A/N: THE FINAL CHAPTER. AHHHHHHH! ARE YOU EXCITED? GOOD! WHOEVER BET THAT EVERYONE WAS GONNA DIE OWES ME MONEY.

The sound of loud, animated laughter assaulted his ears, and he squeezed his eyes before easing them open. It was bright daylight outside, and he was relieved someone had the good sense to keep the curtains drawn, because even this muted lighting was killing his eyes. He looked at his surroundings and noted he was in some sort of infirmary. He made a note that he wasn't able to move his limbs, and that pissed him off. A pureblood, incapacitated? Who ever heard of such a thing?

Shizuka, he mused to himself, managing a chuckle as he reminisced the gruesome memory.

He slightly jumped when he heard the door open, a small smile coming to his face when he saw Yuki enter the room. She had a first aid kit in hand, along with some cleaning supplies and a small, lovely arrangement of flowers. He watched her in amusement as she bustled about the room, tidying things here, dusting things there. She went to the window and drew back the curtain furthest from him, removing a pot of wilting flowers and replacing them with the new ones. She set the dead plants aside, no doubt intended to use them for mulch, and picked up her first aid to move towards his bed.

When she saw him gazing at her, the look on her face was priceless as she dropped everything and clasped her hands over her mouth.

"KANAME!" she screamed, jumping up and down with spontaneous tears in her eyes before she bounded out of the room, slamming the door open. As the poor door swung ajar, he could hear her screaming his name over and over again. Before he knew it, the room was filled with the entire Night Class, along with Kaien and Toga.

"Lord Kaname!" Ruka sobbed, grabbing his hand as gently as she could. That's when he noticed he was bandaged, seemingly from head to toe.

"It's a miracle!" Aidou shouted to the heavens.

"It's so good to see you, man," Kain said, looking emotional like he'd never seen before.

"We didn't think you were gonna make it," Ichijou chuckled nervously.

"I never doubted you for a second," Shiki murmured.

"Oh, please. You were stress eating the entire time," Rima said with a roll of her eyes. "B-but . . . so was I," she added with a blush.

Kaname couldn't help the chuckle that bubbled out of him. "Guys, please. It's not that serious. I was only taking a cat nap," he joked. When everyone's faces fell and they exchanged looks with each other, his chuckle died out as well. "Did I say something wrong?"

"Kaname," Kaien said, his face drawn with worry. "You were in a coma for three months."

"What?" he chuckled, stifling his astonishment perfectly.

"Don't you remember what happened?" Toga asked in disbelief.

"I remember exactly what happened," he scoffed. "The ten of us hunted down that bitch, Mstislav. I wrecked her ass and buried her in the ground to live in agony for all eternity, and-" His eyes widened as he shot upright in bed, the motion making his entire body scream in pain . "-ZERO!"

"Kaname, please!" Yuki said, forcing him back down. "Zero is perfectly fine . . . in fact . . . you saved him, and then he saved us."

Kaname looked at Yuki and grabbed her suddenly. "Oh God. The Level Es! They took you! And, and-" he looked to the others in panic. "What happened to the rest of you?"

"Nothing really," Aidou said with a nonchalant shrug. Apparently, after we each completed our trials, Mstislav placed us all under a pseudo-cryogenic state."

"We all turned to ice, and our hearts and minds stopped working," Kaien said with a chill. "It was the scariest shit I've ever witnessed. And have happen to me, at that."

"Yeah, but Yuki's stretching it a bit when she says you 'saved' Zero," Aidou hissed, to which Yuki glared at him.

"He did save Zero . . . I don't like how it happened anymore than anyone else does, but he repaid his debt, don't you think?"

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Kaname growled, becoming annoyed with their bickering. Everyone exchanged another uncomfortable look before Yuki went to sit on the bed.

"Zero . . . had lapsed to Level E when you found him," Yuki said, seeing his face transform with an unreadable emotion. "When Zero revived us, he was on the brink of death and didn't remember anyone but you. In fact, he just regained his complete memories about two months ago."

"He said that being a Level E, he couldn't comprehend anything," Kain added. "He was submerged in an impenetrable darkness that he couldn't recover from. But the one thing he remembered in that state, is that you're the one who freed him, and that you sacrificed yourself to him."

"That's crazy," Kaname tsk, shaking his head in amusement, but Yuki could see he was devastated. She gently touched his hand.

"If you're upset about it, it's okay," she said, but he removed his hand and folded his arms, ignoring the pain in his body, which he now knew had been inflicted by Zero.

"How did he save us?" he asked sardonically.

"Well . . . I'm not entirely sure," Aidou said, scratching his head. "He used some sort of supernatural healing he shouldn't be capable of-"

"Basically, vampire-fueled flower power," Toga drawled, to which Aidou shot a glare at him. "Something about combining your blood with Yuki's, and the natural healing properties of the plants he manipulates from Bloody Rose."

"Interesting," he said, running the tip of his tongue over his fangs. "And where is the bastard?"

"Kaname!" Yuki censured.

"On the roof of the Day Dorm," Rima supplied, and Yuki shot her a dirty look, startling when Kaname suddenly threw the blankets off of himself and kicked his legs off the bed.

"Kaname! You're not well yet! I have to change your bandages," she cried, but he simply shoved through the lot of them and stormed out of the room, ignoring the protests of his body.

Zero sat on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying the gentle breeze as he watched the cloudless sky. So much had happened in such a short period of time.

Apparently, after he'd passed out beside Kaname in that desert, everyone had revived and carried their bodies back to campus. He'd recovered in three days of being well fed and cared for, but he still hadn't known where he was, or who his rescuers were. He felt feral, alone and defenseless. Moreover, they wouldn't let him see Kaname, who was the only one who could make him feel better.

They spent weeks rehabilitating him, some more frustrated with him than others, but he knew they all meant well. Eventually, Yuki had to use her influence to piece back the broken shards of his memories, and recalling every single moment of his life - the good, bad and ugly - all at once, was very painful, to say the least.

When he was fully recovered, they still wouldn't let him see Kaname. But he supposed he couldn't blame them. Mstislav had tortured him so badly, he figured lapsing to Level E was the greatest escape he was going to get. If only he had had more faith in Kaname, he wouldn't have literally mauled him to death when he finally came to rescue him.

And now, there was a chance he was never going to wake up, and it was all his fault. He would cry, if he had any tears left, but he'd spent the last two months of consciousness doing that. All that was left was the irreversible pain in his heart . . .

"There's a sight for sore eyes," that familiar baritone said behind him, and his eyes widened to saucers as he spun around, nearly falling off the roof, to see Kaname standing in the doorway.

"Kaname!" he cried, scrambling off the ledge and cautiously making his way toward him. "I . . . I can't believe you're awake!"

"How could you? You weren't there," he drawled, and Zero paused in his tracks, realizing the playfulness of his tone was fake as his wine colored eyes blazed with rage.

"Kaname, I wanted to see you," he said, his brows furrowing with pain. "They wouldn't let me near you at all. It was to protect you-"

"From what?" he growled, starting to making his way toward him. Zero immediately started to step back. "If I wanted to be protected, I wouldn't have fucking sacrificed myself to you."

Zero couldn't help the blush that came to his cheeks. Kaname did sacrifice himself . . . more times than just this once.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"That's not what I want to hear from you," he growled lowly, effectively trapping the hunter against the ledge.

Zero's heart pounded uncontrollably as he forced himself to look into the pureblood's eyes.

"I don't think you're in any condition to-"

"What? Pin you beneath me?" he rasped, suddenly grabbing his hand with impressive strength. Even so, the pureblood was trembling.

"Kaname, stop," Zero gasped, his face growing darker at the other's implication. "You're still hurt . . ."

"Then take me to your bedroom so that I can dominate you easier," he hissed in his ear, causing Zero to shudder.

"F-Fine," he said, gently pushing Kaname aside and gently leading him off the roof. When they arrived to his room, Zero slowly closed the door before watching Kaname flop onto his bed.

"FUCK, I'm sore!" he growled, baring his fangs. Zero continued to stand at the door, looking guilty as the pureblood shot him a look. "Well? Bring your ass over here."

He slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the pureblood glaring at him. "Are you angry at me?"

"Is that not obvious?" he said gently, and Zero frowned. "I could give a damn about the mauling, Zero. You have something to say to me."

"I-I'm sorry?" he offered, jumping when Kaname sat up suddenly until they were nose to nose.

"What did you say to me last time we were in this room together?" he said lowly, his voice causing something dark to pool in Zero's stomach.

"I . . . I-"

"Don't you dare say you don't remember," he growled, his eyes flickering. "The other's told me you regained your memory two months ago. All of them."

His lips were so close to touching Zero's, it was making the hunter dizzy. Then the moment he was talking about slammed into him like a freight train, causing his face to go up in flames.

"Lemme change your bandages-" he suddenly said, making to stand, but Kaname grabbed him back.

"No more games, Zero," Kaname said, his expression longing. "I'm home now, and you know how I feel about you."

Zero looked away in panic, but Kaname's grip was relentless.

"If you can't say it, bite me."

Zero's eyes flew to Kaname's, watching the red orbs dance with amusement and desire.

"Bite me, right here," he said, stroking the side of his bandaged neck, "and I'll finally make you mine."

Zero's eyes widened at the promise, his heart seeming to suspend.

His whole life flashed before his eyes, and suddenly, all he saw was Kaname. Kaname taunting him, teasing him, pretending to hate and use him, all the time silently hoping for him to notice how much he loved him. He remembered the ache Kaname felt in those last moments of his life, thinking that he would never get to spend eternity with him. And he realized . . .

That's exactly what he wanted. And this was his moment.

He slowly sat back on the bed, leaning over and pressing his lips the the pureblood's neck. When he shuddered, he hesitated.

"Kaname, you're still hurt."

"I don't give a damn. Don't make me wait, Zero."

Zero squeezed his eyes shut, hating to hurt him any further, but before his fangs could touch the bandages, he was suddenly being flipped onto his back and pinned down.

"You must have forgotten," he said, holding the hunter's hands above his head. "I told you when you drank from my neck again, it would be in the most submissive position possible."

"Kaname!" Zero growled halfheartedly. The pureblood smirked as he brought his mouth down on the other's. It was a fiery, impassioned kiss, not nearly as gentle as it should be in Kaname's condition. Zero kissed him back without hesitation, their tongue's clashing together and their fangs narrowly missing knocking together.

"Fuck . . . I wanted to torture you a bit," Kaname panted, kissing his neck, sucking the sensitive flesh until Zero moaned. "No . . . I won't last against that voice."

"W-wait!" Zero gasped as Kaname ripped his shirt open. "We . . . don't have to-" he cried out as Kaname latched onto a nipple.

"They taste just as sweet as I dreamed they would," he said, slurping the hard pink buds. He pinched the flesh between his fingers, and Zero jerked, writhing beneath him. "You're so lucky you fucked me up like this," he growled, starting a trail of hot, hungry kisses down his hard abdomen.

"Kaname . . . please stop . . . " Zero said breathlessly, his traitorous hips lifting as Kaname sucked the skin of his pelvic bone.

"I wont heal until I devour you," he growled, not bothering to undo the hunter's pants as he roughly dragged them off his hips. Zero attempted to back away, but Kaname dragged him back by his hips. "You know what the best part of this is, Zero?"

"Wait," he whispered, bracing his hands against the other's shoulders.

"When you revived us with your blood? I saw every fantasy you've ever had about me," he whispered, causing the hunter's eyes to bulge.

"You didn't!" he cried, to which Kaname chuckled sadistically.

"I know you want me to touch you like this," he said, staring deep in his eyes as he massaged his balls very slowly in his hand. An involuntary moan stuttered out of him, Kaname's eyes widening ever so slightly. "You cry just like that in your dreams . . . but its so much hotter in person," he grinned before slowly going down on the hunter.

Zero's mind turned to mush, his hands diving into Kaname's wild curls in tight fists. His mouth was so warm and wet, his fantasies could never. His hips jerked with every masterful suck, his body burning with sensory overload as Kaname pinched and tweaking his nipple. He almost protested when Kaname removed his mouth, only for his eyes to widen when he felt a wet digit prodding his ass.

"Your fantasies weren't specific, so I think I'll eat you here, too," Kaname said, and before Zero could form a thought, Kaname pressed his legs up and back.

"Wa . . . it, Kaname," Zero cried, already a complete wreck.

"If you don't like this, I'll stop," he replied, plunging his tongue inside him. Zero cried out, his cock twitching with every stroke of his tongue. He clawed at the hands that pinned his legs back, completely forgetting Kaname's injuries. Kaname drew away with a sloppy slurp, immediately replacing his tongue with his finger as he stared down at Zero's tear stricken face smugly. He stuck his finger deep, stroking that magical spot that made Zero sing out as he came all over his own chest.

Zero groaned as he introduced a second finger, but whether he was begging for mercy or asking for more, he couldn't really tell.

"Should I stop, Zero?" he asked darkly, licking his secretions from his chest. Zero only moaned in response and he chuckled, though he was far from amused. "For so many years, I've dreamed of having you this way, Zero . . ." he whispered in his ear, swabbing his tongue inside as he slowly undid his robes. "I love you so much . . . I'm sorry for everything you suffered because of me."

"Kana . . . me," Zero gasped, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and holding him tight. "I . . . I love you!"

"I know," he said, gasping as his throbbing cock slid inside Zero. The hunter yelped and squeezed him tighter, trembling from the pain. "I'm sorry . . . I'm sorry . . . "

"M . . . more," Zero panted in his ear. Kaname growled, pinning the hunter down and beginning to move inside him.

He couldn't believe this was finally happening. He couldn't believe how incredible it felt. Jolts of white hot pleasure fired through him with every thrust, overriding the pain he felt before. He wanted this to last forever, but Zero was on the edge, gripping him so deliciously, he couldn't hold out much longer.

"Bite me now," he growled, and Zero pulled himself up and bit down hard. Kaname unleashed an animalistic roar as he came inside Zero, causing the hunter to come right after.

Zero stopped drinking as Kaname collapsed on his side, completely depleted and satisfied.

"You need to eat," Zero said worriedly, but Kaname merely gave him a lazy, cat-like smile as he dragged him down to rest his head on his chest.

"I'll have my seconds when I'm ready for it," he growled lovingly, and Zero rolled his eyes, a delighted blush on his face.

"I love you, Kaname," he whispered, and Kaname grinned like a victorious lovestruck fool, kissing the crown of his beloved hunter's head.

Fin.
