Intro: -The Scanty, 'I (heart) U'- What they did to the Full Moon anime… (dies) Gah! Studio Deen could have done a MUCH better job! Methinks… Oh Well…
A/N: Because nothing's hotter than a blushing bishounen!
Fai was cute – adorable, in fact. Fai made things cute just by standing next to them. His pretty appearance pleased people and accommodated many things. When people saw Fai, they said, 'oh! What a cute girl,' until they realized that, 'she,' was a man. Kurogane, on the other hand, was not cute. Still, to Fai, in his own sense, Kurogane was cute. The way the ninja would blush or stomp off in anger, or try restlessly to no avail to kill Fai – that was cute.
For as cute as Fai was, Fai was not one for blushing. It was not something he did. When Fai did blush, it was short and simple. In other words, Fai was hard to make blush.
Which was why Kurogane was set on finding out what made Fai blush.
-O-
"Fai."
No reply.
"FAI."
No reply.
"Moron!"
"Oh, Kuro-Pyu. I didn't know you were calling me! Actually I was just about to go out for some ice-cream," the mage giggled with a crooked smile. "How can I assist you?"
"What makes you blush?" The ninja asked.
Fai poked up an eyebrow. "Um…scary, out-of-the-blue comments or questions?"
"Blush for me," Kurogane bluntly stated. He was dead serious, too.
Fai blandly looked at the ninja – a pale blush forming. "Wh-What? You can't blush on command, Kuro-Tan!"
"You're blushing now," Kurogane pointed out. In truth, Fai really wasn't blushing at all, more like his cheeks flushed pink a tad.
Golden locks of hair bounced from side-to-side. "No, no, Kuro-Chi. You have the wrong idea."
"Do I?" Kurogane growled. He was angered. No one challenged him and his ego. Let's get one point straight – Kurogane was always right – or else.
Fai took a step forward. His and Kurogane's face were nearly connected. "Will you please blush for me, Kuro-Koi?"
And Kurogane blushed.
-O-
Since, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan One,' back-fired on him, Kurogane decided to move onto, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Two.' It would be simple. Out of nowhere Kurogane was going to do something so nice, Fai would just have to blush.
So that's what he did. Part one was establishing the common, boring talk:
"Idiot. Wonderful weather we're having, isn't it?" Kurogane growled, frowning and glaring at every specimen that wasn't Fai as always.
Fai smiled. "Why yes it is. Is there something that you were plotting to make me blush because your last plan failed miserably, Kuro-Yan?"
"N-No!" Kurogane stuttered in his defense. His eyebrows bent into a demonic glare. How dare Fai out-smart his wonderful plan before even began!
"Well then, can Kuro-Ban take me to go get some ice-cream? The ice-cream man should be coming in a minute or two," Fai pleaded with begging eyes.
The perfect chance came! If Kurogane said yes, Fai would have no choice but to bow down in glory at Kurogane's awesome, once-in-a-lifetime kindness. So he nodded just slightly. "Whatever."
So Fai wailed happily as he swung his arms into the air. He began screaming at the top of his lungs that he was happy Kuro-Fan loved him oh so much which got him a swat on the butt.
"Kuro-Gan! You-You hit me!" Fai cried upon the contact. After a minute or two of the melodramatic crying, he actually began spouting serious matters again, "On the butt! You pervert!"
"I am not a pervert!" Kurogane glowered in his defense. "I just spanked you! It's what parents do to kids when they act all bratty like you!"
Fai flipped his nose in the air before a smirk replaced the angry pout. "Pedophile."
And Kurogane blushed.
-O-
After 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Two,' back-fired on him, Kurogane decided to move onto, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Three.' It would be embarrassing but well worth it. Out of nowhere Kurogane was going to say something so awkward Fai would have no choice but blushing!
"What the Hell is an ice-cream man? Do you eat him?" Kurogane asked after brushing the pedophile comment off.
Fai smiled. "Nope! The ice-cream man has all the ice-cream! You have to buy it from him! So all the little kids come out from their houses to buy ice-cream! He's really nice!"
Kurogane grunted. This, 'ice-cream man,' was clearly the only pedophile. "So you're taking contaminated ice-cream from a guy you don't even know?"
Fai sighed. "You don't need to know the ice-cream man, Kuro-Ran. The day there's an evil ice-cream man is the day Kuro-Pon stops frolicking over me."
"Frolicking? Where the Hell do you get that?"
"Simple. Kuro-Min just can't keep his eyes, arms, or cock off of me!" Fai wailed loudly.
That was an embarrassing comment – especially adding the fact that the pair was now surrounded by a group of children.
"Th-That's not true…" Kurogane mumbled, somehow retaining an irked face expression.
Fai flipped his head over. "It isn't?"
And Kurogane blushed.
-O-
Another dead shot ended up with 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Three.' Kurogane decided to move onto, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Four.' This time he had to do something daring – kiss Fai out of nowhere.
He struck a palm against his waist. This ice-cream man took way too long for all these children. Wait – what if that was the plan – to dehydrate these children and then eat them? That would make this ice-cream man a killer, psychotic cannibal! Which is worse – the ice-cream man, or Fai?
Kurogane shoved that thought back – Fai, hands down. Now the mage had the stupid idea that they were going out or something. 'Kuro-KOI,' for one. He was not that idiot's boyfriend – no matter how much he may have wanted to at times.
"Fai. This ice-cream man is evil. We need to go to safety," Kurogane growled.
The blonde shrugged the thought off. "You're crazy, Kuro-Ko."
Kurogane growled. He wasn't the psycho here. The psycho was standing right next to him.
So Kurogane put his plan into motion. He kissed Fai lightly – on the cheek, of course.
Fai giggled with a discomfit tone. "Kuro-Min! If you want that, at least wait until we're alone… Well, at least not in front of children!"
"You thought I was-?"
Fai snuggled into the other male's chest, cutting the other off. "And then I'll show you what a good boy gets."
And Kurogane blushed.
-O-
Kurogane's perfect, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Four,' had failed him. The next plan was no other than, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Five.' This time Kurogane would have to do something original – anything! This was a now or never situation – the time where you pull out your hidden ace.
Staring about, Kurogane decided that the ice-cream man indeed an evil man, not this savior-type man the blonde made him out to be. As Fai ordered practically everything the man had, he spoke to Kurogane: "What'll it be?"
"I'm with the preppy guy," Kurogane mumbled with a pointing finger.
The man looked at Fai. "Wow! Seriously? That's a sweet investment of property!"
"Eh?" Kurogane garbled loudly from subconscious habit. "Me and him? No way."
"'Him?'" the man questioned with a poked eyebrow. It began to twitch but returned to its former position after a minute or two. "Hot damn! That's sexy! He's a transvestite, huh?"
"What? No! He isn't!" Kurogane roared.
"Aw, yeah," the man sighed weakly, "He's all yours. I forgot."
"No, he isn't!" Kurogane assured, enraged by this point.
"Kuro-Wan? You okay?" Fai questioned after he was done ordering. His arms were filled to the brim with ice-cream sandwiches and other assorted ice-cream treats.
"Hey sexy," the ice-cream man cooed.
"Watch your mouth or my boyfriend here is going to kick your ass!" Fai giggled, placing an arm on Kurogane.
And Kurogane blushed.
-O-
Okay, okay. Technically, 'Awesome, Amazing, Un-Back-Firing Plan Five,' hadn't failed completely yet. There was still hope – after all, the plan had not even begun.
"I'm not your boyfriend."
Oh. The plan had already failed by that point.
"You're a friend and you're a boy. You're my boyfriend!" Fai cheered with an inky smile.
"No," Kurogane repeated, "It doesn't work that way."
Fai pouted, shoving another ice-cream up his mouth to hide the hurt. "Whatever, Kuro-Pyon. Can you carry some of this?"
Fai didn't wait for a, 'yes,' or, 'no.' There would be a, 'no,' if he did. That's the way things were with Kuro-Pon.
Kurogane grunted when the treats were shoved into his arms. He had to keep his spirits high. That was a bad mood, but his goal was to make Fai blush – not seduce him. No, seducing was a completely different game…
Fai sighed upon finishing his ice-cream. Staring at the other male, Fai bunched his eyebrows up. "You wouldn't want to be my boyfriend if I asked you to?"
"Men don't like other men, you idiot," Kurogane pointed out like it was an obvious answer.
Fai pouted at those words. Kurogane was too stubborn with his man-pride. "Fine then. Be like that."'
Kurogane poked any eyebrow at the blonde. He smirked with an evil, murderous intent. He dipped in, kissing Fai near the mouth. He slid his tongue around, lapping up the chocolate ice-cream.
"You're a messy eater. Whatever. Messy is cute."
And Fai blushed.
Afterthoughts: Ku ku ku… Yes, I have a major addiction to Kururu…He's my man- er, frog. Seriously. (glomps Kuru-Chan) So anyhow, if you're wondering, Kurogane had to convince Fai that he wasn't interested to make Fai blush – if he didn't, Fai would have expected something like that. There's the short version. Now please leave a review! (smile)
