What is this?
Really...I don't know.
But my heart is breaking somewhere.
He's in so much pain.
Always has been...
And I haven't noticed.
I feel my legs give way.
I'm kneeling with him.
And I'm holding him.
Holding him as he shakes with a pain I can't...
Can't even attempt to understand.
"Kaname..."
I murmur his name softly.
He stills slightly.
"Please tell me...Help me understand."
I hear him take a breath.
I want to know what it is.
"You...won't want me to...touch you anymore..."
I shake my head.
"I will...I promise..."
He sighs and chuckles shakily.
"I...These hands are so...stained Yuki..."
He covers his face with his hands.
"I've destroyed so many things..."
I look at him and wonder how long he's been suffering.
I wouldn't know.
"I...used Zero..."
I almost flinch at the name.
"I used him just like an object..."
I listen as his voice drops to a whisper.
"But it was to protect you Yuki..."
I nod and tell him I know.
I know...
He only wants to protect me...
Only wants to protect...
Oh Zero...
I tighten my grip around Kaname.
I feel as though I'm holding him together.
Keeping him from falling apart under all his pain.
What would Zero say if he saw us now?
Perhaps he would frown.
I stroke Kaname's hair and stand up, resolute.
He stands up with me.
And as I look at him, his whole being seems to resonate with some unbearable suffering.
I have to help him.
Save him.
Like I did with...
With...
Zero.
"Kaname, don't block me out anymore."
I tell him this, and he smiles sadly at me, closing himself off again.
"I won't."
He reaches for my face and caresses my cheek slowly.
"You're so beautiful Yuki."
I wonder why.
He turns to go further into the house and I reach out to him.
I take his hand.
I feel him almost withdraw with surprise.
"I love you Kaname."
He turns to look at me, his eyes are spilling happiness.
"And I love you, Yuki."
And he leans down and kisses me.
A/N I know it's been a long time.
This chapter is short and I'm a little useless. I read through my old stories and realised I liked this one, even though my writing style wasn't so good back then.
Ah well, I'm continuing. ^^
