sorry that this chapter neither tells the tale of Kurogane. but they are getting there. in a bit drunken, but at least some sort of sense making way. thanks again ChouRan for the review, and I did get the job :) starting next weeks Wednesday. I still should have some time to write, so this won't be in hiatus or anything. just not updated everyday. unless of course I managed to finish this off before it, but I don't know what those two have in mind for the future.
about the chapter, sorry if it seems to lack everything. I really wanted to write it, but I just donated some blood, am a little dizzy, so I didn't really want to make them reveal their pasts since I would probably accidentally mess them up somehow.
but. I hope you get at least little enjoyment from reading this little chap.

Chapter (

He yawned and leaned his head on top of Fai's soft blond head. They had stood like this already for a while and he was getting sleepy. He wasn't going to admit it, but all the beer had actually had an effect on him. And on the blond too. Why else, or rather how else, would he be this open to show his emotions. But he was so close to dozing of here when the warm body was just pressing against him and Fai clung to his shirt. So he had to speak up

"You finished?"

the blond shook his head but pulled away anyway. Fai wiped his cheeks dry.

"You mind deciding one way or the other?" he continued. The blond was a mess as usual. And his question made Fai giggle. Which looked really odd when his eyes were puffed and cheeks were wet, and still he was laughing. He sighed "You know you are totally messed up?" the blue eyes sparkled even in the dark.

"I used to be just fine. Then you had to come and change everything."

he frowned

"What are you talking about?"

Fai shrugged and shook his head.

"I didn't get emotionally involved in anything. I may have enjoyed being with people, having fun with them, but I didn't care who they were. I didn't want to get to know them." the blond looked serious. "but even though you were a bastard in the beginning.."

"hey!" he interrupted the blond, a bit offended, but Fai just raised a hand and he let the blond continue now that he was for once talking.

"Despite that, I found I wanted to know more about you." the blond frowned. "But you don't talk much about you"

he snorted

"Neither do you"

Fai lifted his shoulders up and held them there a moment before dropping them down with a deep sigh

"Well, I haven't want to heard about others life, so I haven't talked about mine. Besides, I don't have much to tell"

He lifted an eyebrow in disbelief

"Sure. And I am the king of Kongo"

the blond chuckled but then suddenly went serious and grabbed his shoulders and looked him straight in the eye

"Your Highness, why have you granted me the honor of coming here?"

"You mean this party?"

the blond shook his head furiously.

"No you silly. To my school. This city."

he swatted the blond's hands away.

"You are drunk."

"Only a bit Kuro-myu"

he narrowed his eyes

"A lot. No way else would you be talking this freely with me"

"it only gives me courage to talk to you. Not clouds my judgment."

he wasn't buying that. And it must have showed because the blond slumped and crouched down.

"You don't trust me" Fai muttered sadly

he sighed

"I don't trust anyone" he said through gritted teeth. He wasn't exactly thrilled to tell Fai about his past. Especially since the blond was wasted. He didn't want to say the same things again later. The blond looked up at him

"Why not?"

he crossed his arms and looked at the sky

"Because"

Fai reached out a hand and yanked his pant leg

"Has it something to do with why you switched school in the middle of semester?"

he glanced down. The blond's brains were working surprisingly well.

"Yeah"'

with his other hand the blond grabbed his other pant leg, now holding tightly on him. It looked weird, Fai crouching at his knees and looking up at him, ready to take in every word he would say. It made him feel really uneasy

"Get up" he grunted. And Fai obeyed, taking support and dragging himself up by his pants.

When they were both standing again he looked Fai in the eyes. They looked rather clear, maybe the blond was just in a little buzz like himself. He hoped so. Since he was actually going to tell Fai about himself. And he expected to hear more about the blond too.

"Well?" Fai asked hopefully. He run a hand through his hair.

"Not here" he retorted. Fai frowned momentarily. Then when realizing he had actually pretty much like promised to talk, the blond clapped his hands together excitedly.

"Awesome!" then the blond tilted his head "Though Tomoyo won't be too happy that we are leaving already"

he snorted sarcastically

"Right. Because we have been such a good guests."

Fai laughed

"You have a point. Let me go find her and tell her that we are leaving."

he agreed

"I'll be here"

Fai waved a finger at him in mock lecturing

"And no running away with someone else"

he didn't even bother to comment that and the blond went back into the house.

He looked at the sky. There wasn't clouds there but there were too much light here to be able to see any starts. He sighed. He had enjoyed looking at the starry sky back at home. It wasn't long before the blond came back out. Running.

"Hurry!" the blond looked partly amused, partly serious "She is following us!"

hearing the girl's voice coming closer, yelling them to stop he dashed after Fai who was heading to the fence and jumped over it with certain ease. He followed suit, hoping the blond knew where he was really heading. He didn't like the idea of triggering some alarms or facing an angry dog. They went through the next yard and again jumped the fence. He was grateful that this was safe neighborhood and had nice and short fences. Otherwise it wold get rather tricky. Fai turned a corner and ran past a house and into the street. Gasping the air the blond called

"We have to get a bit further still, try to keep up"

"You think I can't keep up with you?" he called back. The blond looked over his shoulder

"No, I think you can manage" Fai winked an eye and accelerated. Damn the blond could go fast when there was no obstacles in the way. Like other students like at school.

Out of breath they finally slowed down and halted, bending in half and taking support from knees.

"Geez" he finally managed and wiped his face "Was it really necessary to go all this length?"

Fai, still struggling to breath answered.

"You clearly don't know her. She thought it would be funny to get us really wasted and, knowing her, do something to us that we would surely regret the next day. Or the rest of our lives."

"really?" he asked curious and received and frown from the blond

"So you do like her?"

he rolled his eyes.

"You are an idiot. If I did, would I have run away like that?"

the blond stared at him a moment and shrugged

"Really. One time in another party she had drown mustaches and glasses and stuff onto peoples faces who had happened to pass out there. Once she even dressed a guy in a dress and took a picture of him."

he shivered

"Good thing we left in time"

the blond nodded and smiled

"Yes" grabbing his hand Fai turned and dragged him along. "Come now, we are nearly there" the blue eyes bored into his "And then we can finally talk in private."

"What about Ashura?"

Fai shook his head.

"It's fine. He has a night sift, so he won't be back until morning."

"What does he do for living?" he inquired. Fai sighed and gave him a reprimand look

"He is a doctor."

he figured that the tone was Fai's way of saying enough of that. And he let it be. Why the hell would he need to know about Fai's 'dad's' life when he could hear about the blond. He was looking forward to it. Because it had to be something real that caused Fai to be unable to show his real feelings freely.

so. I won't say anything about what will happen. because I seem to be wrong with my guesses... until next time, take care, have fun! (and review. it's nice. and motivating. and cheap. unless you pay for the use by the minute )
