Hiei watched as his lover recalled the story that had ended his close
relationship with Shiori. How he grimaced, and gave visible shudders of
disgrace when he repeated the unkind words they'd exchanged.
Hiei sighed. Completely unsure of what he should do in a situation like this. Whether he should stay quiet and just listen, or go over to Kurama and hold him comfortingly.
Kurama quietly sobbed out the last of his story and he stepped closer to Hiei, expecting to be held. Hiei uncomfortably caressed and petted the taller boy, trying to calm his sobs.
"Oh Hiei! I've lost her forever! What am I going to do?" He sniffed out, feeling much like a small, lost child, begging his mother to find him, and comfort him.
"I..I don't know Kurama. You should go to her, and ask for her forgiveness." He said, angry with himself that he had no prior experience with this matter to help his loved one.
"You don't understand Hiei! If I go back to her, we'll never be able to see each other!" He collapsed to his knees and continued to sob. Torn between the two people he loved most, he didn't want to have to choose.
"I understand, perfectly fine." Hiei said matter-of-factly.
"You want me to go to her?"
"Kurama! You're crying, for the sake of Koenma! You're obviously not happy! Go to your mother, see what you can do, and if it can't be helped, I'm willing to sacrifice our relationship," he sighed, knowing his words were a lie, and hugged Kurama fiercely.
"I love you, and ~I'm~ not willing to sacrifice 'us' yet. Mother's either going to have to accept me, or ignore me."
The demon let out a small sigh of relief and gave a rare smile. "Thank God. I don't know what I'd do with out you, fox."
"Love it or leave it," he smiled, a weak pitiful smile.
"You don't mean that, but I love you for trying."
"You're so nice when you're around me, Hiei, why don't you act this way to Kuwabara, or any of the others?"
"Ha!" Hiei let out a superior laugh. "Me? Being nice to that clown? I had a problem with him and Yukina, and managed to not kill him long enough for my dear sister to explain it, I accept it. Leave it be fox, I don't need to be nice to him as well."
"I guess you're right," Kurama agreed, trying to get his mind off the subject of his mother. "Are you happy now that I've 'shared my human side' with you?" Kurama said in a part mocking, part joking tone of voice.
"Yes, though it didn't reveal anything to me about those complex human emotions.."
"You know, Hiei, love is considered a 'human emotion' and you love me, don't you?" Kurama pouted.
Hiei gently tapped Kurama on the head, "Of course I do, you idiot fox, and I always will," he grinned.
"Forever?!" Kurama sighed dreamily.
Hiei gave a loud laugh at his partner's melodramatic attitude. "Forever, my fox."
Hiei sighed. Completely unsure of what he should do in a situation like this. Whether he should stay quiet and just listen, or go over to Kurama and hold him comfortingly.
Kurama quietly sobbed out the last of his story and he stepped closer to Hiei, expecting to be held. Hiei uncomfortably caressed and petted the taller boy, trying to calm his sobs.
