Burn For Me (Vampire Knight Fan-Fic)

Pinky Swear?

Akatsuki leads me to my living quarters. I stay silent the entire time. He grabs the door handle in front of us, and pushes the door open, to reveal a large bedroom. My eyes widen. "This is it, what do you think?" He asks. "...how many people live in this room?" I ask. He chuckles and motions for me to follow him in. I do, more automatically, than knowingly. He closes the door and sets my suitcase down at the end of the bed. I told him I could carry my suitcase just fine but...he grabbed it anyways. I explore my room while Akatsuki sits at the bottom of my bed. The bathroom was half the size of my room but still larger than a normal one. The wardrobe looked like a room in itself. After closing the wardrobe, I walk back to Akatsuki. "So, what do you think?" He asks. "Its...amazing!" I say with a bright smile, one I save for Akatsuki only. He smirks and gets up to rub my head. "I'm glad you like it little sis." He says almost relieved. My smile falters at the little sis part. His falters as well and he becomes serious. He pulls me into a hug. "I've missed you so much...Mitsuko, why did you run away?" He asks. My eyes widen but narrow sadly just as quickly. "I..." I trail off. Don't tell him! "You what?" He asks. "I...forgot." I lie. "You forgot? Are you sure?" He asks. I nod. "Yea.." I say. He exhales and lets me go. "Alright, but...you won't run away again, right?" He asks hopeful. "I...won't..." I say sadly. At least not right yet... I silently add. He pulls away and holds out his pinky. "Promise me." He says. The look in his eyes was serious. I slowly extend mine, stopping in hesitation for a few seconds, before locking my pinky with his. He smiles. I can't help but smile too. We...use to pinky swear a lot as kids, pinky swear to play together, pinky swear to build a fort out of our bed sheets together...we always kept our promises when we did that. Tucking those memories away, I smile and laugh softly. "We haven't done that since we were kids." I say smiling. "Pinky promises are the ultimate promise, so you better not break it." He says. I shake my head with a smirk. "I can't believe you made me pinky swear." I say and can't help but laugh. He joins in. "Well, you better believe it, because as of now, that promise is law." He says. The promise is law...I can't break that promise now...what am I going to do? Pushing those thoughts asside, we spend the rest of the day catching up, until we fall asleep.
