Good Night
Kurogane stared at the ceiling of the hotel they were staying in. Sakura and Syaoran were with Mokona in the other room. As for Fai… He was lying next to Kurogane, his arm wrapped around the ninja's chest, probably feeling all warm and fluffy like the damn wizard did at any chance they had to "cuddle", as he put it.
Kurogane sighed, finally closing his eyes to try and get some sleep. It might have actually worked, if it wasn't for the whimper coming from the other side of the bed. Fai's arms withdrew from him and Kurogane opened his eyes to see Fai facing upwards, eyes still closed, frown on his face.
'Bad dream, huh?' That had to be it. Although, Fai'd never had a bad dream before.
Kurogane moved to touch Fai's hair, but stopped and decided not to. He didn't want the wizard waking up and announcing to the whole hotel he was a pervert or something. Which, knowing the wizard, he would do.
But the whimpering got worse as Fai started tossing and turning. Kurogane could almost see sweat on the wizard's forehead. He moved slightly so that Fai didn't hit him when his hand came flying out of no where.
Kurogane frowned, watching him. He wanted to stop the damn nightmare; hell, cuddling wasn't sounding all that bad at the moment. This time he did let his hand touch Fai's hair, tucking it back before pulling Fai against his chest, holding him instead of merely letting him lie there.
It was a nice feeling, actually. He should have done it sooner. Except he hadn't, and he didn't intend to do it when Fai was awake. Only… He liked the feeling of being able to, well, protect, his lover. And if holding him would help with that he was going to do it no matter what.
It took him awhile, but he fell asleep just a little after Fai had muttered something incoherent in his sleep, seemingly past the nightmare.
It hadn't started out perfect, but it definitely was a good night.
