Author Note: I have so many projects right now... it's a little insane in my head. Worse than usual anyway. I don't remember how I came up with this one.
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or make profit from this.
"What's this?" Akatsuki grabbed my hand and stared down at it.
"It's a cut." I tried to tug my hand out of his grip, but to no avail. "It's not a big deal. Really."
"It's infected. Ruka, c'mon. " He pulled me into the nearest bathroom and started to search the cupboards for something. His grip on my hand was firm, and even hurt a little, though only because of the cut.
"Kain!" I hated calling him that, but it got his attention. "I'm fine, give it a day and it will be gone." That was a blatant lie; I just didn't want peroxide poured on my hand. I shifted, trying to get away from him.
"You don't understand." He finally found the bottle of peroxide and pulled it out of the cupboard, uncapping it. "It's infected. Even your body can't heal it without it being cleaned out. How did you get hurt anyway?" He was trying to distract me, that was all, I was sure of it. He moved my hand over the sink and I braced myself.
"Aidou tripped me because I called him an idiot blonde." I said and a murderous look flashed through Kain's eyes, though it wasn't directed at me. I flinched as the peroxide tumbled into the cut, and I squeezed my eyes shut tight.
"Ruka? Ruka!" I opened my eyes at Akatsuki's voice, but my vision tunneled, and then went black. Akatsuki's voice faded away, last of all, though I clung to it for dear life.
When I woke up, I was in Akatsuki's room. My hand had been carefully bandaged, and I was tucked in.
"Akatsuki?" I whispered, and then realized he was asleep next to me. "Thank you, Akatsuki." I whispered and lay my head lightly on his chest. "Thank you for taking care of me." I played with the edge of his pajama shirt, which was open as always.
"I always will." He was only half awake now, but his words were sincere. "No matter what happens, I'll make sure you're alright."
I really should've gone to my room after that. Instead, I just snuggled up to Kain and let myself fall asleep.
Because I knew that Akatsuki wouldn't lie to me... he would always be there for me.
Author Note: Short one, sorry, I have to leave in a bit and I have some other work to do, but I will get some more stuff done before I have to leave. As usual, I appreciate all reviews and PMs about my stories! Lastly, thank you so much for reading my stories!
