Kaname silently watched as Zero walked happily in front of him. He was talking about all the plans that he had for their sleepover, but Kaname wasn't really paying attention. Kaname was just thinking about how he'd survive the next four days with Zero in the same house. He hoped that he would be able to hold back on his...urges.

Just the other day he and Zero were bathing together in a public bath -seeing Zero naked nearly gave him a bloody nose. Thank goodness, he learned self-control. If he didn't, Zero probably wouldn't be a virgin today -and everyone in the public bath would have had a live gay porn show.

The brunette inwardly sighed, only to bump into Zero, causing the poor lilac eyed male to fall over. Kaname chuckled at the cute pout and glare that Zero sent him, "Sorry Zero. I was thinking about something else."

Zero shook his head, "No it's alright!" He tilted his head thinking, "Were you thinking about that person you like?" Kaname nodded and held his hand out to Zero, helping him stand, "Something like that."

"Well you better not think about the person all the time!" Zero said, accepting the hand that Kaname held out. "You're spending four days with me. I'd like to have Kaname's mind here please."

"Yes, of course Zero. Sorry." Kaname smiled apologetically.

Zero eyed him suspiciously, opening the gate to his house, "Did you hear anything I said about what we're doing while you're sleeping over?" The shorter male sighed when Kaname shot him a blank look. "I knew it."

"That's alright Zero," Kaname stated optimistically, "Now everything we do will be a surprise to me."

"I guess..."

Zero led his friend into the living room and traced his fingers over the board games that sat on a shelf, "What do you want to play?"

'I want to play naughty bed games...' Kaname thought to himself.

"Kaname?"

"Oh um..." The brunette's wine eyes scanned over the games. "How about..."

"Zero?" The silverette's mother entered the room.

Kaname bowed slightly and greeted Mrs. Kiryu before Zero could ask her what she needed.

"Don't tell me you forgot." She sighed when her son only blinked, "You offered to clean the house while your father and I went out today."

Zero's face paled, "Um...of course...I remembered..."

Zero's mother raised an eyebrow not believing a word he was saying. "You don't have to do it you know..."

"No, no! I promised I'd do it today so I will." Zero sighed, wishing that he remembered that he had to clean the house.

Zero's face paled, "Um...of course...I remembered..."

Zero's mother raised an eyebrow not believing a word he was saying. "You don't have to do it you know..."

"No, no! I promised I'd do it today so I will." Zero sighed, wishing that he remembered that he had to clean the house. "Alright. You know where the cleaning supplies are."

"Yeah."

The two boys watched that as Zero's parents walked out of the door, arms linked together. Kaname idly wondered if he'd be like that with the silverette.

"Do you need help with cleaning?" Kaname asked.

Zero shook his head so violently that Kaname wondered if it would break, "No! I can't make you do that!"

"No, you're not making me do that. I'm offering." Kaname corrected,

"Anyways, it'll get done faster if I help. You have activities planned right?" The shorter male nodded reluctantly and leaded Kaname over to the closet that held the cleaning supplies. He handed Kaname a rag and got himself a broom. He figured that since the attractive brunette was tall, he'd be able to use the rag more efficiently.

They got to work, cleaning for almost four hours straight -but by the time they finished, it was already time for dinner. Zero insisted on cooking dinner himself -he didn't want to make Kaname do anymore work. Then after they ate and put the leftovers into the refrigerator, it was already time to get ready to sleep.

Zero's head slammed onto the kitchen table, "I can't believe that cleaning took the whole day away from us..."

"It's alright. We have three days left." Kaname stared calmly.

"That's true...but I really wanted to have fun with you for all four days." Zero pouted, "We haven't had fun at all!"

Kaname smiled reassuringly, "Then we should go to sleep so we can start early tomorrow."

"Good idea!" And before Kaname could bat an eye, Zero was pulling him up the stairs to his bedroom. Zero motioned vaguely on where Kaname should put his bags and quickly rummaged through his drawers, looking for his pajamas. When he turned around, Kaname was already taking his shirt off,

"Give me a warning before you do that!" Zero shouted; his face was as red as a cherry.

Kaname smirked, "Aren't we both guys?"

"Y-yes but..."

"Ah so innocent." Kaname teased.

Zero glared and marched over to the bathroom, "Shut up."

"You're not going to show me your body too?"

All he got as a reply was a slam.

"I wonder how Zero will react if I tell him I don't sleep with underwear or a shirt on..." Kaname mumbled to himself before looking through Zero's books to pass the time.

He smiled when he found a photo album of them in elementary school -nearly laughing when he came across the picture with Zero covered in glue and glitter. He skimmed through several other albums, workbooks, and light novels. Zero had nice taste in literature -he mused, beginning to be sucked into one of the novels.

"Ah, whoops." Kaname bit his lips slightly when a paper fell out from the pages and assumed that it was a bookmark. He hoped that the male knew where he left off.

He dropped the light novel when he noticed that there were words on the small index card.

It was then that Zero came out of the bathroom, "Sorry for taking so long, you can use it...now..."

Zero's eyes widened when he saw what Kaname had in his hand.

"I love you Kaname..." The brunette read out loud and couldn't help thinking how cute Zero looked when his face turned into a bright red color.

The lilac-eyed male was inwardly panicking. He didn't mean to have Kaname discover that card! It was the card that he was supposed to give Kaname -and for obvious reasons he didn't. 'Oh he probably thinks I'm disgusting now...'

"Zero?" Kaname's voice interrupted his thoughts and without thinking, the Kiryu ran out of his bedroom door. Kaname quickly pocketed the card and quickly ran after Zero. He chased after him around the house, garden, down the street, and they even climbed a tree at one point.

'When did Zero get so much stamina?' Kaname wondered, panting heavily for air. During their chase, he had bumped into Zero's parents who looked very confused at what they were doing. He quickly told them that they were playing 'tag' before running after Zero once more.

His fingers quickly pressed a few numbers on his cell phone, his mouth quirked into a smile when he heard Zero's ringtone coming from the bedroom, "Why didn't I think to search there?"

"Zero?" Kaname rushed over to Zero when he saw the silverette trying to jump out of the window. He wrapped his arm around Zero's slim waist and pulled him onto the bed. "Stop running please."

Zero gulped, "Uh...I can't exactly run with you on top of me..."

Kaname fished through his pockets and put the index card in front of Zero's face, "When were you planning to give me this?"

"Does it matter? You already have someone you like."

"Yes I do." Kaname said seriously, making Zero's heart drop to his stomach. "Should I tell you who I love now?"

"I don't want to know anymore!" Zero shouted and started thrashing his legs. "Get off!"

Kaname recoiled back slowly, giving some space for the boy. He found himself in awe, watching the silver tears welled down beautiful, like an unending waterfall sparked by the sun's glittering glow.

"I don't want to know. I don't want to hear it." Zero turned his pathetic face away. "I give up. Don't tell me. It's better off not knowing."

Do you know how painful it is, to know you won't return my feelings when all I ever love is you?

Kaname raised a brow at that. Zero was the keen one who wanted to know who his special person was. Now he had become so reluctant. It was amusing but he wouldn't admit it out loud.

"Let's see..." the Kuran tapped his finger to his chin, eyeing Zero. "How about I show you who I love instead of telling you?"

Zero clenched his jaw, "I told you-"

"I..." Kaname lowered his head to Zero's forehead and pecked it, brushing the bangs with the back of his finger.

"Love..." he leaned deeper and kissed the soaked cheek, receiving a hiccup from Zero.

"You..." he grazed his lips to Zero's trembled ones, slow and shy, but it was filled with gentles and devotion. It was enough to make Zero looked at Kaname in the eyes, confused and shocked.

"I have two quote cards I wanted to give you at that time..." He made a frustrated look.

"R-Really?" Zero crouched away from Kaname, sighing when the latter didn't try to chase him.

"Ermm...here it...is..." he pulled the small peach color quote card from his wallet and handed it to Zero. At first, the silver-haired youth hesitated, but grudgingly took it.

'Dear Zero...Rawr!'

...

Zero stared at his friend, if he could still call him like that after the kiss they shared. "Rawr?"

"It means 'I love you' in dinosaur language."

Zero laughed, hard, returning Kaname's rawr with a kiss to his cheek.

"I..." Zero blushed, yet again. "I-I love you too...Kaname."

"..." Kaname grinned, pulling Zero closer to him, "So that means I can call you mine now."

Three weeks later

Snap

Both Zero and Kaname turned to the source of the flashlight, only to find Yori, with a camera in her hands. She had taken a picture of them kissing and hugging under the willow tree.

"What are you doing?" Kaname asked bluntly.

"Collection." Was the answer they received from her as she put her camera in her bag and began to stalk away. Yeah, she had manycollections.
