Okay here it goes:
STORY
Kurama was sitting at his desk absently looking at his book. He couldn't believe it was three weeks after he told Hiei he loved him. Two weeks ago his family returned, the fox was nervous and even though he tried not to show it, Hiei noticed. So he stayed to greet Kurama's family with him, smiled the redhead looked back on the event.
-FLAHSBACK-
Kurama was pacing from one room to other, while making sure everything perfect. He was really nervous; any minute his family would be there… Would they know already? Did Shiori tell them? He was so nervous that he didn't notice a little fire demon standing in front of him until he tumbled right into his arms. He blinked at looked at the other demon. "Hiei, you're here?"
Hiei arched an eyebrow. "You should sit down, before you break something or harm yourself."
Kurama frowned a bit, and shook his head. He tried to push the smaller demon away, but the strong arms wouldn't let him get away.
"Didn't you hear me?" Hiei growled.
The redhead rolled his eyes and went over to the couch with Hiei. He sat down and the fire demon mimicked his action. Hiei looked at him, "Why are you so nervous anyway?"
Kurama sighed looking away. "Please Hiei don't take it badly… I'm not embarrassed about our relationship or anything, but I'm afraid of what my family might say. I'm happy mother took it so well, but as I was saying to you before there are many homophobic people in Ningenkai, and … I'm not sure what I would do if my stepfather and brother wouldn't accept me." He sighed again.
Hiei rolled his eyes. "Why do you even care, It's your life, isn't it?"
Kurama slowly nodded. "Yes, it is… but they're part of it as well."
"Hn. But that's not the only thing that is troubling you." Hiei stated.
Kurama stilled and then looked at Hiei. "No it's not. I… I want to ask you something Hiei." The fire demon nodded acknowledging him and Kurama slowly continued. "I wanted… wanted to ask… if you-"
That was when the doors opened revealing smiling Shiori. "Oh dear, I think that you really shouldn't have used the map Kazuya."
"That's not my fault, the road wasn't imprinted there."
Shiori rolled her eyes smiling. "Sure, love."
The redhead quickly stood up, "Mother!"
His mother looked up and smiled at him. "Oh Shuichi dear, I missed you."
Kurama hurried to her and hugged her. She giggled. "Don't tell me you really missed me. You had Hiei here all the time." She said in amused voice.
Kurama blushed a bit when she mentioned Hiei but smiled. "I've missed you mother."
"I've missed you too." He let go of her and his mother chuckled. Then she looked at Hiei who came up to them. "Hello Hiei, come here. I've missed you too my son."
Hiei slowly came to her, and she hugged him too. The fire demon couldn't stop the blush that appeared on his face and whispered. "Same here…Mom"
"Hello boys!" Kurama's stepfather greeted.
Kurama smiled. "Hello." Now when he was looking at his stepfather he felt even more nervous than before. Hatanaka noticed and smiled at Hiei. "So I've heard we're almost family now, Hiei."
Kurama gasped and Hiei put his arms around the redhead smirking, "Probably."
Shiori smiled at her blushing son. "Oh as I said you two are just too sweet. I'll have to take some photos of them together, what do you think dear?" She turned to Kazuya smiling.
"Of course, love." Her husband nodded and kissed her on cheek.
Kurama smiled. "Thank you, father." He put his hands on Hiei's when suddenly the doors burst opened and his glaring stepbrother walked in.
"I can't believe it's really true!" He took a few steps towards Kurama and his glare hardened when he looked at Hiei. "What does this mean?!" The fox felt the pain slowly creeping into his heart, Hiei noticed and his arms around the fox tightened. The younger boy looked at his brother again.
Kurama just knew something like this would happen. He felt the fear again. He liked his stepbrother; he was like real brother to him. "Shuichi, I'm sorry, but-" But the younger one didn't let him finish.
"I can't believe it! I can't believe that you're gay and didn't tell me! That's not fair! You should tell me! That's something true brothers' share!!!" The boy sat down and was glaring on his brother.
Kurama closed his eyes. "Shuichi I- wait." He opened them and blinked. "You're upset because I didn't tell you?"
The younger boy nodded pouting. Kurama blinked again. His brother didn't hate him… He didn't mind he was gay, the little one was just angry because he didn't share with him this secret. His whole family accepted him… The though brought a smile on his face and he could here Hiei chuckled. Stupid fox, I told you so… Kurama laughed a bit and sat down next to his brother. "I'm sorry. If I knew you'd want to know I'd tell you but… I was a bit afraid what you'll think about me…"
The smaller one rolled his eyes. "What would I think about you? You're my brother. I know you and I don't care who you like."
Kurama smiled and hugged him. "Thank you, my true little brother." He chuckled and so did Shu-chan. Their parents smiled and even Hiei couldn't stop the little smile on his face. Now Kurama will be really happy.
When Kurama pulled away from his brother, the boy looked over redhead's shoulder to Hiei. He then looked back at Kurama and whispered. "Now that its official Hiei's your boyfriend… could he help us take our things from the car?"
Kurama and his parents laughed while Hiei glared.
- END OF FLASHBACK-
Then Kurama frowned. Everything was nice now, but… but the last few days, Hiei was behaving really strange. He was moody, short-tempered, he even snapped at his sister. And what made him really worried was that Hiei was leaving him without a word.
Kurama sighed; and today… Today when they were on a one of Yusuke's parties Kurama had to pull the smaller demon away or he'd kill the spirit Detective. And then when Hiei calmed down again, he just left. The redhead had enough. He apologized, noticing Yukina's worried glance, insuring her that everything will be fine and he left to go home. He didn't talk to his mother; he just went up to do his homework. Later that night, Kurama heard a soft knock on the window. The redhead sighed and when he heard that knock and for second time he gestured to his plants to open the window. He wasn't going to do it. Kurama was angry at Hiei and wanted the smaller demon to know it. He frowned and continued doing his homework. The fox could hear Hiei's soft steps. "Kurama…?"
Kurama didn't acknowledge the second demon, just turned the page of his book. He could feel the anger rising in smaller demon. "Damn it, Kurama!" Hiei yelled and turned the redhead to face him.
Kurama who was still sitting in his chair looked calmly up at the look Hiei who growled.
"Did you want anything Hiei?" The redhead asked sweetly.
Hiei's eyes widened for a second. That wasn't good, Kurama didn't normally use that tone with him, only when he was really pissed off. The fire demon closed his eyes and sighed. "Kurama… I'm sorry." Then he looked back at the fox, his hand going to stroke Kurama's hair, but the redhead stood and walked to his bed, where he sat down.
"As happy as I'm to hear it Hiei, your 'sorry' is not going to do it this time."
Hiei narrowed his eyes. "Kurama – I don't have the temper for this!"
"And that's the problem Hiei! What's wrong with you?" The fox frowned. "You snap on your sister, leave me for days without saying anything because you don't really talk to me, and you almost killed Yusuke today!"
Hiei held his hands in fists. "He touched your hair. Nobody is allowed to touch you. You're mine!"
It was Kurama who narrowed his eyes this time. "I'm not yours Hiei! I'm not your property!" The redhead sighed and looked down. Next words were spoken softly and quietly. "I'm not even your mate."
Fire demons eyes widened. "What? Kurama-"
"You should go Hiei." Kurama said still looking down.
Hiei took few steps forward. "Fox you don't-"
"Just go!" Kurama yelled.
Hiei shook his head with a "No."
"Damn you Hiei! Just get away! That's all what you've been doing these last days!"
"Fox you don't understand why I did it." Hiei said calmly.
"Oh, I understand perfectly Hiei." He gave a sore laugh. "This was too nice to be true, I just knew it." He whispered. "All those time when you told me you loved me… Che. You're just like the others."–
That was when he found himself being pinned to the bed and being kissed passionately. He tried to push the smaller demon away, but Hiei was stronger. And soon he was moaning into the kiss. After a while Hiei pulled away and glared at the redhead under him. "Shut up fox. You don't understand it again!" His glared disappeared and his features softened. "You don't understand. Please let me explain Kurama." He said quietly. "Please…"
Kurama looked up at the demon. Hiei seemed … so sad and heartbroken. His heart shattered at the sight. He sat up and pulled the smaller demon into a warm hug. "It's fine Hiei." He whispered as strong, firm arms encircled him in response, bringing him closer to fire demons warm. None from them said anything, till Hiei didn't pull away.
He looked into Kuramas eyes and bit his lip. "Kurama… I know I should tell you this from the beginning and I'm sorry I didn't but… Your feelings were so delicate – still are. I can feel it and I don't want to lose you."
Even thought Kurama was confused by that, he smiled a bit and squeezed Hiei's hand. "You won't lose me, I promise… But you should start from beginning."
Hiei squeezed Kurama's hand back and gently kissed him before nodding. "… You remember when I asked you about the marriage/bonding thing?" He waited for Kurama to nod. "Well… I was asking because me and Yukina… we're in mating season." He was waiting for some negative reaction from Kurama but the fox just blinked and tilted his head to one side.
"Koorimes have mating season?"
Hiei nodded. "It's not well-known but yes. We don't really have to find a mate but... it's the time when we feel the need to be with the one we love."
Kurama nodded then frowned. "You said you and Yukina are in this mating season. But Yukina isn't short tempered."
"I know. You forgot about the fire part in me. You should know Kurama, fire demons are jealous creatures… When we chose a mate we can see others as rivals that are trying to steal our mates from us… And that is what happened with Yusuke today."
Kurama blinked as sudden realization hit him. Does this mean…? "R-really?" He asked with a little blush.
"Yes." Hiei smirked as the redheads eyes widened. The fox understood that the word was the answer for his unspoken question as well. His smirk grew when the fox gasped and stared at him. Well… He might have shocked Kurama a bit. But before the redhead could get out of his shock he continued. "I was leaving because… always when I'm around you I feel that strong need to mark you, to make you rightfully mine. I didn't know what you would say and didn't trust myself anymore. I didn't want to risk hurting you so I decided it'd be best if I'd just calm myself before coming to you… But now when I'm looking at you…" He took a deep breath and looked into those beautiful emerald eyes that were still wide from surprise. "Kurama, I love you. And I know that maybe I'm asking too much but… will you be my mate?"
Kurama blinked again. "Hiei… I-" Suddenly there was a knock on the doom.
"Brother, will you please help me with my school project?"
Kurama looked to the door. "I'm coming Shuichi!" he called and then turned back to the fire demon that was nervously sitting on his bed, biting his bottom lip. He smiled and gave Hiei a quick kiss. "I thought you'd never ask. I love you."
Hiei pulled the redhead down for another kiss. He brushed his tongue over Kuramas lips and when the fox opened his mouth, they both moaned. Hiei pulled away and let go off of Kurama so he could go help his brother and smiled. It seems Yukina was right after all. Everything just needs time.
