Manjuu And Movies

Kurogane woke with a start as the front door slammed shut. His head throbbed as he tried to sit up, but found his progress impended by Fai, who was using his chest as a pillow. Growling softly, the swordsman watched his lover as he slept, a satisfied smile resting easily on his lips. The ninja rolled his eyes, settling back onto his pillows. He assumed the others had arrived home and, judging by the slamming of the front door, someone had just left, meaning they'd been home… he glanced at his clock.

It's 10:15?! he thought, alarmed by how late he'd slept. Holy shit!

His stomach chose that moment to growl loudly, alerting him to the fact he was starving. Not surprising, all things considered.

The ninja glanced at Fai again, smiling to himself. The magician looked beautiful, his hair splayed across the ninja's chest, forming a halo around him. He pulled the wizard closer, cupping his hand around his lover's chin and leaning down to kiss him softly.

His stomach growled again as he sat up, and, sighing in annoyance, the swordsman carefully slid out of bed, lying his boyfriends head on his pillows gently before grabbing a pair of jeans and pulling them on. An appetizing aroma drifted into he room as he opened the door, causing his mouth to water slightly. Glancing back to make sure Fai was still asleep, he slipped out of the room, heading down the hall for the kitchen. The swordsman poked his head in on Sakura and Syaoran as he passed their room, unsurprised to find the princess sleeping and the archeologist dozing off beside her. Closing the door softly, he continued down the hall, becoming aware of the soft sound of people talking. Scowling, the ninja slipped into the living room.

Seth was curled up on the couch, fast asleep. The T.V was on, playing a movie of some kind. Curious, the swordsman watched it for a few moments. It was poorly made, he decided. As of yet the only two characters he'd seen were a teenage girl with long brown hair and a boy of about he same age with red hair. They appeared to be talking about something as they walked down the street, the girl smiling softly and the boy grinning broadly. Frowning, the ninja turned the volume up slightly so he could make them out.

"So you're planning on going back home soon?" the boy asked, grin fading slightly. The brunette grinned up at him.

"Yeah. My brother and I hafta leave tomorrow," she confirmed. "Don't worry, Jake, we'll come back."

The boy's grin faded completely, replaced by a scowl.

"You say that," he snapped, "but you don't mean it."

The swordsman grinned to himself. The girl reminded him of Fai in a weird, same-but-not-the-same kinda way.

"Are you enjoying the video?"

Kurogane jumped slightly, turning to face Evron.

"Are you?" he asked, walking over to Seth and throwing a blanket over him. The ninja shrugged.

"Crappily made," he replied. "Poor sound quality. Nice visuals, though."

The blonde chuckled.

"Yeah," he agreed. "But it's not finished. Hey, there's me!"

The swordsman turned back to the T.V, watching as the teen chased after the girl and her companion.

"Jason!" the girl cried, startled. "What are you doing here? I thought you were packing!"

"Mayu, we have a problem," the blonde boy said hurriedly. "Silencers have been spotted in the area. We hafta go, now."

Something stirred inside the ninja's memory.

"Mayu… and Jason?" he repeated the names slowly. "Those… are the names of the characters in Makayla's book."

Evron smiled sadly.

"I know," he replied softly, turning the T.V down. "This is the completed version of her movie. An Angel's Tears. We finished it the night before the accident… she just never got a chance to finish cleaning it up."

The swordsman didn't reply, watching a bit more of the video before his stomach growled again, penetrating the awkward silence that had fallen over them. It didn't help that the same appetizing aroma he'd caught a whiff of earlier snuck its way into his senses again. Evron laughed.

"Hungry?" he mocked. "Figures."

Kurogane growled at him, turning and heading for the kitchen. The aroma strengthened as he got closer, and he was quickly able to identify it.

Manjuu?

"Kuro-bozu, if you eat any of those you're paying for them!"

Damn him.

Casting a quick glance back to make sure the teen wasn't following him as he slipped into the kitchen, grabbing one of the steaming buns and opening the fridge. His mouth watered as he bit into the pastry.

"Leftovers from lunch are in the bottom drawer," Evron's voice came from behind him. "And that bun'll cost you six dollars."

The swordsman growled as he turned toward the blonde.

"It's a joke, moron," the blonde scoffed. "But seriously, ask first. Those're Seth and Sakura's."

"Really," the ninja stated. "Well then, may I have one?"

The boy smiled brightly, ignoring the sarcasm in the dark haired man's voice.

"Sure," he consented. "Take a couple for Fai, too, I'm sure he'll be hungry when he wakes up."

The ninja's eyes narrowed as he snatched a few more of the manjuu and headed back to his room, making a mental note to get the recipe from the teenager before they left. He didn't cook very often, since it was a woman's activity, but dammit all if he let that annoying ass outdo him in anything.

Fai was awake when he reached their room, and the swordsman grinned lopsidedly as he sat beside him.

"Good morning, Kuro-sama," he greeted cheerfully, cuddling up against the ninja, who scoffed at him.

"Still nighttime, moron," he growled affectionately. "Here."

The magician sniffed the manjuu once before snatching them from him and practically swallowed them whole.

"Hungry much?" the ninja asked sarcastically, lying back onto his pillows. The wizard grinned at him.

"Starved, actually," he admitted, lying his head on the larger man's shoulder. "And tired…"

"Then why were you up?!" the ninja hissed. Fai grinned up at him again.

"That was 'cause Kuro-sexy left."

The swordsman didn't reply, instead gripping his lover closer to his chest.

"You're warm," he noted, allowing his mind to drift away.

"Mm," the magician mumbled. "So are you."

The ninja nodded absently, yawning.

"Love you, Kuro-chan."

The dark haired man smiled softly.

"I love you, too."

A/N; There, a short little bit of pointless sap, right there at the very end. And for those who wanted one - I can't write lemons. I mean, I have the ability, but I just… can't. So you'll have to settle for what you get. I'm sorry. Really, I am. To be honest, though, I was kinda looking forward to having a moment with just Evron and Kurogane-sama after Evron stopped being a psycho. It didn't turn out that bad, did it? I mean, it was short, but it existed.
