"Lick it."

"The hell I will!"

"Ooh, why not?"

"Because it's fucking disgusting!"

"How can you think like that, Kuro-sama?"

"There's already your spit on it," the ninja grunted.

"But you've even kissed me before, haven't you, Kuro-chu?"

"Well – argh, that's totally different thing than licking some stupid stick you've munched!"

"It's not some stupid stick. It's called a 'candy cane' and it's really good."

"It's that sugary crap that you always eat."

Earlier that same day Fay left from the bakery without his most favourite ninja. The said ninja was still working but he had told Fay to go home to make dinner for the children; Kurogane would come when he's finished.

On his way home, the mage came across with a candy shop and his enormous sweet tooth started to ache by the mere sight of the candy shop's window so he absolutely had to stop by.

He entered the shop, which was fairly small. There was three big shelves and a wooden counter next to the window. Behind the counter stood a smiling shopkeeper with short, red hair and a dark purple dress. She welcomed Fay to her shop.

There was so many different kinds of sweets in the shop that Fay, quite uncharacteristically, almost started to drool. Suddenly he realized that he did not have much money with him and he pondered what he should do: he didn't want to leave empty-handed but neither did he want to buy sweets only for himself.

He looked around if there'd be something cheap enough to buy for the whole group. Then he saw something red and white behind the shopkeeper's counter.

"Good day, miss. Um, I'm unfamiliar with this place and I was wondering, what are those red and white sticks over there?" Fay inquired from the young woman with a polite smile.

"Oh, they're no sticks, Sir. They're called 'candy canes'," she explained.

Fay looked into his wallet. He could only buy four candy canes. 'Well, I could probably share one with Kuro-daddy', the blonde thought to himself.

"I'll take four."


Fay went happily home with four candy canes in his pocket. Surprisingly, he was the first to arrive home so he deciced to start making the dinner while waiting the others to return.

He peeled some potatoes to make smashed potatoes and put them into a pot, which he placed on the stove. When he started to make the sauce for the potatoes, Sakura and Mokona came home and they both wante to help their 'mother'. Fay smiled to them and asked Sakura to make some salad while Mokona could set the table. Just when the dinner was almost done, the doggy duo arrived home.

When they had finished their meal, they started discussing of their day, except Kurogane, who stayed silent and grunted to everyone who tried to ask him anything.

"Oh, I almost forgot! I bought us something!" Fay remembered and rushed to his coat.

"These are for you three," he came back smiling and gave candy canes for Mokona, Sakura and Syaoran.

"Yippee, a candy cane!" Mokona cheered.

"Thank you, Fay-san!" the two teens said almost simultaneously.

Soon the children and Mokona got tired and wished good night to their 'parents'. When Fay was certain that they had fallen asleep, he took one more candy cane from his pocket and started licking it. He knew Kurogane was watching him closely and suggested that the ninja would lick the candy cane too. He, of course refused.

After their short debate, Fay continued licking his sweet and he noticed how Kurogane was getting slightly annoyed by the style which he ate the candy in.

Fay was sliding the candy in and out and again in and out from his mouth. Kurogane stared his lips intently but still tired to hide his interest.

'Oh, I could use this to my advantage', he thought slyly. So, he continued what he was doing, just to annoy the ninja even more.

He looked the candy cane with half-lidded eyes and nibbled it slightly. Then he slid it in and out from his mouth. He glanced at the ninja. Kurogane flinched while their eyes met.

"Stop that already!" the darker man yelled and his face was a little blushed.

"What, Kuro-pon?" Fay asked. "I'm just..." lick, nibble, suck, "... eating this."

"That's it!" Kurogane grabbed Fay arm and started dragging him upstairs.

"Oh, I guess you changed your mind about the licking, hm? Kuro-sama."

"Just shut up," Kurogane brawled ", and leave that stupid stick downstairs. I'll have you lick something else upstairs."
