30 hugs - #1 hazel eyes

"Nisei, what are you doing?"

Effeminate hazel eyes – large and bright – glanced over at Seimei. Obsidian hair was swiped out of his eyes as he sat down the pocketknife he was playing with, and the petite fighter responded coolly, "What are you talking about?"

Not bothering to suppress his aggravated sigh, Seimei snapped, "Don't play dumb with me, Nisei. Why are you wearing contacts? You don't even need glasses."

"I'm not wearing contacts." Flashing an infectious grin, Nisei kicked a pebble across the park lane, jittering his legs as a restless child would. Over yonder near the swing set was another couple, the man embracing his lover from behind as they weighed down a single swing. Nisei looked to them, and they noticed his grin but took it as an appreciative smile and waved back,

He leaned closer to Seimei, but not too close so as not to invade Seimei's personal space. "I'm not wearing contacts," he repeated softly, wondering if Seimei was in the mood to hug him.

With a subtle roll of his eyes, the BELOVED sacrifice crossed his arms over his chest; the mink fur of his coat bunching up and caressing his throat. "Lying to me is definitely not the best course of action." Yes, there was no hope for a hug.

Nisei knew, though, that he could push Seimei a little longer. Seimei was in a relatively amiable mood today, and the thin fighter meant to get his way. "I'm not lying," Nisei chirped, crossing his legs and relaxing back against the park bench. "I'm not lying!"

"Stop repeating yourself!" Without realizing it, Seimei spoke the words his fighter so desired to hear: "You are lying, because you have green irises! Not hazel!" The sacrifice's voice dropped to a low growl, "I should slap you."

"God knows I deserve it," he agreed, ever the perky smile on his face widened considerably. Not even the stinging on his cheek from the fresh slap could take away the grin.

Seimei had noticed that Nisei's eyes were green.

He noticed.

And that meant, somewhere hidden deep within the recesses of the merciless sacrifice, Seimei cared.
