Bond of Blood

Ch. 1

Evening. Again, he had to follow Yuuki to keep away the day class from the night class. He was getting tired of it, the same thing, day after day. Every day, he had to watch that arrogant pureblood look at him, as if he was some kind of disease. Kuran Kaname. Thinking of him, as if he was worth nothing. But he, Zero, ignored it, or at least he tried to. Walking along, as the night came crawling, he thought of him. Kaname. He had been on his mind a lot recently, and he couldn't figure out why. He was supposed to hate him, and yet, his hate slowly began to vanish. It was truly driving him crazy, not to mention his dreams. In each and every one of his dreams, Kaname would appear, doing unmentionable things to him, yet he got aroused from this. He had kept it to himself, not wanting anyone to know. People disliked him already, he didn't want to worsen the situation, by letting people know that he felt attracted to Kaname, a vampire, and a male.

Slowly he walked into the wood, it was dark, but he needed some time to think. His urge to see and feel the beautiful pureblood was getting stronger, but he had to endure it. He couldn't let anyone know! Slowly he closed his lilac eyes, leaning against a tree. He slid down, until he was on the ground, it was chilly, his breath looked like a cloud of steam. And yet he sat there on the ground, he could easily get sick, but he didn't care. His confusion was consuming him, as he saw the face of the pureblood appear again and again. Damn! He HAD to see him! He just had to! His heart raced, just by the thought of the pureblood being there.

Suddenly, as though his prayers were answered, the brown-haired beauty kneeled in front of him. Zero slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself with a rising fever. Had he been sleeping? He couldn't remember falling asleep. How long had he been there? He quickly looked up, as he felt a pair of strong arms around him, lifting him from the ground. Kaname, why? Zero wanted to ask him that question, but not a sound escaped his pale lips. Kaname looked down at him, sending him a faint smile "Try to relax… You have a fever, Kiryuu-kun…" Zero was stunned. Kiryuu-kun? He didn't understand, but he decided to do as he was told.

Just a few minutes later, he was placed in his bed. Kaname slowly sat down on the bed, removing Zero's jacket and shirt to cool him down. Since when did Kaname start to care about him? Zero wondered, too weak to resist the pureblood's actions. He wanted Kaname to touch him, but he couldn't bring himself to say that. Kaname looked down at him "Get some rest… I will be very disappointed, if you don't show up on duty tomorrow…" Zero raised an eyebrow, why? He really didn't understand, but before he could even think about answering, his eyelids dropped.

Kaname looked down at him in silence, until he was convinced, that Zero was asleep. Then he slowly bent down, placing a small kiss on the boy's forehead "Goodnight… Zero…" he whispered. With those words hovering in the air, he left the room, letting the white-haired boy sleep.
