Ashine-chan:another long chapter XD they keep getting longer, but here's even more kurofay for everyone to enjoy, plus a very fluffy scene lol
The hazy red eyes opened slowly as he allowed the fragrance of something pleasantly sweet fill his nostrils. He blinked again, wondering why the hell there was a fragrance other than his own in his bed. He jerked slightly in realization to find Fay snoozing gently in his arms. Kurogane felt his face flush when he noticed the blonde was cuddling into his chest, and that he was cuddling back in a very sickening manner. He gaped like a fish for a moment, but couldn't find the rudeness to awaken such a gorgeous little thing. He pimpslapped himself mentally for the thought, but still didn't move in case of waking up the sleeping figure.
Fay's fingers deftly moved from their previous spot against Kurogane's arm as his brow furrowed against the light from the bedroom window. Kurogane took that opportunity to remove himself from Fay's being, sitting up in bed and grunting as the clock told him it was still an hour until he had to leave. He looked down to the blonde over his shoulder, watching him stir awake.
Fay frowned subconsciously as Kurogane moved away from him and he found himself slowly waking. With his eyes still closed Fay ran his hand through his hair, before trying to move back to the source of warmth that had moved away from him. Kurogane put his hand on the blonde's shoulder, sighing as he stopped him from coming in closer. One night was enough; he wasn't sitting through this throughout the day too.
"Oi. Get up." He commanded. Fay grumbled before opening one eye to look in the direction of the voice.
"Kuro-rinta...five more minutes, I was comfortable." His eye closed again, before he snuggled into the cover.
"Fine. Stay here." He said, not wanting to deal with Fay's antics so early in the morning. He stood from the bed, groaning softly in awakening. He placed a hand in his pocket, turning around, not even seeing that the light was hitting his body just so.
"I'll leave you here if you want to sleep all day." He commented, knowing how much Fay wanted to go to school with him. Blue eyes opened to stare up at Kurogane. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of the shirtless man. Fay listened lazily to Kurogane's words, and as his half asleep mind registered his words, he was startled awake.
"Kuro-san, why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Fay scrambled, throwing the covers off his legs and grabbing hold of Kurogane, trying to make him hurry so they could get ready. Fay absentmindedly brushed his hair down with his other hand as he tugged on Kurogane's arm.
The human raised an eyebrow in amusement, not budging from his spot. He watched as the other struggled to get him to move faster. He was close to admitting in his mind that the childish excitement Fay had was almost heartwarming, and he had to force down a smirk from it.
"Oi, we got an hour, don't freak out." He said lightly, looking back at the clock.
"But we still need to get ready." Fay released Kurogane as the other man wouldn't budge. He didn't know where to start as he began looking around the room.
"So? All you need to do is get dressed." He said nonchalantly, shrugging before going over to the closet and pulling out an outfit for himself at random. He then itched the back of his head.
"I'm gunna take a shower. You eat."
Fay watched as Kurogane left to the bathroom, before turning to dig through his new clothes. Sifting through them he settled for the red shirt and dark pants he had liked yesterday. Sitting them at the foot of the bed, Fay moved to make the bed, his cheeks warming a little as he thought of Kurogane wrapping his arms around him. After he had finished the blonde ventured to the kitchen, wondering what he could possibly eat.
Opening the fridge he spotted the plate of vegetables Kurogane had prepared from them last night and took it. Sitting down at the table, Fay unwrapped the plate and began eating, making sure to leave some for the other man.
Fay heard the water stop suddenly, and the wet feet hit tile in the bathroom. A thought sprung abruptly out of his mind that made his face redden subconsciously; Kurogane wet and naked. He couldn't stop his mind from imagining the toned body he saw that morning dripping with warm water and suds from just bathing. Fay stopped chewing as his face flushed from thoughts of Kurogane in the shower. The door opening snapped him out of his imagination, and Fay tried to act like normal.
It didn't help that some of the usual stubborn spikes were tamed by water and falling in the tanned man's face. He had a towel wrapped around his shoulders and the buttons weren't done up on his shirt, revealing the tense muscles under skin once more. Kurogane raised an eyebrow again.
"I thought you would want sweets in the morning."
"Ah, I actually forgot about them, this was the first thing I saw." Fay was surprised that he had forgotten about them, but seeing Kurogane wasn't helping him remember that it was now his turn to shower. He couldn't help himself from staring at every inch of skin visible as he rested his chin against his hand. Kurogane hadn't quite caught on yet, for he simply grunted and walked over to the other chair and lounged. He had one arm over the back of the chair and was using the other hand to pick up slices of vegetables and fruit.
"Oi oi oi! What're you staring at?"
"Nothing, Kuro-rin." Fay smiled and rose from the table, not wanting to be delayed any further, despite wanting to continue staring at Kurogane. He hoped the other man wouldn't notice how he was blushing. Kurogane continued to stare back in question, but refrained from voicing his curiosity. The alien had to wonder just why it was this human that was so pleasantly handsome. All the other humans looked ok, but this one was especially taunting.
Fay left the kitchen, making his way towards the bedroom quickly to pick up his clothes before venturing to the bathroom. Shutting the door behind him, Fay set his clothes atop the sink and pulled Kurogane's shirt over his head and into the hamper the human had pointed out to him the other day. Stepping inside the shower, Fay slide the glass door shut before turning the knobs. This time he was prepared for the cool water that assaulted his skin. Adjusting the temperature he relaxed, taking various bottles and cleaning himself. Before too long the alien shut the water off and stepped out, eyes scanning for a towel. Not seeing one, he contemplated what he would do. Deciding it best to call Kurogane, instead of possibly getting into something he wasn't supposed to, Fay yelled.
"Kuro-tan!" He heard the heavy footsteps come down the hall and stop once the bathroom door was opened.
"What?" Kurogane called from the other side of the shower.
"I need a towel. I didn't see one and I didn't want to start going through your things." Fay said as he opened the shower door slightly so he could see Kurogane. He smiled sheepishly as he looked at the other man. Kurogane blushed slightly when he saw Fay peek out, but he scoffed and went toward the laundry room. He came back shortly, handing the blonde a towel to use.
"Tch. Get one before you go in next time."
"Not my fault Kuro-min didn't give me a tour of his house." Fay chuckled before drawing back to dry himself off quickly. The blonde then wrapped the damp towel around his waist, still remembering Kurogane's scolding from before, as he stepped out of the shower. Kurogane had moved into the bedroom, shuffling through his nightstand as he looked for excess pencils. Damn teachers and their note taking, he cussed vibrantly in his head.
Fay moved, letting the towel drop from his waist as he gathered his pants from the sink top. Pulling them on, the blonde struggled a bit, due to his still damp skin, before buttoning them. Next was his shirt. Looking at himself in the mirror Fay straightened his shirt and took a hand, pulling the rest of his hair from his shirt. The blonde moved outside from the bathroom, heading towards the bedroom. Kurogane stood up straight when Fay entered, looking over to the blonde. He felt his face heat up when he saw the clothing he had liked on the lithe man, and turned away again, not saying anything.
"Kuro-kun, can we go now?" Fay said as he walked over to the man, trying to look over his shoulder to see what he was doing.
"No, I'm not done putting my things together." He said flatly, tapping the desk with his pencils whilst he looked for his notebook. Goddamn school supplies.
"We still have a while anyway..."
"But now I'm booored." Fay fell backwards onto the made bed, his arms and legs stretched out as he frowned. Kurogane growled in irritation, glaring at the blonde slightly.
"Then go entertain yourself." He said simply turning on his heel as he left the room to put his things away. Screw the notebook. Fay lifted himself from the bed, wondering over to the desk Kurogane had been searching in. On closer inspection he noticed a notebook sticking out from a pile of papers. Flipping through it he saw pages of notes and wondered if it was important.
Turning on his heel Fay left the room notebook in hand as he searched for Kurogane. The man was sitting on the couch, stuffing a book into his backpack with little effort. He then set down some papers on the desk that looked previously sorted. He looked up to Fay when he entered, and then to the notebook. He stopped moving, pointing to it.
"...."
"This?" Fay held up the notebook confused as he walked up to Kurogane.
"Where'd you find it?" The taller asked offhand, taking the notebook and looking in it to a specific page. It had more equations on it that the student had been writing down the night before.
"On the desk, is it important?" Fay felt himself smiling as he thought of doing something for the other man.
"Hnn... it has my homework in it." He replied quietly, placing the notebook behind the book in the sack. He zipped it up then, standing and swinging the bag on his arm.
"Ready?"
"Yes, Kuro-sama!" Fay hurried to the front door, slipping on his shoes as he waited eagerly for Kurogane to catch up. The taller man did so, opening the door afterwards and letting Fay walk out first so he could lock his door. They heard a car drive by slowly, and talking. It didn't take long for Fay to hear:
"Howdy Fay-chan! Going out with Kurogane now?" Sang the familiar peppy voice. The other dark haired man felt a vein pop out angrily.
"Hello Sorata, Kuro-chu's taking me to school today!" Fay waved as he smiled brightly at the older man. Sorata whistled, looking over to a woman in the passenger seat.
"I see! Honey and I are going on a day-trip. We'll be back tomorrow! Have fun learning!" He said happily before he continued driving. Kurogane growled at the retreating car, hands on hips.
"Asshole...."
"Kuro-chan should be nice to Sorata." Fay poked the taller man on the cheek before walking towards the human's motorcycle.
"Tch. Why the hell should I?" Kurogane asked with a hostile tone. He opened the compartment with the helmets and took them out, dumping his backpack in their place. He handed Fay his and sat on the bike.
"He's only trying to be nice." Fay put the helmet on before climbing onto the motorcycle. His arms wrapped around Kurogane's waist as he rested his cheek against the other's broad back. Doing so instantly brought flashbacks of last night to both of them, heating the air around them at least 2 more degrees. Kurogane said nothing on the Sorata comment and started the bike, trying to occupy his thoughts with something other than Fay and him snuggling. The lithe man wondered about Kurogane's lack of a reply, usually the other man was quick to yell. Instead the blonde tightened his hold while trying to keep himself from thinking about waking up in Kurogane's arms. His eyes scanned the horizon, taking in the views of both the country side and the town as they sped passed.
They both found themselves unable to think of anything other than that night and morning. Good thing they had helmets on, they both thought, in case the other looked to see his blush. Kurogane grumbled as he was forced to slow in town, going in a different direction to get to his University. Fay kept his eyes on the shops and people walking down the streets as he felt the bike slow. He noticed they had turned and lifted his head from its resting place against Kurogane. He saw a large expanse of buildings ahead with numerous cars parked on all sides; several people were walking from building to building.
Kurogane swerved to the side, driving into the parking lot. He swayed in and out the rows until he found a parking spot near the entrance, oddly enough, and zoomed into it. He stopped the vehicle and took off his helmet, shaking his somewhat damp hair. He turned to Fay.
"Oi, let go." Fay removed his own helmet as he released the taller man.
"Kuro-run's mean." The blonde smiled before hopping off the bike. He stood taking in the sight of the school, he smiled brightly trying to keep his excitement contained. The dark haired man stood as well and switched his backpack for the helmets once again, locking up the container and placing the keys in his pocket.
"Ok, let's go." He said simply, starting to walk toward the building.
"Don't get left behind; I don't want to have to come and find your sorry ass."
"Yes, Kuro-chan." Fay said as he walked beside Kurogane. Blue eyes scanned the various buildings they passed; he turned to look at Kurogane briefly, wanting to ask the taller man question after question about the school and about Kurogane. People passed them and in the same fashion as those from town whispered as they passed. He returned his gaze to Kurogane to gauge the other's reaction. Was it really so hard to believe the human had a companion?
"I wanted to thank you Kuro-min for bringing me." Fay smiled warmly at Kurogane. The other cast a sidelong glance at the smaller and grunted, as if to say you're welcome. He slipped his hands in his pockets and glared angrily at the next passerby's. He wanted to let everyone know that he wasn't doing this because he wanted to, dammit.
Smiling, the blonde turned away from Kurogane as they walked towards one of the buildings. Fay continued to look curiously at the school, wondering about what kind of classes there were, how students learned, though he had to admit to himself that he was even more curious as to how Kurogane interacted here, how the human went about his daily routine here. Kurogane opened the door to a close by building and walking in, his hand still on the glass to allow Fay to follow. He then went to another door and opened it in the same manner. When they arrived inside, Fay could see millions of books behind more glass. Fay was about to tease Kurogane for being a gentleman when he noticed said room coming into view. Could this have been the library?
"This is very impressive Kuro-pipi." Fay said almost breathlessly as he looked at the rows of shelves filled with books. The taller shrugged.
"It ain't a lot. I've seen bigger." He replied flatly, nodding toward the door.
"You'll wait here until I'm outta class. It'll be for about an hour, so do what you like."
"Is it alright for me to read these?" Fay said as he began reading the titles on various book spines.
"It's up to you if you wanna read them or not." Kurogane said gruffly, beginning to walk away.
"Kuro-sama will hurry back won't he?" Fay turned to watch Kurogane's retreating form. The feeling of being alone began to swell inside him again. The human turned again, only this time he continued walking.
"What do you think, idiot?" He called back, although he did feel kind of flattered that Fay was so eager to be with him. It had been awhile since he got that vibe from anyone, including Tomoyo and Sakura. Fay felt himself smiling again, which was becoming a quick habit of his since he had met Kurogane. After watching the other man leave Fay turned on his heel and began searching for something to occupy his time with. Fay looked up seeing a sign reading 'Fiction' near the back of the room. Shrugging his shoulders the blonde moved towards the rows of books, eyes scanning for something that would catch his interest.
Fingers deftly moved over spine after spine, reading titles and sighing as nothing seemed to catching his interest and he was almost at the end of the shelf too. Something red caught his eye just as he was nearly finished. Gold lettering met his eyes and Fay pulled the book from its place.
"Romeo and Juliet." Fay read the title aloud and opened the book to its front page. Deciding it looked promising, Fay moved to find a place to sit so he could start reading. Finding a secluded table away from the entrance Fay took a seat and opened the book.
The little alien had nearly finished two scenes by the time he looked up from the book to try and find a clock to read. In the distance he could see the red numbers of a digital clock and was excited to see it wouldn't be long until Kurogane would be arriving.
The book was finished by the time he saw Kurogane enter, his backpack slung on one arm like always. He looked around briefly before spotting Fay and walking over.
"Oi."
"Kuro-rinta!" Fay closed the book, placing it on the table as he turned around in his seat to smile at Kurogane. The taller snorted.
"Didn't I tell you to stop calling me that? And we're in a library, be quiet." He ordered, sitting in a chair next to Fay. He set down his backpack before looking at the book the blonde was reading.
"What the hell?"
"It's a very romantic book. There's even fighting in it so Kuro-min might like it. I'll have to read more from this Shakespeare." Fay said as he looked at Kurogane.
"I know what it is, I've read it before. Why the hell of all the books in here would you wanna read crap like that?" The taller asked, pulling out a book of his own. The one he had read 'Advanced Technician Studies' across the spine.
"Hopeless romantic I guess." Fay laughed. He watched as Kurogane took a book from his bag.
"Kuro-chan is more into non-fiction then?"
"Tch, I don't give a damn about books." He replied, opening it to a page in the back.
"Then Kuro-min is studying?" Fay looked on as Kurogane began reading.
"How was class? It was a bit boring without Kuro-san, even with the book to read."
"Class is shit, always will be too." He said gruffly, not really focusing on his book. He let his eyes travel over to the Shakespearean novel.
"...Have you read anything else?"
"No, this was the only one I found interesting." Fay smiled thoughtfully, thinking about the book's characters. Kurogane paused for a moment, then looked over to the fiction section.
"... I'll be here a while still..." He said slowly.
"...And I have another class soon..."
"Does Kuro-chu have any recommendations?" Fay grabbed hold of his book, ready to stand as he waited for Kurogane to answer. Kurogane snorted again, leaning back in his chair.
"Not really..." He paused again, looking down to his own book.
"There's a book over there with a bunch of crap he wrote in it, you can read that." Nodding in acknowledgement Fay stood up, moving towards the shelf he had gotten his book from. Placing it back on the shelf he scanned for any other books by the author. Finding several, he pulled one out and looked over its cover. 'Shakespeare's Sonnets' was written in bold print, he turned the book over reading the book summary, not knowing what a 'sonnet' meant.
Fay returned to his seat beside Kurogane still looking over the back cover. Deciding it wouldn't be too bad; Fay opened it and began reading. When Kurogane saw what book the blonde had retrieved, he tried not to chuckle at how faggy that one was. He had read about three of those sonnets and chucked the book away from him, disgusted at how gushy they were. He looked back at the clock and got comfortable, trying to concentrate on his large amount of homework.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" Fay quoted; having skipped over some of the sonnet's to find more interesting ones. He smiled at Kurogane, who was intently studying.
Said man stopped flatly and looked up to Fay in a incredulous manner before frowning.
"No."
"For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings, that I scorn to change my state with kings." Fay skimmed through the book, enjoying Kurogane's reaction. He held the book partially closed in his hands as he looked over to the human.
"It's very...sweet; don't you think Kuro-min?"
"No, it's vomit-worthy. Either stop reading it aloud or go put it back on the shelf." He said bluntly, looking back to his work with a glowering expression.
"Full of many glorious morning have I seen." Fay trailed off, thinking it best not to cause any trouble here; after all he didn't want to be kicked out. His eyes found a line that stopped his skimming. It was a simple line, not even the full sentence either. 'Lord of my Love'. Such a beautiful title. He looked over to Kurogane to see a faint blush over his face, due to his earlier line-reading. Glorious mornings.... mornings... mornings with Kurogane... cuddling.... it must've been what was on the other's mind.
"Kuro-san's blushing; maybe he is a closet romantic after all?" Fay felt his on face warm at the line and thoughts of arms around him.
"S-shut up! I'm not blushing and I'm NOT a closet romantic!" He hissed vehemently, also not wanting to get kicked out because of some idiot blonde who wouldn't stop aggravating him. He sighed angrily, shoving thoughts of their night to the back of his mind as he tried once again to concentrate.
"Kuro-tan's so cute when he blushes." With a somewhat evil glint in his eye Fay moved to place a hand on Kurogane's forehead.
"Though if Kuro-kun insists he's not blushing, then he might be sick." Kurogane moved away from Fay, glaring.
"Don't touch me or I'm taking you home." He warned. Fay lowered his hand and picked the book back up.
"Let me confess that we two must be twain..." Fay stopped abruptly, his mind racing to other thoughts before he hurriedly picked up another line.
"Nor thou with public kindness honour me." Fay could almost see the anger radiating off Kurogane.
"Kuro-tan, I didn't mean to make you so angry, I was only teasing. I'll be good." Fay looked downcast at the partially opened book, not wanting to go back alone.
"...thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, For thee, and for myself, no quiet find..." The taller then recited quietly, almost as if he didn't mean to say it out loud. When he realized he had, red eyes opened widely and then looked at Fay, a faint blush growing darker.
"How can I return thy happy plight?" Fay spoke softly, in return to Kurogane's words. The taller man blinked and his face turned somewhat gentle. It only lasted a moment due to the fact Kurogane realized he and Fay were being watched by several of the other students. He grunted and gathered up his things rather quickly, blushing a little deeper before standing.
"I have to go to class." He said in a hurry. Fay sighed dejectedly, watching Kurogane's retreating form. He watched as the other students wandered off. Turning back, Fay buried himself in the book, reading page after page of poetry, all the while thinking of Kurogane.
It didn't take as long as the last time for the taller man to return, his book bag on the other shoulder as he entered. This time he didn't sit down.
"Oi. Let's go."
"Just a second Kuro-san." Fay stood before quickly walking over to the shelves to replace the book. Turning on his heel, with his hands behind his back, Fay smiled.
"I'm ready." The dark skinned man grunted and led the way out, still receiving stares as he walked with Fay. The blonde followed close behind as they reached the parking lot and Kurogane's motorcycle. He blatantly ignored the stares they were getting both from the library and outside. Kurogane seemed to as well, for all he did was dump his backpack into the compartment and handed Fay his helmet. He then sat down, starting the bike.
Used to the routine, Fay moved behind Kurogane, wrapping his arms around him as he waited for them to leave. The taller pulled out of the space and zipped out of the parking lot, headed back for home. He felt weird now, having memorized that one poem back when he was in junior high school. Why the hell did it have to come back to him now, after what had happened the night before?
Fay couldn't keep himself from blushing at the moment that had shared on the library and what had happened earlier this morning. He was glad for the bike ride, at least now Kurogane wouldn't see his face, even though the long ride made him think of why the other man made him react in such a way. It then traveled into the smaller man's mind that they were similar to the first story he had read.
Romeo and Juliet had fallen in love at first sight, got married, had sex, and died, all within the time frame of three days. The falling in love part was friendship, got married was town-outings, had sex was the cuddling, and dying... well... that hadn't happened yet, and it was the third day... how odd...
He had wondered what the last part might mean as his eyes drifted lazily over the scenery. Kurogane's house slowly came into view as they got closer, the ride seeming a little shorter that time. The driver pulled over to the side of the shelter, stopping the bike and turning it off. He pulled off his helmet and growled lightly when his mind wouldn't get the fucking thought of Fay out of his fucking head! Dammit!
"Is something wrong Kuro-min?" Fay said as he removed his helmet. He had heard the human growling and wondered if it had had anything to with him.
"No." The student declined flatly, dismounting his motorcycle and pulling out his backpack after Fay had removed himself from the bike.
"Tch... let's go inside already..." He grumbled lowly, not wanting to look at Fay at the moment.
"Kuro-myu doesn't sound fine." Frowning he decided not to push the issue and followed Kurogane inside, closing the door behind him.
"Today was fun Kuro-minta, didn't you think?" Fay asked as he slipped off his shoes, one hand against the wall as he balanced on one leg. He shifted and almost fell as he removed his other shoe, stumbling a bit forward as he did. Kurogane's hand shot out to catch him, pulling him back up in an upward position.
"Oi! Be careful idiot! You'll reopen wounds!" He scolded, irritated further. He took off his own shoes and tossed his bag to the couch, not wanting to do the homework. He then looked at the blonde, making sure he didn't do anything else to suggest harmfulness.
"Is Kuro-puu worried about me?" Fay smiled as he followed Kurogane further into the house. The other grunted, turning and walking to where his backpack was.
"Tch, no. I just don't want to waste more of my medicine on you because you were an idiot. That stuff's not cheap you know!" He plopped down next to his backpack, shoving it off onto the floor. Fay moved to sit beside Kurogane, careful as not to step on the other's backpack.
"Kuro-myu, I had fun today even if I didn't get to go with you to class." Fay placed his hands in his lap thinking of their time in the library.
"Did Kuro-study have fun?" The other paused and looked at the blonde, contemplating an answer. He grunted turning his head back to face forward.
"Damn blonde..." Which meant yes. He leaned forward and grabbed a book from his coffee table and opened it.
"......" He looked back over to the alien.
"...how are you wounds?" He had become curious since the earlier mention of them.
"They feel better, but now that they're healing my skin's itchy, but other than that it's no worse than a sunburn." Fay had ignored the sensation all day, not wanting to disturb the bandages.
"Kuro-sama's adorable when he worries, even if it doesn't show that he really is."
"Quit saying cute crap like that; it's revolting." Kurogane shot back, followed by a glare. He sighed, rubbing his temple. It wasn't his fault the blonde was on his mind all day, it was the blonde's!
"But it's true!" Fay leaned against Kurogane, a hand on his shoulder as he locked eyes with the taller man.
"There's just no denying it." His other hand poked the human's forehead to emphasize his point.
"You're annoying, and there's no denying that." The taller growled, pulling away from Fay, though he couldn't look away.
"I'm not that bad am I Kuro-rinta?" Fay smiled warmly even after Kurogane shrugged his hand away.
"Yes." He answered flatly, glowering a little more before turning back to his book, not caring that the other was still on him. He blushed slightly, his eyes on the book and words but his mind on the one next to him. Fay chuckled, as he leaned closer to Kurogane to look at the book the other was holding, all the while not paying attention to how he was still touching the other man.
Fay's balance was lost from him absentmindedly not caring about distributing weight, and therefore landed in Kurogane's lap. The other squawked indignantly out of surprise, his hands rising above the other.
"I-idiot!"
"Sorry about that Kuro-san, I guess I am clumsy." Fay smiled sheepishly from his current position to cover the blush threatening to cover his cheeks. The student was having no such luck, blush covering from ear to ear. He growled and grabbed a hold of Fay's shoulder, pulling him off.
"Moron! When something like that happens you don't just sit there and smile stupidly!"
"I didn't want to make any sudden moves in case you wanted to attack." He could barely contain his laughter as he was pulled up by Kurogane. The other pointed furiously at Fay.
"Shut up you! Why the hell would I attack you?!" He barked angrily, not hearing a knock on the door.
"Kuro-wankoro's bark is far worse than his bite it seems." Fay's teasing stopped abruptly as he heard a knock at the door. Kurogane was about to retaliate, but realized Fay's alertness and closed his mouth.
"What is it?" He asked peevishly. His question was answered by another, harsher knock. Kurogane growled and looked out the window, cursing lightly when he saw his visitors. He turned to Fay.
"You. Go to the bedroom. Don't come out if you value your life." He ordered, his tone putting all joking aside. No matter whom you were, Kurogane would not disagree with trying to protect someone from something as horrible as what the authorities could do. Fay immediately felt the once pleasant atmosphere of the house draining away and becoming too serious. With Kurogane's demand, Fay hurried to the bedroom, trying not to make too much noise as he did. The blonde turned as he entered the room, closing the door as quietly as possibly and held his breath, hoping it wasn't anything to serious and wished for Kurogane to be safe.
His sharp hearing allowed him to listen to Kurogane sigh in relief when Fay obeyed, and then him getting up to open the door.
"What the hell do you want?" Kurogane asked gruffly, sounding totally pissed. Fay heard a flap of paper.
"We have a warrant to search your house, Mr. Suwa. May we come in?" The officer said pleasantly. Kurogane's voice rumbled low and dangerously in his throat, but the alien could hear feet shuffling aside and more enter the house.
"Where's your girlfriend, Mr. Suwa?"
"She's... she's in the bedroom. Leave her alone. She's busy." Kurogane commanded vehemently, making Fay's heart flutter at the fact he was doing everything he could to protect him.
"I'd like to speak to her."
"I said she's busy, dammit." More shuffling of feet.
"I'm afraid you have no choice in the manner, Mr. Suwa." Fay backed away from the door, panicking as to what he should do, he could try to transform into a girl, but something like that might not be quick enough. Scanning the room for anything, Fay went into the closet as he threw off his shirt. Seeing one of Kurogane's he slipped it over his head. Hopefully the baggy shirt would hide the fact he had no cleavage, whereas his own shirt would leave nothing to the imagination.
The door opened then, and who entered was a dark haired man with small round glasses. He was smiling faintly, but it vanished when he saw Fay. A light blush spread across his cheeks when he saw the blonde, his eyes traveling up and down the lithe body hidden by Kurogane's clothing. He regained his smile and bowed slightly.
"Ma'am, if you'd join us in the living room..." Fay was startled as the bedroom door was opened and upon seeing the slightly taller man he felt uneasy, especially with the way his eyes roamed over his body. His eyes looked passed the officer, trying to see a sign of Kurogane. Finding none, Fay ventured slowly out, the officer stepping to the side to allow the blonde to exit the room. He hoped that once they started to question him his voice would be able to pass as female.
The other two were looking about the living room, both with dark hair and looking similar. One somewhat resembled Kurogane, with his spiky hair, but oddly shaped glasses made them different completely. Kurogane was obviously not amused, folded arms and glowering in the corner as he watched them nitpick his room. His red eyes glanced over to Fay, noticing his shirt on the smaller.
Fay smiled nervously as he approached Kurogane, seeking the other man as the three strangers surveyed and inspected every inch of the room. In any other circumstance Fay would have blushed at standing so close to Kurogane, but now he was just happy the human was there. Kurogane would've normally pushed Fay away from standing so close, but instead he moved closer, almost to where their bodies were touching. His ruby orbs surveyed the men as they all stopped and turned to the 'couple'.
The other two who hadn't seen Fay flinched, seeing his abnormal beauty, but quickly regained themselves with an identical smile. The one who had retrieved the blonde gestured to the couch.
"Shall we sit and chat?" Fay looked up at Kurogane, trying to see what he should do, still not trusting himself to speak or the other men in the room. Kurogane placed a hand on Fay's back gently before walking over to the couch. Fay felt a faint blush creeping along his cheeks at the gesture but followed him closely anyway. The three men took seats on the other chairs in the room, one bringing a stool in from the kitchen. Kurogane sat back in the couch, knowing this would take a while.
As both men sat down, Fay was happy to have Kurogane so close to him, especially with the leers from the policemen. Slowly he crossed his legs and placed his hands on his lap waiting for the men to continue. The one with the longest hair, the one had called Fay, smiled and folded his hands in his lap as well.
"I'm Kyle Rondart; this is Fuuma Monou and Seishirou Sakurazuka, my partners. May we have your name, miss?" Kurogane growled lowly.
"She's Yuui Celes." Kyle's eyes narrowed at Kurogane, but the smile did not falter.
"Can she not speak for herself, Mr. Suwa?"
"Ah, it's perfectly alright." Fay spoke quietly, placing a hand on Kurogane's arm in a comforting manner. Kurogane looked at Fay for a moment, then to the men. Kyle smiled wider and sat up straighter, his eyes falling on the hand that was on Kurogane's arm.
"I see you have a bandage on your wrist... where did you get that from, Ms. Celes?"
"Kuro-san keeps telling me I'm clumsy and for once he was right." Fay smiled trying to seem as innocent as possible.
"He also warned me about his motorcycle, but I wasn't paying attention." The one named Fuuma let his expression falter slightly, catching the nickname. Kyle blinked and sighed, hearing that Kurogane was telling the supposed truth about 'her' injuries. He pushed his glasses further up his nose with his finger.
"Have you sustained any other injuries, ma'am?"
"Nothing too serious…" Fay paused thinking.
"…a few bruises." He saw the other men trying to find fault with his story.
"And you, Mr. Suwa, were you with Ms. Celes when she had her... accident?" Kurogane glowered at the one who asked him a question, Seishirou.
"I was asleep. She was coming home from the market." Kyle looked at Seishirou and nodded.
"I see. What exactly happened to make you crash, Ms. Celes?"
"As I said before, I was being careless and fell once I had gotten home; luckily I wasn't hurt too bad and could walk inside." Subconsciously Fay's hand tightened around Kurogane's arm under the gaze of the policemen.
"I called for Kuro-sama, he woke up and helped take care of my wrist."
"You mentioned before it was a motorcycle 'accident' that had caused her wound, Mr. Suwa." Kyle said, sitting back in his seat as if he smugly called him guilty. Kurogane just stared.
"She fell getting off." He said, looking down to Fay.
"Kuro-kun's always yelling at me for not paying attention." He smiled sheepishly, hoping the others would buy his act. Kyle paused for a moment before looking at Fuuma. That man smiled back and leaned forward on the stool.
"Did either of you feel or hear an earthquake about two days ago? Coming from the west?" Kurogane snorted.
"The hell I did. I answered that question the first time you dickwads came." Fuuma continued to smile.
"And you said you didn't go investigate?"
"Yeah, I stayed here and worked on my freaking class work." He grumbled lowly, the hate for school was no lie.
"Did something bad happen? Kuro-rin and I were busy here so we didn't look into it." Fay looked worriedly up at Kurogane. He had hoped these men would have left sooner and after he was having such a good time with Kurogane too. Surely they couldn't have that many questions to ask. Kurogane simply kept his arms folded, glaring at the head man. Kyle smiled back.
"Nothing too serious, something that isn't important enough to worry about. What exactly were you two busy with that you couldn't go and check it out?"
"Wasn't interested." Kurogane shot back immediately. Fuuma raised an eyebrow.
"Come now, surely something was keeping you from-"
"Fine. We were fucking, happy?" Kurogane spat, obviously wanting these three gone. All three men blinked at Kurogane's words, not knowing how to respond to that. Though Seishirou gave a lecherous smirk and Fuuma smiled in kind manner. Kyle simply stared wide eyed at Fay.
"K-Kuro-tan!" Fay knew he was blushing furiously, bringing his hands up to cover his face as he leaned against Kurogane, trying to further cover himself. Of all the things Kurogane could have said, why would he choose that? Fay felt dizzy at the mental image and tried to hide himself away further in Kurogane's side.
"Tch, these guys wanted an answer, blame them." Kurogane said to Fay, trying his hardest to keep himself from blushing too. Gods, he didn't know what to say! It was that stupid persistent one, not him!
"But Kuro-san shouldn't go around telling people about that." Fay tried to take deep breaths, trying to calm his quickly beating heart. Kyle coughed, obviously ruffled by Kurogane's blunt words.
"Y-yes, I-I see..." He said slowly, fixing his glasses again nervously. The alien lowered his hands momentarily to gauge Kurogane's, as well as the officers, reactions. Seeing Kyle almost as embarrassed as he felt made it a little better, but as he looked at the other two he couldn't help but think they were imagining him like that. Fay frowned and leaned against Kurogane, not feeling comfortable at all anymore in the strangers' presence.
Kurogane caught onto the vibe, glancing down to see his houseguest before looking back to Kyle.
"Now, if you're done, I'd appreciate you asswipes to get the hell out of my house." He commanded coldly, watching as Kyle jerked to his harsh tone. They all exchanged a smile and stood, Kyle still blushing.
"Y-yes, yes, of course. Thank you for your time." He said. Kurogane then stood, holding his hand out to Fay to help him up. When the three men were out the door and Kurogane had slammed it rather loudly, Fay's hearing for once made him wish he was deaf:
"Well, I guess they're out of the question..."
"Only you would say that Kyle... Tell you one thing; that Kurogane fellow certainly has a nice piece of beauty to fuck.... I wouldn't mind filling that roll...."
"Seishirou you're disgusting." That Kyle guy stammered. Fuuma laughed.
"Oh come on, you know she was pretty hot." that was the last thing heard before doors closed and a car started and drove off. Fay covered his face with one hand as he listened to the officers' conversation. He didn't truly look that much like a woman, did he? He looked over at Kurogane briefly before closing his eyes in another attempt to calm himself down.
Kurogane looked at Fay and blushed, rubbing the back of his head. He guessed things would be pretty awkward from now on.
"O-oi... I only said that because I didn't want them to find out who you are..." He stammered, turning away.
"It seemed as though those other men agreed, apparently I'm a very attractive woman." Fay didn't really know why, but he felt almost angry. Maybe it was because he felt Kurogane's words as some sort of rejection? The blonde shook his head at the idea; Kurogane wasn't the type to not tell people how he felt about them to their face regardless of the outcome.
The other looked down at his feet, blushing deeper as the memory came back. He put his hand over his face and sighed; he was never going to live that down, not even to himself. He recovered in physical appearance, walking over to the couch and sitting down. He picked up a book and flipped through it, occasionally flashing a look up to Fay. Just as awkwardly as Kurogane, the lithe man moved back towards the couch taking a seat next to the other man.
"Does Kuro-min not like me then?" Fay couldn't bring himself to look the human in the eye. He idly looked anywhere but the man in question. His mind kept going back to the officers and his blush was back full force. Kurogane set the book in his lap, looking over to Fay in a nervous way. He paused, trying to think of the right words before sighing.
"Blondie... there are things you do that frustrate me, but I couldn't bring myself to dislike you. there are things you do that confuse me, but I can't dislike you..." He said awkwardly, looking back down to the book with mirrored blush.
"What do you mean then?" Fay turned to look at Kurogane who was blushing just as much as he was. He felt his heart race and off handedly wondered if it was healthy for his heart to go to such highs so often, but as he awaited Kurogane's answer he couldn't bring himself to care. The student looked at Fay with narrowed eyes.
"Hell, what else do you expect me to say?" He said defensively, gripping his fists tight on his knees. He couldn't be asking for something they both subconsciously wanted... could he?
"I...I like Kuro-tan." Fay turned his face away as he spoke, his mouth went dry and his throat tightened. He truly did feel feverish as he clutched the fabric of his pant legs tightly in anticipation. It seemed like an eternity after he had spoken and fearing the worst glanced over at Kurogane. The red eyes were wide as he stared at Fay, mouth hanging open slightly. His expression softened for a moment before he leaned down. He placed a hand on Fay's cheek, touching their lips together after saying;
"I... I like Fay too..."
Fay tensed from pure shock as Kurogane leaned close to him and once their lips had met the alien had truly thought for a moment he was going to die.
"Kuro-chii..." He whispered breathlessly after they parted. With half lidded eyes as he stared into Kurogane's eyes. The taller stared back, truly at a loss for what to do. Why the HELL did he just DO that DAMMIT!? He would have to mutilate himself for that later, at least mentally.
"...."Fay looked up at Kurogane when the other didn't reply. Fay moved back, a sense of dread washing over him as he really looked at Kurogane.
"I-I'm sorry." Fay moved quickly back and stood, walking briskly to the bedroom. Once inside he locked the door and moved to sit at the foot of the bed, his head clutched in his hands as his elbows dug into his thighs. He was confused, more so than he had ever been before and now he didn't know what to do, the look Kurogane had given him had made his stomach drop. Fay sat wondering what he should do.
The little alien heard the taller curse lightly before standing. He heard fast steps walking to the bedroom.
"Oi! Open up!" The human commanded, placing his hand on the door frame.
"I apologized, I didn't mean to make you do anything." The blonde said dejectedly from his spot on the bed. He didn't move to open the door, hoping the other would just leave him alone and cool off without having to yell at him.
"I said open the FUCKING DOOR, BLONDIE." Kurogane raised his voice, getting agitated easily. Stupid emotions.
Fay drew his knees up to his chest, willing himself not to get upset. Kurogane was probably going to be furious at him once he stepped foot inside the room, so instead of opening the door Fay sat quietly hoping Kurogane would give up and let him be. Said man growled again, this time leaning against the door.
"If you don't open it up, I'll break it down, it's your choice. Either you let me in, or you make me destroy my door that'll cause more hassle than necessary." He hissed, trying to keep his voice even.
"I told you I was sorry, what more do you want?!" Fay was surprised at himself for yelling back. It only caused him to clutch his legs to himself harder. Kurogane must really hate him now, if the human was threatening to break his own door down. Biting his lip, Fay didn't utter another word and rested his face against his knees.
"I want to look you in the eye and tell you something, Moron!" He heard suddenly, the voice somewhat wavering.
"I...I don't want to hear it." Fay knew, he knew Kurogane was going to force him to leave. Silently Fay cursed himself for getting so attached, he had never really meant for it to happen, but there was just something about the other man that stirred something within him. He rubbed his face furiously, so as to try and not cry, with so many things happening at once Fay was overwhelmed.
The taller paused and sighed, folding his arms and leaning against the wall across from the door. He decided it was better to wait than to yell, for once. He could certainly use this time to find his own feelings out. He had meant what he said, true, but to what extent did he like him? He just didn't know.
Not hearing another protest Fay turned his gaze towards the door. Perhaps Kurogane had left? No, Fay knew he would have heard the other man walk off if he had. Then what was the other man waiting for? Fay set his legs back on the floor and waited for a few seconds to see if the door would suddenly fall down. When it didn't look likely Fay thought that maybe Kurogane had calmed down. Slowly and cautiously Fay stood, but not before wiping at his eyes again just in case.
Carefully he unlocked the door and opened it a few inches to peek outside. He held back a startled gasp as he saw Kurogane leaning against the opposite wall. Said man opened his eyes slowly, glowering slightly at the smaller. This time his eyes weren't filled with hate or anger... but something else... something else that Fay couldn't look away from. Kurogane stood straight, letting his folded arms untangle and drop to his sides. He then walked slowly over to Fay, opening up the door all the way so the alien couldn't get away.
"Willing to listen now?"
"I...yes." There was no point in arguing with the man, he couldn't get away from him even if he wanted to. Fay moved back to his former seat on the bed, gaze downcast as he waited for Kurogane to speak. The student turned and closed the door, then facing Fay, he walked over and sat next to him.
"Oi, look at me." He said in a gruff manner, though not forcefully. Fay's hands fisted the cover underneath him as he slowly lifted his head and met Kurogane's gaze. Biting his lower lip he waited for Kurogane to finish. The human's jaw clenched before he sighed, looking at the blonde.
"If there's one thing you shouldn't ever run from..." He paused, closing his eyes in self-disgust for just how stupid it sounded to him before he continued, opening his eyes again. "...it's me."
"I don't understand." Fay spoke faintly, his eyes moving away from Kurogane's own. He had no idea what the other was trying to do; he was completely confused by the human's actions. Kurogane placed a finger under Fay's chin and made the smaller face him again.
"Don't look away. Don't apologize. Don't feel bad for feeling the way you do when you do something important. I want you to be yourself, and not hide behind a smile. I don't want you to be scared when with me. I don't want you to run away from me." Kurogane explained in a determined way. It was slowly becoming clear why so many people admired him.
"What are you trying to say?" Fay could feel the familiar warmth burning across his cheeks, especially with Kurogane touching him so gently. His head swarmed with a thousand possible ideas as to what the other man was thinking, but he still didn't know what the other man was planning. Kurogane felt slightly embarrassed, but to hell with that, he had already said so much and kissed the man, why not screw himself over some more?
"I'm not mad at you. I like you because you're you. I want to know more about Fay. I want to be with Fay more. I don't care that you're from a different planet or that you annoy the fuck out of me sometimes, that just makes you 'you'." He furrowed his brow.
"I'm not someone who'll dislike you because you did something you wanted to do." He paused for a moment, then spoke again.
"And I was the one who kissed you, so the apology wasn't necessary. Idiot."
"So Kuro-tan's not angry?" Fay smiled warmly as he felt his previous fears wash away. It was a weight off his shoulders to know that Kurogane didn't hate him.
"I'm still confused...what does this mean for us then?" Kurogane grunted and removed his hand from Fay's chin, leaning back onto his elbows.
"Hell if I know. I've never been in this situation before..." He blinked then looked over to the lamp, blushing a little.
"What do you want it to mean?"
"Kuro-san's the first person I've ever felt this way for before. Usually it's the other way around for me." Fay thought back on various suitors and callers of both genders trying to woo him, but to no effect, or at least not to the extent Kurogane had enraptured him.
"I enjoyed Kuro-rinta's kiss though. I know that for sure." Fay couldn't believe some of the things he was saying, it was completely out of character for him, but again his odd behavior seemed to stem from Kurogane. Said man blushed some more and continued to look away, trying to think of something to say.
"So...we're stuck..." Fay looked down beside him at the human with a confused expression, not understanding what he meant. Kurogane looked up and blinked, seeing the look.
"Neither of us knows what to do... we're stuck between friends and..." He looked away, shuffling his feet on the ground somewhat.
"...More than friends..." Fay blushed even further and couldn't believe what he was about to do. After all they only needed the smallest of pushes in one direction or the other. So with a deep breath Fay shifted on the bed to move closer to Kurogane's side. It only took a moment before he leaned in a placed a soft kiss against the other man's cheek. Fay rose just as quickly, not knowing what he was supposed to do now.
Kurogane's eyes opened wide and he looked up to Fay, then he blinked. A small chuckle elicited from his throat as his hand came up to pull the blonde back down.
"You and your stupid cute crap..." He muttered, planting another kiss against pale lips. Feeling his eyes close Fay didn't care as he applied pressure to the kiss. He was admittedly a bit clumsy at it having only done so a few times before. Kurogane was no expert either, but he had a little more knowledge in this field than the other. Their kiss lasted for a while, until they had to part for air.
"Kuro-sama...is a good kisser." Fay said breathlessly as he lay on the bed beside Kurogane. Thin fingers deftly traced over his lips, mesmerized by the feel of Kurogane's lips that had just seconds ago been on his own. The taller raised an eyebrow, smirking at the other's comment. He had never had the chance to pride himself in that. He was about to say something when once again, a knock came to the entrance door. Kurogane growled lowly, not moving for a moment.
"Dammit... who the hell is knocking this time?!" He said angrily, standing. Lifting himself on his elbows Fay stared at the door, wondering who could have possibly interrupted them. He could almost feel an anger similar to Kurogane's coming over him, but with what he had just experienced it was hard to get angry over anything at the moment.
Kurogane went to answer the door, and a loud thud followed by both a squeal and a surprised squawk could be heard.
"Kurogane-kun! I've missed you!"
"What the hell?! Tomoyo! Get the hell off of me!!" Startled, Fay nearly jumped out of his skin. He quickly scrambled for the door, wondering if Kurogane was alright. Though when he got close to the front door, he saw Kurogane sprawled out on the floor with a young woman over him.
This person had long black hair that splayed over everything in the smoothest manner and her purple eyes were looking at the human. Said human sat up, making the girl droop off him to be sitting in his lap, her arms still wrapped around his neck.
"Oi! What did I say?! Get off, twerp!" The girl pouted cutely, looking at the supposed older.
"That's not very nice to say!" Kurogane grunted in reply and pulled her off before standing.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Tomoyo smiled and was about to reply when her eyes landed on Fay. She blinked then smiled.
"Who's that, Kurogane-kun?"
"I'm Fay." The alien smiled in greeting, not knowing what to make of the girl. Her body being so close to Kurogane, and the fact the human had called her by name kind of hurt in his chest, though he knew not why. Kurogane then grabbed the back of her shirt, lifting her up on her feet.
"You're such a troublesome child." He spat, though he didn't sound as annoyed as usual. He then looked over to Fay and blushed again, before looking away. Tomoyo caught this, for she sneered evilly. "Ohhoho! What's this? Has Kurogane-kun finally been bitten by the love bug?!"
"Love bug?" Fay didn't understand the phrase. So instead Fay smiled sheepishly towards Tomoyo, not knowing what to do.
"I suppose you could say that." He hoped it was a good answer; he should really have Kurogane teach him some of the phrases here. Tomoyo squealed and Kurogane glared over to him before the little girl tackled him again.
"Aww!! My cousin has finally found him a lover!!" Kurogane snarled, but blushed deeply at the same time.
"Get the hell off me Tomoyo!!" He barked, tugging at her arms. Fay was taken aback at Tomoyo's words, he hadn't meant for her to think that. Turning to the side Fay blushed furiously, Kurogane would probably scold him for it later. The tallest in the room managed to pull off his relation, picking her up and tossing her to sit on the couch, which she squealed happily about. Tomoyo then looked at Fay.
"You're so gorgeous; it's no wonder Kurogane-kun likes you!"
"Tomoyo listen." Kurogane said harshly, sitting down opposite of her on the coffee table. She looked at him, blinking.
"That guy is not from here, so when you say certain stuff, it confuses him. Don't use so much slang or the idiot won't get it." Tomoyo blinked again before blushing.
"Fay-san's a guy!?"
"Don't worry about it Tomoyo, it seems a lot of people seem to think I'm a woman." The blonde waved away her apology as he moved closer to the two relatives.
"Still, I'm very sorry..." She then smiled and looked to Kurogane.
"You said he's not from around here?" He nodded. She smiled wider and turned her purple eyes on Fay.
"Where exactly are you from? Osaka, Tokyo...?"
"Uhm...you see I'm from..." Fay looked to Kurogane for help, he was beginning to panic a little. The next time he and Kurogane were alone they would have to think of some kind of a story for him.
"Italy." Kurogane said bluntly, looking up to Fay.
"He's been studying Japanese and came here because he wants to become a cook." He continued, folding his arms. Tomoyo squealed happily, clapping her hands together. "Italy?! How exciting! I've heard their dishes are weird, but still very good!"
"Ah, yes, maybe I could prepare something for Tomoyo one day?" Fay sighed mentally in relief, he'd have to thank Kurogane for yet another quick save.
"Oh yes, you must! Let me guess; Kurogane-kun hasn't let you cook for him yet?" She said, cocking an eyebrow before looking at Kurogane, who flushed.
"Kuro-min doesn't think I would do a good job, but he's been kind enough to cook." Tomoyo really was a kind girl, Fay wondered how someone with Kurogane's disposition could possibly be related to the girl. Tomoyo's eyes glinted evilly.
"I see.... kind enough, eh?" Kurogane sat up straighter, not liking the look in her eye. The girl simply smiled, standing.
"Well then, would Kurogane-kun... or what did you call him? 'Kuro-min' cook for us?" She giggled, seeing Kurogane stand up abruptly.
"Don't call me such idiotic names! The both of you!" He spat. Fay felt himself relaxing as he took a seat beside Kurogane.
"Kuro-kun is very sweet, he even made me breakfast in bed." Fay said as he remembered the soup Kurogane had given him the day after his crash. As Tomoyo broke out into laughter, Fay knew he had found a sort of partner in crime with her. Though as he turned to gauge Kurogane's reaction, he hoped the other man wouldn't be too mad.
Kurogane, of course, was fuming. He pointed to the door, closing his eyes in concealed rage.
"Out. Both of you." He commanded vehemently, but Tomoyo simply laughed more before hugging her cousin.
"Oh, Kurogane-kun, don't be so harsh!"
"Kuro-chu should know by now when he's being innocently teased." Fay laughed as the taller man was hugged by his smaller cousin. Kurogane blushed and looked over to Fay.
"...Tch, you're both troublesome." He said before sitting Tomoyo down and going to the kitchen. Tomoyo smiled at Fay when he left.
"He's a really good cook, too, so it didn't surprise me when you told me he cooked for you. He used to make me supper all the time when we lived together."
"Kuro-myu's not told me a lot about his past aside from showing me a few pictures." Fay smiled as he thought back to pictures of a much younger Kurogane. He also imagined a Kurogane taking care of a smaller Tomoyo and thinking how cute the other man must have been.
"Hmm? Does Fay-san want to know more about Kurogane-kun?" She said sweetly, leaning back in the couch and looking at him with curiosity-filled eyes.
"Because I know EVERYTHING about Kurogane-kun! ohohoho!"
"Oh, please! I've only seen pictures of Kuro-chan climbing trees and a baby picture." Fay leaned forward waiting anxiously to hear what the girl had to say. Tomoyo leaned toward him with an all knowing smile.
"What would you like to hear?" She questioned.
"There's so may things I'm curious about, but anything would be good...perhaps something I could tease him about? Did he sleep with a stuffed animal or maybe he was afraid of the dark?" Fay was starry eyed as he imagined how incredibly cute Kurogane would have been. Tomoyo hummed, folding her arms in a Kurogane fashion while looking up to the ceiling in thought.
"Well.... let's see now... He respected his father and adored his mother... I was always with him it seemed... he wasn't afraid of the dark...." She smiled.
"But he was afraid of monsters..."
"Ah, how cute Kuro-kun must have been very brave then." Smiling warmly he could clearly see a young Kurogane trying to fight off scary monsters. Tomoyo giggled.
"Yes... he was brave... oh! One time, the two of us were walking on the cliffs by Tokyo, we should take you there later, and we looked out to the ocean. I had wandered out too far and slipping on the rocks, almost falling. But Kurogane-kun caught hold of me and pulled me back up to safety. He had to skid across the rocks, so he ended up with a nasty gash on his knee." She sighed in dreamy memories.
"He scolded me for a week."
"Kuro-pipi acts like he doesn't care, but he's really a big softie." Fay chuckled, resting his chin on his upturned hand as he looked at Tomoyo. Her smile turned sad as she looked down.
"Yes, this is true... he only acts that way because he knows so many people that have been used just because they were kind. He doesn't want to end up like them..." She then smiled wider.
"Has he done anything extravagant for you yet, Fay-san?"
"Not really, he took me into town for clothes and to his school which was fun." Fay wondered who 'they' were, but it felt like a very personal matter so he let it drop for now, maybe he could bring it up to Kurogane. Perhaps the girl was referring to people Kurogane knew in general…
"Oh? Did he buy you clothing?" She asked with sparkles in her eyes. She seemed really fascinated by the mere mention of fabric.
"Yes, he couldn't find any of his clothes that would fit me." Fay laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head.
"I keep trying to pay Kuro-san back, but he won't let me do anything."
"Oh! That's so adorable!" She giggled, standing suddenly.
"Would Fay-san show me his clothing!?" She asked eagerly, taking his hands in hers.
"I guess, but I don't see why Tomoyo would want to see that." Fay stumbled a bit as he was pulled up from the couch and into the bedroom. Tomoyo released him and waited for him to take out his clothes. He still hadn't had the time to properly put them up so he took them out of their bags and set them out on the bed. He glanced down and noticed his red shirt laying on the floor from earlier and picked it up adding it to the pile. Tomoyo hummed, pulling out a blue shirt and then looking to Fay.
"hmmm... I see... yes... hmmm... did Kurogane-kun help you pick some of these out?" She asked, eyes not leaving a pair of white pants.
"Yes, I didn't really know what to get." Fay said as he watched the girl examine his clothes with a serious look. He had honestly thought they were nice, but with the thoughtful look on Tomoyo's face he wasn't so sure anymore. She broke out into another smile.
"Seems like I've rubbed off on Kurogane-kun; he picked all the ones that would flatter your figure." She giggled again.
"Or maybe he wants to see as much of Fay-san as possible?"
"I-I wouldn't go as far to say that." Fay blushed and looked away from the girl. Images of the past few days and especially of the past few hours caused him to blush even more. It seemed that everyone thought they were a couple. Fay realized that it might not be so far from the truth after all, which didn't help his heated face or the knowing look his received from Tomoyo. She smiled softly, placing a hand on Fay's arm.
"Don't be so modest, Fay-san. Kurogane-kun is very humble but very gruff, a tsundere. He wouldn't have let you stay if he didn't like you." She turned back to the clothing.
"I know Fay-san's a good person if Kurogane-kun likes him so much." She smiled evilly.
"Just how far have you two gone?"
"How far have we gone?" Even though Fay didn't understand what exactly it was Tomoyo was referring to, the tone the girl said it with made shivers run down his spine and his heart to start beating rapidly against his ribs.
"You know, in your relationship..." She scooted forward a bit.
"How deep is your relation? How close have you two come?"
"Ah, I'm not sure Kuro-rin would like me to say anything." He smiled nervously not knowing how to answer. Tomoyo's words made him curious as to what exactly their relationship was now, especially with current revelations. She pouted and sighed, looking disappointed.
"Ah, I see... I'll just have to pry it out of Kurogane-kun later." She regained her smile and looked at the clothing.
"Fay-san, there's something I'd like to say to you." She said, almost saying exactly what Kurogane had said earlier, but nicer.
"What is it Tomoyo?" Fay was ready for anything, especially when the girl seemed to do a complete 180 on him. She really did resemble Kurogane when she became serious. Her smile didn't fall or become sad, so it wasn't a bad thing. She looked at Fay then, her face holding only complete honesty.
"When you said Kurogane-kun wouldn't let you repay him, it's because he doesn't want you to trouble yourself over him..." Her words struck him and he smiled down at her.
"Kuro-kun should know that I wouldn't care to do something for him. I would never consider it to be troublesome...I should be the one thinking that instead, he's already done more than I can ever hope to pay him back for." Tomoyo shook her head, smiling wider at his words.
"Don't be worried that you are troublesome, Kurogane-kun might say you are, but the fact that he's even putting up with you is a good sign, trust me, I know for a fact that its a good sign." She giggled to herself, having been told more than once she was a nuisance.
"But Fay-san, if you really want to repay him..." She placed a hand on his cheek.
"Just smile."
"Tomoyo is a gentle person; it makes me wonder how someone as grumpy as Kuro-min can be related to you." Fay smiled all the same for her kind words. He wished he could be closer to Kurogane and show him how he wasn't troublesome, especially to Tomoyo. She giggled again.
"Some mysteries will never be solved." She said simply walking over to the door.
"Shall we go bother our lovely Kurogane-kun, Fay-san?"
"Sounds like a good plan Tomoyo." Fay offered his arm to the girl, who took it as they exited the bedroom and made their way towards the kitchen and Kurogane. When doing so, they both caught a whiff of a glorious smell that would put any other non-professional cook to shame. Kurogane was reaching for some bowls when he saw the two come in.
"Oi, it's about time." He scoffed, setting the bowls on the counter. Tomoyo skipped in, smelling the contents of the pot.
"Mm... you made my favorite..."
"What is it Kuro-pon?" Fay had to admit it smelled delicious as he stood beside Kurogane and Tomoyo. The taller man folded his arms.
"Soup." Tomoyo slapped his arm gently.
"Not soup, quit calling it that!" she looked at Fay and smiled.
"It's a special dish my dad taught us when he got back from America. It's called Stew. It's thicker than normal soup and with more veggies in it."
"Is Kuro-myu being modest? Does he not want me to now he's a good cook?" Fay said as he leaned against the counter smiling up at Kurogane, before glancing at Tomoyo and giving her a wink. Tomoyo giggled and Kurogane blushed a little, growling lowly.
"Sh-shut up! Let's just eat already!" He said, making Tomoyo take the bowl and serve them.
"Kuro-san's cute when he blushes, don't you think so Tomoyo?" Fay smiled brightly as thanked Tomoyo for the bowl she gave him. Taking a seat across from the girl, Fay took a tentative sip, not wanting to burn his tongue.
"Ooh, Kuro-rinta this is wonderful!" Fay held his spoon up in exclamation.
"Yes, Fay-san, it is." She said happily, setting her bowl on the table. Kurogane scoffed and looked away, leaning against the counter. Tomoyo smiled wider at the taller, knowing he was flattered. Fay and Tomoyo carried on a light conversation as they ate. The blonde found the girl delightful and wondered if she'd be paying more visits in the future despite her having interrupted them earlier.
"It's nice to have a conversation with someone who doesn't growl at you." Fay laughed as he gathered their finished dishes and set them in the sink.
"Kuro-wan doesn't like to talk so I usually end up talking at him instead." Tomoyo laughed.
"This is true, he stopped growling at everything I said when we lived together for three years, so it's not surprising he still growls at you." Kurogane huffed.
"You two. Stop talking about me like I'm not here."
"I can't imagine how angry Kuro-san would be if I were to live with him for so long." Fay laughed warm heartedly, as both of them ignored Kurogane.
"He'd probably throw me out because I called him cute too many times."
"Oi!" The gruff one barked, making Tomoyo look at him. "hmm? Did you say something, Kurogane-kun?" This made the taller growl, going into the other room.
"You two are so aggravating!" He spat on his way out, and Tomoyo giggled at this.
"Kuro-sama is very easy to read sometimes." The blonde could see how embarrassing his and Tomoyo's conversation was.
"But it just makes him more enduring." The dark haired girl nodded, standing on her tip toes to reach the top shelf.
"Yes... but other times you have no idea what he's thinking..."
"Yes." Fay nodded completely understanding Tomoyo's words.
"Shall we go see where he went off to?" Smiling he stood and waited for Tomoyo's answer.
"He's most likely trying to study, but failing." She said with a knowing smile. Sure enough, Kurogane was sitting on the couch with a foot up on the coffee table, staring uselessly at words on the pages.
"Tomoyo must be psychic." Fay with said girl beside him walked towards Kurogane.
"Would Kuro-wankoro like some help?" The other man looked up from his book and snorted.
"What help can you offer me? All you'll say is that this is prehistoric to you." Tomoyo blinked, looking curiously at Fay and then Kurogane.
"..."
"Ah, Kuro-tan, just because I know what I'm talking about doesn't make it 'prehistoric' to me." Fay smiled sheepishly at Kurogane's slip. Tomoyo simply looked between them confused. The taller stared at the blonde for a moment, then looked back to the book.
"Whatever." he said simply, realizing he was still the only one who knew Fay wasn't from this planet. Tomoyo, tilted her head to the side.
"Is Fay into mechanics too?"
"Y-yes, but not nearly as much as Kuro-san. I'm actually more interested in reading poetry than anything." Fay hoped Tomoyo would let it go and took a seat beside Kurogane. Tomoyo followed suit taking a seat to Kurogane's other side.
Tomoyo leaned on her cousin whilst smiling at Fay.
"Did Kuro-chi ever tell you he was into poetry?" Kurogane twitched, glaring at his relative with a don't-you-dare face. But it was too late, Fay had heard something so deliciously humiliating.
"Kuro-sama told me he didn't." Fay leaned forward looking over at Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo has to tell me all about it!" He supposed it would explain how Kurogane had known that line from the book. Fay could feel his heart beating faster as he thought of their time together in the library. The taller grunted.
"I wasn't 'into it'; I was forced to read a book by that Shakespeare guy in junior high." Tomoyo smiled wider.
"You said that it was your favorite."
"Only because you made me choose a favorite, twerp."
"I'm fond of Shakespeare as well, but Kuro-ruu made fun of me over it." The alien pouted as he looked up at Kurogane. Though mentally he found himself smiling at the thought of Kurogane being interested in the same things as he was.
"Maybe Kuro-heart is a closet romantic?"
"Would you let that die?"
"Oooo a closet romantic! Fay-san is great for coming up with names!"
"Oi! Don't agree with him!"
"But Kurogane-kun, you ARE a closet romantic! Hasn't he done anything sweet worth mentioning? You've bought him clothing! That's a good one!"
"That's because I didn't want him running around my house naked or using up all my clothes!"
"Ok, you cook for him when he knows how to cook!"
"I don't want to eat any of his weird ass dishes!" Tomoyo pouted, looking at Fay for some help.
"Kuro-chan shouldn't scold Tomoyo when she's just pointing out the truth." Fay smiled reassuringly to the girl before his smile widened cynically. Tomoyo giggled knowing the blonde was up to something.
"Kuro-rin just doesn't want to admit how incredibly cute and caring and just how wonderful he is." Fay hugged Kurogane from the side, Tomoyo following soon after both started laughing loudly as they continued listing off Kurogane's attributes and qualities. The taller twitched and tried to pull them both off, but to no avail.
"Oi, oi, oi! Get off o' me you two!" He spat, tugging at the smaller arms.
"Tomoyo! Why the hell did you even come here anyway?!" He asked suddenly, glaring at his cousin. She stopped laughing and looked up, confused for a moment. She then smiled widely.
"Oh yes, I remember. Mother and Father told me that Uncle and Auntie would be visiting sometime this week; work is being lenient." Kurogane froze.
"....What...."
"Kuro-ruu's parents are coming in?" Fay smiled until he saw Kurogane's expression. With their previous conversation it hadn't seemed as if the news would be a bad thing, but apparently there was more to it than he had been told. Kurogane looked down at Tomoyo.
"When did they tell you this? Did they give a specific time?" He asked sternly. Tomoyo removed herself from her cousin, placing her hands in her lap.
"They said possibly Friday, at the earliest. And... they told me yesterday. I couldn't come then because I was working with a model." She smiled at Fay.
"They'll like Fay-san, I'm sure." Kurogane growled and rubbed his temples.
"That's what I'm afraid of..." He hissed lowly, too low for Tomoyo to hear.
"Does Kuro-san not want people to like me?" Fay removed himself from Kurogane just as Tomoyo had, staring into the others eyes curiously.
"It's not that..." He said, rubbing his head awkwardly. Tomoyo caught onto what they were talking about and grinned.
"He's just afraid his mother will get attached and make Kurogane-kun keep you." she giggled, watching the spiky-haired man glare daggers back at her.
"Ah, I see..." That sinking feeling began to make itself known again.
"…So Kuro-pon doesn't want to keep me around or for people to get attached?" It sounded strange to him and Fay clasped his hands together resting them on his lap as he titled his head in confusion. The tallest there flinched slightly at the accusation, and looked to Fay. He had a weird gleam in his eye, as if to say 'that's not it at all' but he then looked away, folding his arms.
"You're annoying." He said gruffly, making
Tomoyo giggle more. "Kurogane-san, you're too kind."
"WHO'S KIND?!" He barked back, making the girl squeal and jump up to run away. Kurogane jumped up too, getting ready to chase her. Fay latched on to Kurogane's waist as the other man jumped up from the couch.
"Kuro-bully shouldn't go around trying to chase poor Tomoyo." The blonde admitted he was glad for the distraction as he tightened his hold as he sat half off the couch. Kurogane blushed slightly, looking down at the alien.
"O-oi! What're you doing?"
"Someone has to keep Tomoyo safe from danger." Fay could almost see the blush Kurogane was sporting from his seat and laughed lightly. Said man growled and grabbed Fay's arms tightly, tugging him off forcefully.
"Get off, Blondie!" He snapped, trying not to lose his balance between the short distance of the coffee table and the couch. One of his stature wasn't good in tight places.
"Kuro-sama, stop struggling." Fay flinched as Kurogane nearly fell forward so thinking quickly Fay pulled back not wanting the other man to hurt himself on the table. The taller still lost his balance, but in the opposite direction. He flipped over during the fall, as to not end up sitting on the blonde, and his hands landed on the back of the couch and the armrest. He grunted when his hands hit the sofa, obviously taken off guard by the entire situation.
"It looks like Kuro-san is the one who's clumsy." Fay laughed as Kurogane sat awkwardly on the couch. Kurogane tried to bolt upright but the blonde was clinging to him relentlessly made him stay atop, his face vibrant.
"S-Shut up you!" He said loudly, once again failing to sit up. They were close, so close... It was then that they heard chuckling.
"If you two wanted to be intimate, you could've just told me to leave earlier." Fay blushed furiously and his grip on Kurogane's shirt loosened. With blue eyes wide he looked over at Tomoyo who was currently smirking at them from across the table. Kurogane then took that chance to sit up on his knees, which were on either side of Fay now, and gape with wide eyes at his cousin.
"T-T-Tomoyo! We weren't-- I was--"
"It's alright, Kurogane-kun, I understand." She said simply, her hand against her cheek whilst the other cradled her elbow. She waved her hand at them in a shooing manner. "Please, do continue." Fay peeked over to see Tomoyo staring at them with almost a joyful glint in her eyes. He then moved to look with widened eyes at Kurogane who was currently straddling him. He gulped, not aware that his hands were still clutching the other man's shirt. Feeling almost dizzy Fay flushed scarlet. Kurogane continued to gape like an appalled fish, unable to come up with a witty comeback to Tomoyo's taunting laughter. He then looked down at Fay and blushed even more. In one swift movement, he was off the couch and off the blonde, standing next to the coffee table. Tomoyo whined suddenly.
"Aww, Kurogane-kun! It was just getting good!!"
"Shut up you."
"Tomoyo must be seeing things." Fay smiled sheepishly as he tried to will his blush away. Sitting up on the couch he couldn't bring himself to seek out Kurogane's gaze.
The girl placed her arms to the side and looked at the clock.
"Oh my, it's getting late anyway." She said, and looking to Fay she bowed.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Fay-san; we should meet up again soon!" She then turned to Kurogane and hugged him.
"And you! I'm glad you finally found someone you're happy with!" He squawked indignantly, but before he could toss her off she was headed for the door. As Tomoyo let herself out Fay sat silently on the couch for a few moments.
"Tomoyo is really... something." He didn't know what to say to about the girl after she had thought they were about to do that and had even wanted to watch. Though he did admit she was rather fun.
Kurogane had shut the door after saying quick goodbyes. He didn't move from the door, nor looked away from the handle until he could no longer hear Tomoyo's car driving off.
"She's... troublesome...."
"I didn't mean to make you fall; I was trying to keep you from falling actually." Fay hadn't known what to say, it seemed they were where they had left off before Tomoyo had stopped by. He shifted on the couch awkwardly, not sure what to do. Kurogane looked at the smaller in a sidelong glance, his blush still very apparent.
"Yeah, well... fell anyway..." He muttered turning toward the bedroom. He was emotionally exhausted. Today was the worst....and at the same time.... the best one he had ever had... He slapped himself mentally. Time for some shut eye in order to think straight. He was halfway across the living room when he felt a weight on his back.
Fay moved quickly and clutched the back of Kurogane's shirt tightly in both his hands. Resting his forehead against the broad back he didn't really know why he had done it. But where Kurogane was concerned he had found himself doing a lot of things he normally wouldn't have done.
"Kuro-sama..." He voice muffled as he spoke the other man's name softly. Kurogane felt his face flush, but his expression was serene.
"What are you doing, idiot?" He asked softly, almost gently.
"I'm tired and would Kuro-san stay again?" Fay spoke a little more clearly. He had also wanted to talk about before, what type of relationship it was they had now and what did it mean, but he felt drained and he had been unable to get the words out. With half lidded eyes he waited for Kurogane to answer.
The taller looked over his shoulder, slightly confused at first, but then he understood and sighed. He ran a hand through his hair.
"You'd have to let go for me to stay." He said quietly, looking forward with more blush.
"..." Fay kept silent as he smiled and released the other man. He felt his heart swell and warm at Kurogane's words. The other man looked over his shoulder again into Fay's blue orbs before continuing his trek to the bedroom, turning off the light in the hallway whilst doing so. As soon as he entered the bedroom, his shirt was flung to the hamper in the corner of the room.
Fay followed close behind once he entered the room he could barely make out Kurogane shrugging his shirt off by what little light that was given off through the window. Fay turned his head away as he became flustered. Deftly his hands unbuttoned his pants and slipped them off his long legs. With his discarded pants he gathered up the rest of his clothes that were still strewn about the bed and placed them back inside the closet.
Kurogane watched the other shuffle about, his eyes keen in the dark, more so than average. He blinked when he saw the blonde take off his pants. He had to turn away at that, unable to control his facial color.
"O-oi... which side do you want...?"
"Kuro-san can choose I'm not particular about it." Fay turned in the dark room, he face heating even more. The other stood silent, unable to think as he watched the other in the darkness. Hadn't he been pantless before? Why the hell was he so embarrassed by that now? He shook his head, walking over to the shorter.
"Get in then. We have an early day tomorrow. That is, if you're coming with me again...." He grumbled, shuffling his feet awkwardly.
"I'd love to..." Fay moved the blanket and crawled into bed, sliding his legs against the cool sheets Fay shivered slightly as he waited for Kurogane.
"I really enjoyed spending time with Kuro-rin today." He smiled up at Kurogane, wondering if the other could see him at all in the darkness. The student stared at the smile before scoffing and crawling in with him.
"Tch, you always have fun." He said, still sitting up in bed. He stared forward, mind racing about what had happened during the day. He blushed and put a hand over his face when he realized he had already confessed. What the hell?! He had known him not even for three days!!
Fay had already laid down as Kurogane moved to sit on the bed. He looked up at Kurogane, a hand resting gently against his cheek as his mind swarmed with ideas. He had felt the urge to kiss the other man as before, but he would settle with being able to sleep beside him. Kurogane probably would leave if Fay had tried and as such the alien kept himself in check, not wanting to break the fragile moment. Kurogane looked down, placing a hand on the blonde tresses.
"What are you looking at? Go to sleep already." He ordered gently, not really wanting to lay down with the lithe man just yet. He felt if he did, he might something that he would never forgive himself for.
"Kuro-myu should go to sleep too, he's the one with class tomorrow after all." Fay felt himself leaning towards Kurogane's touch. Silently he lifted his hand that had been resting against his heated cheek and placed it over Kurogane's larger hand. The human blushed at this, but found that he couldn't look away.
"... I'm not that tired..." He murmured, though that wasn't true mentally. Physically he could do all sorts of things, but mentally he was fried.
"Then I can stay awake if you would like some company." Fay asked worriedly as he gazed up at Kurogane, his hand still over the tanned one. The other thought for a moment and decided against keeping the alien awake. He removed his hand and chose to lay down facing the blonde.
"I'd rather if you sleep." He said calmly, still staring at the other intensely. Fay reached forward across the small space between them and brushed Kurogane's bangs aside.
"I can always sleep while Kuro-pon's in class. So he shouldn't worry over me."
"Tch, I don't worry over anything." He said falsely, hand absentmindedly reaching up to grasp Fay's. He blinked, and for whatever reason that escaped him, he scooted forward and planted another kiss upon Fay's lips.
Fay's hand fell limp in Kurogane's grasp as he was kissed. He moved his other hand out to cup the taller man's cheek gently, his pale skin a stark contrast even in the darkened room. Kurogane closed his eyes as he felt the other's hand on his cheek. He was so beautiful in the dark of night, or rather all the time, he just couldn't enjoy it to his full potential staring at closed eyelids. He removed his hand clasping Fay's to snake it under the covers to grasp Fay's waist and to pull him closer.
A soft gasp left Fay's lips as he felt himself being grabbed and pulled closer. His nails dug into Kurogane's cheek, but only enough to cause a soft pressure. A small smile found his lips as he looked intently at Kurogane. With his other hand free Fay moved it to rest against Kurogane's head, his fingers deftly brushing through the dark hair.
Red eyes opened to meet blue as the kiss continued, staring at the azure with something Fay had never seen before in anyone's eyes. He felt the taller man's grip around him tighten. He parted from the blonde, but only to connect their lips again, this time a little more passionately.
Fay's hand in Kurogane's hair pushed the other man closer, applying even more pressure to their kiss. A low noise escaped his throat as he was kissed soundly. Kurogane moved one of his hands to the smaller man's shoulder blades, pressing their bodies closer. Had this been why every couple wanted to make out in front of everyone? If so, he could no longer blame them...
Fay honestly thought his heart would burst from his chest if Kurogane kept making him feel this way. He choked back another sound from escaping as he felt a hand move against his back, bringing him even closer to Kurogane until his was flush against the other. In turn his nails dug in a little more sharply against Kurogane. The taller growled lowly in his throat, the nails slightly annoying his skin.
He looked at the blonde cautiously as he parted his lips, taking a swipe with his tongue at the pale man's lips. Fay gasped sharply, his hand now fisted against Kurogane's head, not wanting to draw blood because of his nails. His other hand continued to rest against Kurogane's heated cheek.
Kurogane smirked slightly, liking the sounds that elicited from the blonde, before he once again licked the pale lips, this time slower. Fay felt a spark shoot down his spine as Kurogane licked his lips. A tidal wave of emotions washed over the blonde as he tried to press himself even closer to Kurogane. Instead the student pulled away slightly, enough for his mouth to move in speech.
"Oi... Blondie... open up..." He said lowly, kissing the other's mouth once more. Air filled his lungs once more before Fay nodded and complied as Kurogane brought his lips against his own for another kiss. With half lidded eyes he stared at Kurogane as he was held tightly in the other man's grasp.
Kurogane stared back, his tongue moving against the pale lips before pressing against them slightly. He tightened his grip around Fay's body, subconsciously wanting more of this deliciousness. Closing his eyes, Fay parted his lips. His hands unclenched and his arms moved to encircle Kurogane's neck as best they could. His fingers idly brushing through dark strands as his arm above Kurogane bent sharply to wrap around the human.
The other's tongue dipped into Fay's mouth to seek out the velvet one that awaited him. Kurogane shivered in delight, enraptured by the pure bliss the lithe man brought him. His touch elicited yet another noise from the blonde's throat as Fay wrapped his arms tighter around him. A shiver passed through his being once more as their kiss continued.
For the first time their tongues mingled, making Kurogane's eyes close all the way. He explored the smaller man's mouth, wanting to taste every nook and cranny of it. The other could feel his lips bruising from the force of the kiss, but tugged Kurogane closer. Gently, compared to the rest of him, Fay moved his leg to hook over Kurogane's hip to try and get as much contact with the other as possible. Fay's lungs burned pleasantly as he Kurogane continued to explore him.
Said man growled in approval, his arm that held the alien's back sliding down to the pale knee, hooking his hand there. Gods, the blonde was so sensual to touch and to taste, why he hadn't done this sooner he'd never know. He pulled away, gasping roughly for air before attacking the other's mouth once more. If he could do this all night long he would until morning was over and done with.
Fay was caught off guard by Kurogane breaking away from the kiss only to be disoriented as Kurogane came back to him with full force. He shifted against the other man as his leg was held tightly and moved even further toward Kurogane. The blonde's fingers clutched desperately at Kurogane's hair, all but trying to meld himself to the other.
The human tightened his grip around the other's waist, remembering almost too late that the alien was still healing. He moved his hand a little higher, as to not agitate the bandages. He shivered when their bodies were completely flushed, all the while their kisses becoming more developed. Fay inhaled sharply as Kurogane's hand moved from his bandaged side to rest higher up on his ribs. He shifted to accommodate the human as said man pressed further against him.
Kurogane felt like he could continue all night like this, but his mind was screaming at him to do otherwise. He parted for air, but this time he didn't come back for more. He sighed, kissing the blonde's forehead.
"We... we really need to sleep...." Fay's gulped down air filling his lungs with much needed air. His eyes closed briefly as Kurogane kissed his forehead gently.
"I take back what I said about Kuro-chan being a good kisser." The blonde looked down as his face heated at what they had just been doing.
"Kuro-rin is a great kisser." Kurogane blinked and blushed a little, chuckling quietly to himself.
"Right..." He sighed, looking down as well as he realized just how entangled their bodies were. He blushed deeper. Fay followed Kurogane's gaze and saw how they were still holding each other. The blonde blushed further as he realized his leg was still draped over Kurogane's hip. The taller removed his hand from the other's knee, but only to wrap it around the tiny waist once more to fold his hands together on the alien's back.
"That... that was one hell of a good night kiss...." Kurogane said, almost smugly. Fay smiled warmly, his fingers moving gently through Kurogane's hair. He laughed lightly, his smile brightening at the human's words.
"I have to agree with Kuro-san." Kurogane found himself smiling lightly at the one he held, and since they had been in the dark for a while, the blue eyes could clearly make it out as well. The taller couldn't find anything to say, but he felt like he didn't need to speak. Fay sighed and rested his forehead against Kurogane's collarbone. The adrenaline running through his veins began to leave him as he relaxed. He shifted once more to bring his arm to rest on Kurogane's. His eyes began to grow heavy with sleep, even as he thought how he hadn't been all that tired before.
Kurogane allowed his eyes to close and his head to rest against the soft pillow. He nuzzled the blonde hair faintly, sighing in its fragrance.
"Night, idiot."
"Goodnight, Kuro-myu." Fay sighed as he closed his eyes and relaxed in Kurogane's arms.
