This story is now a Yuki x Kaname story. Prepare for the bombardment of fluff...

;) Oh and thank you to everyone who reviewed.

I might put a smidge of Zero x Yuki.

So yeah...

Now that it's a Kaname x Yuki story, Yuki will be a pureblood vampire and all that.

It would've been different if it were Zero...

It was night.

The cross-over had been rougher than usual.

But that didn't bother me.

Nothing seemed to be getting to me.

I felt blank.

Almost...

Like I wasn't there.

Distant.

Ever since I heard about Zero...and the...

Attack.

I was aware he was avoiding me.

But I could feel his eyes on me every now and then.

In the classroom.

Sometimes when I was on patrol.

I knew that he wouldn't believe me when I said I forgave him.

I understood that.

But I'll give him time.

It's all I really can give him.

I know I need to talk to him.

But I can't really bring myself to approach him.

When he sees me coming...

He just...conveniently disappears.

I suppose he'll eventually understand.

I hope so anyway.

I can only hope.

"Yuki?"

A voice.

It broke me from my thoughts.

I thought it could be Zero.

I was very badly wrong.

"Yuki? Are you alright?"

I glanced up from my seat on the side of the fountain.

"Ka...Kaname?" I ask.

My voice is shaking.

I don't understand why.

I'm not upset.

I'm...not...

Really...

"Yuki? You look upset. Is everything alright?" His voice washed over me.

Instantly making me feel calm.

And warm.

I shake my head slowly.

"I'm fine. Thank you. I just...I was thinking..."

"About Kiryuu?" He finished my sentence for me.

I nodded sheepishly.

Suddenly, and without warning, he had pulled me into his arms.

My head rested on his chest.

I could hear his heartbeat.

Gentle. Soothing. Constant.

Exactly like him.

"Yuki. You shouldn't think of things that upset you." He murmured into the top of my hair.

His hand slowly stroked my head.

"I never want you to be upset."

I shut my eyes.

I breathe in his scent, his warmth, and the overwhelming happiness I felt with him so close.

We stayed like that for a few moments.

I was unsure of how long it was.

The time was blurred.

Blurred by my strange happiness I felt.

I never wanted him to let go.

"K...Kaname...I..." I began to speak but he hushed me.

"Please...Yuki...Just...let us stay like this. Just for a moment."

His arms tightened slightly.

Pulling me closer.

I noticed a slight thrumming along my back.

It's raining.

I noted this only slightly.

The information went straight to the back of my mind.

The only thing that mattered was him.

His arms.

His heart.

I could hear him breathing.

It sounded almost harsh.

"Kaname?" I asked softly.

Careful not to break the moment.

I concentrated on his breathing.

Focusing so that I would hear whatever he was going to say next.

"Yuki..."

I felt mesmerised by the way he said something so simple.

It was only my name.

But it was so much more.

His voice shook with emotion.

I felt the slightest sensation of added moisture on the top of my head.

Was he crying?

"Yuki...I..." He whispered.

His tone was strained.

"I don't want you to see me like this but..." He trailed off.

I felt concern swamp me and I instantly raised me arms to embrace him.

I pulled him closer, silently stroking his hair.

"Kaname. It's alright...I promise..."

I felt his breathing calm and he uttered only a few words.

"Thank you. Thank you so much...Yuki..."

I felt him sigh.

I burrowed my head further into his chest.

Listening intently to his heartbeat.

He was really there.

Alive.

Warm.

And incredibly beautiful.
