It may or may not have been a surprise to you, but Kurama spent the night at Hiei's. They had just entered their intimate relationship, so of course they did not sleep in the same bed. (Boo-hoo for all of you who are expecting a lemon, because it won't come until a few more chapters!)

Hiei entered Kurama's room, taking a moment to smile at him as he slept. He then walked over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "It's time to wake up," he said, "And you also have to take your medicine. Kurama rolled over, sad about the medicine but happy to see Hiei. He kissed him lightly on the lips in return. "Okay," he said, getting up to reveal his yellow rose-covered pajamas.

Hiei took the spoon full of thick, purple liquid and slid it into Kurama's mouth. Kurama made a face, but swallowed it. He wiped his mouth. "That medicine isn't very good," he commented. Hiei laughed, "I know. I had it once, too. Well, I've got eggs downstairs. Once you've changed (HE WANTS TO WATCH KURAMA CHANGE SO BAD ;D) come down to eat breakfast."

After a few minutes, Kurama came down the stairs in yet another rose covered outfit. He sat at the table and took a bit of eggs and two strips of bacon. It was quiet for a while, and then Kurama said, "It's still so hard to believe that we've just now found out about… you know… us." He was sure to emphasize the word "us".

Hiei smiled. "I know… but… I have a confession," he said, his cheeks turning pink, "I've always had a crush on you." Kurama was quiet, then confessed as well, "So have I, I just never would have said anything if you didn't."

They then leaned over the table and kissed once more. They were adjusting quickly to their new found relationship, and they could both honestly say that they had never been happier.

When breakfast was over, Hiei grabbed the phone. "Who are you calling?" asked Kurama, getting up and wrapping his arms around Hiei's waist. "Your school," Hiei replied, almost purring at this sudden attention. "You can't go to school today, remember? You're sick." Kurama nodded. "You make me feel like a little boy again, Hiei," he joked. Hiei pecked his cheek. "You make me feel like a man."

Hiei spent his day catering to Kurama's every need. He made soup about three times and prepared two baths for him – one of which he shared with him, but he had his swimsuit on to make sure that nothing unwanted occurred- yet.

Now it was at least 8:30 PM, and Hiei was snuggled in bed with Kurama, the TV on but none of them paying attention to what was on. "I'm surprised you haven't gotten sick yet," said Kurama. "I'm a demon. Something about me must prevent it." Kurama then turned red. "What?" asked Hiei. "Oh, nothing," replied Kurama, "I was just thinking a question that I shouldn't ask."

Hiei kissed his cheek. "Ask me anything." Kurama then turned to him. "Does that mean you can't get… like… any diseases? At all?" Hiei laughed. "You mean like AIDS?" Kurama shrugged. "Do you want me to get you checked or something?" Hiei asked. "Are you hinting something?" Kurama laughed. "Maybe," said Hiei, running downstairs and leaving Kurama in a state of wonder.
