CHAPTER: Welcoming a new member to the family for the first time
KZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZKZ
It all started after Zero lost his memories.
The only one he remembered the most beside his master was Rose, his loyal female dog. People that he knew before his 'accident' kept everything from him, they believed they were protecting him from finding out the truth about his tragic past and how he was bitten, no longer human, but something he was born to destroy. His life seemed normal until he met a not so happy pureblood in the restaurant he worked at. The pureblood and the ex hunter instantly fell in love. Though it was Rose who brought them together, on that faithful day, when she ran from her owner and jumped into the arms of that very same pureblood whom Zero served at his masters restaurant. Maybe it was destiny or maybe it was because of Rose that they found an excuse to see each other again, it was because of Rose that they got to know each other better, it was because of her that they ended up sleepy in a hotel room together, attending a fair and sharing their most passionate kiss, being jealous, playing UNO, awakening memories, finding the courage to admit feelings, and helping destroy a wedding only to propose to the one he loved the most. Thinking about it, Rose had done a lot for them, if it weren't for Rose, they would have never became what they were today. It was time they pay their long overdue depths to her. It was her time to find happiness, to have no worries, and most importantly, to fall in love…
…..
"Kaname," Zero whined tiredly. "For the last time, we are not going to have a duck themed bathroom so I suggest you take that stupid shower curtain back from wherever the hell you got it form."
"Aw but love, I think it would look very welcoming and it's discreetly unique." Kaname mussed as he studied the shower curtain with interest shinning in his coffee colored eyes. Zero sighed as he leaned against the bathroom doorframe. It had been three weeks since they moved in together. It had been three weeks of none stop shopping, three weeks of disagreement, three weeks of painting, three weeks of gardening and three weeks of dealing with a horny pureblood. All in all, Zero felt like his head was overdue for an eruption.
"Discreetly unique? What about a duck themed bathroom is discreet Kaname?" Zero asked in disbelief as he folded his arms across his chest in an impatient fashion. Kaname only shrugged his shoulders resulting in Zero to sigh yet again. "Do you even like ducks, Kaname?" Zero inclined his head to the duck pattern shower curtain. Kaname's face unexpectedly glowed in excitement.
"Of course, why else would I want ducks in the master bathroom, Love?" Kaname teased before turning somewhat serious. "Every since we went to that park with Rose last night and saw the ducks in the lack, I caught a sudden interest in them," Kaname gaze fell back to the duck patterns that littered the curtain. "That day was my first time ever seeing ducks in real life instead of on the movies so I guess I see them differently now." He shrugged in conclusion as if he knew he had just given the best explanation for wanting a duck theme in the bathroom.
Zero wanted to keep on a hard and stern face, he really did, but he just couldn't, not with his one and only love staring at him with those pleading eyes and bright smile that was for his eyes only. He felt his resolve crumpling as he smiled in return. "If it makes him this happy them who am I to say no?"
"Okay fine but only on one condition." Zero had to stop himself from laughing as he watched his house mate beamed with excitement like a child.
"Anything, I will give you anything you want, love." Kaname's smile was filled with love and adoration as he waited for his fiancées request.
"I get to choose the theme for the guest bathrooms," Zero concluded. "Deal?" Zero held out his hand, waiting for the other to accept his offer.
"Deal." Then, they shook on it.
Three weeks ago, after the almost wedding, they had immediately gone to Zero's house (in the limo that was going to be used to take Kaname and Ruka on the honeymoon) to talk about their future plans, after that was done and resolved, which only took an hour, they were driven to the store to pick up moving boxes and drove back to start packing all of Zero's and Rose's smaller things like clothes, books, toys, plants, est. and stacked it all in the front room.
Even though they had no place to go yet, they were determined to do everything quickly. They knew they were rushing into this but they also knew that they wanted this more than anything… so why wait?
Bright and early the next day, they met up with the realtor agent to look for a home they could settle in. The one thing that they both had agreed on was that moving out of the city seemed to be the greatest idea in the world. They didn't want to be in the country and they also didn't want to be in a small town so they were able to find a cottage styled house that was further back but not too deep in the woods.
The house was absolutely beautiful. In the back, there was a lovely wooden deck that overlooked a huge lack that seemed to sparkle in the morning rays of sun. The numerous amounts of trees that scattered around the deck gave off a great amount of shade and the illusion of dusk. The house was wide and tall but not too grand like Kaname's old home and not too small like Zero's old apartment, in three words, it was perfect. It only needed a little fixing up here and there because no one had lived in it for what seemed like decades.
The cottage had a total of four bedrooms, three bathrooms and the house had two levels. Just like the back of the house, the front was also scattered with trees (some apple trees, some peach tree, and some normal tree's) but it obviously had been managed by knocking down some to make it not look messy and random. The lawn stayed ever green and beautifully mowed in a checkered pattern and the circle rocks gave a pathway leading to the front door coming from the garage on the side. Everything was breathtakingly beautiful…but could be better with a few fixer uppers.
Within minutes after the tour Kaname had bought it (with argument form Zero saying that he wanted to pitch in which Kaname refused and ignored) and they had moved Zero and Rose's things in the garage first then got Ichijou and Aidou to help them with Kaname's things. On that day they had all gone out and bought new furniture, bedding, paint, and housing. Kaname had hired a gardener and a constructer for things like the roof and the exterior of the house. He also hired a remodeler for a more updated kitchen, chimney, bedrooms, bathrooms and the entire interior of the house including hiring an electrician. He even hired people to clean the lack because there were dead leaves, random sticks, logs, and some dead fish that had stayed over the years. It had been three weeks of nonstop working, three weeks of random strangers coming in and out of the house, three weeks of constant hammering and bashing, three weeks of Kaname yelling at the strangers when they did something wrong and had to start something all over again, three weeks of dust and debris and three weeks of shopping had finally all coming down to the last day when everything was finally complete and the stranger packed there belonging and left.
The only thing that was left was the bathrooms. All they needed were curtains and other bathroom necessity's since they had already been remolded and updated. To say that Zero was relieved would be an understatement, he was absolutely ecstatic.
It was lightly sprinkling outside, the constant pitter- patter of rain that skimmed and beat against the roof and windows didn't help to drown out the sounds of heavy shuddered breathing, kissing and constant moaning that hummed throughout the dim lighting of the master bedroom.
"Mmm , Kaname…stop." Zero whispered breathlessly, his head turned to the side and his face flushed in pleasure as the man on top of him luxuriously sucked on his neck at his most sensitive hot spot.
"What for?" Kaname whispered next to his ears and began nibbling the piercing conveniently located next to his wondering mouth. He trailed his right hand down from Zero's neck to his exposed chest and began to circle his nipple with the tip of his thumb. Zero gasped and began to squirm under the dominating pureblood above him.
"Trying…to…distract me." Zero whimpered and cursed himself for his disability to coherently speak while the pureblood was doing wonderful things to his body at the moment.
"Oh, am I?" Kaname murmured and trailed wet kisses from his ear to his neck, gently nibbling on an artery before lapping at it with the tip of his tongue before sucking on it. Zero's grip on the sheets tightened considerable as he squeezed his eyes shut, trying desperately to keep quiet. If he did let out sounds of pleasure then that would be encouraging to Kaname, if he did put his arms around the pureblood then that would mean he was inviting him in, if he did submit to the older vampire then he would surely forget his reason for wanting to stop in the first place. But really it was getting harder and harder not to be encouraging as the seconds ticked by.
"No…Kaname we have…to talk." Zero gasped out and licked his sudden dry lips as he unconsciously tilted his head more to the side, giving Kaname more room. "Damn him, he knows the second most sensitive part of my body is my neck."
"I'm listening." Kaname brought his hand up and turned Zero to face him before connecting their lips in a passionate kiss. Zero tried to resist at first by pushing at Kaname's shoulders. Damn purebloods for being so strong. Kaname nibbled at his bottom lip before sucking on it suggestively. Zero cursed himself for not being able to hold back any longer, he completely melted into Kaname's hold and wrapped his arms around his neck, inviting him in by slightly parting his lips. They both moaned pleasantly when their tongues reunited and caressed feverously.
God, it felt like years since they last kissed like this. They didn't have any alone time for the past three weeks for obvious reasons and Kaname had been trying to seduce him in those past weeks every chance he got and every attempt had failed for the simple fact that Zero was embarrassed because there were other people around in the other room, or the fact that they were out in public like the park, so they settled for simple pecks or five second closed mouthed kisses. Yes, those had been pleasant and loving, but now, Kaname had seen his chance when Zero had came out of the shower with nothing but a towel around his slim hips, dripping wet. He had basically attacked him and shoved him on the bed… leading to now…
Zero whimpered between kisses before Kaname deepened it by practically pushing his tongue down his throat. Zero moaned quit loudly at the sensation and gripped Kaname's shoulders tightly. He shuddered when Kaname caressed the roof of his mouth with his devilish tongue before bringing his wet muscle into his mouth and began sucking on it eagerly. Zero felt his eyes roll to the back of his skull in rapture behind his closed lids and whimpered uncontrollable. "Why does he have to be such a great kisser? This would be a lot easier if he wasn't."
Finally, after what felt like hours, Zero was able to conjure up enough senses to gather the strength to pull back from the kiss enough to look Kaname in the eyes. Kaname blinked at the sudden loose of a warm mouth and locked eyes with Zero's desperate ones. "Please stop," Zero whispered breathlessly before licking his lips. "As much as I hate to admit it, I don't think I have enough energy to forcefully stop you myself at the moment."
Kaname watched him for a while. His bruised and kissed swollen pouty lips, his flushed face and hooted eye lids was not helping Kaname stop one bit at the moment. Taking a deep breath, he closed his heavy eyes and counted to a slow ten second before he was able to open them again and remove himself from the tempting body below his. He sat besides Zero, both still breathing heavily while they tried to calm themselves.
"I'm sorry," Kaname managed after he had gotten his breathing under control. "I should have stopped the first time you ask me, please forgive me." Kaname mentally berated himself for allowing his control to slip. He never wanted to hurt Zero, ever! For a split second he felt completely unworthy of the silver haired beauty, so unworthy that he hung his head in shame.
He was so deep wallowing in his own self pity that he jumped when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. His attention snapped up from his lap to the pair of lilac orbs looking back at him.
"Hey, calm down will ya? It's not like you just forced me to have sex with you or anything so don't beat yourself up over nothing." Zero smiled and gave Kaname a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before letting go. Kaname shook his head in protest and opened his mouth to argue.
"But…"
"But nothing," Zero cut him off and gave him a scolding look as if he were telling a child not to eat dessert before dinner. Kaname closed his mouth and sighed. God, he really didn't deserve Zero. He was so sweet to him and understanding, it really made him feel like a complete jerk sometimes. "So anyways," Zero began, standing form the bed and heading to the dresser to get some pajamas to wear. "I wanted to talk about the house warming party tomorrow," Zero slipped on some boxers before letting the towel hit the floor then threw a plain white t-shirt on before joining the pureblood once more. "We have been holding off actually planning and its tomorrow night and we still don't have anything for it. We're really good at procrastinating sometimes." Zero joked, earning an amused chuckle from Kaname.
"I suppose your right. Where should we start?"
"Well, let's start with what we already know, like the basics, then take it off form there I guess." Zero shrugged his shoulders sheepishly.
"Okay," Kaname tapped his chin in a thinking gesture. "The party supposable starts around nine and shouldn't end until around one in the morning." Kaname nodded to himself, thinking it was a reasonable amount of time.
"Sound good. Then we need to know the things we need. Things like food, decor… really this should be simple but I suck at planning." Zero admitted with a chuckle. Kaname nodded in agreement, this was why he had always hired help for things like this.
"Maybe we should get Ichijou to help out? I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Zero asked hopefully after a minute of silent thinking. He really didn't want to bug Ichijou again, even though he said he wanted to help out anytime they needed him or didn't.
"Good idea. I'll give him a call then." Kaname excused himself and grabbed his cell phone, exchanging good nights, before heading downstairs.
He didn't want to keep Zero up all night because the waiter had to go to work in the morning, even though Kaname practically begged him to quit his job because he wanted to be the one to support and take care of the younger vampire. Zero had argued that he wasn't some damsel in distress and that he could take care of himself. After much debate over the topic of whether or not Zero should have a job, it all came down to Zero threatening he would leave him if he didn't let him work. They both knew that he wasn't serious but it still frightened Kaname greatly. Plus he did see how much it meant to Zero to be an independed person, so naturally, Kaname gave in for his most precious person.
Zero yawned behind his hand and pulled the covers back and lay correctly. He chuckled as he pulled the silk covers over his body, remembering the bickering that had over cotton vs. silk. God, he loved Kaname so much.
He turned over and looked at the picture frames on the nightstand. It was the picture they had taken after he had won the dog competition and the one of him and his family. Kaname had surprised him yesterday by getting the pictures blow up to make them bigger and had one put in a dog pattern picture frame and the other in small heart shaped patterns. He smiled fondly before reaching over to turn the light off completely, drowning the room in darkness. He twirled the platinum band on his finger as he closed his eyes in content. This had become a habit that he felt would last forever.
With the knowledge that he would finally get to marry the man he loved one day, he fell in a deep sleep with a slight smile on his lips. He was positive that this was what contemptment felt like.
KZKZKZKZKZKZKZ***********KZKZKZKZKZKZKZ**********KZKZKZKZKZK
Zero awoke to the pleasant chirping of birds…well…it didn't take long for that soothing sound to turn into an annoying repetitive shrill. Zero grumbled a curse and buried his face deeper into his comfy, fluffy pillow. Oh, how Zero wished that his lazy and groggily actions would have drowned the sound out, naturally, it did no such thing. The shrill chirping became louder and more insisting that he pay attention to its constant earsplitting buzz. Where was that damn noise coming from anyways?
He turned on his side and nuzzled his face into the firm yet soft chest in front of him. As if by magic, the noise stopped completely. Zero sighed in triumph and felt the pull of sleep claim him once more as a single arms unconsciously wrapped around him.
Five minutes later, Zero was only able to get to the point where he was clinging to the line of unconsciousness and consciousness before he was abruptly awoken by the shrill chirping that becoming louder and frantic.
Honestly, where the hell was that damn sound coming from?
Since Zero was still half asleep, it took him a while to realize that the obnoxious sound was his alarm clock going off. When realization finally struck, he groggily pushed himself away from the warm body that was pressed up against him and reached over to the night stand to turn it off. When the horrid sound became deceased, he heard Kaname let out a sigh of relief. He cursed Kaname for ever buying him the damn thing in the first place. The clock was designed to become louder and louder ever second that you didn't attend to it, then, after three minutes of this it shuts off completely only to become even louder after five minutes. Luckily he got to it before it would purposely roll itself off the night stand and away from him, resulting in him having no other choice but to get out of bed to collect it.
He sat up in bed and stretched his arms over his head, hearing a couple of satisfying pops. Lowering his arms, he turned and glared at the chuckling pureblood.
"What so funny? I know damn well you heard that annoying alarm the first time it went off." Zero grumbled, voice sounding slightly hoarse, and rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"I did." Kaname admitted in short before laying on his stomach and turned his head to Zero, amusement clear in his facial expression.
"So why didn't you turn it off then wake me?" Zero pouted cutely as he stood form the bed and disappeared into the walk in closet.
"Don't you remember, love? I did that last week when we had to stay over at Ichijou's place while our bedrooms were being remodeled. You were half dead asleep and didn't even hear the alarm so I turn it off for you and tried to rouse you myself, but what did you do?"
Zero returned from the closet with his work uniform and threw it on his side of the bed.
"I begged for more sleep and you couldn't resist my please over and over again and I ended up being two hours late for work so ...what… don't give me that look! It's not my fault that I'm not entirely a morning person." Zero huffed and turned to march to the bathroom. He stopped at the bathroom door when arms wrapped around his waist and a body leaned against his back.
"Have a nice day, love." Kaname whispered in his ear, followed by a loving peck to the cheek. Zero blushed and quickly turned around to yell at the pureblood for nearly giving him a heart attack so early in the morning, but the words died in his throat when the only thing he saw was the pureblood laying in their bed pretending to be sleep. Zero glared at him and mentally cursed purebloods ability to move quickly.
"Asshole." Zero murmured and swung the bathroom door open. He took one step inside before looking back over his shoulders and whispered something to the pureblood before closing the door behind him.
Kaname opened his eyes and smiled brightly.
"I love you too."
*******************************************************************KZKZKZ
After Zero had emerged from the shower, he quickly went about his morning routine while trying to be as quiet as possible because the kings of vampires had fallen back asleep because it wasn't his time to awaken yet.
After getting completely dressed and grabbing his keys, he kissed an unconscious Kaname goodbye and went down the flight of stairs to the kitchen. After getting some coffee and something to eat he ventured to the garage where he beamed as he looked upon his Nissan Maybach Exelero .
He turned on the engine and flew down the path trail that leads to the main road. He couldn't help but remember how much money Kaname spent on this car.
********************************Short Flashback*********************
"Kaname you better not walk me over a cliff." Zero tried his best to keep the anxiousness out of his voice. Kaname chuckled behind him as he directed him to their destination.
"You know that I would never do a thing like that." Kaname loyally declared as he lead his blind folded fiancée from inside Ichijou's house to the front door and down three steps and over to the garage.
"What kind of surprise would be outside anyways? You're not trying to take me away from civilization and have your way with me are you?" Zero joked to calm down his anxiousness. Kaname blinked in surprise and almost doubled over in the fit of his laughter.
"Hey, calm down will you. Don't forget that I am blind at the moment and have no clue where were going. You may walk me into a tree for all I know." Zero grumbled, half serious. It wasn't really his idea of fun to be walked around with a blind fold over his eyes so excuse him for being a little cautious.
"Don't worry, I promise you this will all be worth it." Kaname managed to calm down somewhat. Finally, they came to a stop and Kaname untied the black fabric behind Zero's head and told him to keep his eyes closed. Zero scoffed but did as he was told. "First I need you to promise not to be mad at me."
"Wha…I promise…I guess." Now Zero was definitely nervous. Why would he be angry at the pureblood for giving him a surprise?
Kaname ignored the "I guess" part and leaned down to peck his beloved on the cheek before telling him to open his eyes. Again, Zero did as he was told and as soon as he did, he felt like his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Numbly, he walked closer to the car and ran his fingers over the silver paint job. Kaname could hear the boy whisper "Nissan Maybach Exelero." Probable not even realizing that he had spoken. But still Kaname couldn't yet tell if he liked the car or not.
The car salesmen had told him this car was on the top number ten list for most popular and up to date. If Zero didn't like the car then Kaname would take it out on the man that promised him "Everyone and anyone would fall in love with this here beautiful piece of machinery. I promise ya! Why, ya fell in love with it the moment you saw it, didn't ya!"
Zero could feel Kaname's eyes constantly on him as he waited for his reaction. When he managed to slowly walked completely around the car and back, he finally opened his mouth to say something. To say that Kaname was surprised by his next words would be a lie.
"How much?" Zero turned his gaze away from the incredible piece of machinery to lock eyes with Kaname's amused ones.
"To be honest I know you hate it when I spend a lot of money on buying you thing, so I figured I buy you something cheap for once, even though it pained me to do so." Kaname admitted, smile never leaving his face.
"How much?" Zero questioned again, folding his arms across his chest.
"It was only $8,000,000 so I'm sor…."
"$8,000,000!"
************************End of flashback*******************************
Zero chuckled at the memory as he cleaned the used table from his last costumers. No matter how many annoying and outrageous things Kaname did, Zero knew he would always love him unconditionally.
"Hey kid, just when exactly were you planning on inviting me to your little home warming party? I had to find out by Cross!" Toga's sudden gruff voice abruptly brought him out his day dreaming. He sighed in part annoyance before facing his boss.
"Gee I don't know. When exactly were you planning on telling me that you're a hunter? Oh, you weren't because I had to find out by Kaname a few weeks ago when my memory was restored!" They glared at each other hard before the older male gave in with a sigh.
"Look Zero, I'm sorry. What would you have wanted me to do, huh? You didn't have your memory back yet and I couldn't of have just bluntly told you I'm a vampire hunter! You wouldn't have believed me anyways and it would have just freaked you out!"
"That's not the point Toga!"
"Then what do you want me to say?"
"Nothing!"
"You're not making any damn sense!"
"That's because you don't understand what I'm trying to say!"
"Then tell me damnit!"
"I wanted you to have been there for me back then!" Zero shouted, beyond pissed by now. Yagari blinked and took a step back. If looked could kill Toga was sure he would have been a goner by now. It felt as if Zero was mentally torturing his very soul as his piercing gaze looked deeply into his eyes. Toga knitted his brows in confusion, not exactly understanding why Zero was suddenly so angry.
"What are you talking about, back then?" It didn't seem possible that Zero's already deadly look could turn deadlier.
"The time when I was changed, you knew I only agreed because of my mother and yet you still doubted me. At the hospital you still wanted to turn against me and disown me. How could you do that?" Zero felt embarrassed because he was on the verge of tears. Already he could feel his eyes watering but he refused to cry, especially in front of his former master.
"But I did take you in." Toga tried to argue back but he knew what was coming next.
"No you didn't! I lost my entire family besides Rose. I was lost and confused of what to do next. I needed you! You didn't take me in, you took me to Cross, a man who was a stranger to me. Why!"
"Zero I…"
"I know you're going to say it's because I'm a monster and it's your job to handle people like me!" Zero hissed. Even though he was boiling with anger and his emotions were completely out of control, he had enough sense to keep their words coded. Because of the small audience they were attracting.
They looked away from each other, both confused and angry.
After a while, Yagari was the first to look at his former student. It pained Toga to see Zero like this, tense posture, clenched fist, a hurt look…
"Zero, I know I messed up. I know that I'm the one to blame and I really am sorry. You weren't the only one that felt lost and confused that day," There was another long and awkward pause before Toga cleared his throat uncomfortable. "But even still that's no excuse for what I have done. I hope you can forgive me some day, kid."
Yagari raised his hand to ruffle the silver strand but in mid decent he noticed Zero's posture stiffen. Hurt briefly flashed in his eye before he quickly yanked his hand away as if Zero had tried to bite it off in an animalistic way.
When his ex sensei finally gave up and walked away, Zero let out a long sigh and mentally yelled at himself. He wasn't mad at Toga, not really. What he was really angry about was the fact that Toga's actions had hurt him deeply…but still…that was no excuse to go off on him like that. Toga had been looking after him all this time and making sure that he was alright, that he was stable…waiting for him to fall in an E…his master…would have ended him without hesitation.
Zero growled and began to fervently scrub the table with new found confusion.
His day had started out so good too…
*******************************************************************************KZKZKZ
"Okay, shhh! She's going to hear you." Zero complained.
"Yes, yes love," Kaname smiled and continued carrying the large blue plastic square. "But I really think we should consider changing…"
"Shh!" Zero glared at him as they finally made their way into the spacious living room.
It was the time of year where the leave began falling off tree's and the weather became warmer and less sunny, the month where people dressed in orange's, red's, green's, and brown's. It was also the time of month where people began to prepare for Halloween and long Christmas list. Quite frankly it was both Zero's and Kaname's favorite time of the year. What vampire wouldn't love it?
Kaname sat the large plastic thing down as gentle as he could and straightened back up again. He looked at Zero and smiled. This was so exciting!
"Well, we finally did it, didn't we?" Kaname sighed and sat down on the couch close to the big French window. Zero came and sat on the arms of the couch next to him, sighing in agreement as he looked outside at the falling orange leaves.
"Yeah, I almost feel bad about how long it took us to do this. We had practically been planning this since day one." He felt Kaname's hand rub his thigh in a comforting manor.
"I know love, but who can blame us? There was so much going on back then, it wouldn't have been appropriate at the time anyways. So don't worry about it. It's done now, isn't it?" Kaname reassured with a light voice as he continued to absentmindedly comfort his love. Zero nodded in agreement, trying to ease the guilt away.
"Your right, as always," Zero rolled his eyes, looking down at the pureblood. Kaname chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "So anyways, everything's ready right? Were ready for this, aren't we? What if Rose doesn't like him, what if she thinks we're showing him more love then her?" Zero began to panic. Kaname listened to Zero drown on, shaking his head with an amused smile on his face.
"Well," Kaname stood, reaching his hand out for Zero to take. "It looks like there's only one way to find out." Zero hesitated, a battle going on inside his head. Eventually though he nodded and took Kaname's hand, both on their feet and ready for the outcome of their long awaited goal. There was no turning back now.
…
Rose POV
Rose was asleep in her room, lying in her royal doggy bed in complete bliss. She had been at the doggy spa all dog, getting pampered and treated like royalty. Never in her life had she been so spoiled, so spotless and so comfortable in her own fur. Don't get her wrong though, she did miss those days of running in the mud with Ichiru and Zero, those days of hunting in the woods…being animalistic, it was her nature after all.
But still, she could get use to this.
She inhaled deeply and suddenly froze up. What was that? She sniffed again and became alert, jumping up and frantically sniffing the air, all around her room then in the direction of the hallway. There was an unfamiliar smell…this could only mean one thing….intruder! She began barking and running to fight off the unwanted person, she had to protect her most precious persons, she had to!
She scampered down the stairs swiftly and without hesitation she followed the scent to the living room, snarling in an offensive fashion as if to say "Get the F out or pay for the consequences!" She burst into view of the living room entrance were the scent was the strongest. She froze when she saw her master and his lover holding hands, standing next to a strange big object of sorts. Her master looked worried as he looked at her expectantly and kept glancing at his lover, gripping his hand tighter. Kaname seemed calm, though Rose could smell his anticipation and worry as well.
Slowly, the black miniature poodle mad her way over to the big object. Surprisingly, the object was even bright to her color blind doggy eyes. Her tail was stiff and her posture was rigid, as if expecting something to jump out of it at any minute. In the front of the object there were thin black bars that she couldn't see through but without a doubt she knew the smell was coming from it.
Next thing she knew, she had her wet doggy nose pressed up against the bars, sniffing like crazy while growling at the same time. Her ears perked when she heard a small whimper from inside. They perked again when she heard her master speak something that she half understood.
"Kaname, this doesn't look good." Zero whispered, his eyes worried as he watched the scene before him. Kaname's only response was to squeeze his lovers hand tighter.
Rose came back to the situation at hand when she suddenly felt something wet against her nose. She yelped in surprise, but being the Kiryu that she was she didn't back down and began trying to get closer to her goal. She heard her master mutter something again but didn't have time to comprehend his words until she heard something click and the cage doors opening. She quickly backed up, on guard and ready for action.
Timidly, a small silvery-white bundle began to take slow step out of its prison. Rose watched as the "intruder" stepped completely out of the cage and began to look at its surroundings. She could tell the dog was male, around her age too. She could feel her defenses trampling as the other dog looked at her. She tilted her head to the side as the dog began to come closer to her, wagging its white tail excitedly. She held completely still as he began to circle her, sniffing her in the process, so, she sniffed him too. It was a cute scene, both trying to circle each other at the same time, tails wagging, mild biting and a lot of yipping. Rose couldn't believe it but she felt something that she never felt before other then with Zero. But at the same time it was somewhat different. She loved Zero deeply but how she felt now, with the stranger, in only a few seconds of interaction, she felt something to love.
Normal POV
"Rose, this is the new family member, meet Kuran Artamis. He's a miniature poodle just like you but he's about two years older. I hope that's okay." Zero smiled as it appeared Rose was totally ignoring him in favor of getting to know this new Artamis character.
"You see, love? I told you it would work out. I finally got a dog and Rose seems to like him so it's fine, right?
"Yeah," Zero sighed in relief, I guess your right as always."
Kaname smiled and pecked his lover on the lips, pulling him out of the room.
"Let's give them some privacy to bond. If anything bad happens then I will be the first to know so don't worry, okay?"
Zero could only nod and give one more look at the two before he was lead completely out of the room.
*In the bedroom*
"Why do I feel like this? I feel like I'm suddenly overcome with a need to be protective and…dare I say it…motherly. I mean, Rose is like my little sister, or my daughter and to just give her away to a boy dog like that…will she be okay, is he trustworthy?" Zero sighed out loud, causing Kaname to look at him with worry.
"Zero, please relax, I promise nothing bad will come of this." Kaname tried to reassure, gently rubbing his lovers back to try and relax him manually.
"How could you be so sure?" Zero's voice sounded muffled because his face was in the pillow as he was laid on his stomach.
"Because, we checked all of Artamis's records and there was nothing about him being some good for nothing mutt, was there?" Kaname cooed at the end of his sentence as he began to really massage his lover's aching muscles. This time, Zero sighed pleasantly and murmured out a small no in reply. Kaname smiled and straddles Zero in order to give him a through message. He rubbed his hands together to heat them up and began to glide his hands over the muscular and lean back. He gently kneaded his shoulders and upper back, causing Zero to sigh again and turned his head to the side. Kaname noticed his eyes were closed and his expression was relaxed and groggy. He gently smiled as he kneaded the flesh harder earning a low lazy moan from his lover.
"Feeling better, my adorable fiancée?" Kaname purred, loving those words being directed towards Zero. "No one else, only you Zero…only you."
"Yeah, you're really good with your hands by the way." Zero whispered, too tired and relaxed to get any louder than that. Kaname affectionately kissed him on the cheek, smiling when Zero opened his eyes and looked at him with so much love that Kaname felt like he could die know and not even mind, as long as he was with Zero, nothing else mattered.
He eased off his lover and lay next to him. Zero, still on his stomach, laid his upper body and Kaname's chest, nuzzling his neck like a cat.
"Kaname?"
"Yes, Zero?"Kaname began running his fingers through silver locks, absentmindedly stroking his hair with precious cars.
"I love you."
Kaname's eyes widen with surprise, not havening expected that. But his surprised ended as he smiled, looking to be in a dreamy state of bliss. "I love you, Zero. Wherever you are is home to me. I would follow you anywhere, heaven or hell, promise."
Zero lifted his head, looking deep into Kaname's eyes. "Wow, you're so ancient. You don't hear deep stuff like that in today's society." He joked, shaking his head, "but that's just another reason why I'm in love you, you're so poetic, such a romantic and just so," Zero's hand slide down Kaname's chest as he lifted his body to hover above him. "Splendiferous." Kaname blushed, actually blushed at the way Zero was looking at him and what he said.
Zero smirked as if finally figuring something out. "You like it, don't you? Zero lower his head and gently kissed Kaname on the neck, his jaw then leaned away. Kaname didn't realize he had his eyes closed and had to open them again when Zero continued to speak.
"You like it when I talk like that, don't you? All fancy and early 19th century using words like splendiferous." Kaname blushed again and began to protest but was silenced by Zero pecking him on the lips again before whispering in his ear, "In one of heavens stars, this wonderful feeling, could it be love with a twisted art? Maybe a blessing... Maybe like a song from Gods guitar... Maybe it's just who we are, a match planned from the start. All we need to do is give it a chance, One word or maybe just a glance…" Zero trailed off as he planted kisses along Kaname's neck. Meanwhile Kaname's was in a state of frozen shock and longing, what was Zero doing to him? His words, his voice…maybe Zero was right, maybe he did like being talk to like that, maybe it did turn him on for some reason.
"I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion. I have shuddered at it. But shudder no more," Zero kissed Kaname sweetly on the lips, longer this time before slowly releasing them. "I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion and I could die for that," Kaname whimpered at that before Zero began to kiss him again, holding Kaname's soft cheek in his hand. He took his lovers bottom lip into his mouth, sucking on it and earning a low moan before he pulled away again. "I could die for you." He was slightly breathless as he gazed into the purebloods eyes. Kaname was flushed, his posture trembling with a dazed expression on his face. "Zero….please…stop." Kaname wasn't familiar with this feeling, he felt so not in control, much like a uke. But that was impossible! He wasn't a uke…he wasn't…he couldn't be…"
Zero began kissing him again, sucking on his bottom lip sensuously before molding their mouths together to slide his tongue inside. Kaname moaned and wrapped his arms around his lover, pulling him closer. Zero released his lips too soon for Kaname as the pureblood tried to follow after him. Zero chuckled at this before sucking on the pureblood's neck, making him throw his head back and arch up into his sweet touch.
"Zero…"
"When I close my eyes I dream of you. Can't sleep at night 'cause I wanna be with you," Kaname moaned at Zero words as he began to feel him up, his hands touching him, making him shudder in surprised pleasure. "Don't want to live, don't want to cry, without you by my side. When I go to sleep at night I ask God to make my days bright. I know he will do it - I know it is true. Because he knows I only want to be with you." Zero sounded breathless now as he began to strip the pureblood out of his clothing. Kaname seemed so longing for his touch, so spread out for him and inviting, it was honestly making Zero lose control. The pureblood was breathing hard, gripping the sheets as Zero began to trail kisses down his body.
"I hear your voice inside my head. I can imagine us together again. I know it will happen - I know it is true; because I asked God if I can be with you." Kaname moaned heatedly and Zero smirked, rubbing along Kaname's parted thighs. "I see you and I together again; Holding hands and feeling the pain. What a beautiful feeling - I wish it were true. But I am only dreaming - dreaming of you." Zero was panting know, aroused but Kaname's surprising reaction to his words, his actions…his control.
"Zero…oh god what are you doing to me? Please stop..I can't…I…"
"Shh, Kaname," Zero pulled himself back up to face his lover, smiling gently. "I love you, your submissive eyes, filled with emotion and intimate passions and love, has me pleading with a burning driven devotion, uncontrollably surging, yearning for your touch," Zero purred when Kaname released a wanting groan. "How pathetic, he's not even touching me! But his voice…his words…I want him…" "To explore the needing of your body taste, to be fed as I am eager to give, i am so inpatient for your intoxicating lovemaking," Zero groaned when Kaname whimpered, rubbing up against him. "Kaname…for your sweet and sensual embrace, for that hot fire to come to my senses, that all I want is for you to pull me and crush me..." Kaname was making Zero hot, wiggling underneath him, moaning in that voice, pleading for something with those eyes. Zero groaned as Kaname impatiently stripped him of his clothing, pulling him closer with his legs around his waist. "Mmmh…. In the emotion to feel the sublime of ecstasies
Slowly coming to satisfy the mystical ride of yours, while your body guides me..." they both groaned when their hard members touch, grinding against each other. Kaname threw his head back and gasped loudly as Zero gripped the sheets on either side of his body and began to thrust harder against him. "To fulfill the hunger in me, as I fulfill the hunger in you..." Zero panted, Kaname's finger's threaded through Zero's hair and he panted heavily, urging Zero on in both his words and actions. "As our delicious imaginations of sensual delights, and temptations set afire, electrifying our desire and forbidden love… ahh…Kaname!"
"Zero please! Don't stop….don't stop! Keep going! Ahhh! Want you, need you…inside." Kaname was too lost to care how he sounded, what he wanted, what he was asking Zero to do to him.
"Shit…Kaname. What are you asking me?" Zero tried to slow down a little, to at least give them time to breath but every time he did, Kaname would protest and beg him to go faster, to make the ache go away.
"I need you. Zero, please….make love to me!" They both were sweaty, out of breath and flushed. Zero bit his bottom lip, trying to put reasoning in his mind. Slowly his frantic hips come to a stop, getting a load of protest from Kaname that he tried very hard to ignore.
"What am I doing?" Zero sighed, trying to calm himself down which was a losing battle at this point. He glanced at his lover, he had his eyes closed, cheeks flushed, perspiration glistening on his skin, his face twisted his pleasured agony. This did nothing to calm him down so why was he even trying?
"Kaname…"
"Zero, please?" Kaname whimpered, eyes half lidded, legs spreading wider. "I can take it. I need to feel you inside of me…don't make me beg Zero." Kaname began moving again, grinding against Zero, trying to urge him on. Zero was gritting his teeth while at the same time slowly moving his hips with Kaname's. He watched as Kaname's eyes seemed to roll to the back of his head as he licked his lips, softly moaning his name. Zero lost it, right there and then, his control slipped either for the better or the worse, no one was really certin at this point.
