CROSSED. A VAMPIRE KNIGHT//TOKYO GHOUL FANFICTION.

[3] oh, to punch Kaname in his beautiful face

I made it all the way back to the sun dorm and into the building before Zero finally caught me, punching my shoulder, and half attacking me. I laughed it off as we both walked to our dorm room.

Thanks to the headmasters uh... easily persuadable personality, Zero and I managed to get a room that bunked together. It's my favourite place to be when I want to chill, which lets be real, is like 24/7.

We shared a double bed together with our respective sides of the room decorated drastically differently. I mean Zero's side was the absolute bare minimum but my side? Albums, art, random posters and so many photos.

Ever since Yuki got a polaroid camera for me a few years ago, I've been taking as many photos as I can. I would say I've taken upwards of 2000 give or take. Buying all that polaroid film has bled my wallet dry, to the point where I've taken a break from it, or I'm going to be broke for the next rest of my life.

Zero mumbled incoherent garble under his breath and went over to his closet, changing into his uniform, to which I did the same. It wasn't until I saw Zero pulling up the arm slip that us prefects have to wear that I realise mine is completely, and utterly... not here.

'Zero please tell me you have a spare one of that,' Zero peered around the corner at me, and honestly I couldn't tell if he was disappointed, trying to figure out where his spare was, or contemplating whether or not he actually should have shot me last night. I hope it's the second option.

'I gave it to Yuki.'

'What! No! I have no idea where mine is...' I whined, not wanting to have to go to the girls side of the dorms to steal Zero's spare from Yuki.

I began to do what I like to call, frantically searching the entire room and probably creating a bigger problem than the one I started with. It's a bit of a speciality of mine.

At first Zero just watched me, throwing clothes everywhere, pushing huge piles of my hoarder junk to the side, nearly flipping the bed upside down, but I don't blame him if he took pity on me because he came to my rescue.

We searched the entire room together, top to bottom. I mean it was like a full strip search to find hidden drugs, even the curtains were given no mercy. It wasn't until I was about to give up that Zero took one last look under the bed.

I told him that he'd already checked under there almost five times but he swore to me up and down that the last place he saw it was close to the foot of the bed.

He got down on his stomach and shone the flashlight underneath and what do you know?

The slip is hiding behind one of the leg posts that was holding up the bed.

He tossed it to me, and before I could start crying again, left the room, maybe so he wouldn't be late to class but the more likely option was to go hide in the forest so he can skip class.

What seemed like eons of getting dressed had finally stopped and I was ready to walk over to school.

It took me a moment to realise that I could smell Zero still. That's a weird thing I'm gonna have to get used to. I ran across the bridge as fast as I could, praying to whatever god that was listening, that I'm not going to get lectured for being late on my first day back.

I finally stumble my way to the gate area to see a large crowd of day class students swarming the gate. It took me a second too long to realise that the night class students were about to go back to their dorm, and that I'm in fact, early as all fuck. The night class had a lecture before school officially started, which went way later than their normal classes, which I forgot about.
