"Why must everyone order me around? Tell me what I should do and what I should not. I have enough already. Why should I live to anyone's expectation?" Zero was mumbling to himself, oblivious to anything in the world.
"Zero…" Kaname whispered gently, trying to get his attention. When he remained still, eyes unfocused, the brunet tentatively extended a hand to hold the hunter's dangling arm. Something akin to an electric shock run through Zero's body when Kaname grabbed him.
"Zero! Look at me" He insisted, keeping his voice gentle. Unfortunately, his efforts backfired when Zero brushed his hand away and tried to put some distance between them. Kaname was about to move forward when Zero's eyes focused on him "Don't touch me! Don't come near me!".
Kaname stilled, surprised by the venom that dripped from the scratchy voice and the hate he saw in amethyst eyes. His brows knitted in a pained expression as he saw the hunter actually crawl on all four to the nearby desk and use it as a support of get up on his wobbly feet. Zero took few deep breaths and drank some water from the plastic bottle he picked from the floor.
"Feeling better?" Kaname was now standing close to the hunter without invading his comfort zone.
"Like you care about how I feel? Get out of here, your face is the last thing I want to see right now." Zero talked without looking at Kaname, rubbing his dry throat as if it would restore his damaged vocal chords.
"I won't leave you alone like this…" Kaname stated firmly
"I SAID! LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! WHAT KIND OF STUPID SHIT ARE YOU NOT TO GET IT?" The hunter finally screamed his lungs out, wincing at his own voice but not failing to throw a deadly glare in the direction of the pureblood.
Just when Kaname was about to talk, a knock at the door interrupted them and the knob started to turn, alarming the ancient vampire.
"Zero? Are you alright? I heard you screaming" Gin's voice preceded him as he spoke while opening the door.
"I am fine, don't bother coming in, I want to be alone right now." The hunter spoke fast to halt the steps of the blue haired human who was about to pass the doorframe into the room. He glanced at the pureblood who was conveniently hiding behind the opened door. Seems like he has no plan of leaving! The hunter groaned inwardly.
"What in the world happened here" Gin's alarmed voice snapped Zero back to his guest. He followed the gaze of the silver eyes, which roamed the room. "Looks as if storm passed by".
"Nothing for you to worry about!" Zero deadpanned
"You are kidding right?" he answered as he extended a hand to turn on the lights, while respecting Zero's wish that is not to enter the room. The evening sky dimmed the room for the human eyes. Gin's eyes widened in shock as he took in Zero's expression and the streak of obvious fresh tears.
"What do you want Gin?"
"I… I… was with Kaito downstairs… and he seemed in a bad mood…"
Zero was silent for a moment before letting out an incredulous laugh that bordered hysteria "So, he complained and you are here to give me another lecture?"
"No that is not- "
"Then WHAT? WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT GIN?" the last string of sanity finally snapped, "You found you dear friend upset and he told you I was the reason and you came to blame me for it. Nothing new, everyone seem to blame me for something these days. It seems like it is my fault that soo many bad stuff happens. FINE! GO AHEAD! BLAME ME! LECTURE ME! CURSE AT ME! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ANYMORE! It is my fault that Kaito is upset, it is my fault that accidents happens, it is my fault that the earth is round, it is my fault that the fucking moon revolves around the earth and not the other way around, IT IS MY FUCKING FAULT THAT FIRE IS NOT COLD AND ICE IS NOT HOT! HAPPY NOW! I FINALLY LEARNED MY LESSON! EVERYONE SHOULD JUST FORGET ABOUT ME AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE. I AM SURE YOUR LIFES WOULD BE MUCH BETTER WITHOUT A PLAGUE LIKE ME AROUND! SO BE IT!" Zero stopped his pacing and faced Gin again, with a look daring him to speak his mind as if he already knew what the human was about to say, expecting him retort and fight back, which Gin never did.
The taller man was observing Zero's movement, expression and unstable state. For once, Gin was grateful for being levelheaded and slow to react when provoked. He leaned back and checked his left and right side for anyone in the corridor, then looked back at Zero with a faint sad smile. He leaned on the doorframe and spoke as gently as possible "Sorry Zero, I did not mean to upset you… Truth is, I came in just when you were screaming at Takamiya-kun and running up the stairs. It seems that you did not notice me. When I tried to ask him what happened, he brushed it off as nothing but the usual bickering… I tried coming up to check on you but he told me not to… I guess he was right when he said that you needed to be left alone… I just came rushing when I heard crushing sound and then you screaming bloody murder… I was just worried about you." He paused, waiting for Zero to respond, but the hunter just averted his gaze. He rubbed his own neck at the awkward silence before breaking it again, "Listen, I will go now, but if you need someone to talk to. Just call and I will be next to you in a second. Okay?"
Gin closed the door gently and went on his way. Midway through the corridor, he heard the click of a door opening and hurried footsteps behind him. Turning around, he found Zero standing meekly, glancing sideways. He did not talk and gave the silverette the time he needed.
"I was in the wrong back there… I should not have lashed out on you without hearing you out. Sorry!" Zero talked softly, his nervousness showing by the way his hands were clenching and unclenching on his sides.
The taller man smiled, "No… you don't have to worry about me, I am fine with being your punching bag if it helped calming you down…," he teased, earning a scowl from the hunter who finally looked his way. "That is not funny!" Zero reprimanded, not liking the fact that he took out his anger on the man and worse, having Gin actually accept it without a fuss.
As if reading his mind, Gin replied accordingly, "Okay! You were wrong for lashing out at me and I accept your apology."
Zero gave him a relieved look as if a burden lifted from his shoulders. With the intention of comforting him, Gin took a step closer and reached out a hand to ruffle the messy silver hair. Little did he expect Zero to flinch from his touch, moreover, he took a defensive stance by wrapping one arm around his own chest and clutched his other arm painfully. Seeing this display made the human opt out from the cuddling and leave the silverette alone. "Well then, I have to go prepare my lessons for next week… See you tomorrow. Good night!" he turned around after earning a nod from Zero who was once again averting his gaze.
The hunter cursed inwardly at how agitated and high-strung he was feeling. Tried as he may, he could never contain the outburst of his temper unless he lashes out on someone or do something stupid he would regret later. This time, he broke the record by doing both, and he is certainly reaping the consequence immediately.
He got back to his room and closed the door behind. He took a deep breath when he felt the shifting behind him signaling that the pureblood was still lurking around. "I told you to leave didn't I?"
"I won't"
"Just say your piece of mind and get out… I had enough shit today to last me a lifetime…"
"That is why I am here actually." Kaname closed in behind Zero
"Then, by all means, start your ranting…" Zero turned to face him and threw his arms sideways, as if welcoming what is coming his way.
"No… What I meant is that I came here to listen to your 'ranting'" Kaname surprised him by pulling at his arms and cage him in an awkward hug.
Zero let out a pained whine and struggled for him to let go, which Kaname did but kept holding his forearm. "Ugh! Kaname… Don't…"
Red-brown eyes narrowed at the face the hunter was showing, twisted in pain. I am sure my grip is not that painful!
"Zero? Are you hurt somewhere?" Kaname used his other hand to cradle the hunter's cheek, rubbing soothing circle that backfired when the hunter flinched from it and gasped in pain.
"Ugh! Stop… haa… please" he whined, violet eyes screwed shut.
This time, Kaname grabbed his shoulders and shook him "Zero! Zero! Look at me, open your eyes! Talk to me! Tell me what is wrong damnit…" Kaname was second away from shouting out to whomever is in the house for help if they had any idea how to stop the silverette's agony when the hunter finally spoke.
"My skin is on fire, Kaname! Don't touch me please!" Zero finally explained in-between gritted teeth. As soon as he let go, Kaname noticed the pain in Zero's expression fading as he took few deep breath.
"What the heck was that?" the pureblood asked, utterly confused.
"Nothing."
"Zero, saying that won't make me stop questioning you."
"It is just a reaction"
"I don't remember vampires suffering allergy to anything apart from blood pill." Kaname snorted.
"I am not your regular vampire, you should know that." Zero tried to brush it off by acting smug
"You are fooling no one." Kaname deadpanned.
The hunter sighed when no more escape route remained. "It is a reaction, okay? Something like a nervous breakdown but not quite it."
Seeing that Kaname still waited for more explanation, he elaborated. "It is a rare condition that happens to me when I am under an amount of stress that is more than I can handle. It can be physical stress, mental stress or emotional stress. It is not this bad usually. According to the type of stimuli, sometime it translates in something like getting in heat. Scratch that, most of the time it translate in me turning into a hornball. However, there were occurrence where it gets too much to the point of pain."
"Okay… Since when did you get like this…?"
"Few years…"
"No! I meant this time, since when did it start?"
"Oh! I don't know… But it started to bug me when I got back from the airport. I started getting restless and my blood felt like lava in my veins… that sort of feeling… Look! I need you to leave me alone so that I deal with it and feel better soon. So, I am kindly asking you to leave now." Zero explained in a calmer voice, trying to get Kaname off his back.
"How do you deal with it?"
"I have my own ways, and I pretty much prefer not having an audience."
"Okay! But I will come back later when you have calmed down. We need to talk." Kaname insisted, making Zero roll his eyes in annoyance before reluctantly agreeing.
Kaname jumped out of the window and went on his way back to his chamber. Half way through, he made a U-turn and jumped back into Zero's room because of a gnawing feeling that something very wrong was happening with the hunter, and his intuition was right on spot. Kaname practically pounced on Zero who was sitting on his desk, a towel folded under his forearm and blood trickling as he cut himself with a razor blade. The hunter gave a loud yelp when his hand holding the blade was yanked away and he glared at Kaname.
"What is wrong with you?" he screamed
"What is wrong with me? Zero, I am the one who should be asking that question to you. You are cutting yourself. Is this your plan?"
"Well… yes! That is the only way I could calm down… inflicting worse pain drive the burning of my nerves away and the blood loss numbs me. Do you have any better idea?" Zero barked at him.
Kaname noticed the necklace he was wearing "How many times do you do this… Do you cut yourself only when you get into this… heat?" he asked, already dreading the answer.
"Yeah…" Kaname's blood ran cold when he heard the spike in Zero's heartbeat. He concentrated hard enough to know if the hunter was lying or not because Zero mastered a perfect poker face over the years. He is lying! God! And the necklace would camouflage the scent of his blood. The pureblood felt horrified just imagining this gory scene happening each time the hunter was stressed out… he really learned the worst ways to cope with his anxiety.
Noticing that Zero was no longer in pain from his touch, although hating the reason for it, Kaname pulled him in a tight hug. Zero's eyes widened and his grip over the blade slackened, making the sound of its contact with the floor echoes.
"Sorry, I said too much earlier at my place. I should not have talked or acted that way…" Kaname knew he would regret apologizing this quickly, but he felt like that needed to do so in order to get Zero to open up.
Zero kept his hands to himself but did not free himself, too tired to fight back. "Stop telling me what I want to hear Kaname. I am not that pitiful"
"No, I am not saying it for you. It is the truth; I have no right to judge you." Kaname insisted
"Well… If it makes you feel better, you were right on money… I am a control freak… So…" Zero chuckled and tried to get out of Kaname's embrace but were denied. Kaname loosened his hold just enough for Zero to face him, but kept his grip firm over the silverette's hips.
Zero sighed "And I also said too much… Making you out to be the bad guy when we both enjoyed what we had. Anyways, there is no use crying over spilled milk."
Kaname smiled when he managed to get the hunter to talk and decided to tease him a bit to test the waters "So you admit that you used me like a…"
Zero arched an eyebrow in response before protesting "Okay! I might have used the fact that you were compromising to my every demand a little too much, but you should have said something, speak up instead of keeping it until you snapped, it is not like I would not have listened and evaluated my actions."
Kaname finally found the lead he was looking for and latched on it "Says the person who keeps bottling up his feelings until it gets painful."
Zero scowled at the remark, feeling cheated and looked away from the pureblood, "Manipulation is a second nature to you isn't it?"
"I am just trying to get you to let it all out, speak your mind and express your worries" Kaname pleaded, tugging at Zero's hips.
"Why should I confide in you?"
"Come on Zero! Quit being so…"
"What? Bitchy, demanding, control freak… do you have any other attribute you failed to imply"
"Zero I am not here to fight…" Kaname warned
"What are you here for then, to fuck?"
Kaname let out an exaggerated breath that tickled the silver bangs "NO! I am just trying to get you to talk, to confide in me with the things you cannot discuss with anyone else."
"And what makes you think I would do that? Geez!"
"BECAUSE… because we are similar in that aspect… Because, for some reason or the other, I can be myself when I am around you, I feel like I don't need to hide behind masks or be careful whatsoever and I would like you to feel the same. Actually, I think you do, otherwise you would not have allowed me into the deepest part of you."
"Oh! Please!" Zero rolled his eyes again and got out of Kaname's embrace. He jumped into his bed under the cover, with his back facing the vampire as if he was going to sleep.
Kaname smirked. He did not miss the slight blush that adorned the pale cheeks, nor the surprised look when he hit a nerve. Feeling more daring and playful, the pureblood got out of his shoes and slid under the blanket, spooning Zero from behind. The hunter stiffened "You could never take the hint, huh? Persistent prick"
"I won't go unless you speak…"
"I have nothing to say." Zero mumbled in annoyance, hiding his face into the pillow he is clutching and pinching the arm Kaname draped over his midsection.
"Is the fact that you were worried that I might try to take advantage of Yagari-san by having him indebted to me the only reason you came to my room."
The movement of the grumpy hunter stilled for a second. When no reply came, Kaname pulled Zero closer to his body and kissed the column of his neck, feeling him shiver at the touch.
He inhaled the unique sweet scent of the hunter and started to speak knowing that he could not miss a word because of their proximity, "When you asked me for the reason I did not tell you that I was helping him for my own benefit, I gave you a vague answer. The truth is, I don't like flaunting my good deeds publicly and the secrecy became a habit to me. The reason is because for the king of vampires to be kind, helpful and at the service of everyone can be regarded as a weakness. Moreover, even if we have a certain amount of peace, there is still a risk of a more opposing faction to form if I appear to be siding with the hunter selflessly. What is keeping things together right now is the knowledge that hunters and vampires are using each other for their mutual benefit. As a result, me helping your mentor, as small as I may consider the action to be can cause a ripple of disapproval that might incur worse consequences. Yagari-san is in the same disposition; his image would be affected if word comes out about his life being saved by a vampire." Kaname rested his head just on the pillow, patiently waiting for any response.
Moments later, he felt the hunter shift and twist his upper body to look towards the ceiling, glancing sideways to meet wine orbs. He licked his lips and took a sharp breath, then whispered, "I… I hate death…" Zero closed his eyes as if to will away the pain. Kaname tightened his hold on him in reassurance, urging him to continue. "I never asked for this… I could care less about living a long life… I did not ask to be a vampire… I did not ask to hold the power of the strongest hunter alive… I …" He gulped loudly "it scares me to think that I will outlive all those that I care about"
Kaname kept still as he saw glistening tears falling down slowly from violet eyes, he held the urge to pull the hunter tighter in his embrace when he saw his lips quivering. "There is nine chances out of ten that sensei would not make it back alive, Kaname! What am I going to do when that happens? I am supposed to grieve and move on. Then what? I am not even sure if I can actually do it. The worst is that it would be just the beginning, few decades later, if not less, the same will happen with the others… someday, I will have to say goodbye to Cross… Kaito… Ichiru… *hic* *sniffle*. Why? Because I am a fucking freak. All I ever wanted was to train as a hunter and compensate for Ichiru's inability to do the same by making him proud of his brother. I wanted to carry on the legacy of my parents, marry, build a family and pass on our hunter heritage to my children. That is it. I just wanted what is normal for me, to live my life, as a normal dutiful hunter would have… I did not ask nor did I wish for any of this… I…" Zero turned around and hid his face into the crook of Kaname's neck.
"Make it stop! Kaname! It hurts; please… just… do something… erase me…"
"SHH~ stop being stupid!" Kaname reprimanded him while kissing the top of his head. He maneuvered them so that he would be laying on his side with Zero using his arm as a pillow, coming face to face with the teary hunter.
Glassy amethyst eyes looked at the gently smiling brunet and scowled "Stop looking so smug when I am crying my eyes out… Geez, why do I always end up crying like a chick when you are around" Zero grumbled, wiping his eyes and runny nose then looking away from the amused gaze of the twinkling red-brown eyes.
"Feeling better now?" Kaname asked, already knowing the answer, which came in the form of a blush. He continued speaking as not to make Zero feel awkward. "Dying will only make matter worse, you will cause pain and sorrow to those who care about you and miss the chance of spending more time with them, and having even just one more happy moment to keep for when you need to remember them. You really are a coward, Zero! Seeing how much you look up to Yagari-san, you should take a page from his book of life" Kaname smirked when knitted eyebrow twitched at the insult. "I won't take that back. Because, unlike you, He chose to fight until the end when he saw how much grieve he would cause a certain someone if he gave up that easily. My offer was more tempting after I told him that you actually invited me to dinner so that I don't leave you alone the first time you visited him."
"WHAT? You fucking told him about…" Zero screamed in disbelief.
"That I had dinner and kept you company. It was the first time I saw his eye pop out the size of a saucer. I was curious about his reaction if I told him that I actually had you for dessert that night, but I did not want to deal with a heart attack so I decided not to." Kaname shrugged nonchalantly, amused at the way Zero's mouth flapped multiple times before he grabbed and pulled his own bangs "Agh, the embarrassment! That is why he had that weird look as if I went mental the second time I paid him visit. Fuck you! How am I going to face him when he comes back now that I know that he knows? Ugh!"
Kaname chuckled "Well~ there is one huge fat chance out of ten that he will come back as ruthless as before and maybe more, so you better start thinking of how you are going to explain that little situation…" Kaname teased sarcastically as he hovered above the hunter with a mischievous grin. Zero's eyes widened when he realized what exactly was it that the pureblood was trying to pull. All thoughts of being a burden, of dying, fear, worry and anxiety were completely gone by now, vanished as if they never suffocated him in the first place.
Kaname's breath got caught in his throat when he caught a glimpse of what seemed like a quivering smile on the hunter's lips. He realized that the hunter was no longer frowning. He was looking exasperated, defeated but comfortable, as if he caught a mischief but does not have the heart to correct it. Mission accomplished, I guess!
Kaname barely fought the urge to lean and steal those lips in a searing kiss. He cleared his throat and looked in direction of the window then back at Zero who was still observing him. "I think I should get going now… You need to rest…" Just as the brunet was shifting to get out of the bed, Zero pulled at his shirt, preventing his escape.
"Ah! Uhm… Never mind" the hunter belatedly realized that his body moved in his own accord. He let go of Kaname's arm and laid back on the bed facing the other way while fighting the heat creeping up his face. Why did have to go and do that! He will think I am coming on to him now.
Kaname let out a sigh of defeat, it seemed like he was unable to resist the cuteness that the helpless hunter was displaying, unconsciously. He moved back into the bed, this time covering the side of Zero's body with his own. He cupped a flushed cheek to get the hunter to face him. They bumped their nose together and stared into each other's eyes in silence. Hmm? Maybe if it is just a little… a small naughty voice was whispering inside the hunter's head as he looked into twinkling red-brown eyes.
After a minute of silence, Zero started rubbing Kaname's arm that was on his chest seductively and giving him the look. Kaname gave a breathy chuckle and a look that clearly says 'are you kidding me?'.
He cut him off before Zero could speak "No! I won't do anything because it would be troublesome if my aura seeps out"
"Why would it?" Zero inquired, biting his lower lip, knowing how irresistible the action was for Kaname who immediately growled. Well! At least he is not against doing it.
"I tend to lose control when I am inside of you." The pureblood stated flatly.
Zero turned beet red "Oh! It is going to be a problem, cause I can't seem to settle when you are nearby at all" he stuttered, fidgeting in effort to calm his growing erection.
"Same here" Kaname rubbed his own on Zero's thigh, leading to both of them laughing at how little control they have when the other is concerned.
Seeing that neither of them seemed to be able to settle down, Kaname chose the only way out, "I think I should go"
Kaname started to unhook his arms but zero clutched them and turned his gaze as the blush crept further on his face
Kaname smiled at the implicit message and claimed the tightening lips of the embarrassed hunter, Yuki was right! You do hate being alone at times like this!
Zero startled but relaxed at the feel of the silken lips pressing on his own and moving lazily over his. The kiss was not deep and greedy nor was it superficial, they contented themselves by lazily moving they lips against each other while amethyst eyes gazed into wine orbs before Kaname pulled away and rested his forehead on Zero's with eyes closed. "What was that for?" the dazed hunter spoke first
"hmm?... nothing… just felt like doing it…" Kaname's hand twitched and he lifted his head up as if he was trying to listen to something.
"I think I have no choice but to leave after all, you have visitors…"
Zero frowned then concentrated his senses that allowed him to hear hurried footsteps coming into his direction. "Ugh… it must be Ichiru."
With one last peck on the lips, Kaname left through the window in the form of crows in direction to his dorm quarter.
Zero let out a small smile while touching his lips which creeped Ichiru out when he came into the room
"Nii-san, you have an unusual goofy look, are you high on something…"
"Nah~ just feeling good"
"Good to hear, I was worried since Kaito said you guys had a small fight, shall we- What the fuck happened here?"
Zero rolled his eyes "Were you always this slow to take in your surroundings."
Ichiru's eyes roamed the room, horrified at the mess. His eyes landed at the bloodied towel on the desk as well as the equally bloodied razor blade on the floor. In a swift movement, he locked the door and rushed to his brother's side. "What happened?"
Zero groaned, knowing the lecture he will get and hid under the cover. "Kiryuu Zero! Show me your wrists, NOW!"
"Haaaai!" he trailed as he poked on wrist out of the cover, Ichiru grabbed and checked it then asked for the other, and did the same. He let breathed a sigh of relief "Glad to know you did not use a hunter blade."
"I was not that desperate!" Zero grunted from under the cover.
"What made you so anxious anyways? Was the fight with Kaito that bad?"
"Not really."
"Then what?"
"Nothing, just a lot of small things accumulated together." The older twin finally came out of his hiding. He cringed at the concerned look of Ichiru "They were being nosy, a little too nosy"
"You really need to grow out of this habit, Zero! Learn some tolerance." Ichiru grounded
"I am plenty tolerant, mind you! I just can't help it, when the switch flips, it just does…" Zero snapped at his twin, irritated that he ruined the good mood he had seconds ago.
"I seriously feel like I am talking to a rebellious teenager some time… And? Who was the victim this time around?" Ichiru asked, knowing that somebody must have sustained his brother's wrath, or he would have found him still fuming until now.
Zero winced and gave Ichiru the puppy eyes knowing what is coming "I think I might have… kind of lashed out… a little… just a little…"
"fess up!" Ichiru was losing his patience.
"On Gin…" he finally said it. Crap!
Ichiru froze for a moment then stood to leave like a robot. "Ich~" Zero called meekly "Where are you going?"
"I am going to check on a probably traumatized man who probably witnessed a disturbingly psychotic behavior for the first time in his life, and apologize for what you have done. He will probably start avoiding you from now on. Gosh! Why does this guy have such bad luck with you. Do you know that you tackled him last night when you were fleeing god knows where." Ichiru grumbled, without looking at his brother.
Zero perked "OH! But he said he did not mind it, at all."
"What?" that got Ichiru to turn back.
"He kind of took it well. He was cool about it and said that he understood and even volunteered for being a punching bag whenever I am feeling down. Although I am sure he mean confidant by that. My punch might kill him." Zero said jokingly. Leaving Ichiru stunned at the revelation.
The rest of the day went well. Zero reconciled with Kaito, Gin joined them in driving him to the airport to resume his mission and everything fell in place. Everything but the nature of the relationship between Kaname and Zero, which started to shift without them noticing. In fact, despite that Kaname called the deal off, they could not keep their hands off each other. In addition, Zero finally conceded to try to get along better with Kaname as a person by quoting "I would like for us to have a fresh start, forget about the past and move on. However, for me to be able to do so, you have to promise not to bring up the past, anything related to coexistence, feelings for Yuki when we are together because it would make me remember that you are the cold hearted bastard pureblood that ruined my life, which is a major turn off"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A week later, Kaito took over the Chairman duties setting Zero free from the shackles after making him promise that he will stand in for Kaito and come visit more frequently from then on. Because of going back to his place, Zero found that his meetings with Kaname became more frequent thanks to the teleportation ability of the pureblood.
Everyone seemed to have settled into their routine with few indiscernible changes that did not affect the surface of the big pictures. However, one pregnant brunette was not as lucky as everyone else thanks to her bad habit of barging in without knocking.
At the beginning of the week, Yuki drifted to sleep with Keiichi in his bed. When she woke up, the brown-haired woman panicked when she did not find the red haired child. After searching every nook and cranny of the dorm, she concluded that he might have wandered off to see Zero thinking that he is still at the chairman office.
Completely oblivious to everything but finding the missing child, Yuki pushed the door open shouting "Zero! Did Kei-chan co…m..e….bby…."
She froze at the sight that greeted her. A blondie she recognized as a flushed Takuma Ichijou who was staring back at her wide-eyed in horror. The fact that Takuma was in the office was nothing new, but the compromising position that Yuki walked on in was unusual. He was on his knees on the carpet bending over with his upper body resting on the couch in front of him, with his bottom half completely naked and obviously mounted by another man clutching his hips. Yuki could barely process the fact that she just walked in on Ichijou having sex with another man at the chairman office. Oh my-! Without being able to finish her thought, Yuki slammed the door closed and ran down (wobbled down) the corridor. He was feeling her face get hotter and hotter knowing that she must look as red as a tomato by now if her racing heart was any indication. Oh my god! That was embarrassing! How am I going to face Ichijou-sempai from now on. Gosh! I can't believe I witnessed him being intimate with Kai-!
All blood that rushed to her face drained in an instant at the sudden realization. That was Kaito! Kaito Takamiya?! Takamiya-sensei, right?! He has no twins, nuhuh!
Yuki turned to stare in direction of the office with a comically shocked expression, pointing shaky finger. That was definitely Kaito, known to hate vampires to the bone, actually getting intimate with- OH MY GOD! DO NOT TELL ME THAT ICHIJOU-SEMPAI IS THE SECRET LOVER HE REFUSEs TO TALK ABOUT! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
A phone call saved her from the fangirl squeal she was about to let out. Ichiru was the one calling her to tell her that Keiichi was with him at Aido's lab.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Back at the Chairman's Office xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Damnit Kai! I told you it is not a good idea to do it here, now what am I gonna do?" the ash blond vampire whined as forest green eyes glared back at a positively pissed off hunter who was in turn glaring at the closed door.
Now guess who will be in the lemony chapter coming up next *grin*
