Kurogane stared at his lover in speechless silence, his brain having decided to go into stand-by mode. Were he a lesser man, his eyes would have widened dramatically and his mouth fall open in a very undignified way.
Which just would not do because everyone knows that Kurogane was the symbol of dignified manliness. No matter what a slightly deranged mage would try to make you believe and fortunately for Kurogane he was also a well trained ninja as well as a symbol of manliness.
Therefore his shock did not show. Outwardly that is.
"What was that all about? You never freaked out like that before when I-"
"I'm sorry Kuro-sama! It's not you… But I read- ohgod I can't even say it!"
Kurogane felt a vein starting to throb angrily on his forehead.
Fay kept spazzing and flailing wildly in despair.
"Just what the hell is wrong with you anyway?!"
Shocked, blissful silence followed.
"But Kuro-tan!" so much for the blissful silence… "That word… ever since I read this article on that 'internet' thing… I can't stop associating the two…"
The blond objected, looking torn and absolutely miserable. Kurogane felt his vein coming dangerously close to bursting.
"You are making even less sense than usual and that's saying a lot! Just show me the damn thing already so I can remove whatever stupid idea it put into your head."
He growled and pushed the mage away from the strange machine the people of this world called a 'computer' when Fay pointed to it and didn't scamper away fast enough.
There, on the 'screen', was a series of words. He quickly found he could read them (and wisely didn't ponder how both he and the mage could read the language) and he scanned the 'article' quickly, growing more puzzled by the minute.
"I don't get it, it just looks like an ordinary dictionary entry about the origins of the word 'fuck'. What made you blow a fuse about it?"
"But Kuro-rin! That part!! Did you read that part!?"
Fay pointed frantically at a certain part of the screen. Kurogane barely stopped himself from rolling his eyes skyward, sighed and looked again.
.
One reason that the word fuck is so hard to trace etymologically is that it was used far more extensively in common speech than in easily traceable written forms.
There are several urban-legend false etymologies postulating an acronymic origin for the word. Some of these urban legends are:
"Fornication Under the Control/Consent/Command of the King"
.
Kurogane blinked. Twice.
"So…. Did you even read it correctly? It says right here that's not its real origin! And what does it have to do with your earlier freaking out when I asked you if you wanted to fuck?!"
"It's just that… now every time I hear you say that…" shudders "word… I keep thinking that we are going to have sex with the consent of Ashura Ô! It's disturbing! Its like- like having your dad knows about it and giving you the ok every time you want to have sex!"
Fay finally burst into hysterics and clung to Kurogane's shirt, bawling his eyes out and babbling about father figures and how he was never going to be able to have sex ever again.
Kurogane's sanity happily shut down and went away to commit seppuku while he wondered just how many screws were loose in his lover's head.
The ninja then gave in to his earlier temptation and turned his eyes skyward, repeatedly telling himself that yes the sex was worth the craziness.
It was worth it.
Really.
