This is Blood and Moonshadows fanfic… She just forced me to type it for her….It's extremely AU… seeing as Cozarto and Byakuran never met… Obviously because Cozarto is dead in Byakuran's lifetime… Enjoy… and review.

Byakuran sat at the kitchen table, drinking coffee, and reading the newspaper. The front page featured a story about a man who was sentenced to hang for murder, which he really had no interest in, but he read it anyway. He wasn't sure why he did this, reading stupid articles, but he didn't dwell on it and continued to bore himself stupid with the article. Just your average morning.

Cozarto, who had decided to sleep in that day, came down the hall, yawning and stretching his arms over his head. When he saw his boyfriend, he rolled his eyes.

"Why do you insist on reading the newspaper when you hate it so much?" he asked. Byakuran looked up briefly before sipping his coffee and going back to the paper. Cozarto took a seat across from him at the table.

"I don't hate it," he said simply. Cozarto raised an eyebrow.

"Right," he replied skeptically, "That's why you spend an hour at least everyday ranting about how horrible it is."

"Well it is horrible." Now Cozarto was confused.

"Make up your mind, would you?" he said, exasperated.

"I have," Byakuran peered at him over his newspaper, his smirk hidden by the thick paper. Cozarto was so cute when he was annoyed. Cozarto waited for him to elaborate, but when he didn't he prompted him,

"And your decision is?"

"The newspaper is stupid."

"So you hate it."

"No, I don't."

Cozarto threw his hands in the air.

"I give up," he said. He stood and left the room, muttering something like, 'god-damned infuriating idiot' and 'does it on purpose, I swear.'

Byakuran managed not to burst out laughing until after his boyfriend was out of earshot.
