Hey guys! I finally got this uploaded, I finished days ago but I had to edit and I wanted to scream from the work a lot of times, but I pushed through.

Please enjoy and I apologize for any mistakes!

Blech.

Kaname spits out any leftover throw-up in the toilet and leans his head down to lie on the cold seat. He raises his hand and flushes the toilet, lifting his head enough to close the lid and drop back down.

He has been in this position for the past twenty minutes, and he doesn't know how much more he can take of the aftertaste.

A red bag entered his field of vision, and his eyes traced up to the hand holding it out. He sees Takuma staring down at him with a worried expression.

"I'm...o..kay" Kaname forces out between his lips as he sits up to grab the blood bag. "It's probably the stress of everything and-"

"Stress?" Takuma snorts, bending down to his level. "Stress wouldn't have you choking so hard on the pills that I had to force hospital-graded blood down your throat before you were calm enough to drink yourself." he states, "This..this isn't good." His hands swat the empty piles of blood bags near their feet, catching Kaname's attention for a second before he focuses on his blood bag.

"I'm dealing." Kaname muffles between the sucks of blood, his grip squishing the pouch till it's empty like the rest. He tosses it to the pile beside him and lays his head back on the toilet seat. "This is just a minor inconvenience but I will get back on track enough to handle the pills."

Takuma rolls his eyes and sits across from him. He nudges a pile away and lets out a sigh in the silent bathroom.

The fact Kaname is calling his hunger an inconvenience already worries him, but the little changes that have been happening for the past two months; that give him a bit of fear. A pureblood losing control has deadly results. A pureblood of Kaname stature doing the same thing is just fucking destruction.

"You think it's because of your bond with Zero? Because you two haven't talked since the tour and you been ignoring the signs from it?" Takuma asks.

Kaname shrugs, staring up at the ceiling. "Could be. I have been meaning to answer him back but I've been so busy and I need to stay focused on everything that's going on." he answers, and lifts his head to stare at his friend. "But I don't think so. From what you told me before, A true mate bond has to be done for us to be connected and I don't remember connecting with Zero in that type of way."

"Yes, but you two are truemates and had already started the path towards it. Or can you not speak telepathically with each other while also feeling the other emotions?"

"It could just be a pureblood thing. I do share a lot of my blood and he shares a lot back with me." Kaname points out, "I don't know if Zero can feel my emotions the way I can to him."

Takuma scoffed, "He can't feel it if you have him blocked. He told me how you could read his mind, but he isn't able to do it back."

"I don't have him blocked. Well...I don't think I do."

"Kaname. This is bad." Takuma continued, "You already have people who are against you and blaming you for the daemons. If they find out you can't take your blood pills, shit going up in flames." His tone conveys his seriousness, "I don't know if you can tell but you are changing. Your aura is very defining, your abilities have begun slipping out of your command, and sometimes your eyes are dark ebony instead of a deep brown." Takuma listed.

Kaname raises an eyebrow at him, thrown off by how much attention his friend paid. He didn't even notice the aura thing, but it does make sense on the cracking windows and flickering lights.
