"Hmm."
"Hm?"
"Hmmmmmmm…"
"What?!"
Fai had been staring at Kurogane all day. He was contemplating something, lord only knows what, and Kurogane was more than tired of it.
"Will you stop glaring at me?" he growled.
"I'm not glaring… I'm thinking," Fai tapped his cheek.
Kurogane poked Fai between his eye brows, "Your face has been stuck all day, idiot."
Fai bristled at that, but quickly calmed down, "Kuro… How many nicknames do I have for you?"
"Thousands," Kurogane shuddered.
"But you only call my 'idiot' and 'mage.' It's not nice."
"Have you been thinking about that all day?"
Fai nodded, "You're mean. You rarely call me 'Fai', but you don't have any cute names for me."
"You sure about that?"
"Positive," Fai let out a sad breath, "I don't let other's call my stupid, but that's hardly a pet name. But here I am coming up with a new one every day."
"Really, there's nothing only I call you? Nothing sweet enough for you?"
Fai slammed his hands down and pouted, "Nothing!"
Kurogane leaned against the table and looked him in the eyes, "Yuui."
"Ah!"
Fai covered his mouth, unsure if that really counted. He knew Kurogane wasn't a cute person in general, so maybe 'Yuui' was more than enough.
He smiled, "Thank you!"
Kurogane pushed himself to a standing position, "Sure."
Fai finally stood up and started to make dinner for his adopted family.
