You waited until Zero's breathing fell into a steady rythym, a sign that he was asleep, before gently pushing him off of your chest and onto the couch. You stood, stomach rumbling a reminder that you hadn't eaten for a few days. You and Zero had just returned from a mission, killing Level E who had escaped from the Hunter's Association weeks previously, and being the only female on your team of vampires, you strived to show the others how good you could be. Unfortunately, you often skipped your lunchtime to do extra work, so you were always hungry. This wasn't entirely important, afterall, you couldn't care less what the others thought of you, only one person mattered to you. Zero...

Your childhood friend and closest partner, you had forgotten how long ago it was that you fell for him, and you didn't quite care, all that mattered to you was that your heart tried desperately to break free of your chest when he spoke to you, touched you. You thought it would be annoying, if you didn't love him so much.

Sighing, you spun around and padded to the kitchen of your small apartment, shared with Zero for the convenience of money. You had grabbed an apple and were in the proccess of stuffing it away in your mouth when the couch creaked slightly and Zero's wiry form shadowed the doorway. "You could have woken me..." he grumbled, rubbing his eye with the heel of his hand. You grinned, musing how he looked like a child who had just been woken from a nap. You swallowed the apple, "Sorry, but you were tired. I've gotta make sure that my teamate is fully rested, right?" He eyed you skeptically, arms crossed against his broad chest. "You're tired too, you've got bags under your eyes." But you shook your head, twirling around and brandishing another apple before taking an entire half into your mouth and swallowing it, stifling a cough. "I'm hungry, that's all. 'Sides, you guys did all the work..." You hurriedly finished the rest of the apple and Zero arched an eyebrow. "Impressive." he said and you scowled lightly once you realized that he was referring to that fact that you had just eaten an apple the size of a softball in two bites. "Shut up," You growled, punching his arm as you squeezed past him and back into the living room, falling backwards onto the couch and bringing your knees to the side of your body, (H/C) locks fanning around you.

Zero leaned on the back of the couch and you grinned, moving your legs again before patting your thighs in a gesture for him to come sit. He complied, and soon the silver head was back in your lap, eyes half lidded and hair tickling your bare shins, folded just off to the side of you. You smiled again as his eyes closed, not even bothering to grace you with a snarky comment before he nodded off to sleep again.

You stared down at him, brushing silver hair lovingly from his eyes as you were hit with a new wave of longing for him. You shook your head to try and dispel the thoughts, but as soon as your eyes opened again, they sought out Zero's face, tracing every line and every shadow, marveling at the soft look of his lips and the length of his eyelashes. You leaned forward, (E/C) eyes closing without you being aware of it.

Part of you screamed to stop before it was too late, but the other part told you to keep going, that it was now or never.

Part of you ached with guilt that you were taking advantage of him, and the fact that you might never be able to look him in the eye again made your heart squeeze, but you didn't care right now, and you leaned forward a little more, feeling the breath feather across your face as your nose brushed against his. You opened your eyes only slightly, gazing down at the still sleeping boy and a rueful smile twisting your lips as you dipped your head, mouth connecting with his in a chaste kiss.

Fireworks went off in your mind and you gasped in surprise. Those lips you had always wondered about, how they would feel against yours, they were there. Those eyes that you were always studying, they were just behind pale eyelids. Your noses brushed against each other and you gasped upon realizing that it was Zero moving, not you.

You've reached the end of published parts.
