I watched as all the girls gave their Valentine's chocolate to the Night Class as they walked towards the school. The girls cheered as they walked by. The high-pitched shriek started to give me a headache.
Aido was on a high, Kaname was being nice and sincere, Shiki and Akatsuki looked bored out of their minds and Ichijo was friendly. I turned my head to look back at the Moon Dormitory. These people….they seem nice now. Maybe…just maybe we could live together like the Chairman said. I watched Yuki out of the corner of my eye as I "supervised" the chocolate giving.
'Are you giving anyone a Valentine's chocolate?' I turned around to find Zero looking at me. I gave him a small hug and tapped his cheek softly. 'I already told you, silly. I will only give a chocolate to my family and the one that I will find is the right guy for me.' I smiled but it quickly ended. I had spotted Aidou trying to get the blood out of another Day Class Girl.
'Talk to you later!' I called out as I ran to break them up. I then pulled Aidou away by the ear and looked at him sternly. He glared back and said, 'What do you want, Tsuki-chan?' I smiled evily and started walking away. His face changed to confusion and slowly turned to anger as he saw that I had one of his precious boxes of chocolate was bouncing in my hand. He ran after me, yelling, 'I need that box of chocolates! I will not lose to Akatsuki!' I turned back to face him and said, 'Chocolates and feelings. Nothing else.' Then I placed the box back into his hands and pat him on the head. 'Now go ahead and be a good boy.' As he walked off, I shook my head. Even though he may be hundreds of years older than me, he was just like a child.
I went back to monitor the chocolate giving. All seemed fine until Yuki fell over. Her box of chocolates rolled out of her pocket and landed flat on her face. Ouch…that's going to hurt…Then I saw the most astonishing thing. Zero actually helped Yuki pick up her box of chocolates and threw it to Kaname! I felt my mouth open wide. Then I heard Kuran say 'I accept. Thank you Yuki.' My face became happy as I saw a bright blush appear on Yuki's face.
But once Kaname was gone…
'HOW DARE YOU JUST GIVE IT TO KANAME LIKE THAT! I COULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!' yelled Yuki, her fists punching out at Zero. The anime crosses appeared on Zero's head and he yelled back, 'You were going to wimp out! I saw you! OWW!' She stopped, then turned her head back and pouted, 'Because he probably didn't want it anyway…' I noticed a slight sadness in her voice. 'He belongs with the Night Class. I can only ever catch a glimpse of what it must be like. The world that he lives in… the things that he sees… He's so different from me…' But as she said that, my head moved in the direction of the Night Class students, I saw that Kaname had given away all his chocolates… except one. He held Yuki's chocolate close to his lips.
I smirked. He likes her too…
But when I looked back, Yuki had gone to get Aidou away from another Day Class girl and Zero had disappeared completely. Aidou really has a one-track mind, doesn't he?
Realising what might of happened,I quickly ran by the school building and ran up to the Chairman's office. I opened the door with a great force, still panting. 'Is Zero okay?' I looked at the Chairman and followed his gaze to the corner of the room. I rushed over and kneeled in front of him. I just noticed that there was water and glass all over the floor. 'Zero, are you okay?' He looked at me sadly and nodded. 'Oh, Zero!' I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight. I saw the glass. I saw the water.I knew what Zero had done. He was in so much pain and he was still resisting? A few tears escaped my eyes as my hug became tighter.
A hand rested on my shoulder and I turned to see the Headmaster. His hand gently went up to my eyes and wiped the tears from my eyes. 'I'll take care of him for now. I think Yuki needs your help, though.' I nodded and stood up. Zero looked up at me and his eyes were so sad. His sadness fell on me. I hated seeing him sad, before and now. 'I'll see you soon.' And with a small wave, I jumped out of the window. As I felt the wind blowing through my hair, I couldn't help but hear Yuki's words echo in my head. But he's so different to me… And we were just like him.
'Yuki! I'm back. Sorry!' I ran towards her as fast as I can and helped to control the Day Class girls. It took another hour to shove them back to their dorms. And another 20 minutes to pack up the stalls and go update the Chairman. The Chairman decided to let us off that evening and he would go out patroling. I looked at him with a thankful look and grabbed my pyjamas. 'Yuki, I'm going to the Guest bathroom. Meet you in my room?' She nodded and headed towards the Chairman's bathroom.
As I turned the hot water on and let the water pour over my head, I thought: Zero didn't look good today. How much longer will he last before he breaks?
