~Alex's POV ~
As I woke up, I felt like I wanted coffee so it could might lighten my mood a bit, since someone decided to sleep in my room and be close to me. As I got up slowly, to get away from him. As I got up, he groaned and opened his red wine orbs as he said while tightening his grip on my waist,"What are you doing? You should be asleep with me.." He mumbles. I sighed and tried to move. As I did, I said,"Let me go before I rip your arm off." He didn't bother to even listen to me. 'Why does he do this to me?? Can Yuki please come and get him?' I thought to myself. After a while, he knocks out again and I finally got out of his grip.
As I descended from the stairs, I see the others awake. 'Who would be up this early on a Saturday? Let alone vampires. Oh, yeah.. I am one'. I laughed internally. "Good morning, Lady Alex." The group says. I nodded in response. Once I descended from the stairs, I decided to head to the kitchen. As I went to the kitchen, Zero was there and I smiled. "Hey, Alex. What's up?" He said while looking at me. I looked at him and answered, "Fine." He came up to me and hugged me from behind, and took my coffee mug. "Hey, give it back, Zero!" I said, while jumping up to reach it. Yes, I'm short. I'm 5'2 and freaking short. I know it sucks. He chuckled as he kept teasing me. Then, I thought of something. I suddenly had a smirk on my face. I grabbed his collar, brought him to my height and kissed him. It was only for 0.2 seconds. When I finally got my coffee mug, I set it down and saw that Kaname standing there.
"What is going on here?" He asked calmly before he blew his top off. (Get it? Blew his top off. 😂. Alright back to the story) I looked at him and said,"There is nothing for you to worry about. I was only going to get my coffee mug back. I'm the only vampire here who drinks coffee, not blood tablets." He looked at me and he replied,"I seen what you had done. You kissed him. I thought he wasn't allowed to be near you."
I turned around and grabbed Zero's hand and looked straight into Kaname's eyes. You should be concerned about Yuki. You love her more than me, am I correct? Then do that." After that, I left.
~Time skip to the town~
After Zero and I arrived in town, we decided to spend the day together. "What's up with you and Kaname? It seems like you aren't interested in him and you try to separate from him." He questioned.
"Well, I am. It's been very difficult to not be alone when you have a twin that is constantly up on you 24/7." I replied.
"That's harsh. Why did you say that he loves Yuki more? I thought he loves you?" Zero asked.
"He does love me, but it was never in a way where it was serious. I always managed to slip myself from that feeling because I don't do well with it. I always told him that he loves her and not me, I tell myself that too. It keeps me from being broken and stuff." I said.
He looked at me as he said,"Well, you have to learn what it is before keeping yourself from it. It'll hurt you more." I knew he was right but he didn't know that there was a boy who I liked when we were kids and he completely shattered my heart.
"Um, Zero, actually when we were kids, there was this boy that I liked and we were talking a lot. Then one day, these boys beat me up because their friend liked me and they said that he never liked me. Then I gave up on the idea of love and a relationship." I said that in a stoic tone.
He hugged me as he said,"I will never let you go through that again, I promise." We kept hugging until it was time to eat.
For the rest of the day, we laughed and talked and had fun. He made my worries go away. As time flew by, I decided to head back to the dorm and give everyone gifts.
As I was heading there with Zero next to me, I saw Kaname in my bedroom, looking through the window. "Thanks for everything, Zero. I really appreciate it." I said with a smile. He said, "Don't worry about it. I enjoyed today. I'll see you around. Bye." He hugged me and left. When I walked in, everybody was in the lounge and I had gifts for each of them. They looked at me like I was some crazy person. I handed them it and went to my room quietly.
A few minutes later, Kaname went into my room and looked at me with seriousness and rage in his eyes. "What's the meaning of you going out with Zero? You were told to stay away from him." Oh, boy, here it goes. "I ordered you to stay away from the ex human." I think I had enough of his ranting. "Furthermore-" "Furthermore, nothing." I interrupted him. "I was only hanging out with him because I didn't want to be near you. I wanted to be with someone who is more comfortable. This doesn't concern you or anybody else! I may be your twin but I'm not going to put up with your bullshit. Non avete bisogno di dirmi cosa posso e non può fare, im un vampiro maledetto che ha la libertà per gridare forte! (You don't need to tell me what I can and can't do, I'm a damn vampire who has freedom for crying out loud!)" *yeah its Italian. She speaks Italian*
It was that last of it that I had put up with. As I was going to walk away, he slapped me, and when my head turned, everyone was there. In the entire Moon Dorm. They looked shocked. He, then grabbed my neck and pushed me against the wall as he said to me,"How dare you talk back to your fiancee, your eldest brother? Do you not know what respect I want from you? I want your love only for me. You can't even do the simplest things. Not even accept my gifts because you give them to Yuki. I love you and always will." He threw me across the room, into the wall that separates my room from Kaname's own. His eyes looked disappointed, sad and desperate for my love for him. I couldn't do that. Not to him. I began to cough up blood. As I said,"If you didn't keep me on a tight ass leash, then maybe, just maybe, I'll learn to love you. But all this time, all the years, you wanted to us to be together. I have bits and pieces of my past life as one of the progenitor of the Kuran family or as I say in Italian, Famiglia. I shouldn't even be with you here, Kaname. But Rido has done this to me. And he tried to take me away when he killed Haruka and Juri. Honestly, you and Yuki should be married. I don't see why you have to try so hard for me to be with you. Not even before, they arranged a betrothal for me, for the sake of the family. So I agreed to it. Evidently enough, it didn't please you. So you cut off communications from that family."
"I had no choice. You were going to be married and the betrothal wasn't with me. It was with that parasite, Alec Tsukiyama. I did it because it was best for you!" He explained.
I got up, looking at the wound as it healed and walked towards Kaname,"If you really loved me, you wouldn't even put your hands on me, or even lay a finger on me. You never did that when we were kids. I miss the old days. Where we smiled and laughed, held each others hands, and loved each other. I guess that's gone." I said, smiling.
As I walked past him, I said to him a phrase in Italian that he should recognize. I told him every day when we were little. Ti amo e ti amerò per sempre, Kaname, sempre. (I love you and will always love you, Kaname, always.)
After that, I left without another word.
