Chapter 5
Zero ran to his room at the chairman's house, flopping onto his king size bed face first, covered with lilac sheets.
'Why didn't you tell me this before?'
'You weren't ready, I had to get you to be friends first, become more comfortable with him, then there was your hatred for all vampires'
'Is that the main reason why you detest Yuki Cross, because Kaname shows blatant favoritism towards her, he flips onto his back staring at his starry night ceiling, and you know I don't hate vampires as much anymore, just those deserving it'
'Only by my prompting, but that's only one of the reasons I loathe the girl,she sighs, you should know she's a pureblood vampire.'
'What, he sits up, how?' he asks curious, never doubtful of her words.
'A spell, though not a very good one, to turn noble vampire human for a period of time or until someone breaks it, the method use to active such a spell requires the user to sacrifice themself.'
'So it's a blood sacrificial curse, but who would do such, probable in desperation, to turned her and why, for what purpose?' he grabs one of his pillows to hug, burying his face in it contemplating.
'My guess is as good as yours, but if my assumption is correct someone is trying to hide her from danger and/or buying time for something.'
'Does that mean father knows and Kaname as well, is that why he treats her so special?'
'Of course Kaien knows, she huffs, Yuki is Kaname's sister and fiancé'she spat bitter.
'His sister, he squeezes the pillow tighter, and…fiancé?' he thought weakly, displease.
'Not for long if I have anything to do about it, but if someone really is after her, Kaname will be involve meaning we will intervene to deal with any threat for him, even if it means protecting her.'
Zero didn't object her words, conflicted by the new information, he curls around his pillow going to sleep.
While they were having their little talk Yagari and Kaien were having a discussion of their own regarding the teen's state of 'health'.
Zero skip morning classes and change-over the next day, thinking about his conversation with Kai, patrolling the grounds when he senses Yagari approaching.
"I can guess by your expression father told you" the silverette states seeing his old master came into view, not pausing in his steps.
"Why did you keep it secret?" Yagari demands stepping in the ex-human's way before he could pass, forcing Zero to stop.
"As they say, 'to fool your enemies you need to fool your friends', and wouldn't that defeat the purpose had I said something, he retorts then move around the older hunter, I don't wish to discuss this further I have things to do."
Yagari stare after his former student sporting a frown then with a sigh walk away.
After patrolling Zero went back to his room at the chairman's house instead of the dorm (he hardly stays at the sun boy's dorm since he remodeled his old room entering high school).
On his way back to his room from the kitchen for a cold drink, after a warm shower, he finds Yuki sleeping on the couch in the lounge.
Looming over her unsuspecting form, silver hair loosened, body rapped in a fluffy white towel (like a girl), another in hand to dry still damp silk strands, expression blank.
'So defenseless, Kai purrs, we could easily strangle her' she proposes 'innocently'.
Before he could retort Kaname appears at the entry way eyeing him intensely.
"Don't look at me like that, he shields himself with his arms like a virtuous maiden, I could get the wrong idea if you keep staring so intently, Ka-na-me" Zero tease with a sly smirk.
The pureblood averts his gaze, a light faint pink dust pale cheeks, cough to hide his reaction.
'How adorable' he agrees wholeheartedly.
"I came to find you after talking to the chairman, so we can talk, don't think you've avoided me long enough?" he stares at the ex-human.
"I wasn't avoiding you, he lowers his gaze, fine, he huffs at the pureblood's non-believing expression and raise brow once he glances up, I was, lets go to my room for privacy" he walks pass with a resign sigh.
Kaname spare the sleeping brunette a quick glance then follows after the silverette, staring at his ass and expose long creamy legs.
Opening the door to his room Zero head straight to his walk-in closet (built when he remodeled) while Kaname close the door behind him then sits on the king size bed, breathing deeply in the addictive scent permeating the room.
Zero step out a minute later dress in gray booty shorts, gray thigh high socks and a large, off shoulder, long sleeve grey t-shirt, exposing flawless skin.
He sits before his vanity mirror, beside his bed, then starts brushing long silk tresses.
"Why didn't you tell me, Kaname asks softly, I was worried about you, enough to offered my blood, which was refused, repeatedly" he voice displease.
Zero's hand pauses mid stroke, meeting his dear friend's eyes in the mirror, "What could I have said, and drinking your blood was too risky with your overzealous followers, he sighs placing down his brush then moves to sit next to the pureblood, honestly at first it was to have the upper hand against…well enemies then we started growing closer, I wanted to tell you-"
Lavender eyes widens when his lips were seal in a heated kiss.
Zero didn't pull away but close his eyes and reciprocate pleasing Kaname who deepens the kiss, wrapping his arms around the hunter's waist, pulling him flush against his chest.
A soft moan escapes soft pink lips when Kaname's hands starts straying, before things got too heated Zero push him away slightly breaking the lip lock.
"Wait, what about Yuki, he pants, I thought you only saw us as close friends."
"How could I when I've wanted you for a long time, he lovingly caress the hunter's cheek, hid my emotions assuming you wouldn't feel the same, I didn't want to risk losing you completely by confessing if you don't reciprocate, after getting you to finally accept us being friends, a confuse frown cross his face, and what does Yuki have to do with this?"
Zero looks away with a sigh, "I know Yuki is a pureblood, he feels Kaname stiffens, who's your sister, lavender stares into burgundy, and your fiancé."
"…How?" is the only thing that left the pureblood's lips due to shock.
"I'd known for a while now-
'Yeah, days ago' Kai snorts.
-just didn't care enough to pry" 'shut it k!'
With a sigh Kaname slumps, resting his head on Zero's shoulder, "I don't see Yuki in a romantic or sexual way and the engagement was an arrangement by our parents on a childish promise, he shifts to stare at the silverette with a frown, which reminds me, why don't you like her-I know you hide it from others and play nice with her publicly but you never answer whenever I asked your reason."
"I just don't like two-faced people-
'Cause she's an emotionally manipulative bitch that thinks the world revolve around her!' Kai snarks.
-let's leave it at that" he relaxes when the pureblood didn't point out his dodgy reply.
"Since we feel the same, judging by the kiss, what do you think about us dating?" Kaname asks after seconds of silence.
Red floods Zero's cheeks, lowering his head, using silk strands to shield flush face.
Kaname wisely change the subject, overlooking the hunter's avoidance of the question, yet again, not wanting to ruining the good mood, 'he'll tell me when he's ready.'
Zero couldn't deny the pureblood's words regarding his infatuation, given his reaction earlier, shyly he peeks through long lashes at the pureblood, blush deepening at his please expression.
Using long index finger, Kaname lift Zero's face to his, "playing coy are we, he whispers stealing a soft peck, I would be heartbroken if you continue to treat me as just a friend hence forth" he lowers the silverette to lay back on the bed, leaning over his sprawl form, resting a knee between Zero's legs.
Zero feels a hand slips under his shirt, up his stomach to his chest. He stifles a softly moans with his palm as his nipples is fondle, "w-wait, he places his free, strangely weak, trembling hand on Kaname's shoulder, I'll go out with you but this is going too fast, we can't go any further, not tonight" he groans as Kaname ignores his words, littering his neck with light kisses.
"Why?" the pureblood asks, biting where shoulder and neck meets without breaking skin while trailing the hand under Zero's shirt down into his shorts to stroke the hunter's half erection.
"Mmufh-Kaname" he whimpers drawing his knees together, trembling, feeling more sensitive than usual. He tries stifling his moans, not wanting to succumb to the handsy pureblood or give in to his desire, "please stop."
With a kiss on the lips then Zero's forehead, Kaname roll to lie next to him releasing a disappointed sigh, "forgive me, I couldn't help myself, he pulls a heaving Zero onto his lap to staddle him, forcing the teen to place both hands on the brunette's chest to support himself, you're just so tempting" burgundy eyes glows crimson.
Feeling their arousal press together, Zero bite his lip to suppress a moan.
"Having to hold back for years, he kneads Zero's ass, do you know how hard that was, he sits up to whisper in the hunter's ear who release a shuddering breath, reconsidering his reason to stop, every time I see you this overwhelming urge to devour you senseless consume me"
Zero is out right panting, grinding on the pureblood.
"I held on by a mere thread channeling that energy into caring for Yuki and when we're alone, he nips Zero's ear, it was torture" he seals their lips in a toe curling, hungry kiss.
Zero finally gives in, wrapping his arms around Kaname's neck, responding passionately, releasing soft mewls between gasping breaths.
A knock on the door jolts the duo from their heated exchange.
To be continue…
