get in bed with me, and you want me to take the initiative of moving? I don't think so. You can move to the other side if you want space." He opened one of his eyes idly like he was tired- which he wasn't- and peeked up at Kaname stubbornly. "I'm too tired to roll over." He closed his eye again and wiggled in a dramatization of getting comfortable.
Zero half-expected Kaname to sigh in defeat and get up, walk around the bed and lie on the less Zero-occupied side, but what he heard was a low chuckle and he felt the pureblood settling down next to him on the pillow. Too scared (that's right- he was freaking scared now) to open his eyes, Zero felt his face redden again, and he just knew the other vampire was closer than before, face and body. Kaname was still facing the younger vampire too...! Zero knew how it looked- they were practically cuddled together and he was still lacking muscle motive to move away. So he just laid there, feeling his very cells tingle at the closeness.
"That's fine. I'm too tired to get up," came the quiet and sleepy reply.

Author's Notes: Ahaha... Kaname sounds so lax in this one. I like it. :3 He just comes in, props up his head and is kind of like "Hey." and Zero's all O_o
