I was prompted to draw this because I feel so plagued by The Main Love Triangle ™ that I've been wanting to explore other dynamics in Vampire Knight. I really adore the relationship between Hanabusa and Zero. Their rivalry is so fun and their reluctant respect for each other and eventual friendship is so interesting. Aidou's facade of being a confident bratty flirt, while truly being the sensitive, intelligent inquisitor-- is such a wonderful foil to Zero's facade of being a grumpy, violent delinquent while truly being the kind, gentle knight-in-shining-armor. Plus the shenanigans of Hanabusa drawing Zero and then scribbling it out (we all know Hana has a crush on each of the main three at one point or another), Zero chasing after him with rope to then make him dinner, and the iconic scene of them in the hunter-mobile folding their arms and glaring at each other while secretly having a heart to heart. They mean so much to me ♥

Thanks for dropping by! =)
