Moonlight Feels Right Chapt. 8

Zero's mind was in a whirl, it seemed to be a constant state ever since he and Kaname "mated". The vampire had been right, the physical need to be together and feed only from each other was overpowering. However, Zero was long used to restraint and controlling his feelings and desires. The brunette vampire was incredibly arousing but, as yet, they had not physically consummated their relationship. But not for lack of trying on Kaname's part.

He didn't want to force Zero, although desire was fraying his nerves. The brunette knew that if he pushed the silver haired boy that he would eventually acquiesce, but he knew that afterwards his lover would be hurt and angry, with both himself and Kaname. So he waited, and waited, and waited.

Kaname screamed silently in the shower, how much longer could Zero possibly hold out? He was the one in danger of going mad now.

Zero was aware of the effect he was having on his mate. He was secretly delighted to be so wanted and loved, and Kaname truly did love him, he knew that now. He also was giving his soon to be lover a taste of his own medicine; the time before the project that brought them together began, all that was between them was animosity. Kaname had delicately tortured Zero with his words, forcing "please" and "thank you" from him before letting him drink and end his bloodlust. Back then, Zero was helpless against his need for the vampire prince's blood all that formerly kept him from madness.

He didn't need worry about falling to a level E now, he was bonded to Kaname for life. No other would do, they craved only each other's blood and gave to each other freely. The feeling was incredible, and only amplified when they bit each other simultaneously. They also became almost uncontrollably aroused by either of them feeding. Zero knew, in the back of his mind that at some point they would go past the kisses, hugs and touches that feeding brought on.

The final step would be their physical union. Zero knew he wanted it, but at the same time, he was hesitant. This meant physically submitting to his mate. A large degree of love, lust and trust would be required. Zero has always held himself back, been in control and abhorred physical contact. Deep inside, he wanted his vampire mate, wanted to make love, be held and adored. He knew Kaname was capable of all this and more but giving himself to another male, being submissive in a way, he just couldn't bring himself to succumb or to admit he was in love with his former rival.

The worst part? They had to tell Yuuki and the Headmaster, something they both dreaded. They both feared that Yuuki would be hurt, and they knew Cross would squeal with joy. The four sat in the living room of the Headmasters home, Zero already blushing and Kaname barely able to keep his hands off the boy. Instead, he gazed adoringly at the prefect. He did not want to hurt Yuuki, but neither would he deny his mate.

The silver haired boy looked towards his mate, wishing Kaname would tone it down. He was practically beaming, very unvampire prince-like. Yuuki leaned forward eagerly, was that drool?

The Headmaster exclaimed, "How lovely the two of you look together, my beloved son and Kaname-kun".

"I'm not your son" growled Zero.

Kaname hushed him with a whispered "be polite".

"What have you come to tell us, Kaname-sama? Have you and my brother Zero finished your project?"

Zero and Kaname stared at each other, in all the excitement of their blooming relationship; they had completely forgotten what had brought them together. "Why, yes" said Kaname smoothly. "We have found a way to bridge the gap between Vampires, Humans and Hunters. We have decided to lead by example and begin a relationship".

Yuuki and the Headmasters eyes grew big and they gasped. "We don't want to hurt you Yuuki, we both love you very much" said Zero with a worried look.

Suddenly Yuuki and Cross leapt up yelling "Kya" at the top of their lungs and dancing around the room. "We are both so happy for you" exclaimed Yuuki "and we love you very much as well. We knew you needed each other, that's why we thought of the project."

"What the hell?!" yelled Zero, "You tricked us into a relationship?!"

"You are so hot together" said Yuuki, a thin string of drool sliding down her chin. The Headmaster beamed and would have kissed Zero if not for the look of death the boy gave him.

"Yuuki, you're a yaoi fangirl?" asked Zero helplessly. He knew when he had lost, no use in railing at Yuuki. Her trick had worked and he and Kaname were now mated and bonded. The Headmaster insisted they toast their union with champagne which Kaname agreed to happily. When the chairman asked if they were exchanging rings or having a ceremony "where he could give his lovely son away" Zero turned beet red and fled the room for the safety of the Moon Dorm. Kaname politely thanked Yuuki and the Headmaster, kissed Yuuki chastely on the cheek, shook hands with the Chairman and departed after his lover.

In the relatively safety of the Moon Dorm Zero pondered the situation. He knew he cared deeply for Kaname, but was it love? Lust? How much was simply the result of their mating? He had moved into the Moon Dorm, as Kaname had predicted, and was a part of the night class. The inner circle of nobles knew of their "mating" and has started referring to him as "Zero-sama" which actually made him a little nervous. Sometimes to annoy the prefect, Aido would refer to him as "Kuran-sama" implying that Zero has taken his mates name as would a female vampire upon marriage(don't know if this is correct or not). This really pissed him off.

At Zero's insistence, Kaname had moved a small extra bed into his room. The boy insisted on sleeping separately instead of in the pureblood's massive and comfy bed. After waking up several days in a row with said pureblood snuggled into the small bed with him, Zero agreed to share the brunette's bed. After all, it was abnormally large, wasn't it? Surely enough room for two to sleep comfortably without touching.

Zero found that he slept soundly and woke refreshed, as though he had pleasant dreams all night. Usually, he woke to Kaname staring at him adoringly with a soft smile and one day he found himself smiling back. During the night he felt safe and warm, no longer tormented by nightmares of his past or fear of his future. Waking briefly during the night he invariably found the pureblood sleeping, arms and legs wrapped around him as though he might flee in the night. Kaname looked like a fallen angel as he slept, beautiful but still dark and deadly. Zero found this incredibly exciting and sometimes watched the vampire sleeping before he too returned to sleep. It never occurred to him to push the brunette away; he realized he found comfort in that loving embrace and… something else?

There was no doubt that they both became aroused when feeding. They clung to each other desperately as though they could merge into one being. Afterwards, they kissed tenderly, their bodies pressed together, both feeling the other's throbbing erection. Their feelings overwhelming them in a hot wave of passion. Hands rubbed muscled backs, slid through soft hair, hips ground together, soft moans of need…

They wouldn't be able to stop there much longer. Zero knew he had to make a decision, to totally commit to Kaname. Or to become a feeding and fuck-buddy. Another choice seemed impossible. If truth be told, he was happier than any time since his parents had died. The older vampire seemed to adore him and quite obviously wanted him. He knew he could never do anything to hurt the brunette and there was clearly passion on both sides. Zero looked deeply into his heart. Had he come to love the pureblood vampire, his former nemesis and rival? He could barely recall their turbulent relationship. The world was somehow clearer and brighter now.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! My website has been keeping me so busy it's taken awhile for me to catch up but I've started writing again. Thanks to my Beta ShounenaiFangirl.
