"You should be more careful next time." Kaien said softly as his son stared at him with that unyielding gaze. He held Zero's index finger. The young boy accidentally cut his finger when he was plucking Yuki's favorite flowers. Honestly, Zero managed to get hurt in everything he did, purposely or not. It worried Kaien to no end.
"The blood won't stop." Young Zero pouted. The blood's scent tempted him.
The soon-to-be-headmaster smiled as he kissed the tip of the wounded finger. He took a teddy bear plaster from the small box in the drawer. "Here," He wrapped it around Zero's finger, neatly and gently. "All done."
Zero blinked, "Why did you do that?"
"What?"
"You kissed my finger."
Kaien chortled, "Of course I did that. You are my son after all." Zero blushed, stomping out from the living room like a spoiled kid. Before the older man stood, he heard a shy mutter 'thanks, dad' from Zero. It made Kaien smile for the rest of the night.
