Seran woke to the sound of a pen scratching against paper. It seemed a little out of place considering the last thing he remembered was falling asleep in the middle of a lecture after returning from his mission. Blinking slowly he shifted slightly and the scratching stopped. Finally managing to pry his eyes open he was only mildly surprised to see Yagari sitting next to him. He was totally surprised, however, to see Yuki sitting in the other chair. The brunette girl looked up at him and smiled while Yagari set aside what he was working on.
"How are you feeling?" He asked leaning over slightly.
"Better," Seran replied pausing in the middle to stifle a yawn. "How long was I asleep?"
"You missed the rest of the school day and it's almost morning now, so I'm guessing about eight hours," Yagari replied with a shrug.
"Wow. Sorry about that. I didn't mean to sleep through everything," the silver haired vampire signed out sheepishly.
"Its fine, Seran. You have been awake for the last three days so you really needed your sleep," Yagari said with a smile.
Seran smiled as he sat up, but before he could say anything Yuki spoke up, "Seran-kun, you still look really tired. Why don't you spend the day at the Moon Dorms? I'm sure we could find an open room for you. Besides, weren't you planning on eventually staying in the dorms anyway?"
The silver haired vampire considered this for a second before smiling at the petite brunette, "Alright that sounds good to me. Are you alright with that, sensei?"
Yagari nodded and started gathering his paperwork. Yuki did the same while Seran hauled himself out of the infirmary bed. Yuki lightly took his arm as they walked from the building. They parted ways with Yagari as the front doors, with Seran handing over his keys with a wave. Yagari smirked and waved as he walked away. That left the two Purebloods standing at the school doors with no easy way back to the Moon Dorms, at least the way Yuki saw it. A tap on her shoulder had her looking at Seran.
"Picture a place in the Moon Dorms. Preferably not your room thought," he signed out with a smile.
"Why?"
"I can get us there in less than a second, but I need an anchor point. Whatever you picture is that anchor point," Seran explained, the smile still on his face.
Yuki shrugged and pictured the couch in the Moon Dorm's main living area. One of Seran's eyebrows arched delicately, but he didn't comment. He just started falling back into a shadow by the door, pulling Yuki with him. The girl squeaked at the feeling of suddenly being off balance like that, but it didn't last long because almost as soon as it happened it stopped and they were sitting on the couch in the dorms. Their quite sudden arrival had not gone unnoticed and all the vampires in the room just stared at the pair siting on the couch. Seran was unruffled, but Yuki was decidedly not.
She looked around the room in surprise first before looking back at Seran. He sat leaned against one of the arms, a small smile on his face. He lifted a hand as though to say something, but stopped when a huge yawn forced him to cover his mouth with said hand. Yuki smiled softly as she got over the shock of suddenly going from one place to another at the sight. Standing she looked at the other vampires in the room.
"Does anyone know if there is an empty room somewhere in the dorms?" she asked looking around the room.
At first no one answered her. She simply figured their silence was caused by her and Seran's sudden arrival. The petite vampire's hunch was partially right. The main reason they were staying quiet thought was that there were no more empty private rooms for the Pureblood to stay in. There were only two private rooms and both Kaname and Yuki occupied both. Even with Seran telling them that he really didn't want to be treated like a Pureblood the other vampires couldn't help but stick to what they knew.
Getting a little impatient with the continued silence Yuki propped her hands on her hips before speaking again, "Seriously are there any empty rooms available? Or at least someone who doesn't have a roommate that would be willing to share?"
That got a few odd glances. The only vampire who had a double room but no roommate was Darmoria and Seran had made it perfectly clear that he wasn't exactly comfortable around the dark skinned vampire. Yuki looked like she was about to start actually yelling at the group when Kaname walked in. The petite brunette perked up immediately and ran to her brother. Seran gave the other Pureblood a slight nod of acknowledgement. Kaname nodded back before looking down at his sister.
"What seems to be the problem, Yuki?" he asked gently.
"I was trying to find a room for Seran to stay in today. He's still tiered and I'm worried about him trying to go back to his house today," the petite vampire pouted darkly crossing her arms slowly.
Kaname glanced over at Seran, who was suppressing a yawn and looked like he was about to fall asleep on the couch. It probably wasn't a good thing to try and send him back to his house tonight, either by shadow travel or by car. There was only one real way to allow the other Pureblood to stay at the Moon dorms. Well, he could stay where he was and just sleep on the couch but Kaname knew that the other members of the Night Class would totally balk at the thought. That left sharing a room with either him or his sister. He definitely didn't want the other man sharing with his sister. That really only left one option.
Taking a deep breath he turned to the silver haired vampire, "Seran, there are no other private rooms available for you to use. That means that you will have to share. The only rooms available to accommodate two people are Darmoria's and mine. Considering what happened between you two I think it would be best if you stayed in my room tonight. Is that acceptable to you?"
"I could stay here on the couch if you really don't want me to room with anyone. I don't mind," Seran signed out after shaking his head sharply.
"I know that but it would be... improper... for you to spend the night out here," Kaname said gesturing to the room at large with a long hand. "So, I will ask again, would you rather room with Darmoria or me?"
