The blond strands of hair slithered through his fingers. It had the texture of silk and he enjoyed every time he got the chance to hold it.
"You've let it grow for a long time now without cutting it." The ninja pulled the brush carefully through the mop of hair.
"Yeah." Fay's voice cut through the room as knife, stabbing Kurogane in the process.
"Why?" He was careful not to hurt the mage so he brushed the hair as gently as possible. Fay sat with his back towards him on a chair, both of them avoiding each other's gaze.
"I don't know." Fay's voice sent chills of pain through the ninja. "You don't need to brush my hair."
"Your hands are hurt. If you don't want to go around like a scarecrow you let me brush it," Kurogane was finished brushing a long time ago but still he continued, soft silk against his hands in each movement of the brush.
"I guess." Fay's tone of voice said end of discussion. 'I guess I have reached the limit of words I can get out of Fay these days...' Kurogane heart cringed in pain, his eyes showed way too much, it didn't matter anymore.
Kurogane reached for something to tie the hair together with when Fay suddenly got up. He didn't speak nor look at the ninja. He left the room leaving Kurogane alone with his pain.
