A/N: I'm using the same theme for all my one-shots because I am seriously rushing. I'm sorry, but I wanted to add before I leave and before it storms, and I'm doing what I can.
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or make any profit from this.
"I'm so sorry to hear about your husband." Mrs. Touya sighed as she and Mrs. Shiki sipped blood tablets at the table. The kids had been left to play alone, since they hadn't had any behavioral problems with either, together or separate.
"It's alright." Ms. Shiki swirled the liquid in her glass. "I'm doing fine without him, and so is Senri, for the most part. I think being here really helps him though, he seems to love your daughter."
"They have a deep understanding of each other." Mrs. Touya nodded. "Rima seems to know Senri better than he knows himself, or so it seems."
Ms. Shiki nodded, smiling a bit. Senri needed someone like that.
"Come on, Senri, you're tired and it's naptime." Four-year-old Rima Touya proceeded to tuck Senri – and herself – into her bed.
"Why are you so nice?" Senri asked, holding her hands gently. He didn't understand this girl; she was kind to him without having a good reason to be kind to him. It just didn't make sense.
"Because you need me, and I need you." Rima let go of his hands only to wrap her little arms around Senri and pull him close. "You need to love yourself more. You're very lovable."
"No, I'm not." Senri murmured, and for a moment he struggled in her hold. "I'm not lovable. I'm just a puppet."
The surprise came when Senri received a slap across the cheek in response.
"You're not a puppet. You're a lovable, sweet, vampire boy. You're a person." Rima pulled him close again. "Now, damn it, I know you're tired, and I am too. Go to sleep." Rima began to hum some human lullaby she had learned until both of them were asleep, pressed close together, like kittens in a pile.
"They're so cute like that!" Ms. Shiki exclaimed in a whisper, peering into Rima's room.
"They understand each other. They don't have any fear when it comes to each other, and they're not afraid to sleep in the same bed. Want to bet on if they'll end up together as adults?"
Ms. Shiki shook her head, because she knew if she placed a bet on that, she would lose.
A/N: I'm trying to get everything done quickly, but I hope you liked this anyway. If not, I may write a new one when the storm is over.
