Part one: "Unusual Acts"

"Zero, c'mon, we have work to do," prefect Yuki Cross said, pulling lightly on fellow prefect, Zero Kiryu's arm.

"Yeah, I'll catch up later," Zero said, packing his books up after detention. He and Yuki had fallen asleep during class again due to their late night duties.

Zero made his way out of the classroom, made a stop at his dorm, before meeting Yuki at the school gates where there was a large crowd of excited day class girls and a small amount of boys.

Zero had just arrived when the large gates swung open and the girls went wild. There at the entrance was the Night Class looking at the crowd of the excited day class.

"Whose dreams did I enter last night?" Hanabusa Aidou asked, stepping forward.

The girls screamed at their 'Idol-sama' and each tried to get him to notice them with squeals of 'Me! Me! Me!'

Zero and Yuki held the girls back while the Night Class made their way into the school, some smiling at the rabid Day Class, others just making their way stoically towards the school building. Zero scowled at the passing Aidou for stirring up the crowd and making his job harder.

"Stop pushing," he growled at the girls behind him, who suddenly went quiet and moved away from the irritated prefect. When Zero turned back around, Senri Shiki and Rima Touya were passing him. Rima and Shiki were rarely seen apart. Shiki quickly glanced at the silver haired boy, before turning to stare straight ahead.

'Stuck up vampires,' Zero thought with contempt.

Zero was patrolling the quiet forest as he usually did. Not because it was his job, but more so out of habit. He strolled along the river that ran alongside the trees, listening to the calming sounds of the water. But the water couldn't distract him from the sudden presence he sensed. Senri Shiki was walking slowly through the forest. For once, he was alone. There was no company of Rima or Takuma Ichijou.

From Zero's memories of his forest patrols, he remembered the sudden appearance of Shiki one night, and from then on, he got used to sensing the noble class vampire and watching him from afar. Though Zero wasn't sure if Shiki sensed him in return.

"Shouldn't you be in class?" Zero asked, raising his voice so the red head could hear him. Shiki suddenly looked up from his silent gaze which was cast downwards. It seemed he only just noticed that Zero was there.

"Why aren't you in class?" Zero asked again.
"I have my reasons," Shiki said, quickly looking back to the leaf covered floor.
"Yes, but you still should be in class, reasons or not." Zero said.

"Can you just leave me alone?" Shiki asked, his usually stoic voice sounding slightly flustered.

Zero shrugged and turned to walk away to leave the other in peace. He didn't want to be annoying.

"Wait!" Shiki suddenly blurted out, quite unlike his emotionless self.

"Hm?" Zero asked, turning back to the younger boy, a somewhat interested looking playing on his features.

"Uh..." Shiki looked quite confused to his actions.

'What am I doing? This isn't like me...' Shiki thought, frowning ever so slightly.

"Yes?" Zero asked. The uncomfortable look on the model's face was amusing him.

"Um, doesn't matter," Shiki said, shaking his head, hoping that Zero wouldn't notice the embarrassed blush creeping across his lowered face.

"Are you sure? It seems like you have something to say to me," Zero said, cocking one eyebrow. It was unlike him to pry, but the model just looked too fun to play with. The blush on Shiki's face reddened.

"I, um... I..." Shiki stuttered. Zero couldn't take it anymore. He leaned forward and lifted Shiki's face to his. Their lips were less than a centimetre apart, yet Zero hesitated. It wasn't like him to act on impulse like this.

"I'm sorry," Zero apologised, straightening up; a soft, pink blush made its way onto his cheeks.

"Why are you sorry?" Shiki asked; his eyes curious.

"It was wrong of me to do that," Zero muttered, not meeting Shiki's eyes.

"It's okay," Shiki said, leaning up to the taller boy and capturing his lips in a sweet kiss. Zero's eyes widened in surprise at first, before slowly closing to savour the pair of lips which were connected to his. Shiki shortly pulled away, taking Zero's hand in his.

"Would you... mind if I skipped class with this as the reason?" Shiki asked quietly.

"Well... as a prefect: yes, I would mind because as I said before, you should be in class, reasons or not," Zero said. A hurt look passed over the model's face.

"But in my own opinion... I wouldn't mind at all," Zero said, waiting for the red head's reaction.

What Zero said slowly dawned on Shiki's face as he took it in. Zero lifted Shiki's beautiful face to his own and gave the younger boy a short, yet passionate kiss, securing his answer.
