Zero's realization

Start from the beginning
                                        

Kiryu's thoughts were cut short when a knock was heard at the door, his body jolting and eyes going a fraction wider before calming and shaking his head. Getting up to answer the door, he looked at his phone, groaning in aggravation when he saw the time. "Its 6 Am on a Saturday... Really?" he questioned his feet still stumbling on the floor as he reached the knob, shoving the bright item in pocket.

On the other side, a man with an eye patch and dark hair towered over him, the trench-coated male leaning against the door arms crossed. Zero raised a brow at this. "Teacher?" he questioned, with a little attitude in his tone, trying to make it obvious he did not like this whole 'getting woken up early despite being awake prior to the knock.

In response, the man smirked, but not in a warm family man smile... It barely even passed as a sarcastic smirk let alone 'family'. "Cross wishes to speak with you Zero." he bluntly stated, cutting to the chase. The man was never too good with words but Zero understood him.

Nodded his head, the silverette followed his teacher to the office which held Cross. The two opening one of the large twin doors to see an extremely happy Cross, the blondish male standing right in front of them Instead of being seated at his desk like usual.

"Oh! Toga, thanks for bringing him." he chirped while rushing towards Zero and hugging him. The teen caught in the over-affectionate action roll his eyes, already tired of the old man's antics. "Morning to you Zero I'm so glad you came, I didn't wake you did I?" He questioned with worry before getting facepalmed by the boy who started slipping from his hold.

Now free, Zero glanced at his father figures face and shrugged, shaking his head. "No, I woke up prior thanks to a more or less nightmare." Kiryu confessed, deciding to actually tell them what is happening in his mind.

Cross frowned upon hearing this fact and clasped his hands with a crying face. "Aw, do you need your father to comfort you son?" He baby talked out, stretching his arms so to hug the young hunter again, when Zero dodged it, leaving the man to fumble alone in the air.

Toga laughed at the sight as Zero huffed. "Shut-up please." the boy mumbled, in a grouchy tone, the norm as Cross followed his own pattern releasing tears. "Toga, help me my son doesn't love me no more!" he cried out. And They both rolled their eyes.

Zero, being already quite done with this conversation, sat across the two males and onto the small two seater couch.  Deciding to try and this quickly. He opened his mouth to speak "Ok so why did you need me here?" he requested to know. Quickly getting to the point and the man before hims laughing came to a sudden halt.

Kaien's face became more serious as he, as well, took a seat. Clasping his hands together as he leaned forward "Yuki and Kaname are returning to our school." He confessed, looking at Zero with worry. Scared about his response. But unlike the principle originally thought, the boy smiled slightly.

Zero looked at the floor, fiddling with his hands. "So Yuki will be here again?" he asked, sounding hopeful and Cross smiled Brightly, squeezing the boys shoulder with just a little force. "She missed both you and Yori so much, that... Kaname had to bring them back. but there's a problem." he quickly finished, seeming worried once again.

Kiryu's eyes raced up, the teen shocked at the fact that Cross would consider something a 'problem' beside the possibility of himself holding a grudge. Which he let go of. But still, what could it be if not him?

Feeling slightly anxious and curious, the silver-headed teen inclined his head for the other to continue. The man taking the invitation. "Kaname said that we need to watch Yuki. Shes still new to the vampire thing and as I was told. she has a thing. for Yori..." Cross stated, with multiple pauses.
