27 minutes.

Tsukumo stirred in his bed. His legs stretched out under the duvet, his arms flailing to the other side of the empty bed. The wait for his lover's return was painfully prolonged as his thought filled with the possibility of his beloved not coming back to him - not coming back into his arms anymore.

The silver-haired teen could only blink his eyes weakly.

19 minutes

Small whimper escaped his lips, he waited and waited and only few minutes had passed. He felt like a clingy person, wanting nothing else but the warmth of his lover as his strong arms engulfed his smaller form in a protective embrace.

Tsukumo shook his head ridiculously. He bit his lower lip in anticipation as he watched the ticking clock on the wall. Why did it feel so long?

14 minutes

Tsukumo yawned and clamped his open mouth using his free hand. He was sleepy but he still wanted to wait for him.

What took him so long? Did he even want to go home tonight?

9 minutes

There was a creaking sound outside of the window. Tsukumo frowned, not scared, but leaned deeper into the blanket anyway.

Inside of the white sheet, he inhaled the familiar scent of his lover. It was of cinnamon and a vivid odor of nature - proof that his beloved liked to venture under the moonlight in the forest.

He missed him.

5 minutes

The Zweilt guardian chewed the inside of his cheeks. He wondered if he was being immature by acting like a love-struck boy. He wondered too if this was how Yuki felt, longing for Luka's presence.

3 minutes

He had been waiting for-... forever! Or maybe he was exaggerating. It was getting cold, it was getting dark, and Tsukumo felt alone.

A couple of minutes left before midnight and if his lover still did not come home after that, it would already be too late.

1 minute

A few seconds left-

"I'm home, love." a gentle kiss to the young Zweilt's neck, a smooth brush against his hair and Tsukumo's eyes widened. He spun around only to meet with his lover's affectionate gaze. "Sorry I'm late, love." Rido did not wait for the guardian's consent as he tugged Tsukumo into his arms and showered the teen with kisses. "Happy anniversary." he murmured. Rido's stoic and stern form faltered.

A smile found its way to the human's lips. Tsukumo took Rido's cold hand in his and put it on his cheek. "Welcome home." he forgot about Rido's promise. The pureblood swore he would always return to him no matter what. "And happy anniversary to you too." Together for almost four years, Tsukumo cherished every second the latter spent with him. They were supposed to be enemies. Vampires and Zweilt guardians could never mix. One simple mistake, one harsh word and it would be the end of this beautiful dream.

"I won't let you go. Never." such gentle spoke by such dark creature.

Tsukumo looked back at the clock. Three seconds left before midnight. Rido arrived just in time to spend their short anniversary together.

"Murasame."

"Yes Kuran?"

"It's getting cold. Can I warm you up in the bed?"

"...pervert."
