CHAPTER: To be jealous for the First Time
**************
"I got alive one. Hey are you okay kid?! Can you tell me your name? Keep your eyes open don't you dare die on me kid! Hey guys get the crow bar and help me move him!"
His vision swayed and all he could see was dots of jackets the color yellow. It smelled of ashes and smoke. He blinked and tried to clear his vision getting no improvement. His eyelids felt heavy with sleepiness. "Am I dead? I don't remember dying. I don't remember anything."He opened his eyes again, hearing someone yelling in his ear. It was so annoying and it was giving him a headache. He closed his eyes again, hoping the noise would go away.
Sadly the noise grew louder then came the tapping. He felt someone tapping his cheek, luckily they weren't actually slapping him because that would really give him a headache but still he was quickly getting annoyed. He grumbled and tried to swat the offending hand away but he realized he couldn't move his hand. Then the person actually slapped him because he wasn't responding. The man began yelling slightly in his ear again. He could feel his headache actually beginning to hurt. If only he had enough strength in him this guy would be out cold by now.
"I promise I want let you die!" Funny, he seemed like he was trying to kill him but he didn't hear the man's voice over all the sirens and other noises like rubble, walls caving in…WAIT, walls were caving! Where was he? He opened his eyes in alarm.
"Hey you okay? Were still trying to get you out of here, keep your eyes open nice and wide just like that okay?" He didn't respond but only stared up at the man in the bright yellow jacket. He could hardly make out the man's face but his vision was getting better.
"Alright pull!" The man hollered to the other as they worked on pulling a heavy wooden plank off the boy. His eyes snapped open wider as a wave of intense pain shot through his body. He screamed out, not being able to help himself.
"Aahh that hurts stop!" He sobbed. He didn't understand what was going on. Were these people here to hurt him? He was suddenly afraid.
The man from before came back to his side and tried to calm him down while the other men pulled the plank off. When the plank was off his upper body the man held him up in his arms as the man worked on getting it completely off.
"It's okay! We're here to rescue you. Do you remember what happened to start this fire?" Can you tell me your name?" It was weird because the only person he seemed to not understand was the man yelling in his ringing ear.
"What?" He managed to say weekly.
"Your name! What is your name kid?" The man looked down at the little boy in his arms, shaking him slightly to keep him awake.
He heard him that time but found out-"I don't remember my name."- He only looked at the man in horror. What happened to him? Who was he?
"What happen?" He asked in a weak whisper.
"First the fire then the fog came but don't you wary about it!"He hollered over the noise. "Fog? What is he talking about?"
It soon came clear to him that there was indeed fog all around him. "Well that explains part of my blurry vision." He knew the fog wasn't all the blame for his bad vision.
A strong gust of wind came followed by a heavy gust of wind. He couldn't see anything but he could hear walls falling and crumbling resulting in the floor to shake violently. He could hear people screaming in pain as the walls crashed on top of them and others falling through the floor.
"Let's move out! We got the boy that's all we need! Remember the mission!"
He felt the man lift him and carry him bridal style through the burning foggy house. The man coughed viciously as he began to make noises that sounded like he was having an asthma attack.
"Hold on kid!" The man wheezed out. The boy in his arms looked up at him with an unreadable expression. The man turned a corner and suddenly the top of the ceiling came crashing down in front of them. The man did a quick side step and maneuvered around it before the worst fell down. He ran as best as he could through the house making it to the closest exit which happen to be the front door.
He kicked the door down and ran out to the grassy ground and kept running until he reached a truck. It wasn't an ambulance truck though; it looked more like a top secret service truck/area 51 type thing. They laid him on a stretcher and loaded him in the back and closed the heavy, metal door. Suddenly there was a loud whoosh of wind followed by horrid screams.
"Let's move out!" Someone banged on the metal doors from the outside. The truck sped off going an incredible speed.
He noticed someone was in the back of the truck with him so he looked over to the man in black.
"Does it hurt?" The man with the black glasses asked, pointing to his own neck for instants. He didn't understand then mans question so he looked away. The man in black chuckled before turning his attention to the clip board in his hand, writing something down.
"You're a real brat kid." The man grumbled.
The boy ignored him as he let the truck take him away. He didn't care if the place he was being taken was unpleasant. He rocked slightly as the truck speed down the streets and turned corners sharply. He tried to remember who he was and what happened to him but he came up with planks. He thought harder on it though even if all he wanted to do was sleep. Then something clicked after another minute of thinking. He gasped and said something under his breath.
"What did you just say?" The man in black took off his glasses and looked at the boy on the table with surprise. The man looked familiar with that long wavy hair and that eye patch.
"My name is Kiyru Zero." Zero said louder as he studies the man closer. The man in black smiled brightly and nodded his head in approval.
"Yes, yes you are kid."
************
Zero eyes snapped open as he sat up in bad. He looked over at the nightstand and snatched the alarm clock off the top and turned it off. He sat it back down on the nightstand and sighed. Since it was Tuesday Zero knew he needed to start getting ready for work so he threw the sheets off his sweaty body and ran his fingers through his damp, unkempt hair.
He looked over at Rose who was looking at him strangely. He must have been talking in his sleep again.
"Morning Rose." He greeted her. She happily stood up on the bed and walked over to Zero waging her curly tail. As soon as she reached him she rolled over on her back obviously wanting her tummy to be rubbed. He rubbed her lightly a few times before deciding he needed to get moving.
"Sorry Rose but I have to go to work soon." He murmured with distaste as he patted her one last time before straightening up. He walked to his door but stopped short.
"Be gone before I get back." He said over his shoulder and went out the door and into the hallway. Zero walked a little down the small hall and opened the door on his left. Gently closing the door behind him and walked to the shower/tub and turns on the water, making sure he had more hot then cold. He began shedding his clothing allowing the articles to fall on the tile floor in a pile.
He stepped directly into the spray and sighed as the water seemed to massage his tense shoulder and erase some of the dream as it washed away his sweat.
He briefly remembered what Kaname told him last night. He basically confessed Zero but the waiter wasn't really sure if it was a confession or not.

Flashback
"I should go since you have to work tomorrow." Kaname stood outside Zero's door in the hallway. He had just brought them home from the park realizing he was keeping Zero out to late. He didn't want to leave but he didn't want to make the waiter oversleep and be late for work.
"Oh okay then. I had fun." Zero said awkwardly standing in the door frame. Rose was probable somewhere in the house dozing off and he wasn't sleepy so obviously he was going to be bored.
"I did too." Kaname smiled remembering the incident with the shower.
Even though they were basically saying their goodbye they both still stood in their same spots staring at each other. Zero had an attractive pink hue tinting his cheeks. It normally bothered him when others looked at him so he would glare at them but know that Kaname was looking at him he couldn't help but to blush.
"Zero. Can I come in for a while?" Kaname smiled as he brought his hand up and lightly stroked Zero's warm cheek. He couldn't stop himself from asking. Kaname could see Zero relaxing under his touch.
"Okay." Zero sighed pleasantly and stepped out of the way for Kaname to enter. Kaname walked into the familiar living space and turned back to Zero just as he was closing the door.
"Your home is very nice by the way." Zero looked up at Kaname with slight surprise.
"Thank you. This is the best I can do since I'm not rich like you and it's pretty small so there really isn't much to do with it considering the furniture is kind of big and…" Zero stopped himself abruptly. He was babbling because he was nervous. But what reason did he have to be nervous?
Kaname's smile never left his face as he chuckled. Zero was so adorable. Kaname had no idea why the silver haired beauty was single.
Zero averted his gaze and looked everywhere but Kaname's direction. Kaname walked closer to Zero and took his hand in his and pulled him along. They ended up sitting at the small dining room table with the long table cloth.
"I want to know more about you since I we didn't really talk about you much if that's okay." Kaname sat at the end of the table with Zero sitting on his direct right.
"What do you want to know?" Zero looked down at the table still not daring to meet Kaname's gaze.
"Simple things first like your favorite color."
"It's silver." Zero murmured still not looking at Kaname.
"That's a nice color. Are you allergic to anything?" Kaname tried to keep the questions simple and harmless.
"No I don't think so." Zero started to fumble with his fingers under the table. He didn't know why he was so nervous all of the sudden. Kaname knew Zero was nervous and he didn't want the waiter to be uncomfortable around him. He reached out under the table cloth and took Zero's hand in his.
"Are you alright Zero?" Kaname caressed his hand with his thumb. Zero finally looked up at Kaname and squeezed his hand lightly.
Zero didn't know much about his past and he didn't want to lie to Kaname or tell him that he lost his memory. What if Kaname didn't believe him and think that Zero was lying, he'd misunderstand and think that Zero didn't want to let him in but that wasn't true, Zero did want to let Kaname in. Zero pushed his nervousness away and smiled at Kaname.
"I'm fine I was just thinking. Tell me more about you." Zero tried to change the topic from him; he wanted to know more about Kaname anyway.
"What do you want to know?" Kaname mocked playfully. He was slightly surprise that the waiter changed the topic from himself all of a sudden.
"What's your favorite color?" Zero countered back. Kaname smirked, he was glad that Zero didn't seem nervous anymore.
"My favorite color is either red or black."Kaname released Zero hand and settled it on Zero's thigh making small rubbing motions going a little higher each time.
Zero gasped but pretended not to notice although the hot blush on his cheeks gave him away.
"D…Do you like to read?" Zero voice shook slightly.
"Yes I enjoy reading a lot." Kaname smirked. He could feel Zero's thighs quivering under his palm.
"What genre do you p…prefer?" Zero gasped as Kaname rubbed his thigh in an intimate fashion.
"I mostly read literature I find it most interesting." Kaname almost purred at Zero's reactions. Zero breath started to quicken as Kaname got closer and closer to a very private area.
"When did you start playing the piano?" Zero's voice hitched slightly. Kaname seemed to be thinking about. Zero tried to inch away from Kaname's distracting hand.
"Hmm probable when I was seven but it was so long ago I hardly remember." Kaname became distracted as he watched Zeros beautiful face as he made those adorable expressions.
"Kaname." Zero gasped as Kaname ghosted over his clothed, semi aroused member.
"Hmm?" Kaname asked innocently.
Zero was embarrassed and he knew Kaname loved embarrassing him. He could feel the heat rush to his face and…other places. He quickly grabbed Kaname's hand and tried to control his breathing.
"Are you alright Zero?"
Zero glared at Kaname and released his hand and stood up. The chair mad an irritated scrap sound as the waiter pushed the chair back.
"Bastard." Zero murmured as he walked to the couch to sit down. Zero wasn't really angry at Kaname for what he just did and that scared him. He didn't let those perverted bastard molest him and get away with it-usually. But he seemed to be making an acception for Kaname. Zero bit his bottom lip in a thinking gesture.
Kaname stood and followed Zero into the living room and sat down next to him but not to close. He didn't want to scare the waiter and make him nervous again. He didn't know why he couldn't keep him hands off the waiter and he felt guilty for not being able to control himself.
"I apologize Zero." Kaname put his head down in shame.
"Kaname you can't keep doing things like that to me. Your getting married soon, remember?" Zero reminded the brunet who seemed to keep forgetting. Kaname had told him why he had to get married to Ruka and he understood that there was no way Kaname was going to fall for her but still, Zero believed in marriage and commitment.
"I know. It's just that every time I'm around you I can't stop myself from wanting to be closer to you, to touch you, to learn about you." Kaname wasn't embarrassed about what he was saying. He already concluded that he was in love with the waiter and it wasn't a crush type of love either. Kaname was one hundred percent sure that he wanted the waiter in more ways than one.
Zero looked at Kaname and smiled knowingly. He felt the same way. When he was around Kaname he was never himself. He expressed his feeling a lot more, he said things he would never say to anyone else, and all he wanted was to be closer to Kaname but it was impossible.
Zero sighed again and bit his lip. His fingers gripped the edge of the couch and he looked down to his lap.
"If I didn't have to go to work in the morning I would ask you to stay over, you know, just to hang out because it gets lonely here without another person." Zero murmured with a blush on his warm cheeks.
Kaname chuckled and nodded his head.
"I know what you mean."
"But don't tell Rose I said that." Zero joked, finally looking up at Kaname. Kaname chuckled and nodded his head again.
"I'll try not to." Zero sighed dramatically as if it were a hug relief. Kaname chuckled and they both sighed, glad that the air didn't feel so stiff anymore.
Suddenly an hour flew by without either noticing as they engaged in conversation.
"Oh I forgot to ask you if he wanted anything." Zero got up and headed to the kitchen. Kaname shook his head with a smile on his face. He got up to follow to other male.
"Zero its fine I don't need anything."
"How about this?" Zero held up the bottle of red wine. He remembered Kaname ordering it at the restaurant but that's not the reason he bought it. He also knew it wasn't a good idea to be drinking wine this late. Kaname seemed to hesitate for a while.
"Alright." Kaname gave in. Zero sat it on the counter and opened the wooden cabinets to retrieve two wine glasses. The cabinet door closed with a click. He handed one to Kaname who kindly accepted it, Zero put his on the counter to open the plug on the wine glass. Zero held it over the sink and used the cork screw to pup the top off. It easily popped off and foamed down the bottle for a while.
Zero smiled in triumph. That was his first time opening a bottle of wine.
They walked back into the living room and sat down on the comfortable cushions. This time they sat closer to each other as Zero filled Kaname's glass first then his own.
Zero wasn't a drinker but he did want to find out what red wine tasted like-wine in general. He watched Kaname swirl it around in the glass so he did the same. Kaname noticed this and chuckled.
"Zero, have you ever drunk wine before?" Zero shook his head in embarrassment.
"Go on and try it." Kaname encouraged.
Zero sniffed the aroma and grimaced. It didn't smell bad or anything it was just that he never smelled something like it before. He put the glass up to his mouth and tilted the glass taking a small sip.
"How is it?" Kaname questioned anxiously.
Zero seemed to be thinking for a while. He looked at Kaname and nodded once.
"It's kind of strong." Zero made a cute pouty face as he grimaced at the glass in his hand.
Kaname laughed with a beautiful smile plastered on his face. He couldn't help it. Everything about the waiter was so new to him and he absolutely loved it. Zero felt like kicking Kaname like a child but he resisted.
"It's not funny." Zero said instead as he tried his best to glare at Kaname. Kaname cleared his throat and looked at Zero with an apology.
"Sorry. Try it again." Kaname couldn't manage to keep the smile off his face.
Zero took another sip but this time longer than the other. His eyes widen slightly as he looked at Kaname.
"It's different, less strong." Kaname nodded his head once.
"You will get use to it." Kaname started to drink his own glass so Zero did the same.
Kaname put his almost empty glass on the small wooden table. Zero's brows pulled together as he sat his down also.
"I don't think I like wine very much." He concluded. How did people drink this stuff?
"It's not for everyone." –Kaname reassured-"Thank you for the wine Zero."
"No problem." Zero said awkwardly. They just stared at each other for a while, not knowing what do next. Zero blushed under Kaname heated gaze and began to fidget again. He bit his bottom lip as Kaname kept staring at him with –longing?- in his eyes.
Rose waltzed her way into the living room over to the couch. They didn't even notice her as they continued to stare at each other. Rose walked closer to the couch and accidently stepped onto the remote that was carelessly lying on the floor.
Their attention snapped to the television as the screen flickered to life, giving off a fuzzy sound at first as the audio popped on.
"Kiss him! Kiss him!" The people on the live TV show cheered a girl on to kiss the guy next to her.
Zero blushed and grabbed the remote off the floor, glaring at Rose and straightened back up to change the channel.
"Kiss me James." An old 1890's romantic movie was playing.
Zero grumbled and changed the channel again.
"I only have one last dying wish." A woman appeared to be lying on a hospital bed dying.
"I'll give you anything you want Kiya."The man gripped her hand tightly.
"Kiss me one last time?" She whispered out.
Kaname chuckled as Zero turned the TV off completely, blushing madly.
"I think… my TV is broken." Zero laughed nervously.
"We can do something else then." Kaname smiled. He knew the TV wasn't broken or anything. It was just a coincidence that everything Zero turned to; everyone seemed to be engaging in a kiss. It amused Kaname.
"Like what?" Zero couldn't think of anything else to do. He had card games like UNO and regular cards but he didn't think Kaname would want to play. He only had them because Kross would ask Zero to watch Yuki for a little while. They lived on the fifth under Zero; even though Yuki was old enough to stay at home by herself she had a tendency to wonder outside. She was a year younger than him for crying out loud.
Kaname scooted closer to him and put his hand flat on top of Zero's.
"I'm not sure. How about something that involves using these?" Kaname brought his free hand up and traced Zero's lips with his thumb.
"Y…you mean like talking?" Zero wasn't naïve he knew what Kaname meant and he wanted too but he promised himself at the park that he wouldn't do anything sexual with Kaname again. He had to lose all interest in Kaname for Ruka's sake. Zero knew he wasn't ever going to be able to lose interest in Kaname but he had to try. The only problem was that Kaname wasn't making it easy for Zero.
"No. Guess again." Kaname was toying with Zero.
Zero always wondered what it would be like to have someone that you loved love you back. He wasn't sure if the person he loved loved him back but he did want to find out.
"Kissing?" Zero breathed out. Kaname smiled in approval.
"Is that your final answer?" Kaname leaned over to Zero with his lips ghosting over the waiters.
Zero couldn't move. His eyes were half lidded in a dreamy state as Kaname's lips seemed to want to draw Zero in. He knew this was wrong but he wanted it so bad. Should he be selfish and allow Himself this or should he be fair and tell Kaname he couldn't allow this to happen? Zero was confused!
"Yes but…"
"I know. You're going to remind me about Ruka and tell me we shouldn't do this because I'm getting married. I know that but I can't help myself Zero. I have to be honest with my feeling."Every time Kaname moved his lips they would touch Zero's ever so often.
"Your feelings?" Zero voice came out sounding breathless as he unconsciously leaned in to Kaname.
"I like you a lot Zero."Kaname touched his lips to Zero but pulled back slightly in a teasing manner. Zero was really confused now.
"I like you too Kaname." But Kaname shook his head.
"The kind of –like- I'm referring to goes beyond friendship."Kaname tried again. Zero still didn't understand. Did Kaname mean he liked him as a brother or did he mean he liked him as a trusted best friend? Kaname couldn't mean what Zero desperately wanted him to mean. More than a friend as in boyfriend or lover? Why couldn't Kaname make it clear?
"Kaname." Zero blushed. He didn't know what to say because he wasn't sure what he meant.
They both weren't ready to tell each other that what they were feeling for one another was indeed love.
Without warning Zero crashed his lips to Kaname's. Kaname was slightly surprised but melted in to the kiss as he closed his eyes. He wasn't sure if Zero understood what he meant but there was plenty of time to try again.
Kaname laced his fingers through Zero's silver hair and brought his other hand down to grip the waiter's hip.
"Mmmh." Zero moaned as Kaname rubbed his sensitive scalp and kissed him passionately.
Zero shuddered when Kaname started to nibble on his bottom lip- teasing him. Zero knew he was blushing because his face and neck felt hot as the blood rushed to his face.
He had to stop this. Zero really didn't want to but this was wrong! It was wrong of him too be enjoying this, it was wrong of him to allow this, and it was wrong of him to try and take Kaname from Ruka.
Kaname felt Zero pulling away. He couldn't allow that to happen so he forced his tongue between Zero's slightly plumped, damped lips. Zero began to squirm for a while, trying to get out of Kaname tight grip. Kaname knew Zero wanted this as much as he did so he didn't stop. He stroked his tongue against Zero's suggestively, he could feel Zero weakening as his struggling seized. Zero melted into Kaname's arms, he couldn't even remember why he tried to pull away in the first place.
Kaname pulled Zero's hair, not too gently as he brought Zero's face higher for a better angel to make the kiss deeper.
Zero moaned from the rough treatment as he wrapped his arms around Kaname's neck bringing him down, closer. Kaname growled and pushed Zero on his back, not breaking the kiss. He knew he was letting his control slip but he couldn't help it.
Kaname hovered above Zero. He enjoyed the way Zero was withering under him in bliss and the way his unsteady fingers gripped his hair.
The kiss became heated and Zero's mouth began to water from Kaname's action. Kaname loved Zero's warm, wet mouth, it drove him crazy. Zero was having a hard time trying to keep from moaning but ever so often one would slip.
Kaname slide his hand under Zero shirt exploring his toned abs and well built chest. Zero's stomach quivered under Kaname's wondering, delightful hand. Kaname tweaked a harden nibble causing Zero to gasp breaking the kiss with a thin connection of saliva which snapped soon after.
"Kaname m…maybe where t…taking thing to fast." Zero said between gasps and moans as Kaname continued to play with his nipple.
"I think this is a wonderful pace." Kaname murmured as he latched on to the non tattooed side of Zero's neck. He nibbled the flesh between his teeth not daring to bite as he sucked the skin lightly.
"K…Kaname." Zero moaned as he turned his head giving Kaname more room unconsciously arching up into Kaname's touch.
Kaname's phone picked that moment to ring/vibrate in his pocket, however, Kaname ignored it. He leaned back up and connected his lips to Zero's slightly quivering damped ones.
"Mmmh." Zero withered under Kaname in pleasure. His fingers found their way to the hem of Kaname's shirt as he brought it up exposing the creamy flesh underneath. He felt Kaname's muscle on his back ripple as if he was trying to stay in control of himself. Zero's thumb slid over a hard nipple. It was Kaname's turn to gasp in surprise breaking the kiss.
"Zero." Kaname looked down at the waiter. Zero was adorable with that hot blush of his. Kaname wanted so bad to take the waiter right then and there but he knew Zero wouldn't allow it and he knew he shouldn't but it was tempting.
Zero eyes were glazed over with want. He was built up with so much sexual tension and he was practically screaming for release.
Zero looked up at Kaname. He needed to tell him that he loved him even if it wasn't going to change anything.
"Kaname i…"
Kaname's phone rang again-cutting Zero off. They didn't even hear it when it stopped ringing the first time.
"Y…you better get that. It might be your fiancée." Zero looked away from Kaname, blush never leaving his face.
Kaname took Zero's chin and turned his face back to his before leaning down and kissing him sweetly, slowly, soundly on the lips.
When they parted Zero was out of breath as his chest rose and fell quickly. Kaname hated himself for doing this but he took the phone out of his pocket and answered it.
"This better be damn important."
"I'm sorry Kaname sama but your fiancée called me because you weren't picking up your phone. She wants you home." The driver was still in the car outside waiting for Kaname to come back down. He would have waiting all night even morning if he had to. He could hear Kaname sigh through the other end and he truly felt sorry for the young pureblood.
"Very well, I'll be down soon." Kaname pressed the end button and shoved his phone back into his pocket. He looked down at Zero and sighed with irritation.
"Sorry Zero but I have to go." Kaname said as he got off of Zero and stood up, straitening his clothes. He offered Zero a hand but the waiter refused it. Zero stood up by himself and fixed his shirt. Kaname cursed Ruka in his head over and over. Kaname was a pureblood so he could have said no but he had to help Ruka pick colors, flowers, lights, cake, guest, his men of honor, the ring bear, all for his wedding that he wanted no part of.
"Well then see you tomorrow?" Zero asked shyly.
"Yes. I will come pick you up." Kaname followed Zero quietly to the door. Zero opened it and moved out the way so Kaname could go through. Kaname stepped into the hallway and turned back to Zero.
"Bye Kaname." Zero said quietly with a small smile. Kaname smiled back and nodded his head.
"Bye Zero." And with that they parted.
End of Flashback
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Zero blushed from the memory and leaned down to turned off the shower water. The water dripped off his nose as he sat there for a while thinking-just thinking as he stared at the shower handles. It was true, Zero was confused. He didn't understand why he fell for Kaname-another male. He wasn't gay but was he gay for Kaname? Did Kaname like him back the way Zero liked him?
He sighed straightening up while rubbing his hair with the palm of his hand.
He got out and grabbed the towel off the rack and wrapped it around his waist tucking the corner in tightly.
He shivered when he opened the door as his skin was exposed to the cold air in the house. He walked back down the hall to his bed room and sat on the edge of the bed. He grabbed the other towel off the bed and dried his hair with it. Making sure Rose wasn't in the room he stood and walked to his closet grabbing a white collared shirt and black slacks.
He came out of the closet and went to his drawers to retrieve a pair of ordinary white socks and a pair of silver boxer short.
He dropped his towel and slipped on his under garment, soon followed by his black slacks.
He continued to dress himself unknowingly as his thoughts took another turn on him. What were these dream's he kept having. It was strange because every time he had another dream it seemed to be continuing from the previous one.
These dreams had a connection, almost like memories but skipping minor details. That left Zero wondering if these dreams were indeed his lost memories that he couldn't recall.
Without realizing it, he was fully dressed and was heading for the door. He stopped briefly to say his goodbyes to Rose. He grabbed a hooded jacket since it was sprinkling outside.
As he rode in the elevator , he tried to shake off his uneasiness and focus on today's schedule; go to work, Get harassed, work over time, go home by either transportation or walking, take a shower, get dresses, wait for Kaname, go to his house, listen to the brunette play, and get yelled at by Ruka. It was perfect so Zero took a deep breath as the elevator reached the lobby. The heavy doors clicked open and Zero stepped out to start his day. Boy was he was in for a big surprise.
*************
Kaname walked up the long narrow stair to his room after having a frustrated 'party planning session' with Ruka and Ichijou. He lazily walked up the stairs step by step.
-
-
_
During the party planning, Ruka had asked him about his 'business meeting' He had told her that everything went well but then she asked him why Ichijou didn't go -Takuma was his manager after all. Ichijou tried to help his friend but Ruka blew up and started yelling. She told Kaname that she knew he didn't go to a business meeting. She demanded he tell her where he went. Kaname's head was pounding; he just wanted to get away from the noise. He cleared his throat and announced that he would retire for the night. Ichijou understood and asked Kaname if he needed anything. Kaname refused his offer politely and left the room.
Both Ruka and Ichijou flinched from the purebloods bad aura that promised death if anyone chose to disturb him.
-

_
Finally reaching the top of the stair's he walked slowly down the long, elegant hallway. He felt lonelier then ever and felt he was missing something. He sighed as he reached the twin double doors at the end of the hallway. He opened the heavy doors -that weren't heavy to him at all- and stepped inside the large, dark room closing the doors silently behind him. He walked to his large bed and lifted his shirt over his toned abs, well defined chest and pulled it over his broad shoulders. He threw the shirt on the bed but it landed on the edge and slide to the floor. Kaname paid no mind to the shirt and unbuckled his belt and pulled it from its loops allowing it to hit the floor. He slide off his slacks leaving his black boxers on and climbed into bed under the crimson, silk covers.
His dark blinds were closed tightly not allowing any light to pass through. His canopy bed was open so he decided to keep it that way for tonight.
He exhaled deeply and stared up at the dark ceiling. He wasn't really sleepy he was just irritated. He rolled to lie on his stomach and turned his face to the side. It didn't feel right without the waiter sleeping snuggly in his arms.
He found himself thinking about the times he spend with the waiter and realized that it was the best times he ever had in his entire life. How could that be? One weekend with the waiter and his life changed almost completely. Kaname really did see a lot in the waiter; the possibilities of a promising future with him, only he wasn't sure how Zero truly felt about him. Did he only see him as a friend and nothing more? Sure, Zero said he liked Kaname a lot as well but that could mean something completely different from what Kaname was trying to express. He had to ask himself; was it just mutual? No. Did he feel right, complete around the waiter? Yes. This was how Kaname felt but how did Zero feel. He wasn't opening up, every time Kaname tried to get to know the waiter more, he would change the subject. Maybe he wasn't ready to let Kaname in. Maybe he needed more time or maybe he just didn't want to be close to the brunet at all.
Kaname scooted to the edge of the bed and opened the little drawer on the side of his bed and pulled something out. He settled back into bed and brought the fox up to eye level. The stuffed animal wasn't really small but it wasn't really big either so it was a perfect medium sized creature.
He felt bad about having to keep it in a drawer but he had to hide it from Ruka's prying eyes somehow.
He sniffed it but was disappointed because it no longer carried the waiters scent but still he took comfort in it and wrapped his arms around the fox. He began to doze off lightly as he tried to forget about his confusion for a while.
Kaname smiled feeling a little better as he snuggles with the fox, though it would be a whole lot better snuggling with a certain silver haired waiter. He absently remembered Zero tasting his first glass of wine; he chuckled from the memory and shook his head slightly. He knew he knew he probable sounding like a love sick puppy but he couldn't help it and honestly, he didn't care.
At first Kaname was afraid because he thought that- since Zero was going back to work they wouldn't spend time together anymore-he was glad to be wrong about that. He liked spending time with the waiter maybe more then he should.
Kaname sighed, he kept thinking about Zero. Maybe he was getting way over his head. But every time he thought of Zero or was with him, it was like a giant weight lifting off his shoulders. It felt right.
In the past he had asked Ichijou if it was wrong of him to feel the way he did. Was he just going to hurt himself in the end, if Zero rejected him? He still wasn't sure what he should do.
Kaname turned to lid on his back with his right arm wrapped around the fox on his side.
These feeling were new to him; confusion, hesitation and-love. He didn't know what to do with them and it was driving him insane.
Should he just confess-like really confess? Should he keep his feeling bottled up inside and just stay as Zero's friend and nothing more? Well, he couldn't because that would be selfish, he couldn't ignore his instincts and stay silently by Zero's side as his friend when he felt so much more than that. But he couldn't confess because his bride wouldn't allow rejection.
Kaname curled into a ball on his side with the fox against his chest. He could hear the soft rain sprinkling outside and the wind blowing gently, freely.
Kaname finally fell asleep after a long while. He dreamed of the waiter because that was all that was on his mind.
He was at the park, in his dream. Zero laid by his side, he looked happy and livid which mad Kaname deeply happy. He didn't feel lonely. Out of nowhere the dream was filled with Zero lullaby.
Kaname muscles relaxed as Zero's beautiful voice filled his senses. He could feel his guard slipping as he was suddenly overcome with calmness and relaxation.
Even in his mind Zero's lullaby pulled him into a much deeper sleep.

Down the hall to the room on the right, Ruka was busy putting on her special sleeping gown-lingerie. She brushed her hair several times gently and put on a thin layer of lipstick. Next she put a coating of blush on her cheek. She checked herself in the mirror twice before scooping up the silky robe, sliding it on and going to the normal sized door. She opened the door slowly. She wasn't afraid to disturb Kaname. He was her fiancé for crying out loud!
She stepped out into the hallway bare foot and gently closed to door behind her. She walked further down the hall to the giant double doors at the end. Ruka smiled as she opened one of the doors and closed it gently behind her. She confidently and slightly crept inside, quietly creeping across the room and tiptoed to the bed that laid her slumbering fiancée.
**************
"You're two minutes late brat!" Yagari explained as he pointed to the clocked.
Zero sighed as he finished clocking in.
"What the big deal?" He walked passed his boss and headed for the back, were his black, waist apron awaited him. Yagari followed closely behind him.
"It's a big deal when you got a full house of hungry customers." Zero scoffed at that.
"Don't you mean a full house of perverted, rich costumers hungry for a piece of the waiter's ass?"
Yagari exhaled dramatically.
"Just get ready, damn kid."
"Sure thing boss." Zero said sarcastically as he opened his locker to retrieve his necessary work items and hung up his damped jacket. Yagari eyes twitched in annoyance.
"I need to have a very important talk with someone in my office so please don't get into any trouble."
"Yeah, yeah." Zero drawled out and quickly tied on his apron, he turned around just in time to see his boss storming down the small hallway.
Zero rolled his eyes and shut the locker door closed. He walked lazily through the hall to the front. He was just about to get to work when someone screamed out his name in a hipper voice.
Zero turned to the voice and smiled slightly.
"Yuki what are you doing here?" He watched her as he ran up to him and jumped up throwing her arms around him. He coughed her on instinct.
"Oh Zero I missed you so much." Yuki gave his neck a tight squeeze before she kissed his forehead with a 'smooching sound.'
"Y…Yuka let go." Zero tried to pull her off. She giggled and released her grip. Zero put her back on her own two feet and scrubbed at his forehead with the back of his sleeve.
"What are you doing here? I thought you only had to work on the weekends."
"Not anymore!" She happily squealed. Zero eyes widen.
"Why is that?" He was happy they were working together again but what made Yagari change his mind? He was so final about the new arrangement having of having Yuki work on the weekends and having Zero work week day. They were his star pupil, his best employees and he needed one to work Weekends and one to works weekday so he could be sure he would always have a good work day no matter what.
"My dad talked our boss into letting me work weekdays again!" She happily cheered while getting some attention from others around them.
Oh so that's why. Yagari would do almost anything for that damn happy Kross.
"He's talking to him right now in his office." Yuka added as an afterthought.
Oh kami! Zero really didn't want to think about what they were doing.
"Glad to have you back Yuki." Zero smiled. Yuki smiled bigger and grabbed Zero's hand. "Let's get to work Zero!"
She secretly had a crush on Zero. It was more than a crush actually. She remembered the first time she laid eyes on Zero and she knew he was the one.

It was 11 years ago when Zero first came into her life. Zero was eight at the time. He was with Yagari, outside playing at the park.
She was playing alone as her father sat on the bench watching over her. He told her one of his friends would be coming with his adopted son she could play with. Kross had announced their arrival but Yuki watched the boy for a while first. She never had seen someone so beautiful in her entire life. Then with sudden fear, she wondered-"What if he won't like me?" Never less, she sucked up some courage and puffed her cheeks out and stood up from then sand box, bravely marching over to the two.
They looked at her for a while, wonder why her cheeks were puffed out like that. She exhaled and cleared her throat.
"My name is Kross Yuki." She extended out a hand.
Zero looked at the hand then up at Yagari for answers. Zero was confused because he didn't know where they were and why there were so many children in one place. Yagari only told him to get dressed then they got in the car and here they were now.
"This is the young lady I was telling about. She's the daughter of one of my friends. Be nice to her okay?" Yagari nodded his head, indicating to the girls offering hand. Yagari patted Zero's head before walking over to a smiling Kross who gave him an energetic hug.
Zero looked back at the little girl in front of him that seemed to be blushing. He reached out his right hand and connected it with hers.
"I'm Kiryu Zero." Yuki smiled and pulled Zero alone to the sea saw. She sat on one end, expecting Zero to sit on the other end. When Zero didn't get on, Yuki looked at him with a question in her eyes.
"What's this?" Zero questioned, looking at the contraption with confusion.
"It's a sea saw." Yuki stated with slight surprise.
"What is it used for?" Zero raised an eyebrow. Yuki smiled showing all her teeth.
"For playing, sit on the other end." Yuki pointed to the other end. Zero hesitated but walked to the other end and sat on the flat, yellow surface.
The seat went up slightly and Yuki rocked down, making Zero go up. She giggled when Zero gasped in surprise. She kicked off the ground making Zero go back down.
"Kick off the ground Zero." Yuki called out, smile never leaving her face.
Zero did as he was told. Soon they were normally playing on the sea saw.
They played on other thing also but it took a while for Yuki to realize that something was wrong with Zero. He didn't seem to know much. He always would ask –"what's that?" and "How do you do that?"
But still she really liked him a lot. Over the next couple of weeks, he would sometimes come over with his adopted father and Rose to play with Yuki in her room.
Rose didn't like Yagari because when Zero moved in with him, Yagari told him he couldn't keep the damn dog. Kross talked him into letting Rose stay but a couple of weeks past and Yagari decided that he just couldn't take it anymore. He took her for a walk, far away, and let her off the leash and darted away, leaving the poor puppy alone and scared. When Yagari got back he told Zero she 'ran away.' But Zero knew better.
That night Zero faintly hared scratching noises coming from the front of the house. He got up from bed, sleepily, and walked to the front door. He listened closely and heard the noise again followed by whimpering. Immediately he threw the door open and looked down to see and exhausted, shivering Rose on the doorstep. Picking her up carefully, he brought her inside the warm house and took her into his bed room murmuring that everything was going to be okay.
He wrapped a fluffy towel around her and rubbed soothing circles on her back.
The next morning he raised hell, directed at Yagari. They got into a heated argument while Rose sat and watched.
Sooner or later Kross was called by one of the neighbors he knew that lived next to Yagari. They told him he should come down and stopped the argument before things got out of hand.
Kross ended up at Yagari house, scolding him for raising his voice to a child and for trying to get rid of Rose.
Months past by and they all began to notice changes in Zero. He started to get the hang of thing and stopped asking what everything was. He even outsmarted Yuki and past her level of knowledge in less than a month –considering his condition. Everyone including Yuki was shocked but the only problem was that he still couldn't remember his past.
Still Yuki really loved him and she was determined to get him to fall in love with her by any means necessary.

"Hello, my name is Yuki and this is my partner Zero. We will be your waiter's tonight!" Yuka sure wasn't shy. Yuki looked up at Zero's confused face.
"Yagari didn't tell you that a party was booked for today?" Yuki questioned.
"Hell no! Fourteen people?!" Zero exclaimed. That was another thing about Zero, he could look at a group of objects and be able to tell how many there were- in this case humans.
"Aw come on Zero it will be fun." She assured him. Zero sighed and gave up. What was the point? He had to do it because it was his job.
"Okay I will be your guy's waiter, Zero you take the other half. Seven people each." Zero sighed again and walked to his half, he started with asking all the kids what they wanted to drink but some people just don't listen do they?
"Hey mister, I want cake!" The little boy pouted.
"No cake until later I told you that already. Don't give me that look mister." Some women, apparently the child's mother, cut in.
"Fine, then can I have a big cheese burger and a lot of fries and orange juice?" The boy changed his mood like someone who was bipolar. Zero looked at the women unsure. She smiled and nodded her head. Zero shrugged and wrote it down, moving on to the next child.
"Oh, me next!" A little girl waved her hands franticly to get Zero's attention.
"Is it true you guys sell almost anything now?" The girl asked skeptically.
"Yes it's true so stop asking questions and order your food." The same women interrupted again and smiled at Zero. Zero felt uncomfortable under the woman's gaze. He turned his attention back to the little girl.
"I want spaghetti and meatballs with root beer." Zero wrote it down. These orders didn't go at all but they were kids after all. He moved to the next kid.
"I want pancakes, sunny side up eggs, fries, and lemonade with a lot of ice." Zero tried not to snort with disapproval so he wrote it down and continued down the line. These kids seemed to really like fries.
"Do you have the Hibachi, Teriyaki, and Teppanyaki style of cooking steak?" The next child with glasses asked politely.
Zero looked at the little boy and nodded already guessing what he wanted.
"Excellent, may I have the Teppanyaki steak including a side of steaming mashed potato and broccoli please and thank you." The boy finished while folding his hand in front of him.
Zero nodded slowly while looking at the kid. He never had seen such an elegant child. He wrote the order down and moved on.
"Can I have spicy shrimp with dipping sauce and a bunch of fries?"
"I want a big greasy burger and onion rings with a cup of sprit and no ice."
Zero wrote everything down quickly. He was sure he didn't miss anything. He wanted to throw up hearing all this crap. None of this food went together well at all-well some did but still, who allowed their children to stomach some of this he got to the awaiting mother.
"How about your famous Signature Cesar Salad?" Zero cringed slightly. That reminded him of Ruka when her and Kaname came to the restaurant for the first time and she had ordered the Signature Cesar Salad as well.
Zero grunted and wrote it done.
"How old are you sweetie?" The middle aged mother asked Zero while staring him up and down. Zero resisted the urge to puke. Was this woman hitting on him?
"Old enough to legally live on my own." Zero said instead. He didn't mind telling his age but he didn't want her to know anything about him, knowing he was a waiter was good enough.
"Touché." The women winked at him. Zero mad a face and cleared his throat.
"Will that be all?"Zero said loud enough for the children to hear. Everyone nodded and passed their menus to the silver haired waiter. He looked over to see Yuki struggling with writing everything down as the children freely said what they wanted without waiting for her to finish.
Zero wanted to help her but she always insisted that she could do it on her own and that she could handle any challenge that came her way. Zero knew that was just 'big talk' but he decided to let her have her.
She laughed nervously as everyone seemed to be saying mumbo jumbo. After everyone suddenly quieted down she blinked and looked around with an expression on her face as if to say "Why'd everyone stop talking?" Yuki looked down at her notepad and scratched the back of her head. She didn't get anything but scribble scrabble.
Zero watched her and shook his head. He told everyone their drinks will be here momentarily. He walked over to Yuki and tugged her by the arm gently.
"Come on Yuki." Zero pulled her away, walking to the front to hand over the orders.
"B…But Zero I didn't get anything." Yuki whined. Zero put the menus on the table and turned back to Yuki.
Zero sighed and took a deep breath before repeating the order to her of all seven of her customers.
"C…can you write it down?" She sobbed dramatically.
Zero snatched her pad from her and wrote down the orders with another sigh. He hung them up on the turning rack and turned back to Yuki.
"Happy?" She nodded like a child that finally got what they wanted.
"Thank you Zero." She hugged him loosely around the waist, nuzzling into his toned abs.
She liked the feeling and lingered there. Zero didn't react but he didn't push away either.
Zero knew she had some kind of crush on him but he didn't like her like that. They were just friends and not even the brotherly sister type of friends either. He didn't want to hurt her feelings by just blowing her off. Whenever she finally decides to tell him then he would kindly reject her.
She let go and smiled up at him showing all her teeth.
"Zero I need to tell you something." Yuki looked serious and a little nervous as she looked around slightly.
Zero stiffened up. He really hoped she wasn't about to tell him she liked him because he wasn't ready for it! He didn't want to hurt her feeling and especially since they were at work because that could result in unwanted attention and people would think he was some kind of jerk who goes around hurting little girls feeling. Never less Zero asked what it was she wanted.
"T…Today my dad and the boss are going somewhere important so I will be home by myself."
Zero raised an eyebrow, where was she going with this?
"And?" Zero prompted.
"Well, you know I tent to wonder so my dad's going to ask…"
"The party drinks are ready. Food's almost done." One of the chefs announced, cutting Yuki off. Zero and Yuki went to the window to pick up their separate circular trays.
They walked swiftly to the private sections that were only to be used for occasions like this. They walked quietly through the large opening hearing lot of children, loud as ever.
Yuki decided to tell him later.
"Thank you for waiting! Here are your drinks and the food should be done momentarily." Yuki happily handed everyone's drinks around giving them to the wrong person.
Zero sighed and shook his head at her. She looked at him and laughed nervously and switched them around. Zero shook his head again so she switched them again. Zero gave up and decided to allow them to switch their drinks back around on their own.
Zero handed everyone the right drinks and apologized for Yuki's miss up. She laughed, rubbing the back of her head nervously-a habit she had. They walked back up to the front with their empty tray.
"Yuki pay more attention next time." Zero complained. Yuki sighed and apologized. She only took this job because Zero had gotten a job here. They lived in the same apartment building; she was on the fifth floor directly under Zero.
"I'm sorry Zero." Yuki apologized again with a sighed. She was distracted because she was excited about what she needed to tell Zero but she was also really nervous.
They stood at the front, waiting for the food to finish.
"Zero I need to tell you something." Yuki rushed out-"My dad wants to ask you…"
"Kiryu Kun!" The happy voice could only belong to one person.
"Kross?" Zero said, slightly surprise, as Kross pulled him into a bone crushing hug.
"Kiryu Kun, I need a favor." Kross whined as he let the waiter go. Yagari appeared behind him with a slight blush tinting his cheeks. Zero raised his brow but didn't comment on it.
"This is what I have been trying to tell you Zero." Yuki joined in with a goofy smile on her face. Know Zero was really curious.
"Kiryu Kun, Yagari and I are going on a missi…um…out of town for a really important meeting." Kross looked at Yagari, apologizing for almost telling Zero about their mission –The hunters association called all the hunters in for a big meeting. Even if some people weren't hunters anymore, they still had to go. "I need you to take care of Yuki until we get back."
Zero's eyes widen in horror.
"When are you two leaving?" Zero asked slowly.
"In a couple of hours, sorry to tell you in such late notice but I just got the message from the boss." Zero felt all the blood drain from his face.
"And how long will this meeting take?" Zero already knew it was going to be long, just like the other times his adopted father and Kross left for a business meeting.
"About a week or two. You're going to have to take over the restaurant while I'm gone kid." Yagari stated with his arms folded across his chest.
"Can you put Yuki up until then starting tonight?" Kross asked anxiously. Zero sighed and looked at Yuki then to Kross and finally the man who had adopted him.
"Okay." Everyone knew Yuki couldn't live by herself. Even though she was a year younger than Zero, she just couldn't be trusted to live on her own.
"Thank you Zero. I promise I will be good this time." Yuki cheered.
The last time Zero had to put her up, she almost destroyed his home and she broke several items-not on purpose though. She didn't really get alone with Rose anymore either.
"The party order is done!" The man behind the window announced with the full trays of food. Zero rubbed his suddenly aching head. This was turning out to be a hell of a day and not in a good way.
****************
"That's the reason I came into your room Kaname." Ruka looked down to the floor.
They just spend almost an hour yelling back and forth. Kaname was alarmed when he felt another presence in his room. When Ruka saw the stuffed fox and knew that someone had to give it to Kaname, she completely threw a fit.
"You're telling me you have to leave tonight to fly to Paris?" Kaname raised a brow.
"I need to get my wedding gown tailored, remember?" Ruka reminded her fiancé, whom she was afraid of at the moment. "My bridesmaids are coming with me to get pampered for a full week or two." Ruka finished. She waited for Kaname to say something.
"Au revoir." Kaname finally said. (A/N: French for good-bye) He was upset that she can into his room and tried to molest him then throw a fit because he had a present someone gave to him. Ruka kneeled with one knee on the bed and tried to kiss the pureblood but he turned his face so her lips could connect to his check.
She sighed with irritation. Why couldn't Kaname just give her one kiss?!
"I'll miss you darling." Ruka hugged to pureblood. Kaname didn't react. He let her have her way this time though. "Don't forget to get your tucks fitted next Tuesday." She reminded him as she released him.
She walked to the door and blew a kiss to her fiancée and shut the heavy doors behind her.
Kaname finally let the breath out that he didn't know he was holding. Know that he was awake, he might as well get ready to go pick up the waiter. It was almost time for Zero to get off of work anyway.
***************
"You know the rules Yuki; don't touch anything, don't leave unless I leave, stay out of my things, don't try to cook, don't make any prank calls again, don't play in the hallway, don't try to sleep with me at night like you do with your father, sometime. Got it?" Zero explained as they walked through his apartment door. Yuki walked to the couch and sat he bags down.
"Got it!" She smiled brightly. Zero closed the door behind him and locked it. He couldn't believe he had to babysit a girl one year younger than him.
"Do you want anything?" Zero asked while walking to the kitchen. He didn't know about her but he was starving.
"Anything drinkable." He heard Yuki shout from the other room. Zero froze when he got to the kitchen; he still needed to go grocery shopping. He took a cup from the cabinet and filled it with cold water. He filled it with ice cubes and nodded to himself in satisfaction. Zero walked back into the living room and gave Yuki the cup to Yuki. It took a while for him to realize were she was sitting then his eyes went wide.
"Yuki, um…sit on the other couch." Zero didn't want her to sit on the same couch that he and Kaname almost…almost got carried away on. He knew he was being silly but that was the 'noddy couch' meaning; sexual things happened on that couch so know she was forbidden from that couch.
Yuki looked up at him and nodded slowly.
"Okay." She got up and plopped herself down on the smaller couch. "May I ask why?" She said with a course expression. Zero glared at her. Why so many questions?
"No, you may not ask why." Zero grumbled.
"Zero let's play UNO!" Yuki began to bounce up and down on the seat. Zero looked at the cup of water in her hand that was threatening to tip over.
"Be careful with that." Zero knew it was a bad idea to give her anything liquid related without a lid.
"Relax Zero." Yuki settled down and took a big gulp of her water. "That's better." She sighed.
Rose came into the living room and froze when she spotted Yuki. Yuki shrieked and jumped up on the sofa.
"Yuki get down." Zero complained. He didn't know where it when wrong with them two. Rose never had a problem with Yuki when they were younger so why know. Sure, Yuki never really liked Rose that much because she was afraid of her but they still got alone. Maybe, overtime they just decided to stop trying to like each other.
Rose growled loudly and barked as Yuki began to move around on the couch.
"Zero save me!" Yuki cried out dramatically as she jumped on the other cushion.
"You're going to spill that." Zero rushed over to Yuki and tried to take the cup from her. Yuki tried to put her arms around Zero's neck so he could carry her but Rose saw it as her trying to harm her precious owner. Rose ran full force to Yuki who panicked and sent the water flying to Zero.
The next thing Zero knew, he was wet from his head to his neck. Yuki somehow managed to spill some of the water on herself as well.
"My shirts all wet!" Yuki cried. She hated wet clothes.
"Rose, go to the room." Zero pointed to his room in dismisses. Rose obliged but as she passed Yuki she seemed to have glared at her. Yuki cringed slightly.
"Her put this on while I go take a quick shower." Zero sighed and unbuttoned his shirt. Yuki eyes glued to his chest as his muscles rippled from him taking his arms out of his sleeves.
"I don't want you to get sick or anything." Zero handed her the dry shirt and walked to the back room. She looked at it for a second then smelled it.
"Smells wonderful." She sighed and quickly lifted her shirt over her head and put on Zero, buttoning it up. It was really big on her but it was better than a wet shirt. Yes, she could have put on a shirt in her bag but then that would be wasteful. She only packed enough close for two weeks. She distractedly bent down and picked up the cup, setting it on the small table.
Yuki heard the water running and sighed pleasantly. She got to spend two full weeks with the one she loved. Just then she heard the doorbell ring. She walked to the door and stood there for a while looking at it. She looked back to the back room wondering if she should answer it.
The door rang again so she shrugged her shoulders and unlocked it. She wrapped her fingers around the knob and twisted it, opening the door completely. She looked up at the tall man and smiled politely.
"Can I help you?"
Kaname looked down at the girl in confusion. Why was this girl in Zero's house? And was…was that his shirt? He sniffed the air slightly. Yes, it was Zero's shirt.
"Is Zero home?" Kaname questioned the female. She nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Come in." She invited the complete stranger in. "Sit anywhere you like." She didn't even know his name and she was telling him to sit where ever he liked? Kaname raised an eyebrow. Who was this girl?
Kaname sat on the same couch he always did when he came over Zero's house. Yuki looked at him and smiled.
"What's your name?" She sat on the other couch.
"Kuran Kaname and you are?"
"Kross Yuki, it's nice to meet you. What brings you here?"She began bouncing one the couch again. Kaname frowned slightly.
"Who are you to Zero?" He asked instead. Yuki seized her movements and giggled.
"I'm Zero's one and only girl." She smiled a goofy smile. Kaname clinched his teeth and the cup Yuki had before, cracked. She looked at the cup that was on the table.
"Zero's going to kill me for cracking his cup." Yuki whined. She didn't think dropping it would give it a crack five minutes later.
Kaname took a deep breath. He needed to control himself or else everything in Zero's apartment would burst into shreds.
"For how long?" Kaname asked between clenched teeth. Yuki appeared to be thinking about it.
"I don't know. It's been a couple of years know." She shrugged. Kaname couldn't believe this. Zero had told him that he didn't have a girlfriend.
"Years." Kaname repeated. He was pretty sure they were past kissing. "I should go." Kaname cleared his suddenly tight throat. His fist curled into balls and his knuckles turned white.
"Wait, Zero's not out the shower yet. We were about to play UNO." Yuki motioned for him to stay seated.
Shower?
Kaname looked at Yuki and something clicked. Zero shirt on her, Zero taking a shower. "Did…did they have sex?" Kaname could feel his heart ripping.
"Are you okay?" Yuki asked with concern. Kaname could feel his eyes starting to water. He was a pureblood damn it! Purebloods don't cry. Kaname took a deep breath-inhale, exhale.
"No I'm not okay." Kaname didn't see the point in lying. Yuki was about to ask him what was wrong but a door clicked from the back room and Zero turned the corner stepping into view.
"Yuki I heard the doorbell did…" Zero trailed off when he saw the other male sitting on the 'noddy couch.'
"This guy was at the door so I let him in." Yuki smiled again as she looked at Zero dripping wet in nothing but a short towel. Kaname himself had to admire Zero's body. Zero blushed scarlet. This was so embarrassing. He also completely forgot he was suppose to be going somewhere with the brunet. He got so caught up in work, Yuki, Kross, Yagari-It completely slipped his mind.
"K…Kaname." Zero bit his bottom lip. He wanted to run to his room and never come out again.
"Zero." Kaname stood and approached the waiter. Yuki looked between the two as her brows knitted together. Who did this guy think he is?! Showing up all of the sudden and admiring her Zero, getting her Zero's attention!
"Kaname I'm really sorry i…"
"It's alright Zero. She told me all I needed to know." Kaname could feel his anger coming on again. Why did Zero lie to him?
"What did she tell you?" Zero glared at Yuki then looked back up at Kaname.
"She's your girlfriend." Kaname said quietly. Yuki didn't hear him though as she continued to glare at the brunet. Zero's eyes widen a fraction.
"Did she tell you she was my one and only girl?" Zero sighed. Kaname nodded stiffly.
"No, Kaname that's just what she always tell people. We been friends for years so she thinks she's the only girl I want to talk to. Kaname blinked a couple of times. Was this true?
"Really?" Zero nodded with a smile on his face.
"Jealous much?" Zero teased. Kaname sighed in relief. That's the first time he had ever gotten jealous. Kaname looked down at Zero's body. He followed every curve and every muscle. Zero blushed, he wanted to cross his arms over his chest but he couldn't move.
"K…Kaname stop staring." Zero protested. Kaname finally looked back up to Zero and smiled with an evil glint in his eyes. Zero looked really sexy with his unkempt hair. His scent was so intoxicating so addictive. Zero bit his lip again, feeling his blush grow. Kaname looked like he wanted to eat him and it was kind of turning Zero on.
"Would anyone care to explain what's going on?"Yuki stood with both hands on her hips. Both Kaname and Zero blink. They had forgotten Yuki was in the room.
"Yuki this is my friend. I was supposed to go someplace with him tonight but thanks to you I can't." Yuki puffed her cheeks and glared at Kaname. "Kaname I'm sorry but everything came up last minute and know I'm stuck babysitting her for maybe two weeks."
Yuki was bewildered. Babysit?
"It's alright Zero, it's not your fault." Kaname said smoothly. Yuki balled her fist in irritation. "Why is Zero acting so different around that jerk?"
"If you want, you can stay." Zero felt like he was flirting. Was he?
"Only if that's alright with you." Kaname smiled when Zero nodded quickly.
Yuki felt like gagging. They both were acting like love sick puppies and they didn't even realize it. Yuki had to come up with a way to get the brunet out of Zero's apartment.
"I know, let's play UNO. Whoever loses between me and Kaname get's kicked out." Yuki declared. Zero sent a glare her way and she laughed nervously. Kaname thought about it for a while. He never played UNO before but how hard could it be.
"Sounds fun." Kaname said calmly. Yuki grinned evilly.
"Then let the game begin."
