Chapter 11

Zero felt the sun light shine on his eyes, his eyes slowly flattered and was greeted with the sight of a chest in front, looking up he released that he was in a loving embrace with his boyfriend. He was suddenly overcome with Déjà vu. This isn't the first time I woken up in the arms of Kaname, not that I'm complaining, I could get used to it.

He looked towards his alarm clock to see what the time was; he saw that it was only 9am. He contemplated about going to sleep again in those safe, loving arms of Kaname, but groaned when he remembered that he had to go to the hospital and knew it was unavoidable (even though it was something he had been doing for years, he still hated going).

He gave a sigh and carefully manoeuvred his way out of Kaname arms and towards his bathroom, gabbing so clothes on the way.

Once in the bathroom he processed to undress himself, while trying to remember how he was even in his pyjamas as the last thing he remembers was talking (more like crying while the pureblood was comforting him) with Kaname down stairs.

He turned on the shower, after a few second his muscles started to relax as he let the warm water cascade down his thin but lean body. He let his mind replay the event of the last couple of days and was once again overwhelm by the pureblood generosity and love. If it wasn't for Kaname, he knew that he would had taken his last breath that foolish night, when he so stupidly thought that ending is life would have solved everything.

I can't believe how close I was to dying and never experiencing what I now have with Kaname. I'm not naive to think that our relationship in the future is going to be all sunshine and roses, because that is complete unrealistic and our personalities are bound to clash at some point. Plus, we're going to have to deal with the criticising from the vampire and hunter communities (not to mention the single minded humans who can't except same sex couples).

Realising that he's spend too much time in the shower thinking he quickly finished washing is hair and body and truing off the shower to get dressed. He got out of the shower and started drying his body with the fluffy purple towel he had brought in with is clothes.

Once is body had dried he started getting dressed knowing that the weather was meant to be hot today; he dressed in tight short black shorts, a white lose fitting top with a casual grey blazer over the top. He put on his usually earring adding a white gold long chained necklace which had a locket on, to make his top less bland and giving his outfit a 'all together' look (he hid his sling, hoping that he wouldn't have to put it on again, he gained more movement in the arm/shoulder without causing him pain). He got the hair drier and started drying his hair in a way so it had volume at the roots but was still perfectly straight at the ends.

Once he was done he headed back into is bedroom to find Kaname still asleep on his bed. He smiled to himself and headed towards his bed, sitting on the edge. He gently put his hand on Kaname and stated shaking him lightly in an attempt to arouse the sleeping pureblood.

Kaname eyes fluttered open and he blinked away the grogginess from his sleep, once his eyes as focus he looked towards the person waking him from is sleep. His wine eyes lit up when he saw Zero and a smile graced on his lips. "Good morning love. I have to say, I could get used to you awaking me up."

"Good morning to you too Kaname. It was a pleasant surprise to find you next to me, but you need to get ready if you want to come to the hospital with mum and I"

"of course I'll go with you, but I have to get ready at the Moon dorms before we leave. Should I meet you in the kitchen when I'm done?" Kaname said, while sitting up in Zero's bed and turning towards the hunter.

"that's fine, we'll probably still be having breakfast anyway." Zero got off the bed giving Kaname room to get out of it.

"May I use your bathroom to change into my clothes from yesterday? It would be unbecoming if anyone saw me in pyjamas"

"that's fine, but really Kaname needn't have asks, you may use anything of mine, remember what mines is yours." Zero blushed lightly at his own words. Kaname notices the blush on Zero cheeks but decided not to say anything about it. Instead he smirked at Zero and said "That's very sweet of you Zero. I'm going to change now."

As Kaname shut the bathroom door Zero let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. The sooner I get them pills the better, then maybe I won't say such cliché lines.

It didn't take long for Kaname to change and come back into the room. He saw Zero tiding the bed and decided to give him a surprise hug. He silently made his way over to is boyfriend and wrapped his arms around Zero waist from behind. Zero gasped at the contact but relaxed into the hug after a second.

Kaname moved his lips to Zero ear and whisper teasingly "Zero~ guess what I found hidden away, which a certain someone should be wearing as he hurt his shoulder". Zero cursed under his breathe, Kaname had obviously found is sling, Zero began coming up with a plan to convince Kaname he didn't need it now.

Smirking when he knew what to do to convince Kaname he turned around in the pureblood's hold and looked up into Kaname's eyes. He made his lilac eyes big, pleading and slightly teary, he then pouted his lips making is bottom lip stick out and tremble a little. Noticing Kaname resolved ways wavering he gaze deeply into Kaname eyes for a few seconds then said the word "please" in a really cute begging voice.

Kaname was finding it really hard to resist Zero look but as soon as his beloved said the word "please" in that tone, Kaname was willing to give Zero anything he wanted, he was being unbearable cute and his heart didn't want to crush that slightly hopeful look the boy's teary lilac eyes. Kaname sighed before saying "fine, but you going to be the one to tell Kaien you're not wearing it."

Zero gave Kaname the most breath taking smile he had ever seen; Zero eyes were practically shining. "thank you Kaname!" Zero processed in hugging Kaname and giving him a chase kiss on the lips. Kaname was surprised at first but quickly recovered he was about to deepen the kiss when Zero pulled away.

"You better go and get changed now, I'll meet you in the kitchen when I'm done" Zero gave Kaname a cheeky smile and disappeared from him room. He was mentally congratulating himself at getting what he wanted, now he just had to convince his mum that his didn't need that irritating sling.

Kaname was shock at the change in Zero mood before shrugging it off, he smiles to himself. He was probably just happy because he didn't have to wear is sling anymore, but I forgot to tell him he'll have to take some more of my blood later tonight. He then headed to the Moon dorms to change.

Kaname had changed his clothes and was now on route to the kitchen in the chairman's house. He had just walked into the kitchen door when he witnessed the last of Zero conversation with Kaien. The hunter was using the same 'puppy dog' look he used on Kaname earlier.

Kaien sighed at Zero before saying "Okay Zero, you don't have to wear the sling, but if its starts hurting more again, than you have to put the sling back on. Also you need to keep taking Kaname's blood."

Zero smile wavered as Kaien mention blood, but if it meant he could get the sling off quicker than it was the price he would have to pay. Zero saw Kaname and changed the subject, hoping Kaname didn't hear about him taking more blood.

"Are you ready to go now? Or would you like something to eat before we leave?"

"it's quite alright Zero, I had a quick snack at the Moon dorms, so we can leave now if both of you are ready."

"we're ready now. I'll just grab my keys and we can go." Kaien went off to find his keys.

At the hospital

Zero was sitting in the waiting room with apprehension, he wasn't sure how much damage have been done by not taking his tablets. Kaname wanted to provide his beloved with comforting words but wasn't sure if it would make the hunter feel worst about the situation so he remanded in silent and instead interlace his fingers in Zero's. Zero smiled at Kaname and was about to speak to said pureblood when he heard his name being called so they stood up and made their way into the doctor's office.

They had all taken sits in the doctor room (Zero sitting closest to the doctor followed by Kaname sitting next to him and Kaien next to the pureblood). The doctor himself was a middle aged man with short black hair, brown eyes and an athletic body type. Once they were all seated the doctor and the doctor had greeted them he then turned his attention to Zero.

"How have you been feeling lately Zero? Kaien has informed me that you haven't been taken your medication recently, you do remember the effects of not taken them will do to you?" the doctor said in a concerned voice while looking at Zero medical history on his laptop.

Zero felt guilty for forgetting such an important thing, with a bit of embarrassment he told the doctor exactly how he has been feeling as of late. "I've been having really bad mood swing and have been getting dizzy spells from time to time."

The doctor look even more concern when Zero said this, he quickly typed some notes onto Zero medical record once he had finished typing he took out a Sphygmomanometer and a stethoscope.

"I'm going to take your blood pressure and check your heart beat can you remove your jacket for me?"

Zero removed his jacket wordlessly and waited for the doctor to proceed. Once the doctor had finished he went back to his laptop and started typing again, Kaien had started to become inpatient from the late of information being given and decided to ask the doctor questions.

"It hasn't effected Zero in anyway by not taken is medication has it? He is going to be okay isn't he?"

The doctor looked up at Kaien from his laptop and provided Kaien with some answers. "Zero's blood pressure is a bit higher than usual but apart for that everything looks okay. I'll giving Zero a hormone injection to help stabilise his mood swing and a perception for his usual tablets, I can't state enough how serious it is for Zero to be taking is tablets daily. I'm also going to have Zero have a blood test just to cheek his haemoglobin levels and to make sure nothing else is wrong, although the pill will take effect and levelled out your hormones in a few days."

Zero blood drained from his face when he heard the words blood test, if there was one thing Zero hated it was defiantly blood test, the doctor turned and got a needle ready as Zero was trying to relax his body. Saw the colour drain from his boyfriends face but couldn't do anything to help the boy as he himself had to look the other way to prevent himself for seeing his beloved blood. The doctor took the Zero blood and then called a nurse to run the test while he gave Zero shoulder a quick look.

"Your shoulder also appears to be healing nicely just make sure to rest it and don't over stress yourself." Just as the doctor finished saying this to Zero the nurse returned with Zero blood test results.

"Your blood test results also appear to be perfectly normal as for your blood pressure being slightly high could be down to stress so for the time being please try and relax and not stress yourself out." The doctor put down the paper containing Zero's blood test results and looked directly at Zero then said in a serious voice "you got lucky this time Zero make sure you don't forget to take your tablets again next time otherwise you might end up damaging your body."

Zero looked down at his lap, he was ashamed of himself for not taking his pills. Kaname saw Zero was becoming more depressed by the second and saw the badly hidden shame in the boy lilac eyes, wanting to provide Zero with some support Kaname grasped hold of Zero hand a gave it a light squeeze, which made Zero jump at first then look towards the pureblood and gave a small smile as thanks.

The doctor and Kaien shared a smile at the boy's affection, then the doctor cleared him throat gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "I'll give you your injection now and then you can leave, remember to get you pills straight away."

Zero nodded and waited for the doctor to given him his injection. Once the injection was taken care off they thanked the doctor and went on their way to the pharmacy to get his pills.

Once outside the doctor Kaname interlock his fingers with Zero's and continued to walk hand-in-hand. Kaname turned to Zero and saw that the boy looked a lot better already and his colour had returned to his face. "How are you feeling now Zero?"

Zero looked towards Kaname and noticed Kaien was watching them from the corner of his eye, to which made him smile mum has always been watching me from the side-lines and wishing for my happiness. "I'm fine thanks. Sorry for dragging you along you probably had other things you waited to do".

Kaname frown at that, he didn't understand why Zero always feels like he is burdening everyone. "don't be ridiculous Zero there is nowhere else I'd rather be than with you, especial now I want to support you".

Warmth spread it was through Zero body after hearing Kaname confession. Kaname seem to always know what to say to make him have more self-worth. He's a very smooth talker that's for sure, I'm going to have to be careful otherwise I'll end up agreeing to everything he says. Zero thought with to himself he laughs internally at him inner mussing.

"How about we get some lunch before we head back?" Kaien said snapping Zero out of his thoughts and focusing his attention on his mother before he took out he phone to see what the time was, noticing that it was around the time he would be having lunch if he was at school he agreed to Kaien's suggestion

They were half way through their food when Kaien decided to start a convocation to snap the too vampires out of their little bubble they have created. Kaname was openly gazing lovingly at Zero while said boy was trying his hardest not to blush and was looking anywhere else but from the pureblood.

"Zero, I forgot to I entered you in a competition"

Zero jumped hearing his name being said, Kaien's continued talking but before he could even process the words being spoken to him Kaname had already asked a question. "What kind of completion have you entered him in? Zero is still recovering so I hope in nothing too serious as I don't what Zero getting hurt anymore then need be" Kaname said concern in his voice and Wine eyes.

"Not to worry Kaname, the competition isn't until a few weeks' time and he will be fully recovered by then." Kaien said in his usual hyper tone.

Zero who had now processed what was being said was annoyed at the two talking as if he wasn't here, so he decided to add his opinion to the matter. "You two do realise I sitting RIGHT here. I don't need either of you making decided on my behalf. Now that I've got that message across can you tell me what you have entered me in." Zero glared at both of them making sure they got his point before looking at Kaien and waiting for him to reply.

"Don't be so grumpy Zero, you'll like what I've entered you in – "Kaien took out a leaflet out from his pocket unfolded it and handed it to Zero "- I know how much While Lily means to you and I'm well aware of how strong the bond is between you two so I thought I would enter you in a show jumping competition, I know how much you love riding and thought it would be something to take you mind of off things and give you something to look forward to".

Zero was surprised but nevertheless thankful to his mother, Kaien had always had little ways of letting Zero know much he paid attention to him, his hobbies and his life in general. Zero read the leaflet before looking at his mother and letting a small smile fall upon his lips. It really meant a lot to Zero to know that is mother was trying to help him feel happier with his life.

"Thanks, I think this will be something I need at the moment…. Something I can work towards. I'm sure Lily will enjoy it too. She must feel neglected I haven't put in a show with her for ages it'll take me a while to get her in tiptop shape for an event like this."

Kaname who had been reading the leaflet from next to Zero had thought it was a rather fitting idea, he too had known of Zero legendry horse, no one but Zero can go near the horse without either being bitten or getting kicked.

"I think it's a splendid idea although I only have limited knowledge on horses I'll help you with getting whatever you need for the event. We can go shopping for new horse riding equipment and showing clothes for yourself Zero." Kaname said he was eager to get involved with the event and helping Zero in anyway.

Zero felt incredibly lucky to have both his mother and Kaname but was starting to feel uncomfortable from all the attention quickly tried to change the subject. "um yeah maybe we can another day Kaname? We best finish our food before get gets cold and we still need to go and pick up my tablets." Zero then processed to eat his food emphasising his point and avoid the others eyes.

Kaname and Kaien shared a knowing look between them before continuing with their meals.

After their meal they went to pick up Zero's tablets up before returning to the car and going back to the academy. The journey back many consisted of Zero telling Kaname to attend to the remaining lessons of the night class.

When they reached the ground of the academy Zero had successfully convinced Kaname to attend night class as he wasn't taking a 'no' for an answer. Getting out of the car Kaname walk to Zero and took him into his arms giving Zero a gentle longing kiss goodbye before giving a nod in Kaien direction and another quick kiss to Zero smiling as his watch Zero's cheeks colour; he then processed to say a soft "goodnight" before turning and heading towards the moon dorm to change into his night class uniform and heading to class.

Zero watch as Kaname walked off to the moon dorms, he brought a hand to his month a traced his lips still feeling the lingering warmth from the kiss they shared.

Kaien come to where Zero was standing a place a hand of Zero head ruffling his hair which resulted in a pouting Zero and having his hand push away from the boy hair. Zero look towards he's mother's eyes waiting for an explanation for getting his hair messed up. Kaien smile at his son before pulling him into a hug and whispering into the younger ears "I told you things would get better didn't I? The universe has a way of sorting things out."

Zero returned the hug, after a few second he replied to his mother in a sarcastic tone saying "I guess mother's really do know best" before walking off into Kaien house. Kaien in turn smile at his son's resort before going to join him inside.

I'm so sorry for the late update. I had a major writer's block even though I had a plot I was still finding it hard to put it into words (has anyone else had that problem or is it just me?). Anyway thanks for reading as usual as well as for those who have favorited/ followed and reviewed.
