A/N: It is late for me right now... so if this one seems a little loopy, I'm sorry. I'm trying my best. It's going to storm tomorrow and I don't want to add nothing tonight, since the power could go out. Rima's point of view.
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight. I make no profit from this.
"What are you dreaming about?" Senri poked me in the side, waking me up.
"Nothing now." I moved my head onto his chest. "Quit waking me up."
Both Senri and I had had the remnants of a bad cold for the past week, and while he had turned almost childlike, I had turned into a bigger bitch than Ruka. Needless to say, these two were not a good combination at all.
"What do you think it's going to be like after we get out of Cross Academy?" Senri untied my hair ribbons and set them on my nightstand, then began to toy with my hair.
"Hm." I swatted at his hand. "I won't have to worry about those insane fangirls of yours."
"You don't have to worry about them now." A smile made his lips twitch just a little.
"So you'll always be with me?" I added, my temper fading off a bit. "Or will you run at the first sign that you have to make a commitment, like lots of guys?"
"If I was going to run, don't you think I would've by now?" Senri squeezed me against him, almost knocking the air out of me. "I'm not an idiot, Rima, I know who I love."
"Yeah." I silently begged him not to bring up my lack of trust, but since my eyes weren't on his it didn't work. Either that, or he just had to do it.
"You still don't trust me, do you?" Senri pulled me closer, as if unsure if I would bolt. Fat chance.
"I trust you." I burrow my face into his neck, afraid to say anymore. I think it all started a month ago, when my sister attacked me, maybe that was when I lost my faith in people. Maybe it was when my Mother decided she had to find herself and ultimately disappeared. Either way, Senri hasn't been sure what to make of my distrust and me. I didn't want to open that can of worms daily, and while so many people might say I need therapy, I don't need a shrink. I just need someone to love me so much I'm forced to trust them.
Someone like Senri, who hasn't left my side in years.
"Just trust that I trust you." I whispered into Senri's neck.
"Mhm..." Was the only reply I got, and Senri pulled me as close as he could get me.
The sound of his pulse lulled me to sleep.
A/N: Agh! This one is so short, but I have so much more to do tonight, and I seriously need some sleep. (I'm laughing at myself, because I think I sound weird writing this, that's how sleep deprived I am.) Anyway, drop me a comment if you can, I love to hear from my readers, and I'm off to my Suika rounds.
