Chapter 4

To say Zero was speechless was an understatement….

Was I hearing things right? Maybe I've become delusional from blood loss? Did….. Did Kaname just say he's in love…. With ME? But…that impossible right….?

Zero was brought out of his thoughts when Kaname laid a gentle but cautious, kiss on his lips. Kaname must have seen his lost expression and decided to 'help' clear his confusion. Kaname moved so his month were by Zero's ear and whispered those special words.

"I love you."

The tears that hadn't long stopped, started flowing again from Zero's slightly swollen eyes, but this time they are tears of happiness.

Kaname… is serious he really does love me. I DID hear him right. God…. I nearly made the biggest mistake of my life. Kaname must have been in a panic when he smelt my blood; he must have been in so much pain when he saw me in a puddle of my own blood. How could I put this beautiful, kind-hearted creature, though so much pain? Even if it was unintentional. He must be blaming himself because I didn't come to him when I needed blood….. I guess it's time for me to do the talking.

"Kaname….I would hug you if I had the strength to move…. Can you look at me please" Kaname complied and looked into Zero eyes, a smile gracing both their lips. "Kaname, I know you may be blaming yourself for this, but my attempting suicide WASN'T your fault, okay? I …I did it because I didn't want to cause you or anyone pain anymore…. Before you argue with me….just hear my side of the story first…."

Zero watched him nod in understanding before continuing. "First off, I was and still am grateful to you for giving me your blood; I know how much of a big deal it is for a pureblood to give their blood. But you have to understand, I'm a hunter, I've always been told to hate vampire and with everything that happened with my family it wasn't exactly hard not to. When I was turned into a vampire…it was the most painful and hardest experienced I went through in my was so hard to go through and I hated myself so much for even thinking about blood….. Even once you told me you would help me and comfort me, but….. I felt so guilty… Kaname….. When that woman bit me… it was so painful….. and you were so kind to me…to think that I was putting you through that same pain, that's why I didn't seek you out…..It wasn't because I didn't care Kaname, it's because I did and that's why I didn't go to you….I have feeling for you too….. I….I love you too…"

Just as those words left his lips Zero was pulled into a powerful hug, butterfly kisses were put all over his pale face from Kaname.

It was only then when Zero realized what lead them to this situation, the pain from his shoulder hit him full force, the pain had been monumentally forgot with all the emotion he was feeling.

"AHH, KANAME! MY SHOULDER, YOU'RE SWEAZING ME TOO TIGHTLY"

Kaname immediately released Zero, making sure not to bring any more harm to him. "S***, Zero. I'm so, so, so, sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you…. I mean you said you love me too, right?...Right? I got all excited I just-, are you okay, do you need anything? Just say the word I I'll do anything or get you anything you want. Okay? Do you need my blood?"

Zero rolled his eyes at Kaname and replied, "I'm fine, really I am. It hurts like a b****, but it's my own fault I'm in this situation so….. Just try not to touch it us, your blood won't to heal it anymore then what it already has, your blood has done all it's can to fix it. I used anti-vampire bullets so my wound is going to heal but only slightly faster than a human wound would."

Kaname brushed Zero's hair out his eyes ever so softly. His fingers going down to Zero face to cup his cheek, looking deeply into the hunter's lilac eyes Kaname softly whispers "Do you really mean what you said Zero? Are you…..Are you really in love with me?"

Zero blinked his eyes, before rolling his eye at the pureblood antics. Then he gave Kaname an angelic smile, his eyes sparkled, the sight took Kaname's breath away. "Kaname, of course I meant what I said. In a way I think I always have, you were the only one who has always treated me the same and didn't take pity on me or say useless words in order to 'help' me. All I needed was someone to stay with me and that's you did."

Kaname froze.

Well if I wasn't in love with Zero before, I certainly would be in love with him now.

The unguarded expression of Zero's was so rare; it gave Kaname butterfly's in his stomach. The feeling was foreign to him, but it wasn't unwelcome, Zero is opening himself up to him and it's all he ever wanted and more. Never in his wildest dreams had he dreamed of his confession going this way, and Zero is accepting him so openly and returning his feelings, it was hard to imagine considering the hunters' tragic past.

Zero became shy under the pureblood gaze and looked down.

I can't believe this is happening to me, Kaname is exactly what I need and I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep his happiness. Do miracles really exist or am I classed as being one of those 'lucky ones'? I did attempted suicide only to be saved by a gorgeous pureblood only to find out that said pureblood is in love with me and now we're….wait what would you call this relationship?

Before Zero could answer his own question Kaname had pressed his lips to his, unable to contain himself because of Zero's cuteness. The kiss provided warmth running though both their body and they smile into the kiss. The kiss itself was full of love, gentleness, but mostly passion, when they broke apart they were both panting slightly. They looked at each other and saw the love shining through in both lilac and wine eyes.

Zero remembering his unanswered question to himself decided to ask Kaname. In a soft voice he asked, "what exactly are we now?"

When Kaname gave him a confused expression the decided to elaborate, "Umm, I mean what are we to each other now? Yeah, we love each other, but what are we classed as now?"

Understanding came to the pureblood when he realised what his beloved was asking. "We're in a relationship with now Zero…. Well, that if you want to be?" He saw Zero nodded his head immediately, so he continued. "So now we're in a relationship together, I suppose the proper term for us will be 'boyfriends'. Which means for now on I'll be take even more care for you and you can come to me whenever you need blood, you see Zero you taking blood from me doesn't hurt me in anyway, if anything I enjoy it."

Zero smiled happily at the answer he was given, relief flooding through him at the realization that he wasn't hurting the pureblood.

Kaname noticed Zero wince slightly when he moved. He felt horrible here he was telling the Zero he was going to take care of him and he hasn't even helped him when he needed it!

"Zero, I'm sorry I should've helped you sooner, just give me a second to call Seiren, your blood caused a stir in the moon dorms. We need Cross here to examine the damage you've caused to yourself, seeing as I haven't had much experience in this area."

Kaname sighed at the thought of not being able to help and Zero smiled reassuringly at him.

"It's okay Kaname, if you did call Cross straight away, I wouldn't have gained an amazing boyfriend tonight, now would I?" Kaname blushed at Zero statement, but felt a warmth rise in his stomach.

I don't think I would ever be this happy!

Giving Zero a brief kiss, before sitting his beloved on the bed. Moving towards the window, he pulled out his phone; he found his self-appointed-bodyguards number and sent a text telling her to reassuring the others and that he was fine but won't be returning till tomorrow. Then going on to say that he needed her to go and get Cross, tell him that Zero has been injured and in need of medical supplies then to bring him to Zero dorm room.

Zero look at the back of his Saviour/boyfriend, while Kaname continued to text oblivious to Zero gaze.

I love him so much, I've finally found my reason to live and look forward to the future. I wonder what everyone will think when they find out about us…..It's not like I care for their opinions, but it will be amusing to see their reaction.

Zero smiled when he sees Kaname put his phone away and start walking back to him.

Once Kaname got her text informing him that she was on her way, he walked back to Zero's bed. He sat his back leaning on the headboard and pulled Zero to him, being careful of his injured shoulder, softly running his fingers through Zero hair.

I'm so glad that I made it in time. Kaname thought.

Cross residence, 3:05am

Cross was in the kitchen once again 'baking treats' for his beloved 'children'. However, in reality all he was doing was putting a bunch of random ingredients into a bowl and hoping for the best.

Zero and Yuki will be so happy when they see all the love I put into making them treats, I can't wait to see their faces.

He spins around in his pink frilly apron to grab some more items from a cupboard behind him, when a purple haired vampire suddenly appeared before him. Jumping from shock and letting out a squeal, what could rival the day class girls, when they see their beloved night class.

"Jesus! Seiren, are you trying to give me a heart attack!?" Putting his hands over his heart, willing it to calm down and to get his breathing under control.

Fake tears in his eyes, trying to gain sympathy from the vampire. Not overly concerned about Cross as she was on a 'mission' for Kaname-Sama, she proceeded to tell him what Kaname asked her to. However, she had a feeling she needs to at least say sorry before Cross would listen to her.

"I'm sorry headmaster, but I've been sent by Kaname-Sama to tell you that Kiryu has been injured and in need of medical attention. He intrusted me get tell you to get the medical supplies and take you to Kiryu's room in the Day dorms. Kiryu is currently in Kaname-Sama care until you get there."

After she finished telling him this in her usual poker face. She was, however, intrigued when she saw Cross personality changed completely. The once clumsy and bubbly Cross was gone, replaced by a serious and concerned one.

"Seiren, would you be as kind as to stay here and turn off the ovens, while I go and collect the first aid kit?" While Cross was talking, he had taken off his, very girly, apron and was waiting for the girls answer before walking out the room.

Noticing Cross's agitation to leave the room and help his son so quickly, Seiren nodded and watched him run out of room to get the necessary items needed. As she promised she had turned off the all the ovens, once she had finished Cross had returned and nodded at her.

"Thank you. Seiren, you have been a big help. Now let's go and see what my troublesome son has done." If Kaname is with Zero, then I hope they are getting along, especially seeing as Kaname has gone out his way to take care of him.
