.More Than You Know- A Vampire Knight FanFiction by Clue-sama.

Author's Notes: Heyo~ Too many awesome songs caused my muse to kill me and take over while I was trying to write an english paper! :o lawl~ But I know this whole fic has kind of been more from Zero's side when it comes to the thoughts and stuff... however, I switched to Kaname for this one. The summary thing goes with him too.

Warnings: Nothing graphic. UST (unresolved sexual tension... but I think it's more of a URT even though I don't think that's a real, author's acronym. XD unresolved romantic tension!)

Summary: Maybe one day it could become something more, but for now... I'll just adore you more than you know until you let me really love you.

Read, Enjoy and Review!

-x-X-x-

It was never really said. Well... not from Zero. Even so, Kaname could tell that the hunter felt something akin to love for the older vampire. He had seen it shimmering through his lavender, red-hued eyes when Kaname had sat back from lavishing his affection over Zero's skin. The pureblood had heard it in the tight sighs of his name that the other had tried to muffle and swallow while he was touched almost everywhere with curious and earnest hands. Kaname could feel it when Zero faded in and out of his control and reciprocated the few full-on kisses he allowed the brunette with a hesitant sweetness. Kaname could tell.

And he really shouldn't have let the silver-haired teen see his disappointment when the younger vampire started to honestly... cry. Kaname knew it was coming but he still could not stop his sigh. Zero hadn't heard it through his soft sniffles, but Kaname had heard it come from his own lips as he drew himself up from the hunter and it really summed it up for himself. Zero wasn't ready for all of this and that meant that Kaname could not have him.

The prefect would have to have some time to himself to sort this out because Kaname was one hundred percent positive that Yuuki was a first and foremost issue in Zero's mind. What about her? The hunter had loved her for almost his whole life and all of a sudden his rival comes and basically sweeps Zero off of his feet. It was bound to confuse the younger vampire. Consequently, Kaname would not want to further agitate the already volatile ex-human and drive him away after they had gotten this far, so he had gotten off of him. Zero had looked up in slight shock, but left his tears unchecked. Kaname had just simply carded his hand back through the silvery locks and said, "It's okay."

Zero had smiled in his sorrowful, soft way and left.

Kaname smiled in complete understanding when Zero mumbled his confession to him the next night. It was fine. This time, the pureblood was ready for it.

"...I... Kaname, I need some time to think about... this. Is that okay?"

Just the simple fact that Zero had bothered to ask if it was okay was more than enough. It showed that the hunter was really considering the possibility and also it meant that he must want Kaname to wait...

"Of course. Please do think about it seriously..." Kaname couldn't help but add that last part. Because he felt that he was serious about Zero.

The lilac eyes brightened a tad- maybe Zero had been nervous of what Kaname was going to say? They stood a few feet away from each other for a few moments, exchanging silent words of how they felt.

I'm sorry.

I'll wait for you.

I'm just so confused...

You are so beautiful, you know...

...You really are too much.

It's because of you.

Both vampires' lips turned into smiles and Zero took a shy step forward. Kaname took the other up on the offer and also came forward, wrapping the black-clad boy in his arms. As Zero inhaled the pureblood's personal fragrance, he wondered how it had come this far just because of a trip to the pool. If he ever had even thought of a swimming pool, Kaname and himself before, he would have imagined someone drowning the other in it- not this crazy relationship sparking to life. But it did and he secretly wished that he had more courage to really tell him...

Pressing a temporarily final kiss to the soft shock of silver hair, Kaname prayed to whomever presided over luck, chance and destiny that Zero would come back to him and remain in his arms forever. He wanted that one single thing more than Zero would ever know.
