Series: Tsubasa

Pairing: Kurofai, more or less or more.

Warnings: I seem to have an obsession with blood of late, ahem. Forgive me. No spoilers (that I know of...).


The knife slid out of his flesh like fire, and no amount of sound or silence eased it until every bit of metal had cleared his skin. Blood welled in the void on his arm, dripping from the knife in candle-wax puddles on his skin. He startled Fai out of his momentary hesitation, and the hand wavered that held the knife . Clean, bandage, and smooth, erasing all traces of blood, of wounds, but for the lingering pain.

"I've had worse," Kurogane said, pushing away the lingering questions that lurked behind Fai's lips.

"Not when I was the one to take it out of your flesh. Are you all right, Kuro-san?"

He couldn't sleep while someone was touching him, couldn't relax this close. He closed his eyes and let himself relax, feeling his breath return in great gulps as his head rested against Fai's stomach. Fai pinched his ear, and Kurogane growled, hearing the hum of relief from Fai. The danger had passed, the bloodied knife still within reach, and he would only rest a moment.
