R18+ content, explicit
This chapter is huge, really long so grab a coffee and have a seat. You might want tissues as well
I am utterly disturbed by my own writing. I think my smutty muse dug deeper than in any other smut I attempted before. I had to literally take breaks so that I don't get affected by my not so clean scenes and too vivid of an imagination.
If you are to sue anyone for any eventual nosebleed, go after My Hopes and Dreams who inspired me to write this smexy scene, which was not supposed to be there in the first place, but her request fit this chapter like a glove, so I personally cannot thank you enough for it.
Also, Gin is turning into a major OC in this story thanks to miketsukami13. I am also sure that he will get some haters and some other fans.
I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Today was a good day for Zero, He made the trip to Cross's house last night and stayed over. Now, wide-awake, he made his way downstairs at the sound of chattering. In the kitchen, Kaito and Gin were talking over a lavish breakfast that Zero was sure that Kaito did not make. He glanced at the blue haired teacher and sighed. After greeting, he joined them on the table after pouring his cup of fresh coffee.
Today was a good day for Zero because Ichiru is finally getting discharged; it took more than two weeks for his brother to get clearance to leave. He was disappointed to know that drinking Aido's blood did not mend his broken bones, but was grateful that his hunter's blood allowed him a slightly faster recovery.
The three men joked about the hilarious face Aido made when Ichiru announced that he wanted to go back to his place first thing after discharge, the golden-haired vampire looked like a dejected puppy who did not get his treat. However, as long as he was happy, they were ready to tolerate the caprices of the silver-haired patient.
Zero remembered something and decided to inform his companions beforehand, "Guys, since the discharge won't be until later, there is someplace I need to go before swinging by the hospital. I am sure that Hanabusa will insist on driving Ichiru so you two will come with me to leave them alone." They nodded as he stood to get ready for his side trip.
Following the direction of his navigator, the hunter pulled his car in front of the house that gave the warm feeling of family but the aura of mourning seeped just the same. The chime rhymed when he pushed the doorbell button. Moments later, a woman answered the door, exhaustion visible on her face.
"Welcome Kiryuu-san! We were expecting you, come in please." With a slight bow, they went through the corridor to enter a sunny room opening on a Japanese style garden. Zero refused to have the woman treat him to drinks or anything else and asked to be allowed to get on with the purpose of his visit.
She guided him towards an adjacent room where he sat on a cushion in front of an altar. The image of the smiling old hunter sent stabbing pain through his chest. Zero respectfully lit the incense and prayed for his soul to rest in peace. A little shuffling at the corner of his eyes caught his attention as a small figure peeked at him. He beckoned the small man to come closer. Taking the child in his lap, they both remained silent for a moment staring at each other.
"You're Kiryuu Zero?" The child asked, with a curious look in his big eyes
Zero nodded, smiling with difficulty.
"Daddy always talks about you, that you are strong…"
"Really?"
"uh… Are you really… Uhm… a vampire?" he asked hesitantly.
Zero nodded cautiously, loosening his hold on the child in case he get frightened and wants to run. However, the starry look of awe caught him by surprise.
"Amazing… There are good vampires… Daddy always says that… What was it? Ah! not all vampires are bad, so I should not say I want to kill, but I want to fight." He talked, nodding.
"You love your daddy, don't you?" Zero asked with a sad smile.
The shine in the boy's eyes dimmed, dropping his head as he twirled his fingers, "Ne? Mommy said that daddy went to heaven… That he won't come anymore… But… *hic* *sniff* he promised… *sniff* that… that he will come *hic* to my play… He helped me learn…" Zero's heart shattered at the sight of the wailing child, feeling like he had no right to console him because of his guilt.
Hearing the crying, a young girl came rushing in, "Katsumi!" When her eyes landed on Zero, the hunter unconsciously flinched at the amount of hate that dwelled in them. She flung her little brother from his arms and started screaming to the point that her mother had to pull her out of the room, "What are you doing here! Leave! Leave us alone! Murderers! What are you letting him in for, I told you not to let any of these people step foot here. What are you always coming here for, you people sent my father to his death! Why did he have to go while you are prancing around… WHY DID WE HAVE TO BE DEPRIVED OF HIM! YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED INSTEAD, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED INSTEAD! GIVE ME MY FATHER BACK!" Her voice dulled as she was taken away, the last thing Zero heard, "I will never hand Katsumi over to your barbarian organization… He will never become like you…"
Minute later, the mother came back with a cup of lemonade, "I am sorry Kiryuu-san! My daughter is still under the shock of losing her dad… You see… My husband used to spend every spare minute he has with his children, so they are more attached to him than any other hunter's kids would be. I will make sure that she comes to apologize some other day when she has reflected enough."
"No! Please don't do such a thing… She has all rights to grieve and her actions are excusable." Zero tried to maintain a neutral expression as he talked with the woman. He then excused himself when the meeting time at the hospital drew close.
"I know this is not much, but I would like to take care of their education expenses if you don't mind." Zero suggested, hoping that the woman would not oppose the idea.
The surprised look and the confusion written on her face made Zero tilt his head. "I had a suspicion, but I never thought it was really from you." She gave him the warmest smile as she pulled an envelope from her apron pocket.
"The social consultant that came this morning handed this to me. I was shocked by the content, and more when she explained that the same amount will be sent on a monthly basis. Frankly, I thought that only the orphans from the wartime got this support… I can't begin to thank you enough."
Zero suddenly got more confused. He asked to check the envelope without showing his curiosity through his poker face. It did not have the sender's name, only the name of the woman, handwritten. He opened it and found a wad of cash inside with a card.
"We are sorry for your loss… No apology or comforting words can ease the grieve of losing a loved one, but we mustn't lose sight of the one alive and needing our help to grow. You will be receiving this amount on a monthly basis into a bank account in the name of your son. Please provide the education details to the consultant on the next visit to allow us to cover it… Material help might be the only way we can help, but we wish you all the luck and strength to keep going. Regards"
Zero's lips curled up slightly, he gave the card back to the woman saying that he was not the sender but he will be around in case she needed anything at all. The surprised woman asked if he knew of the sender's identity. He gave her a charming smile while answering, "I do have a guess, but that guess tells me they rather remain anonymous."
After bidding her goodbye, he drove in direction of the hospital, thinking of the handwriting on that card. His training as a hunter and keen brain allowed him to pay close attention to details even if he did not mean to. The curves, height of the letters and the spacing in between reminded him of a note a certain somebody left him after they fixed his car's battery some time ago. "He beat me to it, but I can't bring myself to get pissed. That bastard!" he grinned, pulling over at the parking lot exactly at the same time when Hanabusa and co were exiting his car.
After some greeting, flowers, gifts, they managed to get the silver-haired human twin out of the hospital. With his jacket over on shoulder and the tie loosened up, Zero growled at his brother who chose to piggyback Aido instead of using a wheelchair, "Did you have to flirt with every moving object in the place?"
"That's mean nii-san! I never flirt, just being friendly. Its gets boring staying there by myself for two weeks and it is not like you guys can visit all the time." Ichiru pouted.
"It seemed to me that they wanted to keep you there for a while longer. I can't believe that wailing nurse, my ears are still ringing."
Everyone laughed at the memory of the nurse in training who was strangely attached to the silverette. It seems like Ichiru helped a lot by being her guinea pig with the needles and bandages without complaining.
"Come on~ Don't be so jealous, Zero!" Aido teased, already used to his lover's antics.
"How come you don't look jealous?" Gin asked the vampire.
Aido shrugged, "Why should I? He is mine and I believe in him." The offhanded remark managed to make Ichiru blush crimson as his friends teased and whistled at it.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ In Ichiru's apartment ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Finally home, Ichiru made a few phone calls to invite His bartender for lunch and order the food and snack to go along with the liquor that Ryou will bring. They were set on getting smashed to celebrate his escape from the white prison. And get smashed they did. Ryou ended up calling an acquaintance of his to open and tend to the bar and spent the night, like sardines in a can, with the others in Ichiru's living room. They were too stoned to be able to leave without causing an accident.
The next day, a Saturday morning, most of them woke up with raging hangovers, seeing that they purposely drank liquor containing silver wine, it was expected.
Ichiru was surprisingly the one with the highest tolerance. He used his walking sticks to make it to the kitchen. With the help of a tall bar stool along with the practical way he arranged the kitchen, it was easy for him to whisk a simple breakfast and blend a not so tasty hangover drink. The sound of the blender led to few pained cry and groans from the living room. Aido joined him with an amazing chicken head like hair, rubbing his eyes and holding a pack of the hangover medicine that Ichiru added to their drinks.
By the time they got sober enough, it was already evening. Kaito, who never learns a lesson, suggested another night of drinking but outside this time. Surprisingly, no one objected seeing that there was no duty the next day. Ryou was the only one who excused himself saying that the guy who helped the night before is not one who appreciate being used too much. They were getting ready to set off when Zero's phone vibrated in his pocket. He clicked to display the message Kaname sent.
: "How about a rewind of the after party, without the spoiler?"
Zero looked from his phone to the bustling bunch in the room with him. He hesitated for a moment, looking at his brother's happy face before finally typing the reply.
He tucked his phone again and cleared his throat to get some attention, "Sorry guys, it seems that I need to bail out on this one as well. Some important work came up."
He received some booing from Ichiru and Kaito along with complaints from Gin and Aido but managed to escape them, as usual.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ In front of his apartment building. ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Zero slowed down when he saw Kaname standing at the entry of the parking. The pureblood hopped in the car with a suitcase in hand.
Zero eyed the object, "You did not run away from home did you?" he joked.
Kaname chuckled, "No! This is stuff we need for the 'roleplay'"
"So we are really doing that, huh?" Zero sighed, "Never knew you had such a fetish." He mocked the brunet.
"Me neither, but I have some plans to make it up for that time." The pureblood explained. Zero noticed his exceptionally good mood, but decided not to comment on it. It has been a while since they got together because of the busy time they had dealing with the aftermath of that mission, and Zero was set on making the most of this weekend.
Kaname used the key that Zero gave him after a lot of persistence to open the door. He dragged the silverette into the bedroom.
"I see that it got fixed." Kaname pointed that the wall he crashed against before was not cracked anymore and a new full-length mirror was standing against it.
"I won't ask you for the repair fees." Zero teased as he grabbed his collar to get the kiss he was dying for, pouting when Kaname escaped him again to open the suitcase. The hunter let out a baffled laugh when he saw the familiar tools, wig and other things that he used for the mission, except that the wig was that of a long wavy platinum blond hair. Little did he expect Kaname to pull out an identical dress to the one he wore as well.
"Holy shit! You really are obsessed with it." He exclaimed.
"Is that bad?"
"Please tell me there is no wiretap in there." Zero scoffed
"Stop being silly and undress."
Seeing the determination in the Sienna-colored eyes, Zero started removing his clothing since he figured that a refusal did not have a place in the pureblood mind right now.
Unlike the last time, Kaname was more assertive in dressing Zero himself from A to Z. Zero was not the most compliant one though, since he took every chance he got to rile the pureblood up; by rubbing against his hands as Kaname put the male 'lingerie' on him. Foot teasing him when sliding his leg into the stockings, as well as kissing every time Kaname's face got close while applying the makeup. As aroused as he was by the end, Kaname was determined to carry his plan through.
With both of them facing the full-length mirror as Kaname buttoned the dress up, Zero noticed the slight alteration made. "I can see that you are no fan of big breasts." he teased pointing to the smaller fake mounds, but did not bother pointing out the different length of the slits, which did not go as far up his thigh as the previous one. "Where did you get your hands on this anyways?"
Kaname hummed in amusement as he finished the last button, hugging the hunter while looking at him through the mirror with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Let's say that I have my resources."
Zero rolled his eyes at the vague answer. Kaname, on his part, was not about to disclose that he made a certain blond noble do the deed. He chuckled softly at the memory of the disturbed face Takuma gave him when he handed over the torn dress along with the order. Of course it took some blackmailing to achieve, using the determination of his friend on keeping his affair a secret. Thus, Takuma could not afford Kaname going and ordering such an outfit. It was fine with him because he was known as the manga geek. What is a little cosplay going to do to harm his reputation; everyone would brush it off as part of his hobby if discovered.
"Now, the shoes and this." Kaname spoke as Zero turned to face him. The hunter scowled at what the pureblood was holding. "What is this? It is not as if we are going out somewhere. Do you have to be this thorough?"
"As a matter of fact, we are leaving in… ten minutes… I already booked a reservation a while ago." Kaname explained to a dumbfounded Zero, who gawked at him.
"Are you saying that you want me to go somewhere looking like this? I thought you called me for the after party rewind?" Zero inquired, getting irritated the game of the pureblood.
"What is an after party without the actual a party?" Kaname explained in a suave voice.
After a lot of convincing, Zero finally slid into the kitten heels, thankful for the little height they had. He glared at the purse that the pureblood extended to him, "I am so not holding that thing!"
A brown eyebrow shot up, "Where are you planning on putting your phone, wallet and gun. Are you perhaps planning on leaving without any of them?"
Zero looked at his outfit, growled and snatched the purse from his hands.
Upon leaving, Zero received the same confused looks as last time from the receptionists who never saw such a woman pass by the lobby. Kaname just chuckled as he stirred the disguised hunter from going to the parking. "I have my car in front of the building."
"Please don't tell me we are going to another party to reproduce the same events minus the pervert." Zero iterated with a long exasperated sigh.
"Not exactly. You will understand once we reach." Kaname answered, irritating him more with yet another vague answer.
"What's with the car?" Zero blurted out when he saw a car other than the Bentley that the brunet enjoyed driving.
"Ah! I kind of had to slice it in two…" Zero scowled at him as he fastened the seat belt of yet another luxury vehicle. "So that is the jolt I felt that time, I thought it was the drug."
"Sorry about that, I might have overdone out of irritation." Kaname apologized sincerely. He did not think that the use of his power would affect Zero through the seal, then again, the hunter was weakened and vulnerable to anything back then. "It is fine. It is not your fault that I was sensitive to any kind of pain. If it makes you feel better, I do not usually feel the jolt when in normal circumstances. Of course, that would not be the case if you used your full power to attack."
Kaname nodded as he left the parking lot, into the driveway.
Zero almost fell asleep during the forty minutes long drive. The car finally stopped in front a small scale imitation of a Victorian castle, illuminated by glowing lights from every corner. The door on Zero's side opened by a man in a black tuxedo saying, "Welcome to Paradiso, Ma'am"
Zero was about to retort, but remembered that he was indeed in female disguise, after making sure to shoot a deadly glare towards Kaname, he begrudgingly took the hand offered and got out of the car. Kaname joined him shortly after handing over the keys to the valet.
As if the hunter was not embarrassed enough, Kaname made sure that he hooked his arms around the one of the pureblood.
"What kind of prank are you pulling, bastard?" He hissed, still using a female voice so that he does not blow his cover in case there were some vampires around.
"I thought it would be fun to roleplay a romantic date." Kaname shrugged and Zero made a gagging sound at the proposition. Kaname chuckled and added, "Well, seeing that you went through the effort of dressing up, why not play along?"
"I dressed in this with another motive in my mind." Zero grumbled.
"Well, indulge this 'fetish' of mine and I will make sure to fulfill that motive of yours with passion" He whispered into Zero's ear with the same husky voice he uses when aroused, making the hunter's skin tingle.
"Not like you have given me a way out… What is this place anyways that is worth that long-ass trip." Zero asked
"Watch the language, lady." Kaname teased.
"F.. U.. C.. K.. Y.. O.. U is read as fuck you." Zero bit back.
Kaname sighed, "It is a membership only restaurant. Its fame goes by the word of mouth and they are very selective when it comes to their clientele."
Zero rolled his eyes, "And… How did you come to know about it?"
"The owner is a friend of mine."
"Oh! So you do have friends apart from the little click at Cross. That is a surprising discovery." Zero exclaimed mockingly while Kaname checked the reservation and guided him inside.
"I will go greet the friend you never thought I would have while you order us something to drink. Meanwhile, guess the reason why I brought you here." Kaname informed as he held the seat for Zero to sit. The hunter was at his maximum irritation, to the point that he might cross his legs on top of the table just to piss the brunet off. Secluded as the table might be, it was still visible to the customers present around. However, Zero had to admire the vintage style of the place, the candlelights strategically placed in a way that it made the place look like something out of a fairytale.
The hunter was taking in the details and interaction until he caught glimpse of the pureblood coming back. He frowned for a moment and Kaname smiled because he knew that is when the hunter figured the answer to Kaname's 'assignment'.
He finally joined him, unfolding the napkin with flawless movement to put it on his lap, "Figured it out yet?"
Zero scowled at him, "We are the only vampires in this place."
Kaname smirked, "And you are the only hunter."
"How?" Zero wondered because vampires would not stay away from such a lascivious place.
"The selective clientele that I told you about." Kaname spoke, "Vampires, hunters, political figures and other power holders are not allowed."
Zero raised both eyebrows in surprise, "How does he keep it going then?"
Kaname smiled, "It is a getaway for the middle class who wishes for a taste of luxury and the occasional people that would like to go unnoticed."
"Oh!" was Zero's only response. Looking around him again, he could see that the customers around did not seem like filthy rich people, and the prices on the menu were not extravagant either.
"Meaning that no one will recognize me here, so you do not need to be on guard," he explained, referring to the incident with Julia. Zero only nodded as the waiter brought their Chardonnay.
After a few drinks and good music, Zero relaxed and decided to enjoy it while it lasts. The tricky part was the food. The prices might be average, but the quality was ultimately high as well as the etiquette. Especially when he is disguised and in the presence of a man who was eating as if carving a piece of art. A vein popped in the hunter's head when Kaname corrected him about the way he was holding the fork. A mischievous smirk showed on his face.
Kaname almost choked on his drink, surprised by the feel of the leg brushing against his and going up, dangerously close to his inner thigh. He kept his poker face while the waiter came to refill their glasses, looking at the quivering lips of the hunter. That certainly did not mark the end of Zero's pranks that lasted until the dessert was ordered.
Kaname sipped on his after meal coffee while Zero played with a tooth stick sensually between his lips, waiting for his chocolate death dessert.
Zero's phone rang suddenly, startling him from his successful attempt at seducing the pureblood. Tapping on his hips out of habit, thinking of picking the phone from a pocket earned him an amused laugh from the pureblood.
He ignored it in favor of the urgent question, "Where is the place with less sound, of the music. I need to take this."
Kaname pointed to the gents' area and Zero walked in that direction, slowing down when Kaname reminded him of his predicament. The smiling pureblood followed his figure until it vanished behind the decorated wall. His red-brown eye finally wandering around, admiring the intricate details of the decorations around him. After all, they had been glued on his beauty of a companion the whole time, etching every detail of this night in his memory. The smile faded slightly, until his eyes landed on the grand piano placed on the three step's high stage. He called the waiter tending to their table for a request.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
"Ichiru?" Zero answered the call as he made his way to the restrooms
"Ah! Nii-san? I just called to check on you. How is work?" Ichiru asked
"Smooth sailing through it." Zero answered with a smirk on his face at the memory of the aroused look he left in Kaname's eyes.
"Oh great! Do you think that you will be done soon so that you can join us for the drinks?"
Crap, I should not have said that! Zero cursed at his own stupidity, he continued talking while heading toward the door with the tag WC on it. "hmm? Don't know. I can't promise Ichiru… I might be too tired to even move… Are you having fun there?"
"Yep, plenty! But… Can you believe those guys, they actually want to go drink in my bar…. Stingy!" Ichiru whined while Kaito was teasing him about being their cash cow when it comes to getting drunk till they drop.
"You say it as if you don't have a tab for each one of us. You just have to remind them of the yakuza way you collect the money by the time they get their paycheck and I am sure they will suggest going somewhere else." Zero suggested. The door opened before his hand reached the knob, a man came out and he was about to walk in when a hand grabbed his.
The man that exited pulled him back and pointed to the male only picture on the door. Not getting the hint, Zero shook his head in an interrogative manner while talking to Ichiru. Not wanting to interrupt his call, the man grabbed his shoulders slightly and guided him in front of the adjacent door, letting go with a small tap. Zero's face went scarlet when he realized his blunder, taking few steps back when faced with the female section of the restrooms. He immediately turned around after finishing the call with Ichiru, embarrassment never leaving his face as he stomped back to their table.
His dessert was already served and he wasted no time stabbing it with the fork. He belatedly realized that the sound of the playback instrumental music was replaced by the sound of live piano. Being an average pianist himself, he could not help pausing his movement and get drawn to the talented playing. The music piece seemed like a modern one, but it was well played to the point that the place got quieter than before. His eyes scanned the room, looking for the grand piano where the sound was coming from. Little did he expect to see the back and hair he grew so familiar with. Little did he expect that Kaname was the one playing the instrument in a graceful manner that left everyone around in awe.
The waiter came right in time to snap him out of his daze with a refill, he then informed him that Kaname requested that he joins him as soon as he gets back. Zero let out a long sigh and stood, taking the champagne flute with him. He is so keen on this roleplaying that it is starting to creep me out; I will just have to play along and take my revenge later. Zero mused as he walked up the three steps elegantly, coming face to face with the smiling pureblood, only the piano separating them. Zero merely leaned on the side of the instrument and followed the long fingers that pushed on the keys in alternating fashion, between soft and hard, long and short.
When he finished, a round of applause echoed through the establishment. Kaname smiled at the look Zero gave him, "You made a mistake in the middle, did I distract you?" the hunter teased, since he did not miss the hardly noticeable blunder that Kaname made.
The pureblood reached a hand that rested on the small of Zero's back and tugged him closer to his side as they went down the stairs, "Not really." He answered. The distraction came from the heads that were turning when the disguised Zero was coming his way. The pureblood had to reign the need to pluck each and every eyeball for some reason.
The playback music was back on. Zero noticed few couples coming their way and stopping at random spots. They started swaying together at the rhythm of the waltz. He tried to run for his life before the next thing he dreaded happened. Kaname swung him around and they came face to face in the perfect positon to dance.
"Kaname!" he hissed with a warning tone.
"hmm?" Kaname played ignorant as he swayed at the rhythm, moving the stiff Zero along with him.
"What are you doing? I don't-"
"You don't dance? I know… Yuki told me, but that is a lie." Kaname whispered in his ear, "Just let yourself go, you can do it."
"No." Zero said firmly as he tried to escape the tightening clutch on his hand, but the hand on the small of his back pulled him flush against the pureblood, bringing their lips close.
"Would you rather I kiss you? right here, right now. Hard." Kaname teased, his breath tickling the platinum strands of the wig framing Zero's face.
Zero growled, and then sighed in defeat, "You will pay for this." he relaxed his tense body, finding it surprisingly easy to follow Kaname's lead.
They swayed and turned slowly around the platform, lost in their own worlds, unaware of the eyes following them with admiration.
Somewhere along the dance, Kaname turned Zero around and brought the hunter's back to his chest. His arms wrapped around his stomach and their cheeks caressing against each other. Zero's hands were on top of his, eyes fluttered close as if in a trance. Kaname's whispers felt like a lullaby to his ears, "See? I knew you could do it." The pureblood insisted while placing a soft kiss on the jawline, and going back to the hidden earlobe, talking through the hair, "These heels are quite convenient."
*Snap*
Zero startled at the sound of a shutter and found a man standing in front of them with those old kind of cameras that spit the picture as soon as it was taken*. The smiling man handed the picture to Kaname who tucked it into the inner pocket of his tuxedo's jacket. He quickly resume the initial dancing position with a furiously blushing and glaring Zero. The photographer did not go far and waited for another opportunity to take another picture. Incensed, Zero did not find a way to escape the lenses than to hide his face in Kaname's embrace. The wicked vampire signaled for the man to take one last picture that he quickly slipped in his pocket in time with the end of the dance.
Zero's agony was finally over when Kaname asked for the check, and his revenge started.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
"Zero~ you have to stop doing that… ungh…" Kaname clutched the steering wheel, trying to concentrate on the road ahead through his blurry vision. After few failed attempts, Zero somehow managed to unzip his pants and stroke him to full arousal with his naughty hands.
A tease from the fake nails under the head led to Kaname skidding to the side of the road, grab the wrist of the demon and pull him into a searing kiss. He spoke through his ragged breath, "If you don't stop I might take you here." What meant to be a warning only aroused the hunter.
Zero whispered against the silken lips, "Do it."
Kaname let out a breathy chuckle, shaking his head, "Do you really want that kind of scent to stick to this car?"
Zero let out a pout in response leading to Kaname trapping that lower lip between his to suck on it slightly. "Be patient, it will be worth it."
That is how he finally calmed the horny silverette. Bored, Zero let the soft sway of the car lull him to sleep all the way to his place. He was later woken up by soft kisses on his closed eyes. Kaname waited for him to chase the daze away before they exited the car.
Zero was still sulking in the elevator as the door closed. That is until Kaname slammed him to the wall and kissed the daylight out of him. The only word that swam through the hunter's brain was, Finally! Finally! Finally! Finally!
Without wasting time, his hands flew to Kaname's pants, but the pureblood grabbed them and pinned them on top of his head, growling into the kiss, he pulled away briefly, "You did quite a few numbers on me tonight, huh?"
Without waiting for an answer, Kaname nibbled the lower lip of the moaning silverette as he parted his legs with his and grinded against him. Zero wished for the ride to never end when he felt Kaname lifting his dress. His free hands wrapped around the strong shoulders, shivering at the hand that squeezed his butt cheek while the other palmed his hardening shaft and sneaking downward to brush against the thin string hiding his entrance. His hips rolled against the touch and he moaned when the hoarse voice of the pureblood tickled his ear, "You're so dripping wet already, how long have you been like this?"
Kaname was always amazed by Zero's ability to self-lubricate, but he was more impressed by how needy the hunter was tonight. He shoved three fingers in Zero's mouth and played with his tongue before pulling them. Without breaking eye contact with the gasping hunter, he pushed the string of his underwear aside and pushed the digits, one by one slowly and deeply. Zero never stopped rolling his hips to increase the friction while trying to kiss the pureblood in between his gasps. Their lips met and he nibbled on them to a point of almost drawing blood. With one hand hooked over the strong neck to keep standing and the other clumsily fumbling with a belt, he gasped the words against his lips.
"I want you to fuck… ah… fuck me,"
"I will." Kaname answered with equally ragged breath.
"Hard."
"I will"
"I want haah!... you to shove this" grabbing the clothed arousal "inside me… Oh! So good!"
Kaname growled in response.
"Thrust it deep and hard" he licked the parted lips and kissed them before continuing, "As soon as we get past the door."
*DING*
"Count on it" Kaname answered in time with the elevator signaling their arrival. He pulled his fingers from the whimpering mess of a hunter and whisked him over his shoulder, with a slap to his rear that made Zero gasp in pleasure and giggle afterwards.
True to his words, Kaname put him down and bent him over the corner table next to the door. He brushed the long hair aside and attacking the nape of Zero's neck with kisses and nibble as he grinded against the crack of his ass over the clothes, one hand gripping the hip in a bruising fashion. The other was struggling with the buttons of the back.
The kisses, licks and nibbles went on until Kaname unbuttoned the last one. He then trailed his hot moist tongue over Zero's spine until he reached the small of his back, making the hunter shiver until he begged.
"Take me… Oh! Goood! please, Nowhaah!" Zero reached a hand back and clutched the brown hair in time with Kaname sneaking his hands up to tweak the already erect nipples under the fake breast.
The wicked tongue traveled up again to meet the awaiting one of the hunter for the last dance of the night. Kaname pulled and bunched the dress at the level of Zero's waist before pulling away from the kiss. With a simple push on trembling shoulders, Zero took the hint and bend over the table once again, using the elbows he placed on the wood as support.
The sight of Zero pushing his ass up while wearing the G-string and the stockings clipped to the lacy belt made Kaname feel like he was about to combust inside his suit. He quickly removed his jacket, throwing it on the floor followed by the tie and the buttons that popped while he ripped his own suffocating shirt open.
Hearing the rustling made Zero's skin tingle in anticipation of the hot shaft that will breach his walls, his hips rocking back and forth from the thought alone. He shuddered as nimble finger pulled on the thin fabric to expose his most intimate place for the pureblood to ravish. A deafening moan escaped him at the intrusion that he did not expect. He slammed his hands against the wood and muffled his cry when the wet hot muscle licked around his aperture and pushed inside suddenly. Looking down between his parted legs, Zero could see Kaname down on his knee behind him, one hand stroking him, the other keeping the fabric out of the way while his tongue was wreaking havoc inside of him. He pushed against the wet muscle repeatedly. Moaning when it licked the edges and gasping when it thrust inside.
They kept on it until that much stimulation was not enough for the hunter, who started begging for more again.
"Kaname… Kanammmm… Ahnn! stop… enough!" The death grip, he had over the brown hair, forced the pureblood to spare him the torture.
Sliding up against the trembling body, Kaname started rubbing his freed arousal against the greedy opening. The slick head slid back and forth over the slicker destination, while its owner sneaked the other hand around the chest of the silverette that got exposed thanks to his earlier writhing and the dress sliding on his arms. He reached to Zero's neck and forced him to tilt his head back to bring his mouth close to his ear.
"Tell me…" The order came breathless
"Nnn… Fuck me."
"Wrong."
"Kaname, please~"
"Please what?" the rubbing motion stilled.
"Shove it inside me, I want it… please." Zero whined as he twisted his head in attempt to kiss the brunet, but Kaname's grip on his jaw kept it in place.
"Zero…" Kaname trailed "You are not playing fair… This is role playing, right?" he nibbled on the earlobe harshly earning a sob of frustration.
"Please~"
"hmm?"
"Fuck me! I am dying." Zero's vision swam as the heat of his body crashed like waves of lava, seeking release.
A breathy chuckle added to his dilemma, "We are roleplaying a romantic date, how about you ask for it in a… more loving way. hmm?" he resumed the teasing rub.
A growl echoed in Zero's throat, but he knew that they would not get anywhere unless the pureblood got what he wanted. Thus, Zero reached up to hold the hand gripping his face gently.
"Please, Kana!"
Kaname's heart skipped a beat at the soft tone, his hand slackened, giving Zero the chance to glance back at him with an innocent blushing face. By all means, Kaname had to praise himself for not cumming from seeing that alone.
"Make love to me… Ne? I want you… I want you Bad… AAAH! YESSSS!" Zero finally got what he wanted when Kaname last thread of control snapped and pushed his shoulder harshly before shoving himself inside him without warning.
Kaname pushed Zero's leg apart more, and thrust deeper, making the hunter squeal. Zero had to slam one palm against the wall and another on the table, knocking the glass figurine to the floor. Neither of them bothered about the shattering glass when all they could think about was their sweet release.
The pureblood put his entire weight on the smaller frame of the silverette, his mouth making a mess out of the neck and shoulders. One of his arm rounded Zero's chest and gripped his shoulder bone to keep the hunter from lunging forward as he increased to a piston like speed, leaving Zero gasping and chanting his name like a mantra. He interlaced the fingers of the other hand with those of Zero that he found against the wall.
Neither of them knew for how long they were rutting like dogs in heat until Zero lost all strength in his legs to support both of them. Noticing it through his lust filled mind. Kaname pulled out from the hunter who whined at the loss and turned him around, hoisted him up on the table and hooked the inside of Zero's knees with his elbows, spreading him wide.
The hunter did not have time to feel embarrassed as the sight of the disheveled, half-clothed pureblood aroused more if that was even possible. He was unaware that his messy equally half clothed appearance had the same effect on the brunet. Kaname leaned in to kiss him softly again, eager to bury himself inside the blissful heat again, he spoke against Zero's panting lips.
"Put it in…" The order from the pureblood came out as hoarse plea.
The hunter immediately guided his shaft in position for Kaname to thrust deep to the hilt inside the quivering walls.
"Ohnn… God… this… right there….ahhhnnn… So good… Kana…. Kaname… kissmmmnngh" he did not need to finish as the pureblood claimed his mouth in a sloppy kiss before their breath mingled in rhythm with their bestial rocking.
Kaname hissed when Zero reached his hand to where they were joined and teased his sensitive skin. The hunter was in a trance, watching the length of the pureblood slide in and out of him, until Kaname raised his knees higher for harsher thrust that almost folded him in two against the wall. Unable to form coherent thoughts anymore, Zero's eyes rolled in their sockets as he gripped Kaname's arms for dear life.
"Shit… Ah! can't be… Kaname… Kaname…"
"ugh… What… squeezing… so tight…"
Frightened Violet eyes met wine orbs when Zero felt as if his body had a mind of its own, losing all control as he felt his release coiling.
"dunno~ cum… am gonna cum… soon…" he shrieked, hands flying against the wall as the pureblood kept hitting at the angle that drove him mad.
"Me too" Their hot breath mingled one last time before Zero gripped on Kaname's shoulder blades while Kaname let go of his knees and used the table as support to pound into the hunter faster and harsher. The sound of one shoes falling from the foot swinging midair never distracted them.
They whispered in each other's mouths as their peak neared.
"Kaname… oh!"
"Zero… You are driving… ugh… crazy…uhnn"
"uhnn soss close" Zero clutched the fabric of Kaname's shirt, his control over his body slipping more and more.
"haah… Zero… I am… cum…" Kaname could not believe that he was about to let go so soon, but then again, the hunter's taunting all night long left him strained to the limits. Suddenly remembering a detail, he slowed down a notch.
"Nnnh…no… don't stop" Zero screamed into his ear, his grip tightening to the point that his claw dug through the fabric and left bloody scratches. The intoxicating scent of the pureblood knocked all rational sense out of his head.
"Zero… no…ngh… you have to…" Kaname pulled his face and head butted the hunter slightly in effort to make him listen.
"Mnn… NO! please~" Zero hooked his legs around Kaname's rear when he felt him pull out, his claws dug deeper as he shut the pureblood by kissing him like mad.
Unable to suppress it anymore, Kaname shuddered as his hips slapped against Zero's rear loudly. Zero let go of his mouth, "Shit! cumin….nghhh…haah" the hunter gasped and panted as his release coated their chest, abdomen and Zero's chin. He shuddered as his convulsing walls milked Kaname's shaft after his warm seed flooded his core.
A bang of Kaname's knee against the wooden furniture in attempt to lean on something for support jolted Zero. He suddenly broke in a fit of laughter, not knowing what caused it or how to stop it. Kaname raised the head he was resting on Zero's shoulder, looking at the hunter as if he had grown another head.
Once the fit subsided, Zero brought their sweaty forehead together, snuggling to the pureblood and mumbling, "That was amazing.."
Kaname sighed, hating to ruin the mood but finding it necessary for Zero to know. "Yeah… it was… and it would have been better if you listened to me."
"hmm?" Zero closed his eyes as he rubbed their nose together.
"I was trying to tell you that I did not put a rubber back then." Kaname whispered, bracing himself for the onslaught that never came.
"Whatever…"
"huh?"
"I would have killed you if you pulled out then, so…" Zero finally looked up into surprised sienna eyes, shrugging the matter as nothing.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ At K-bar ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Ichiru noticed the dazed look Gin had an hour after they reached K-bar. He felt pity for the guy who was obviously missing his workaholic brother. He fumbled with his phone. It has been more than an hour since I called nii-san and he said that he was smooth sailing through whatever he had to do. It does not hurt to check on him again, right?.
He dialed the number, waiting for his twin to answer. What is taking him so long?
Zero answered on the third time he called, "Yes?"
"Nii-san, what took you so long?"
"Got held up and could not escape."
"Concentration is good but getting detached from the world is …. just weird… Anyways, did you eat?"
"Yeah, I did. ungh"
"huh?"
"Sorry bumped into the table… What is it Ichiru? I am kinda busy here."
"I just wanted to check on you."
"I am peachy, bye!"
"Nii-" Ichiru huffed, hearing to dial tone signaling that Zero hung up on him.
"What's wrong?" Kaito asked the disgruntled silverette.
"Zero is acting like a jerk."
"Nothing new." Kaito shrugged.
Ichiru's shoulder slumped in defeat, smiling at the truth of the statement.
"Still, I am worried that he get engrossed in his work and forget to eat as usual." Ichiru mumbled
Hanabusa joined their conversation, "I am sure he can spare a minute or two to order food and eat while working. As usual!"
Ichiru pondered, and then shrugged. "Yeah you're probably ri- AH!" he slammed a fist on a palm as if getting a brilliant idea. He quickly dialed the number of a Korean restaurant that Zero liked to eat from, ordered his brother's favorite to be delivered to the bar.
The action earned him three pairs of weird stares, including Gin. Kaito was the one to mock him, "Would you not normally give his address? Or is it for you?…"
Ichiru shook his head in denial.
"What are you scheming then?" Aido asked, catching on the naughty smirk.
Ichiru put a finger on his lips, "Himitsu (secret)"
An hour later, Ichiru lured Gin into the staff changing room. "Look, here is the food and this is the key to Zero's place."
Gin gave him a confused look.
Ichiru scoffed, "What are you looking so stupid for? I need you to take this and go eat with Zero. There is enough for two and it is his favorite. You might want to remember that for future reference." The silverette winked at him.
Gin gave a baffled laugh, "Okay! First you tell me that you can't help me… Then you go and push Zero to consider my feelings and now you are setting us up. Why the change of heart."
Ichiru looked away innocently as if he didn't know what he was talking about before grinning, "Let's see. First I thought that you were not aware of his promiscuous lifestyle, or his unique condition. After that, you surprises me by handling him well when he was sulking and dropped the bomb that you actually slept with him. You might not think much of it but Zero gets really insecure about his peculiar aspects, that is why he tends to push others away. I cannot blame him because I witnessed some of the slander he had been put through. However, I won't let the chance of hooking him up with a great guy like you who accept him for who he is slip without doing anything. Is that enough of an excuse to give a nudge." Ichiru titled his head to the side, laughing at the blushing face of the older teacher.
"Alright, I will take you up the offer, let me call and tell him that I will be there soon."
Ichiru quickly snatched the phone, "That won't do Gin~ Did you hear anything I just said? He has the habit of pushing others away, so~ you need to push even more by being assertive with him. You go and I will tell him that you are already on the way so that he does not find an excuse to refuse. okay~"
Gin agreed hesitantly, not liking the amount of assertiveness Ichiru is pushing him to adopt, but not wanting to pass on the opportunity all the same.
Ichiru joined the remaining bunch with a grin permanently plastered on his face. Kaito was the first one to notice, "What's that creepy look for?... Where did Gin go?"
The grin became a full-toothed smile and Aido paled at that, "Ichiru… you did not?"
Knowing that his lover was spot on, Ichiru nodded enthusiastically. Aido groaned, earning the attention of Kaito and Ryou.
"What?" Kaito demanded an explanation.
Aido looked at his lover and sighed, "He just made Gin go take the food to Zero's place. What part of 'Don't even try to set them up' did you not hear?"
"None of it." Ichiru teased, giving him a tongue out, "Okay then, one more thing to do." He dialed Zero's number.
*Ring* *Ring*
"WHAT?"
"Hello to you nii-san."
"Ichiru… Why don't you have fun instead of pestering the helluva out of me?" Zero growled
"This will be the last call. I just wanted to let you know that Gin is on his way to your place with your favorite food. Be nice!" Ichiru warned.
"What the fuck! Ah" *whack*
"Nii-san? What was that?"
"A mosquito."
"Is that the rustling of sheets, are you in bed."
"Duh! I am about to sleep so have him turn back and enjoy the food together with you guys." As usual, he hung up without waiting for an answer.
Ichiru glared at the device, which did no wrong.
"That is why I said not to interfere. He did not like it, did he?" Aido deadpanned.
"Ugh… he said he was going to sleep, this early." Ichiru spoke in disbelief.
"Well… He did have couple of exhausting days, cannot blame him." Kaito added nodding to himself, "What are you going to do? He can easily leave the guy stranded at the front door because he is too lazy to move."
The grin made its comeback, "I have plan B of course. I am not his brother in name only after all."
Ichiru looked for another number that he called, "Moshi… Moshi… Gin? I just called him. He just got in bed but still awake. Just open the door and go inside because he will be too lazy to move. Have fun!"
"Wait!" Aido called but Ichiru had already hung up. "You gave him your key?" He asked with a horrified, slapping his own face when Ichiru nodded.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ In Zero's bedroom ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
"Grrr! that Ichiru! He can never take a hint." Zero sank his chin in the pillow he was clutching while lying flat on his stomach on the bed.
"What is it this time?" Kaname asked, as he laid perpendicular to the silverette kissing his back from between shoulder blade down.
"He got it in his head to send Gin over with 'dinner'" Kaname paused for a second before resuming the kissing.
"hmm? and?"
"I told him to have him go back. Thanks to you, he heard the bedsheet and I told him that I will be sleeping soon. A big fat lie!"
Kaname chuckled, "Good! Because I want you all to myself tonight."
Zero glanced at the naked form of the pureblood. After the first round, they went on few more times until they reached the bedroom. They took a bath together and now laying naked on the bed. A vein popped in his temple as he whacked the brunet again.
"What were you doing sucking on my freaking nipples while I was talking on the phone earlier? For how long were you planning on sucking them anyways?" Zero growled remembering that the brunet has been tormenting his buds ever since they finished bathing.
"Those fake ones were in the way and smelled bad, now that your scent is back, I want to compensate for what I missed." Kaname got on all four hovering over the hunter and trying to roll him on his back to resume his ministration. A little wrestling was all it took but the result was anti-climactic as Zero used the pillow as a barrier to protect them.
"Knock it off! What am I going to do if they become permanently perky because of you?" Zero rolled on his stomach again.
"That would not be so bad." Kaname teased
"NO!"
"Come to think of it, when will they… you know plump up again?" He whispered as he crushed the hunter with own weight.
"Like hell I am going to tell you when that time comes." Zero huffed as he turned his head to glance up at the pureblood.
Kaname took the opportunity to kiss and bite the soft cheek while his hands played with the silver hair. He pulled and propped on one elbow, gazing at the violet orb with adoration, "As I thought, I like it better like this." He sneaked a hand to hug Zero's midsection and nuzzled his hair.
"Don't ask for it in the first place if you are gonna say that." Zero grumbled but sighed at the tender touch.
"nuhuh… I wanted to make it up for you as well, so…" Kaname leaned to face Zero on the pillow.
Zero chuckled, "You did, plenty…" he placed a quick peck on the pureblood's lips before turning away from the dazzling smile… "Is this game over yet?" he asked referring to the roleplaying.
Kaname checked the bedside clock and whispered in his ear, "Let's keep it up until midnight, shall we?"
Zero scoffed, "Is this some Cinderella story…"
Kaname smiled wistfully, knowing that the hunter could not see it, "Indulge me… Just this time."
"hai…hai"
Zero grabbed the foil packed and teared it while shuffling to face him. He put it on, smirking at the gasp earned from the pureblood. Kaname pressed his body awkwardly against the naked silverette before rolling him again so that Zero goes back to being flat on his stomach. He slid a hand across the lean back, kissing the rose tattoo on the shoulder blade that mirrored his, and then kneading the hunter's thigh slightly. He pushed it softly and Zero complied by hugging the pillow under him and pulling his knees towards his chest. Before he could lift his waist to get in the position he wanted, Kaname flattened him with his own weight while sliding his rod inside the relaxed core.
"uhnn… ah..mmnn"
"Feeling good?" Kaname asked with a strong thrust, slapping against Zero's ass. His hands traveled from a narrow waist up Zero's sensitive sides, armpits and toned arms until they reached the hunter's wrist. He held them and extended them in front of them as he lunged forward. Deep penetration made Zero throw his head backward, hitting Kaname's shoulder as he moaned in pure bliss. The friction of the pureblood pounding into him increased steadily, and so did the rubbing of his arousal against the sheets under him.
Zero accidently opened his eyes to meet their reflection on the mirror standing in front of the bed. His breath caught at the sight of the brunet. The still wet brown locks rocked back and forth with Kaname's movement, eyes full with lust and desire met his through the glass and he watched as the lascivious lips descended on the junction of his neck and traveling up to his earlobe. Zero felt as if his heart will stop any moment if it kept beating any harder from excitement.
"Zero…"
"What is it?"
"I want to try what you did to me the other time, this time on you." Kaname whispered and waited for the answer, looking at the flushed hunter with raw wild desire.
Zero smirked weakly as a wave of thrilling heat course through him, "Getting kinky tonight, aren't we?"
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ few minutes later in front of Zero's apartment ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Gin stood in front of the door, anxious. He had not been to Zero's apartment ever since the night they shared together and he did not know how to act in a place full of passionate memories. He rang the bell but no one answered. He decided to take Ichiru's advice and use the key.
The sight that greeted him was shocking to say the least. He had to be careful of the shards of glass scattered around. Upon venturing further inside, he noticed women clothing and heels scattered around the place along with the remains of a male suit. Gin frowned, wondering when Zero started going for women. He placed the bags of food on the kitchen island before backing away when he noticed a stream of white substance trickling down the short wall. He figured that it was fresh semen and did not dwell much on it. He felt disappointed that Zero actually ditched them to have fun but did not let it get to him. He knew that is one of Zero's vices that could not be helped.
He regretted following Ichiru's advice when he heard muffled sounds. His curiosity brought his misfortune when he followed the sounds to Zero's bedroom. He froze once again by the sight that greeted him. The sweaty back of the hunter faced him, swaying up and down as his hips rolled on the rod that penetrated him. The large hands of the man embracing him spread his butt cheeks, providing Gin with an explicit view of how their bodies connected as one. The man with brown hair and sienna-colored eyes was looking at Gin with a superior sneer, just like back in Cross's house.
A tie that Kaname laced with his magic blindfolded Zero. The pureblood put the cuff-like bracelets that Zero kept in his drawer on him, suppressing all of the hunter's supernatural abilities. The blindfold trapped his senses in a reduced dimension that was limited to the bed. Therefore, Zero was completely oblivious to Gin's presence, and was not able to hear the bell either.
"Kaname…Mnn, AH! Yess! Talk to me… Don't…nnn… keep… quiet…" Zero moaned, clutching the brown hair to guide himself to Kaname's face. He blindly looked for his mouth to kiss and nibble before a hard thrust up made him arch his back like a bow.
"Was that good?" Kaname asked, resuming the glaring war with Gin.
"Yess… so good…" Zero purred as he wrapped his arm around the brunet neck, hugging tight while Kaname kept the same pace.
"What is good, Zero?" Kaname whispered against his ear.
"Yours…" Zero mumbled, but whined when Kaname slowed down, letting him do the work again, "Kaname… please~"
Kaname whispered the words before pushing Zero down on the mattress, and kissing him. He was now hovering over the hunter, still inside him with Zero's legs hooked around his hips. Zero clutched the strong arms on either sides of his head, whimpering when he felt the heat of Kaname's body going away.
Gin tried to look away and leave, but he found himself glued in place, even unable to turn his head. He glared at the pureblood with glowing red eyes and a wicked smirk. Oblivious to the cold war raging under his nose, Zero bit his lips and blurted the words that shattered the human with ink blue hair, "Kana… please… Make love to me! Take me as you like… I want you so bad I can't take it…" the hunter made sure to say it loud like the pureblood requested.
"Do you like it that much when I embrace you, Zero?" Kaname taunted as he slid in and out in slowly.
"Aaahnn… Yes, I love it… The best!" Zero gasped the words as loud as his exhausted lungs allowed while Kaname snapped his hips forward harshly.
Seeing the expression he was seeking, Kaname let go of the hold he had on Gin and focused his attention on the wanton silverette under him. He smirked in the kiss when he heard the hurried footsteps and the slamming of the front door. He took off the blindfold and waited for squinting violet orbs to focus on him, smiling dazzlingly, Kaname whispered, "As I thought, I need to see the face of the one I love when embracing him…"
Zero's mouth gaped before "pffftt", Kaname smiled wistfully, expecting a reaction of this kind somehow. Zero commented in between his fit of giggles, "I swear! This game of yours is hilarious… Never knew you were such a good actor… pffft! Anyone else would have fallen for it in a heartbeat, honest."
"But not you," Kaname finished the thought.
"DUH!" The still laughing hunter confirmed.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ Inside the elevator of Zero's building ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Gin slammed the button and banged his head back against the wall. He felt out of breath, clutching the fabric of his shirt, as if trying to sooth the burning in his chest. His eyes blazing with anger and anguish. He slid down until crouching on the floor, holding his head as if it was going to burst. Feeling his lungs tightening unbearably.
"GGaaaaa" He let out a scream akin to a howl, trying to channel the storm of emotions wrecking him.
Once the elevator pinged, he stormed before the doors fully opened, running down the street in a blind dash, not sure where is it that he was going.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞ Back in Zero's bedroom ∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
They shuddered from their release, their body closely intertwined. Kaname raised his head, brushed back the silver bangs to place one last kiss, "I love you" He spoke, chanting the three words he had been like a mantra, as if praying that the hunter gets affected by the amount of feelings he put in them every single time. Although, in the back of his head, he knew that Zero was treating it as part of the roleplay he suggested himself, 'romantic date'.
Once a little strength came back to his spent body, he hoisted himself up and brought a pillow under Zero's head.
*Phone beep*
Kaname looked around until he spotted his pants in a far corner of the room. He grabbed them and took the phone to check the incoming message.
"Are you being 'summoned'?" Zero teased, finally coming down from the height of his orgasm.
"Sort of." Kaname shrugged, he was about to continue but the buzzing alarm of his phone caught his attention, "Its midnight" he whispered while looking at the reminder he wrote.
"Aww… The fairytale is ending then… I wonder when will get my missing glass shoe back?" Zero teased more, pointing to the one shoe that managed to stick to him until they reached the bedroom.
"Let this prince of yours look for it." Kaname teased back and left the room.
"Cheeky bastard!" Zero called out, laughing and shaking his head. He won't deny that the pureblood's plans turned out to be fun.
∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞8∞∞
Moments later the pureblood came back with his jacket in hand, and sat beside the hunter.
Zero raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were going to get my missing shoe," he pouted cutely.
"I changed my mind." Kaname leaned to take his lips for a tender almost innocent kiss, keeping his face close to the silverette while pulling something out of his pocket, "Happy twenty-sixth birthday, Zero!"
Amethyst eyes widened as he followed the brunet who leaned back and brought a purple small box in his field of vision. Stupefied, Zero pulled himself up into a sitting position, dragging his spent body to lean against the headboard. Kaname took his hand and placed the small box in his palm.
"How?" Zero whispered, "How did you know that-"
"Really? Zero… are you really asking that?" Kaname interrupted with an amused look, "Did you forget that, for four years, Yuki would drag me to the celebration party thrown for the birthday of a certain sourpuss adoptive brother of her. Not only that, but she will force a gift on me and make me give it to you as if I was the one who chose it. Although, I knew that it always ended up in the garbage the very next day… How do you expect me not to remember the date of such an unforgettable day?" he explained with a hint of sarcasm and drama.
"I hope that you would not throw this gift though. After all, I did make the effort to choose one personally this time." He pleaded.
Zero looked from the wine colored eyes to the purple box and back to the eyes boring into his. "Kaname, I…" He was confused, not knowing how to react.
Kaname noticed it and tried to make things easier for him, he scooted closer and bumped their forehead, "This not part of the game if you are wondering how to react and what to say. This is a gift from me to Zero Kiryuu wishing him another year of happiness and many, many after. We did agree that we will try to get along better, after all. right? It's fine if you keep it in some storage box and forget this present ever existed, just promise me you won't toss it away." He kissed the silver head, happy to get a nod as a response.
"Thanks!" Zero muttered with a kiss on the cheek he found close before it got away. He pulled the silver ribbon that was tied in a nice bow around the box.
He carefully opened the lid under the watchful eye of the pureblood. A circular glinting metallic accessory stared back at him, snuggly sitting on shining beige satin. The small silver material was carved with tiny lilies. A couple of miniature precious stones reflected the light of the room slightly. Zero tilted the box to find that they had the exact same shade as his eyes. He looked up into Kaname's expectant face and down again. He reached his fingers carefully and took the object as if to examine it closely. "It is beautiful. Smart choice as well if I had to admit." Zero teased the pureblood.
Kaname sighed in relief, he was glad he took the time to choose the design, stones and figure out the size of the piercing he had ordered to be custom made for the hunter. He was about to throw a fit when the silversmith did not deliver it on time, he thankfully had the insight of ordering it three days prior to Zero's birthday. He looked into the still hesitant eyes of the hunter, frowning. "Something wrong?"
Zero shook his head left to right, "No… It is just… The roleplay… the gift… remembering such a thing as my birthday… The effort you seemed to have put behind all of this… It feels like…uhm"
Kaname's heart skipped a beat.
"Never mind"
Kaname grabbed the dismissing hand, "What is it tell me? You feel like what?"
"Nothing, don't bother."
"Come on, Zero. Shoot!"
"Gaaa…. Fine… I feel like you are misunderstanding something."
"Huh?" Kaname was taken aback when the hunter's answer was not what he expected, "What am I?"
"I dunno, it just feels like you enjoy it."
"I do" Kaname confirmed, but earned a scowl to the answer that he thought would make Zero happy.
"You enjoy treating me like a woman?" The hunter hissed and it clicked instantly in Kaname's head.
"What? No…"
"But you enjoyed staring at me in that female disguise…"
"Yes, but-"
"And you bought me jewelry as a present." Zero trailed holding the ear piercing.
Kaname's mouth gaped like a fish.
"And you were more excited than usual fucking me when I wore those lace, stockings and sexy lingerie." Zero growled, "Aren't you misunderstanding something."
"I AM NOT!" Kaname grounded, clapping his hands on Zero's cheek and cupping his face to stop his chain of accusation, that were true nonetheless.
"I am not treating you like a woman… Okay I enjoyed the feminine figure in that outfit… If I got more excited today is because not only did you play the role to perfection but also because you riled me up so much, and then acting sexily in those garments. How do you expect me to keep my sanity facing that?"
"See, I played the role right, that of a woman, to perfection. Fucking great" Zero gritted. That is when Kaname understood that the hunter's irritation was not directly linked to him. Zero was irritated at himself for acting the way he did, going with the flow and probably liking it. Kaname sighed, I forgot how self-conscious he was about his gender issue.
Kaname tilted Zero's head so that he faces him, "You had it wrong Zero. I meant to convey how amazing you are in achieving something when you set your mind on it. Let's face it, do you see many guys able to pull off that outfit the way you did. I don't mind trying it myself to show you how I would lose miserably compared to you. You might get an eternal mental scar though, seeing a drag queen towering over you."
Zero snorted at the image, but could not help but think that Kaname might pull the look even better than him. He was not about to tell him or make him do it though, not in a lifetime.
He looked away from amused brown eyes, embarrassed from displaying his insecurities in a childish way. Kaname kissed his forehead again, "No matter how you look, what shape your body takes I will always desire you and hold you to our heart's content."
Zero blushed deep crimson at that and stammered, "Idiot! Don't you have somewhere to go?"
"hmm?" Kaname pondered, and then shrugged, "That can wait."
"No, you don't have to stay…" Zero insisted, wanting to get rid of him before he crawl into a hole from embarrassment.
"I need to clean you up."
"I can do that much. Kaname~" Zero nagged, pulling at his arm while the pureblood dragged him to the bathroom.

When they finally got out of the steamy bathroom, Zero was already in a better mood thanks to Kaname's pampering. He was drying his hair with a towel around his waist. The movement of the pureblood caught his attention in the background of his reflection in the mirror. However, he did not dwell on it much. Kaname was just taking out a hanged bag that protected one of the suit set that he kept in Zero's closet. An emergency measure for occasions such as the hunter ripping the shirt that he already started ripping himself. "Make sure to burn that shirt, Zero. It got stained by my blood." Kaname spoke as Zero went past him toward the nightstand. The silver beauty hummed an affirmative answer as he picked the purple box, opening it.
"Ah! I remembered… I wanted to ask about the piece you played at Paradiso… What was the name?"
"Not telling."
"Stingy! Fine… I will figure it out myself…" Zero huffed while taking the earing between his fingers; admiring its intricate details.
"Kaname…" he called out again, to the brunet who was fixing his tie in front of the mirror.
"Yes?"
"Can you put it on for me?" Kaname turned around to find Zero handing him the piercing. He smiled while taking it. After taking off one of the two piercings in his right ear, he clipped the new one carefully. Kaname stepped aside, allowing the hunter to check it out.
Zero turned to him with pursed lips, "It does not make me look… effeminate, does it?"
Kaname chuckled, "Trust me! Your attitude, coupled with those sharp eyes and your ever scowling face leave too little of a chance for anyone to think of you as anything close to effeminate."
After some amused bickering, Kaname finally left to take care of the appointment he was supposed to go since, glancing at his watch, an hour and a half. A victorious smile graced his face as he put the seat belt.

The bartender glanced toward the customer who finished his glass of dry martini and ordering a bourbon on the rocks. He nodded while proceeding to make the drink. He decided that this one would be on the house, as a comforting gesture for the man who seemed to have been stood up after waiting for more than an hour there.
He was about to tell him that it was for free, but was interrupted by another man taking the seat next to his and saying "Did you wait long?"
Seeing the recognition in the face of his customer, the bartender smiled and proceeded to prepare the same drink for the guest.
Grey eyes met amused Wine orbs.
"Took you long enough," he mocked
"You know how it works; I simply cannot take my hands off him once I get started." Kaname spoke nonchalantly as he sipped on his drink
"…"
"So, what is the summon about? Just so you know, I am not into bodybuilders." Kaname glanced at the irritated blue haired ethic teacher with mirth dripping from his voice.
"Quit it with the disgusting humor." Gin gritted, "You know quite well why I called you here."
"I am afraid you lost me." Kaname played dumb.
"Get away from Zero. Simple as that." Gin stated.
"I am afraid I can't do that." He answered with finality.
"Are you going to choose him over Yuki and your unborn child? Or, are you greedy enough to hog both?" Gin asked with a voice dripping in sarcasm.
"I allowed you to witness what you saw for an obvious purpose, which is certainly not a preaching about things that do not concern you." Kaname deadpanned.
"Well so sorry, but your plan backfired." Gin looked at him, turning on his seat to face the pureblood, dangling his drink to clink the ice.
Kaname paused with his glass close to his lips, glancing sideway at the man. "I thought you were smarter than that."
"I am, Kuran. Because I am smart, your little stunt won't drive me away from Zero. It will only make me more persistent, and I will make him mine one of these days. Of course, that is after I snatch him away from you." The petulant human declared without a hint of fear.
Kaname turned to face him the same way he did, "Are you sure you even have what it take to do that?"
"Oh please~ Do you think you are that great just because you made him say 'make love to me' during a roleplay. Did you think I am that dumb not to have it figured out? You hurt me!" Gin explained in mocking yet dramatic voice, irritating the pureblood.
"…"
"Oh! And do you think I don't know that you were tempted to erase my memory of witnessing the kiss in Cross's house? Except, you are aware that many others know about my feelings for Zero, so doing that will do you more harm than good because it will not make me back down from pursuing him. So, you took this opportunity to make it clear that Zero was yours. I honestly pity you for falling in the same predicament as I did. Falling in love with a man who do not even believe in such emotion. Roleplaying in order to let your feelings out without the risk of losing him, drowning in a fantasy-"
Gin lecture was interrupted by Kaname grabbing his collar, a hint of red in his eyes, "You should be smart enough to know that I have other ways to make you back off, namely your family."
Gin brought his face closer, "Yuki would not allow any harm to befall them, and you cannot go against her."
Kaname let out a baffled laugh, "He doesn't even care about you after using you once, what makes you think you stand a chance."
Grey eyes shone, "If both of us were placed on a scale, I am sure that it will tilt towards Moriya Gin."
"Haah? That is some confidence you have." Kaname laughed, letting go of the collar.
"I should be. After all, I am not the creature he despises the most. You might be good in bed, but that all he sees in you." Gin struck at the worst nerve.
"And you think you can best me with that? You know that his carnal desires have a high priority for him, more than any emotion you throw at him." Kaname struck back, putting himself down as it applied to both of them.
"That is another difference between us." Gin pointed out
"What?"
"I am not looking towards giving him what he wants to win him over. I will be providing him with what he needs, he is oblivious to such things, but that will make him unable to live without me on the long run. Of course, that is not something you will ever be able to do because you can never care for him openly." another nerve gets struck.
Kaname ran a hand through his hair in a graceful manner and sneered at the human, "I will advise you to back off if you know what is better for you." the threating note did not go unnoticed.
*Splash*
Wine orb widened as a piece of ice passed close to them going down to the floor. The cold sensation of the bourbon pouring on his brown locks left him speechless, looking at the grey-eyed man who stood, holding the glass on top of his head, sneering down on him in turn.
Gin placed the empty glass on the counter with enough grace that seemed to go in a slow motion. He brought face close to Kaname's "You do not scare me Kuran. I sincerely pity you. I will do whatever I need to do. If you want to get in my way, bring it on. I will gladly take you out for good." He pushed his weight against the counter he was leaning on. He paid for both their drinks and left the dripping wet pureblood with one last remark, "Oh! I meant every single word I said, better keep it in mind! Good night."

*sigh* What can I say? Gin just got promoted to a major OC with the role of being Kaname's nemesis thanks to miketsukami13
