Tonight, even without the Moon

“Prove it. Be my lover.”
Zero’s heart was crushed when those words left Kuran Kaname’s lips.
Yuuki had to choose, and who she would choose would never be him.

He knew it from the first time he saw them together. He envied them. He secretly wanted their happiness for his own. He secretly wanted them gone.
Seeing the way she greeted him every time they met struck chords in his blackened heart – every sweet nothing he whispered into her ear, every timid blush she allowed on her fair cheeks. It made his heart ache so badly.

Don’t. Not in front of me.
He wanted to tell them to just disappear, to stop showing him what he would never be destined to have.

...love.

He wanted to kill them. Make them suffer the pain he’d had to go through alone.
Alone.
The word scared him.
He didn’t want to be alone.
It tore him apart slowly. He though he could win against the loneliness, though he could live with just watching her be happy. He wanted to be a leech – feeding off her happiness – the spring in her step, the smile that was constantly plastered to her face. He wanted to consume it all.
But he couldn’t.
“I’m leaving. You don’t need me here.”
He wanted to leave them and their happiness. He wanted to be welcomed back into the arms of cold solitude and be a void.
Yuuki looked at him earnestly, as if begging him not to leave her alone. He wanted to laugh. This was what she wanted, wasn’t it? Her precious Kaname–sempai. Her now beloved koi-bito.
“You don’t want me here.” He didn’t know whether he was trying to convince himself or trying to convince her.
He looked at the Kuran coldly, careful not to let the emotions inside him slip through his gaze.
He took in a small breath.
“Take care of her.”
Kuran Kaname smirked, a beautiful expression on a beautiful face.
“You’re not the only person she counts on, Kiryuu-kun.”
Zero’s chest hurt, but he stopped himself from moving to clutch at the ache. No. He wouldn’t show them weakness.
He turned on his heel and walked away, breaking out into a run as he reached the courtyard.
The last thing Kuran Kaname said to him nearly shattered his glass armor. He was blatantly denied that place for Yuuki. She didn’t need him. No one did. No one would. He slowed down as he reached the Day Dorms, entering his room he slammed the door shut, pressing himself against the oak, letting all the mental fatigue consume him. He was alone. He was always alone. He’d done it before, he could do it again. Ichiru wasn’t there anymore. His parents weren’t there anymore. Yuuki wasn’t there anymore.
He’d told himself this would happen. He’d told himself not to get too attached. He’d told himself to exist for the sole purpose of revenge.
But the Yuuki happened.
She forced him at gun point to open his heart to her – forced him to love her.
And now, she was going to abandon him like everyone else did.
...For the same reason.

“...Bloody Vampire...”

He made his way to the shower, stripping off his clothing as he walked, throwing them haphazardly around the place, silence being his only friend.
He’d heard a faint knocking at his door but ignored it, stepping onto clean white tiles, he started the water running.

“It’s dangerous to let your guard down, Kiryuu-kun.”
The silver-haired boy whipped his head around, pulling a small knife from behind the soap rack, holding it out in front on him, ready to attack.

Kuran Kaname stood near the sink, a small smirk gracing his features as he regarded the hunter from head to toe.
“Isn’t it a normal human’s reaction to cover oneself first?” he took a step closer, while Zero took a step backward, the hand holding the knife trembling slightly.
“...then again, you’re not normal, nor are you human.”
Zero hardened his glare.
“What do you want? Shouldn’t you be with Yuuki?”
Garnet eyes regarded him with interest.
“She wanted to come check on you, but I volunteered.”
Zero wanted to laugh.
“And why the hell would you do that?”
Kaname took another step forward, his eyes trained on Zero’s own lilac ones.
“I want to know what you’re hiding under that clay mask of yours.”
Zero growled, twirling the knife into an offensive position, he lunged for the pureblood, only to be caught by both arms and pushed back into the shower stall, the knife falling to the ground harmlessly.
The uniform the Kuran wore was getting soaked.

Zero struggled, pissed off and breaking.
“What the fuck do you want from me?!” he breathed, too strained mentally and physically to struggle anymore. Kaname secretly enjoyed his power over the younger male – how vulnerable the almighty Kiryuu looked being held captive by him. The Kuran was towering over him, the shower spray rained down on the taller boy’s back, an expression that Zero had never seen before on his fine features.

It was....lust?
Zero wanted to laugh again.

“You’re a greedy bastard, Kuran. Is Yuuki not enough? You want her unwilling best friend too?” he leaned forward, chuckling darkly, taunting the Vampire.
“...Are you going to rape me? Shove your -“
Kaname’s lips pressed against his own none too gently, before he shoved a uniform clad leg between the fairer boy’s thighs, and moving closer.
“...Yes.”
Zero’s gaze hardened, fair brows furrowing as he steadied his breathing.
“...You’re fucking cruel, Kuran.”
The older boy chuckled.
“You’re not very kind yourself, Kiryuu.” The fair-haired boy felt the pureblood’s fangs scrape against his tattoo, a hot tongue following their path, a large cool hand splayed against his abdomen, moving upward to pinch at his nipples.
The hunter held his breath at the mix of pain and pleasure, and he felt the Vampire’s erection brush against his inner thigh, and he started to respond, despite his mind telling to start screaming.
“Kuran....” The hand that was attending to his chest down brushed the tip of his member, sliding down the length of it, stroking it until he was fully erect. The younger boy had to cover his mouth to prevent the embarrassing sounds from leaving his lips.
The other hand that was holding him captive was gone.
The pureblood turned to turn off the water, before gracefully sinking to his knees on the wet floor, a soft pink tongue flicking out to lick his fangs.
Garnet eyes regarded lilac ones.
“I expect you to return the favour, Kiryuu.”
Soft lips enveloped the tip of member, a searing wet heat exerted enough pressure to crush all the sanity left in the boy.
“W-What are you doing?” Zero was panicking – he’d never done anything like this before – he’d never felt so hot in his entire life. His hand had never made him feel like this.
The pureblood pulled away for a while, blowing onto the still moist organ just to hear the other boy hiss and the sensation.
“A virgin, Kiryuu? I never would’ve thought, with everything that comes out of your mouth.” Kaname flashed him a smirk before running that tongue up the side of the fairer boy’s penis, swirling his tongue at the tip before taking the whole thing into his mouth again.
The choking sounds the boy was making was dreadfully amusing.
The boy came quickly, into his mouth, the pure blood spitting out onto the tiled floor beside him, the Vampire pulled away, standing up and undoing his belt, pulling down the zipper with no less grace than before, he gave Zero a look.
“What are you waiting for?”
Zero looked confused and dazed, his fair cheeks flushed and beautiful, his hair wet and plastered to his perfect face.
“...what?”
Kaname smirked.
“Suck me off, Kiryuu.”
The silver-haired boy’s eyes widened a fraction, his glare intensifying by two fold, as if what Kaname had said was the ultimate insult to his being.
Kaname was getting impatient.
“I told you I expected you to return the favour, Kiryuu. Or are you not up to the task? Only good enough to receive and not to give?”
Zero scoffed, not wanting to submit yet not wanting to backdown from the challenge.
He wordlessly sunk to his knees, glaring as Kaname brushed the tip of his dripping member against the side of Zero’s cheek, leaving a fine trail of pre-cum.
“Suck, Kiryuu.”
The boy complied grudgingly, trying to do what the Kuran had done for him just minutes ago, relaxing his throat to allow the Vampire to go deeper, dipping his tongue into the slit, he licked up all the pearly white liquid slowly, trying to ignore the soft sighs that the Vampire was making, an occasional slip of a moan.
The Vampire’s hand was now in his hair.
“...Faster, Kiryuu.”
The silver-haired boy decided to take his time, before he nearly gagged as Kaname shoved himself deeper into his mouth instinctively. He pulled away to catch his breath.
“What the hell, Kuran!”
“I told you to go faster. Use your hands.”
Zero glared, tentatively licking the tip again, his time using his hands to pump the organ as well, enjoying the Vampire’s hiss of approval.
“Kiryuu....ah...”
He did this for another two minutes before the Vampire released his seed into his mouth, some of it getting onto his face as he pulled away from shock.
He spat out the cum in his mouth, disturbed that he actually like the sour taste of it, reaching to wipe off the stuff on his face when a hand stopped him.
“...You look good like that, Kiryuu. Leave it.”
Zero scoffed.
“You’re sick.”
Kaname pulled him unceremoniously to his feet, pushing him face-first against the glass of the shower stall.
“What the-” His legs were forcibly spread, and he felt something cold and wet press against his anus.
“What are you do - aaahh!” He cried out as something slid into him suddenly, before sliding almost out before it was shoved in deeper. It hurt. It burned his insides.
“Ku....ran........Nnh...” he felt another finger join the first one, this time both fingers scissored to stretch him open wider.
“....Fuck...” It was actually starting to feel good.
A third finger was shoved inside him roughly, all three fingers building a rhythm as they slid in and out of him, brushing something inside him that set his body on fire.
“Aaahh...Nnh....Stop...”
He couldn’t control it. He was scared.
He was losing all semblance of sanity.
Kaname’s breath was hot against his ear.
“You have a beautiful voice, Kiryuu.”
The fingers were removed, and Zero was left panting, empty, dripping and dizzy.
He didn’t expect something else to replace them so soon.
Kaname slid into him in one smooth thrust, pulling the boy’s slim hips against his own, hissing as the muscles around him tightened in shock, his hand reaching forward to cup the boy’s chin, sliding a finger into an open mouth.
“Aahh......FUCK....Kuran.....Nnh!!” Zero’s nails scraped against the glass, he couldn’t breathe properly – the Kuran was making his senses go haywire.
“Kiryuu....” Kaname said quietly, seating himself to the hilt, panting softly.
“...Relax, or I’m going to tear you into two.”
Zero snorted, trying to get his breathing under control.
“...What the fuck do you care...? This....” The fairer boy let his forehead touch the cool glass.
“...This is just a quick fuck anyway.” Kaname had pulled out and thrust in again, forcing a choked gasp from the younger boy.
“Is that what it really is?” Kaname’s hand reached for his neglected organ.
“....Or is that what you want this to be, Kiryuu?” The boy cried out as Kaname thrust into him a bit harder than needed, stroking him at the same time.
Zero was crumbling against the glass.
He couldn’t form a coherent sentence in his head while the older boy was moving so fast, he couldn’t say no, he couldn’t understand or comprehend the immense pleasure he got from getting nailed in the ass by a Pure Blood Vampire – it was breaking all convention in his mind.
The pain was making him tear, though he’d been through so much more.
Kaname quickened his pace, trying to resist the urge of sinking his fangs into that fair white neck, but losing quickly.
He pressed his lips against the hunter’s shoulder, licking his way up the juncture between that perfect shoulder and neck, breaking the delicate skin with a gentleness that surprised even himself.
Zero hissed when he felt the prick, his vision starting to blur. The hot and uncomfortable tugging on his nerves as the pure blood drank from him almost made his legs give out – if the taller boy wasn’t holding him, he would have collapsed. The sound of slick skin against skin resounded in the otherwise silent bathroom, accompanied by their heavy breaths and Zero’s soft grunting. The blood Kaname spilled ran down the fairer boy’s back, beautifully and deliciously, and Kaname wondered why he didn’t do this earlier.
“Kiryuu....” The pure blood lapped at the open wound, the twitching of the muscles around him told him that the younger boy was nearing his limit.
“The silver-haired boy cried out as he coated both Kaname’s hand and his own with cum, leaving a mark on the glass, his muscles clenching on Kaname’s shaft as he rode out his climax, and it took only two more thrusts for Kaname to release his seed into the hunter, unintentionally biting into a fair shoulder as he did so.
Zero stifled a yell; his insides were set on fire as Kaname filled him, nearly passing out from the intensity. The pureblood didn’t pull out of him yet.
Zero turned to look at the Vampire tiredly, a little annoyed.
“...What more do you want?”
The Vampire regarded him silently, before gently pulling out of him. Zero hissed as the hot liquid slid out of him and trailed down his thighs slowly, as if reminding him of his stupidity and weakness.
“I want you, Kiryuu Zero.”
Zero was about to turn on the shower again, but he stopped.
“...what?” Zero turned to look at the Vampire in disbelief.
“I said I want you.”
“...You can’t.” He turned on the shower.
“I seldom don’t get what I want.”
“You have Yuuki.”
“I want you too.”
“...That’s absurd and selfish.”
“You want me to want you, don’t you, Kiryuu?”
“...Don’t make it sound as if it’s all for me!”
Zero threw water at the pure blood in anger, because he had no time to reach anything else.
The silver-haired boy was panting as he leaned against the tiled wall.
“I want you, Kiryuu.” Kaname repeated, he was getting tired of this.
“....You don’t want me, Kuran. You want a fuck buddy. Go look for your lackeys – Aidou or something.” Zero tried to reason, his head cooling down. He believed himself.
Kaname frowned.
“You don’t seem to understand, Kiryuu.” The pure blood cornered him against the wall.
“I want Kiryuu Zero, the Vampire Hunter, the Guardian, the single last of the Kiryuu blood. I want you to be mine.”
Zero glared.
“You don’t seem to understand, Kuran Kaname. You have Yuuki. Cherish her. You can’t have us both-”
“I can, and I will.”
“Full of confidence, Kuran? What makes you think I want you?”
The Kuran looked thoughtful.
“That doesn’t matter, Kiryuu.” The pure blood took a step back, away from the hunter.
“...I do not feel the lust I have for you for Yuuki; or for anyone else, for that matter.”
He wanted to slap the pureblood.
“It doesn’t work that way, Kuran. Get out.”
The Kuran pressed him against the shower wall again.
“...Stop pushing me away, Kiryuu-kun.”
Zero’s heart sped up – he was losing control of the situation. Kaname leaned in, running a hot tongue along the shell of his ear.
The fair hand holding onto the Vampire’s sleeve was clutching so hard his knuckles were white.
Kaname paused, pulling away just enough to look into scared lilac eyes.
“...You’re afraid.”
The hunter didn’t answer, but he felt the body against him stiffen.
The Vampire awkwardly pulled the other boy into an embrace, pressing his lips against the silver-haired male’s temple, kissing his way down to the still-fresh bite wound.
He could feel the hunter’s quickening breaths; his heart beat a little faster.
“I promise you, Kiryuu.”
The silver-haired boy’s ears pricked.

“I promise you I will ease your suffering.”

A single tear slid down Zero’s cheek.
