" I love you." These were tough words to say. Even when they were true. It was even harder, for some unknown reason, for a certain red head and a certain red eyed demon.

"I love you more." Hiei spoke without even thinking it over. It had become a little easier, but there was always a few seconds pause between each others words. Even though it had been some years since they had first admitted their feelings.

"No. I love you times two."

"What?" Confused garnet eyes glanced over the fox seating next to him. Kurama pretended not to see him and kept on watching the sun rise.

"Math. I took you love and times it by two to show how much I love you. Get it?"

"I love you times three."

"Times four."

"Does it count if you don't say 'I love you'?"

"Hmm...," A hand was raised to rub the chin belonging to the green eyed boy. "you have a point. I love you times four."

"I love you times five."

"I love you times infinity."

Another confused look and the fox couldn't help but smile. This was looking like an easy battle to win.

"Infinity means it keeps going on. Or something like that. Get it?"

"I love you times inifinity times two."

It seemed Hiei was catching on. This meant it was time to throw another loop in the battle.

"I love you times infinity squared."

This time Hiei didn't even bother to change his expression. He knew Kurama had done this purposefully to gain the upper hand on him.

"It's where you take the love and times it by itself. Get it?" Boy was that getting annoying for Hiei.

"I simply love you more."

Kurama's mouth hung open. He had not planned on that. He wasn't even sure what the fire demon meant by it.

"Simple?"

"No. Simply. It always tops everything. No math and no nothing. Just more."

The fox could see what Hiei had meant when he had said 'simply'.

"Damn."

"Damn what?"

"Damn you and your simplicity." But, Hiei knew he wasn't really being damned, since a certain smile was adoring the face of his beloved. Forest eyes met the blazing fire eyes of Hiei. Neither said anything, as Hiei climbed into Kurama's lap to be snuggled. 'Hiei, you might have won this battle. But I will win the next one.'

After this battle it became a weekly tradition to come ever Saturday and watch the sun rise. All while trying to win the battle of love. Little knowing that love was one battle that hardly was won by one person.

"If to love is to love, and to love is to hate, and to hate to be forgotten, and to be forgotten is to be loved. Which would you want?"

Another one that somehow made little sense, yet Hiei seemed to know where Kurama was pulling this from. The question was, 'What was the answer Kurama was trying to trick out of him?'

"To be wanted."

"What?"

"Hn. If all of that is true. I would merely want to be wanted."

Again Kurama shook his head. It seemed Hiei just could never be stumped by anything.

"Can we snuggle now?" Red eyes looked over Kurama. Silently asking their own question. When attacked by both the fox found himself unable to resist the little demon. A simple 'sure' was uttered and Hiei flew into the half human's arms. A small kiss was placed on the fire demon's forehead, before Kurama pulled him close to his chest.

Hiei patiently listened to the fox's heart beat. Bum-bump. Bum-bump. At times it would slow and, whenever Hiei moved his lower body, would speed up. When red eyes looked up they could always see that Kurama was struggling to find a way to prove how much he loved Hiei.

Suddenly, a smirk laced itself into green eyes, before appearing on the fox's face.

"I win."

"Hmm?" Hiei mumbled. Not sure that he had heard Kurama right.

"I win. I love you more."

"Fox, we've gone over this. You haven't won today."

"I win. Because My love for you is so strong there are no words that can describe it."

Hiei looked up to sparkling emerald eyes. The little demon smiled and placed his head back over Kurama's heart.

"Okay. You win."

Little did Kurama know; that if he ever had that look in his eyes. . . he could always win against Hiei.


Wells... What do you think?

For something that came out of no where... was it good?

Sorry for it to have been two months before I finally posted this. I'm just growing lazy. ; ).

Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
