How It All Began
REASONS

(Hiei's POV)

We walked back to Kurama's house in silence. When we arrived, Kurama held open the door for me and I walked in, followed by him. I went up to his room immediately. I didn't want Kurama's mom to see me...Kurama came up a minute later. Kurama sat on the bed and sighed. "So...now that they've found out...what should we do?" Kurama asked me.

I shrugged. "Hn. Kill them?" I suggested. Kurama chuckled and shook his head. He motioned for me to sit next to him on the bed, and I complied. Kurama flopped down, his hair sprawling in multiple directions. His hair...it was so beautiful. Elegant fire that never will be put out...I reached for his hair. Once the strands were intertwined with my fingers, I noticed how smooth and silky it felt. Kurama smiled up at me, most likely thinking it was 'cute' how I was playing with his hair.

I lay down next to him and sighed. I turned so I was facing him, and he turned also. He wrapped his arms around me, and I returned the embrace. We were just lying there, hugging on his bed. If anyone saw, they might think it was peculiar.

(Kurama's POV)

I soaked in the warmth of this embrace. Hiei was so adorable when he was playing with my hair...he's just like an innocent child.

(Hiei's POV)

I broke off the embrace. "Fox..." I began. Kurama replied, "Yes, Hiei?" I hesitated, not sure how I should put this. It came out as, "Why...why me? Why did you choose me to love?" I was genuinely confused about this. I definitely wasn't kind or forgiving. I definitely didn't have many good qualities.

I always insulted him. Well, sometimes I would. Yet he still claims to love me.

Kurama smiled and answered, "I love you for more than one reason. I can tell you need somebody to love you, and also you are loyal. I know you wouldn't go off and cheat on me, would you? And also you are a lot nicer than you think you are."

I blinked. I sure wasn't expecting that answer. Me? Nice? Nobody's ever said that. "Hn." I gave as the reply to his speech.

(Kurama's POV)

I smiled again. I couldn't stop thinking about how cute Hiei was when he was confused. I was getting tired, and I could tell Hiei was too. I fell to sleep in his arms
