I have to admit, this was a bit hard for me to do.


Awkwardness


If there's one thing that Kurogane was never an expert of; it would be on the aspects on love. Or rather what one does when in love.

He was a child when things changed for him.

Even then, showing affections unlike friendship was out of his reach; not to mention ludicrous.

What's love got to do with anything?

He had hoped that in his lifetime, he wouldn't fall victim to the dreaded emotion and he would do what he did best; becoming stronger.

Then he met Fai.

The rest was history.


"Hey Kuro, I think we should take a walk around the park." Fai suggested one day while Syaoran and Mokona were sleeping.

They were in another world; one more humble then the last. Coincidently there was a park nearby and Fai was feeling bored.

No surprise there.

Kurogane glanced up from his manga with a raised eyebrow. "Hm. Sounds good to me."

Wearing jackets and hats to shield them from the chilly air of the night, the pair went out and started walking to the park.

While that was happening, Kurogane was glancing at Fai every five seconds. He didn't why he was doing that; he just wanted to. Like Fai was some fairy who would disappear if he looked away too long. He then shook his head. What was he thinking?

"Kuro-tan." Fai called out. "Are you okay?"

"Of course I am." Kurogane grunted. "What do you take me for?"

Fai shrugged as he turned his attention back to the sights.

Mentally sighing in relief, Kurogane glanced down and saw that the blonde's hand was out and swaying a bit with each movement. He blinked; deciding whether or not he should do something about that.

'Damn it, all this time and I'm reduced to some school girl on her first date.' Kurogane cursed silently. 'I don't even know what I should do! It's just me and the mage. Nothing special…' He then looked away; just in time for Fai to look at him. When those sapphire eyes weren't on him, Kurogane looked back at the hand. 'It shouldn't be this hard. I could just…show it a bit….that's what father did…'

He then remembered the times his father was making kissy face at his mother and she would laugh and make kissy faces as well.

Oh dear god.

Then he felt someone grabbing onto his hand, looking over Kurogane saw that it was Fai's hand that was holding his. Blinking up, he can see Fai's face tinted pink.

"Kuro-sama thinks too much." Fai smiled a bit. "He should just take my hand instead of staring at it."

Blushing heavily, Kurogane sighed. "I wasn't staring."

"Sure you weren't." Fai grinned.

Sighing, Kurogane squeezed the hand. He then out of nowhere kissed Fai on the cheek before moving away just as quickly.

Fai cooed as he felt those lips touch his skin for a moment. "Hyuu. Looks like someone's getting a bit brave."

"Shut it." Kurogane knew that it was never going to stop. He'll try to make a step; he'll fail, Fai will make a move and then the ninja's face would heat up. But considering how they got from point A to point B, he wouldn't have it any other way.

Besides, there's always another day.

Yeah...I'm no good at expressing emotions either.
