Chapter 8

Outside the Moon dorms, 3:35pm

Kaname and Zero arrived at the Moon dorms, Kaname picked up Zero bridal style and jump up to his balcony window. He placed Zero down and used his telekinesis to opened the door, letting Zero walk in first so he could shut the door behind them. He helped undo Zero sling and take off Zero's coat and top before giving him a robe to wear and making Zero put the sling back on.

Zero looked around the purebloods room; this was the first time he's been in the room. Mum said he treated the Vampires the same as the day class students, but that's clearly a lie, considering the way Kaname room is designed, it looks like I just walked into a prince's room. I guess, you could argue that Kaname is a prince, seeing as purebloods are rare. But still this is extreme for school standards; all of Kaname's furniture is made from Mahogany and looks very sophisticated. He looked towards Kaname bed. Seriously, his bed is massive you could fit at least 8 people in it. Whereas my room only has a small double bed and normal oak furniture, nothing compared to Kaname's room.

Kaname saw Zero wide eyes looking around his room, he smiled while he watched Zero for a few seconds before he left the room for a moment to draw the bath and to change his clothes. When he returned Zero had taken a sit on the window sill. He had his back on the window frame, his left arm leaning against the window; he had his left leg bent on the window still and the other one hanging lifelessly down to the floor. He was looking out the window, watching the wildlife that lived in the forest.

Noticing his boyfriend return, Zero looked at Kaname he noticed that Kaname had now put on a pair of dark blue Ted Baker jeans, crimson coloured Ralph Lauren top and a pair of black socks. He waited for Kaname to say something first, as he wasn't sure what to say now. Kaname saw this and said the first thing what come to mind. "Would you like something to drink, while we wait for the bath to fill?" Zero turned his head to the side, considering the pureblood question before he answered. I haven't had anything to drink since dinner yesterday. (He wasn't counting the blood Kaname had given him as a drink).

"That would be nice, could I have some water?"

"Of course, I'll just get someone to get it for you". As he said this he got his phone out and typed something before putting it away. The hunter noticed this but didn't bother to say anything, he figured that the pureblood was just checking something on his phone, so turned his attention back outside.

Once Kaname put his phone away, he walked over to Zero, placing butterfly kisses on his neck and wrapping his arms gently around him, trying to avoid hurting Zero's shoulder as much as physically possible. He started his kisses at the bottom of Zero neck, but slowly began to travel up his neck and along his jawbone. Zero turned his head towards Kaname; they looked into each other eyes, lilac meeting wine and vase versa. It was hard to tell who started leaning forward first, but they both meet in a gentle kiss, Zero stood up and turn in Kaname arms, wrapping his left arm around Kaname neck, while Kaname had his hands in a loose hold around Zero's waist.

Before the kiss could become passionate, Kaname door was opened. Takuma was standing there; his mouth and emerald eyes were wide open in shock. Kaname and Zero looked at Takuma before gazing at each other, both getting the feeling of Déjà vu.

"Takuma, you should shut your mouth before flies go in it, and could you please shut the door behind you, I'm sure you have questions. But first I need to turn off the bath water." Kaname then turned back towards Zero, who was still looking at him, Kaname gave I'm a cheeky kiss on the lips before walking towards the bathroom, but just before he got to the door, he said over his shoulder "Oh, by the way, the water in Takuma hand is for you Zero" then went into the bathroom.

Takuma pulled his composure together and shut the door, when he turned around to face the hunter; he was surprised once again to find the usual grumpy hunter shifting on his feet nervously with a blush covering his cheeks. "So, um, here your drink," he said in his usual cheerful tone and move to sit on Kaname sofa, he placed Zero water on the coffee table.

Zero decided to follow his lead and take a seat on the opposite sofa from Takuma, picking up his drink and taking a few sips. "Thanks, for the drink" Zero said a little awkwardly, avoiding eye contact. Even though Kaname should have got it himself, then we could have avoided this awkward conversation.

"So, are Kaname and you now a couple?" Zero wasn't expecting Takuma to ask such a question, what made him look at Takuma in shock. Zero swallowed before answering, "um, yeah, we are. We were actually going to tell everyone today, after I've borrowed Kaname bath." His normal confident voice was coming back, but Takuma could tell the hunter was a little unsure of himself.

Takuma smiled reassuringly at Zero, he was going to ask Zero more, but Kaname walked into the room and nodded towards Takuma, before making his way towards Zero." Your bath is ready now love, I'll take your sling off for you then you can get in the bath."

Zero then processed to stand up and turn around so Kaname could undo his sling, once Kaname had undone it; he turned back around to face Kaname. "Thank you Kaname" Kaname smile, Zero gave is a quick kiss on the lips, before disappearing into the bathroom, before Kaname could react, but Kaname did see Zero's blushing red cheeks before the bathroom door shut.

Kaname stood there for a few second just blinking at the bathroom door, Zero sling still in his hand; it was only until Takuma cleared his throat did Kaname come back to reality; he smiled apologetically at Takuma, before sitting where Zero was.

"Thank you for bringing the water for Zero, Takuma"

"It's no problem at all Kaname, but I am curious as to the events that happened, leading up to you and Zero becoming a couple. I've known for a long time how much you wanted to be with Zero, so it is intriguing to see the two of you together, you both look so in love with each other. Was it you who finally confessed to him or was it Zero?"

Kaname leaned back on the sofa, a sobered expression coming onto his face, his wine eyes going glassy as he thought of his confession to Zero. After a second he looked back at Takuma "The events leading up to my confession…..Are not the best." He looked over his shoulder to make sure Zero had shut the door all the way, he listened to see if he could hear the sound of movement in the bath water. Once he was satisfied Zero wouldn't over hear and feel guilty again, did he then turn his attention back towards Takuma to continue. "I'm sure you've seen Zero shoulder." Kaname said waiting for Takuma to answer before continuing.

"Yeah, I did, he must have done something pretty bad for it to take so long for him to heal. Was it Zero blood we smelt yesterday?" Takuma said in an unusual serious expression on his face. Kaname took a deep breath; it was still hard for him to know that Zero attempted suicide instead of asking for help, he didn't think the image of Zero still body on the floor in a pool of his own blood, would ever leave his mind. I'll just have to reassure him every day that he's loved and wanted, so he never gets that idea in his head again.

"Yes, it was his blood we smelt yesterday. The reason it was so strong was because he…..he attempted suicide". Takuma gasped, shock at what he was just told. Kaname, no wonder you look so gloomy right now….To find out the person you love the most tried to end their life, must have been devastating for him. I can't even begin to imagine how I would feel if I knew Senri tried to commit suicide.

"Kaname, if it's too painful to talk, we don't have to…..I can guess what happened, basically you saved him and confessed to him, he felt the same way and now here we are. You don't have to go into detail about it, I understand. Well, I don't, because I've never been in that kind of situation, but I sympathize with you." He smiled reassuringly at Kaname.

Kaname was grateful that he had, such an understanding friend. He just hopes the rest of the night class will take the news positively, he really didn't want Zero to feel bad about being in a relationship together with him, just because a few vampires didn't understand or are jealous.

"Thank you for understanding, and I think you summarized it up perfectly. I'm just going to check on Zero now and give him a give him his clothes. We are going to announce to the others that we're together, hopefully they take it well, but there is nothing they can do about it anyway if they don't agree." He said standing up from his seat and moved towards the bathroom.

"I'm sure that they won't be too much trouble, as you said it's not their place to tell you who you should be with, but I'm almost positive a few of them will be jealous. Would you like me to gather them for you, while you attend to Zero?"

"That would be very helpful, Takuma. Inform them that I have a personal announcement to make and will be down shortly."

"Of course Kaname, I'll see you again shortly." Once Takuma had left, Kaname was already by the bathroom door. He knocked before saying. "Zero, it's me. Can I come in?" he heard a muffled "yeah" from Zero so he opened the door.

Once he opened the door, he found Zero still in the bath, bubble covering his body, his back leaning against the bath, only his head was out of the water, his eyes were closed and he looked so relaxed. Kaname walked to the bath, sitting so he was facing Zero, he started running his hand thought Zero's hair.

"How are you feeling?" Zero opened his eyes lazily and looked at Kaname. "I'm feeling a lot better now, thanks. Mum obviously spoils the night class, your whole bathroom in bigger than my room and everything is just so…..sophisticated and grand compare to the Sun dorms. Well, I guess I am a bit spoiled myself, seeing as mum lets me have my own room, plus I get my own shower unlike the rest of the dorm, but this bath is huge! I bet you could fit at least 4 people in it."

"ha-ha Well, you can always stay over here whenever you want, in fact I insist on it. What's mine is now yours." Zero smiled happily at Kaname. "And what's mine is yours too, Kaname." Zero took Kaname hand what was stroking his hair and place kisses on Kaname knuckles, Kaname smiled at Zero affectionate side. "I love you, thank you for saving me" Zero said in a soft voice, looking at Kaname through his eyelashes. Kaname's eyes light up with happiness and kissed Zero passionately, Zero kissed him back with the same amount of passion. Kaname ended the kiss quickly because he didn't want Zero to overheat in the bath. "I love you too, Zero. Do you want me to wash your hair? It's already 3:48, we only have 11 minutes left until everyone goes to breakfast, Takuma has gone to gather everyone, so they're ready and waiting for us to tell them we're together."

"Okay. You can wash my hair, but be quick; I don't want them to be late for their breakfast". Kaname rolled his eyes at Zero. "A few minutes late wouldn't hurt them". Kaname then proceeded to help Zero sit up and wash his hair, once Kaname had put the shampoo in Zero hair and was rubbing it in. Zero suddenly said "Do you use this shampoo a lot? It smells like you."

"It's my favourite, it has a rose scent to it."

"I like it, but it suits you more than me. I prefer lavender for myself."

"I think that suits you too, but I like having my scent on you, then everyone knows you're mine".

Zero smiled at Kaname statement. "I'm sure people will know we're in a relationship, seeing as we will be spending our free time together, and I can already tell we are going to be one of those couples who show affections in public." Kaname tiled Zero head up and washed the shampoo out of his hair and started applying the conditioner.

"Of course we're. We have not reason to be ashamed of our relationship. Even in human society gay marriages has now become legalised and people have accepted it, we don't need to worry about vampires' opinions on us, as it doesn't concern them, beside all vampires are bisexual, like hunters there can be male pregnancies, but it requires the need to want a child; anyway once a vampire falls in love our feeling never fade, they only increase over time. So the only thing I need to worry about, is you falling out of love with me, but I'm going to do everything in my power to stop that." Kaname finished in his usual confidence tone, but there was a slight tone of worry in his voice, but you had to listen closely to be able hear it.

"You don't need to worry, that's never going to happen. I want to be with you always and nothing will change that fact. I told you last night, that we would form and blood bond and get married one day, I love you." Zero said in a serious tone, he had no doubt in his mind that he would ever break up with Kaname. Kaname let out a sigh of relief, happy that Zero wouldn't leave him, he finished washing off the conditioner out of Zero hair.

"Thank you Zero, you have no idea how much I longed to hear you say those words and I love you too, more than you'll ever know. I've finished washing your hair; all what's left to do is get dried and dressed. Do you want me to stay or help or I can wait for you in my bedroom?"

Zero thought about it for a while, on one hand, he was really shy to be naked in front of Kaname, but on the other he didn't want Kaname to leave either. So he came up with a compromise. "You can stay, but can you… um face the wall and keep your eyes shut till I have my boxers on?"

"Okay, just let me know when I can turn around and open my eyes." Zero nodded shyly in response and watched his boyfriend turn around. Once he was sure Kaname wasn't looking, did he then get out of the bath; he quickly dried himself and put his boxers on. "It's okay now. You can turn around" Zero said and continued getting dressed. It was only when Kaname turned around did he regret his decision to stay, not because he didn't like what he saw. No. it was the exacted opposite, he loved what he saw (a bit too much).

Maybe waiting for Zero in my bedroom was the better idea, how could Zero be so self-conscious of his body when he's so perfect. Sure, he got a few scars here and there from his childhood as a human, but they just little memory on his body, sometimes I wish I could scar so I could look at them and remember how I got them.

Kaname saw Zero having trouble putting on his top because of his shoulder so he went and helped him. Zero let Kaname manoeuvre the top so he could put his bad arm through the sleeve hole, with the least amount of pain.

"We just need to put your sling on then we can go". Zero pouted at the statement, but didn't say anything; he knew he would still end up wearing the stupid sling even if he started to complain. Kaname just chucked at Zero and lead him to his sling on the sofa and put it on Zero. "There we go Zero, we have 7 minutes to get to the other and announce our relationship before the night class leaves."

"We better leave then." Kaname gave Zero a chase kiss before leaving the room hand-in-hand, walking towards the common room.
