An old one-shot a did a while ago. =] I have it posted on my Deviant and it attracted a lot of hits, so I'm hoping it will be just as popular here. I would absolutely love it if you left a comment. Seriously, I would LOVE it. There are no spoilers, so it's a safe read. (I've had this posted on here in the past, so if it's familiar that's why). =] Hope you enjoy it~
"Kuro-sama, what is this?" Fai asked. He brought his delicate white fingers up to touch the small mark on his neck.
"That's a hickey," Kurogane explained, surprised by the mage's obvious question.
Fai turned so that he could see his face. "A what?" His unusually dumbfounded expression was shaded with genuine curiosity. His lips were gently parted, questioning him.
Kurogane could feel the sweat collecting on his forehead. This guy couldn't be serious. "You've…never had a hickey before?" he asked in disbelief.
"I'm not even sure what it is," the blond admitted, turning back to gaze in the mirror. After a moment his eyebrows drew together and he frowned. "It looks like a scab," he stated bluntly.
"It's not a scab," Kurogane snapped.
"Is it a bru--"
"It's not a bruise, either!" His voice was gruff. God, why was he having to explain this?
The magician looked at the other man curiously and Kurogane tried to think of a way to explain so that Fai would understand. "Look," he started, "it's like this… Ugh! Damn it!" The shinobi smashed his palm against his face. This was not in his field of expertise.
Fai continued to watch him. "So it's not a bruise or a scab?" he confirmed.
"No," Kurogane sighed. "It's something… Well, when one person…loves another…" He trailed off, scratching his head almost angrily. He could feel the heat rising in his cheeks.
"You love me, Kuro-pin?" Fai's voice interrupted.
When Kurogane glanced over the mage's face depicted a look of absolute awe. His eyes were wide and startling blue.
"…Yeah," the ninja answered after a pause.
Fai smiled before pointing to the mark with a thin finger. "So you did this because you love me?"
"Yes."
"So it's like a love bite?" He smiled happily.
Kurogane smirked. "Yeah, you could call it that."
Fai rocked back on his heels, pleased with the answer he had been given. "So Kuro-tan," he proposed lively, "If that's the case could I…have another one?" His grin widened and he pointed to a spot on his neck. "Here."
The shinobi chuckled and stepped forward. He took the man in his arms and moved so that he was resting against the blonde's shoulder. Fai was caught off guard by the advance and tried to take a step back, but Kurogane's hold prevented him from doing so.
"Sure."
Fai's eyes widened slightly, but was replaced by a smile as Kurogane began the gentle assault on his neck.
