Chapter 165 part 2 Different

Zero works in the stables all day, seeing that Yuki doesn't come to visit him like she use to. He notices she keeps to the office all day. It just makes him wonder a bit. It's now almost time for dinner so he heads back to the manor.

When he gets there, he bumps into Kaname putting his coat on to go out.

"Its almost dinner time, where are you going?" Zero asks. "I have something to take care of. I will be back shortly." Kaname replies. "Is everything ok with Yuki? I haven't seen much of her at all today. Is she really still that upset with me?" Zero asks. "She is dealing. She has a lot on her mind. She has been working all day. I won't be here much tonight, so spend it with her. See how it goes." Kaname responds. "Ok, I will do that. Good luck in where ever you're going." Zero states. "Thank you. I do see you came back with a different attitude." Kaname remarks. "Did I have a choice? I did see a lot of things, while I was gone. How you did open your home up to me. Make me use anything I wanted. It wasn't all bad here. I do see she is close to you." Zero states. "As close as she is to me, without you here I had no control. I saw little by little it would have gone back to the way it used to be. Maybe worse. So we both realized a lot, If we want her, its all three of us working together."Kaname comments. "At this point, I guess it doesn't even matter." Zero replies. Kaname just nods walking out the door.

Zero goes into the dining room seeing the kids and Yuki already waiting for dinner.

"How was your visit to the stables today?" Yuki asks. "It was great. I really have missed being there. I also went to the gun range for a bit. It's nice having all this on our property. Made me think how well Kaname was treating me. He really does need me. "Zero chuckles. "You need each other. In more than one way."Yuki replies. "What did you do all day? I thought you would have visited at the stables. "Zero asks. "I was busy working. I knew you were happy where you were. You didn't need me under your coat tails." Yuki replies. "I don't mind you visiting. I missed you very much. You don't have to distance yourself from me Yuki. I want to be with you. Its why I came back." Zero states. "I know. I just have to get used to things again. I really do like working with Kaname. I have learned a lot. I also see a lot." Yuki answers. "I am sure, I am glad you are. " Zero responds.

The rest of the night goes smoothly, Zero and Yuki eat their dinner with the kids. Talking and being together. Zero doing everything he can to build her trust. He wants things to go back to the way they were. He just sees that there is this wall between them. Even with letting go with sex and blood the wall was still there in other ways. He also saw that today she wasn't all over him like she use to be. That for sure was something new. He was just waiting for them to go to bed. To see if he could work his magic.

When dinner was over, they both go to tuck in the children. Reading them a story and kissing them goodnight. Afterward, they both head to there own room, Yuki getting ready for her shower.

After Yuki's Shower, she heads to bed sliding in, Zero sitting there reading his paper.

"Anything good?" Yuki asks."Not really, pretty boring." Zero responds.

Putting down the paper. Moving over to her. Laying side by side looking into each other's eyes. Yuki slides her hand on Zero's cheek, his hand on her waist.

"I really did miss you Zero," Yuki admits. "I am happy to hear that. Whatever your feeling I want you to know that I really do love you. " Zero states.

Yuki places a tender kiss on his lips as he holds her close. They just hold each other, wrapping their bodies around each other. Snuggling up close, not wanting the moment to end.
