It always was hard to keep things from Retsu, she made him want to tell her things, confide his secrets in her. And this was no different, they were sitting silently together, their relationship tight friendship and stolen kisses. Though the vampire wanted more. “I’ve wanted to make love to you for a while now, Retsu. I wish to give you pleasure, and I’ve said nothing because… well, I will not push your comforts aside for my desires.”

Athena didn’t try to pull back, instead reaching her hand sup to rest one on his shoulder and one on his cheek. She had expected that response, she knew that he was dedicated to her and how unwilling he was to be separat- ed from her. But a small part of her always worried, she had left him alone like that–what if it had made him a bit bitter towards her.

                                     ❝  I’m sorry, Kaname– ❞

                   It wasn’t something she had actually come out and said yet, she had felt that                    she could but never brought herself to do as much. She didn’t want to dredge                    up the past and what she had done, but she needed to if she wanted to get h-                    erself past this. She knew that much.

                             “For leaving your side I am sorry, and as long as                              you’ll have me I’ll stay by you as well from now                              on.”

in a universe where everyone is born with numbers on their wrists counting down to when they’ll meet their soulmate, send me 00:00:00 for my muse's reaction to their numbers hitting zero when they meet yours.@kurxn

When her timer had started counting down Athena’s parents had decided tokeep it from general public knowledge, though proper etiquette of the vamp-ire community–especially when it came to Purebloods was to announce itwhen yours or your child’s timer began to count down? They did not wanttheir 9 year old daughter to endure the attention that it would bring, of havingto go through noble’s shoving their son’s in her direction hopping that theywould get there just in time for the number’s to reach their end. And so inst-ead they were careful, they kept her wrist covered with either a sleeve of acuff over top of it and went about as normal.

                                       Athena was currently doing her best to avoid pulling back the cuff of flowers                                        that her elder sister had managed to braid around her wrist before the ball,                                        she didn’t want anyone to see it after all. Her parents had warned her, it the                                        noble’s saw the lowering numbers? She would likely be crowded–as it was                                        her Father was already keeping an eye on her from afar encase someone                                        should catch site of it. Even if he may not be revered as the most action                                        taking of Purebloods, his emphatic ability did make him someone that many                                        at this party would not like to cross. Most vampires had secrets that they                                        would not like their peers or the Hunter’s Association to know.

                   She was only half lost in her thoughts though, noticing immediately when her                    sister came over with a smile on her face and pushed her in a random direc-                    tion saying how there was some friend of her’s that she should meet. Jurri                    Kuran was the name she used, and she recognized the name, but the idea of                    meeting someone new when she was worried about her timer was so close to                    zero…Then she felt a slight tingle in her arm as her sister stopped forcing her                    along, just before she looked up when Astraea started speaking.

                             “Oh, Kaname. Your Mother and Father were just                              over here somewhere weren’t they?”

         She noticed her sister’s sudden shift though, she was close enough that she          could feel her Aura. When she glanced down and noticed her peaking as di-          screetly as she could under the band of flowers she had put on her wrist she          said something about leaving them alone for a bit, a growing smile on her fa-          ce as she moved away towards her Parents to whisper something to her Fa-          ther. She didn’t even wait for Kaname’s reply regarding his parents when she          did as much, though that wasn’t really much of a surprise with her air headed          tendency’s.

                                  Athena looked at the Pureblood in front of her when her sister walked away,                                  she didn’t realize the way she was looking at him for a moment. It was as if                                  she was in a daze trying to figure something out, something that seemed to                                  be missing from her thoughts and she couldn’t quite pull it to the surface.                                  When she did she simply apologized and spoke quietly in hopes of avoiding                                  any around them from hearing.

It had been a bit since she had seen any of the old Night Class student’s, and even longer since she had seen Kaname himself. Honestly she had started to wonder if maybe she should seek him out with the whispers she had been hearing about him, but it seemed that she wouldn’t have to. Athena could sense him coming closer, though she couldn’t come up with a reason why he would be coming to see her. That is unless he had remembered or figured out who she was, if that was the case she wondered how this would go.

                                        There was a time when the both of them had been very much in love, and                                         even if that had been in another life and another version of the world for the                                         both of them it was still true. But it was also true that she had taken the place                                         he had meant for himself in the Furnace, and she had done it without even                                         really telling him. She had her reason’s of course, she couldn’t stand the                                         thought of him sacrificing himself when she could take that place instead.                                         But she had still done it non the less.

                    Finally she stepped outside when she felt he was near enough to do so. Her                     parents weren’t home--they had gone with Astraea to visit Akihiko well he                     was in South Korea for the month; and Freya was napping in her room....or                     the barn. All she knew that her younger sister had said she was going to nap                     nearly an hour ago.

                              “Kaname Kuran, what do I owe this                               pleasant surprise to? I’m afraid my                               parents aren’t home if you wanted                               to speak with them.”

You would think that Freya would have learned to either keep the animal friends she sneaked into the dorms in her own section of their room, or at least taught them by now not to climb into her sisters bed. Being woke in the middle of the day because a fox has climbed into your bed and managed to headbutt you because it’s a restless sleeper is not her idea of the best alarm clock. Not to mention that it meant that now she was awake enough that she was walking down the hall with an annoyed expression on her face as she held the back of her head where the fox’s had connected, rather than going back to bed. Even if any damage had healed instantly because of her Pureblood status it didn’t mean she wasn’t gonna hold her head out of annoyance.

                                        She continued to wander through the halls, dismissing it when a maid she                                         passed asked it she needed anything. She finally pulled her hand away from                                         the back of her neck though when she realized that she had ended up in front                                         of Kaname’s room, it tended to happen at last once or twice a week. She                                         wondered if he noticed, if he questioned it or just assumed that she had                                         begun walking the same path when she wandered and it had become habit                                         ending up in front of his door. Silently her hand reached up to his door, nearly                                         reaching out to it before she pulled it back and turned away. She stopped a                                         few feet away and leaned against the wall closing her eyes, not even                                         knowing if she had been planning on knocking or not to begin with. She let                                         out a sigh after a moment and mumbled something to herself as she brought                                         her hand up to her face, both exhausted because of her interrupted sleep and                                         exasperated at herself for always ending up here.

Maroon eyes widened and flashed red as he was pushed into a wall, feeling his dear Retsu pressing herself against his body and feeling the blood pumping through her veins as she moved her lips towards his neck– an act he allowed no one. Smooth, cold hands came up to touch her waist as a breath was knocked out of him by way of a groan. This woman either had no idea what her presence did to him, or she was trying to drive him crazy with want. “Retsu, do you have any further plans?” Because he wouldn’t dare disturb her plans, wanted to know what she was thinking, what plotting she’d done in that beautiful head of hers.

Plans? Oh, dear heavens, she had none.
