Chapter 1: First Impressions
It was September first and move in day at Cross University. The parking lot was full of parents helping their kids move their bins to their residence hall. A red Ducati wove its way slowly around the parking lot avoiding people and cars till it pulled into space at the far end of the lot. The rider took the key out of the ignition and got off the bike. He pulled the red and white striped helmet from his head and shook out his brown hair. This was going to be interesting he thought as he took his one bag and slung it over his shoulder before starting off to the check-in. As the brunette walked through the mass of people his eyes were drawn to two silver haired boys arguing by a car. It was apparent that they were twins because they were identical except for the hair. One had long hair pulled back into a ponytail while the other had shaggy locks that hung about his eyes. Then he spotted that the shot haired boy had numerous piercings in his ears. That's hot. The brunette thought to himself as he continued on.
He walked into the room they were having check. "Here fill these out!" a perky little brown haired girl smiled as she handed him a pack of papers.
"Thanks." He said and gave her a dazzling smile before he took a seat and filled out the paper. Then he went to the table labeled Moon Dorm to get his keys.
"I'll take the papers and can I have your name and room number please." The blond boy at the table asked.
"Kaname Kuran. Room 432." The brunette said.
"Okay…" the blond flipped through little packets of keys till he pulled out the right one. He dumped them into his hand looked at the numbers inscribed on them, wrote it on a paper Kaname had filled out. "Here you go. And I need you to sign here." The boy handed over the keys and indicated a spot on the paper for Kaname's signature.
"Is that all I need to do?"
"Yes. You can go move into your room."
"Could you tell me if my roommate has moved in yet?" Kaname was curious because he had not spoken to his roommate, Zero Kiryu, since he had first found out who he would be rooming with.
"Um…" the blond looked at the keys. "It looks like it cause I don't see another set for 432."
"Thank you…" Kaname smiled.
"Matt." The blond blushed under Kaname's attention.
"Thank you Matt." Kaname purred before turning and walking off. Now that it was time for him to meet his roommate the normally confident Kaname felt a little afraid of what he would find in his room.
It was only a short walk across campus to the Moon Dorms. When Kaname walked in there were so many people waiting for the elevator that he opted for the staircase. After taking the stairs two at a time he arrived on the fourth floor hardly out of breath. Stealing himself he ran a pale hand through his chocolate locks and walked toward 432. Taking a deep breath Kaname turned the knob and walked in.
He stood stunned in the door because there reclining on the bed by the window was the silver haired boy with the pierced ears. He looked up from his book and Kaname drank in his amazing lilac eyes. Gathering himself Kaname stepped in and closed the door. "Hey." He said as he tossed his bag on the empty bed by the door.
"Hey. I guess you're Kaname?" That face… where had he seen it before?
"And I guess you're Zero." Kaname smiled. It would be just his luck to get such a good looking roommate. Apparently this year was going to be hell when he was in the room. Good thing I'll be out a lot or else I'd end up jumping my roommate in the first week. Kaname thought bitterly to himself.
"Well it's good to meet you seeing as you only called once." Zero sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. His tone was angry but his eyes sparked with unshed laughs. This is going to be a very good year. Zero thought as he looked Kaname over and liked what he saw.
"I'm a busy person sorry." Kaname's mouth twisted into a flirtatious smile. Then he spun to his bag wiping the smile from his face. Stop trying to flirt with him! You've just met him face to face for the first time and you're already trying to get into his pants. Kaname berated himself. He unzipped his bag and pulled out two pair of jeans and two black shirts. "Is this my dresser?" Kaname asked gesturing to the dresser across from the empty desk.
"Ya. If that's cool." Zero shrugged. "I hope you don't mind I took the window bed…" for some reason Zero didn't want to make Kaname angry and he was willing to move beds if the handsome boy wanted the one he had.
"It's cool." Kaname pulled open the top draw and laid his clothes neatly in it. "And I'm not a huge fan of sunlight so I'm quite happy with my bed being away from the windows." Kaname too two steps back to the bed to pull out two pairs of black silk boxers before he put them in the drawer but not before Zero had seen them. Man I wonder what he would look like with just those boxers on? Damn it Zero stop it or you're going to have a problem real soon. The silver haired boy shook his head. Kaname caught the movement out of the corner of his eye as he pulled his MacBook pro out of his bag. As soon as he had set it on the desk he turned to his roommate having seen something he had missed earlier that was ever so attractive. "Nice tattoo."
"Oh…" Zero's hand slid to the left side of his neck and over the tattoo. "Thanks." He managed a small smile. "Nice computer."
"Thanks." Kaname pulled the MacBook open and turned it on. "So… I saw you in the parking lot as I was walking to check in. It's pretty cool you have a twin."
"Oh ya I guess it's okay. Ichiru can be chill sometimes." Is that a good thing that he picked you out in the parking lot and was looking at you? Zero smiled inwardly. "And I think I saw you in the parking lot. You were the one that came in on the red Ducati." Zero quirked a smile. He had seen Kaname weave his way around the traffic it had been mostly because of the nice bike but now that he knew who drove it. Damn this guy just keeps getting hotter.
"Ya. I travel everywhere on my bike."
"It's a nice bike."
"Thanks. Maybe I could give you a ride sometime." Kaname tried to keep the double meaning out of his words.
"I'd like that." Zero on the other hand did not. He figured if Kaname wasn't gay and he screwed this up he had another week to change his room.
"I'll remember that." Kaname sat down at the desk and opened the internet.
Zero wanted to keep talking but it seemed that Kaname was done for now. With a sigh zero went back to reclining on the bed and he flipped his book open again. Kaname flipped through a few business emails and he wanted to punch someone because it looked like he was going to have to go into the office today. He just wanted to chill in the dorm with his roommate. Zero sat back up on the bed finding something to talk about. "Is that all you brought?" he looked at the nearly empty duffel bag Kaname had brought in. Kaname looked at it too.
"Yup. I probably won't be here much with work and all. So I figured I didn't need to bring much. Plus if I really need anything I can always go to my penthouse." Kaname shrugged.
"Penthouse?" Zero chocked out the word. Kaname couldn't be serious! He had just casually thrown out the fact he lived in a penthouse!
"Yes. Is there something wrong with that?" a wave of uncertainty washed over him. Had he said something wrong? Or did he offend Zero?
"No. It's just… well… wow." Zero ran a hand through his hair. "So that means you live in the city."
"Yes. In New York. It's the best place to live. Plus it's close to my job."
"That's cool. So if you're so close why live on campus if you have a penthouse? You could hop the train or take your bike."
"I just wanted to live on campus to be able to get the full college experience. And I would never take the train." Kaname suppressed a shiver at the thought of taking the train.
"What's wrong about the train? It's how I'll be getting home." Zero felt a little stupid for admitting that e didn't have a car. And was Kaname stuck up? Zero bit his lip as he looked at his roommate in his nice clothes with his MacBook and he had a Ducati. Clearly his parents had money.
"I don't know… I just like my bike a whole lot more."
"Why not just go to school in the city?"
"I don't know. Just thought I'd try a change of scenery."
"Fair enough." Zero felt a little better about having said he would be taking the train home.
"I'm really sorry. I would love to stay and hang out with you today. But it looks like I have to go into work for a few hours today." Kaname stood.
"Oh it's all good man. Just as long as we get to talk later." Zero felt his face heat up a little bit. Now he's going to think you're a freaking girl or something for wanting to talk!
"I should be back this evening." Kaname pulled out a leather messenger bag that he slid his MacBook into it.
"Cool."
"Later." Kaname smiled over his shoulder at Zero before he grabbed his helmet and went to open the door. Then something occurred to him. "Hey is the number I have your cell or home?" Kaname turned to the silverette.
"That was my home. You need my cell?" Zero tried not to sound so happy that Kaname was asking for his number.
"That would be fantastic." Kaname flashed another dazzling smile. Zero rattled off the ten digits and Kaname punched them into his iPhone. "Thanks. I'll text you so you have my number."
"Sweet."
"See you later, Zero." Kaname let the boy's name roll of his tongue and he liked the way it felt to say it.
After Kaname had closed the door Zero lay back on his bed. Everything about his new roommate was just hot. And the way he had said his name… Zero felt his heart rate increase as he let his mind wander to his new roommate. Never had he expected such a hot roommate. Damnit! Zero thought as he felt his pants tighten. This was going to be one hell of a difficult year. He thought as his hand unbuttoned his jeans and pulled the zipper down to give easier access to his hardened member. His movements were slow at first then they began to quicken as he thought of Kaname and what he would look like shirtless. Zero groaned as a beautiful mental image was formed. As Zero stroked himself faster he felt his gut begin to tighten and he knew he was getting close so his mind reached out for something that would push him over the edge. An image of Kaname naked and came to the silverette's mind right away and Zero quivered with release. Damn this is going to be a long year if I have to jack off every time Kaname says my name. Zero thought as he got off his bed and walked to the bathroom to clean up. It would soon be apparent for both guys in the dorm that having a private bathroom was a bonus.
* * *
Kaname maneuvered his bike around traffic at an almost dangerous speed. All he wanted to do was go in and get business out of the way so he could get back to the dorm and talk to Zero. He already felt a soft spot for the boy forming within him and he was sure that after talking to him it would only grow larger. Working and going to school was going to be a major pain because nights would be the only time he had free and night time was when humans normally slept and he didn't know when Zero went to bed. I hope he's like most college students and stays up half the night .Then we'll be able to chill and get to know each other. Kaname smiled into his helmet at the idea of getting to know Zero. Perhaps this year could turn into the best yet. Kaname slowed to pay the toll for the Holland Tunnel then he took off at a break neck speed to get through the tunnel as soon as he could because he hated the tunnel. But it was the fastest way to the agency.
Once in the city the brunette had to watch his speed and where he was turning because he didn't want to get hit by one of those annoying Taxis. Soon Kaname was pulling into the multi decker parking lot for his building. Pulling into his reserved space Kaname cut the engine and got off the bike pulling his helmet off and hanging it on the handle bar. Then he went over to door that took him into the elegant office building of Night Modeling. As he walked toward his office people smiled and said polite greeting to him. Kaname smiled back and nodded at them as he walked past. "Kuran-Sempi."
"Luka." Kaname nodded to his secretary. "Can you please let Kain and Aidou know that I am here and in my office."
"Of course. Would you like me to send them in as soon as they arrive."
"Yes please." Kaname said before going into his spacious office. His office was presently flooded with sunlight from the two walls of floor to ceiling windows. Although there was a lot of light it was muted by the UV protected windows that were also tinted so that most of the light was kept out. But having two full walls of windows still provided more than enough light which sometimes irritated Kaname.
With a sigh Kaname pulled out his MacBook and sat at his desk. It only took Kain and Aidou a few minutes to get to his office. When they entered Kaname looked up from his computer screen. "Kaname-Sama." Aidou bowed fervently. "How was moving into your dorm?"
"It was interesting. Thank you for asking Aidou." Kaname smiled at the blond. "So what is it that you two dragged me from my dorm for?" A perfect eyebrow quirked at the cousins.
"We just got word back from Maria that we have booked for our next show." Kain said running a hand through his ginger hair.
"Okay. Ant why could I not be told this over the phone?" Kaname tried to keep most of his irritation from his voice.
"Because we have also received a list of applicants who wish to be in the show and we wanted to give you the files."
"Could you not email them or something. I really just wanted to spend the day as a normal college student." Kaname practically whined.
"We could have. But it would have taken so long." Aidou said. "There are a lot that wish to be part of the fastest growing agency and want to be associated with you Kaname-Sama."
"I see. So…" Kaname gestured with his hand absently.
"We assembled them all onto these two flash drives." Aidou pulled out the two tiny drives from his pocket. "We figured that you would want to go through them first."
"Ah. Thank you." Kaname took the offered drives. "I'll just put them on now so you two can take a look at them as well." Kaname plugged them in and started transferring the files.
"And I don't mean to sound offensive or anything Kaname-Sama but you could never be a normal college student."
"Aidou." Kain said under his breath as if to warn his cousin not to continue to speak.
"First off you are the owner of Night Modeling which puts you above all other college students and you are older than them all."
"Aidou." Kain hissed.
"Besides you're a pureblood which makes you even better!" Aidou beamed at his boss. Kaname's face was blank for a second then he burst out laughing. Crimson flushed Aidou's cheeks.
"Oh Aidou maybe you should go to college it's quite the place to checkout humans." Kaname kicked his feet up on his desk signaling to his friends that their meeting had lost formality. Aidou and Kain took the seats that were in front of Kaname's desk. "So I'm thinking of cutting back my hours I'll be putting in here since I'm a college student and all now."
"What?" Aidou looked devastated at this.
"I think it would be wise of me to spend more time on campus…" Kaname's face broke out into a smile.
"Oh? And that would have to do with academics correct? And not some nice piece of ass that you're after?" Kain jabbed at his long time friend.
"For academics of course." Kaname said sarcastically.
"Oh and does this piece of ass have a name?"
"Indeed." Kaname pulled out the flash drives and tossed them back to Aidou as he sat dejectedly in his chair. "He also happens to be my roommate, Zero Kiryu." Kaname relished Zero's name with attention as he let it roll off his tongue.
"Zero… that's an odd name… I think he applied for the show…" Aidou said looking at Kaname.
"I think he's right." Kain said. "Because that name sounds familiar…"
"Are you two just joking me?" Kaname pulled his long legs off the desk so he could face his computer properly.
"No joke. Check out the K folder." Aidou said. Kaname quickly went into the folders that he had just put on his computer and clicked into the folder labeled K.
"K-I… K-I…" Kaname murmured as he scrolled down. "Kiryu, Zero." His eyes lit up as he saw the name. "No way is this my roommate… he seemed way to normal to be a model…" Kaname opened the folder and opened the sample pictures the applicant had sent. "Holy fuck!" Kaname nearly drooled as he saw his silver haired roommate posing topless.
"Is it him?" Aidou leapt over the desk so he could look at Kaname's screen.
"Yes! That's him!" Kaname ran his hands through his hair. "Fuck!"
"Is something wrong Kaname-Sama?" Kain's eyes flashed with concern for a second.
"No. but this just makes it all the worse!"
"He is very cute." Aidou said as he watched Kaname flip through the other pictures of Zero.
"Why?" Kain asked.
"Because I have to live with him and see him every second I'm in the dorm! First off that's going to be hard because I find him VERY attractive. And secondly if I hire him… damn that just makes it impossible for me to make a move on the kid."
"You could always not hire him and then make a move. Don't forget it's not that far of a commute to school…" Kain reasoned.
"Ya… but I think I actually like him. I mean he's more than a pretty face this time."
"But he's human Kaname-Sama." Aidou said leaning on the desk.
"I know which makes it all the better because he won't be groveling at my feet." Kaname felt like he was literally between a rock and a hard place.
"You'll do the right thing. You always do." Kain pointed out.
"Sure. Sure." Kaname replied absently mindedly.
"We've got to get back to work. I think Luka has some paper work for you. I'll let her know on the way out that she can bring it in." Kain stood.
"Would you just ask her out already." Kaname sigh.
"What do you mean?" Kain's cheeks reddened slightly.
"It's quite apparent that you like her so just make a move already." Kaname goaded.
"I-I don't know what you mean." Kain left quickly as Aidou and Kaname began to laugh.
"He does like her cause when we're at home he never shuts up about her." Aidou said before he too left.
Shaking his head Kaname turned his attention back to the applicants for the fashion show. He had to pick just the perfect ones because after all it was his debut line and choosing the wrong models would ruin the whole show. Luka came in with the folder of papers. "Kain-San said you wanted to look over the paperwork?" She smiled.
"Oh yes. Thank you Luka." Kaname smiled at the thin vampire.
"They are just a few contracts that you need to sign so that we can proceed with your show."
"Perfect!" Kaname's eyes lit up.
After a few hours at the office Kaname decided he wanted to go back to his dorm. It was only seven and the vampires were just starting their day of work. He would be skipping out on most of the work "day" but he just wanted to go back and relax with Zero. Then he realized he had never text Zero so feeling guilty he pulled out his iPhone and pulled up Zero's number.
::Hey it's Kaname. Sorry it took me so long to text. Been busy.:: Kaname held his breath as he waited for a response. He didn't have to wait long till his phone went off.
::It's all good.::
::I'll probably be heading back soon.::
::Cool man. See you in a bit then?::
::Ya. I was thinking of picking up some sushi for dinner. You want some?:: Kaname sent the text. He hoped Zero liked sushi cause it was his favorite thing to eat.
::For real? Sushi is pretty much my favorite thing to eat!:: Kaname wanted to do a little dance for joy when he read the message.
::Awesome! Anything you particularly like and want me to get?::
:: Oshizushi is my favorite but I also like any type of Makizushi.::
::Cool. See you in a bit then.::
::Sweet!::
Kaname closed his laptop and stashed it back in his bag before standing. He walked out past Luka. "I'll see you tomorrow. I'm going back to my dorm to chill out."
"But the days just starting." Luka sounded a bit sad.
"I know but for humans the day is just ending." Kaname smiled at her before he walked back to his bike.
Kaname wanted to stop by his penthouse to grab pajamas before he picked up sushi and headed back to campus. His bike roared under him as he accelerated. All he wanted to do was get back so he could see Zero. Something about that boy was nagging him. And having found out that he was a model and had applied for HIS show made Kaname's heart leap in his chest. Maybe he could turn this to his advantage…
Kaname took the stairs to the fourth floor three at a time stretching his long legs. He stopped outside of his dorm room and took a deep breath. Act calm. Don't flirt with him! Don't FLIRT with HIM! DON'T FLIRT WITH HIM! Kaname told himself before opening the door. Zero was at his desk on the computer and talking on the phone. "No Ichiru I told you it's not like that." Zero growled into the phone and Kaname kicked the door shut. Zero's head snapped over to look at Kaname. "Listen Ichiru I've gotta go my roommate is back.… ya… laters." Zero snapped his cell shut and smiled at Kaname. "You were gone a long time."
"Don't remind me." Kaname rolled his eyes and opened his pack. "Got you your sushi." Kaname handed Zero a carton. And pulled out a second for himself.
"Sweet! Thanks!" Zero's eyes lit up.
"Anytime. So we've got the whole night ahead of us to talk." Kaname Kicked his feet up on to his desk as he pushed his chair back. "What time do you normally go to bed?"
"Late… like two or three…" Zero smiled before taking a bite of sushi.
"Wasn't that a problem in high school?"
"No. I slept in all my classes. It really pissed the teachers of cause I got perfect scores."
"Very nice." Kaname complimented. The fact that Zero stayed up late made Kaname very happy.
"When do you sleep?"
"Oh whenever I have time. usually around dawn is when I consistently get sleep but I nap during the day most of the time."
"Cool. So where do you work in the city?"
Kaname smiled to himself as Zero asked. He couldn't wait to see his face. "Night Modeling." Zero chocked on the bit he had in his mouth. For a split second Kaname hoped he would need mouth to outh then Zero recovered.
"For real?"
"Yes… is there a problem with it?"
"No. it's just I put in an application to try for one of their shows."
"You model?"
"Yup. It's how I'm paying tuition.
"Very clever." Kaname smiled. Oh boy was this going to be fun.
"Ya it's fun too." Then Zero stopped as something clicked in his head and he suddenly realized why Kaname's face was so familiar. Zero blushed fiercely as he remembered the magazine pages he had torn out and stored in a folder that were all of Kaname. The silverette gulped hard as he vividly remembered what he liked to do with those pictures and he had to hunch forward to hide his bodies reaction.
"Indeed." Kaname tried not to laugh as he saw Zero's change of posture and he wished he knew what had set the boy off. Kaname sigh wishing he could help that delicious looking boy with his apparent problem. Maybe another night after all this is the first day I've met the boy and if he's going to be modeling with me then I will get to see all of him soon enough. I just have to be patient. Kaname soothed himself so he would not jump the silver haired boy that instant. All in good time. Kaname smiled.
