Author Notes: So much for a one shot that turned out to be a two shot and is now not even that! -sighs- I have a couple more ideas on this pairing so the entire story will probably end up as five or six chapters but please be patient because I have other fics also on the boil… that are about to boil over, actually! LOL... More comments in my profile.

Again, I've based these two wonderful guys off Blackened Wing's fantabulous stories and beautiful characterisations, so it helps not to confuse them with the Kaname and Zero of my other fics (Hold Me and No Matter What). All I know is that both versions of Kaname and Zero would definitely hunt me down if they come across each other :D

Anyhow, hope you like this chapter... it's a lemon by the way :D I would love hearing from you so do drop off a review if you like what you've read. I'm still kinda new to writing about yaoi. Many thanks!

- Chapter Start -

It was evening. Kaname was awake and in the kitchen getting a drink of water when he heard the key scraping in the front door lock. Zero was back from his classes, he could sense it was the hunter. Beside, the only other person who had the key to the luxury penthouse was the cleaning lady who came in once a week and definitely not in the evenings.

Kaname moved silently to the arched entrance of the kitchen and hid a smile when the silver haired vampire came in – Zero was wearing Armani after all. The pureblood made a mental note to get a couple more in the hunter's exact size, which was a size bigger than his. Zero looked good in them…

"So - how were classes today?" he asked, erasing all traces of the smile from his face.

Zero's lips quirked in a wry smile as he looked at Kaname. "Murder" he said dryly. The pureblood was framed in the doorway dressed only in his silk pyjama pants again, looking like he'd just only gotten out of bed. The disheveled waves of long dark hair and bare chest made Zero's body tighten instantly with desire, and he knew it showed in his eyes because he saw an answering flash of heat in the dark eyes looking back at him. This want, this... need... for each other - why was it never enough?

"Come here, you…" murmured Kaname, his lips curving in a sexy smile but Zero was already walking towards him, eyes locked with his, dropping his books absently on the stylish glass topped dining table as he passed it.

The kiss was slow… but satisfyingly thorough. A familiar thrill of excitement raced through Zero as their parted lips met. Was it different now? He supposed it was… Because in the past, he'd always hesitated a little before giving into his desire for Kaname, wondering if this relationship was actually going anywhere. It seemed impossible that their different worlds could ever mix, impossible that he would come to fall in love with his enemy. Yes - impossible that two straight guys could ever fall for each other. And even after the bond, in spite of the pureblood's tender caring and warmth, in spite of his expert love making, Zero hadn't really known for sure how Kaname had truly felt about him.

But after last night's party, they'd finally gotten it out into the open, after a certain daring initiative by Zero. Neither of them thought they'd actually say it... But they had. Last night and this morning as well.

Zero didn't hold back on his kiss this time. Kaname didn't hold back either… but then, he'd never hesitated with anything else. That thought made Zero want to smile, even as his tongue found Kaname's and twisted around it lovingly, feeling rather than hearing the low growl deep in the graceful throat of the pureblood.

After a long heated moment, when they'd reacquainted themselves once more with each other's taste and feel and had to part for air, Kaname's hands rested possessively around Zero's waist. "You're wearing my jeans after all…" he murmured teasingly, smiling into his lover's eyes, the silvery amethyst hue so beautiful.

Zero gave a mock scowl, feeling familiar heat creeping up his cheeks even as he laced his fingers behind the pureblood's neck, feeling the silky dark hair brushing over them as he lightly caressed the warm and equally silky skin. Their bodies were pressed flushed against each other from the waist down and Zero pressed forwards lightly, getting an answering thrust in return.

Zero had deliberately chosen the plainest pair of jeans he could find and he'd deliberately left Kaname's shirt hanging out as well, to hide the designer labels at the waistband and back pocket. Not that it had gone unnoticed - a couple of remarks he'd gotten during class had him clenching his hands into tight fists.

"I wouldn't have to if you hadn't torn my new pair this morning…" he growled back but without any real annoyance in his voice as the pureblood's slim hips continued to massage him sensuously.

As he'd fully expected, Kaname laughed, dipping his head to brush warm lips over the hunter's jaw line, slowly working his way down his neck to his bite area, making Zero's breath hitch softly in his throat again – God, how Kaname loved hearing the involuntary sounds his lover made… "You know I don't mind, Zero, wear anything of mine anytime…"

Zero arched his neck as he ran his fingertips lightly down Kaname's spine, loving the feel of that warm silky skin against his fingers, feeling the slight shiver in the lean frame against his. "Uhm… really?" he murmured as he waited for the pureblood's fangs to pierce him again, his eyes half closing in anticipation. But Kaname didn't, and the skilled lips slowly traveled up his neck again, past his jaw, teeth nibbling lightly, and onto his ear, tongue playing teasingly with his earring. Zero's eyes closed fully, his mouth finding Kaname's own bite area instinctively and teasing it with his own tongue, eliciting more shivers from the pureblood.

"Kaname… not that I'm not enjoying this but… are you…ahh… hungry?" managed Zero rather breathlessly after a few deliciously shivery moments. If he didn't ask now, goodness knows when they would end up having dinner on the table. He'd already stocked up the fridge for a good meal tonight, since Kaname would be flying off early tomorrow morning on a business trip out of town, and would be gone for two whole weeks.

Zero tried not to think of that. Not now.

"I am" admitted Kaname but he couldn't seem to let go of Zero and was now busy tracing the outline of the hunter's other ear with his tongue. He was rewarded with another soft moan as strong hands slid from his back to his front, sweeping over his lean stomach and moving upwards, fingers brushing lightly over his nipples. "Cooking needs time, you know…" Zero retorted but his tone lacked any amount of annoyance because Kaname's elegant hands had now wandered under the shirt he was wearing and was roaming over his own heaving chest with intimate familiarity.

"Plenty of time to do that…" muttered the pureblood distractedly, finally reaching down and tugging his own shirt off Zero for the second time that day. He wasn't wearing a shirt, why should Zero?

The hunter grinned and shook his head ruefully as he lifted up his arms to comply. He almost didn't notice the pureblood's skillful fingers undoing the button on his jeans, moaning softly when equally skilled lips latched onto one of his nipples, the pureblood's tongue teasing the hardened tip wickedly.

"Oh, you have… patience enough, when it comes… to your… own jeans" Zero muttered breathlessly, unable to stop from arching his body into Kaname's touch as the wicked mouth sucked him in deep. "Aah..." he groaned, his knees practically buckling under him. Kaname slid down the zipper of his jeans and reached one hand in, his other arm tightening around Zero's waist to support his weight as he lightly slid knowing fingers up and down the hunter's aching arousal, making Zero breathe raggedly through his teeth.

The pureblood lifted his head to direct a dazzlingly wicked grin up at Zero. "Oh, you want to see me wreck this pair as well?" he asked, releasing him to place both hands on either side of the opened zipper now, long fingers tightening on the blue denim. And he would too… "No – don't!" Zero hurriedly closed his own hands over Kaname's. "You have any idea how overpriced they are? Honestly!"

Kaname just grinned again - Zero was so adorable like this… Straightening up, he stopped any further protests from him with a light kiss, sucking the hunter's lower lip into his mouth and allowing his fangs to just graze them slightly as he slid his fingers into the snug waistband of the jeans, cupping Zero's buttocks lovingly for a moment before slowly and teasingly working the material past Zero's hips, sliding his palms against the firm hips at the same time.

"I-Idiot…" growled Zero into the kiss, his own hands trembling a little as they glided from Kaname's shoulders down to either side of his lean waist. The loving endearment was rather intelligible but Kaname's chuckle deep in his throat said he understood. For some unfathomable reason, Zero calling him an idiot amused him as deeply now as it did before and he murmured "I love you, Zero" against the hunter's flushed lips. So very, very much…

Zero kissed him hungrily, his hands slowly pulling down Kaname's silk pants at the same time and pausing every two seconds to caress heated flesh as he did so. "I love you, Kaname" he said, his voice breathless with anticipation before resuming the kiss. More than you know…

Kaname stepped out of his pants quickly then finally broke their heated kiss. "Better get to the bed before we have to make do with the counter top again, huh?" he grinned suggestively, before scooping the hunter up in his arms. Zero rolled his eyes – Kaname loved acting like Prince Charming sometimes. Zero could walk but he had to admit it would be ungraceful with the jeans still tangled around his knees, so he relented, his fingers reaching for one of Kaname's nipples, so conveniently located now... "Make do? Oh, you didn't like what happened this morning?" he asked innocently as his fingers pinched lightly.

"Mmm… we'll do that later" answered Kaname distractedly, gasping a little as Zero's fingernail scraped lightly across the hardened nub, he knew it drove Kaname crazy and the pureblood knew it too, dropping his burden rather unceremoniously onto the rumpled bed before following him down immediately.

"Kaname, ever heard of making a bed?" asked Zero, pausing in his teasing as he took in the extremely messy state of the red silk sheets. Obviously not…

"No" Kaname was more interested in pulling his own jeans off the hunter's long legs. His blood was racing heatedly through his body, seeing and touching Zero, loving and reveling in his familiar, delicious scent and his toned body. His heart was pounding with desire, he wanted Zero now.

Dinner could wait. Anything else could wait too. Tossing the jeans behind him, Kaname settled between Zero's thighs, his hands caressing the soft inner skin and making Zero arch his hips even as his knees parted willingly under the magic of the pureblood's hands.

Kaname paused, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Zero. The hunter had raised himself on his elbows, his hair mussed, his eyes glazed with desire. "Kaname..." he murmured. His blood was on fire, his body was on fire too, burning for Kaname to take him again.

Then the pureblood leaned forward, nibbling his neck again as long skillful fingers started probing Zero, making him tense as he winced a little. "Ah, wait a sec..." he protested, shifting his hips slightly. Kaname lifted his head from the hunter's neck, reading the slight apprehension and pain in the silvery eyes looking up at him. Realisation hit a moment later.

"Still sore?" he asked.

Zero nodded once, colour shading his pale cheeks once more – he wasn't as used to saying these things out loud, because what they had, what they did together… well, he still considered the question extremely intimate…

But he wished he wasn't in pain - he wanted Kaname to make love to him again, even though they'd made love so many times last night, and this morning… but classes earlier really had been murder. Zero had to endure the sharp nagging ache he felt standing up and sitting down and he'd lost count of the number of groans and curses he'd had to stifle during the course of today…

His and Kaname's healing rates were just different. His was faster than a human's… just not as incredibly fast as a pureblood's. That was just the way it was. Kaname nodded, running a finger along the attractively flushed cheek below him, feeling the warm heat under the skin, before raising himself, bracing his weight on one hand on the pillow beside Zero's head. With his other, he reached down between their thighs.

Zero moaned and arched up as skillful fingers curled around him, his eyes fluttering shut but snapping open a second later. His arousal was now pressed up against Kaname, and the pureblood had shifted upwards a little, still looking down at Zero.

"Ka-Kaname?" he uttered, surprised.

"Take me, Zero" rasped the pureblood as he lowered himself onto his knees, on either side of Zero, then rocked back on his heels, still grasping his lover firmly in his hand.

The silver eyes widened in surprise - for Kaname to ask him to take him was even more rare than Zero asking Kaname outright to make love to him and the hunter paused in surprise.

"Take you?" he murmured, as if he couldn't quite believe his ears.

Perhaps he should do this more often, thought Kaname with unexpected amusement, mixed with the slight unease he always felt on the rare occasions their positions were reversed. Even though Zero was never as rough with him as Kaname himself sometimes was, even though Zero never made him feel inferior in any way… just being on the receiving end made the pureblood feel… a little… well, dominated. So most of the time it was he who took Zero, it seemed to happen… naturally… and Zero enjoyed it, the brief or otherwise pain he felt more than compensated by Kaname's loving and expert attention that would almost drive him out of his mind, not to mention the extremely satisfying release that inevitably followed.

I really should do this more often, thought Kaname, amused by Zero's surprise. A slow seductive smile curved the pureblood's lips now. "Or have you forgotten how to?" he teased, chuckling as Zero's flush grew deeper. He was so adorable like this and Kaname couldn't resist leaning in to kiss him warmly before lifting his head to look at him again. The look in his eyes was warm and tender. "If I take you now Zero, it'll take you longer to heal…"

Before Zero could answer, Kaname started lowering himself down, making the ex-human protest again. "Kaname, you're not.. I haven't… wait!" He shifted his hips, his hands gripping the pureblood's arms, trying to stop him.

But the pureblood didn't wait – he didn't want to. Kaname pushed down even more, burning to feel Zero inside him, aching to feel their bodies joining once more. He exhaled sharply - pain shot up his spine as his body started to give way, but he didn't cease.

Almost frantic, Zero's knees clamped tight around Kaname's hips, then he braced himself and swung them over, reversing their positions on the bed, making Kaname tumble back onto the pillows.

"I said wait, damnit" growled Zero, withdrawing from Kaname with a quick movement and making the pureblood groan in frustration, his own hips arching up now.

"I want you, Zero! Now!"

Zero shook his head, getting into the game. "Huh uh…" he shook his head and grinned down at Kaname. "Not just yet" he said, making the pureblood growl at him.

Reaching down, Zero grasped Kaname's hard length in one hand as he slipped the fingers of his other hand in his mouth then started to prep him. He knew he wasn't as skilled as Kaname was, so he went slower… gentler… almost teasingly… making the pureblood groan again as his hips thrust upwards helplessly, his jaw clenched.

The sweet torture seemed to last forever as Zero's fingers went deeper and deeper, stretching him but in a deliciously slow manner that had Kaname threatening a few times to take him hard, pain or no pain. Zero ignored that but he loved hearing the small gasps that shuddered out from the pureblood's sculptured lips. Finally, completely aroused by the sight of a panting and perspiring Kaname on the red silk sheets, Zero eased his fingers out and spread his palms over the pureblood's knees, bending them forwards until they almost touched that heaving, glistening chest.

Holding onto his lover's gaze, Zero braced his own knees on the bed and pushed forward. Kaname's breath hissed out between his teeth, his body more unused to penetration than Zero's, despite the loving preparation. Zero move slowly, feeling himself slowly being sheathed in the tight heat of Kaname's body, enjoying the look of pleasure on the pureblood's beautiful face as he went a little deeper, reveling in the silken heat shielding him…

Until he lost his balance.

Zero's knees slid backwards on the silk sheets and he fell heavily onto Kaname, the unexpected movement seating himself deep within his lover in one long quick thrust. His hands had kept Kaname's knees bent and the pureblood cried out in surprised pain and pleasure, body tensing as Zero filled him completely, striking the special place within him, completely by accident.

"Oh, sorry!" gasped Zero, finding himself lying on top of Kaname now, his face buried in the pale neck. Hurriedly, the hunter struggled to sit up, releasing Kaname's knees at the same time, but the pureblood just chuckled and reached up to kiss Zero, trapping him with his arms. "Don't be, that felt good…" he said.

Zero looked down at him in surprise but tried to withdraw from him but Kaname's knees and thighs gripped him even tighter around his waist. "Don't stop, either…"

Zero's eyebrows shot up as he looked down questioningly at Kaname, who nodded encouragingly. The hunter paused then a slow smile curved his lips and he nodded. "All right…" he murmured. He braced his hands on the pillows on either side of Kaname's head, then pushed forward. Kaname thrust up, exhaling sharply as Zero filled him deeply again.

Zero rocked slowly at first, then faster… and faster still. His sweat slicked torso slid against Kaname's chest and arousal as he thrust forward each time. Kaname groaned, arching his hips upwards, meeting each of Zero's moves with equal fervour, their breathing coming in short gasps as their bodies heaved against each other, wanting to be closer still, wanting to be joined more and more deeply each time.

Kaname's hands gripped Zero's shoulders as tightly as his thighs gripped the hunter's waist, urging him on. Zero's buttocks flexed as he complied, slamming hard into him, looking down at Kaname, seeing the sheer pleasure in the glazed dark eyes and taking fierce pride in that.

Perspiration gleamed on their flushed skin, droplets beading and running down as their heavy pants filled the air mixed with the scent of their arousal, their movements becoming more and more frantic with each passing minute. Zero thrust deeply each time, aware now of how to give Kaname pleasure, angling his hips each time for maximum effect, gazing fixedly down at him, determined to give him nothing but absolute sensual bliss with each satisfyingly hard thrust.

"Zero" murmured Kaname breathlessly, his blood racing, muscles tightening, tension coiling tightly in his lower abdomen, sweeping him closer and closer to the edge. Zero, never let me go…

And then it happened - his body tightened unbearably for one heart stopping unbearable moment as he arched off the bed, pushing hard against Zero before his world exploded and he collapsed back onto the sheets, every inch of his body convulsing in deep shudders, waves of pleasure rippling out from his very core to his fingertips.

Zero drank in the intensely appealing picture Kaname made, his eyes shut tight, writhing in the throes of ecstasy. The pureblood's body was still squeezing him relentlessly, and Zero's body reacted, falling helplessly into his own release as he continued thrusting deeply into the pureblood, lost in the delicious pounding waves that swept over him, crying out at the sheer sensuous pleasure that held him helpless in its grip.

Finally, spent and shivering, Zero fell onto Kaname, feeling the pureblood's strong, loving arms wrapping tightly around him. Kaname, never leave me behind…

Long blissful minutes passed in which heartbeats slowed down as bodies slowly cooled. Eventually, Zero opened his eyes, his senses soothed by their mingled scents as much as the slowly steadying sound of Kaname's heartbeat under his ear. The hunter smiled softly as he lifted his head. "You still hungry?" he asked.

Kaname's eyes flickered open, feeling exhausted and sated for now, his fingers continuing to trace lazy circles on Zero's back. "Mmm… for what?" he asked, and the glint in his eyes told the hunter he may not be actually talking about food…

Zero grinned. "You're insatiable" he informed him.

Kaname smiled back. "You're delicious" he said, watching for that adorable tint of colour that would shade Zero's cheeks. The hunter scowled and got up, swinging his legs towards the floor. For some reason, Kaname loved saying embarrassing things like that… he really should learn to control his own reaction.

Zero ignored the loving laughter behind him as he grabbed his jeans and escaped to the kitchen before Kaname caught him again and they ended up with supper instead of dinner.
