LOVE OF IMITATION An OC Vampire Knight One - Scene Fanfiction
“You’ve been quite disturbed. I just noticed.”
Empress blinked her eyes when she heard those words, being quite curious of what her fiancé said. She looked at the white haired male, making an innocent – looking expression. “What makes you say that, Leon?”, she asked, her voice low and of respect since she acknowledges the person in front of her as a brother figure – not her husband-to-be.
The white haired lad was sipping a bit of his tea on a porcelain cup, looking at the window. “I know you, woman. I know you.” His words were stressing, though they were slight hints of worries, since the guy opens up on her too much – thus her being someone special; maybe a family member or a sister – like figure. Leon sighed a little, feeling the hot surface of his drink, and looked at the liquid, while having a conversation with her. “You make a great liar, Empress. I… just don’t like you doing something that might hurt you to the end.” A small frown he gave, though it wasn’t obvious.
The red head stood up from her chair, her long hair following the tilt of her head, her face making a warmer smile. The lad knew she was walking towards him, but still observed the liquid that he is drinking. Once she was distant with him, he tilts his head and sees her, quite shocked in a standard manner to see that smile. ‘I really don’t like seeing a person smile though inside she’s not’, he didn’t take his eyes off her. “… Don’t smile if you don’t mean to.” he spoke again. “Besides, it is getting creepier than your sadism.”
“… Leon.” She mentions his name, while still retaining that smile. It made the other one quite uttered, and couldn’t even look at her this time, avoiding that face. She didn’t frown nor got blank, but was amused of the reaction that he gave. “Are you worried about me that much?” she suddenly asks.
“… Do you have to ask that?” he simply replies, her getting the point which made her giggle. “What’s funny?” His face turned slightly dark, since he was thinking that she was just fooling her. He cannot even drink properly because of that. ‘This woman, what the hell is running inside her head and she keeps on getting strange these days?’ he was bothered, to be honest.
She stopped chuckling. “Nothing. I find it just cute, and I figured that fooling you was really interesting.”
“Woman, don’t … play with me.” He was a bit annoyed when she said that. “I have to admit that you are driving me crazy sometimes because of that twisted mind of yours.” After saying those words, he took the chance to sip a bit of his tea, since it went warm and not as hot as earlier.
Many times Leon and Empress were contradicting each other, simply because the male was much civilized and part of the Vampire Council at such young age; the female wasn’t majestic, but practically rowdy, hyper, free – spirited, independent, and truly mysterious to the many hiding the fact that she’s the head of the Vampire Mafia, being a woman and breaking the tradition. She was exceptional as well. What’s worst is that these two aristocrats were engaged. Speaking of engagement…
“Are you being like that because we are engaged?” he suddenly asks, changing the topic. “I don’t plan on marrying my own sister.” He was referring to her since he acknowledges her as one, and the lad has another love interest which his ‘sister’ respects.
She responded to that after blinking several. “So do I.” She placed one hand towards her chest while she speaks without flaw, closing her eyes. “I was just bothered by a lot of things, and you don’t have to know them all, Leon.” This made the male look at her more with a bad leer, seeing and knowing that she’s been hiding things from him – and he hates those kinds of things. “I only wanted you to enjoy your life as a student, and with the person you love; that is all. I want my elder brother to be happy.” She gave another smile with that, and for once, she looked like a lady.
He paused for a few seconds just to look at that. This time, he just recognized that her smile was different. “…” He was even speechless and much troubled, having small blushes on his cheeks. Faking out a cough, he held tightly on his cup while placing it down with the saucer. ‘Empress, why…’ he just thought for awhile before reverting to another compliment, just to avoid her last sentence, which he found quite… warming. “For once, you looked like a lovely lady.” He commented with a small nod.
She didn’t like that. No, she didn’t like that compliment at all. She ranted also, since she doesn’t want to be addressed as lady though she obviously is (and she was used to be called as ‘boss’ or something manly instead). Her face reddened with embarrassment, dividing the thought between compliment and ignorance. “D-Don’t you – I told you not to address me as ‘lady’! Why are you and Amakasu like that?”, she asked now, shaking both her arms up like a kid while biting her lips a bit, not noticing that a little of blood was dripping down.
He responded softly towards her. “You have blood on your lips. You might attract attention.”
“Oh.” She immediately wiped it off with her finger and even teased him, just for giving such strange words. “Want to have it, Leon?”, she asked in a cute manner, though she was just bickering him in a positive way, nearing her finger towards him.
He shuddered away with that, his response broken. “Empress!” he even made his voice a bit higher enough for her to scold, seeing her chuckle more. “… Kid.”, he mutters slightly in silence, while still hearing her laughs. However to him, this wasn’t a joke. Blood is really, really important to vampires. Seeing her do that made him a bit… thirsty. ‘Stupid girl!’, he thought annoyed, though it wasn’t obvious.
Breaking her laughter, he shakes another notice. He just realized that she was just avoiding his questions. Somehow, he thinks that the next one would be unavoidable for her. “You just mentioned Amakusa, what about him?”
She paused. “Ama? What-what’s with him?” she was faced with a cocked brow, and the look of the white haired lad. “... Seriously, now you are the one being creepy – what do you mean?” she followed another question.
“You seem too attached to this human, and I heard sometimes that you and him are together despite both day light and night. Do you want to be caught by the prefects?” he adds.
“No. Besides, they can’t even see us. Ama knows a good spot where we can eat together.”
“You… eat together all the time?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“…”
“… Are you jealous?”
“No.” His answer was fast, though he saw a Cheshire grin made by the lady. ‘Stop looking at me like that!’, even his thoughts are shouting because of her sudden actions and the way she perceives things. “I just find it weird that you guys get along together, despite the fact he knew the engagement between us.”
“He almost died.” She can remember that time when they were talking about it, on his room, while he was taking a shower and when she was lying down on his bed. The moment the red head human knew, he was almost passing out – good thing he didn’t. “He can’t believe it, and I have to spend my day laughing about it so much.” She can still carve the picture in her brain, trying to hold her giggles.
“Wow. I find that interesting.” Even Leon was amused with what he just heard.
“That’s not what I want to know though,” he adds now sitting on the free chair, placing his hands on the table, acting princely as usual. “What I find weirder is that you don’t recognize the fact that you two are so close.” He couldn’t bring himself to say it indirectly, since he knows that this girl in front of him was much trouble. “You look like a couple. Some students can even see you both together behind those trees.”
‘Like a… what?’ she thought, her mind flushed to blank, her face immediately red. ‘What did he just said?’ she asked herself once more, getting the sentence to thought. “…” she was even silenced by that but responded immediately with a high voice. “No we’re not! Ama’s just strange! And… and besides, he’s human and he knows I am a vampire and he also has been with me since elementary, so, so…” she lost out of words that time also, making the white haired lad pretty convinced with his thoughts now. “We are not like that!” she said as a last resort.
“Fine, whatever you say.” He replies normally, but meant it differently. “I suppose that’s it then. Could that be, the one bothering your mind making you stranger these days is that… you’re thinking of him?”
- - - - -
Next morning, the red head was still on her slumber. She slept too late and hardly even slept because of the conversation with her ‘elder brother’ who kept her hanging. She didn’t like that – that last question which made her mouth drop mentally, her mind blanked and her face entirely red without notice. ‘Leon, that Leon…’ she mutters to herself waking up immediately and pulling the blankets off her body, the pillows a bit messy. She thought of cleaning her area, but she just noticed the time and the ticking of the clock. ‘Oh, it’s morning, and I am late. Well…’ Around the academy, vampires like her are only allowed to have classes and their appearance during the night since that is their class hours. The dormitories are also the same.
She decided to take a bath and pulled off her shirts and undergarments quickly. This sure made her stable, as she sets her bare body to the feeling of showering water, untying her hair and washing herself. She hummed quietly without lyrics, hoping that no one is there in the bathroom except her. The red head was in peace for awhile, but was still stuck with Leon’s last question left unanswered.
“Could that be, the one bothering your mind making you stranger these days is that… you’re thinking of him?”
“No!” she shouts to herself, ruffling her very wet and long hair while trying to remove her blushes. Her face was getting redder also, despite the pale complexion that she has. She found out her heart beating faster out of nervousness, but calmed to her senses again, making a small frown. ‘… Even so, why couldn’t I answer Leon directly?’ she questions herself.
- - - - -
Day Class people a.k.a the normal humans were out for break time, as classes will resume again after hours. The schedule of Cross Academy has always been like that, and this is the will of the school itself. The usual, female day class students would wait for the Night Class students to get out of their dorms after classes, and would even try to hide pictures of them, but the strict implementation of the prefects were stronger that way.
“Amakusa, don’t be a loner and come eat with us!” one student said, trying to make him be part of the group of males who are planning to eat their lunches together.
The red haired male yawned after getting his things packed, but smiled back. “Ah, no need. I have other things to do for the mean time.” His mood was always happy, and he always goes with what’s making everything flowery – some were quite childish yet they were kind of cute. With that, he decided to leave the hall and walked his feet somewhere else.
“… I wonder where he’s always going. Amakusa’s always like that since then.” Even the other students are curious with that, considering him as one of the noticeable males in the Day Class of Cross Academy.
Amakusa walked his way more, avoiding hitting anyone with either his books or his bag, or even any part of his body. He was just thinking positive and would think of homework later, and other friends. He was pretty aware that Day Class students and Night Class students were different, and the fact that vampires and werewolves exist inside the Academy. He was even in luck with that since he would get to know more of the species, considering that he’s close to one.
He moved towards the area with bushes, and followed the path he made always just to eat lunch with a special person. He would always know that Vampires were not good on day light much but more of the night, so he suggested a shady area. What’s good is that nobody sees them (the truth is, some would do when they notice). There, the red head lad continued to make his way until he recognizes the spot. He stopped on walking when he just recognized that his best friend was asleep under the shade and that she was there early.
“Empy…?” he spoke to himself softly, and thought if he should disturb to her nap. On his view was a sleeping woman wearing a Night Class attire, with red that is horribly long and would almost reach the grass or the ground, adding a pale complexion and a recognizable face. He walked nearer her, smiling softly while he places his bags down and got a closer look at her. He remembered those times when they were elementary, back there at the old school where he first befriended a boyish woman since he was a silent person. He could also remember the times that the brunette in front of him would avoid him but end up running on him when she is in trouble. ‘…Ah Empress.’, he thinks silently and just sat on a part of the ground beside her, letting her rest first and wake up sooner.
Empress mumbled a bit when she moves her palms lightly, making the male beside her blink. Amakusa chuckled lightly and pulled off a sweet slice of cake from his box towards her nose. He knew that she has a thing for pastries and anything sweet, so he had one always. As the pastry’s scent caught up her nose, the sleeping brunette suddenly opened her mouth and nibbled on the fork, surprising the red head male who was holding it. He can also hear the small chewing sounds that she was making.
“Ama, where have you been?” the female spoke with the fork still on her mouth and chewing the cake, now her hands moving to stretch one up and gain posture. She sat quietly, though her style of sitting was boyish, and that her skirt can almost show much of her.
This bothered the male. “Sit down properly…” he reminded her, pulling her skirt down not even looking at it, and taking the fork out of her mouth. He was followed by with the question. “Break just started now, why did you ask? Besides, you are already used to this. I should ask you why you are here early.” He blinked his eyes. ‘She usually comes here late, this is the first time I saw her come before me’. Yes, he was just curious.
“What are you talking about? I usually come this early.”
“Hahaha! not really.” He chuckled that off and sat also, rubbing his head a little while flashing a smile towards her. “I recall you being late always and apologizing, since you are having a hard time with keeping up with the heat.”, he laid his back at the trunk also, picking a bundle of her long hair on his hands while looking at it.
She grunted. “I wasn’t late. I was just… nothing. Let’s just eat. Where was the cake you are giving me?” she asked, cocking a brow.
He blinked his eyes. “Here. You even ate the other unconsciously. You have a big mouth.” He gave the fork she bit awhile ago towards her too, since she already crunched her teeth on it. “It bothers me though that Leon says that you’re getting strange these days… you can tell me the problem if you couldn’t tell him… though I guess he would be angered.” He gave a light fidget with that too.
‘Leon, why did you even…’ she wanted to face palm herself, but she didn’t. She faced him with a look. “Don’t mind him. He’s just being picky and all since I wasn’t behaving properly like he said. He even didn’t allow me to get new weapons!” The poor red head couldn’t even get one from her area since she was forbid too, and though she has powers, she prefers to use that cool stuff back there that she has been used of. She even sulks with that.
He smiled. “Poor you, banned by Leon. I guess he disciplines you very well.” She was annoyed with that.
“…” Though she was hissing for awhile, she stopped and looked at the left slice of cake. The question was flashing back again, and the conversation that she had with her ‘elder brother’ (and fiancé) was just ringing wrongly in her head. Her face turned red more, as she closes her eyes feeling the silence. For once she wanted to remain in silence and peace of thinking hard.
This actually made Amakusa curious. He was observing her and wasn’t used to this. “What is it anyway?”, he asked, breaking her barrier of silence.
Empress was balled and blank to the thought – she was so confused that she didn’t even hear the question of the male beside her, worrying him a little despite her independence. ‘That thing kept on bothering me since last night, because…’ she thought again, now pressing her fingers to rub at the small plate, and opening her eyes half, looking at her food.
“What I find weirder is that you don’t recognize the fact that you two are so close.”
“Empy!” the male said.
This woke her, making her look at him also. She can only see him slightly frowning, since she didn’t rant on her nick name. That time, he knows that she is not fine and that she happens to be thinking too deep. “… Yes?” she asked with her normal voice, but he didn’t go well with that, instead stare at her.
“Seriously, woman.” He sighs and then curls the strand of her hair on one of his fingers. “Being serious doesn’t really suit you. Whatever your problem is, I think that it’s best sharing it to someone who you know. I told you, if you can’t tell Leon these, then tell me instead.” She was still on a delayed – reaction state when he said these things though he was near. “… Is it that big?” he added since she wasn’t responding towards him properly.
She didn’t grunt but flashed a look at him. “… Ama…” she even mentioned his name.
“Hm?”
“… I feel weird.” she said, admitting it. “B-besides if I said Leon those things he would probably laugh a lot and say ‘You are always weird in your own funny ways’ and anything. I don’t want to add to Leon’s problems also.” She scoffed a little and looked away of embarrassment. “What’s worst… is that it doesn’t involve mafia stuff and the murder case of the lady. This is what I don’t like the most – being troubled on something that I shouldn’t be troubled at.”
“What do you mean?” he asks being curious more. “You are being troubled on something that you shouldn’t be troubled at? Well, that is definitely weird. Can you recall anything that happened which you find unusual that you have done?” he added.
She thought again once, and only one thing flashed on her mind – that ‘dare’. As much as she doesn’t want to remember that, she couldn’t erase that fact. ‘Shoot. Why am I recalling that time? It’s just a dare and he was just simply smiling… it means that didn’t mean anything at all, right?’ she continued to persuade herself to that. “I only remembered that dare you gave to me when I slept in your room.” Her voice was low and quite shy since she didn’t really feel comfortable since then.
“…” he was speechless for seconds too, remembering that. He can surely remember everything that happened. “Oh, that one!” he made a small grin when she said that. “I thought you said that you will forget it? And you told me that it should be left forgotten, right?” he asked again, though he was smiling.
‘The idiot’s even smiling!’, she thought, now a bit nervous. ‘Why is he like that?’ “Yes I told you that. But you made me remember it again!” she scoffed.
‘Just that time…’
FLASHBACKS – last week.
“What the hell are you doing, Empy!?” Amakusa asked, seeing her roll over the bed, obvious from the red hair and the look that she is giving towards him… which he found a bit cute. He snapped the thought out though despite these things and gulped a little. He sighs also once when she didn’t reply, watching her sit up with his messy shirt on, and the long hair.
Empress looked at him blankly. “You let me sleep here, right? Now this is your fault.” She grunted once, making the small look again, while ignoring him. She rubs her eyes also, opening her mouth while her fangs shown a bit.
He blinked to that and sighed next, shrugging while remembering. “Oh right. Sorry I forgot.” He chuckles next also, picking clothes for the weekend instead.
“What. Why are you smiling like that as if you are thinking something.” She monotonously asked, only to see him raising his shirt up and removing it, not caring that the red head female was looking at him. This pauses Empress for awhile since he was in front of her, removing his upper garment like that. She has a nice view of his broad muscles, and not to mention, that delicate – looking skin of his. It even matches his red hair just right. This made her think. ‘He doesn’t even care that he’s removing stuff in front of me; really a weird guy…’ somehow she didn’t realize that she was too silent.
Amakusa lightly smiled followed by a queer smirk. “What’s the matter?” he asked normally, but it was obvious that he likes her facial expression.
“Hey.” She replies quickly and shakes her head while she grunted normally. “You can’t impress me with those muscles and skin of yours, you know! I am already used to that!” she even said that. ‘… Though…’ she stopped on thinking something else for awhile too, but she also knew that some of the people who idolize him so much would really squeal when they see him shirtless. “A-anyhow! Put on your shirt back! Those don’t work on me if you’re planning to make fun of me!”
He made another grin while showing his tongue off cutely, and faced back. “No. I am taking a bath. Besides, I don’t even think you have been used to me.” All he heard was her rant again which he was used to. He kept on going inside the rest room and looked at the shower, while closing the door silently. ‘Oh dear, morning already… How fast days are.’ He sighed while removing the remaining clothes he has, and opened the shower. The water rained on his body finely, while he fixes his hair also.
The red head female calmed much after giving some rants towards him, but got bored. She walked her feet towards his closet while looking at his clothes. ‘… Amakusa’s clothes that I have been wearing because I borrow some…’ she didn’t notice that she blushes little. ‘Come to think of it, now I have been too familiar with his scent.’ She closed her eyes next.
“Hey Empy, you better not open my closet and wear some of my clothes again!”
“But…” the red head protested, opening her eyes now, and sighed. “I always loved your shirts specially when we walk out on stuff.” The red head pouted another.
The male chuckled. “Fine. I ran out of something to wear because you always wear it. Though… I find you cuter wearing something with a dress and girlish. Yes, that would do just fine.”
She growled again because of that. “Never in a million years!” It’s obvious that she loathed it too much.
He couldn’t react much on that since he was really looking forward to wear something that he wanted to see on her. Back there on the old school she was wearing male uniform, and pants, and slacks which fits her, but no skirts or dresses because she hated it. It makes him frown thinking that the only time he can see her look so feminine is during school hours at Cross Academy. He changed the topic though since he doesn’t want to disappoint the female. “By the way, why have you enrolled in this school?”
“…” She was silent for awhile before she answers, taking one of the male’s upper garments. “I came here because I wanted to solve the case of lady Takuya’s murder, and for … Leon.” She couldn’t even imagine being much with that guy or… it was just fate that decided them to be together.
“Leon?” He cocks a brow. “Oh you know Leon! That’s a relief. He’s like my brother.”
“He happens to be my fiancé.”
“…” He almost passed out when he heard that. ‘Empy… has… a fiancé?’ he thought silently, forcing him self to sit on the bench near the shower curtain, and turned off the faucet. He forced himself to chuckle when he was stable now, still stunned. “Oh Empy, you really know how to joke!” He thought she was.
The red head got angry. “Don’t call me Empy! And it’s true! Want to prove it? Go and ask Leon!”
“Having a fiancé doesn’t suit you. And being married at an age of 18…” He chuckled again though inside he was still troubled with that. ‘Why didn’t I know this, since we were friends for years already?’ It saddens him that he doesn’t know an important fact about her just like that. “Leon is a good person, though. He’d be a nice husband but I knew he was going out with someone else.”
“So?” he cocked a brow inside the rest room, taking a towel while hearing her voice. “I don’t care. I don’t even love Leon like that. He’s just my… elder brother and him being clingy is quite annoying sometimes, that’s why we’re always mistaken. A-anyhow we don’t plan to get married and then run away since I don’t like to get married as well.”
“Oh, like that? Wow that’s interesting.” She considered this as a mock.
Empress was finally annoyed when he did that, now standing and walking towards the door of the rest room. “Want me to kiss you for that!?” she didn’t mean that though since Amakusa was a playful sport. The words just came out of her mouth and before she knew it, she doesn’t know that it means quite big towards the male.
“…” He was silent again before grinning. “Fine by me. I dare you, boyish woman. That’s if… you can do that.”
The red head was quite uttered with that. “I-I’m not kidding!”, she trembled more when she felt that the guy was mocking her and then gulped, treating this as a dare as if she would do the impossible. Because of this, the red head continued to open the door, touching the knob though her hands were shaky.
Seeing the knob move made him shocked. ‘Shoot she’s serious!?’ he immediately pulled his pants on, just in time before she went in. He could see her forwarding, her eyes even closed and her hands gripped on his shoulders. That’s when he felt her lips touch on his, lightly and quite soft. He blushed red as a tomato seeing his best friend kissing him without doubt, though he can feel that she was nervous. ‘God, Empy!’, he was troubled more, reacting back to the kiss.
A few while, the brunette let go since she didn’t like this one bit. “…!” her face was really red, redder than a tomato’s since it was her first time experience. She ran back again outside not even facing him, to the farthest edge of his comfortable bed. When she was like that, she held a pillow and screamed on her content. “That’s a first kiss, you know! And don’t push your luck harder! It’s just a dare!” she stressed that.
Meanwhile Amakusa was still stunned, since he didn’t expected this happening. He was red as well, blushing while he walks out shirtless but with his jeans. He even has a towel back. A chuckle followed after, retaining his blushes. “Seriously? Well that’s a very cute first kiss then!” He was not mocking her but he finds it really adorable, and to think that he was the first. ‘I think I am just lucky’, he thought silently and sat beside her, while smiling seeing her avoid him more. “I am not mocking you. I just find it really adorable.”
“Adorable!?”, she scowled little towards him trying to eat up her shyness and confronted him despite the fact that her face had red flushes. “You are just saying that because… because you have kissed a lot of girls and you are kind of happy with that – chick magnet!” she kept on ranting like that more, not knowing that he’s been entertained with her actions.
He wipes his hair with his towel before placing it on the cabin near them. “No. You were my second… which I really liked.” He didn’t remove the flowery and happy aura.
She grunted more. “Lies! Just forget about this anyway!”
“I can’t. I can even feel it in my lips.”
“What!? Amakusa! It’s a DARE! Define dare!”
“Maybe if I dare myself to kiss you then I would try to forget it.” He wandered a little like a kid, but then grinned wider with much flowery and fluttery background than before. “Hey Empy, let’s do that again, longer!”
“…what!? Wait. Ama… why, are we going to kiss again?!” She moved away farther but the male kept on going near her happily, as if nothing’s breaking his happy barrier. She fidgets to that being cornered awhile. “Ama, this is not funny you know!” The red head shut her eyes when she knew that she was quite nervous of this stuff, feeling his hands cupping her cheek and his lips once more. This time, the kiss lasted longer. ‘This idiot! He seems so happy with these things!’, she thought but somehow she submitted to him.
End of Flashbacks. Modern Time.
“That’s nothing!” Empress growled again.
Amakusa sighed little before looking at her again. “Well you said that it was bothering. So I think that is neither anything nor nothing at all to you.” He was comfortable with that but he knew she wasn’t. “… Empy, sorry if I dared you that then. I really found you doing that too cute.” He wasn’t teasing her, but found the red head standing now because of what he said. “O-Oi, where are you going? We haven’t even eaten a bit of-“
“It’s not funny, Ama!” she frowns when she shouted at him like that. “I felt confused after that thing and… ah! It’s just a dare so please don’t bring it up anymore!” saying those things for minutes made her almost cry on words, which he had noticed, but then the red head marched and ran away instead.
He blinked and stood up. “Empy!” he called her name but realized that she was just gone, even with those sweets that she would always like and die for when she’s with him. Silence filled him for awhile, a bit troubled and ended rubbing his hair lightly. “Aw men, I didn’t really mean to make her upset…”
- - - - -
Nightfall was fast once more, and the mood was quite awful for her highness, Empress. She ignored every wave and smile that she has encountered in class, or even the mocks of the rest about her and Leon, including Amakusa. ‘Please, shut up!’ she wanted to growl at them wildly after this but knew that she was part anti-social and has no rights in the school much as she has influence being a Mafia head of all Vampires. The red head was troubled moreover especially when people tried to look at her and ask what her problem in all sorts is. She even avoided seeing her fiancé for awhile because she was too distracted.
This was miserable for her, and now she feels bad that she has scolded her only best friend and trusted one around the school area whereas would protect her no matter what. She shuts her eyes proceeding to the regular rooms of her dorm for awhile. No one is in there yet, but she only knew that one person who was attached to her unintentionally would always try to help her out.
His highness on the other hand couldn’t stand that she’s been like that even at class. He was pretty clueless of what happened towards the morning but has fewer issues with it. Instead, he shot his fiancée a question. “Don’t you think that breaking things aren’t really that helpful, or simply keeping everything to yourself, Empress?” he even cocked a brow when she ignored him making him follow her to the stairs. “You are much upset now than yesterday, now what is it this time?”
“Please!” she said in a loud voice towards him which made him pause. “Just leave me alone, I don’t need company for now and I am very, very distracted!” with that she continued to forward her steps on the doors nearing her farthest room, her shoes making louder thumps before attempting to run. She was quickly grabbed by him on the arm. “Leon!”
“Breathe.” The white haired aristocrat said, eying at her moreover. Since the brunette has slight or part fears when it comes to him, she listened and breathed out heavily before trying to calm down. When he sees this, he asks her. “Feeling better? Now what happened? It’s not very normal for you to act crazier than this.” He didn’t even lied about that – but he was just used to her shivering, fearful or otherwise her happy and smiling aura which stands independent.
She maintained her silence for awhile before calming to her senses. “… I feel guilty.” He cocks a brow another not letting go off her. “I kind of feel guilty and distracted that I shouted on Amakusa again, and this time, it got through him unintentionally. I mean I really didn’t mean to but he was so annoying and I can’t do anything but –“
“I see.” He cuts her talk with that, letting go off her hand and sighs. “You know what’s the matter with you, Emp? You are forcing yourself to be naïve of people – especially Amakusa. It is so obvious that he treats you differently than the girls that he meets. He even clings on you too much and endured your craziness though you considered him as annoying.” He could see her blink her eyes with that while he gives a small smile, raising a hand patting her by the head quietly. “You like him. You can’t just tell him. I advice you to apologize before anything else goes out of place.”
That got through her, and somehow she thinks that it lessened her complications and stress. ‘And now I am thinking of that idiot again and again but Leon…’ she grumbled small first before removing his hand on her head and frowned. “…Fine. I will. But-but what if he doesn’t want to see me right now then?” she asked much troubled.
“Emp, you’re a boss. You know these things pretty well. Now don’t act dumb.” He replied towards her making her pout and hiss a bit.
“Fine! I won’t step out of his area unless he forgives me! I tell you!” with that, her highness continued to walk faster and then speeds up, opening the dorm room and immediately leaving before other vampires would come. Leon watched her from afar and looked at her, sighing silently while observing the quiet area.
‘Seriously, that girl…’ he even gave a slight ‘tsk’ to that.

On the regular dorm rooms for humans, Amakusa sighed quietly placing his bag on the other side, after having a fresh bath from the shower before going to bed. He stuffed the other pastries that he brought earlier on one pack just in case he has the mood to eat it. Knowing this guy, he wasn’t that good at apologizing, and he was kind of troubled when he recalls the face she gave this noon towards him, and then leaves after. It was pretty strange.
‘This is really frustrating.’ He pressed his hands on the towel that he has and picks up a shirt on his closet quietly while trying to talk to him self. Like what he said, he wasn’t used to his best friend being like that even though he was so clingy towards her and tomorrow he wouldn’t appreciate on much of her anger. He also knew that she was alone since Leon couldn’t accompany her because of his girl friend who apparently hates her, and he wasn’t a vampire like them. Because they have been friends and close as hell since the old school, he treats her as something of importance. “Maybe I should apologize to her tomorrow…” he mumbled quietly while he dries his hair also, his fingers pressing quietly.
He thought a bit negative when he gave a frown and a fidget. “Ahahaha, she’ll probably kick me or kill me tomorrow then if I try to apologize in such manner…” Knowing her, she wasn’t ordinary. He laughed out nervously when he can imagine the times she would attempt to shoot at him when there’s target practice, when Amethyst Ushironomiya is on training (that Spartan Lady) or when she wriggles her nerves out madly; one side that the people of Cross Academy wouldn’t know about.
The red head male was about to think of another solution quickly when he heard knocks on his door. He blinked thinking whoever it was. ‘Now who is it? Probably Karl or something…’ he shrugs to that too, and walked proceeding to turn the knob. When he did, he was surprised to see Empress panting while almost dropping to the knees. “Empy? Eh? Why are you panting and running like that?” he placed the shirt that he was holding on one of his shoulders, looking at her.
Empress huffed a bit before standing up. “Hey…” she muttered quietly, though she was still panting. “I need to talk to you, and I demand it, right now. If you don’t I will hate you forever.” It was straight though it made sense.
‘Eh!?’ Of course he didn’t like that one bit. He looked at the other students who were waking almost near the dorms to sleep, and find that seeing a Night Class student would be a bit of commotion, he nods. “Well if you say so, but here. I don’t really like you being caught by others talking to me at this hour.” He finds it trouble also.
The red head nodded, and entered his room, while he closes the door quietly; even locking it just to make sure no one will peek in and see her. Somehow the red head should be staying at her dorm by this hour, but she couldn’t. Now he wonders why and what is the reason behind this.
“What’cha up to?” he asked curiously now sitting at his bed also.
Empress fixed up her self before anything, trying to relax at the action. She removed her worries away though she was nervous. She even stuttered a bit but wasn’t obvious. “Listen to me, okay! I’m…” she grumbled, crossing her arms but sighs another while looking away. “I’m sorry about what I did this lunch time! I won’t repeat myself again though, Ama.” She corrected herself but then was responded with a blink from his eyes. ‘God this is much troubling and embarrassing than I thought!’ her heart thumps faster, recalling what her fiancé just said about it. “… I just don’t like having someone leave me since I am a loner in this school. I cling on a person, at least one will do, and that’s you, Ama… considering that you never left me.”
Some may think that it is too childish to hear from her, but then the male understood. He even snickered to that followed by a small cute giggle which made the red head look at him again. “Oi! Don’t laugh at me! This is an important case!”, she growled but then frowned seeing him telling like it was highly impossible.
“Fine. I will take my leave then since you are just there laughing about it and not meaning any-“
“Are you kidding me?” this made the red head female look. “I will never leave you, Empy… even if you make me your punching bag or your annoyance as long as I can see you. I am happy with that. Seriously.” He smiled with thumbs up towards her since he meant those words, followed by his warm smile next. “We’re best friends, so why think that scolding awhile ago would make me leave? Besides, I started it this way so… I guess I am in fault here, ahahaha…” his chuckle was troubled since he has to apologize as well.
The brunette remained silent again and didn’t leave him, but was stunned to his answer. This made him look at her again.
“Empy? Hey, are you listening to me?” he even decided to wave a hand in front of her.
“This is your entire fault!” she suddenly said while she forwarded and hugged him, for the first time. He blushed redder this time. “Why are you being so nice to me anyway, even if other people hate me so much? You stupid, idiot, bastard, weird, and odd – looking person! Why?” she asked again clinging tighter towards him, feeling his broad muscles while he allowed her to rant on him. He smiles more when she did since he knew that she was always like that. “Amakusa’s a crazy masochist!” she added more.
When he knew she was done, he patted her at the back while closing his eyes. “Maybe, but it is fine.” He was serious in responding though his tone was normal. He even caressed her hair normally. “You know I was about to go there to tell you that I was sorry but then you came in here suddenly, though I am glad…we are stuck again at this room, aren’t we?” he asked her before he faces her and stopped attaching to him.
He can see her face blush again because of that as she knew his point.
‘Ah this room again?’ she thought times before she thinks of a response. ‘Come to think of it, he was right…’ She recalled those times when she even bounces on the bed, the times when she was even hiding, and those times when she was borrowing his shirt by force… and that first kiss. It was all in Amakusa’s room. Who would have thought that even a part of Cross Academy wouldn’t be special to them? She suddenly eyes at him who was a distant with her.
“…” she remained silent for awhile, hearing her own heart jump again like crazy, but in a relaxed manner now. ‘Maybe Leon was right, I do like Amakusa…’ her blushes appeared once more in an obvious manner, pretty clear for the red head male to see. She was feeling slightly disturbed once more since she couldn’t understand the feeling.
Amakusa forwarded her suddenly and kissed her forehead while she was staring at him like a child. “Let’s just be this way for awhile, okay?” he expects her to hit him back but she didn’t; instead, she kissed his cheek. “…Empy?” he flushed red once more now.
“S-Stupid really…” she tilts her head on the side. “You acting strange and weird on me made me feel… uncomfortable now. Do something about it, will you…?” her tone was normal, a bit disappointed though, since she was swallowing some of her words with nervousness and clad stillness. He knew what she meant though.
The male smiled again and went closer, pinning her down on his pillow through a kiss, and this time, she didn’t contradict to that.

Next morning, the sun rays hit the windows of the room, and so as the skins of the two sleeping people.
One ray hit Amakusa’s face, making him blink of a sudden, seeing that it was morning already. He sat up and yawned quietly afterwards while feeling a strand of thick hair on his shoulders and arms. He looked at the side, seeing Empress still in her sleep, really tired. He smiled once more knowing that it wasn’t just a dream, but for real, after that confession she made last night. His best friend/love was just beside him now, and she didn’t even complain.
He curled that strand of hair when she was sleeping moreover, like an angel of red. He even looked at her face while he was twirling his finger lightly until he sees her move her head.
Empress mumbled being disturbed by the light, slightly opening her eyes seeing the hand of the male with a thick strand of her hair. “Ugh…” she mumbled lightly and rubbed her eyes firm, not sitting up but retaining her position. “Ama…?” she uses her other hand to block the light from hitting her face while she nears her head more on his thigh while he was sitting up. “It’s morning already…?”
“Yes.” He added and greeted her. “Good morning.” He said it pleasantly while looking at the time. “Oh, it’s still early though. Do you like to eat already?” he asks and was about to stand up but was pulled by the red head.
“I’m not yet hungry. Stay here with me…” she blushes again before closing her eyes, caressing her head on him like a cat. He didn’t contradict to that anymore and stayed there just like she wanted, while seeing her attempt to sleep again.
“Alright, if you say so.” He watched her sleep again. After all, he wasn’t planning on going to class this day and rather spend it while seeing her like that.
