Kurogane just stared at Fay. He was in disbelief that he got him to say what was on his mind, and the fact that it was something that he didn't want to tell him and he now seen why.
" I'm sorry." He said, seeing the tears falling from his eyes. Kurogane wiped them away for him.
" I shouldn't have done that, and I'm sorry for it." Kurogane said. He never really apologized for anything and it was new to him to actually feel like this.
Fay looked at him, he saw that he was sweating and he looked tired.
" Are you sick?"
" Me, no." He said.
" Don't lie to me."
" I'm not."
"Kuro-pii." He poked him in the arm.
" No."
" Kuro-chuu." He poked him again.
" No."
"Kuro-daddy." He poked him harder
He growled.
" So, are you going to tell me?"
" No."
" Kuro-woof." He poked him hard in the cheek.
" FINE! I am sick, I am so sick that I can't stand it, my stomach hurts, my head is pounding and I'm sweaty! HAPPY NOW?" He asked annoyed.
" No. I don't want you sick!"
" You're a idiot!" He growled and lay back down.
Fay laughed. " Well, the best way to get ride of it is rest."
" I think everyone knew that!" He growled and covered his head with the pillow.
Fay watched him and felt bad that he was sick, he figured that he has never been really sick before.
Fay went and got blankets and blankets for him and covered him in them. He knew he was giving him all of his blankets but to him it didn't matter, as long as he got better.
Kurogane thanked him for the blankets, since he started to get cold.
' Why did I have to get his sickness?' He thought.
Fay just watched the man doze off into sleep. He got up and went to his bedroom and fell asleep with no blankets, and was hugging himself for warmth.
The next morning Kurogane woke up and he felt better. He wasn't as sweaty, or stomach ache. He saw he was covered in many blankets. He shoved them off and got up. He smelled eggs and bacon. He walked towards the kitchen and saw that Fay, and Sakura was making breakfast, Syaoran was setting the table, and Calleigh was rushing around.
" You're going to work?" Kurogane asked.
" Yeah." She mumbled trying to find her clothes.
Kurogane just sat down in the chair.
" How are you feeling Kurogane?" Sakura asked.
" I'm fine. What's wrong with him?" He asked about Fay who was wearing a sweater, and drinking tea, and eating soup.
" He cares about you. He slept all night with no blanket, and you know how this world is like summer in the day and like winter at night. He gave you all of his blankets. He wanted you to feel better." She said to him.
Kurogane felt bad. He was starting to hate this caring feeling. Kurogane sneezed and got up. He went back to his room and grabbed some blankets. He came back into the room shoved Fay into the living room, sat him down in the softest couch, (which was his favorite chair) He shoved him down, put the blankets down on him and tucked him in so it would be hard to get out of. The ninja left grabbed his tea and soup and force-fed him.
" And what are we not going to do again?" He asked as he was getting a spoonful of soup.
" I'm not going to let myself to get cold again?" he wasn't sure what he was trying to get at.
" No. We are not going to give me all of your blankets to keep me warm and get better, if you have too, then sleep with someone else so you wont be cold like this!" He said feeding him the spoonful of soup to get him warm. He was shivering like an earthquake.
Fay smiled at his kindness. When he was finished the soup he tried to get up and Kurogane growled. The ninja left the room to get more blankets for the shivering mage.
He got more from his pile on his bed and grabbed a heater that was kept in his room for the cold nights.
He covered Fay some more and put the heater by him.
Fay tried to get up once more to help Sakura, but was stopped by Kurogane.
" I need to help her."
" She'll do fine on her own, besides she has Syaoran and Mokona there to help her. " He said. Kurogane then sneezed again.
" Damn cold." He said. He made sure Fay didn't leave until he was warmed up again.
" You do know I'm use to my world, it's colder then the nights here."
" Shut up." The ninja said.
Fay was telling Kurogane he was warm enough.
" I'm not letting you go, your still shivering, You don't think that being a ninja, I can't sense things like body movement?" he said.
Fay sighed and just sat there. He was tired from waking up in the middle of the night trying to keep warm. He fell asleep a few times, from the lack of sleep he had.
When he started to sweat from the heat and was no longer shivering was when Kurogane let him go. It was around 1:00 when Kurogane let the mage actually move.
Fay went to the kitchen to make the five of them food, since Calleigh was still at work. Sakura walked in the kitchen to hear banging pans.
" Oh, so your not an ice cube no longer?" Asked Mokona that was on her shoulder.
Fay smiled." Nope, Kurogane wouldn't let me leave."
Sakura looked over at Kurogane who just came in the room.
" What?"
" You're a nice guy Kurogane." She said and walked off.
" What was all that?"
" I just told her about how you helped me." He said.
Fay looked back at making the grill cheese sandwiches.
He remembered dozing off during that. He isn't sure if Kurogane knew he was awake, but when he fell asleep from the lack of sleep, he kissed his forehead and herd, " Don't you ever do that again Idiot, I can't lose you."
Fay tried not to smile when he said that to him, but it was hard.
Kurogane saw like a little skip when Fay went to get the plates for everyone.
'Why is he so happy?'
" Hurry up!" The ninja said hungrily. He watched the mage walking around with the plates of sandwiches. He called the others that lunch was ready and they came into the room. Kurogane just watched Fay handing everyone their food, and Fay was making sure he gave Kurogane's last.
" Asshole." He growled when Fay finally went to him and handing him the plate.
Fay took it away from him quickly.
" That's not good table manners Kuro-pon." He said smirking.
" Give me the god damn food mage!"
Fay only smiled and held the plate high over his head.
" I will take it forcefully."
" oh, I didn't know Kuro-pi wanted it like that." Fay smirked.
Kurogane growled angrily," Can I PLEASE have MY sandwich?"
" That's better." And he handed him the sandwich.
The ninja glared at him and started to eat his food.
Fay laughed and sat down with his plate and started to eat.
Kurogane sneezed again. He got up to go wipe he nose and he had a sneezing fit. " Damned cold." He said, and went into the bathroom and blew his nose.
He looked at himself in the mirror, and saw his usually tanned skin was a bit paler.
He sighed and just went and splashed some water on his face. He dried it off then went back to finish his lunch. Syaoran was finished his lunch and was waiting for Sakura to finish. Fay was finished already too and grabbed his, and Syaoran's plates.
Kurogane quickly ate his sandwich. The ninja got up and went back to his room. With the only blanket left, he put it over his head and fell asleep. Kurogane woke up to something soft on his head. He opened his eyes and saw a hand on his forehead.
" What is it?"
" I was seeing on how you were feeling. Your fever is down." He said smiling, taking his hand off his head.
Kurogane closed his eyes again from sleep.
" What time is it?" He asked sleepily.
" It is around 5."
" So your waking me up to tell me, that we are going to be eating dinner soon?"
" No. I was trying to let you sleep." The mage has said. He watched with his bright blue eyes, watching the ninja fall in and out of consciousness. When he heard his breathing was normal, he bent down and kissed his forehead.
" Get better, Kuro-pii." He whispered and left the room to help Sakura with dinner before Calleigh came back.
Kurogane rolled over and fell of his bed. He got up and groaned and looked around. When he sat up off the floor he felt his way on his bed and felt more blankets then he had before.
" Damn Mage, I'm going to kill him." Instead of getting back to bed, he walked his way in the dark towards the door. He opened it when he heard a movement in his room. He grabbed a lamp that was by the door and held it tightly. He turned on the light and saw someone on the floor on the other side of the bed.
He quietly walked over and saw a blanket and a pillow from his bed on the floor. He got closer and saw blonde hair. He put the lamp down quietly and went and picked up the mage. He set him silently on his bed and tucked him in. He smiled on his concern for his small cold. He went and turned off the light again and sat in his bed watching the sleeping magician.
He was tempted to kiss his forehead, and play with his soft blonde hair. Instead he watched him for a while. He couldn't help it and started to run his hands through his hair. He felt the soft flowing hair.
Fay felt this and just let the ninja do this for a while.
" Having fun Kuro-pi?" Fay finally said.
Kurogane quickly stopped and pulled his hand away. He blushed slightly and was thankful that it was dark.
" Why are you even in here?" Kurogane asked.
" You changed the subject Kuro-wanwan. But I wanted you to get better, so I grabbed all the blankets from the living room and put them on you. But I remembered how you said that I should never do that again, and to sleep with someone. So I just stole one of the blankets and the other pillow and just went to sleep on the floor." Fay explained.
Kurogane looked at him. " You shouldn't have been on the floor, you should have been in the bed, where it would be more comfortable."
" I didn't want to disturb you." Fay said, now opening his eyes and looked into the red ones.
" Do you know how much of an idiot you are?"
" Yes, you tell me daily." Fay said.
Kurogane smiled," Good, at least you have figured it out, then I'm doing my job." Kurogane said.
Fay closed his eyes, again. Kurogane got up to go get something to drink. He got a cup quietly and poured some water from the tap. After he went back to his room, he heard Fay sleeping soundly in his bed. He slowly got in and kissed Fay on the cheek.
" Good night." His stomach growled and he decided he would eat some breakfast in the morning.
