Just a little one-shot about the hilarity that some greeting cards make. Hiei Kurama centric, like all my (posted) works. Enjoy.
Greeting cards
"Love, we're done. Put the greeting cards down. Unless you'd like to buy one, of course?" Kurama asked innocently.
"Hn. There trash." He switched to a mocking tone. "'I will love you forever more'—they live a hundred years, do they even know how long that is?" he said cynically, but Kurama could tell he was mildly amused by the cards' stupidity. Kind of like with Kuwabara, actually...
"No, I suppose they don't, Hiei," said Kurama finding Hiei's pessimism mildly adorable despite Hiei's efforts.
They left the convenient store, each carrying two bags: Hiei ice cream, eggs, and bread; Kurama dishwasher soap, detergent, a ½ gallon of milk and cereal, as they headed back to their apartment near Tokyo University.
"There was this other one, too. 'I will never leave your side for as long as we both shall live'— I mean, bathroom breaks at least people," He smirked.
"Yes, I don't think I could stand you without that, at least," Kurama put in.
"Hn. At least some people value there alone time," Hiei approved, refusing to let himself rise to Kurama's bait. For the moment.
Kurama stuck out his tongue playfully. "Spoil sport."
"That's what I'm here for."
"Oh, I'd say it's for more than that." He said suggestively with that sultry voice he was capable of. "So, where there any other cheesy card phrases?" He asked curiously, his tone normal without missing a beat.
Hiei just shook his head at the fox exasperatedly, and decide to return the favor. "Only one," he said plainly. His companion waited for a moment, for elaboration, as they entered the tall apartment building's lobby. Hiei just kept walking, an annoying smirk on his face, knowing full well what he was doing to the to-curious-for-his-own-good fox.
Kurama decided to lose this small battle, deciding to aim for the larger. "Alright, what was the last phrase?" He'd managed to hold out all the way to their floor, but that was it.
Hiei's triumphant look made Kurama glare, but he ignored it. "Nothing special, 'If I have to, I'll wait for you forever'—please, forever? They'd have probably moved on, or killed themselves by then—thinking their love would never come back," he said as they drew up to the door, and he started to pull out his key.
Kurama looked a little too amused by what he said for comfort. "What, fox?" He demanded, glaring at him as he opened the door.
"Oh, nothing."
"Right. What is it?" he said over his shoulder as he walked in.
"I just find it rather ironic that you criticize words that we've said to eachother, is all," and the door shut to a smirking fox, and a glaring fire demon. Who lived blissfully together for the rest of their long lives. Well, more or less anyways.
