Hey people! I'm baaaaaack! I know, I haven't finished my other story, but this one has been saved up for a while so I just had to get it in here. Hope you enjoy!

Kaname Kuran peered out from the alley he'd run into. The three men were looking for him, craning their necks to see over the thick, swarming crowd. His thin-framed glasses caught the light and he was spotted. He gasped and ran out of the alley and across the busy street. His breath came in frozen puffs as he ran down the sidewalk. He smashed into someone, his glasses skidding to the person's feet. Kaname's head snapped up, fear definite in his mahogany eyes. The silver-haired man lightly pushed away the girls by his side and picked up the boy's glasses. Kaname scrambled to his feet, hastily taking his glasses.

He bowed quickly, "Thank you!" the boy ran off and disappeared into the crowd, unaware of the curious pair of lavender eyes.

"Zero? What's wrong, bro?"

"No," Zero shook his head. "Nothing."

Kaname wearily climbed the steps of his house, exhausted and now soaked from the rain. He unlocked the door, quickly making his way through the darkened hallways to his room. He flipped on the light and stripped off his saturated clothes. I should probably go to sleep now. I have school tomorrow.

The next day, the teacher took role call.

"Zorro Karinto?

"Here."

"Saki Keranta?

"Present."

"Zero Kiryuu?"

The class looked at each other, not recognizing the name.

The door slammed open, "Here."

Kaname glanced up and his eyes widened. It was the same silver haired guy as before.

"Late on your first day, Mr. Kiryuu? Not a good first impression. Tuck your shirt in, as well. Where is your tie? This is a school, not a zoo."

Zero sat back in a chair and put his feet on the desk, arms behind his head, "Tch."

The teacher flushed with anger, "I'll let it slide this time since you're new, but next time I won't be so nice."

Zero rolled his eyes and Kaname could almost feel how the other girls, and guys for that matter, were reacting to the silverette. Kaname didn't know much about the other, but he didn't want to get involved with him. Later, Kaname managed to squeeze onto the crowded bus, squished against the door. He froze when he felt an intrusive hand begin to fondle his rear. What…D-Does he think I'm a girl? Kaname gasped as the hand squeezed his ass. Suddenly the hand disappeared.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing, Gramps?"

Kaname looked up to see Zero, a very annoyed Zero, holding a middle aged man's wrist. The man pulled away and managed to slink out of view.

"Uhm, t-thank y-you…"

Zero regarded him through narrowed eyes.

"You. Why didn't you do anything?"

Kaname winced and looked down, "I-I-I'm sorry, K-Kiryuu-kun…"

Zero sighed and ran a hand through his hair, watching the timid brunette with one eye, "Whatever, it's fine," Zero leaned his forearm on the space just above the side of Kaname's head, holding one of the bars with the other hand. "Turn around."

"H-Huh?"

"Turn. Around."

Kaname did as he was told and Zero stepped a bit closer, "If I don't do this, I have a feeling it's gonna happen again."

"B-But-"

"Shut up," Kaname flinched. "Just…watch the scenery or something."

"O-Okay…"

Kaname tried to ignore the subtle smell of soil and flowers that the silverette was emitting. It's just so…comforting… The train jolted and Kaname flew back into Zero's chest. An arm wrapped around him and held him there. Kaname was instantly enveloped in Zero's scent. He unconsciously relaxed into the taller boy's hold, slowly dozing off.

Well? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Your decision! Let me know!
