Turn Around

Disclaimer: Tsubasa belongs to CLAMP.

Pairing: Kurogane/Fye

Warnings: NOTHINHG YOU WOULDN'T SEE IN CANON. But blood, anyway.

Summary: Kurogane and Fye, a dance defined by an undefined gravity.

-

"You should drink," Kurogane said.

"I'll be fine," Fye said. "Kurogane."

He was turned away from Kurogane, as always; like an uncomfortable dance, drawn by a gravity Fye couldn't define; a concept of magic beyond what he could study.

"You're hopeless."

Fye wondered if it'd be easier if Kurogane took a step towards him. Or if he couldn't smell the blood so clearly. Of if he didn't have to remind himself not to use one of the many nicknames he'd thought of over the time they'd been together.

He turned around.

Kurogane was leaning against the wall with left arm, and the blood from his wrist was dripping down onto the floor.

Fye took a deep breath before walking over to Kurogane and kneeling before him.

-

"Why your arm?" Fye asked; it has always been Kurogane's wrist.

"It was already cut from the chess game," Kurogane said flatly.

"Oh," Fye said and smiled. It felt like something had punched him in the gut.

Kurogane didn't cut himself, he always did. It should be good, just like how Fye didn't use his nicknames. But it only made him want to crawl into a dark room and never leave.

Fye didn't bother emotionally preparing himself before licking the blood from Kurogane's arm.

-

"Do you want it?" Kurogane said, his face oddly blank.

Yes. No. More than anything. He wasn't sure if the yes or no was more than anything. Maybe the only thing more than he wanted, was to talk about it.

But maybe the two were the same.

"I have to live for Sakura-hime," Fye said. "I need to protect her."

"Then you should get it yourself," Kurogane said, tilting his neck.

Fye walked over to him, until their bodies were touching. It wouldn't take much to press his hands on Kurogane's shoulders and press his teeth into Kurogane's neck.

He turned around and began to walk away. "I'm not so hungry."

Kurogane grabbed his wrist, hard; and pulled him forward roughly.

There was nothing said as Kurogane slit his wrist and Fye knelt before him.
