Is this love? (Vampire Knight x Reader)

Hidden Ally

"Cross said I have to help."

He said stoically. I looked at his profile as I responded,

"But do you want to?"  

I questioned the vampire next to me. He hesitated for a few moments before responding,  

"I do.. But I also don't want to watch you die. This plan is very risky and if we make even one mistake, one miscalculation, you could die. We could all die. I know this needs to be done, but I'm worried this may go bad." 

I smiled in understanding,

"You're not the only one. Zero, I understand your concern. Honestly, I'm terrified this won't work and we'll all die. But I'm willing to take that chance if it means stopping my brother and saving everyone." 

Zero nodded his head slowly in understanding at my statement before responding, 

"Alright. If you're willing to take that chance, then I'll protect you." 

I smiled in relief, glad to know he was more on board with this,  

"Thank you, Zero."

I said kindly to him, to which he smiled in response,  

"Welcome-ah!"

Zero grabbed his chest and cried out in pain as he slumped off the bed and onto the floor, 

"Zero!" 

I quickly slid off the bed and joined him on the floor. When I saw his red eyes I frowned slightly,  

"You're hungry." 

I stated bluntly as I pulled my hair back from my neck,

"Please do it, Zero. You need it." 

I said, knowing full well what he was thinking. He hesitated for a second before pulling me close to him and sinking his fangs into my neck. I held him gently as he drank from my,

"Zero..." 

I whispered softly as my vision started to get spotty from blood loss. I knew he was taking too much, but I wasn't strong enough to push him off, 

"Zero." 

I said a bit more forcefully as I tried to shove him off. He held me tighter and I began to panic slightly and lose consciousness. Zero must've sensed he was taking too much, because in the next moment he pulled away and pressed a cloth to my neck to stop the bleeding, 

"I'm so sorry, Y/N. Please be okay." 

He whispered frantically as he held me in his arms. I nodded weakly and smiled at him,  

"I'm alright, Zero. Don't worry about me." 

He held me close to him. I could tell he wanted to keep feeding off of me, but was afraid of hurting me. I called out to him softly, 

"Zero?" 

"Go." 

"What?" 

I asked in confusion. He let go of me and backed away, 

"I don't want to hurt you. So please leave before I lose control." 

He said, his voice strained and his eyes desperate. I didn't want to leave him, but the look in his eyes told me not to argue. I nodded and hurried out the door back to the  Moon Dorm and didn't stop until I had reached my room and locked the door. I sighed and sat down on my bed, 

"I guess he took more than I thought. I'm so tired." 

I got into bed and stared up at the ceiling, wondering if this really is a good idea, if this will really work. I hoped it would, I desperately wanted my friends to go back to who they really are. I sighed again and closed my eyes as I laid back on my bed. Right before I fell asleep, I could've sworn I heard the door open. As the footsteps came closer, I felt the bed dip slightly as someone pushed a stray hair from my face. Then I heard them speak softly, 

"Don't worry, Y/N. I won't let anything happen to you. I'm not as I appear to the others." 

Sleep overtook me before I could react, but one thing remained in my mind that I was sure of: that was Kaname's voice.
