"What the fuck are you doing?" Kurogane growled. Fay had just pranced into the livingroom, carrying five or six thick blankets in his arms and Kurogane flinched when he saw the mischievous twinkle in Fay's blue eyes.
"Just bringing some blankets to keep us warm throughout the night," Fay smiled, settled on the shaggy sofa and buried himself under the warm and comfortable covers. He ruffled the quilts and laughed a little: "So comfy! I borrowed these from our neighbours, they're such a nice young couple, don't you think?"
"I haven't even seen them."
"The heat hasn't been turned on yet so it's going to be one cold night, much colder than yesterday." He patted the empty seat of the sofa and added: "So come here, Kuro-wanwan!"
"What?!" Kurogane grumbled. He'd rather become Tomoyo-hime's personal maid and wear a frilly dress – well, maybe not that much – than sleep next to the mage on the sofa, under all those blankets, all close and... He didn't even dare to think of all the things that such intimacy usually led to. So he crossed his arms like a little kid and spoke out – or rather, shouted out – his firm objection.
"No way in hell I'm sleeping with you! I'm sleeping in front of the fireplace," Kurogane snarled and was about leave to his and Fay's bedroom – unfortunately for Kurogane, there was only two bedrooms. One had two beds, which obviously were occupied by Sakura, Mokona and Syaoran, and the other room had only one slightly bigger bed and he had to share it with Fay – if he wouldn't have been stopped by Fay's quick remark.
"Oh, but Kuro-chan, the children and Mokona are already sleeping there," Fay said and wiggled a little under the covers, "if you don't want to turn into a ninja icicle, then you'd better come here."
Kurogane stared him and the sofa with an annoyed look, trying to give up the temptation of warmth but his half-frozen toes and the feeling of cold begged to differ. Kurogane had no alternatives. Reluctantly, he sat on the sofa, tugging the blankets closer.
"Gimme some blankets over here, aren't you more resistant to cold?"
"Well, that's true, but..."
"So, gimme more blankets," Kurogane demanded. He refused to get any colder tonight, so he snatched a few blankets from Fay, wrapped himself in them and inched to the other side of the sofa.
"Good night, Kuro-rin," Fay said. Kurogane grunted a vague answer to him.
They both sat silently for several minutes, trying to fall asleep. And as more time passed by, the more Kurogane was shaking, so cold he felt. As he glanced over his shoulder, he noticed that Fay had closed his eyes tightly, he was shaking like a leaf and tried his hardest to stay warm.
"Oi, are you alright?" Kurogane managed to ask. Fay seemed to be even paler than usually. When Kurogane didn't get any answer from him, he roughly grabbed Fay's shoulders and pulled him underneath Kurogane's blankets. He gently covered Fay and himself with them.
"You idiot, you said you could handle the cold!" Kurogane scolded Fay angrily. If he had known that Fay would get this cold, he wouldn't have taken those damn blankets. Fay was now tightly pressed against Kurogane's side, regaining his warmth.
"Sorry," Fay answered softly and let his head fall down. He wanted no eyecontact, he already knew what kind of a face Kurogane had; he knew how Kurogane's brow curved, he also knew how Kurogane's eyes had a very stern gleam in them when he was angry.
Kurogane sighed deeply and suddenly pulled Fay into his lap, twining his arms around the mage's lean body and pressing him against his chest. Though it was the most effective way to stay warm, to Kurogane, it was also the most embarrasing way, so he made sure that Fay wouldn't see the blush covering his cheeks and placed his other hand on the back of Fay's head, burying his hand in the wizard's golden locks. They sat still on the sofa, warming each other, in a tight hug.
"This is just to keep us warm, not a hug or anything. Got it?" Kurogane said akwardly. Fay agreed with a little nod. Kurogane let his head rest on Fay's and Fay pressed his head softly against Kurogane's chest. It was a good thing that Kurogane had already closed his eyes, since now he couldn't see the little, a bit mischievous smile on Fay's lips...
A/N: Thanks for reading the second chapter of The Tsubasa Advent Calendar! The theme for today was 'Hug'!
Enonyymi: Hello again! Today's story was written by me! I hope you liked it, because I sure did. Tehee.
Punainenpuolukka: I liked it too.
Enonyymi: Aw, thank you! And now, of today's theme 'Hug'. Not very Christmasy, was it?
Punainenpuolukka: No, but I don't think it matters. Some of themes we, or more precisely, you made up, weren't very Christmasy.
Enonyymi: Well, I guess you're right. But, anyway, it was a fun subject to write about.
Punainenpuolukka: Can I give a warning for the next chapter?
Enonyymi: Um, yeah, sure. Go right ahead.
Punainenpuolukka: There won't be any dialogue in the next chapter even though that's the only part I can actually write.
Enonyymi: Hmm, sounds interesting. No dialogue...
Punainenpuolukka: Well, please review. We like them.
Enonyymi: Yeah, put a lot of comments and reviews! Thanks for reading!
