Why Stop-Motion Christmas Specials Are Evil

Part V

DISCALIMER: Not mine . . . yet.


The kids had seems a bit shaken after the events at the fortune tellers, so Fai had suggested that they play a few of the games, after all, they weren't expensive. So as the children ran about with handfuls of quarters and enjoyed doing Christmas crafts, and picking lollypops out of the sides of cardboard boxes to win plastic bracelets, their parents finally a bit of time to themselves. They sat at a table close enough to the games tent that they could see the kids.

"I can't believe that bitch tried to charge me fifty dollars for nothing," Kurogane said sullenly.

"Kuro-sama, don't whine. What did you end up paying her, anyway?" the blond asked, since he had led the children out of the tent before the end of the confrontation.

"I gave her fifteen dollars, and I left."

"Kuro-chan! You skipped on the bill! How awful."

Kurogane glared at him, before stating "You know having a break from the kids kind requires that neither of us act like one."

"Meanie."

Kurogane smirked at him, before taking a light swipe at his shoulder.

"Oh! And I though I was being childish!" Fai said with false indignation.

"So," Kurogane continued, once Fai was done, "Dragon?"

"Well of course, Kuro-pi, our house is plagued by wild dragons!" he said dramatically. A moment and a glance from his husband prompted him to go on, "Kimi-chan is having issues again."

"Issues?"

"Apparently that boy in his class... Doumeki. He's been bothering him. Though I can't exactly figure out how so, seems like he does it by existing."

"Sounds like you half the time," Kurogane said with a roll of his eyes.

"Kuro-myu!" Fai chided. "It sounds like Kimihiro has a crush. Or like the other boy has a crush on him. Or maybe they just like each other. But of course, at their age all that's going to do is result in people getting pushed in the mud."

"Thought he liked that Himawari girl."

"Well..."

A bit of shouting from the children's direction and obviously in their sons voice brought a quick end to 'adult time.'
