He was never a good at giving speeches in public.

He simply just didn't know what to write about, and now he didn't even know what he wanted to say. The blonde man would always say something silly "If Kuro-tan talked to more people then he would be so popular and he wouldn't hang out with me" Fai would laugh and the world seemed right. You see when these things such as "teenage hormones" kicked in he found himself looking at the man more often, the way he moved, the way his eyes were dark blue around the irises but became light blue as they fanned out, and how his smile could light up even his dark ass room. Hell he would never admit it, but the man he was best friends with quickly became the only person Kurogane loved.

He thought about the day they had that talk by the tree and the rain that fell, he felt his hand tighten around his pencil and nearly broke it in half. He sighed and dropped his head on the desk 'What the hell am I supposed to do?' he kept musing that thought over and over again, but nothing seemed to fit in the pieces left behind.

"I cant handle you anymore" what was that supposed to mean?

He looked outside his bedroom window, the one Fai usually came through on nights like this because he felt "Scared of a bug and wanted to see Kuro-pu write his english essay" he huffed that thought away. He briskly walked over, opened the damned thing, and climbed out of it with the grace of a damn ninja. Hell if he couldn't find anything to say he'll just make shit up as he went along.

Good thing they lived very close. The walk to his house was a short one as he got to the familiar house he felt himself falter as he stood outside Fai's bedroom window, knowing fullwell that the idiot wasn't sleeping because he knew the other one so well. Too well, in fact.

Picking up his courage he knocked on the boys window probably scaring the crap out of him, or probably not since the boy got up from his bead unshaken and unlatched the lock. Opening up to the night air, Fai's face was framed with his golden blonde hair twisting in ways Kurogane didn't know could be physically possible, he noticed though, that his blue eyes still looked hollow. But there was something there, and Kurogane was too afraid to admit that he knew what that look said, because he believe he has the same look in his eyes as well.

They missed eachother. God they missed eachother so much.

Fai let Kurogane stumble into his room. Maybe Fai was a masochist, maybe he just wanted to be hurt more and more so that he would just die from it, maybe he just wanted to hear the man speak to him again. Let him yell at him one more time before pushing him away again, let him demand to know what was going on, let him figure something out and let him leave angry. But those red eyes staring at him kept him from moving anywhere, kept him from saying anything because those eyes looked like despair and pain in the purest form. He wanted to touch his face, stroak his cheek, tell him "It's gonna be okay Kuro-chi, your mother is in heaven with you father, I'm so sure that she is the happiest she's ever been in awhile." just like he had when Kuroganes mother died. That night seemed so long ago. As if forgetting everything, Fai's hand reached out and layed itself on Kurogane's cheek, thumb moving in circles absentmindedly, Kurogane place his hand on top of Fai's to hold it there. Fai got relief as soon as Kuroganes eyes drifted closed, but for only a brief second as they opened up again, looking more angry and even more scared.

His voice suprised even himself, his voice layed out a soft noise, hardly a name but more of a mere sigh "Fai.." he watched Fai's eyes light up a little bit, going wide as he noticed how amazing his name sounded on those lips. Placing his own hand on Fai's cheek he placed himself closer then they've ever gone before, meer inches apart they could feel eachothers breathing on their faces. White puffs of smoke seemed to filter out into the october night air.

He pressed his lips over the blondes, hovering above the thing he wanted most in his life. He pressed them together and then it suddenly felt like it wasn't enough. Fai's hands were clasped on Kurogane's shirt, and Kurogane had a hand in golden hair, pushing and pushing together until their breathing became labored as both of them forgot how to breathe. Breathing in his ear sent shivers down the blondes spine, "I'm so sorry, Kuro-tan, I'm so sorry." he let out a shaky breath "Im so sorry."

Kurogane's laugh filtered through the air like their smokey breath, Fai's never heard him laugh before. At least never so happily.

"Idiot"
