Zilch
Intro: -MUSIC: Eric Carmen, 'Make me Loose Control'- I love this song… Oh, and I have a weird titled fic for once! (for once?)
A/N: Any notes…?
Song: The Itsy-Bitsy Spider
Things were bad – falling apart, even. If they would just stop, maybe he could get in a clear thought or two. Of course, fate wasn't that generous. No, fate had other things in store. This circumstance was just the beginning of a beautiful… something.
-O-
The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
-O-
"Kuro-Pin got me something! I'm so lucky! To what do we owe the favor? I mean, why would Kuro-Chin go out of his way to get little old me, anything? It's not my birthday.. Perhaps…"
"It's vanilla ice-cream. You know what that means?"
"In my world, we give it to the death-row inmates as a last happiness favor."
"…Okay, well in my world…"
"Yes?"
"…We give it to those we care about. So don't go killing yourself." With that, he left. Fai giggled with a soft blush, enjoying every taste.
-O-
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
-O-
"Eh? What the Hell's this?"
"It's strawberry ice-cream! Kuro-Wong gave me vanilla-flavored ice-cream yesterday so I decided to return the flavor!"
"…It's pink."
"Bad, Kuro-Gong! I said, 'flavor!' You were supposed to correct me by saying, 'favor!' You're so ignorant!"
"I'm the idiot? Have you seen yourself?"
"Oh yeah, we give strawberry ice-cream to the psychopaths we think are cute."
"I'm…cute? HEY! Don't twirl out of here like nothing just happened! You-!"
"…Hmph." With that, Kurogane, the greatest ninja, ate ice-cream. Through and through, he blushed for the fact that in Fai's mind, he was, 'cute.'
-O-
Up came the Sun and dried up all the rain
-O-
"Kuro-Yan-Yan got me even more ice-cream! How thoughtful! Yay! I'm so happy!"
"Just shut up and eat it."
"Just like Kuro-Xin, it's dark and-"
"I said, 'shut up.'"
"I wasn't finished. I was going to add, 'and sweet.'"
Kurogane flushed up. Okay maybe Fai eating ice-cream was cute in the smallest way, but seeing the mage flirt with him like this was just…cute.
Kurogane hit himself. "Chocolate ice-cream is given to those are…erm…you know… in-in-in l-love with the other… But! I don't mean it that way, okay? I am not your fruity lover or anything!"
"Funny. That's actually the same as my world. Although, I must say that I am hurt by your accusation, Kuro-Tan."
Kurogane exhaled, contently watching Fai eat ice-cream. Fai was just so…cute at times.
-O-
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again
-O-
"Kuro-Wan! I brought you some ice-cream today!"
"You're unusually happily idiotic today."
"I've decided."
"About what?"
"That today's the day."
"The day for what?"
"The day I've decided."
"You're an idiot!"
"It's Neapolitan ice-cream! It was hard to find, you know?"
"Ah…"
"Neapolitan ice-cream is only given to those who plan on entering an erotic, sexual relationship. The two eat it together."
Kurogane gulped. He didn't like where this was going.
"In my world, only the idiots get to eat the Neapolitan ice-cream."
"Then it's perfect for Kuro-Woo!"
"Shut up."
Fai watched – wearing the same, sappy smile as always – as Kurogane ate the ice-cream in huge bites at a time.
"…Well?"
"Hm?"
"Aren't you going to eat some?"
"Me-? I – uh… Well. Heh! I don't consider myself as an idiot!"
Kurogane sighed in defeat. He glared at the mage. "Not that. Your custom."
Fai blinked blandly. "No, thanks. I prefer Kuro-Chu flavor."
Kurogane laughed.
"I guess I'm going to have trouble finding that flavor in the morning, huh?"
"You will – if you have the energy to get out of bed."
Afterthoughts: The song never says that the spider was killed afterwards, so let's take it as a happy ending, okay? So-! Uh…Yeah. I'll shut up now.
