Chapter "

Throughout the day he had been followed by that blond who just kept chatting with him despite his lack of answers. He would have been suspicious about Fai's motives, in case he had somehow been traced by his bullies and Fai was their sidekick, if Fai would have been any brighter. Or normal. The guy just smiled no matter what happened and what was said, even though he could tell the smile didn't reach his eyes. He didn't know the blond at all but still it was clear that if the smile was that bright, there should have been some happiness or joy or some warmth emitting from the blue orbs.

So he let the blond tail after him albeit he had decided not to get close to anyone anymore. He had already dismissed the calls of his old friends. He would not have any dealings with unhonored people like that. During the lunch break Fai did leave his side and went to sit with other people. He watched their eating, how the blond smiled both ways and they all laughed occasionally. And yet he couldn't see the blond being really happy. Sure, he seemed like he was, but he could tell better. Even though he couldn't tell why he was so sure about it. Like hearing his thoughts the blond looked at his direction. There was a small surprised looked in the blue eyes, and then there was a smile only for him. It didn't last long, but he was taken aback by it. When the blond concentrated back to his friends he let his breath out. Now he was certain. Because he had seen that spark in the blue eyes. Which meant that for some reason Fai had been happy that he had been looking at him, and that indeed the blond was faking his smiles.

He frowned. Even so, it was not his business. He finished his lunch and headed out. From the corner of his eyes he noticed that Fai was looking him too but this time doing it indirectly too. He tore his gaze away he would not be dragged into someone else's problems.

The school was over and the blond was tagging along again.

"So Kuro-nee, how do you like the school?"

he shrugged

"fine" he grunted. They walked on in silence. Then the blond asked

"Where are we going?"

he glanced at the blond. The blond looked at him with that damn fake smile. It annoyed him suddenly so much. And his stare turned into a glare

"Nowhere. I'm going home, you can go wherever you want"

there was a brief hurt in the blue eyes, but it too was swallowed by the smile

"I see. Kuro-pin is tired after first day in new place. Not to worry, I can show you around some other time, okay?"

"My name is Kurogane you idiot." he growled. The blond opened his mouth to say something but he didn't let him "And that smile. Wipe it off."

the blond tilted his head to the side and the light bangs swayed around his pale face

"Why? Everyone loves my smile"

he grabbed Fai's hand and pulled him closer and hissed

"Not everyone. I hate it. I know it's fake."

The blue eyes widened in shock and Fai opened and closed his mouth trying to form some sort of comeback.

"What are you doing?!" an angry voice boomed from their side. They both looked there and there was a teacher approaching them. She wore a black clothes and had a long black hair. She was literally sheathing with rage. "In my school there is no violence" a glare to him "Except maybe from me to a student. I know your record, but I really thought that you would have learned your lesson during your..."

"Shut up!" he snapped. He didn't want that woman to talk about his past "You don't know what you are talking about" he said more calmly and let go of Fai. The blond stepped back and smiled at the woman, careful not to rub his arm even though he knew he had grabbed it rather hard.

"Don't worry miss Yuuko, everything is fine. We were just discussing what places Kuro-pun "he glared the blond who acted like he hadn't noticed it. "wants to see today. You know, he has just moved here, so he doesn't know the places"

the woman glanced between them crossing her hands over her bosom but expression relaxing

"Is that so?" she asked with a smooth voice. Fai nodded happily and gripped his hand in turn

"For sure. He just got excited when I told him that we have the best ice cream bar there is"

"I did not!"

Fai smiled at him mischievously and the woman laughed and let her arms fall down

"Okay. I believe you" the woman looked at him stern in the eye "But you better keep up the good attitude. Have a nice day boys!" she called and started walking away with a wave of her hand.

He rolled his eyes. This place was so odd. Like he would have fallen through a wormhole or something. The blond followed him around like a puppy, and teachers were a mismatch of bastard and nice people.

"Let go" he swatted the blond off of his arm. The blond did so and cocked his head to the side

"So, as a thank you, will you offer me an ice cream?"

his jaw dropped. What the heck goes through that blond head

"C'mon, I did save you a lot of trouble didn't I?"

he rubbed his temple. Getting beaten up is easier to take than this.

"Fine.." he mumbled. Somehow, it seemed like the only thing to do. The blond kyaaed happily and bounced to give him a hug. First he didn't know how to react and by the time he had recovered the blond was already giggling and running away.

"Damn you!" he cursed and chased after the blond. No one could just hug him like that.

that's that. you liked? at least red? I will say that there is more to his past than I have let on so far. unless you have stayed real alert. I'm bit hesitant will Fai have issues too or will it be just kuro-koi. opinions?
