Chapter 10: The Second Date
"Shuichi!" Shiori sang from the kitchen counter when she saw her both son and guest finally come down. Kurama immediately fixed a soft smile on his face for his mother and greeted her. "You were sleeping so deeply, I really didn't want to disturb you," she told him, as he sat down at the table.
"Hiei said you want us to go see a movie, but-"
"No buts Shuichi!" Shiori chided. "I felt guilty for yesterday and wanted to make it up to you two, so I thought: why not to fix you up on another date?" She sat down and continued, "I wanted it to be special, so I talked to Kazuya and let him know. He said he agreed to let you have the day off! So, I bought you two tickets for the cinema! Now, you have the whole day to yourselves!" she said in excitement.
When Hiei looked at him with a raised eyebrow, Kurama sighed. Shiori had already spent her money on the tickets, so they had to go see the ningen movie which hewasn't so thrilled to see. Hiei frowned, he wanted to ask what was this cinema thing, but didn't want to show his ignorance about human customs. He knew about movies, so he assumed it was where they were shown.
"Actually, Shuichi, you don't have time! The movie is about to start!" Shiori said hastily.
"What time is it?" Kurama asked, when she pulled the two tickets out of her pocket.
"This morning I think..." She looked in confusion at the small printed letters.
Kurama leaned towards her to peek at the tickets. "Mother, it starts in fifteen minutes," he told her.
"Oh no! You don't have much time!" she said in panic.
"Come on, Hiei, we're going." Kurama stood up. Hiei nodded, though he didn't know why they had to go there, and followed the kitsune out the door.
Once they were outside, Kurama started to walk quickly on the sidewalk next to Hiei, who was trying to keep up with him. "Kurama... What is it?" the fire demon asked, walking faster.
"Mother bought us tickets for the cinema, it's a place where humans go to entertain themselves," Kurama explained, like it was obvious, "and it's about to start soon." He kept his pace.
"Hn. I'd already figured..." Hiei told him. "What I want to know is why are you in such a hurry, it's just a ningen movie. We can just tell her we went instead o-"
"Mother bought the tickets so we're going," Kurama cut in, and stopped in his tracks. "Look, I don't want to go there either, I just don't want to have to lie to her all the time," he admitted.
With a sigh Hiei nodded in understanding. "So we'll go then," he said in defeat.
There wasn't many people at that time of morning. Usually people worked or went to school at that time, but there were still a few people standing in line, buying drinks and popcorn. Less noise, less awkward moments, and more quiet time and being unnoticed, he noted to himself.
"May I see your tickets please?" A young woman smiled at them. Hiei only snorted, watching the redhead pull out the tickets from his pocket and hand them to the woman. "Have a good time." She handed them back to Kurama, who smiled back and walked inside with Hiei following right behind him.
Inside there was a small hall with a lot of dark red seats. What's more, it was slightly dark and cold with no windows, a typical movie theatre. "Let's see... Row 7 looks empty..." Kurama mumbled, looking for seats. Hiei rolled his eyes.
"There is no one in here, just sit wherever you want," he told the redhead, watching Kurama walking into the correct row and taking his seat there.
"Hiei, you sit here." Kurama pointed at the seat beside him. On second thought, Hiei didn't mind where he sat as long as it was next to Kurama. Sitting down, he crossed his arms. "It should start in a few minutes," Kurama told him, realizing they didn't even know what the movie was about. Knowing his mother wouldn't pick something scary for them to watch, he hoped it wasn't some cheesy movie.
Slowly, people started to enter the hall and take their places behind and in front of the two demons. Soon, the small hall was filled with the sound of chattering and the noise of crunching popcorn. Hiei tapped his fingers impatiently as the light was finally turned off. It was completely dark except for the screen in front of them, which started to run images with a strong light coming off it. In spite of his show of annoyance, Hiei started to like being there in the dark next to Kurama.
"These are commercials, Hiei," the redhead explained when the screen turned colorful. Hiei turned his gaze to him, silently admiring the soft features of the redhead in the dark. Then the hall fell silent as big titles were displayed on the screen.
Looking around him, Hiei didn't mind the movie at all. He looked at the people behind his seat and the couple who sat in the same row as them, but still far enough away. His gaze was fixed upon Kurama once again. The redhead seemed to be trying to enjoy the movie, not wanting to admit that he obviously didn't like being there. Well, Hiei was going to change that. After all, it was Shiori's gift to them, and it still was some kind of a date.
Frowning, he stared at Kurama as the minutes stretched out. How was he going to... with the stupid seats blocking his way. He had to be creative on this one. Smiling mischievously at the plan that was forming in his devious mind, he sat innocently in his seat. No more than few moments later, Kurama's head snapped in his direction. It worked like magic.
Eyes narrowed with a small frown. "Hiei...! What are you doing!" the redhead whispered, referring to the rise of warm youki that was emitted from the fire demon's body.
Hiei only snickered. "This place is cold." He shifted slightly in his seat. Kurama eyed him wearily, knowing what Hiei was trying to do as the hall was starting to feel warmer and warmer. Giving an impatient glare to the said fire demon, Kurama continued staring intensely at him. Hiei only smiled back, showing his little fangs, and leaning further toward Kurama's seat, suddenly grasping the redhead's hand with his own.
"Hiei..." Kurama leaned away from him as Hiei curled into Kurama's seat, half topping the redhead. "Don't-" Kurama managed to say just before the familiar warmth of Hiei's lips met his. Melting immediately into the addictingfeeling of those lips, he opened his mouth with a small, audible moan.
Slowly, Hiei's smaller body pushed him down in his seat into a painful position, hands running through his hair as the kiss deepened. "Hiei..." He broke the kiss, panting. "I don't think this is the right place for thi-" Lips quieted him immediately. Hiei seemed to like to shut him up like that, and it seemed that he didn't mind that method anymore, either.
Close to the end of the movie, they found a better position to share Kurama's chair. But as the movie ended and the lights were turned on abruptly, Kurama, who was half sitting on Hiei's lap, jumped in embarrassment to the next seat.
With a smile that couldn't be erased so easily, a satisfied fire demon was walking out of the movie theatre. Next to him walked a tall redhead with his hands deep in his pockets, trying to hide the small smile that appeared on his lips, too. Stopping at the entrance, Kurama smiled down at his shorter friend. "What are we going to tell mother when she asks about the movie?" he asked with a smirk. Hiei smirked back.
"That it was delicious," Hiei replied, with a mischief glint in his eyes.
"Oh, I see..." the redhead chuckled and looked away slyly. "One thing I'm glad about," he began, and looked back at the fire demon, "You finally learned how to kiss properly." He winked.
Hiei twitched his mouth in annoyance. "And what do you mean by that? You're not my first!" he snapped.
"Yes, Hiei, but every time you kissed so roughly... Now, at least you learned how to be gentle in the past two hours." Kurama started to walk away.
"Hn." Hiei calmed down. "You liked it when I kissed you that way," he said, following the other. Kurama smiled.
"Are you hungry? We have all day to do whatever we want," he said. "Come on, lunch on me."
As the afternoon sun hanged on the other side of the sky, ready to sink down to the horizon, rosy lips sucked on a thin, pink straw. With a soft noise, the straw was filled with a reddish liquid. The redhead smiled through it, eyeing his friend playfully.
"Hn. You've spent too much time in here, sucking on that straw like a girl," Hiei commented, although he couldn't help but keep his gaze on the lips that were kept sucking on the small, pinkish object. The redhead only smiled and put set his drink down on the grass. He scooted closer to Hiei, his dark green eyes sparkling.
"It's fun, you should try it, too," he replied calmly. Hiei only snorted, a demon like Kurama drinking from a straw.
There was a silent moment, when the fire demon sighed and just laid on the grass below. "Hiei..." Kurama watched him. "I have to admit, it was nice going out with you," he said with a soft smile. With his eyes closed, the corners of Hiei's mouth were twitching slightly upward. "I mean... don't get your hopes up, Hiei, but... it was nice," he said in conclusion.
Hiei smirked. "Alright, that works for me." He opened his eyes to the most beautiful sight in the whole world: Kurama. His smirk turned into a brilliant smile, as he lazily watched red strands play with a light gust of wind, and green eyes laugh at the feeling, and rosy lips showing another smile as they continued to suck from the familiar pink straw. How could he not fall in love with this creature, he asked himself, admiring every detail in the fox's features.
As night fell, their long date came to its end. Both walked through the park peacefully, slowly, trying to delay their return home. Strangely, Kurama's human parents didn't come to greet him this time. Thankful, he and Hiei just climbed upstairs to his room.
"I'm going to take a shower and change," he told Hiei, grabbing his pajamas and a pair of clean underwear. The fire demon watched him leave the room, and settled himself on the window sill, just above the bed. Remembering all the things they had done that day, he smiled. Kurama had let him kiss him willingly, and even teased him afterwards. His heart felt happy. He couldn't explain why when a certain redhead showed signs of wanting to be with him, he felt his heart and soul exploding with happiness.
The said redhead opened the door and closed it behind him. With his hair dripping to the floor below, he plopped onto his bed and grabbed his hairbrush. Hiei watched him brushing his hair slowly, and after a while he decided that he had done enough watching. He jumped onto the bed below, startling Kurama.
With a soft smile, the redhead put his hairbrush on his nightstand and turned to Hiei. "All day wasn't enough for you?" he questioned teasingly. Hiei scooted closer, shaking his head.
"I can't get enough of you," he replied huskily, raising his hand to cup Kurama's cheek. With smiles gracing both their faces, he brought Kurama's face closer to his and planted a gentle kiss on the redhead's lips. Soon Kurama was leaning down to capture the retreating lips, wrapping his arms around his smaller friend.
Breaking the kiss, he panted and pushed Hiei to the bed beneath him, lowering himself to lie on top of Hiei. Closing the space between them, he pressed his body affectionately to Hiei's, earning a soft moan. Hands came up to grab his head, as he kissed the fire demon again soundly.
Mentally smirking to himself at his victory, Hiei let the redhead have his way before rolling them to the side and topping Kurama himself. Deepening the kiss, they both surrendered to each other.
Few hours had passed before either of them settled back to finally fall fast asleep.
