A Kurofai story

Fai wasn't used to the holiday. He'd never celebrated it in the first place, so why would it matter to him? Well actually he'd never had anyone to fill in the 'mother' role so what was the use of celebrating Mothers Day if you didn't even have a mother?

There were a lot of problems that came with your boyfriend inviting you to a Mothers Day party, especially if said mother wasn't too fond of the fact that because of her son being with you there would be no hope for future grand children. (No, she wasn't horrible to him, in fact it was quite the opposite, but Fai could tell that there was an underlying disappointment there… well as much disappointment as there can be talking over the phone.)

The second problem was he didn't even begin to know what to get her. He supposed a cake might work but he wanted to get her something special. And his boyfriend, despite all outward appearances, was definably a mammas boy. And Fai knew that if Kuroganes mother didn't like him then there was no way he would be able to stay with his lover.

…Well okay, it wasn't like Kurogane was going to drop him just because his mother said so. Kurogane was his own man, there was no denying that, and no one could tell him what to do; not even his own mother. But she could start pointing out Fais little quirks, (and the Lord God knows he's got quite more than a few of those), and Kurogane would see just how pointless it would be to be with someone like him.

And Fai didn't want that. He had tried so hard the past year to get Kurogane to go out with him, and finally after several grueling, agonizing, months later, Kurogane had finally asked him out. And that had been in January, just 5 months ago. January 15, to be exact.

They had been taking things slow, so that Kurogane could get used to the fact that he was dating another man. While Kurogane tried his best to hide it, Fai could still see that he was still a bit 'if-y' about their relationship. And Fai didn't need Kuroganes mother to dislike him in any way other than that he was the wrong gender for Kuro-kins.

Fai sighed, returning back to the present. Said present happened to be staring out the car window in the passenger seat of Kurogane's car. Kuroganes parents lived in the country side, quite a bit a way from the city. It was at least an hour or two… or maybe it was a three hour drive away.

Fai stretched his arms over his head as best as he could in the cramped car, making sure not to accidentally hit Kurogane.

Kurogane glanced over at his boyfriend when he heard him sigh, and waited until he was through stretching before he placed a hand on Fais knees. "You alright?" He asked, giving a quick comforting squeezed to his knee.

Fai looked over at Kurogane with a reassuring smile. "Aww Kuro-cuties concerned about me," He teased, grabbing Kuroganes hand and laced their fingers together.

Fai gave a light chuckle when he saw his boyfriend's eyebrow twitch at the nickname, and muttered "Moron," underneath his breath.

Fai smiled, a real one this time, and looked down at the hand that was still entwined with his own. He couldn't help but admire Kuroganes sun-kissed natural tan. The stark contrast between his pale skin and Kuroganes never creased to amaze him, and if Fai was a poet he would compare the two of them to the sun and the moon.

Fai reached out a hand and lightly stroked Kuroganes arm, feeling the warmth of his boyfriend seeping into his fingertips. Fai could tell that Kurogane was glancing over at him in the corner of his eyes, and he automatically placed a smile on his lips.

He heard Kurogane sigh. "It's going to be alright," Kurogane said, knowing that his boyfriend was still worried over Mothers Day. "Believe me she's going to like you. It's my dad you have to worry about."

"I can deal with Dads better than I can with Mothers, Kuro-chu. I want her to like me." He mumbled, surprised Kurogane at how fast he admitted to being nervous about something.

Kurogane sighed, and steered his car towards the edge of the road. When he reached the grassy edge he placed his car in park and turned towards Fai, who stared up at him confused. "Kuro-cha-?"

"Listen," Kurogane said cutting Fai off. "She is going to like you. I know my mother, and she's going to like you the minute she sees you." He stopped Fai once again from speaking, this time by placing a finger to his boyfriends rosy lips. "Wanna know how I know she is?"

Fai shrugged, but nodded his head.

Kurogane smiled gently at him, and cupped his face in his hands. He brought his face closer to Fais; so close their lips were almost touching. "She's going to like you… because I love you." He said, and closed the small gap between their lips.

…..Whoot for the cheesy line at the end! Please don't ask me what possessed me to write this, but I guess I'm writing stories for the holidays or something? But I kinda like it….

Please R & R!
