Sun viewing sake
The ones I care for the most I have to keep the farthest away, so they don't get hurt because of my feelings.
The sun glinted behind a curtain of mist, some pale rays of warmth escaping and landing on the wizard's face. He looked down at his hands, one holding a half-empty sake bottle, and the other resting on his lap. No one else had woken up jet, so he had taken this opportunity to sit in the neat little garden of their new home, and drink the sake he had hidden in his coat when they had left the previous world. 'What I am doing here?' he thought, and took a sip of the sake. 'Why do I keep doing this?' Fay sensed someone standing behind him and turned to look. A very sleepy Sakura was standing behind him rubbing her eyes with one hand, partly still in some dream of hers.
"Syaoran-kun," Sakura said and wobbled over to where Fay was sitting.
"No, I am not…," Fay started, but before he could finish two arms flung, themselves around him, and the princess rested her head in Fay's lap.
"Syaoran-kun, why did you go out here so early?" Sakura said her voice faint.
"I am…," Fay began but noticed that Sakura was already asleep her eyes slowly moving under her eyelids. Fay stroke her hair, and looked at the sun again, thinking that this might be the reason he still was here in this world. These feelings that now filled his heart, was overwhelming, although he knew he shouldn't do what he was doing, he also knew he couldn't stop it, it was too strong to depress.
"Stop flirting with my princess," a groggy voice called out behind the mage who snapped quickly out of his deep thoughts. He turned around to see a drunk Syaoran; his sword pointing directly at him.
"I am not flirting…," Fay began, but Syaoran didn't seem to be paying attention; suddenly lifting his sword ready to strike.
"She's sleeping in you lap! What the hell have you two been up to?" Syaoran didn't seem to care for an answer and the sword was now heading for Fay in super speed, targeting on his blond head.
Fay took hold of the princess and dodged the attack; with Sakura in his hands, he looked a little skeptical at the obviously drunk Syaoran. Fay smiled and thought that he was not the only one who had hid away a bottle from the last world because the boy's current state could not possible be from last night's sake. 'Looks like Syaoran-kun has a flare for sake as well,' Fay thought smiling.
"Look, she just thought that I was you, and then she fell asleep," Fay said running across the garden with Syaoran at his heels.
"I know that you are good looking and all, and that the girls swoon over you where ever you go, but that doesn't give you the right to steal other's girlfriends!" Syaoran said obviously not listening anything the mage said, and kept chasing him across the garden.
"My, thank you Syaoran-kun, but I promise you I was not flirting with Sakura-chan," Fay said and jumped over a flowerbed, Sakura still safely in his hands.
"Who knows what you two have been up too, all the times you two have been alone," Syaoran yelled increasing his speed dramatically.
"I have never…," Fay started but didn't finish before a gruff voice interrupted him.
"What the hell is going on?" a newly awaken ninja said, rubbing his eyes, and looked rather shady after one full evening of drinking.
"Look! Your boyfriend is running away with my princess," Syaoran said to Kurogane and pointed accusingly at Fay with the still sleeping Sakura in his hands.
"What the hell is all this?" Kurogane snapped and couldn't quite figure out what this crazy scene was all about.
"Don't worry Kuro-pon, you know I'm all yours," Fay said and waved at the still not completely awake ninja. However, he was awake enough to understand that the damn wizard was flirting with him again, and that could not be tolerated, not this early in the morning anyway.
"Give back Sakura-chan, and focus on him instead!" Syaoran said and pointed a finger towards Kurogane, who looked furious at the drunk Syaoran.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Kurogane snapped; he could not believe what he was hearing from the little brat.
"Why are you so upset? He's pretty handsome don't you think?" Syaoran said and scanned Fay from head to toe. Kurogane didn't know what to say to such a remark. Sure Fay was pretty, but hearing it from Syaoran was rather strange. 'This is not good,' Kurogane thought, gripping his sword unable to decide which one to strike first, that stupid brat, or that damn fool of a wizard. He decided to take down the magician first, reason one was to wipe of the stupid grin of his, reason two Syaoran was a child after all.
"Oh my, I have two assassins that want me dead, this is no good," Fay said in a dramatic voice. "They're jealous for my good looks!"
"Say your last prayers." Kurogane held his sword over his head ready to strike.
"The princess, the princess!" Fay said looking at the still sleeping Sakura. "We don't want her to wake up and find you killing me, do we?"
"I think she would find it quite amusing," Kurogane snapped and turned around angry. 'One day I will do it,' he thought before he stomped away. Fay looked at Syaoran who was now sleeping on the ground snoring slightly. He walked over to him and placed Sakura close by his side. 'I'll have to remember to keep him away from sake from now on, that's for sure,' Fay thought smiling.
"What are you smiling for you jerk?" Kurogane growled from the open door.
"Don't be so jealous Kuro-pon, I love you and nobody else," Fay said running towards the ninja.
"Keep away from me you asshole," Kurogane said, and attempted to close the door, shutting the smiling wizard out, but Fay was too fast, and when the door was shut, Fay was wrapped around the ninja, his lips kissing him deep and long. After all, the kids where outside; there was nobody there to see them, the two of them on the floor, expressing their love for each other.
