"So will you stay?" Kurama asked with a slight apprehension in his voice.
For the first time Kurama thought he saw a smirk form on Hiei's lips. Oh his lips. How he wished he could drink them in again.
"After what happened fox, and you ask me that?" Hiei said trying to sound harsh, though inside his heart was smiling.
"But I thought you. . ." Kurama started panicking a bit.
"Baka fox. . ." said Hiei with an unchanged expression. He grabbed Kurama by the waist and let himself and his fox fall on their sides onto the bed.
"I take that as a yes?" Kurama said with a questioning look on his face.
"Yes fox," Hiei replied quietly.
Kurama allowed his arms to wrap around the fire demon. He felt incredibly content and wished that this moment would last forever.

He felt Kurama's arms wrap around his form. Bringing a hand to his fox's face he gently caressed it. Suddenly his self-doubt resurfaced again. Frowning, Hiei let his hand fall onto the bed between them.
"What's wrong?" Asked Kurama noticing the hesitation in Hiei.
"Why fox?" Asked Hiei.
"Why what Hiei?" Kurama asked slightly perplexed by the question asked of him.
"Why me? Why would you love me?" Hiei asked as though as if Kurama should have known the questions and the doubt that lingered within him.
Kurama grabbed the hand that now lay between them. Squeezing it gently he replied:
"I love you because you are perfect."
Now it was Hiei's turn to be confused.
"Perfect?" Hiei asked astounded by the answer he had gotten from the only questions that taunted him to an immeasurable end.
"I am not perfect." Hiei continued. "I am the Forbidden Child, cursed not to know happiness, to be imperfect for all of eternity."
Kurama sighed.
"I love you for not what you are called. You may be the Forbidden Child, the cursed one, you could be the devil for all I care, but you are still Hiei to me and the Hiei I know has a soul. And that soul is what I love. And it is your soul, though masked by sorrow, grief and the coldness of the world, that makes you perfect."
Hiei was speechless. No one had every told him that he had a soul, let alone a perfect one; no one had ever made him feel as wanted as he was now. No one had ever made him feel as though he. . .mattered.
Hiei lifted the hand that rested between them and stroked Kurama's face again.
'I do love him.' He said to himself.
Hiei closed the distance between them and gently kissed Kurama's lips.

It had felt so good to Kurama to have finally have told him how perfect he really was in his eyes. Kurama felt Hiei stroke his face. The feeling of it was insurmountable to the love that resounded in his heart. He felt Hiei face moving closer to him and allowed him to kiss him. Parting his lips ever so slightly, he felt Hiei do the same and he gently allowed his tongue to playfully tease Hiei's. When they had finally finished they parted, eyes still closed. Holding his fire youkai closer to him he whispered into his ear.
"I love you Hiei."
Kurama felt Hiei's grasp tightened around him.
"I love you too fox," he replied.

This feeling Hiei could not place echoed through his body. He never felt so. . .so happy in his life. The fire demon felt that as long as he stayed here wrapped up in his kitsune's arms, nothing could go wrong. The earth could explode, the sky could fall, and yet just feeling the warmth of his kitsune's breath upon his neck was as soothing as the caressing breeze on a warm summer's day. Smiling to himself he felt his eyes grow heavier, and heavier until he heard a slight chuckle coming from his fox.
"What's so funny fox?" Hiei mumbled sleepily.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kurama couldn't help believe that a night that started out so simple ended up being the best night of his life. He started thinking about how just hours ago he had dreamt about this moment only to awaken and find his koorime asleep in a tree near his window. Only to have him fall out of the tree, surprisingly no thanks to the tree, hanging on to his katana, and so abruptly feeling the weight of the fire youkai on top of him. Just the thought of it made his face feel warm. But what really got to him was the fact that his love was lying right here in his arms.
Kurama sighed as he snuggled closer to Hiei, breathing in the pine scent of his lover's neck.
Subconsciously his mind wandered to the thought of the hole that now decorated the wall of his living room. Kurama could only imagine what his mother would say. Chuckling quietly to himself he felt his lover stir next to him.
"What's so funny fox?" Hiei murmured sleepily. "Oh I was just thinking about what to say to mother when she finds a gaping hole in the wall with a katana sticking through it," Kurama said thinking that it sounded quite silly.
"Hn. Don't' be ridiculous fox," Hiei replied. "I'll retrieve my katana in the morning and it'll be gone before she wakes up."
Kurama laughed. "There is still the matter of the gaping hole in the wall."
"So then just tell her a bird flew through the wall," Hiei suggested innocently.
Kurama couldn't help but laugh again.
"Yeah sure. I can see it now, my mother waking me up in the morning going, 'Suuichi, Suuichi there's a hole in the wall. Where on Earth is it from.' Then I'll say, "Oh don't worry mother, a bird flew through the wall last night. The wall seems to be fine, but I don't think the bird is.' Kurama paused thinking about what he had just said. Smiling he continued.
"Really Hiei, there may be birds big enough and strong enough to punch holes through the wall in Makai, but not in the human world." Kurama waited for a response, however, none came.
"Hiei?" Kurama whispered.
Silence.
He looked up to find his fire demon sleeping quietly while being bathed in the moonlight. The illumination from the moon gently reflected the silver strands in his mass of dark hair. His mouth was slightly parted and his breathing calm and even. Hiei was sleeping soundlessly.
Smiling to himself, Kurama gave his lover one last glance before closing his eyes. "I love you Hiei," Kurama whispered again into the dark as he finally drifted into a peaceful slumber.
The End.
