Fai was pretty sure that Kurogane didn't really mind the stupid names the blonde mage gave him. Maybe in the beginning he had, but not now. Now he just rolled his eyes with a slight smile. Oh it was a smile, Fai knew that for sure. It made Fai's insides feel warm and slightly fuzzy. Not something that he had felt in a while.

Somewhere in the back of his mind Fai knew that he should stop. He should stop playing these games with the ninja. Fai was aware that he would be forced to kill the man if he didn't quit. No one was safe around him, and he was slipping up with the ninja around. He kept letting the larger man see parts of him that no one should have seen. Parts that if kept hidden would keep the others safe.

Some other part of Fai kept drowning that smaller voice out. The larger voice kept saying that it was okay. That Fai had every right to keep slipping around the other man, that the man would never let Fai fall, that he would always catch Fai. That he would love him back.

The larger voice scared Fai and he wasn't sure if he should listen to it. He was frightened of what might happen should he listen to it. Fai knew he had to choose which voice to listen to the smaller darker voice or the larger softer voice.

He had to choose.
