Eiri simply stares at the chess pieces blankly. Somehow or another, the rules never seem to want to stick in her head. She doesn't understand why- it's not like she's an idiot. Her grades are the third-highest in her grade, coming up short to Zero at second place, and Saeki who snatched up the top position. So how is it that she can't ever seem to remember the rules to chess?
She looks up, facing Kaname who is sitting back in his seat, his legs crossed at the knees, his hands folded on his lap. His gaze is on her, their burgundy eyes clashing. His eyebrow raises. "Do you require assistance, yet again?" His voice sounds gentle, helpfuleven yet Eiri's ears pick up on the slightly mocking undertone. Her eye twitches. Bastard.
Nevertheless she easily schools her annoyed expression with a mask of confidence as she sits back in her own chair, placing her chin on the palm of her hand as she tosses the pureblood in front of her a grin. "How about I take my queen to your king and make the board rock, hm~?" Her voice is a low and seductive purr.
"I'm afraid that's not quite how the rules go, Eiri," Kaname's voice is carefully blank, but his eyes darken slightly in obvious amusement.
Eiri's grin widens a bit. "Then how about we make our own rules?"

"Kame!"
It takes Eiri's all not to burst out into laughter, and it takes Kaname's all to keep up the gentle smile, as small hands weave into his hair, tugging the strands harshly. Big red eyes blink up at Kaname, a wide smile on small, rosy lips.
"Are you sure you don't need to take her from you?" Eiri doesn't bother hiding the obvious amusement in her voice.
"That's quite alright. I have a fondness for children," a bit of a lie, and they both know it. Kaname doesn't have any particular feelings for anyone that isn't related to him in some way, but if he is to see more of Eiri, then he will end up seeing more of... this thing as well.
"Ka~me, Kame!"
A particularly hard yank on his hair causes Kaname's smile to strain slightly, while Eiri gives up on trying to keep in her laughter, throwing her head back in a fit of giggles.
Kaname sighs, his eyes shifting back to little Miira in his arms, whose red eyes are focussed on his wavy locks. He opens his mouth to reprimand the girl, but then she shifts her eyes to her and smiles happily. Her red eyes are a lot like Eiri's, only a bit rounder, more innocent. With another sigh, Kaname looks away again, his scalp aching a bit as his hair gets yanked once more. "You are lucky that you are cute," He mutters, voice having a slightly miserable undertone to it which simply causes Eiri to crack up all the more.

The ghost of a smirk is on Kaname's lips, his eyes trained on a certain silver haired figure. He enjoys seeing that slight glowing tint that indicates thirst, to see the beginning of a madness that only he can quench.
Yes, Kaname quite enjoys knowing that this certain person is a complete and utter wreck without him.
Wordlessly, Eiri looks between Kaname and Zero, then back at Kaname who has yet to stop staring at Zero. She then sweat drops. "You're a real sadist, you know that?"
Kaname merely chuckles in response before turning his attention back to Eiri. "I suppose I am an extreme sadist, and an extreme masochist, both."
"Good," Eiri's usual grin grows onto her lips as she leans just a bit closer to the pureblood leader, before the grin transforms into a smirk, her eyes slightly narrowed in amusement. "Because I have quite the sadistic streak, myself."

"Hmm... If Kiryu were a girl, I bet you'd bang him."
Kaname's eyes shift to Eiri, before his eyebrows raise high. Where did that even come from...? Not just the comment, but also the person in the comment...?
Eiri merely tosses a grin at him in response to the blank look.
Kaname sighs, shaking his head. It's not the first random comment she throws at him. "I would not... 'bang Kiryu', as you so put it, if he were a girl," He says, his tone dry. "However," he continues, a playful undertone as he smiles faintly at the girl "If you were to have been born a male, I might still have, 'banged you', nevertheless," Kaname chuckles.
"What? No way," Eiri says, cutting the chuckles short.
"Oh?" Kaname raises an eyebrow, demanding an explanation without actually asking for it.
Eiri's grin widens. "Darling, if I were a guy, I would be banging you,"
Kaname's facial expression to that statement is one that keeps her amused for quite some weeks after.

They bother him, the fang scars on his arm and the even deeper fang scars on her neck. Not enough for him to mention them, but enough for him to subtly hint at his annoyance through casual touches that linger on each and every scar, and through darkening looks whenever she unconsciously reaches up and scratches the bite scars on her neck.
Most of all, it bothers him that he can't simply bite over them and replace them with his own scars, because even though she is different than a mere human, Eiri is still not yet ready to become a monster like him.

Because Eiri and Kaname are DEFINITELY wicked xD
Figured that I'd finally try to write a few short drabbles which might be fun to read~
The place I picture them at, is at the beginning of Kaname and Eiri's relationship, when things are still settling down a little, but when things have been going on long enough for them to be comfortable - and for Kaname to be somewhat used to Eiri being... Eiri *sweatdrop*
I'm a bit unsure on if I've written Kaname properly, and if someone has any tips for me, please leave me a comment / note w
Also, for the people interested, I'm currently working on a 'chapter' of sorts that is filled with slice-of-life moments (mostly) between my OCs, with only minor canon appearances.

On the other hand, I also quite enjoyed writing these scenes between Kaname and Eiri, and will definitely be doing so again xD
