#6 Look at me

Hey girl, look over here, will you?

What do I have to do to make you meet my eyes?

I'm making a fool out of myself now, trying to get you to at least glance my way. But you don't, instead I have these crazy girls all over me, wanting every piece of me.

When all I want is your eyes on me.

I want those droopy chocolate orbs to look through my soul, to see me for who I am. Of course, I wouldn't mind if you see me for my good looks, too. I know I'm gorgeous, but that's not the point. I really just want you to notice (admire, adore, desire, want, love) me. Can you do that, girl?

But I don't even know your name. Someday, I will though.

Someday your eyes will look at me and only me.

Someday you'll see me and you won't be able to take your eyes off of me.

Someday, just wait.

#7 Denial

I'm standing right here.

I'm looking at you, senpai.

I don't want you to notice me.

I don't want you to look at me and see through my eyes, see through my pretense.

Because I'm interested.

Because I have been captivated by the blue of your eyes and the life in them.

Because my fingers itch with desire to run through your golden hair.

Because I want to trace your face and memorize your features to etch them in my mind.

Because I want to know your quirks, your habits, your favorite food, your favorite book, your favorite color, and your everything.

Because I'm in love with you.

And I am more than scared.

So I will deny the existence of these feelings, of my want, my desire to be by your side and to be with you.

I won't ever let you get near me.

#8 Outsiders

They danced around each other. He chased her and she hid from him.

'Hopeless.' Kain thought. 'His cousin was hopeless.'

But he couldn't put all the blame on the idiot. Clearly, the girl had some issues of her own. Every time Hanabusa made an attempt to get near her, she was somehow ten feet farther. Really, it was amusing to watch.

"Wakaba-san, doesn't like Aido so much, hm?" came the cheery voice of Takuma Ichijou.

He didn't know what to say (and he wasn't much for words anyway), so he just gave the Vice President a wry smirk.

"Aa, they've been at it since the party started. I couldn't help but wonder…" The green-eyed vampire shook his head and looked at Kain meaningfully.

Kain returned his gaze with a blank look. It was Hanabusa's business, not for him to tell.

Ichijou sighed with too much flare to be sincere and gave him a knowing look. "Aido is lucky to have you as his cousin." The manga-obsessed vampire gave him one last overly sparkly smile then sashayed towards the Kuran Pureblood who was busy lurki—er, looking after the prefect girl.

The fire-manipulating vampire turned his head once more to his flaky cousin and the quiet reserved girl.

Hanabusa was trying to discretely creep along the walls to where the doe-eyed girl was talking in hushed tones with Yuuki Cross, it would have worked if there wasn't a horde of overly enthusiastic fangirls clambering after their 'Idol-senpai'. When Wakaba noticed him, she looked over Cross' shoulder to give his cousin a look that put his ice-manipulating skill to shame. Surprised, Aido backed a couple of steps, cerulean eyes wide and flabbergasted, bumping against a fangirl who proceeded to make a scene by latching against the blue-eyed vampire's neck and squealing like a pig about to be butchered to make hams for Christmas, only it sounded like the pig was having an orgasm. The other girls began to stir and push each other away to get a piece of their favorite playboy.

Kain would have laughed aloud (if it wasn't terribly out of character), but held himself because the Vampire prefect was gonna flip—and possibly Kaname-sama in a more obscure manner then proceed to slap his cousin silly, again. He only sighed, and ran a weary hand through his hair further messing it up; it stood up in wavy spikes but a few silky strands fell on his smooth forehead and framed his gorgeous face (unknowingly, igniting more shrill screams from the rabid fangirls).

And he wondered how he came to be related to someone as stupid as Hanabusa Aido.

#9 Do you have a map?

"'cause I seem to be lost in your eyes."

Then he winked flirtatiously.

Sayori gave him a blank look, and began to walk slightly faster.

Aido's face fell, but did an impressive recovery in milliseconds, and was again in step with Yori.

"Yori-chan, aren't you tired at all?"

There was that overly everything grin pasted on his admittedly good-looking face, and Yori was immediately on guard.

"I'm not." She deadpanned.

"Are you sure?"

He was quick to add, "because you've been running on my mind all day."

This time, Yori really did walk a lot faster.

#10 In a different world

They would have a chance.

If she wasn't just a human, and if he wasn't a noble vampire, maybe they would be going to the same school.

He would be the school's famous heartthrob, and girls would follow him everywhere he went.

She would be the mousy girl that hung out in the library and had one friend that she would trust with her life.

He would be the genius and would always be first despite spending his time sleeping or skipping class.

She would be smart too, and in close second, but she would be working hard in class, studying hard for exams, and staying up all-night to perfect her school work.

He would ignore her and she would avoid him.

But fate would work its magic and they would somehow know each other.

He would learn that in her silence she could speak more words that would cut the soul.

And she would learn that the child-like innocence in his eyes was not all fake.

Then he would notice that her eyes were doe-like, and they shone in a way that made the brown of her eyes turn to molten gold in a split second, if he looked deeply.

And she would acknowledge that the blue of his eyes was more beautiful than the depths of the ocean.

Everywhere he went, he would automatically look for her in the crowd.

And she would begin to get out more so somehow he would be able to find her.

And then they would just walk together.

Most of the time, he would be the one talking, and she would listen quietly, but sometimes when she was the one to say something, he would listen intently, hanging on to every word that came out of her mouth.

They would be friends first.

He would begin to see that her eyes were not cold, but they were kind.

She would realize that despite his grumbling, he would help and give his everything in whatever he did.

Then, he would fall for the warmth of her smile, the gentleness of her touch, the kindness in her eyes, the softness of her heart, and the things that make her Wakaba Sayori.

And secretly, she would admit to herself that he is beautiful, more than his face, but the beauty of his actions, of his need to prove himself, of how he laughed so easily, of how his eyes lit up when he saw her, of how he wasn't scared to say what's on his mind, and of everything that made him Aido Hanabusa.

He would still be arrogant, and selfish.

And she would still be stubbornly taciturn, and determinedly stoic.

But they would just be right for each other.

However, in this world, she is still only human and he is still a noble vampire.

They can't be together, but perhaps someday…
