Fai flitted around the room with a duster, twirling and kicking at the air like he was some kind of dancer…on drugs. Stopping at the window, he stared out and started humming.
Kurogane was sitting in his chair, reading his manga and quickly growing extremely annoyed. Something in him snapped, and he yelled, "Stop humming, Dumbass!"
Fai shrugged and grinned. His roommate had fallen right into his trap. "Okay, Kuro-rin!" he shouted happily… Then he started singing. "A dream is a wish your heart makes!" the blonde yelled as loud as possible, purposefully off key.
He'd started singing just as Kurogane went to take a drink of the water sitting on the table next to him. However, the line made him choke on the water, and he almost spat it out. "What the hell kind of song is that?!" he yelled.
"A good one!" Fai chirped happily.
"No it's not! It's a stupid, girly song! Stop singing it!" In his haste to stop the song that was reminding of the dream he'd had the night before, Kurogane had made a mistake. He didn't tell Fai to stop singing. He told Fai to stop singing that song.
"Fine, party pooper," Fai said, sticking his tongue out and pouting. Then he returned to his cleaning.
The black-haired man relished the silence for a few minutes… Until Fai started singing again.
"Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?"
And again, Kurogane choked on his water. "I thought I told you to shut up, Idiot!"
Fai pouted again. "No… You just told me to not sing 'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes.'"
"Stop saying that!" Kurogane yelled. Every time he heard those stupid words, he remembered that stupid dream about that stupid idiot that there was no possible way he could be falling for. Suddenly, he stood up and stomped out the door, slamming it behind him.
"…It was just the title of a song," Fai said to the now empty space in front of him, wondering what was wrong with his roommate.
Slowly, with a frown, he walked over to the seat Kurogane once occupied, and sat down with a sigh, cupping his head in his hands. What did he do wrong? Sure, he'd teased him by singing loudly purposefully to annoy him, but he always did things like that. The other man always yelled, but he was never that mad. This time, he was so angry that Fai was sure he'd seen his face turning red as he'd left the room. Was it his fault Kurogane had such an outburst? Or was he already having a bad day?
Fai stood up and opened the door, hoping to hunt Kurogane down and find out what was wrong. He couldn't just leave him like that when something was obviously very wrong. After stepping into the hall and closing the door behind him, Fai took off at a sprint. He had to find him.

Many, many thanks to Jill, who… Well, actually, she wrote a few sentences of this. (Yeah, I cheated XD')
