Nihon was a very warm country. Fai had decided that the very first time they had landed in it, but it was reaffirmed each time the trio ended up at Shirasaki castle. Perhaps it was just the castle's lavish interior, but Fai was always at calm there. He hoped the feeling at least continued through the neighboring city.

He had read of wars both old and new, of gods both protecting and destroying the lands, and of the demons consuming entire villages. It was those trips to the castle's library that he discovered Suwa, history so recent it made him shudder.

"Reading again?" he heard a gruff voice interrupt his thoughts.

"Nn, more or less. I found a book of poetry. It's a bit hard to understand some of them, but I think I get the gist," Fai said from the vanity.

Their small room consisted of few decorations, but a small dresser and mirror was given to Fai so he could upkeep his hair. He found it funny tending hair was thought so highly of in Nihon. Nevertheless, he dutifully combed it twice a day while they stayed. It was what he was doing before he was absorbed into a particularly hard haiku.

"What's it about?" Kurogane came over to help, if he could.

"Hm… Snow… peaks. The scent of flowers? And… You know, now that your over my shoulder, I think I understand it much better," Fai chuckled through his embarrassment.

Kurogane smiled from behind him and took the comb from his hands, "At least you haven't found the porn books yet."

Fai nearly yelped, "What?! Why would the castle have such things?!"

"The soldiers like them," Kurogane combed through his hair like this was a normal conversation.

"You… too?" Fai watched him through the mirror.

"I have my favorite, but I don't really need them anymore."

Fai coughed and thought for a moment. He really didn't know what to do with that information, but he couldn't help being just a bit curious.

"Kuro… could you, maybe, show me?"

Kurogane's hands stopped its movements, "I guess so… but why do you want to see it?"

Fai covered his face from the red eyes searching him through the mirror, "I don't know! I don't even know why I asked… Maybe I just… want to know what you like?"

Kurogane nodded and set the comb down. He whispered, "I like tall blondes, for one."

Fai felt himself heat up anymore, "That's not what I-"

"I know. Do you really want to know?"

Fai peeked from between his fingers, "I… yes. I do."

Kurogane took his hands, "Come with me."

"Eh? I know the way to the library," Fai called as they moved to the hallway. It was clear that was not where they were going after the first wrong turn. Kurogane certainly seemed to be in a hurry to get there.

Eventually, Fai found himself in a storage room, the door snapped shut behind him. Without any windows, the room was pitch black. Fai didn't move and inch from where he stood just so he didn't trip over anything.

Before long, a candle was lit. The room wasn't too filled to move, at least. Boxes were neatly stacked against walls. They looked to be filled with finery of all kinds from china, to silverware he thought hadn't existed in this world.

Fai picked up a fork, "I thought Nihon didn't have things like this."

"We don't. They were gifts from foreign lands. Apparently, foreigners used to come to trade, but it eventually became a problem so the Emperor at the time expelled them. Now these things just rot in here."

"Oh? But they are very pretty," Fai set it back down, "May I ask why I'm here, when you were going to show me your favorite p-"

"This."

Kurogane took no time in uncovering a tall mirror with ornate designs on the side. It was lovely, but Fai still didn't quite understand.

"This?" Fai touched the surface.

It reflected the candle light beautifully, making a nice atmosphere. Kurogane pressed himself behind Fai and looked at the two of them through the mirror.

"My favorite," he began, "Was a woman touching herself. In stead of looking down over her body, she was looking through a mirror."

Fai closed his eyes, trying to picture it for himself. It was quite the erotic thought, at least, and it was no longer a mystery why Kurogane had brought them here.

"You're a dirty pervert, Kuro-chan," Fai smiled and leaned into him.

"It that a 'no?'"

"Not really… What exactly do you want to do?"

Kurogane sat them both down, Fai nestled between his legs, "Comfortable?"

"Very comfortable," Fai grinned and looked at them through the mirror.

Kurogane hummed into Fai's ear and nipped at it, "Just do what you want."

"And you'll watch me?"

"I'll see everything."

Fai blushed at the thought but did not entirely hate it. It was intense, even more so as he got Kurogane's gaze. He was excited already. Fai wondered how long he had had this fantasy and simply kept quiet?

Fai slowly spread his legs and pushed the bottom of his robe away. He didn't feel a need to be shy. Kurogane had already seen everything he had to offer. They had done so many intimate things.

Yet, Fai couldn't stop his heart thudding in his chest.

Fai could feel Kurogane's eyes on him as he started to stroke himself. Red eyes watched every movement intently. The mage kept his strokes slow and smooth so he shouldn't curl in on himself. He understood Kurogane's want to be a voyeur and tried his best to give him a good view.

Kurogane did not keep away for very long, though. He pulled Fai's collar down and gently kissed his shoulder. His eyes never left the mirror, but his hands wandered down Fai's chest, kneading his nipples.

Fai moaned lightly and relaxed into Kuroganes chest. The storage room already felt hotter around them. Fai thought about the candle light, and how it softened his body. Kurogane really had thought this through before.

He picked up his speed instinctually. His body automatically relaxed further, legs spreading wider. Fai chuckled when he felt Kurogane swallow behind him.

Fai was forever a tease and now he had found a new way to torment his lover. This was getting more and more fun. With his free hand, Fai gripped onto Kurogane's thigh and let his moans flow out quietly.

Soon, Fai was cumming with a groan. He purred sweetly and turned to nuzzled into the warm chest behind him.

"Want me to…?" Fai slipped his hand under Kurogane's robe, but found it already wet with cum. "You… really liked it, huh."

Kurogane blushed but didn't look away, "Yeah. I did."

Fai kissed his jaw and smiled elatedly, "I had fun, too."
