Some time had swiftly gone by since the little incident that had made Kurama slightly perplexed. Every time he thought of his kiss with Hiei, he felt that small familiar pain in his chest. That ache only had one cause before, Yusuke. Any time the raven-haired man would be forced to leave him, the immeasurable ache would show up and bring him misery until the remedy came back. Now, he felt it when thoughts of the tender and ephemeral kiss with Hiei would suddenly flood his mind.

He never denied not having feelings for the fire demon. After all, Hiei had been his first love. Certain circumstances made it impossible for him to ever express his love to the fire demon. Shortly afterwards, he realized that Yusuke had always had a crush on him. As time progressed, both Yusuke and himself fell in love with each other, much to the dismay of their friends.

With an inaudible sigh, Kurama placed the book he was reading down. It wasn't as if he was really reading it since he kept thinking throughout the whole book. Even the characters in it seemed to be reflecting the people he knew in real life. What's more, the lead character, a woman, had to choose between her first love or her savior. Both men had gone to great extents to exhibit their devotion and adoration for the woman. It seemed to Kurama, that both deserved a chance to be with her. "As if Hiei would ever like that…" Kurama's eyes widened slightly. He gave himself a small smile before bursting into laughter. "Am I truly contemplating this situation based on a book?"

He eyed the clock on the wall with little interest. With his stomach grumbling and his mind ordering him to eat, he walked off to the downstairs of his home and into the kitchen. "What to eat?" Kurama repeated over and over as he hunted through the refrigerator for food. Finding only leftovers, he pouted and heated up the food in the microwave. Just before the food was done, his sensitive ears picked up on a familiar sound. Calmly, he walked over to the telephone and answered. "Hello? Minamino Residence. This is Shuichi speaking."

Kurama frowned. "Hello?" He gave a fatigued sigh and would have hanged up if not for the faint whisper that called out his name.

"… Kurama…"

He blinked. "Hiei? You know how to use a telephone?" His response came out before he even thought about it. 'Okay, so it shocked me. That's no excuse to believe that Hiei does not know how to use a…'

"I know how to use these damn ningen devices, fox!" He heard Hiei shout back at him.

Kurama's lips created a smile. Then he found himself doing something that he had never done before. His free hand was playing around with the crimson tresses that fell marvelously on his shoulders. "So, why call me? To let me know you know how to use this human device?" He giggled a little before hearing the fierce demon respond.

"… Kurama, that kiss… I… Forget it!"

"Don't hang up!" Within his chest, Kurama could feel his heart pumping rapidly than ever before. His breath escaped him and he was now filled with several emotions. With a gulp, he decided to venture further on this treacherous path that could most likely leave him in more misery. "Hiei, that kiss… Did you really mean it?"

"Of course! Why else would I… Kiss you? I know you're with the detective, but…"

"Hiei… Yes, I'm with Yusuke," he whispered. Those words pained him to say. They felt like acid on his tongue, and his heart knew what he desired the most.

"Do you love him?"

Kurama could almost hear the hesitation behind Hiei's question. His eyes were filling up with unshed tears, his throat dried out, and his arms and legs were shaking. "I-I love…"

"You do, don't you? Fox, I did once… No, I still have these feelings for you. I know it's too late now. However, I need to say them, even if for this once. I wasted time pitying myself for believing that you would not love me at all for being forbidden. My eyes were opened when I realized that my sister and all of you stood by my side, despite all of my sins and past…"

"Hiei…"

"It was my damn fault that I missed my chance to be with you!"

Kurama's heart raced faster. He knew those words were coming soon, but he had no idea how he would react to them. "Hiei," he repeated again. Saying the name felt unlike anything else on his lips.

"Kurama, I love you… I'll give up my pursuit for your heart, since you belong to another."

Without thinking, he shouted the only words that he knew would keep Hiei on the line. "Hiei, I love you! You were my first love! I-I… Yusuke is with me right now, but my heart, mind, and soul… I need you, Hiei. There is not a doubt within me to say otherwise… Hiei…" Kurama raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"… Kurama… I would do anything to have you by my side…"

Jumping a little, Kurama dropped the phone when he found out that those words didn't come through the phone. He turned around and saw Hiei standing in front of him. The door to house was still closed, and upon further inspection he saw the kitchen window opened. "Hiei?"

The fire demon wrapped his arms around Kurama and held him for an eternity. The redhead could feel Hiei's fingers moving through his hair, his mouth breathing evenly on his neck, and his embrace tighten. "I'm in love with you, and I don't want to let you go… Not to the detective or to anyone else."

"I… Hiei, I want the same for us both, but Yusuke…"

Hiei looked deep into Kurama's eyes, but held him close nonetheless. Kurama could see the passion within Hiei's ruby eyes. Both didn't know what to do at the moment. The sands of time stood still, allowing the two to linger on in peace.

"Hiei," Kurama whispered before capturing Hiei's lips with his own.

Within the moment of their kiss, Kurama felt every ounce of pain, love, and regret hidden in the bounds of Hiei's being. Their kiss soon escalated into what Kurama felt it to be his euphoria. He felt Hiei's hands on his back and chest, making him feel safe and loved. The electricity that ran through their bodies made Kurama gasp for air.

"He's coming," Hiei said to Kurama.

Nodding, Kurama pointed to the window. Hiei understood at once, but kissed Kurama once more before leaving. "Yusuke," Kurama said through short breaths. He heard the front door opening, and he straightened himself out before going over to greet his boyfriend of two years. The pain had come back in chest, but he was for once able to bear it.


A/N: I blame "My Heart Will Go On" for making it extra… Not sure, sweet? Yup, that played throughout their conversations. By the end of it, "The Sharpest Lives" came on and I was able to stop writing. I still don't think they're going to live happily ever after. Remember Hiei's words… Thanks for reading!!
