"I may have.." I stammered. "May have forgotten about something.. That's really um.. Important?" I can just imagine Lola's cackle once she hears about this.

"Could you maybe elaborate?" The silver haired teen almost sounded amused. I visibly winced at the thought of the amount of cringe that was about to happen once I started speaking.

"Zero, do you remember the last full moon?" I whined against the door.

"What about it?"

"Remember the next morning?"

"Jesus, _____ use your words!" He was losing his patience now. I'll admit that this situation is actually quite funny. But when you're standing in your best friend's bathroom, butt naked, trying to ask him to give you some clothes, your pride gets hurt.

"Zero, I have no clothes on." It was silent for a moment.

"Uh.. What?" I could almost hear the embarrassment in his voice.

"I need some clothes, Z." I heard some indistinct grumbling from the other side of the door followed by the sound of drawers being opened.

"Put these on, stupid," Zero pushed open the door enough for him to hand me a grey pair of sweatpants and a powder blue sweater.

"I swear to God, you are nothing but trouble," Zero grumbled as I stepped out of the bathroom. He was sat on his bed, clad in his uniform.

"It's not my fault," I mumbled, sitting beside him on the bed. "I just forgot.." Zero snorted in reply.

"And how long have you been a werewolf?" He asked, rhetorically. "I'd imagine that'd be something you remember."

I rolled my eyes at his reply. I was going to mention the Wild Wolves maybe just to shut him up but decided against it. He didn't look to be in the best of moods at the moment.

"Why are you in your uniform?" I asked, changing the subject. "It's Saturday." Zero huffed and pulled on his disciplinary committee sash. He was looking at a mirror on the wall across the room, his signature scowl adorning his face. He had light bags under his eyes.

"I've been told I've to do patrol tonight," Zero stood up from the bed, adjusting his blazer. "Word of your brother's outburst spread quickly. Got the day class girls riled up." I frowned a little bit, looking down at my lap.

"Sorry about that," I fumbled with my hands. "I'll make sure he regrets it tomorrow." I hadn't even known my brother for two months and he was already causing trouble for me. Jesus, I already had enough to deal with looking after Thom and Lola.

"It's alright, ______," He grumbled. "I've had the past two weeks off cuz' of you. Just a bit annoyed I'm gonna have to go back to three hours of sleep a night." I appreciated Zero trying to comfort me, but I felt like I had to take some sort of responsibility for my brother's actions.

I bit my lip in thought, wondering if there was anything I could do to help him.

"Right," Zero breathed before picking up his gun. I couldn't help but think about my gun. Hopefully, it's in my room or something and Kaname hasn't done anything to it. "Usually I'm back around three to five. Just.. Like, behave." I resisted the urge to snap at him, given the situation.
