Oh look! I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! So I've been going through some hard times, and finally decided to write and let it out. This is going to be pure fluff. Pure pleasure, no conflict, no turning point, THIS is some candy for my fans. You're about to get everything you ever wanted from a romance with none of the annoying plot to get in the way. Ha.

As Kuwabara opened the door to his apartment, he tried to muffle the fact that he was disappointed he wasn't immediately tackled to the ground by his mate. Maybe Hiei was off somewhere? Kuwabara worried his lip as he removed his shoes- maybe he had false illusions about the holiday. Maybe it didn't suddenly strike love into a demon like cupid's bow. Oh well, at least this gave him time to get the surprises together.

Not many were aware, but Kazuma Kuwabara was quite the talented chef when he wanted to be. For several days he had carefully, prepared, marinated, seasoned several courses. He had made dinner whenever Hiei had decided to spend the night, both because he knew the fire demon appreciated a warm meal above most things, and particularly, because for some strange reason, that he realized rather quickly, was that Hiei got very... intimate... when he felt full and comfortable.

Kuwabara knew exactly which dishes Hiei liked best due to specific nuances that he produced when satisfied. A twitch of an eyebrow, a covert grab for seconds, were all Kuwabara needed to see. He also duplicated a particular cake Hiei had spent a few seconds eyeballing as they walked down the streets of town one summery day.

"The luxuries you humans enjoy," Hiei had said, not without a subtle trace of envy. Kuwabara took a mental picture of the pastry and had currently spent the last three hours trying to recreate it.

Kuwabara dashed around the kitchen in preparation. So engrossed was he in his task that he didn't hear the patter of gentle steps approaching from behind.

"Kazuma?" Kuwabara spun quickly, his back to the counter, trying to hide the cake which had been in the process of receiving its finishing touches. Hiei gave Kuwabara a once over. His lover was covered head to food in various substances. there were white clouds of powder on random areas of his clothes and body. Greens, blues, and red icing decorated other areas. Hiei sniffed the air lightly and noticed the colors were made of sugars. He approached Kuwabara slowly, and licked an area of exposed skin.

"Mmm. You are baking something?" Kuwabara shivered at the touch. His soul stirred as he realized this was what he had been waiting for.

"I... I have a surprise for you." Hiei arched an eyebrow at Kuwabara's stammering.

"Oh?" Kuwabara grinned like a dope and avoided Hiei's gaze. He grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him into the dining area. Hiei's eyes widened at the assortment of food displayed on the table.

"This is all for me, koi?" Kuwabara nodded as he flushed at the term of endearment. Hiei had recently begun calling Kazuma by his first name, which caused him enough butterflies. The endearments were something infinitely flattered that he didn't think ever get used to it. And, well, Hiei thought the blush that always found it's way to Kuwabara's cheeks was fetching.

"Please, sit down-" Kuwabara pulled the chair out for Hiei who took the seat swiftly. He watched Kuwabara like a hawk as he loaded his plate with an assortment of food.

Hiei ate never taking his eyes of Kuwabara. He ate only because he knew the care with which he had prepared the meal. Kuwabara rose and kissed Hiei on the cheek,

"Where are you going?" Hiei asked swiftly,

"To finish the dessert-"

"Oh, no you don't" Hiei answered, "I'm not letting you out of my sight." with his indescribable speed, he moved Kuwabara so that his lover was pressed against the table. Hiei placed his hands on Kuwabara's inner thighs in order to push his legs apart.

"I've been waiting for you all day." Kuwabara muttered. Was he trembling? He hoped Hiei didn't notice. He was abundantly aware of how large his body was. Of the edge of the table pressed against his backside. Of the taste of icing still on his tongue.

"I've been waiting for you my entire life," Hiei retorted, stroking Kuwabara's arm gently. Kuwabara's heart stopped,

"What?"

Hiei looked up at Kuwabara's hopeful face. "I've been feeling... strange all day. I'm not sure why. I felt the need to spend time with Yukina. But while I was with her, I kept thinking about you, and how I needed to get to you-to be with you."

"You're with me," Kuwabara smiled down at him.

"I mean something more." Hiei began to undo the front of Kuwabara's pants. Immediately, the red haired teen began to stiffen in response. There was always something to arousing about the deft certainness of Hiei's want.

"I mean to make you my mate this day."
