Introduction
Welcome to the realm of heartbreak, angst and fluff! This is my collection of drabbles, oneshots and ficlets about Kurogane, Fai and the pairing KuroFai! This is my ultimate favourite shonen-ai/yaoi pair ever, so I just had to write a tribute to them!
Let the angsty love begin!
Eggs
"So…at Easter a tame rabbit with a basket goes around giving everyone bird eggs?" Syaoran asked, a bit startled by this new piece of information.
"Wow…Rabbit-san is so nice!" Sakura gushed, bending down to look at the brown rabbit bouncing around harmlessly in its cage. Kurogane just grunted, eyeing the ball of fluff with scorn.
"If you ask me, that thing looks even dumber than those rabbits we met on that other world." He snorted.
"No, no, that's not right!" The boy, a native of this world and the son of the person kindly putting them up, shook his head hard, laughing. "Hoppy here's just a pet, and the rabbit story is just a fairytale! And the eggs aren't bird eggs – they're made out of chocolate! You give them to people you like at Easter!"
"Oh…so you buy the people you like eggs made out of chocolate at Easter, and the rabbit's just a story for children." Fai said wisely, nodding his head sagely.
"Yup! And if you like them a lot, you give them one with something nice inside, like sweets, or something fun to play with!" The boy smiled, beaming up at the group of travellers.
"Then…should we buy each other Easter eggs too?" Sakura asked, brow wrinkled in confusion.
"Yeah! Come on, I'll take you shopping!" The boy offered. Reaching out to take Sakura's hand with his left, and Syaoran's with his right, he turned to shoot pleading eyes at the two older men.
"Are Kuro-chan-san and Fai-san coming too?" He asked. Kurogane twitched, trying to ignore the way Fai was laughing in the background. To his annoyance, the kid had picked up Fai's nicknames for him almost as soon as they got here, merely adding a '-san' as though Kuro-chan really was his name.
"No, I'm…" He began, only to be cut off by Fai's lighter tones.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well. Perhaps it would be better if you left me behind today."
Kurogane's mouth dropped open, and he swung around to stare at the blonde mage, unable to believe it. In all their travels together, Fai had never been sick…and even if he was, he'd have never thought the other man sane enough to refuse something fun in order to rest.
"Fai-san? Are you sure? I could stay with you if you want…" Sakura said worriedly. Fai just shook his head.
"You go ahead, Sakura-chan. I'm sure Syaoran-kun and Mikael-kun would miss you. And Kuro-wan too, if he's going."
Blue eyes turned to meet his, and Kurogane started as he realised that he hadn't yet given his answer.
"I'm going. If you think I'm staying back here alone with you, you've got another thing coming." He said hurriedly.
Dismissing the stab of hurt that flickered in his companion's eyes briefly, Kurogane turned and strode towards the garden gate, leaving the three children to catch up with him. Yet he wasn't fast enough to move from within hearing range of the overexcitable blonde.
"Remember, Kuro-tan, I want a nice big egg with loads of sweets!" Fai called brightly, waving goodbye to his friends.
"Go out and get it yourself when you're feeling better!" Kurogane shot back, picking up speed. "Damn mage."
By the time they got back to the house that evening, it was practically dark. Dinner was a quiet affair, what with Fai being absent – Sakura had gone up to his room to check on him, but had found the door locked and the room silent, with no replies to her calls.
But when Kurogane entered his own room and saw the huge chocolate egg waiting for him in the middle of the floor, he was somehow not surprised to see the card next to it, carefully written with the words 'Love, Fai' in the blonde's typical elegant hand, each letter painstakingly printed as though the writer was more used to using drawings and symbols as a form of writing.
He still ground his teeth, however, and glared hard at the human-sized sweet, as if the force of his stare alone could melt it. And once he realised that it wasn't going to evaporate into thin air, it took only one swing of Souhi to cleanly slice through the top, breaking the egg into two.
"Aww…you're meant to eat Easter eggs, Kuro-rin, not use them for sword practice." Kurogane froze at the petulant voice, crimson eyes narrowing as he realised it came from inside of the egg. Raising Souhi once more, he stomped over to look inside…only to leap back, hand clapped over a nose that was bleeding profusely, face stained crimson as Fai uncurled himself and stood upright.
Winking at the stunned ninja, Fai stretched, showing even more flesh than had previously been exposed by what could have only been described as a 'hooker' outfit. Shooting Kurogane a heated look, the blonde smiled seductively, tongue flicking over pale pink lips.
"Well what are you waiting for, Kurogane-sama? Play with me."
