Bond
I walk into the night dorms, smiling brightly when I spot Kaname already stood from where he was sitting on the couch behind him. "Kana!" I say brightly, not hearing the chokes, before those in question are quickly looking away from Kaname's threatening stare.
"Hadrian." He murmurs his greeting, smiling down at me gently, much to the shock of those around me.
I grab his hand, pulling him after me. "Come on, come on." I tug at him in my excitement, something his chuckles at, following me easily as there's no way i'd ever be able to pull him if he didn't want to move.
"As you wish." He murmurs, following me outside.
I lead him away before wrapping myself around his arm with a bright smile. "Guess what??" I ask excitedly.
He chuckles. "What, sweetheart?" He murmurs, looking down to me with fondness.
"Yuki beat Zero!" I say brightly.
Kaname's eyes widen. "She..." He trails of in his shock, and I giggle, nodding.
"Yes! They were taking a quick break before going once more..." I roll my eyes. "Something about making sure it wasn't a fluke."
"Beloved." Kaname breathes out.
I look up to him with a bright smile. "I know I'm a great teacher-" I'm cut off by his lips meeting my own.
I'm frozen in place before my mind catches up to me and I sag, my hand moving to cup his cheek, the other grabbing onto his wrist where he is gripping the back of my neck.
He hums, the sound sending shivers down my spine before he's pulling back slightly, staying close enough to whisper, looking into my eyes. "Thank you, beloved. So much." He murmurs gratefully.
I smile at him fondly, moving my hand from his wrist to run through his silky hair. "Anything for you, honey." I say gently, moving to place another kiss on his lips before pulling back with a slight blush.
He chuckles, straightening up, but not before pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"Now, come on!!" I whine, pulling at him once more.
He comes easily, laughing in fond happiness. "As you wish, sweetheart." He murmurs, turning my face red once more.
We finally get to the gym and enter quietly, seeing Zero and Yuki have already begun their spar.
Kaname wraps his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on the top of my head as he watches and I lean back into him, enjoying the contact, his embrace always comforting me.
Yuki and Zero give and receive hits, Yuki now knowing how to redirect the strength as well as retaliate.
It's not long before Yuki had Zero flat on his back on the ground, her rod aimed at his heart.
I beam, clapping. "Wonderful!" I praise.
Yuki flushes, looking over to me and smiling shyly at Kaname. "Really?" She says excitedly.
"Really." Zero deadpans, standing with a hand held out from Yuki.
Kaname chuckles and Zero sends a glare over to the man in question.
"Well done, Yuki." Kanama praises, straightening up but not moving his arms from around me.
She beams. "Thank you for teaching me, Ge!"
I chuckle, nodding and moving away from Kaname to pat her head. "You did all the work." I murmur. "Well done."
She flushes, Zero nodding with his arms crossed. "He's right. Good job, Yuki."
Yuki flusters and I cover my smile as I watch her blush and fidget at Zero's praise.
Kaname growls quietly, but I hear and turn back giving him a look.
He faulters immediately and having power like that over a man like Kaname is... scary. Thrilling, but scary.
I walk back over to him, allowing Zero and Yuki their time as I grab his hand, smiling up at him. "All will work out, honey." I murmur, resting a hand on his chest and reaching up to kiss his neck.
He sighs, but nods, pulling me back into him. "I love you." He murmurs.
I giggle into him, wrapping my arms around his chest and nuzzling into him. "I love you too, Kana."
He hums and I barely withhold the whimper at his magic caressing me... fluttering underneath my clothing.
I'm beyond happy he's grown in his magical abilities... but- I whine, gripping onto his jacket when the magic brushes up against me, beneath my pants.
His chuckle is dark as he grabs my hand, beginning to lead me away, never stopping his teasing.
___________________________________________________-
I stand in front of Zero in my home, inside another briefcase holding a ritual room.
He's not nervous, and I don't know why I'm not surprised. This is Zero, and he trusts me enough to give himself to me entirely.
I smile, grabbing his hands. "All right. You need to relax and continue breathing. Ensure, you focus on your breathing the whole time. Allright?" I ask.
He nods. "Got it." He says with determination.
I chuckle. "And once the bond is complete, you must immediately leave the case entirely. Teddy will aide you with the next steps."
"All right." He nods.
I smile softly. "Go ahead and sit so you don't fall, just in case." He sits and I kneel down to continue holding his hands.
Magic pours out of me, filling the room. "Close your eyes. Don't fight me." I murmur softly as deaths magic begins to fill my body entirely in its active state, no longer resting right under my skin.
It travels from my hands to Zero's, who shivers but doesn't release my hands.
I feel Mort and open my eyes to see him standing behind Zero, who's shivering in instinctive fear and dread, his black willowy form hovering above the ground as a single hand reaches out. "You're safe." I assure Zero before Mort is placing a hand on his head.
Everything Zero would feel, hits me. I grit my teeth, holding in the screams of pain as the bond forms.
Zero begins slowly calming as I begin shaking, tears filling my eyes that I push back, closing my eyes tightly.
"It is finished." Mort states, Zero jolting at the being voices before Mort is leaving, mentally wishing me a swift recovery as he cannot stay in the mortal realm for long.
The pain is at its crescendo and I release Zero's hand, who stands slowly, walking out of the room and closing the door behind him. I drop to my hands, panting and whimpering, my entire body feeling like it's on fire as I take the pain from my little brother.
When I feel Zero has left the briefcase entirely, I let everything go, screaming out the pain and agony, knowing it's worth it... beyond used to pain, it being a close companion by this point.
I can barely see through the tears as I blink them open from where I'm sprawled on the ground.
"Hadrian. Beloved." The worried growl is difficult to understand in muddled state. "What happened?" I finally recognize the voice and whine, attempting to reach for him, wanting his comfort.
"Kana." I choke out through my cries. "Bond."
He growls, understanding. "You will explain later." He says darkly, lifting me into my arms.
"Kana." I cry into him.
"I'm right here, beloved." He murmurs into my hair, walking with me in his arms.
I continue to cry, shaking until I feel him laying me down. "Wha-?" I ask in confusion.
"We're back in my room, beloved. I'm right here." He murmurs, and I feel a cloth on my face, enjoying the coolness of it. "You're going to be okay." He whispers.
I sniffle, wanting him to hold me again. "Kana. Please." I reach for him.
It's not even a moment later that I'm being held by him. "Beloved." He murmurs, nuzzling into my hair, his arms holding me to him gently, our bodies flushed together.
"Sorry." I whisper into him, feeling guilty. Wait. "How?" I whisper, not understanding how he found out.
HE growls, tightening his arms around me as he inhales deeply. "Bond." He breathes out.
I freeze, not knowing he would feel me... "Oh god." I choke out. "I'm so sorry." I begin crying into him, realizing he could tell what I was feeling... this whole time. Silly Kana, why wouldn't he tell me?
"It just formed fully. I couldn't feel you until-" He cuts off, growling.
I wince, nodding into him as I sniffle, calming. "Sorry, Kana."
"You're in trouble." He growls out, rubbing a hand up and down my back. "After you're better." He whispers out softly.
I sigh, knowing it's deserved as he's very protective over my safety and security. "I'm so sorry." I whisper into him.
"Hush, hush." He moves his hand to my hair, running it through the white strands soothingly. "It's okay. Don't be upset, sweetheart. Rest. Recover. We're okay, beloved. All will be okay." He whispers his assurance, and it has me relaxing, whining into his chest at the pain that hits me once more.
He begins humming softly, knowing his voice soothes me. "I love you, sweetheart." He murmurs softly.
I clench my hands on his shirt, eyes tightening at the next bout of pain, so it takes me a moment to respond. "I love you." I choke out quietly.
He holds me through the worst of the bond forming, never faltering in his whispered words of love and comfort, ensuring I'm soothed through every bout of pain.
When I'm finally exhausted, I sag, whimpering. "Try to rest for me, sweetheart." I whine and he nuzzles into my hair. "I know it's hard, sweetheart. Try, for me?" He whispers softly, hopefully.
I sniff once more, nodding. "Okay, Kana." I whisper quietly, closing my eyes.
I hum, nuzzling into him as I begin drifting off. "Love Kana." I mumble.
He chuckles quietly, the deep sound having me press my face into his chest, listening to the sound with delight. "Goodnight, sweetheart." He murmurs, and I feel him press a kiss to the top of my head.
"Stay?" I whisper, pleading.
"Always." He growls, tightening his arms around me. "I'm going nowhere, beloved." His voice is dark, laced with possession and promise.
I sigh, the darkness reassuring, something I'm sure would worry others, but this is Kana, my Kana. He's never harm me.
"Goodnight, honey." I mumble, closing my eyes once and for all.
"I love you too, sweetheart. Goodnight." I fall asleep to his soothing deep voice, his body surrounding me. The feel of him a constant reminder of the strength and protection this man provides constantly.
A small smile tilts my lips, grateful and happy... all thoughts of future punishment for my little stunt, gone from my mind.
Sadly, I'll be reminded when I'm better in a few days.
