The Choice

When I woke up, it was dark in the room. It felt empty and cold, and for a moment I had forgotten about everything that had happened in the last year. In that moment, in that split second of time, I was hit with the loneliness of my life. I was reminded of how comfortable I had become with hiding who I was and hating everyone that crossed me. I figured it was really time to wake up.

I ventured out of that room, walking the long walk up to the room that I had shared with Kaname when he was here and not on some business trip. It gave me time to think back on us, on how everything had changed so quickly. I remembered how just months ago, I couldn't hardly stand to look at him, how I was just playing with him like he was a toy. I used to tell myself that I didn't need anyone. I was fine being all alone all the time.

I found that, in time, Kaname had found his way into my heart, into my soul. He had broke down every last wall I had ever built. I would've never thought that the one person I seemed to hate the most in the world would be the person I would love the most in the world. Other than my little Bella, of course. I used to be one of those people who looked down at the ground when I walked because I didn't want to trip over something unexpected, but now I looked up at the sky waiting to wake up and be back where I started.

I came to a stop at that door. It was like my destiny would be decided if I walked through this door. I knew I had a decision to make, and I knew that this was the easiest decision I would ever make. I hated being a vampire, I hated who I was. I hated who I had made myself to be because I was too afraid to tell the world who I was. Finally I opened the door and walked in. Bella was sleeping peacefully, she was so beautiful it made my heart swell with pure joy. Kaname, he was standing on the balcony, leaning against the rail with his head hung low.

I knew my decision would not only change my life, but it would also have a large impact on him as well. Nothing I did anymore would only pertain to me, but it included him, and Bella. I took a breath in.

"Hey." I said, finally getting his attention. He looked back at me as if it was the first time he noticed me. His eyes were tired, dull, and nearly lifeless. He glanced at me, and then over to Bella. He smiled at her before pushing off of the railing and walking over to me. "So, how is this turning back into a human thing supposed to work?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me. I was mindful of the little angel sleeping close to us.

"I have to, uh, bite you or whatever. Basically sucking the venom out of your blood stream and it somehow allows you to return to your human self. I don't know much about it, but if we could just get it over with that would be great. I have a meeting with the ambassadors soon." He told me and sat down on the couch. He patted the place beside him, and I slowly sat down on the couch beside him.

"What do they want?" I asked quietly, trying to change the subject.

"I have to renounce the throne." He said, making me look at him with wide eyes. "I'm just gonna go for it." He said, lifting my chin up and leaning in for my neck. I was sitting there in shock really, and I didn't snap out of it until I felt his lips touch my neck. I put my hand on his chest to stop him. When he pulled back to look at me, I smiled and gently touched his perfectly chiseled jaw.

"I don't want to be human, not if it means I can't have you." I whispered. His eyes lit up as if someone turned on the lights inside. "And I guess, being king wouldn't be all that bad." I smirked.

"You'd do that? For me?" He asked in shock, as if he had just heard that earth wasn't round. "I could give up my throne and we could live normal lives. A small house out in the country, you, me, Bella. We could grow old together and no one would ever bother us." He told me, taking my hands into his.

"As tempting as that sounds, I have everything I want and need, right here. With you by my side, I can do anything. I used to think I didn't need anyone in my life to be okay, but thanks to you, I can't go a minute without thinking of you. I can't be happy without you being happy. I can't imagine what life would be like without you. You should have your own hashtag, because I would use it every day." I said.

"You're such a sap, but god do I love you. I love you so fucking much it hurts." He said as he leaned in to kiss me. It felt so good to hear those words, for him to mean them wholeheartedly and for me to feel the same way for him. "So, I don't have to renounce my throne?"

"I hereby declare, King Zero Kiryu. Ruler of the vampire race, and peacekeeper of the unity in which the humans and their kind have created over the years. His majesty will be a fine ruler, a fine ruler indeed." The head of the church boomed loudly. Applause erupted everywhere, thousands of people surrounding the ceremonial site.

I had a large cape and a crown on top of my snowy white hair. I looked over to Kaname, to which he smiled at me. I reached my hand out to him, and he bowed before taking my hand.

"You know, just because you're king and all, it doesn't mean I'm going to listen to you." He whispered into my ear. I smirked.

"I guess if you don't I'll just have to punish you." I teased, making him raise an eyebrow. "I can always get a separate room, too." I told him before walking off, leaving him standing there with wide eyes and his mouth hanging open.

I was the king of vampires, and I was married to the love of my life. What more could you want?
