This probably has nothing to do with the word but whatever.

Black Eye

Syaoran silently opened a first aid kit and took out some bandages and some ointment. He poured a bit of the spreadable antibiotic into his hand and placed it on Fai's arm. He glanced over at Kurogane who was crossing his arms and looking away.

The boy sighed.

"You two realize that what has happened was reckless."

Fai smiled with a bit of embarrassment. "But Syaoran, you must understand—" He was silenced by a raised hand.

"With all due respect," Syaoran frowned. "I don't think what you did would ever be understandable." He started to wrap Fai's injury with the bandages. "I mean look at you! That's going to take a long time to heal!"

The mage scratch his head with a nervous smile. "Yes, I guess you do have a point."

"And Kurogane." The boy turned his attention to the ninja. "I know that Fai is sometimes hard to handle but I have to say, you really went too far this time!"

Kurogane huffed as he looked at the boy. "It's not my fault that the mage wanted to scare me." If he felt sorry for anything, he gave in indication.

"Kuro-puu was a bit rough though~!" Fai whined. "I wanted to have some fun~!"

"Then go chase some dogs, you lazy wizard!" Kurogane shouted.

Syaoran shook his head. "Here, Fai. It's basically an eye patch, just….just secure it over your eye and later, we'll put some ice over it."

"You're so kind, Syaoran." Fai said as he gave the boy a hug. "Thank you for your help~!"

"Not a problem." Syaoran smiled a bit. Then he glanced at Kurogane with a slight frown. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll make some dinner since Fai's injury may lead to other injuries if we're not careful."

With that, the boy left the room.

Kurogane looked at the mage with a raised eyebrow. "The kid makes it sound like you haven't seen through one eyes before."

"It's okay." Fai waved it off. "It has been a long time since one of my eyes was…shall we say… 'out of commission'." He then smirked as he crawled his way to the ninja and sat on his lap. "Though I have to say, it's rare that you'd lie to the child."

"What am I supposed to say?" The warrior asked in irritation. "That you were in the bedroom; tied up because your dumbass can't tie a knot much less know how to get yourself out a web of ropes from 'experimenting'?"

"Well, if you just helped me get out of those blasted ropes properly, maybe the incident would have ended a bit better." Fai said with a bit of frustration.

"Yeah, that worked well." Kurogane rolled his eyes. "Thanks to you advice, I got caught up too. I had to get out."

"You're just too impatient, Kuro-rin." Fai sighed as he laid his head on the man's shoulder; where skin and wires meet. "Well I guess we can rule out 'bondage' in the bedroom."

"How about next time, you wait like a good little kitty and let me tie you up?" Kurogane smirked. "Besides two with rope is better than one."

Fai chuckled. "Sounds like a plan."

Yeah...I have no shame whatsoever
