Tomoyo Knows Why
Fai had always wondered why Kurogane didn't like seeing him in women's clothes.
Tomoyo always knew. Or guessed. Either way, she was right.
"You see, Fai," she said one day over tea. "Kurogane is in Narnia."
Fai tilted his head, unfamiliar with this particular euphism. Tomoyo sighed and set down her tea cup.
"He likes boys. More specifically, he likes you," she said in explanation.
"Oh~! (Well, that makes sense…we've been screwing since back in Yama) So 'in Narnia' is another way to say that he's 'in the closet'?" Fai asked.
"Why yes, haven't you ever been there? It's quite lovely. I hear it's somewhere south on your world, but the only way you get there is through a closet." No comment on how that makes no sense.
"Hmm..no, I have not. Then again, we don't really have closets in Celes. It's too cold there. We have fur-lined clothes chests instead."
"Interesting. So, why did you need to see me again?" Tomoyo deftly rerouted the conversation back to Fai's purpose.
"Hmm…oh! That's right!" Fai snapped his fingers. "Why does Kurogane hate seeing me in women's clothes?"
Tomoyo giggled. She leaned over the tea table, beckoning Fai to do so as well, until her mouth was right next to his ear. "You see," she said. "Seeing you look so beautiful in that furisode (well, anything I make for you) makes him uncomfortable." She breathed the last word. Fai blushed and withdrew. Tomoyo, also regained he beginning posture. She had a gleam in her eyes, though. "And now you know."
"TOMOYO!" A loud voice crashed into the room. "Where the he-WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT IDIOT DOING IN WOMEN'S CLOTHES?" Kurogane was momentarily distracted by Fai's figure in an ice-blue furisode. Tomoyo giggled.
"I'll leave you two alone." She swept out, leaving an uncomfortable silence in her wake.
"So…." Fai had a sly look on his face. He slithered his arms around Kurogane's neck. "I learned a secret today," he whispered in Kurogane's ear.
"Oh yeah? And what in God's name might that be?" Tomoyo was right. Kuro-hai was definitely looking hot around the collar.
"You like me…" Fingers trailed down a muscular chest. Kurogane snorted derisively.
"No shit." His hands wrapped around a slender waist.
"But that's not all…you like me…" Fai got on tippy toes to whisper directly into Kurogane's ear. "…in women's clothes."
Kurogane froze. He detached Fai from his body. "…Mage. You have five seconds to—mmph!"
Fai had kissed him.
Kurogane was in denial. He knew he loved seeing Fai in women's clothes. Fai and Tomoyo knew he would never openly admit it. 'Nuff said.
A/N: Something that came to me last night. I can't say it was a dream ('cause my dream was about stickers, window bars, and a Zolo-Nami pairing (One Piece is straight. Absolutely straight.)) but call it an inspiration :) Now I will go wake up my brother and start writing chapter 4 of Valentine's Day. (You know what? I should really get that A Tale of Two Cities thing out of the way, and my summer homework…) Reviews are appreciated, but not required for drabbles like this.
