xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx back at K-bar xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After Zero left, the atmosphere at the bar became stale, especially with the previously upbeat teacher currently sulking like a child whose parents left him alone. Gin lost count of how many sighs he let out while trying his best to pay attention to the conversation with Aido and Ryou. Meanwhile, Ichiru invited the pureblood to sit in the VIP room where they could talk without worrying about prying eyes or ears.
"I apologize for the nasty attitude of my brother, Kuran! Please don't mind him too much?" Ichiru started the conversation as he relaxed in the comfortable plush seat after placing his drink on the low table in front of him.
Kaname joined him by sitting on the seat facing him and doing the same about his drink. He folded one leg over the other, threw a hand lazily on his knee while he cradled his chin with the back of his other hand which elbow supported him on the armrest of the comfortable seat, the deep red velvet fabric added to the relaxing atmosphere of the room.
"Don't worry about it, Ichiru-kun! He has all rights to despise me. After all, I did nothing but inflict pain upon him for my own profit and goals for few years. I am grateful that you, on the other hand, do not hold a grudge against me as well for causing the tragedy of your family."
Ichiru laughed softly, "It is more like I can't hold anything against you in that regard because I have been an accomplice in it as well. After all, I did encourage Shizuka to massacre them and then fled with her leaving my brother half-dead. I am eternally grateful that he found it in his heart to forgive me and I made an oath to dedicate the rest of my life atoning for my sins."
"Wise decision" stated Kaname,
"Anyways… I don't think that we came here to reminisce about the past did we?" Ichiru said in a joking tone while he lifted his glass in Kaname's direction and reclined again to take a sip. He held it in his hand while looking at the pureblood, waiting.
"I assumed as much… So? Did you invite me here to provide information or to ask for feedback?" Kaname inquired as he nursed the drink Zero prepared.
"I was hoping for the second option, seeing as you just came back from the meeting regarding the finding I provided Cross with not long ago. It will take him at least a week or two to fill me in with the official reports, too much time wasted." Ichiru complained.
Kaname smiled before answering, "Well… patience has never been a virtue of the Kiryuu clan, I suppose! The answer to your query is a positive one. Your assumptions were right all the way, and we held an urgent meeting to discuss counter measures regarding those findings."
"I am sure the patience remark is quoted after Cross, isn't it? That man is just too laid back for my taste, which makes me impatient in his opinion." Ichiru stated as he rolled his eyes
"This is really troubling. When I collected the information and compiled those statistics, I was hoping that the alarming increase of the pureblood-based pills was only due to an old stock making its appearance. However, I could not deny the possibility that a new pureblood could have been involved in making new ones…. Deep down, I was praying I would be wrong and that the DNA comparison would return that, it was Sara Shirabuki's blood." Ichiru let out an aggravated sigh while running his finger through silver bangs.
"It is in fact an unpleasant discovery. However, knowing this fact is always better than staying ignorant about the impeding threat. We have you to thank for noticing. For now, we issued a medical team with a warrant to collect blood samples from all members of the remaining purebloods, starting by myself, Yuki and Shouto-san of course. We are conducting it in the guise of collaboration to my research to turn vampires human as not to alarm the culprits…. Anyone who refuse is subject to immediate arrest for rebelling against the peace treaty which impose full collaboration with this research." Kaname explained with a wicked smile by the end.
Ichiru's eyes lit up with a mischievous glint "Nice! I can safely assume that this underhanded strategy is your idea… We would be extremely lucky if we can sniff out the culprit this way… However, my intuition tells me that the most suspected people are the ones who went into hiding during the war. Especially two of them who hold quite the grudge against you and the association."
Kaname contemplated the clanging ice in his glass, letting out a sigh, "The young master of the Touma family as well as the wife of the late lord Hanadagi."
"Exactly! After all, they were amongst those who encouraged the attack after the old parent perished. Not to mention that the young Touma is well known for his thirst for bloodbath and war." Ichiru added with a solemn face, remembering the casualties caused by those filthy monsters.
"The association is constantly on the lookout for their whereabouts. We cannot be certain that they are active in any of this yet, so even if we find them, we cannot arrest them unless we get proof of them turning humans, killing humans, or producing those tablets." Kaname's voice betrayed his poker face as a hint of irritation could be perceived for he remembered that the rebellion of those purebloods was due to his foolish actions in the past.
"If those were not enough trouble, we are having cases of rogue hunters in addition to rogue vampires that are forming ruthless alliances respectively to throw off the peace treaty. A headache!"
"Those are not that much of a hassle as long as they do not have powerful individuals backing them up. The rogue hunters seems to go according to the old hunter law of killing vampires going on rampage, which help us in some way. It is troublesome only when they target innocent vampires who are trying to live peacefully. "Kaname explained
Ichiru's eyes flickered, as he seemed to remember something "Speaking of vampires and hunters. A question has been bothering me for quite some time. From what Hanabusa explained to me about the pills; overconsumption could lead to three cases, turning directly to a mad level E vampire, dying of blood poisoning, and the worst case of two compatible consumers producing a pureblood as offspring. Am I right?" Ichiru paused waiting for Kaname who nodded confirming his findings
"Okay! Can you explain to me why none of these humans turned into a hunter as another consequence of overconsumption?" Ichiru recognized a flash of confusion on the pureblood face and decided to elaborate, "What I mean is, the original hunters were once humans without any special power. The first parent provided them with toxic amount of pureblood, many perished of blood poisoning. However, those who survived formed the original Hunters, our ancestors. Moreover, no record of the humans, who consumed the parent's blood, turning vampire has been found. As an ancient vampire who witnessed those events in person, I was hoping you could explain the reason why it is different now?" Ichiru's voice was upbeat as he was anxious to know the answer
Kaname sighed, inwardly wincing at the sharp brain of the silverette and his acute observation; he definitely should not make an enemy out of this kid. "The answer is simple; the difference is in the blood itself"
"How? We are talking about purebloods in both cases" Ichiru insisted, as he still could not see what Kaname meant.
"My memories of that time are still a bit hazy, like a fog hovering over them. However, I can distinctly remember that there was two types of what came to be known as purebloods nowadays. The purebloods that you know, Ichiru-kun, are the ones from the second generation onwards. The ancestor of purebloods and of all vampires for that matter are known as the first-borns. A handful of them existed back then. The bite of a firstborn can turn a human into a vampire and after providing their blood; the vampire becomes a stable level C immediately without the risk of falling ever. That is how they formed their army. The descendant of a firstborn and level C resulted in the noble class of level B. Needless to mention that they have an immense amount of powers that allows them to control various species. The major difference between a firstborn and a pureblood that answers your doubts is that, if a human ingest the blood of a firstborn, there is a chance for them to acquire the powers to fight vampires, thus becoming a hunter if they did not perish. However, if a human were to ingest the blood of a pureblood… Well you know what happens. Also, killing a firstborn is more difficult than killing a pureblood because certain conditions have to be met for their attacker to be able to take them down for good." Kaname finished his explanation and waited for a wide-eyed Ichiru to compose himself and state his next inquiry.
Ichiru gulped before talking "It is good to know that pureblood cannot turn humans into hunters for now. At least the risk of more rogue vampire hunter disturbing the peace will not arise. The minority rebelling seems to be manageable. Unless a firstborn appears and decide to play around turning humans and wreaking havoc, which should be impossible right?" Ichiru asked giving Kaname an uncertain look. The silverette could not read the blank expression on the pureblood's face and the brunet silence unsettled him.
"Kuran, there is no more firstborns alive and moving around in this Era is there?" Ichiru's brain was working at lightning speed picturing horrid scenarios of a firstborn rising for supremacy. He shuddered at the thought.
"Rest assured, Ichiru-kun. None of the purebloods active is a firstborn. I can confirm that as the oldest alive." Ichiru sighed in relieve but tensed at the next words "However, it does not mean they all perished already…. Ten thousand years ago, few problematic firstborns rose for supremacy aiming to make humans their slaves and rule the world. Other pacific firstborns did not agree with it and sided with the humans, the first parent is the prime example of them. It took around three thousand years of discontinued battles to eliminate the problematic firstborns. Some of the pacifists perished during battles, others could not handle the repetitive bloodbaths and decided to go into slumber escaping everything… Sadly, after everything settled in place, the hunters and purebloods associated once again to eliminate the slumbering firstborns as well. Even those who helped saving them previously because they were scared they might awaken and become power hungry like their vicious kin… to make a long story short, the historical records state that all firstborns have been eradicated. However, we can never be sure that the ancestors did not miss one slumbering away all this time" Kaname finished with a crooked smile, teasing the panicking silverette.
"You're having the fun of your life scaring the hell out of me Kuran, aren't you?" Ichiru let out an exasperated sigh at the sight of the pureblood mischievous expression "All we can do right now is to trust the records. Wait, does that mean the new pureblood kids are similar to the firstborns in term of powers? If that is the case, how can one put a stop to them if they are tougher than purebloods. How did the old firstborns perish anyways?" Ichiru blanched at his own realization.
"I cannot explain it well, but the information I have from long ago tells me they are not. I do not have a proof yet, and my memory is unclear. However, I am sure they are not the same, just regular purebloods. As for ways to defeat a firstborn, a fellow firstborn can kill another by taking his heart out or cutting off his head, which is the same for pureblood. However, if hunters wish to take one down, they have the only option to rely on one weapon that should be wielded by a descendant of an old bloodline that possessed powers that can subdue the strongest vampires ages ago. Unfortunately, I cannot trace the lineage of said ancestor to tell you who would be able to defeat a firstborn nowadays. I have been slumbering for a long time and the family trees of hunters are more complex than the lineage of vampires. " Kaname added
Ichiru had a gut feeling that Kaname was not telling him everything but decided not to probe further. He will have to work around the new information provided and dig for clues that might help them in the future. He stood from his seat while speaking "Well, thank you for answering some of my doubts and questions in addition to providing me with valuable new knowledge. I will make sure to use it wisely" Ichiru winked at Kaname.
"You're welcome. Both hunters and vampires always appreciate your help. We need as many clues as possible before setting the plan into motion. Yagari-san and Shouto are stalling any major action which is leaving everyone on edge."
"As I said, the one behind the stalling, Cross, is too patient and laid back. Nonetheless, I support him in bidding his time. The enemy is still unknown and his key players are not ready for action yet." Ichiru replied as he opened the door for Kaname to leave and followed behind him toward the counter where Ryou and Aido seems to be teasing a blushing Gin.
Ichiru immediately flipped to his frivolous and flirty attitude and went to join them. He halted as soon as he heard what Ryou shouted out to him "Hey owner! It seems that Zero-chan acquired another hardcore fan" the bartender was grinning while Gin hid his face with both hands. Violet eyes met the electric blue ones of his boyfriend who gave him a shrug and looked away sipping his drink, visibly annoyed.
"Stop twisting my words, Ryou-san! I am not a fan or an admirer. Do not make me sound like a creepy stalker. It is embarrassing… Now that the cat is out of the bag, Ichiru-kun" Gin pulled his hand away from his face and looked at a surprised silverette with determined gaze "I like your brother and I am planning on asking him to go out with me, soon… I mean when I gather enough courage…. Uhm… What I want to say is… I hope you do not object and that you could help me gain his affection one way or the other… he quite thick-skinned and I am at my end's rope. Please help me guys!" Gin whined by the end of his talk.
Ichiru gave him a pitying look and was about to say something but stopped when he met his lover's eyes again. He cleared his throat and looked into desperate gray eyes while he leaned on the counter beside the blue haired man "Zero is one heck of a tough cookie, Gin" Ichiru smirked at the defeated look Gin gave him "But, who knows? Your persistence might pay off, unlike others. However, I cannot help you... I have absolutely no objection whatsoever of you eventually dating my brother if he accepts, I think you are great guy, but Zero hates it when any of us interferes in his private life. Therefore, we would not be able to be of much help in getting you two closer. Sorry!" Ichiru gave the teacher a sad smile as he patted his shoulder, unaware of what is happening to the brunet behind him, who was listening to every word exchanged and observing every expression and action with a clenched jaw in effort to keep his irritation from showing on his face.
Kaname cleared his throat before speaking in a fake amused voice "I see that you have a lot on your plate tonight! Aido, I need to settle some important paperwork that Ichijou needs to send soon. Therefore, I will be taking my leave now; you can take your time and bring the car later tonight or tomorrow since I will not need it anytime soon. Have a great time everyone!"
"I can drive you back Kaname-sama, we are all going back to the academy in a couple of hours. You can relax in one of the VIP room meanwhile if you wish." Aido suggested, trying his best not to sound rude by making his leader wait until Ichiru closes the bar so that he takes his lover back with him.
"I don't need a ride Aido, you know that perfectly well. Besides, I would be done with my business before you even set foot out of this place. Good night" Kaname explained before heading to the gents.
Aido sighed and looked back to find a confused Gin looking back at him questionably. The blond vampire grinned and explained, "He went there to be away from witness's eyes. He will teleport, or maybe he already did and is currently sitting on his desk going through those papers he was talking about." Gin made an 'Oh' motion with his mouth and nodded in understanding before he got back to his whining and talk about his crush on Zero.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In the night district few miles away from K-bar xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside the bustling environment of a famous gay nightclub, at the corner of the backroom lit with fluorescent red light, two guys were engaging in what seemed like intense sex. Zero was pushed up against the wall with his pants and boxers bunched at the ankle of his left leg which was lifted up allowing the man fucking him to thrust as hard as he can while the silverette clawed at his back urging him on "Harder..haah!... FASTER damnit! Uff"
His partner was already sweating and out of breath, sucking on whatever naked skin he could find and pounding harder "God! You are sooo tight, baby…Ah… I can't last much longer!"… with that last statement, the guy ejaculated inside his condom barely 3 minutes after putting it on… he looked up at Zero and gave a sheepish smile "Sorry! Give me a minute and I will bounce right up sweetie".
Zero rolled his eyes as the other kissed his cheek. "pull out" he whispered
"What?" huffed the spent man.
"I said pull your dick out of me if you don't want me to snap it in two! Now!" Zero glared before pushing softly to get his point across.
The man complied but still insisted on being able to go for another round soon. The hunter ignored him completely as he put his clothes on, wincing when he tucked his softening length in. He cursed under his breath as he left the backroom to leave the club. How desperate can one be to end up with a premature ejaculating piece of junk, luck is seriously not on my side tonight. His body and looks were totally my type though.
On his way out of the club, he felt his arm pulled and someone shouting "silver", apparently trying to get his attention.
"What?" the grumpy hunter snapped as he looked back to the man in question, quickly assessing him, not my type at all, and then glared right into his eyes again.
"I see you did not take long inside!" the skinny bean sprout said, the comparison being the first thing that popped into Zero's head when he checked him out.
"…"
"Going home already?" added the stranger
"And how is it any of your business?" barked Zero over the loud music
"I could make it my business if you let me accompany you," the man announced with a smug look on his face
"Not interested!" Zero pulled his arm away with ease and left the club going towards his black Jeep. His eyes rolled back in annoyance as he heard hurried footsteps following him into the empty parking.
"Wait!... Wait! I promise you won't regret it" The guy talked as he picked up the pace to reach the silverette
"Yeah! Yeah! That is what everybody says; just like that guy suffering from E.D I left in the backrooms… cut me some slack would you?" Zero snorted as he pushed a button to unlock his car which headlight flashed twice. The stranger started running towards him at this point. He reached in time when Zero was about to open the door.
"I that's what you're concerned about, I can last about thirty minutes, minimum," emphasized the guy while huffing repeatedly as he smacked his hand on the door beside the hunter to prevent him from getting in the car. He smiled when he got the attention of the slightly shorter man. Even though Zero did nothing but glare at him while internally planning his demise.
"Back off!" Zero snapped at him and glanced at the hand blocking his way from getting inside his vehicle.
"I am okay with car sex if you don't like the hassle of bringing me home," The skinny stranger whispered seductively in the silverette's ear as he pushed himself away from the car and stood behind him, too close Zero's comfort who jumped at the next action. At this point the man was kneading zero's manhood over his jeans while rubbing his butt with his own hard on to give him a feel of it, which successfully picked the silverette interest. Get a blindfold and use him as dildo, no need to look at him… Might as well tie him to the bed! That could work!
"Get in the car, fast!" He ordered
The guy beamed and got it the passenger seat. He watched as zero was about to fasten his seat belt but prevented him from doing so when he caught a glimpse of the bulging tent.
He took the liberty to unzip the jeans and bend down, "It will be uncomfortable for you to drive in this state",
Zero gave him a sideway smirk "I can accept your offer but don't expect me to reciprocate" that was the last comment before the hunter leaned his head back on the headrest and enjoyed the blowjob offered… Shortly after the guy swallowed and wiped his mouth, Zero started his car and drove out of the parking.
The companion was mesmerized with the flushed look of the hunter and his lust filled piercing eyes "I did not expect in my wildest dream I would get this lucky tonight"
"Hmm….?" Zero hummed, still focused on the road
"I mean I have been cruising you for some time now and started to think it is hopeless and I might not be your type after all, guess I was wrong!" the stranger chirped happily
"No you're not!" Zero deadpanned without looking to his side
"What?" his companion asked, still smiling
"You're absolutely not my type at all" Zero clarified in a clear intonation for the human to hear him properly, making the smile to falter from his face.
"Wha… then? "Said human stuttered only for his protest to be cut off by Zero's next statement
"Why did I take you with me? You can say that you popped at a bad time where I do not care who it is, your dick happen to do the trick. I guess beggars can't be chooser at times."
The guy's mouth gaped few times in shock and He tried to retaliate but failed again as his head smacked against the front glass when Zero suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road. The hunter turned to face his passenger with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "and if you're going to preach about me hurting your feeling and being a bitch. Then, you can get off now, so that I can head to the next bar and get a mute good fuck who might be my type, what do you say?"
The addressed person sank into his seat trying to get over the insult and not being able to retort when faced with the dominant attitude of the popular silverette he pursued for so long. Fuck it! Whatever, I get to fuck the silver butterfly… something to brag about later, they do not need to know this detail anyways. I win the bet, the guy smirked internally.
Taking the silence as an agreement to his terms, Zero drove off again towards his condo. The truth is that the hunter had no plan to look anymore for he was starting to feel sick of it and he was about to go home for an ice cold shower instead to appease his heated body.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In front of Zero's apartment xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Make yourself comfortable while I take a shower. I need to get the stinky scent of that bastard off me," Stated the hunter as he flung his door open for his guest of the night to go in.
"It does not bother me if that is what you are worried about" reassured the man, thinking that his date was finally being considerate only to be shot down once again.
"It bothers me!" said zero with finality giving him the look of 'who gives a shit about what bothers you'
Upon entering, the hunter froze when he saw Kaname siting on his couch. "Quite the urgent work you have here Zero. So important it made you bail on your friends" the pureblood talked in a sarcastic tone. Zero snapped and his eyes darkened in anger "You're acting like a creepy stalker Kuran"
"I heard nothing about you having a man already!" protested the stranger
Zero looked at him in disbelief then pressed his lips together, took a deep intake of breath through his nose in an effort not to snap the guy's neck
"Does it look like he is welcome here?... No…No… don't answer that!... Just do me a favor and shut the fuck up until I tell you otherwise" the chilling tone and deadly glare successfully clamed up the chatterbox of a guest.
Kaname eyed the exchange with amusement before voicing his suggestion "If you are that displeased with him, why not send him away! I am sure I would do a better job than him in 'assisting' you."
"Excuse me!" the man yelled in a threatening tone and started to walk toward Kaname but Zero stretched an arm to block his way before talking in a clearly irritated tone.
"Both of you stop it! Now! Kuran you are to get out of my place; and you, whatever your name is, you had better not pick a fight with him if you want to live and see another peaceful day… With that said, I will now go take a shower and I better find only one man waiting for me and who is not you, Kuran! Did I make myself clear?" Zero snarled pointing and glaring into the brown-haired pureblood's eyes.
The silverette made his way to his bedroom, dropping few articles of clothing along the way before jumping into the shower and hissed as soon as the ice-cold water hit his heated skin. He felt disgusted with himself every time this happened to him. It was as if his body had a mind of its own at times. Even though he intended to have a good time with his brother and co. This shitty horniness had to kick in. Zero whimpered softly as his erection refused to subside and only got worse, he started pumping and fisting himself seeking release… fuck! Why does it always happen when you least expect it!...
His self-proclaimed physician and pseudo-therapist, namely Hanabusa Aido, tried to interpret what he called the sudden bout of heightened sexual desire and lust that washes over the hunter at some rare occasion by the fluctuating hormones at a faster rate than normal due to specific external stimuli. The detailed scientific explanation gave the hunter a major headache, which made him remember only the most important parts; it started when he tried to abstain for too long, leading to his body becoming uncontrollably horny to the point of pain. Then, it became like a cycle where he occasionally would have the urge to fuck everything that moves. Luckily, he managed to keep it under control lately thanks to his 'active' lifestyle. However, He knew that the cause of his current predicament is none others that the smoking hot man sitting in his living room. Zero pants got harder as he remembered how sexy Kaname looked in his dark red formal shirt contrasting with his crisp black pants. The silverette gasped as he neared his release, Fuck! Come on already! Don't use that shithead as your jerk off material Stupid! The fucked up stimuli was the wet dreams that he starred in in the first place! He better be out by the time I am done here!... "Ah..haah!" Zero moaned as softly as possible while cumming all over the glass wall of his shower stall. He stood there for a moment until he cooled down, finished showering properly and prepping himself. He felt confident that he would not end up finishing faster that the guy he left at the club at least, that would be plain embarrassing.
Meanwhile in the living room, the pureblood was sitting comfortably on the one seater while the other guest stood by the dining table, arms crossed and checking out his so-called rival. The human was losing his confidence as the seconds ticked by. The room was dimly lit when they first entered the apartment so he did not have clear view. However, now that Zero switched the strong neon lights across the house on, the man was greatly intimidated by Kaname's looks, charm and attitude. The only thing that still kept him around is the fact that Zero kicked the brunet out not him, to which the pureblood did not comply yet.
"I thought to he told you to be out by the time he finishes his shower?" Kaname cringed at the nasal voice of the other person in the room but ignored him.
"Look! I know the rumors about him not minding threesomes and his entire mind blowing antics, but I am not interested in partaking in any of it… If you insist on having a go with him, you can do so after I am done with him." The guy explained while he came closer and leaned on the back of the couch facing Kaname's seat. The pureblood did not utter a word and contented himself with a sideway smirk, apparently amused by what the guy said. A reaction that puzzled the stranger to no end.
Barely a minute later, had a naked silverette with only a towel across his hips emerged into the living room with a scowl that lost its edge because of his flushed cheeks and dripping wet hair. "What is the meaning of this?"
Both men took a while to speak as they were willing their throbbing manhood to calm down at the sexy sight. The skinny guy was the first to speak "Your friend here seems adamant to leave"
"That is not a friend of mine!" Zero explained calmly. Trying not to scream bloody murder.
"You hurt me!" Kaname spoke in a childish tone "Well… I was just waiting for you to come out because I forgot to tell you something."
"What might that be?" asked Zero, resting both hands on his hips
"That since I went against my words and came here, troubling you. I decided to make up for it by never going near you ever again and forgetting whatever happened between us, if that is what you want. Although I am certain that I can satisfy you, more than any other man could… ever… It is your loss to pass up on this chance" Kaname shrugged with a teasing smile on his face as he stood and headed for the door.
Zero snorted and shook his head when faced with the pureblood back, what a prick, only to straighten up and put back his trademark deadly glare when Kaname paused and turned to face him again with a finger gesture that said 'there is one more thing I have to say'. The vampire got closer to the human present in the room and tapped his shoulder looking at Zero "Make sure to take care of this generous man here. Unlike you, he actually took pity on me and said that I could wait for him to finish, then I can have my turn with you. He would have gone with a threesome if he were not such a prude… Oh! That was something new I learned from this person; about you not minding multiple partners at once"
Kaname gave a light squeeze to the flustered human's shoulder and plastered a victorious smirk because the deadly glare of a certain hunter shifted towards to poor excuse of a man.
Zero hugged his naked torso and narrowed his eyes "Care to explain?"
"No…its… its not like that" stuttered the skinny man, feeling himself shrink under the pressure of the amethyst gaze "It is the rumors, rumors from previous partners… you know bar talk"
"That I am a fucking courtesan with a waiting room for guys to wait for their turn to screw me?" deadpanned the hunter before rolling his eyes in annoyance and stride toward who should have been his partner for the night. He grabbed his arm, pulled him and kicked him out of the apartment, "At your age, you should be aware not to spout rubbish around, even if it was true. That applies to the lie you will make up just to win that stupid bet you made with your pals. You really should know your limits and not target those out of your league buddy! And maybe hit the gym once in a while!" He slammed the door right in the nose of the dumbstruck man, who stood there wandering how the ex-human managed to hear him talking about the bet while he remembers correctly that Zero left the club at that time and the music was really loud when he quickly challenged his gang just before running after the silverette.
Back in the apartment, Zero rested his forehead on the door, peeved. He hated it when others make decisions for him based on the assumptions originating from baseless rumors, or maybe not so baseless, but rumors nonetheless. The hunter startled when caught off guard by a pair of hands that caressed his sides and hugged his torso, followed by soft lips placing butterfly kisses on the junction of his neck. He felt his body instantly reacting when he unwillingly inhaled the unique scent of the man he forgot was still in his apartment,
"You made the right choice for once, Zero". The husky aroused rich voice sent shivers so strong, the hunter had to muffle a whimper as he trembled in the warm embrace. Not good!
The moment he pulled on the arms wrapping him, Zero gasped when the hand he tried to wrench slid dangerously close to his hardening manhood. "Kuran! Stop it!" Zero whispered
"Why? Did you not make him leave because you wanted me to do this?" the pureblood purred as he nipped the silver earing.
"Why are you so persistent?"
"hmm?…"
"What should I do or say to make you understand that I want you out of my life, bastard" Zero snapped trying to wiggle his way out of the deadlock Kaname got him caged in.
"I wonder about that? Seems impossible to me!" Kaname teased
"Aren't you-"Zero started
"This is going to be you last question," the older vampire pointed as he discarded the towel and grinded against the hunter's bareback, successfully earning a sweet whimper from the man. Kaname paused his movement at the next question, which he did not expect in this situation.
"Aren't you sleeping with Yuki already?" Zero asked, mortified that he is reacting more and more and actually starting to want Kaname to take him right this instant. Damn this pureblood's pheromones.
Kaname slackened his grip and straightened up, nuzzling the silver soft hair while answering "No… No I am not currently doing that… As a matter of fact, I did not sleep with her once since I awakened again."
"heeh? So like you to take care not to burden your precious girl." Zero mocked him with obvious sarcasm, hinting to Yuki's pregnant state. Before he could add anything more, Kaname turned him around to face him and place a finger on his lips shushing him, "I said that was the last question you were allowed, didn't I?" He said that while leaning in to capture the hunter's lips, only to be greeted by his cheek because Zero looked away. Kaname started kissing his jaw trailing toward the place he craved, but he got brushed off again when he reached the corner as Zero pushed his chin away enough to look the other way before Kaname manage to grasp the hand blocking his way.
The pureblood did not give up on his assault as he cupped the hidden side of Zero's face and pulled gently to get the silverette to face him to no avail. Zero was resisting with all his might even though he was obviously aroused and rearing to go.
Kaname retracted his hand from Zero's face but rested both him palms on the doorframe to prevent any attempt to escape, "What is it?"
"No need for foreplay… get done with your shit and leave… that is how you want it right…" Zero screwed his eyes shut, a frown visible and fists clenched on his sides.
Kaname let out a loud exasperated breath, I overdone it seems! Self-reprimanded the pureblood internally
He decide to take a different approach as he shifted to hug Zero tightly. He started kissing his temples, closed eyes, Nose Bridge before sucking on tightly shut lips. He close in to a pierced ear while massaging the silver scalp.
"I… I am sorry Zero… I apologize for hurting you and acting like a jerk before" He spoke softly and soothingly contradicting his arrogant attitude from a while ago
"Just that? You treated me like a fucking slut Kuran!" Zero hissed, still not bothering to look at the brown-haired man, disgust apparent in his posture and expression.
Kaname immediately interjected before Zero blasted on him "No… I… maybe I did out of spite… but you have to know one thing…. I did not mean it, I swear... "
"…", zero remained silent with eyes screwed shut and gritting his teeth. As if, your word means anything to me!
"Zero… Look at me!" Kaname pleaded softly
"…" ignored!
"Zero! I refuse to have it this way…" He resorted to a softly commanding voice this time, which finally earned him a reaction from the irked hunter.
"Then leave and never come back …" Sarcasm and irritation obvious in Zero's tone.
"I can't do that either" Kaname deadpanned
"FUCKING MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALREADY BASTARD!" Zero screamed as his eyes shot open to glare at Kaname only for him to be taken aback when facing an expression filled with regret.
"Listen…" Kaname finally let go of the narrow waist and cupped the silverette's face "Believe it or not, I was thinking of not pursuing you it you rejected me when you came back after that first time…. However, when I came and saw you flustered, avoiding my gaze… I was tempted to tease you a bit before leaving you alone, but…" Kaname let out a soft breath that made some silver strands sway. "As soon as I tasted your lips again…" he placed feather touches on Zero's lips with his fingertip and swallowed, "it all came back to me… Zero, I did not touch anyone since Yuki, I even started to think I had no desire anymore… but meeting you again… the incident… and then that night…. How do I explain it? You awakened something in me that I kept buried for so long… and I loved it…. No not just that… I drowned in it… in your alluring beauty…. In your seductive body and I could not let go no matter how many time I took you that night…" his hand trembled as he caressed a soft cheek and looked from confused violet orb to slightly parted pink lips "I have to tell you that I held back big time there " chuckled dryly .
He pressed his finger on Zero's lips again and rested their forehead together "What I am saying is that you got me hooked, Zero… That one amazing night left me starving for you… I have been starving this whole time… I know I said that I would wait for you to come seek me…hahaha" he licked lips, "that was my arrogant ego talking I guess? Can you forgive me? All the hurtful words I said that day in the office were fruit of irritation… I was on the edge from your constantly pushing me away… I thought I was going mad… and I lost it the moment you said you hated me… I… I… just snapped… I am not telling you to love me… No, do not worry! it is okay to hate me, you have every right to do so…. However, I would like to ask you for a favor that is to keep that hatred toward the me outside these walls, the one you know as the arrogant pureblood king I am posing as…. I am ready to beg so that you do not refuse the person in front of you now… please… Right now I am just a man who have fallen under the spell of the uninhibited zero… a man who wants you with every fiber of his being… let me embrace you… let me inside you… and let me give you what you want… I will not be selfish like last time… going at it like a bull…" Kaname chuckled and inhaled before going on, with a speechless hunter looking at him quizzically "though I can't guarantee the aftermath would be any different… but I promise… I promise you Zero… it will be all about you… you decide what we do and I do it… I do not want to hurt you anymore… I want us to enjoy it together from now on…." The tall brunet pulled away, releasing the hunter completely and stood few inches away from him, indicating that he was done with his talk. Leaving a naked Zero staring at him with a confused frown on his face.
Zero tries to talk but find no words. He cast his eyes down, lost… Kaname noticed that, so he moved closer again reaching a hand to the face looking down. He caressed Zero's cheek and slid the same hand along his arm until he reached a tightly clenched fist, which he held with both hand. The pureblood gently unclenched it, internally cringed as he felt the bumps of nails rigged skin, brought it up to his face and kissed the palm tenderly "Here is what we will do… I will hold this hand and guide you to the bedroom… until we reach the bed, if you do not want any of this, you just let go of my hand. I will then disappear instantly, and I will never come near you again… come on" Kaname tugged on the dumbstruck hunter, dragging him gently along the corridor toward the bedroom…
Zero was faltering behind… staring at the hand holding his and at the back of the man guiding him… he is dangerous… Kuran Kaname is a dangerous man… Zero knows it the most… he is dangerous outside and even more dangerous in bed…. He knows… the euphoria of his embrace is pure poison… no it is a drug… a potent addictive drug… Kuran Kaname is a drug one needs to be careful not to overfeed on… Zero knows it… but every cell of his body screamed for him… he wanted Kaname as much as Kaname wanted him… So…
Who is he to refuse the man currently gently pushing him to lay on the bed?…
Who is he to refuse the charming devil with an angel's smile hovering over him? Bringing his face closer…
See? He is even asking for permission to kiss…
Zero finally brings his hands to hold the sculpted porcelain cheeks and raise his head enough for his lips to brush against Kaname's… he gave his consent… willingly or under influence does not matter anymore… he needs to have him now…
I hope you enjoyed it!
Reviews Please!
One last note:
I will be introducing the interaction between different pairing of this fiction in the upcoming couple of chapters because they deserve some screen time as well, So I was wondering if you would like me to include their background stories in this one as well, or make a spin off that you can read separately. For starter, I am talking about how Ichiru and Hanabusa became a couple until the next pairing is revealed (which will be an unexpected one as well it seems :p ). Review and tell me what you would like. Thank you
