Things We Used To Share

The Party pt 1

Hiro had never been to a party.

He insisted on just wearing the school uniform. It was more than proper. He would just add a flower to his coat pocket and maybe slick his hair back.

And he did just that.

Rima had picked a pink rose, one that was almost red. It made his eyes stick out and his white suit seem more bright.

She had put a little hair gel into her hands, and pushed his hair back. Hiro watched his hair grow shiny in awe.

Rima smiled at her finished product.

"Thanks, Rima." Hiro said in delight, turning to her as he stood up from her vanity table.

Ruka stepped over, a hand on her chin. Hiro had never truly interacted with her, but it was easy to tell she held affection for his older brother.

She was gorgeous, like a movie star.

"If I may, Hiro-sama." She looked to him.

Hiro swallowed a sigh, nodding. She quickly got something from her own vanity table. It was cologne, and Hiro was surprised when she sprayed it on him.

"Is that cologne? That stuff smells bad." Rima said with a slight frown.

"This one is good." Ruka reassured her with an annoyed frown. "My father used to wear it."

Rima grimaced. "That means it smells old."

Hiro sniffed the air, surprised to inhale a down to earth smell, like rainwater mixed with roses. It wasn't heavy or stinky, but light.

Hiro smiled, turning to her. "It smells amazing. Thank you, Ruka-san."

She smiled back in triumph. "You're welcome."

Senri burst in, hand on the doorknob as he peeked in. "We're going to be late."

Ruka threw her heel at him, yelling something along the lines of 'pervert' and 'you animal, why don't you knock!'.

Hiro hid his smile, feeling a sense of dread slowly curl into his stomach.

The plan was simple:

During the night of the party, while everyone else is occupied, Zero and Hiro would sneak into Shizuka's 'lair', where they would capture her in secret.

Hiro found out she had actually been missing for some time, much like Rido.

Was it a common thing for Purebloods to go into hiding? Did no one look for them? Or were they even able to be found?

So Zero and Hiro shared glances, waiting for the clock to hurry up.

Did he tell Kaname?

Haha.

No.

He was surprised Zero even agreed to his madness. It took a lot of convincing, that's for sure.

The party, while the venomous thought of fighting another Pureblood crossed his mind dozens of times, was very fun.

Takuma has brought him into a dance circle, which was full of laughter and perhaps too much flirting on Takuma's part. Senri and Hiro shook their heads in silence at this, hidden smiles coating their faces.
