Notes: More fluffy goodness, because I just know you all love it and it helps us fans get through the next day. Plus, I feel like writing it, so there. More structured writing to come later.
I think Fai's POV is cute.

It happens every night. You wouldn't expect it to, you wouldn't even dream it. If you got a glimpse of the two of us together, you wouldn't even think we liked each other. Kurogane and I contrast amazingly. Call it what you will.

Night and day.
Sun and moon.
Yin and yang.
I could go on, but I won't.
And tonight, I'm lying here, and it is happening again. Not that I'm complaining at all, I rather enjoy it.

I'm in a rather spacious double bed, curled up warmly beside Kurogane. I guess you could call us lovers, now. I'd say we meet the right criteria. And, we're talking.
We talk every night, like I said. Sometimes about mundane things, even fewer times about personal things… but it's these talks at night that lets me get to know a little more about the person hiding under the emotional shell of Kuro-chan.
And I think it lets him know more about me, too.
You might be thinking… wouldn't Syaoran and Sakura be suspicious of us two sleeping in a double bed?
The truth is, they don't know. We feigned a lie about the inn having a space shortage, and that this was the only room left.

They must be getting rather slow, though, because this is about the 6th place that has had a 'space shortage'. Anyway, I digress.

He has his strong arms around me, where I want them, and my head is tucked just beneath his chin so I can hear his chest vibrating when he speaks.

And he's speaking about the weather.

Some nights, I just let him talk softly to me. I just listen to his voice, which is strangely relaxing and sometimes I just fall asleep.

"It was warm today… I'd expect a storm tomorrow." Kurogane said to me, and I made a muffled agreement. "The locals said it's out of season to be so hot."

"The sunset tonight was beautiful, though…" I replied lightly, remembering the scene of just a few hours ago. Kuro-chan looked down at me, his gaze serious.

"You know what else is beautiful?"

I blinked. "Diamonds?"

He chuckled and pulled me upwards. "No." He said. "You."

I flushed a little. I still don't take compliments well, as I have never really been used to them. Ashura-ou never complimented me, and well… it was somewhat of a new experience.

And as I was contemplating this, I suddenly found myself no longer tucked into Kurogane's chest but meeting his gaze.

That was quick.

"You're getting sneaky, Kuro-rin." I said, grinning sleepily.
Kurogane shook his head at my antics, before meeting my gaze again and gently capturing my lips with his own.
And I find that even now, my eyes are still locked with his deep crimson ones, showing to me nothing but love and devotion, to the opposite of Ashura-ou's cold ones that were filled with deviousness and regret.
Kuro-chan's lips are so soft, as well. It's another thing you wouldn't expect about a hardened warrior like himself.

But, I enjoy it when he kisses me. And as he draws away, I observe with my eyes, half-closed from tiredness.

"Maybe I am getting 'sneaky'." He replies finally, with a wicked grin on his face.

I just lean up and give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"It's okay. I like you that way."
He chuckled at me as I curled back up against him, with my head tucked under his chin.

"Goodnight, Kuro-chan."

He wrapped his arms around me tightly once more and entwined one in my messy blonde hair.

"Goodnight, Fye."
