A/N: I wanted to start a drabble collection for this couple because I can't seem to find any short, fluffy ZxK/KxZ fics out there. Everything is based off of a one word prompt in which they are already a couple.

WARNING: CONTAINS YAOI/boyxboy. Rated M for such themes and later chapters, most of these will be short fluffs/angsty bits.

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight, nor it's characters, it is solely the creation of the wonderfully talented Masturi Hino. I only lay claim to my original characters and plot bunnies.

Title: Applely
Prompt: Apple
Pairing: KanamexZero
Words: No idea... :P
Rating: K+
Warnings: None, really, unless you hate apples or something


The sunlight streamed through the trees, filtering down into the shadowed clearing below. Zero made a face as he scowled down at the textbook, taking another bite out of the apple in his hand. He turned the page, lavender eyes skimming quickly over the words present, his mind tucking the information away for the test later that week.

Vampire hearing picked up the soft approach before he actually saw pureblood. Mussed dark hair and swirling garnet eyes stared morosely at his slender figure beneath the tree. The top buttons of his uniform were undone and there was something almost like a pout hovering around his lips.

Zero hid a smile. "Kaname…it's early for you to be up, isn't it?" He patted the ground beside him, knowing his lover would eventually take a seat somewhere beside him. The expression on Kaname's face said that he was early and that he wasn't exactly happy at the moment. "I have a test." He gestured towards the book in his lap. "I have to study, unlike certain people who sometimes don't even show up for their own tests."

This time, he did pout. "I know the answers already." Kaname huffed, gingerly lowering himself to the ground and taking the left side of Zero that offered more shade from the offending sunlight. "It's pointless."

"It sets a good example." Zero retorted. "Try any funny business and I'll-"

The pureblood snuggled into Zero's side, his head nudging the textbook aside for prime lap real estate. At Zero's adorable scowl, he blinked, innocently.

"Right, forget it." Zero sighed. "That'd be like asking you to stop-"

Kaname angled his head forward to press a kiss to the hand holding the textbook. Zero's pale cheeks flushed a healthy shade of red and he yanked his hand out of range.

"-like asking you to stop doing that!" He muttered. "Really, Kaname. There's other students around here."

"Then let them see."

Zero bopped him on the head with the apple. He scowled. "No thank you. I'm not on display." He looked at the apple in his hand and Kaname's still innocent expression. "Here. Eat this. Then sleep or whatever it is you came out here for. I need to study."

The innocent gaze traveled from Zero's face to the proffered treat. It changed to an expression of longsuffering.

Zero opened his mouth, then shut it, he leaned forward to pull a knife from the inside of his left boot. He wiped it on his uniform sleeve and began to slice into the apple. In a minute, he had it cored and sliced into neat sections on the kerchief near Kaname's head. The fact that he could use a sharp blade around his lover without the slightest trace of anything between them, spoke volumes of the pureblood's trust.

A detail not missed by the still-embarrassed hunter. He wiped the knife on the edge of the kerchief and tucked it back in his boot. He'd wash it later.

As if on cue, Kaname licked his lips and opened his mouth.

Zero resisted the urge to pour the slices down his mouth and settled for placing one perfect section at the corner of his lover's mouth. The embarrassment faded as he watched Kaname's eyes slide half-closed and an expression of pure bliss steal over his unguarded features as he happily crunched away on the fruit.

Ha. Forget it.

Feeding Kaname apples trumped studying anytime.
