A Little Piece of Cake
Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa or anything relating to it - the characters, storyline, twists, turns, pairings, universe, or Kurogane and Fai.
Intro: Wow. Fifth fic already? Wow. I've written a wide variety of fics now, so this one is just for fun! It was written a la Drama CD-style so please give me feedback so I now how I did! (is swallowed by a whirl) By this I mean that there won't be a lot of action/description paragraphs and the fic will carry along through dialogue. It's pure mind candy, so the better the imagination, the better this will be! Enjoy!

Pairing: Fai x Kurogane – Tsubasa RESRVoir CHRoNiCLE
A/N: I've wanted to do this for a while. Not exactly Kurogane POV, but I think ya'll find it just as enjoyable.
"Ku-Ro-Pii!" The tall mage jumped on Kurogane and spread his arms into a tight hug. "My birthday is tomorrow! Isn't it excit-ing?"
"What? You have a birthday?"
"Of course I do! Who doesn't Kuro-Mou? Oh well. I can't wait until tomorrow!"
"Hey you! Don't just twirl out of this room like that! HEY!"
"Umm… Kurogane-San?"
"Eh? Ah it's you. What's up, Sakura?"
"Well, Syaoran-Kun and I were going to go out to figure out what we were going to do tomorrow for Fai-San's birthday. We're also going to get him a present. Do you want us to get something for you to give Fai-San while we are out?"
"Hell no. That stupid mage ain't getting nothing from me. Feh!"
"A-Ah. I'm sorry to have bothered you then."
"Don't bow humbly like that. It's fine. Are you sure it's okay just to give up a day of searching for your feathers like this, though?"
"It's fine! I think it will be nice to relax and see Fai-San happy for a change!"
"Okay. Whatever. Get out of here you."
"Yes. So sorry to have disturbed you."
"Hey one last thing before you two go."
"Yes?"
"Where's the manjuu bun?"
"Mokona was with Fai-San last I saw."
"Come on, Sakura-Hime!"
"Coming! Good-bye Kurogane-San."
"Feh. Your birthday, huh?"
-O-
"Ah! So you want Mokona to find out what Fai wants for his birthday for you? Mokona can do that!"
"Shut up! You're too loud. Fai'll hear you… or something…"
"Kuro-Chan looks red! Are you blushing?"
"Aggghhhh! Don't sneak up on me like that!"
"Kurogane looks very red now!"
"He's like a tomato!"
"Leave me alone! And you go away!"
"Don't point at me like that, Kuro-Pin! If you want me to leave, I'll leave. I'll just go into that corner over there and cry."
"Cry for all I care!"
"That's mean, Kurogane!"
"Shut up, White thing!"
"Mokona-Madoki is not a white thing!"
"Ah! That's right Kuro-Gan! Mokona is Mokona. Not a white thing!"
"I thought you were crying! Hey! Don't hug the manjuu bun like that!"
"Kurogane's jealous of Mokona!"
"I'm not jealous of you, stupid WHITE thing!"
"Oh yes, Fai?"
"What is it, Mokona?"
"Kurogane wants to know what you want for your birthday?"
"Aggggghhhhh! NOOOOOOO! Stupid WHITE thing! I'll kill you!"
"Why do you look surprised, Fai?"
"E-Eh? No reason! Ah ha ha!"
"That is not a normal laugh under ANY circumstances, Fai."
"Fai's kinda pink! Yay! Kurogane is red and Fai is pink!"
"That's not it! Well, let's see here… I want candy, and-"
"I'm leaving! I wasn't gonna get you anything anyway!"
"Ah…"
"You okay, Fai?"
"I'm fine! See? I'm happy! Well then Mokona, what do you want to play?"
-O-
"Well then… Something the mage would like… He said Candy, but then even I could've known he's say something like that…
"Hrmm…. It has to be something not even the kids would get. Or do.
"Or do! Oh my God! What am I thinking! No! I am NOT thinking about---
"Gaahhh! You perverted ninja! No! No! No! You shouldn't have thoughts like this! Much less of a man of all beings!
"…It sounds like I'm professing my love or something…
"NOOOO! I'm not! I don't care! See? Bwa ha ha!
"…THIS ISN'T WORKING!"
-O-
"Ah-choo!"
"You okay, Fai?"
"Eh heh heh. I'm just fine! It's just I think someone was talking about me! Heh heh!"
-O-
"Okay! The thing Fai would love most – as decided by me – is a home-made pastry, or cake, or something. Dessert! So here, I, the great ninja Kurogane will cook a cake with the necessary ingredients, utensils, and cook-book!
"So let's see here… Page 7 of 'The Cookbook for New Housewives' is a 'flan.'
"…
"What the Hell is a flan!"
-O-
"Flan? I love flan! It's a custard made of eggs, sugar and milk! It's so sweet and tasty!"
"So you like it?"
"I love it!"
"Alright then, thanks!"
"Huh?"
"Kurogane sure is fast huh, Fai? He must have some hard determination!"
"That's true, Mokona. I'm sure he does."
-O-
"All right! Fai likes flan! Flan it is! So it says to do this and this… and… Hey! Cooking's easy!"
-O- A LONG Time Later… -O-
"…
"It looks nothing like the picture…
"Fine then! I will defeat you just like I did the army of the Gokumin Lord at Kyoto!"
And thus, the ninja cooked and cooked until he thought he had the recipe right which lead to…
-O- The Next Day –O-
"Thank you so much, Sakura, Syaoran! This is a great present!"
"Mokona already gave you your present, so Kurogane's present is next! "
"…Yeah yeah."
"Kurogane-San? Why are you going to the kitchen?"
"Tsk! To get the stupid present."
"I'm not sure what Kurogane-San got Fai for his birthday. He didn't tell me last night."
"I'm sure he wanted to keep it secret, Sakura-Hime."
"Not even Mokona knows! This is exciting! Isn't it Fai?"
"Yes! I hope he got me something sweet!"
"You seem really giddy, Fai. Don't you agree with me Sakura-Hime?"
"Very much so! You're even turning a little pink!"
"Eh heh heh! Really? You think so? Well, I just hope he got me something good!"
"Is that the only reason, Fai?"
"Really! All of you! Don't worry! I'm fine!"
"Hey, I'm back. Here… Here you go."
What lay on the table was the most delicate box. "You can't shake it, so just pull the string to open the box." Fai carefully pulled the blue ribbon and the box unfolded itself. When opened, a small custard lay on top with a small, mint decoration. It was the perfect size and perfectly decorated.
"Ah! What is that, Kurogane-San?"
"It's flan, Syaoran."
"Flan? What's that?"
"Fai and I had it the other day, it's a really sweet custard! It's very good!"
"Really. Never knew."
"I see you eyeing my flan, Syaoran, but unfortunately, Kuro-Chu got this for me so it is my duty to eat it alone!"
"You look too happy saying that, Fai-San."
"Erm… I made that myself."
"…You know what, I'll take Sakura-Hime out for some flan right now!"
"Oh my… I'm too young to die!"
"DON'T SAY THAT!"
"You're no fun, Kuro-Tan. Ah well. Here's some Money, Syaoran-Kun. The flan stand is all the way on the other side of town, okay?"
"Got it."
"Oh, and take Mokona with you?"
"Uh… sure."
"Yay! Mokona is going to eat some flan! Bye-Bye, Fai!"
"Bye-bye!"
"Huh? You're just going to throw it away? Is that why you got rid of everyone?"
"No! I didn't want to share! That's why I got rid of them!"
"E-Wh…What?"
"You're so red that's cute." Fai took a bite of the perfectly made custard and put it softly into his delicate mouth. After the first bite, he sat down on Kurogane's lap and continued to eat the dessert. "Did you even taste the dessert?"
"N-no… I took too long making it and messed up about half the ones I made while decorating… them."
"Mmm." Fai put a small piece on his fork and put it in his mouth. He then kissed Kurogane and shoved the flan into the other man's mouth. "You taste it now?" Fai smiled.
"A-Ah! Oh my… God…"
"You don't look so good, Kuro-Ru. Maybe you should sleep."
"N-no… that's not it. I mean…"
"You want another bite?"
"…"
"You're blushing." Gently, Fai laid another kiss on Kurogane's lips. "That's my thanks. Thank you so much for this birthday gift, Kuro-Kin. I think this is the best birthday I've ever had!"
"I'm glad you're so… happy."
"Yes, but I'm thinking of something that would make me happier. That is… if you're up for it."
Afterthoughts: A quick fic to write. I don't like it. Flame me all you like. (digs hole and dies in the ditch)
