"W-where are we g-going?"

"Somewhere warm for you to sleep."

"O-okay…" I couldn't argue with him, I never could.

I soon fell asleep, my head lying on Kaname-senpai's shoulder. We were still walking, or rather, he was still walking to wherever he was talking me. I still have no clue where though.

A while later, a deep soothing voice said,

"Yuuki, we're here."

I opened my eyes slowly, blinking repeatedly, adjusting to the light of the room. I rubbed my eyes tiredly, and started to yawn.

"I'm sorry for waking you, but a bed would be much more comfortable than my arms." He said this in an almost sorrowful way, as he gazed longingly through the window. I wonder what he's looking at, though. 'I'd prefer you to a bed though, senpai.' I though devilishly. I could never say that to him, partly because of my nervousness, but mostly of not knowing how he would react to such a thing.

"Well, I have some paperwork to do, so I'll leave you to sleep here."

"A-ano, Kaname-senpai, would you, um…" I blushed furiously as I struggled to find the words. "Would you sit with me until I f-fall asleep?" I closed my eyes, almost afraid to look at his face, to see his reaction. Then, slowly I peeked through one eye, he was smiling!

But it wasn't like his usual smiles, showing an air of pride and his status as a pureblood, keeping a distance from all others. This smile gave off joyfulness, and it reached his eyes, oh how they sparkled. The deep, crimson red, slowly bleeding into black.

He walked over to me.

"Of course, Yuuki, whatever you wish." He said as he pulled me into a tight embrace, I relaxed immediately in his arms. It felt like I had known this side of Kaname-senpai long ago, put I can't quite put my finger on it.

"A-a-arigatou…" I half-mumbled into his chest. I was glad he couldn't see my face. I was probably, by now, redder than roses, redder than the blood that splashed across the snow that day. I was glad that Kaname-senpai saved me, he was my hero, and he still is. He was my beginning. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice that Kaname-senpai was leading me over to the bed.

The covers were most likely made of silk; they were a deep-burgundy colour, shimmering with the light- wait, why am I describing décor?! I should be relishing every second with Kaname-senpai, because now, there's no Zero here to interrupt a ting. He always does that, I hardly ever get to speak a word- Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Why do I keep doing this?! Right, brain, stop thinking, NOW!!!

He pulled the bed covers for me, and I crawled in, still in my school uniform, only without my jacket. It was draped over the chair by the desk; Kaname-senpai must've taken it off me. I'd already kicked off my shoes; they were lying neatly by the foot of the bed.

"Would you like me to tuck you in?" he asked me. I was already quite warm after all of the blushing I'd done, but then a though flashed through my head, he'd have to lean across me to tuck me in! Thank you brain, you're useful once more!

"Un… sure." Dammit! I was still blushing!

So, Kaname-senpai leaned over me, as expected, and then after he'd tucked me in, he didn't move back. He stayed there, his hair gracefully hanging down, tickling my face, and his hand slowly making its way to my cheek. His eyes were full of sadness and guilt, and looked so lonely, but why?

"Goodnight, my princess." I felt his lips brush against my forehead. Soon after, I fell asleep. I fell asleep, too soon to be natural, what happened?
