Dedicated to Hershey's Chocolate because oh, dear Lord I want some chocolate right now. -drools- You have no idea how unbelievably hard I had to work to stop my chocolate craving after writing this. I want an orgasmic chocolate experience too ;A;

Yah. Ignore that. X3;; It is like, 1am here right now. I was supposed to be asleep 2 hours ago. So 'shh!' and I'll try to write the next installment for tomorr-- err... later today! XD;

Many thanks to Tasaika for beta-ing this for me! (and telling me it was good XD 'cause I still don't think so. -sigh-)

Title: Hugs and Kisses
Author/Artist: Allen Haverstock
Pairing: Kurogane/Fai D. Flourite
Fandom: Tsubasa RESERvoir CHRONiCLES
Theme: Kisses #30 – kiss, Hugs #30 – hug
Disclaimer: If I owned them they wouldn't be nearly as hot and smexy and mysterious because I suck like that. Fai and Kuro-tan are owned by the lovely clump of potatoes called CLAMP.

"3, 4, 5, 6..."

"What are you doing?"

Kurogane looked up from his magazine and sent a glare to the blond sitting on the floor near him. Said blond turned to give him a radiant, lop-sided smile. Kurogane knew the silence was too good to last.

"I'm counting, Kuro-chu!"

The larger man gave a snort. "Nice to know you can do that at least."

"Aww! Kuro-tan is a meanie!"

Kurogane could practically hear the pout and promptly decided to go back to ignoring the mage. Besides, he was just getting to the best part of his magazine.

"27, 28, 29, 30…" Fai paused in his counting, a small frown on his face and held up a small item to the light. The wrapping on it was different than the others. He grabbed the small piece of paper sticking from the top of the wrapped item and squinted at the writing on it.

Syaoran had decided to teach Fai a bit of the basics for reading foreign writing a few worlds earlier and the mage had finally made enough progress to read some of the more simple words in the world they had landed in recently. When he finally figured out what the paper said he tilted his head in confusion.

"…Hugs?"

Fai picked up one of the items he had counted earlier and read the writing on that one.

"…Kisses?"

He shrugged, realizing he must have bought two different kinds of the same candy.

The lady at the store had said that they were a very popular choice of chocolate to buy, and when Fai asked her if she liked them she had nodded vigorously and without hesitation accompanied by a large smile. This was good enough confirmation for the sweet-toothed man and he promptly bought two large bags.

Sweets were best enjoyed with friends, after all, and he needed enough to share with everyone.

When he arrived home he was sad to find that only Kurogane was there; the two teenagers had run off to explore the town and Mokona had tagged along.

Sighing, Fai decided to leave the grumpy ninja to his reading so he could count his newly bought treasure and split it equally between them all when the others returned. It was silent for nearly an hour. Feeling slightly suffocated due to the heavy quiet, Fai chose to count out loud.

He managed to count six before Kurogane snapped at him. Once the ninja went back to his reading Fai continued counting, more quietly this time. He didn't really feel like teasing the larger man when it was so peaceful. It was rare when they could stay in the same room for an extended period of time without fighting.

Smiling to himself, Fai carefully unwrapped one of the chocolates, letting out a small giggle as the tinfoil opened up nicely when he pulled on the strand of paper with the writing on it. Kurogane looked up briefly to shoot him a glare. Fai returned it with another grin and popped the chocolate into his mouth.

Blue eyes shot open in surprise as the candy almost immediately began to melt in his mouth before closing again in bliss. He let out a soft, contented hum in appreciation.

Kurogane looked up, startled, as soon as he heard the mage's moan.

"What are you doing?" he snapped. The blond whipped his head around so quickly to stare at him that Kurogane was surprised he didn't just topple over. Large eyes stared at him in confusion, as though he had forgotten that the ninja was there for a moment.

Fai responding with a smile, "I just wanted to see if the chocolate here was any good, Kuro-muu! Would you like a Hug too?"

"W-what?" Kurogane stammered, wondering what a hug had to do with chocolate. "No! I do not want a hug!"

"…How about a Kiss then?"

"N-No! Just leave me alone you damn mage!"

Pouting at him, Fai turned back to his chocolates. He picked one up and rolled it softly between two fingers until an idea came to him.

Brows furrowed in concentration, he moved the candies around carefully and deliberately on the smooth wooden floor until a silver cat was grinning at him. Fai grinned back and then scattered the chocolates about again. Tapping his chin with a finger he pondered over what shape to make next.

"Ah!" he exclaimed, startling Kurogane once more. "I know!"

Kurogane discreetly watched the mage from behind his magazine, noticing how there was a look of concentration on his slender face as opposed to an appallingly fake smile. It was times like these that the ninja could really appreciate the company of the idiotic blond. Turning back to the story he was reading, Kurogane fully intended to enjoy what little peace he had.

-x-

After playing with his chocolates for nearly half an hour, Fai decided that it was about time that he do something else. So, scooping his treasure into his arms and onto the coffee table next to him, the blond stood up – fully intent on disturbing the peace that had settled throughout the house.

His carefully constructed grin slipped into a more comfortable semi-smirk as he walked silently over to where the ninja sat. Knowing that the larger man would sense him quickly, Fai spared only a moment's glance at the back of Kurogane's head before he pounced.

-x-

Kurogane had just finished reading a very informative paragraph about the proper way to peel an orange when he felt it -- a sudden, lurching sense of dread in the pit of his stoamch. He only had half a second to prepare for the inevitable and he braced himself accordingly.

"Kuro-kichii!"

Fai somehow managed to flip himself over the back of the chair and onto Kurogane's lap in the span of about a second.

Kurogane let out an inelegant 'oof!'ing sound. Fai giggled.

"Kuro-pon is so silly!"

The ninja's face reddened in barely-controlled fury.

"Get. Off. Of. Me," he hissed. Fai looked up at him, impossibly blue eyes blinking in a way that would have been endearing to anyone else. It just annoyed the ninja further.

"But Kuro-kuu! You said you didn't want a Hug or a Kiss!"

"That didn't mean I wanted you on my lap either!"

Fai blinked up at him again and quickly secured his arms around Kurogane's torso in a tight hug before the larger man could throw him off.

"Let me GO!" Kurogane hollered. Fai clung tighter. The ninja could feel the smaller man grin through the fabric of his shirt.

Fai looked up at him again. Kurogane growled down at him, fully intending to shout out profanities at the smaller man until he found his mouth otherwise detained. He tasted chocolate. Impossibly sugary chocolate.

"Mrrft!" said Kurogane in alarm.

Fai pulled back with a laugh and jumped away before the dark-haired man could grab him.

"What the Hell was that!"

"Well, Kuro-chin," said the blond as he began running away with flailing arms as the ninja gave chase. "You said you didn't want a Hug or a Kiss, but I felt bad because no one should be left out! Not even you, Kuro-woof!"

He laughed as he dodged another slice to the head. "So I decided to give you a hug and a kiss!" Fai paused for a second to grin widely at him. "But I didn't want to share my chocolates with you so I gave you hugs and kisses of a different variety!"

Kurogane spluttered at him, apparently too outraged to form proper words.

Fai took advantage of his shock and bounded over to him, giving him a kiss on the nose and another quick glomp. He skittered away before the ninja could slice him with Souhi, the blade just missing his ear.

His grin widened.

He had always been known as somewhat of a risk-taker.

a/n: Totally edited it XD It was really hard to write! After I made Fai read off the labels I couldn't think of what else to do -sighs-

I don't like how I ended it TT;

Who else feels like chocolate now?

... I wish I had my very own Fay to glomp me ;A;

Yah. Wow. Early morning blues. I'll shut up now.

REVIEWS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. They make me happy and want to write! -hinthintnudgenudge-
