Chapter 3: To meet Rose for the first time

***********************

It was silent in Zero's apartment. The only noise heard was hushed muffled sobs. Zero laid on his bed with his face stuffed into the pillow. Rose jumped onto the bed and began to sniff her special owner. She nudged his arm repeatedly as if trying to find out what was wrong with him. Zero sobbed again making Rose whimper as well.

That was Zero's only family picture. His family was always moving around and preoccupied with work that they could never find the time to take a family photo. That photo that was now ripped was the only chance they had for a picture. It was when they got their 6th house. Zero couldn't remember good time he had with his family because all his memories were of pain and confusion.

"Zero, Daddy has a friend over that I won't you to meet." Zero's dad motioned for him to follow him to the basement.

"Who is it daddy?" Zero asked confused while following his dad down the hallway. Why would his friend be in the basement? There was nothing down there for entertainment. Zero's father for some reason looked unsure and…. Scared?

"I'll introduce the two of you later." They arrived to the basement door. Zero looked at his dad curiously while his dad seemed to be debating on whether or not he should open the door. Finally his dad took a deep breath deciding to open it after all. He told Zero to go down.

"But it's dark father. I can't see anything." Zero complained.

"Zero it's alright, don't be afraid."

"But it's too dark can I turn on the light." It wasn't a question. Zero was reaching for the light switch when all of a sudden his dad grabbed his hand in a tight grip.

"No Zero! Just get down to the basement!" His dad became angry squeezing Zero's hand tighter.

"Ouch daddy it hurts!" Zero tugged at his risk and his dad finally let go. His father sighed.

"Please just go Zero." Zero looked at his father strangely. He gulped and took a deep breath before descending the stairs one at a time. He walked carefully down the dark steps afraid that if he went any faster he would fall. Now at the last stair Zero noticed that his father wasn't following him. He turned around looking up at the door.

"Dad aren't you coming down?" He couldn't see his father, he only saw a dark figure standing in the door way. The light from upstairs outlined his father's figure. Zero didn't get an answer as his dad took a step back and slowly closed the door behind him shutting the only light source out leaving Zero alone on the stairs in complete darkness.

"F…Father? Zero called out but got no answer. He began to panic. He ran back up the stairs and banged on the door trying hard to open it by twisting the knob this way and that.

"DAD! DAD!" Zero sobbed but no one came.

"Hello cutie." Zero stopped his actions and looked back down the steps were the voice came from. He couldn't see anything though. Zero decided to walk down the stairs again, very cautiously. His bare feet touch the cold Stone floor making him shiver.

"Who are you?" Zero demanded. In reply he heard giggles that seemed to float all around him.

"St…Stop it!" Zero cried out really starting to fear for his life. As he began to back up going to the direction of the stair be bumped into another body. He was pulled solidly against the body, only tall enough to reach the persons hips.

"Where do you think you're going…… Zero?" He didn't recognize the voice and that scared him. His capturer pulled him up into their arms with his back against their chest.

"What are you doing?" Zero screamed starting to squirm in their tight hold.

"I'm going to bit you Zero." The women giggled as if it was the obvious. Just then she bit him on the left side of his neck. Zero eyes went wide as he felt Sharpe teeth sink into his neck. He cried out for his father but it was pointless. Zero knew he wasn't coming.

"You should be happy that you're sacrificing yourself to get you beloved Mother back." She bit him again and again over and over again. Zero sobbed helplessly as he began to see spot dance around his vision as his world started to fade around him.

"Mother?" Zero sobbed again. He realized what he had to do.

"I'll let you turn me only because it's for mother." Zero whispered as he blacked out. He just wished she would erase his memories so he wouldn't have to live every day of his life knowing what he would become. Hopeful she would kill him but he knew that was only just wishfully thinking. She would want him to suffer.

*********

Zero woke up from his dream panting hard. His hair clung to his face and neck from sweat. He looked over the edge of the bed when he heard a big thump sound as if something fell off the bed. Sure enough Rose was on the floor shaking her fur as if to brush off the pain from hitting the floor suddenly.

"Sorry Rose did I scare you?" Zero patted the spot next to him resulting in Rose to jump up onto the bed again. He tried rubbing his dog but she playfully bit him as if to punish him for knocking her off the bed. He gave her a funny look and turned his head as if to say he was ignoring her for the rest of the day. Zero chuckled when Rose jumped up and licked him in the face already forgiving him, and wanting him to pay attention to her. They could never stay mad at each other for long.

"Hmmm…know you forgive me?" Zero asked sarcastically. He didn't find it strange to talk to his dog or ask her questions, even though he knew she wouldn't respond back to him. Getting off the bed he stretched letting out a tired yawn. He always tried to pretend he didn't just wake up from a nightmare. He never did understand his dreams. It almost felt like a memory rather than a dream like his body was trying to get back something it lost, but he never thought much on it.

"Lucky for you I don't have to work on the weekends so that means we can hang out more often." Zero smiled at her as she tilted her head to the side in confusion. It's not like he didn't have friends because he did. He had Yuki, her father Kaien Kross, and Rose that was all he needed. Yuki had to work on the weekends and her father was in some kind of top secret association. He remembered him mentioning before that they were working on a new substance that would make co-existing a little easier. Whatever that meant. Zero labeled him as weird. He grabbed a towel before turned to his dog.

"Be out of my room when I get back. If you are then we can go for a walk okay?" Zero turned and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. To him, talking to his dog was a training exercise. He turned the water on for the shower and took all his clothes off. As soon as he stepped in, and the water hit his skin he sighed relaxed. The water felt great. He showered for a long time smoothing out his stress as the water relaxed his aching muscles.

**********

"If you are looking for a specific breed of dog then I suggest you should go to the dog park. That way you can see how most dogs respond to their owner.

"Thank you Ichijou. That sound like a good idea."

"Just be sure to cover up so the sun won't irritate you." Ichijou pointed out happily. Kaname glared at him. He wasn't a child he knew to cover up.

"Kaname, where are you!" They both froze up as the footsteps approaching got closer and closer.

"God Ichijou, please distract her." Kaname stated. Ichijou smirked.

"Yes Kaname sama. I will be the distraction while you make your escape. This would have been so much more fun if I made an escape plan." Ichijou pouted toward the end.

"That won't be necessary." Kaname stated as he grabbed his coat opening the balcony window.

"Good luck Kaname sama." Ichijou waved as he disappeared into the hallway to distract Ruka. Kaname jumped out of the window landing skillfully on his feet with the grace of a cat.

************ *****

"Rose." Zero tugged at his dog trying to get her to let go of the half eaten Burger carelessly plopped on the ground. Rose growled in protest.

"You don't know what's gotten into that." Zero tried again to get his dog to let go.

"Look I'm sorry your hungry and I know it's my fault, but I don't have the money to send you to the vet if you get sick. I promise that I will get you a big bone that will last you a week." Zero pleaded with Rose. Surprisingly she let go. Looks like, talking to your dog isn't a crazy idea after all.

"Come on girl." Zero whistled to get his dogs attention. She yipped happily and walked in front of her owner. They walked in silence until they finally reached the dog park. Suddenly Rose froze up. Zero stopped walking when he noticed that Rose wasn't walking in front of him anymore.

"What wrong Rose?" Zero asked concerned. He hoped she wasn't feeling sick from eating some of that burger. Rose walked up to Zero and sniffed him while walking in a circle around him. Then suddenly she took off in the opposite direction from Zero.

"Rose." Zero ran after his dog surprised. Why was she acting so strange suddenly?

"Rose, stop!" Zero ran after his dog faster when the noticed he wasn't gaining on her. They ran through the park getting unwanted attention. Where was she going?

************

Kaname walked lazily through the park, but all of his attention was focus on the dogs. He didn't want a big dog. He knew that for sure. He needed a dog that didn't shed fur, one that was house trained, could be aggressive when needed to be. He didn't care about the sex of the dog. Kaname stopped when he spotted a small dog. He walked up to the big women who appeared to be the owner of said dog with confidence.

"Excuse me Ms, but can you tell me what breed of dog that is?" Kaname gestured down to her small dog. The women looked at Kaname and smiled a big sloppy grin.

"Iit's a Chiwawa of course." The women beamed while picking up the little Chiwawa giving Kaname a much better view.

"Chiwawa?" Kaname tried the strange word on his tongue. The lady nodded with approval.

"Do all of them have such long pointed ears?" Kaname asked casually while stroking the dog's ear. The dog wiggled in the women's arm Excited. The women nodded.

"She seems to really like you sir. This breed of dog is really special aren't ya?" She asked in a baby playing voice.

"I will keep this information in mind. Thank you." Kaname smiled. The women nodded while putting her dog down and bidding Kaname bye before walking off.

Kaname sighed. At this rate he was never going to find the right dog for him. There were just too many breeds to remember!

.Sheep Dogs

.American water Spaniels

Kaname felt like he was going to lose his head trying to remember all the different kinds of breeds he had to consider. He quickly turned around when he heard someone shouting. "No girl, stop!" He looked down to see a small dog running toward him. It jumped up into his arms and he instinctively wrapped his arms around the dog to catch it. The Dog looked up at him and licked his face. Kaname blinked. He was surprised to find that the feeling wasn't disturbing or disgusting like he thought it would be. Instead he found it cute and not unwanted. He smiled at her as she wiggled excitedly in his arms.

"Hello where did you come from?" Kaname patted her head with is other hand. The more he looked at the dog the more it reminded him of someone. Her scent smelled like…….

"Have I met you before?" Kaname smiled, he never talked to a dog before. But the dog was carrying someone's scent that he remembered. It was oddly pleasant.

"Rose." Zero stopped when he caught up to her. He tried to talk at the same time he tried to get his breathing under control.

"Look, I'm sorry for my dog behavior I promise you that she never acts like this. She's probable not feeling well, or she………" Zero stopped everything when he finally looked up and fixed his eyes on the man holding his dog.

"Kiryu?" Kaname asked astonished. What were the chances? Zero blinked as if to clear away his shock.

"Kuran." Zero said slowly then looked down at his dog.

"Ah sorry about that kuran, she doesn't randomly jump into strangers arms all the time. Zero eased his dog out of Kaname arms. He decided to just hold her not trusting if she would run off again.

"It's alright I don't mind." Kaname reassured reaching out to pat the dog.

"She probable only did that because she smelled your scent on me from last night." Zero blushed. That came out sounding sexual. Kaname chuckled.

"So this is Rose?" Kaname asked while gently stroking here on the back. Zero was shocked for a second that Kaname remembered her name.

"Yeah." Zero became to rub her head. Rose was in doggy bliss from having two strong, but gentle hands adore her.

"She's just how you described her." Kaname looked up at Zero turning his attention away from Rose. They couldn't tell before but now that they were standing and so close Kaname noticed that he was taller than Zero, but not by that much. For some reason the realization of Kaname being taller than him made Zero heart skip a beat. He felt tingly again. Kanames hand unconsciously went higher now rubbing Roses neck.

"So Kuran, what are you doing in a place like this? I don't see a dog around you." Zero noted.

"I'm in the process of getting one, but before I do I just want to make sure I get one that's right for me. So I came here to examine different breeds." Kaname looked around for emphasis. Zero nodded while giving one long stroke from her head to her neck causing Zeros hand to lightly caress Kanames in the process. They both shivered at the electricity that seemed to pass through their hands.

"S…Sorry." Zero blushed again. Kaname smirked.

"It's alright. I don't mind." To Kanames delight that made Zero blush even more.

"How the search going?" Zero changed the subject.

"It's going well. It's just a lot of breeds to remember though." Kaname confessed. Zero laughed.

"You don't have to try to remember all the breeds."

"I don't?"

"Nope, just eliminate the ones that you don't think you would want."

"Sounds easier then said than done." Kaname pointed out.

"I guess that's true. But finding a dog isn't really that hard. You can even know if there right for you just by looking at them sometimes." Zero looked down at Rose who yipped in agreement. Kaname watched the two. They looked so happy together, so right.

"Kiryu do you mind helping me find the right dog? You seem to know a lot about them. If you don't mind." Kaname pleaded. He actually pleaded! A rich guy like Kaname, Asking for a waiters help? Zero couldn't believe it. But he was all too happy to help the burnet.

"Sure I don't mind sounds fun anyway."

"Do you mind if we sit?" Kanama asked. The sun was starting to irritate him a little. He needed shade.

"I don't mind." Zero followed Kaname to a secluded bench under a large Sakura tree. He sighed in relief as he sat down under the shade. Zero sat down next time him putting Rose in his lap.

"How do we start?" Kaname asked looking at Zero.

"First describe to me the type of Dog you think you might want." Zero turned slightly to Kaname. Kaname seemed to be thinking for a moment.

"It has to be small with fur that doesn't shed either boy or girl is fin, and it has to be already trained or easy to train. It has to be aggressive when need be. Fun to play around with Oh, and respects me as an owner." Kaname finished hoping he wasn't asking for the imposable. He watched Zero as he appeared to be thinking about it.

"You basically just described Roses characteristics. " Zero pointed out.

"I did?" Zero nodded. Kaname looked down at the bundle in Zero's lap. Know that Zero mentioned it Kaname did describe Rose. Poodles didn't shed, she seemed to respect Zero. She must be trained well if Zero trusted walking her without a leash.

"I guess you're right. Thank you Kiryu."

"Does that mean you have decided?"

"Yes, I want a miniature poodle as well." Kaname concluded finally feeling relieved that he didn't have to think on it anymore. Zero nodded.

"Sounds perfect for you, but since I'm sure this will be your first dog I think it will be best if I showed you how to take care of one. How about we meet up her tomorrow around one?" Kaname nodded, and smiled at Zero.

"Thank you for being so helpful." Zero blushed, and looked away. "Damn it! Why am I acting so blushy when all he did was thank me? And besides he's already in a relationship." Zero told himself. That reminded him.

"How did you fall in love with Souen san?" Zero really wanted to ask why he fell in love with someone as stuck up as Souen san, but then that would be rude.

"Love?"

"Yeah. You have to be in love with someone if you want to marry them." Zero added. He watched Kaname silently.

"I don't love her." Kaname whispered too low for Zero to hear.

"What was that?" Zero asked anxiously. Kaname sighed.

"I said i….i…….." Kaname didn't get to finish when a yellow piece of paper came flying out of nowhere. Rose watched it as it danced swiftly through the sky. Zero felt her freeze up when she noticed the paper was flying away from them. When she decided it was too far she jumped out of Zero's lap and ran after the paper.

"Rose." Zero called after her getting ready to run after her again. Kaname stopped him by grabbing his sleeve.

"Kiryu I think this would be a good trust exercise. If you had her since you were little then I'm sure she wouldn't just suddenly run away. Give her a moment."Kaname reassure.

Zero looked unsure for a moment but decided to see where this would go. Kaname knew that if she really did try to run away he could just use his telepath powers to stop her from moving a single limb. One short minute later Rose came back running through the field with a piece of yellow paper hanging out her mouth. Zero sighed in relief. She stopped in front of Zero wagging her tail anxiously.

"She must have mistaken this for a game of fetch since we play it so often." Zero realized as he took the paper from her mouth. Kaname smiled down at her and patted his lap. He was surprised when she actually jumped into his lap. Zero was mildly surprised to. Rose didn't like anyone else but him. It warmed his heart to see her making friends with someone else. He thanked Kaname for that.

"She really likes you Kaname. You're so gentle with her, Thank you." Zero's words were sincere.

"She's a really fun dog. She's only that way because she has an amazing owner like you otherwise she would be a vicious dog. You're the one to thank." Zero heart thumped painfully. Why did Kaname have that affect on him? He realized he still had the paper in his had so he turned it over reading it out loud.

"Come one come all to tonight's exciting fair. Play games. Get on tons of rides including our very own tunnel of love for all the couples. Eat delicious food and sweets. See the fireworks closer than before as tonight's big event, and closing. 6:00-12:30 we hope to see you there.

Zero finished while observing the colorful design including directions to the located place. Kaname raised his eyebrow getting an idea.

"Kiryu, want to go?" Kaname asked trying to hide his excitement. He never got to go to a fair before. Zero had never been to one either, plus it did sound fun so why not?

"Sure sounds fun." Zero smiled.

"Good. Give me the directions to your place so I can come pick you up." Zero panicked slightly but reassured himself that Kaname was rich so he wouldn't want to rob him or anything. He remembered that his parent told him to never trust strangers, but Kaname wasn't that much of a stranger he would prove that tonight. Zero told him were his apartment was located. Kaname remembered it easily.

"Then see you around 6:30?" Kaname asked sweetly causing Zero's body to feel all tingly again. It took a while for Zero to answer as he tried to get this new feeling under control.

"Yeah sounds good." They both stood. Kaname handed Rose back over to Zero. He patted her on the head one last time.

"Goodbye Rose." The way Kaname treated Rose made Zero warm up to the burnet even more, making Kaname less of a stranger already. He just hoped that going out with the burnet tonight wouldn't be a big mistake.

****************

"Damnit!" Zero rummaged through his closet for something to wear. He didn't have that many clothes to begin with, and to add to it, most of his clothes were dirty, because he didn't wash his clothes too often. He always waited until the last minute kind of like now. Rose laid on the bed wagging her curly tail as she watch Zero throw clothes out the closet franticly.

"I don't have anything to wear, and he should be her in half an hour and I still need to shower." Zero complained, but then scolded himself for sounding like a girl going on her first date. He let out a long sigh.

"It would be nice if you stopped sitting there and actually helped me find something." He didn't really expect her to do anything, and only continue to stare, but when she heard her owner's plea she jumped off the bed and went under it dragging out a nice but casual collar shirt that complimented his eyes very nicely. (A/N: Use your imagination XD) Zero watched her as she dragged it over to him.

"Y…you had that shirt this whole time?! I've been looking for this shirt for months!" Zero hissed as he grabbed the shirt from her. He ran off out the room. Zero sighed. He didn't mean to sound mad at her. He was just a little frustrated.

"But thanks for helping out Rose." He heard a bark come from the other room making him smile. He found a pair of loose jeans easily. It went very nicely will his shirt. Zero scolded himself again. There was no time to admire his, own clothing. He didn't even know why he was getting so worked up about looking nice for tonight's outing with the burnet anyway, but never mind that. He needed to get in the shower and fast.

********

"But kana honey we were suppose to spend tonight together!" Ruka complained pouting.

"I don't remember making those arrangements." Kaname came out the closet with a shirt in his hand. Currently topless.

"Well can you at least tell me where you're going? You better not be going out with another woman tonight Kaname. If I find out you're cheating on me I'm telling father." She watched Kaname as he buttoned up his shirt looking unfazed. She had to admit he looked really mouth watering dressed so casually.

"I assure you I will not be out with another woman tonight so, relax. I should be back later on tonight."Kaname decided to give her a little information. At least he was telling the truth. Thank god Rose found that paper or he would have had to put up with Ruka all night arguing non- stop.

Ruka groaned frustrated while walking out of the room before throwing a "fine!" back at him storming down the hall. Kaname didn't have time for her right now. He had to go pick up Zero for their- what he liked to call -date. Kaname felt better already just thinking about it.

***************

Ichijou smiled as he walked down the hallway. He heard everything. He knew Kaname wasn't going to a meeting or anything because it was his job to take care of all of Kaname's business affairs. Kaname had to be meeting someone personal, why else would he dress up so casually begging for someone's attention. Ichijou knew who the person was that Kaname was going to go see. Everything was going according to plan.

************

Kaname stood in front of Zero's door in the hallway. He took two deep breaths before knocking.

"It's open." He heard Zero's muffled voice call out. He turned the knob and stepped inside Zero's spacious home. When he closed the door behind him and looked around. He had to admit that he was surprised that the apartment looked elegant and neat with a nice home feeling to it. Kaname realized already that he liked being here already.

"Just make yourself at home I will be out in a minute." Zero called from one of the back room. Kaname smiled, and sat down on the comfortable sofa.

"Take your time." Rose came from the back room when she heard Kaname's voice and jumped onto the couch next to him.

"Hello again, Rose." Kaname smiled down at her patting her head as she wagged her tail excitedly. Kaname leaned down and sniffed the dog. He couldn't help it, the dog smelled so much like the waiter it was so deliciously mouth watering. That must mean they sleep in the same bed. He waited patiently for the waiter to come out as he rubbed Rose distractedly. He heard a door clicked, looking up to see the waiter coming around the corner from one of the back doors. Kaname stood up instantly, and Rose jumped off the couch. They both just stared at each other not moving. Rose looked between the two curiously tilting her head to the side.
"Sorry I took so long." Zero cheeks were tinted pink. Kaname didn't realize his mouth was slightly open until he felt like he might start drooling. He realized that he was particle eye humping the waiter. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat.

"Kiryu you look….nice." Kaname really wanted to say, "Kiryu you look really sexy and mouth watering. I would like to do unimaginable things to you right now." But of course he didn't because that would be rude, and he had a lot more manners then that. Zero was in a similar situation. Kaname looked unimaginable sexy! Zero started to feel tingly again, and his stomach felt like a puddle of mush. Zero admitted that he was attracted to the burnet. He couldn't hide it from himself anymore.

"Thanks, you look nice to." Zero smiled. God how he wished Kaname wasn't in love already. They stood in awkwardness for a coupled second until Kaname finally broke it.

"Shall we get going?" Kaname gestured to the door. Zero nodded suddenly feeling nervous about going out tonight. He had to keep telling himself that it was just an outing between two -almost-friends. Zero turned to Rose who was now looking up at him questionably.

"Sorry you'll be here by yourself until I get back, and you want have anyone o sleep with, but I promise I will bring you back something." Zero reassured Rose who yipped excitedly already seeming anxious for her gift. Zero looked at Kaname and nodded signaling he was ready to do. Rose watched as her two favorite men walked out of the apartment closing and locking the door behind them.

*************

"So this is how it feels to be in a limo." Zero said more to himself then Kaname. Kaname was staring at Zero watching his excited face. "He looks so adorable." Kaname Admitted he was attracted to the silver haired waiter. It was no shock. Zero caught Kaname stare and looked at him. Kaname chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Zero demanded feeling his skin tingle again as Kaname seem to be stripping him with his eyes.

"You are." Kaname chuckled again when Zero blushed and looked away. "Stop it, stop it! He's getting married! He has someone in his life that he loves already. I can't keep feeling this way whenever I'm close to him or whenever he gives me those looks." Zero scolded himself over and over again feeling guilty about the way he felt about Kaname. If Kaname wasn't in love and getting married then he wouldn't feel guilty about the way he felt for the burnet at all.

"Have you ever been to a fair before?" Zero asked lightly.

"No. I never had the time for it. What about you?"

"Same."

Kaname looked at the waiter for long moment trying to decide whether or not to ask him. He finally gave into temptation to ask him anyway.

"Are you in a relationship with anyone?" Kaname tried to hide his curiosity as he watched Zero closely.

"No." Zero confessed leaving Kaname shocked. He didn't understand.

"Why not?" Kaname couldn't hold back the shock in his voice. Zero was beautiful, gentle, and caring. He should have girls and boys lining up at his door.

"I guess it's because the people I meet only want me for my body. They never seem to want a serious relationship with me." Kaname couldn't believe it. It suddenly made him angry that someone would try to hurt the gentle waiter. He told himself to calm down before he cracked a window or worse, blew the care up.

"I'm sorry kiryu, but I know what you mean." Kaname was wanted for his title as a pureblood. No one really wanted to love him. They just wanted to make babies with him so their kids could take up the title as a Kuran.

"Oh thats right." Zero suddenly burst out remembering something that's been on his mind for ever.

"What is it Kiryu?" Kaname asked with amusement. The waiter seemed to be lighting up to him.

"I never got to ask you before but, what do you do? I mean your famous right?" Zero asked anxiously. Kaname smiled at him.

"I'm a musician. I play the piano, that's all." Kaname responded casually. He didn't expect what happened next to happen.

"Really?! That amazing." Zero couldn't help himself. He loved musicians. His favorite was Ludwig van Beethoven whom also played the organ.

"Thank you." Kaname said gently.

"How come I never heard of your work? I want to hear you play someday. Is that alright?" Zero talked to Kaname with so much love in his voice. His words were so gentle that it warmed Kaname's insides.

"I would really like that." Kaname purposely scooter closer to Zero reaching out to caress the waiters hand. Zero face instantly turned a high pink. He looked down at their hand then back up at the Kaname's face. His own face grew even redder. He shivered when Kaname scooted closer.

"What's wrong Zero?" Kaname asked innocently as he purred the waiter's given name. Zero shook more violently and gasped when Kaname decided to start rubbing his arm.

"N…nothing." Zero said too quickly which mad his heart skip a beat painfully.

"Are you sure? You're shivering." Kaname smirked, loving Zero's reactions.

"Kaname sama where here." The driver got out of the limo and walk around to the right said opening the door. Zero quickly scooted away from Kaname. His face still flushed. Kaname chuckled as he got out of the limo. When Zero got out he started to walk to Kaname, but driver stopped him.

"Sir, are you alright?" The driver asked concerned looking at Zero's flushed face. He even had goose bumps on his arms.

"He's fine. Right, Kiryu?" Kaname smirked. Zero stiffly nodded.

"I'm fin thanks for your concern though." The driver smiled politely and bowed. He was a very old noble class Vampire. Even though he knew Zero was human he didn't mind that his master found interest in him. What could he do about it anyway with such old bones, and besides, he's been driving Kaname since he was a baby so he knew what was best for him. The driver got back into the limo and drove off. He was happy for his master's happiness. Kaname never seemed this energetic when he was with that one crazy chick Souen san was it? He didn't care all he knew was that she wasn't right for Kaname sama, but that young silver haired male seemed fitted for Kaname he had to admit.

***********

"Let's get on that one." Zero dragged Kaname along. They had already been there for an hour. They had gotten on four dizzy rides that Kaname didn't like that much, he felt light headed after everyone.

"How about we eat something? Aren't you getting hungry?" Kaname offered instead. Zero turned to him and nodded with a beautiful smile. Kaname felt so live with the waiter around he loved being with him more than anything. He realized that when they were in his apartment.

"You sir, step right up!" Both Kaname and Zero looked away from each other to the voice in front of them.

"Me?" Kaname asked. The round man nodded waving them over to his stand. They looked at each other before walking up to the stand.

"Yes you! Congratulations you are the 100th person to walk pass my stand! You know what that means?" The man asked with his unnecessary loud excited voice rising over the random circus music. Kaname looked at Zero for an answer, but Zero only shrugged so Kaname shook his head.

"It means you get a free stick of Cotton Candy!" The man cheerfully handed Kaname a big thick web of Cotton Candy on a long thick stick. Kaname looked at it, then looked at the man.

"Thank you." The man nodded. Kaname and Zero began to walk again. Zero watched Kaname in amusment as the burnet looked at the colorful cotton like substance in confusion.

"You eat it." Zero smiled. They both stopped walking. Zero found it cute that the Burnet never had Cotton Candy before.

"How?" Kaname looked at it harder as if a fork or something would pop out of nowhere.

"With your fingers, just rip off a piece and put it in your mouth. It dissolves if you leave it in your mouth long enough. Your fingers might get sticky though." Zero added as an afterthought. Kaname didn't want his fingers to get sticky. Zero sighed as Kaname continued to stare at the candy. Zero reached out and plucked off a piece of the cotton. Kaname looked at Zero in wonder.

"It's good. Try some." Zero held it up to Kaname's lips. He didn't want to eat it himself withought the burnets permission. He decided to just feed Kaname one piece. Kaname opened his mouth obediently but only parting them slightly. Zero pointed finger slide in only pass his lips. He started to pull out quickly when he was sure the Candy was in his mouth but Kaname caught his finger in between his teeth and lips trapping it. Zero's eyes widen when Kaname began to nibble on his finger.

"K….Kuran." Zero protested blushing madly. Kaname ignored him and began to suck on Zero's finger lovingly. He could feel the cotton dissolve making his mouth water. He purposely moaned to see Zero's reaction and because the taste of the cotton was sweet.

The moan sent a vibration through his finger making him shudder. He could feel everything like how Kaname's lips worked up and down slightly, his tongue flicked the tip of his finger then caressed the button side of his finger lightly. It was all so suggestive. Zero couldn't take his eyes away from the delicious sight before him. His heard thudded painfully making it someone hard to breath. Kaname smirked deciding that it was enough before he did something to the waiter that would make him never go home to Ruka again. Zero quickly pulled his finger out when Kaname let go. He couldn't believe he acted like that just from Kaname sucking on his finger.

Kaname loved it. Zero was so responsive. He wondered what Zero's reactions would be if he was actually sucking on a more privet area. Kaname shivered at the thought. They looked at each other for a while longer. Zero face flamed red.

"Um so that's how you eat it." Zero mumbled in conclusion. He looked around as some people turned their heads quickly trying to pretend they didn't see anything. A small group of school girls walked by, giggling. Kaname watched in amusement as Zero glared at them. Kaname didn't care if people started to jump to conclusion.

"Let's try that." Kaname gestured to the stand with a lot of stuffed animals, and a single game you had to win in order to get one. They both walked to the stand. The man behind instantly introduced the game to them. All they had to do was throw a certain color ring around the same color of the needle.

"Kiryu can you hold this for me?" Kaname asked gesturing towards the colorful Cotton Candy. Zero took it from Kaname. The game was only 3 tokens. They had already gotten them before they entered the fair. Zero watched him as he began to play. He picked up the first purple ring and threw it at the purple needle. After it made it Kaname went through the Blue, red, and finally green making them all. The loud ding sound indicated that the game was over and he had won.

"Congratulations you win a prize. What would you like?" Kaname looked at all the stuffed animals and decided on the cat. The man gave it to him with a big smile. Kaname thanked him and turned to Zero.

"This is for Rose. You promised to get her something when you got home remember? Kaname gave the stuffed cat to Zero.

"Thank you, kuran. I'll be sure to tell her that you won it for her." Zero half joked. He was moved that the burnet thought of Rose. He really respected the Burnet for that. Kaname gave the man 3 more tokens.

"You're playing again?" Zero asked slightly surprised Kaname liked it that much.

"There's something I want to get." Kaname answered while smirking at Zero. He raised his eyebrow in suspicion. Once again Kaname won easily.

"Congratulations, you win again pick anything you like." The man winked at Kaname while licking his bottom lip slowly obviously flirting with the burnet. Zero gritted his teeth. For some reason the sight of the man flirting with Kaname really made him angry.

"I will take the wolf please." The man handed it to Kaname but purposely let his hand touch the burnets. Zero growled lowly not even realizing he did it. Kaname knew what the man was doing and he knew Zero was getting angry so he got an idea. Kaname turned to Zero again.

"Here you go Kiryu." Kaname took the candy back and handed the stuffed wolf to Zero.

"You're giving another one to Rose?" Zero asked while looking at the wolf. Zero really liked this one. He brought his attention back to Kaname when he heard him chuckle. Kaname leaned down and whispered in Zero's ear.

"I'm giving this one to you." He confidently licked the waiter's earlobe nibbling on it, breathing hotly. Zero moaned lowly. His ears were very sensitive. That seemed to have brought Zero out of Kaname's trance as he pushed him away, blushing like crazy. Kaname loved Zero's reactions. God it was delicious how responsive he was. Kaname smiled as the man behind the counter decided to leave him alone now. They continued walking through the fair with a pouting Zero and a happy Kaname.

**********

~Two hours later~

"Kaname stop its embarrassing." Zero protested as he yanked his hand away. Kaname smiled and kept his hand's to himself. Zero looked at him and sighed. He couldn't even stay made at Kaname. Zero's mind wondered back to a couple of minute ago when he won a stuffed fox for Kaname as a thank you, but Kaname kissed him on the cheek embarrassing him for the 20th time that night. He even told Zero that he would think of him every time he fell asleep with the stuffed fox.

"Hello you're the number one cutes couple I've seen all day. That means you get the couples special." The women cheerfully walked from behind the stand to Kaname and Zero stopping in front of them with her hands behind her back as if she was hiding something.

"But were not a……." Zero tried to protest but was interrupted.

"Please hold out the opposite hands to receive the couples special." The woman giggles. She wasn't listening to Zero at all.

"Come on Kiryu it want hurt anything." Kaname encouraged holding out his left hand.

"But were not……"

"You should listen to him." The lady added smiling non-stop. Zero looked at Kaname who smiled at him. Zero sighed in defeat holding out his right hand. The woman brought something silver from behind her back and cuffed it onto both of their wrist.

"Handcuffs!" Zero complained.

"You two have fun. Be sure to come back before closing so I can take them off." The woman ran back to her stand.

"Hey take these off now!" Zero was about to go over there and give that woman a piece of his mind but naturally Kaname stopped him.

"We can take them off afterwards like she said." Kaname reassured the waiter while pulling him along. Kaname wasn't worried because he could just us his telepath powers to unlock them anytime he wanted.

"Fine." Zero sighed. They walked until they reached the fairs wheel.

"Let's get on that." This time Zero pulled Kaname. Kaname was only too happy to follow the waiter. This also gave him an excuse to be close to Zero. Luckily they were the last two that needed to get in a cart. Kaname had to get in first because of the way there hands were cuffed. When Zero got in the red cart the man closed the door. Not too long later it began to move. This was the type of cart with tinted glass and one bar window with a door. Zero had to sit next to Kaname because the chain was short, so he couldn't sit on the other long cushion across from them. It was darker outside now but the light from the moon seeped through the window illuminating the cart inside so it was no problem for Zero to see. Kaname had vampire vision so it wouldn't have been a problem for him. Zero relaxed into the seat loving the slow movement as they began to go up. Kaname watched Zero from the Corner of his eyes. It made Kaname happy to see the waiter happy.

"Hey, kuran?"

"Yes?"

"You never did tell me how you fell in love with Souen San."

"I never fell in love with her." Kaname sighed finally getting out.

"Wh…what do you mean?" Zero asked, not sure if he heard right.

"I don't love her." Kaname stated simply.

"Then why do you want to marry her?"

"I don't. What we have is an arranged marriage." Zero eyes went wide, but he couldn't help but feel a little happy that Kaname wasn't in love with her after all then he felt guilty.

"I'm sorry Kuran I didn't know." Zero looked down guilty.

"Of course you didn't know. It's nothing you should apologize for." Kaname reassured. He thought this would be a good time to give Zero his gift he been holding out on all day waiting for the right.

"I have something for you." Kaname stated. Zero watched him as he dug through his pocket for his wallet with his free hand.

"Kuran you don't have to give me anything. You already gave me two things tonight." Zero tried to protest but Kaname only shook his head.

"Close your eyes Kiryu." Kaname pleaded. He put his wallet back and held something in his hand but out of Zero's view. Zero looked at Kaname a little longer before slowly closing his eyes with a sigh.

Kaname smiled. He couldn't resist, so first he leaned over and kissed Zero's cheek softly. Zero parted his lips letting out a shivery sigh.

"Kuran what is it?" Zero asked unsure. Kaname chuckled. He leaned back and held the item up in Zero's view.

"You may open your eyes now." Zero opened his eyes slowly. His eyes went wide when he realized what Kaname was holding. His eyes started to water but he refused to let the tears fall.

"Kuran how did you…….when did you …."

"Shhh, just take it." Kaname smoothed. Zero took his family photo from Kaname. It looked even better than before. It was a lot clearer. It was in one piece. You couldn't even tell that it ever got ripped in the first place. Zero didn't want to lose it so he put it in his wallet. He looked at Kaname again trying to hold back his sobs.

"Thank you so much. I don't know how I could ever truly thank you."

"It's alright. I'm happy as long as you're happy." Zero let them fall he couldn't help it. He couldn't believe Kaname would do something like this for him. Kaname reached up with his right hand that wasn't cuffed and smoothing away Zero's tears. Zero finally sobbed.

"Shhh." Kaname smoothed sweetly. Kaname's gentle words only made Zero sob again. Damn it He couldn't break down in front of him so he stuffed his face in the crook of Kaname's neck. Kaname smiled, rubbing the waiter quivering back as he fought to control his sobs. Kaname could feel the hot tears on his neck but he didn't mind. Zero thought of the only way to thank the burnet at the moment. He leaned back and looked up at Kaname in the eyes. Kaname looked down at Zero and smiled. His eyes were red and his cheeks were stained from tears. Zero smiled back at him.

"Close your eyes." Zero whispered hoping his voice wouldn't crack. Kaname closed his eyes without hesitation. Zero took a deep breath and leaned over. Their lips were so close that there breathing mingled. Kaname shuddered when he felt Zero's lips hovering over his but not touching. Zero licked his sudden dry lips and touched his with Kaname's closing his eyes. He shuddered when he felt Kaname's lips on his. He brought his arm up around Zero's neck pulling him closer wanting to taste Zero. The kiss turned deep when Kaname pushed him back against the wall by the door. Zero felt tingly all over again. He felt like butterflies were going crazy in his stomach. He brought his free hand up and threaded his fingers through the burnet's strands.

"Mmmmh." Zero moaned. Kaname licked Zero's bottom lip wanting access inside. Zero shuddered at the feeling and responded opening his mouth willingly. Kaname slid his tongue inside Zero's wet sweet mouth. Zero instantly moaned. Kaname probed around urgently tasting Zero. He was afraid that he would never get a chance like this again. He gently wrapped his tongue around Zero's caressing it lovingly, urging Zero to come out and play. He guided Zero into his suddenly wet hungry mouth.

Zero hesitated slightly. He slid his tongue inside playing with the burnet. Zero mouth watered even more. Oh god why did Kaname have to taste so good.

Zero drooled at the sweet nectar taste. He was quickly becoming addicted. It leaked down Zero chin. Kaname broke the kiss to scoop down and lick at his chin, suddenly hungry for everything Zero. He trailed down lower to the right side of Zero's neck trailing wet kisses from his jaw line down to the pulse throbbing in his neck. Zero unconsciously turned his head more to the side arching his neck. He gasped when Kaname started to suck, hotly adoring his neck slowly. Zero moaned, tightening his hold on the burnets strands. Kaname willed himself not to bit, but god it was so tempting. His blood smelled delicious. He nibbled on the flesh drawing it in between his teeth. Kaname's eyes widen when he tasted blood. His eyes flashed red. He closed his eyes and bit down a little while nibbling sucking harder.

"Ah K…Kaname." Zero blushed hotly realizing he used the burnets given name. Kaname moaned lightly in response.

"Say my name again Zero." Kaname pleaded huskily. The fireworks began to go off meaning the fair was coming to an end. The colors illuminated the cart dancing around and bouncing off the walls.

"Kaname." Zero whispered. They looked at each other longingly. Kaname smiled and dipped back down adoring Zero's neck thoroughly leaving him in a withering moaning mess. He had to stop him.

"Ka….name…stop before….you…leave …a mark." Zero struggled to say around all the moans and gasp he let out, unaware that the burnet was sucking his blood. Somehow Kaname ended up in between Zero's legs on his knees looming over him.

"Sorry." Kaname said while lapping up the blood on Zero's neck. He knew it was wrong to take the waiter's blood without his permission and without him knowing but he just couldn't help it. That was the first time he ever lost control like that. Kaname reached back up kissing Zero hungrily. Zero broke the kiss panting for air, face flushed. "What am I doing?! I can't do this. It's not far to souen san." Zero told himself. He pushed Kaname off him and sat correctly on the seat. They both straightened up. Zero turned his attention to the floor.

"I'm sorry." Zero apologized. Kaname looked at him then looked back at the window.

"You don't have to apologize."

"But you're engaged. I shouldn't have done that. It was wrong of me." Zero felt really guilty.

"I don't love her."

"I know."

They sat in silence watching the fireworks light up the sky. They relaxed a while later enjoying each other's company. Zero looked at the burnet beside him and realized something. He was falling for him, if not already.
