Black Silk
Intro: This is the twenty-fifth fic. More cuteness. (smiles) No music, though, Happy Gilmore is on. (smiles wider)
A/N: AU.
The two slept silently in peace. It had been only one month since they had moved in with one another. However, they had been more than prepared for this. They had loved each other for quite some time. The two even learned to calm down to conform to the other's wishes. It was just another day in their lives. Another beautiful day to spend with one another, not to mention the night…
Sunlight peaked through the window. Bright light awoke hazy blue eyes. With eyes adjusting to the dark room, the blonde stretched. Turning to his side, he smiled at the brunette sleeping aside him. Of all the 'good morning' greetings, he pondered to himself which he would use.
Fai kissed him gently, waking the other to an unpleasant surprise. "What do you think you're doing? It's too early! Let me sleep," he complained. The blonde grin widened and he continued to kiss the other. He seductively started to crawl onto the large man, nipping at his ears. The raven-haired man groaned. "Stop teasing me and go to SLEEP!" Cerulean eyes gleamed with delight.
"But it's morning, Kuro-Chii! You have to get up! The sun is out!" The mage snaked himself around Kurogane and started to tickle him playfully. Sustaining his laughter, the ninja grabbed his pillow and threw it at Fai. The slender man fell off the bed backwards with a 'thud.' "Mmf!" the blonde grunted. He had landed on his buttocks and was now rubbing his sore area. The victor rolled onto his side to sleep once again.
Fai crawled back into the bed and shivered. It was really cold outside – inside for that matter. Kurogane grabbed him. Pulling the blonde into his embrace, the ninja warmed his freezing body. "You're going to get sick, stupid!" The mage cuddled further into his lover's arms. He inhaled deeply and sighed.
"Yes, but it was Kuro-Nin that pushed me off. So it is your entire fault," Fai reasoned. Gazing into crimson eyes, Kurogane faltered and snorted. Fai laughed. "Is Kuro-Woof coming shopping with me today?"
By this point, he was used to the silly names. "What for?" Kurogane questioned. Shopping seemed, in all aspects, something for a woman to do. Kurogane of all people was most definitely not a woman. Fai, too, was clearly a man – no matter how feminine he may have been.
"Well, because I can't hold all the bags," Fai smiled innocently.
"Not that," Kurogane said frustratingly. "What are you going to buy?"
"Oh," the mage started, "I thought I'd buy some new sheets for us."
Kurogane sat upright. Carefully he examined their assortment of choice. Some sheets were white, others red, some blue, and still the rest black. The assortment contained various fabrics and embellishments. This, however, didn't register into the ninja's mind. "Why? Is something wrong with our current sheets?"
Fai frowned. "They're dirty and scratchy," he pouted. The brunette rubbed the cloth in between his fingers and rubbed the sheet on his arm. Still quizzical, he agreed with the mage.
Nodding but looking to Fai, he asked another question. "But can't we just wash them and put fabric softener on?" The blonde frowned again.
"No, we need new sheets, Kuro-Gan," the blonde stubbornly stated. "We need some that match in color, quality, and durability."
"Mmm…" Kurogane let everything sink in as he tried to understand the situation. Seeing how frustrated Fai seemed, he just let it slide.
-O-
"So, Kuro-Myu, what color sheets do you want to get?" The blonde smiled widely. "Choose well, Kuro-Nan, the color sheets you get reflect the kind of person you are." Rows upon rows with complimenting aisles filled with sheets filled the room. The store was more of a warehouse filled with thousands of exotic choices than what an appropriate sheet store should have looked like.
"Black. I like black," the muscular man commented, looking at all the different sheets. There were sheets in different fabrics, colors, sizes, and quality. Fai trailed off. Kurogane thought to himself that maybe he had chosen the wrong color and now his love was unhappy with his decision, so he inspected red, orange, royal blue, and dark cyan colors as well.
Upon his return, Fai smiled wider and brighter than usual. "Kuro-Bon, I found something I like. I think we should get these ones." Kurogane gazed in horror at the contents. Frilly, pink, lacey, sheets adorned with soft embellishments. Tomoyo-hime's best ninja would have screamed right then and there, but screaming just didn't seem to cut it at the moment.
What Kurogane was thinking to himself at that very second was, 'NO!' but this would have upset Fai. "Can we… find something else?" the ninja finally choked out. The blonde finally set the sheets off and began to pout. The taller of the two tried to drain the noise out, but it just didn't work.
-O-
Finally, the two lovers returned to their home with bags in hand. Fai, excited by their choice, immediately started to take the old sheets out. Replacing them with the new, the blonde exhaled at his achievement. Kurogane sighed.
"Is something wrong, Kuro-Rin?" The mage took a step back to view his whole accomplishment. The sheets were neatly tucked, and freshly pressed. It was just like they were hot off the iron. "It doesn't look good to you?"
"Nah. It looks fine, but…" the black-clad man sat on the and lightly bounced up and down. Moving toward the head of the bed, he ruffled the sheets a little bit to feel the texture.
Fai moved in on all fours. "I don't get it," he finally stated. Staring at his lover, Kurogane just stared lazily at the new bedding.
"They're hard, starchy, not broken in," he concluded. The blonde averted his gaze from the brunette. Feeling the texture, his smile fell slightly.
"I guess you're right, Kuro-Sen," the defeated mage replied.
Kurogane pinned Fai down and cupped his chin upwards to confront him. There was no running away and no places to hide. Crimson eyes burned with excitement. "Well then, I guess we just need to break them in."
Afterthoughts: Wow. Something that actually has came out as expected! (smiles) Please review.
