Yuuki sat in an empty classroom, sobbing in the dying light.
Zero was so stupid. He always made her feel like a total idiot when she tried to help him. He constantly kept pushing her away, even though she knew he needed her blood.
When did things become so complicated?
She wanted an answer to that question, but she knew the only person qualified to give that answer would just shut the door in her face.
She was sick of staring at the grainy wood. She had traced the pattern with her eyes too many times.
All she wanted was for Zero to let her in his heart so badly, but there was this wall that she could not get over.
She had tried so hard and now, she had given up.
"Fine," she said out loud to herself as if to try and convince herself that she did not care. "Let him keep up the stupid wall. He's not important to me anyway."
She placed her forehead on her knees, tears slipping down her nose.
"I don't love him," she whispered, trying to deny that she did. "And he doesn't love me."
"Who ever said that was true, idiot?"
Yuuki's head flew up and she stared at Zero. He went and kneeled in front of her. He reached out and brushed stray tears from her eyes, then cupped her cheek.
She tried to pull away, but his strong hands wouldn't let her.
"When did I ever say that I didn't love you?" he asked. "Never."
She opened her mouth to reply, but he put a finger to her lips.
"Shhh. Kurosu Yuuki, you are my life. I keep living because of you."
"But – "
"No," he muttered and kissed her urgently on her lips.
She didn't resist and wrapped her arms around his neck, melting into her love's arms.
