Chapter 6

Outside Zero room, with Kaname

What's taking them so long? Maybe I'm just being paranoid, yeah, that's probably it, it's probably only been a few minutes since I've been out here. Looking down at his watch he saw it read 4:26am.

4:26am how has it already been an hour already! Why hasn't Cross come and got me yet? Maybe Zero did more damage than what I thought? I hope he's okay. I'll give it another 10 minutes, but if he still hasn't come out, then I'm going in!

Just as Kaname finished that thought Kaien come out of the room, shutting the door after him. Why is he shutting the door? Am I not allowed to see Zero? But why? What if Zero regretting what happened between us and has changed his mind! Pain run though Kaname body, it felt like someone had taken his heart out and cut it to pieces then put it back into his body.

Kaien looked up after shutting Zero door and was surprised to see pain and hurt reflected in the normal closed off wine eyes. I guess both have let their guards down today. But why does he look in so much pain?... Following Kaname eye sight he saw it lead to the Zero's door. Ohh, he must be thinking the worst because I haven't let him in to see Zero. Clearing his throat to gain the pureblood attention he spoke in a gentle voice. "Kaname, the reason why I haven't let you in to see Zero yet is because I want to have a private talk with you." Watching the pain disappear from the wine eyes with understanding, he's decided to continue.

"Zero has shattered his shoulder bone and broken his collar bone. He needs to wear a sling at ALL time, so when I'm not around could you please make sure he wears it?" Kaien had a slightly pleading voice. "Of course, I'll make sure he wears it at all times. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there are a couple more things I wanted to speak about. One I wanted you to take care of MY son and if you ever hurt him, I'm I'll make sure you'll feel twice the pain" there was a dangerous look in Kaien eyes that promised pain, if Kaname ever hurt Zero. Kaname swallowed before answering. "I wouldn't ever dream of hurting him, he is the light of my life." Kaien smiled at Kaname and continue. "That's brilliant Kaname, Zero has been through enough he doesn't need any more pain in his life" Kaname nodded in agreement.

"Okay the other thing I wanted to ask you in case Zero don't tell you is Zero will heal faster with blood either weekly or daily. Seeing as you are in a serious relationship now and how much you care for Zero I figured you wouldn't mind giving him a bit of your blood seeing as you done it in the pasted, you can decide when you want to feed him together."

The pureblood was shocked that Kaien even knew he had given his blood to Zero in the pasted, nobody knew what they had done. Well, he didn't think anyone knew anyone, he also didn't think Zero would tell anyone. How did he know unless Zero told him? Nobody knew. NOBODY. So how did he find out? Knowing what Kaname was thinking Kaien decided to enlighten him "You'll be surprised what Zero tells me." Kaname face was priceless, for the first time in the pureblood life he was gobsmacked. "You mean to say Zero told you about what happened?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Zero tells me pretty much everything. We're a lot closer than people realise. How about I'll let you into a little secret about Zero and my relations together?"

"There is more between the two of you other than adopting him?" Kaname was now very interested to find out more about Zero. In fact, he wanted to know everything about Zero. "Yes, it's not publicly known for Zero and my own personal reasons, which, if you want to know you'll have to ask Zero, but I am in fact Zero mother." If Kaname was gobsmacked before, now he was well and truly blown away. He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask them, plus now wasn't the right time as he still needed to see Zero.

"Kaname. I can't say anything more than that, as I made a promise with Zero. So if you have any more questions save them for another time and ask Zero when HE'S ready to answer. For now, go and see Zero before he falls asleep, I've gave him strong pain killers, add that with blood loss and he'll be out soon. I'm sure he's wondering where you have gotten too, well, assuming he's still awake that is, he was half asleep when I left the room and that was about 15 minutes ago."

Kaname gather his thought and put them aside for a later date. "You're right Cross, I should go and see him before he sleeps. Thank you for looking after him, I'll make sure he's wearing his sling at all times also that he gets the blood he needs. I'm going to say the night with him, so I'll see you tomorrow."

He smiles at Kaien and proceeded to make his way past the man into Zero's room. "It is I, who should be thanking you Kaname. Without you I wouldn't have Zero anymore, words cannot describe how grateful I am to you." Turning around to face Cross, his hand still holding on to Zero door handle "You have no idea how happy I am to make it in time to save him. He means so much to me and without him, my world would lose its beauty. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to see my boyfriend" with that Kaname had open Zero room and shut the door behind him before Cross had the chance to reply.

"Well, I guess I should go and burn this shirt before it upset the night class anymore. I'm surprised Kaname didn't react to it, it was probably because he was more focused on Zero wellbeing to even notice it." With that's Kaien left on his way to his house.

Inside Zero room

Kaname silently walked closer to Zero, his wine eyes taking every single feature of his beloved face. Zero eyes were closed, but he knew the hunter was still awake by his breathing pattern. Once he got to Zero bedside, he sat himself down by the hunter waist. "Zero, honey, are you okay?" His voice was almost a whisper.

Zero eyes opened into slits, not having enough energy to open them fully, he looked at Kaname. "I'm fine, just tired. Did mu….. I mean Kaien tell you everything?" Hoping that the pureblood didn't hear his slip up and would just put it down to him being sleepy.

Kaname on the other hand did hear what Zero almost said, and thought it would be best to tell the hunter, that he knew that Cross was his mother, so Zero wouldn't have to cautious about what he said when they were together. "Zero, Cross told me about you relations. He told me he was your mother, but he didn't tell me any more than that, he said if I wanted to know anything more than that I had to ask you."

Zero was shocked that Kaien told Kaname about them, but he understood why he told him. Both Kaname and Zero are going to need to tell the other information about themselves. What they haven't told anyone else, seeing as both of them have enemies, they will be able to protect each other if they know more about each other.

"He did? I'm glad he did, we need to know more things about each other, in case something bad happens. By knowing more about each other, we can keep each other safe and there won't be any misunderstanding between us. What exactly did mum tell you?"

Kaname was surprised by how well he handled that piece of information, he was sure Zero would have been a bit upset about what Cross told him. But the hunter was right, they needed to know as much as possible about each other, so they'll be able to tell if someone was bluffing or outright lying to them about the other. I'm looking forward to knowing every little thing about Zero, even down to the tiniest things, like does he prefer coffee or tea or what his favourite colour is.

"He only told me that he was your mother and I'll need to ask you for the details. He also told me to give you some blood on weekly or daily, as it'll help with the healing process plus you need to keep that sling on at all times, so don't even think of taking it off when I'm around. furthermore, I think it's a good idea that we get to know more about each other, I'm looking forward to learning more about you." He finished with a charming smile at Zero; but he knew Zero was finding it hard to stay awake.

Zero tried to smile but ended up yawning instead. "I'll tell you why I didn't live with mum when I was younger tomorrow, it's a long story and a bit complicated, I'm too tired to do it now and I don't want to miss anything out by accident. Okay? So why don't we continue this conversation tomorrow? When I'm more attentive." His voice was laced with sleep and slightly slurred.

"That's fine with me love, you need your rest. This can wait till tomorrow, but I'm staying the night. There's no way I'm leaving you after what happened tonight, I finally have you I'm never letting you go, plus I want to give you some more blood in the morning. " Kaname gazed at him. I'm in love with his eyes.

"Okay, but you're sleeping in bed with me. I got mum to put some spare pyjamas on the side for you; they're too big on me but should fit you perfectly. "Kaname gave him an amused smile what made Zero blush, his cheeks looked like they had been painted with red. "I had a feeling you would stay the night, you need rest too, and I don't mind sharing my bed with you." Zero averted his eyes as he finished talking.

"Well, aren't you a sweetheart, worrying about me getting rest when it's you, you should be worrying about. I'll change in the bathroom and have a quick shower, then I'll come straight back, okay love. Oh, and you don't need to wait up for me, I can tell you tired" Kaname said, standing up from Zero once he finished talking. Zero was now blushing up to his ear, once Kaname had finished taking.

How is even possible for me to blush this much after losing so much blood? God, how can he say those loving words so casually? It's embarrassing, but I like the warm feeling I get, when he says things like that. Zero thought after Kaname had finished speaking.

Kaname seemed to be waiting for Zero to say something before, going off to change into the bathroom. Taking a deep breath to compose himself once more, then in a shy voice he said. "I just didn't want you to be uncomfortable in your uniform and you need your rest too, and I won't wait up." I'm differently going to stay awake till he comes back, just to make sure this isn't a dream.

Kaname leant down a placed a gentle kiss on Zero cheek, he pulled back to look into Zero beautiful lilac eyes. "Thank you Zero, I love you" Zero looked back into Kaname wine eyes; the blush he had only just got rid of, came back when he heard Kaname's lovingly spoken words. "I love you too, Kaname" he loved the way Kaname eyes light up when he said those words, Kaname kissed him. The kiss was gentle, loving and passionate it lasted for a couple of seconds. "I'm going now; I'll be back in a few." Giving Zero one last chase kiss before leaving Zero bedroom.

Zero watched Kaname walk into his bathroom before moving over to make some room for the pureblood. After he made more than enough room for him, he rested his eyes and waited for Kaname to come back. I can't wait for tomorrow to come and Kaname and I can have a proper talk together. Plus, I need to talk to Yuki and tell her about me and Kaname being in a relationship. Zero smiles fondly at that thought, of being in a relationship. But right now my body feels so heavy, I just wanna sleep, but I need to stay awake a few more minutes, just until Kaname has come back and is in bed with me.

~10 minutes later~

He opened his eyes, when he heard the click of the door being opened. Kaname appeared before him, the pyjamas fitted Kaname perfectly. Kaname felt like he was on cloud 9, Zero loved him back and it was the best feeling in the world knowing that the person he loved, loved him back. He looks so adorable when he's half asleep, but I shouldn't keep him awake any longer I'm sure he's exhausted. Even though he did say he would go to sleep while I showered and changed…. But I can't blame him, he probably just wanted to make sure this was real.

He moved towards the bed but just before he got there, Zero moved the cover back with his free hand. He got into bed with Zero, they gave each other a gentle kiss before Kaname pulled the hunter towards him, wrapping his arms around the hunter waist, Zero rested his head onto Kaname chest, being careful not to knock his shoulder.

"I love you Zero"

"I love you too, Kaname"

With that they both shut their eyes and fall asleep.

Thanks for reading! I know Zero seems way out of chapter at the moment, but that's because he overwhelmed with his feelings and emotionally unstable, so after Kaname saved him, he doesn't have his guard up. He will be back get some of his old self back, but with some changes (like not hating all vampires) in a few more chapters. Kaname is still going to be extra loving to him, as he blames himself for Zero attempted suicide. Please comment/review
