When the PE teacher heard the bell rang, he paused from lecturing his students and reminded them some few stuff before exiting the class. He had things to do so he didn't stay that long and made his words brief to them.

The teacher immediately went to his room to arrange his desk before an annoying chemistry teacher catches up to him. It's not like he didn't want to see the blonde, it's more of… he couldn't yet, not until everything is still vague. He kissed Fai once, on the lips and he himself is unsure of how and what Fai felt after that. He tries to stay away from Fai but it is a fact that whenever he passes at one of Fai's teaching class, he can't help but to actually steal a glance of the said teacher's face. Actually he'd be lying to himself if he didn't admit that somewhere along the line he feels something more for Fai. Right now… the tan teacher needs something called 'space'.

The next time he sees Fai… will be the time when his feelings are clear.

Sigh.

He left the room and heads to the door. After locking it, he walked towards the Home Economics Room to ask a favor from Yuui. Why Yuui? Simple, because he's his twin. As he entered the said room, he saw Fai's splitting image looking at some paper.

"Kurogane-sensei, what brings you here?" The blonde noticed his presence and smiled to him.

"I want to tell you something…" He started, scratching the back of his head, hesitant of what he's about to say.

"Has it got something to do with Valentine's Day?" Yuui voice was a lot calmer than that of Fai's. He wonders if the chemistry teacher's voice is originally like that. "More importantly, with Fai?" the blonde wore a knowing smile.

The taller man diverted his eyes away from Yuui… from sheer embarrassment. "Ah." He replied.

"How predictable." Kurogane caught the other teacher's whispered comment. "Then I accept."

"You know Kurogane-sensei… Fai told me a story about what happened in the PhysEd room." Yuui was still wearing a soft smile and Kurogane thinks if smiling is a Fluorite Family thing.

The tan teacher was listening to more of what the other was about to say…

"Yuuui~!!" But it was soon interrupted by none other than the other twin.

"Fai." Yuui responded to his brother.

He saw the science teacher looking at him. "Fancy meeting Kuro-pii-sensei here~! What brings you to Yuui~?"

"I was… uhmm…" Kurogane felt his face heating up. He can't just say to Fai that he wanted to make something for him. "…talking to your twin. What's it to you?" He looked back at Yuui as if asking for help to get out of the situation.

Kurogane immediately put back his attention to the chemistry teacher when he noticed that he was quiet for once, no retorts, no stupid smile… nothing but a distant feature on his face. Then he noticed his hand…

"Oi." The taller teacher called his annoying colleague while raising an eyebrow as he went nearer to him.

"Fai…" somehow Yuui also noticed the red fluid flowing from Fai's hand.

"Ah~! I think I forgot something at the lab~!" the blonde ran to the door. "I'll come back later Yuui~" That was an obvious lie, Kurogane perceived. Kurogane hissed clutching his hands in anger and run off to catch the stupid blonde.

Forgot something at the lab? Tsk. "Your lab is in the other direction, you moron." Kurogane thought when Fai went right even if his lab is on the left side of the building.

Something was definitely wrong, both in the physical and emotional state of Fai. That look on his face… the pained expression and the sudden change in his usual friendly voice. Everything was so goddamn annoying!

What the heck??!! What was that all about?!! What the hell is that blonde thinking??!! Can't he freaking take care of himself??!! It pisses him off whenever that teacher draws a line that doesn't what others to get through him. This idiot doesn't even know what a pain in the neck he is doing such things. But why is it that the PE teacher wants to always cross whatever line Fai creates?

He saw the blonde teacher making his way to the school gate.

"Oi. Where are you going?" He called loud enough for Fai to hear him but the other didn't bulge, didn't even face him, just continued running. This seriously ticked Kurogane off.

"I'm talking to you! Damn it!" He grabbed Fai at the wrist carefully, not wanting to hurt the other by his firm grip. The blonde refrained from walking, his eyes widening when they met the angry red orbs.

"A-ahahaha~!" The other stuttered. "Kuro-min-sensei? What's up all of a sudden~?" He wanted to get the silly smile out of the teacher's face. The fairer man shook his hand; the taller teacher deduced that Fai wanted to get away from him… Tsk. As if he's gonna let go…

"What are you doing?" Kurogane asked using his usual deep voice.

"Me~? I decided to get a change of clothes because I thought Yuui has some things to do~" Another obvious lie. Why can't he just tell what's bugging him?

"No, you're not." He spoke under his breath.

"Eh? But I need to~ Yuui might wait for me for a long time if I don't get home sooner." The blonde replied. Kurogane sighed again, reaching for his own pocket. He let out a small hankie and gently wiped and pressed it on the blonde's cut hand. He heard Fai hissed and eyed his expression.

"Idiot!!" He scolded Fai with his loud gruff voice, sounding between being worried and angry. "What are you doing walking around bleeding like that??!!!" If he could just punch the lights out of the teacher before him, he would, but seeing the blonde is… fragile, he held back the action and continued using other methods to give some sense to the other man. He saw the chemistry teacher looking at his own hand. What the heck?? Didn't he know he was injured??! This stupid son of a… "Why didn't you treat it earlier?!!" he glared directly at the lithe teacher hoping to find some straight answer.

Kurogane turned his back still holding Fai's hand and dragged him into the school. He needs to treat that wound and knowing Fai's state he probably wouldn't last seeing his own blood. Besides, didn't he promise something like this to the irritating over-pitched blonde teacher??

He walked with an unhurried pace for the blonde to catch up and to not have stumble on the way.

"Kuro-chi-sensei?" Fai managed to talk, sounding uncertain probably because he just got scolded like a child by the taller teacher. Nevertheless Kurogane stayed quiet for Fai to resume whatever he wants to say. "I can treat it when I get home that's why this time, you don't have to…" Like hell you will – the tan teacher commented in his mind. "…do this." It was a soft murmur and even if he has no idea what Fai's face is wearing, he predicted that the other must have remembered the little promise from back then.

They stopped at the PhysEd Room, the closest room, and entered. He let go of the soft hand and told the other to sit. For once, he was glad Fai didn't retort and just obey. He immediately went to a small cabinet where the first aid kit is in. He got hold of the white box and move towards Fai. He put the box on his desk and the first thing he noticed was Fai deliberately keeping his hand away from Kurogane. How childish – Kurogane thought rolling his eyes. Fai was at fault for not taking care of his own while Kurogane was confident Fai would surrender his hand soon as he glared intently at the blue orbs. After a good three seconds, the blonde slowly gave his hand to the dominating teacher.

Once he got the chemistry teacher's hand, he fumbled with his other hand in the box and let out a bottle of anti-septic and a piece of clean white cloth. Instinctively, Fai pulled his hand away but didn't succeed because Kurogane predicted it and held him preventing him from further move.

"On second thought Kuro-rin… I can take care of this myself." Even though he heard the blonde's words, he still continued on putting ointment on the cloth. "I-I don't want to…" he heard him plead and again tried to pull his hand back, however Kurogane gave him the silent piercing glares.

"Shut it." The taller man ordered. "This was your fault not mine so bear with it." He delicately caressed the wound's opening with the cloth.

"I know but..." The chemistry teacher hissed.

"So? Does it have any strange chemicals?" Kurogane changed the topic for Fai to concentrate in something else other than the wound.

"No, it was just plain water." He answered weakly.

"Tsk. No need to look. It won't hurt that much." He assured the other teacher using a calmer tone of voice. The gym teacher worked on cleaning the blood on his hand and wrapped a clean piece of cloth on Fai's hand. "See? All done." He secured the wound by wrapping a new clean cloth around it.

Fai stood up from his seat and Kurogane saw him wriggling a bit.

"Thank you~ Kuro-rin-sensei~!!!" The blonde thanked as if nothing had happened but Kurogane knew better. After the chemistry teacher's comment, his body gave up making him fall to the ground.

"You really are an idiot." He spoke grabbing Fai on the waist before he hit solid ground and rested the lithe body on his broad warm chest.

"Kuro-min…?" He managed to still hear the word that came out of his mouth.

Another heave from Kurogane, "Did you forget? You can't take the sight of blood?" He mumbled and realized Fai was fast asleep. "This was just like last time…" Kurogane talked to himself.

Back then, Fai visited Kurogane's place unannounced to eat together. Kurogane then said that there's no food at his house and nothing decided to have ramen tonight. Fai on the other hand let himself in and proposed to cook dinner. Kurogane replied, "Do whatever the hell you want." He waited at the sofa while Fai worked on the kitchen. The sound at the kitchen stopped when Fai shrieked. Immediately, Kurogane ran to him to find out what was going on. He saw Fai sitting on the floor blood oozing from the back of his hand. "Kuro-rin, do something about it." Fai looked up to him.

"It's a minor cut, you can treat it yourself, and I'll get something you could wipe it with." He said, though he thought if he was being cold since it looked like a two-inch cut.

"…but…" Then Kurogane heard a sob.

He furrowed his eyebrows, "Oi. What the hell?"

"It's just…" He saw the blonde clenching his fist and was a bit shaken. "No, never mind." He added, wiping some of the welled up tears

"Tsk." He approached the man pulled him upwards by his uncut arm. "How childish. Don't tell me you're afraid of blood?" They walked towards Kurogane's room.

"That's… I am…" He answered shyly.

Kurogane rolled his eyes and patted the man's head. "I understand… just… tell me if you ever cut yourself, I'll treat it myself." He said. "But that's only because you made dinner…" He added.

Fai let out a small giggle. "Waah~ Kuro-sama-sensei's so nice to me~!" He smiled and Kurogane saw it and inwardly smile to himself. Sometimes, at times like this, Kurogane wonders if he's the only one who gets to see the blonde's face like that… actually he wanted to be the only one.
