This is something I did a long while back, and Fai is really out of character and I am really sorry for that, but I still really like it! and I hope you guys do too!

Love Struck

Bother

A Kurofai songfic

Fai liked to sing, Kurogane found this out the hard way. Not that the blond idiots was terrible or anything, but most of the time (well all the time really) the mage didn't know the lyrics and so would make up his own. Sometime the lyrics were happy, and then would change to silly or flirty. How the bastard had managed flirty, was something Kuro would never hope to know.

The device (the radio or whatever it was called…) sat by the TV, on its own little pedestal. Fai lies on his back on the floor, Sakura asleep beside him. She had conked out after drinking some sake. Syaoran was not too far off, talking to Mokona, too far away for Kurogane to hear their conversation. Kuro lounged lazily on the couch, hand behind his head starting at the ceiling.

The music was loud filling up the room, but the mage had stopped singing for a moment. Kurogane looked over at him from the corner of his eyes. The blond had turned his head to face the radio, with an unbearably sad look in his blue eyes. It was then that Kuro noticed the sad sound of a guitar being strummed lightly. When the lyrics picked up, Fai sung in perfect unison with the words.

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Kurogane watched as Fai closed his eyes, and felt a stabbing pain come from his chest. It angered him, the lyrics, and that Fai was singing it like it was something that he had felt all along. Kuro noticed that Syaoran and Mokona had stopped talking to listen to the blond singing. He vaguely heard Mokona whispers a sad: "Fai."

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me shit to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

Fai smirked at this part, and Kuro felt the rage surge through him again, and he felt like punching that stupid idiot. But Kurogane was glad, the anger pushed most of this aside, but he was glad that the mage had finally dropped his mask. Even if it had only happened because the mage had probably thought they were asleep or something. Even then it was off and Kurogane was glad.

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Kurogane could see thin lines of tears running down the mages' cheeks, and wondered what he was thinking. If the song had affected him that much, then it must have been something about his past. He had never seen Fai cry before, and it affected him more than he had thought it ever would. He felt an uncontrollable urge to go comfort the man, and it was an urge that he had never had before. He had seen Tomoyo cry countless times, and it had always been awkward. He always ended up leaving the room to let Souma or Amaterasu handle it. But Fai always had a way of affecting him differently than anyone else had been able to.

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

Now the sadness was potent in the air. He looked and saw Mokona crying. He never would have guessed the manjuu bun rabbit thing could cry, as animals from his world didn't have the capacity. He noticed movement from beside Fai and looked to see Sakura open her eyes. He didn't know when she had started crying as well, and didn't think she should have to hear such sadness coming from a man who had convinced her he was happy all the time. But Kurogane figured that it was good for the both of them. Sakura was going to have to learn the truth sooner or later, and Fai was at least getting something off of his chest.

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Kurogane had never heard someone sing with such emotion in their voice before. He wished the idiot would stop already, and fortunately it was nearing the end of the song. He watched as Sakura put a hand on Fais shoulder, and he kept it there, as if he didn't know it was there in the first place. Syaoran moved over to Sakura and engulfed her in his arms. She buried her face in his chest and continued to cry softly. Mokona perched on Syaorans' shoulder, patting Sakura's hair in a comforting fashion. Tears continued to roll out of the corner of Fais eyes, and with a half hearted sigh, Kurogane sat up and crouched down beside the mage.

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

When the last line was sung, Fai finally opened his eyes. Kurogane sat beside him, his hand stroking his head lightly. Fai blinked surprised turned his head slightly to look Kuro in his eyes. Kuro knew that his own eyes held concern and some other emotion he couldn't yet place.

"Ku…ro..?" Fai asked with concern. Fai could see the sadness in the red eyed mans eyes, and couldn't figure out why it was there. He heard a sniffing sound coming from beside him. Looking over he saw Sakura crying into Syaorans chest. He turned his gaze back to Kurogane with a bewildered look.

"Kuro-puu did something happen?" he asked warily. He heard Kurogane sigh, and before he knew what had happened, he was in the stronger mans embrace. Fai struggled slightly, shocked by the usually gruff mans actions, before settling into the warm body before him. He felt a comfort that he hadn't felt in several years. He had never realized how much he had missed that warmth.

"No, nothing happened, just you being an idiot as usual." Kurogane replied, hugging Fai closer to him.

Okay… I know Fai would never do this but I had fun with this and I got bored… I did this forever ago though….
