Theme: Tinsel

The minute a discussion about decorating the tree that he'd somehow been convinced to cut down and drag inside came up, he made a frantic break for it, choosing to retire outside to run through his sword exercises. By the time he returned, sweaty and pleasantly exhausted, the tree was decorated, though it looked like it had put up a good fight. He was fairly certain that Sakura was wearing two ornaments as a pair of earrings, and there was no mistaking the patina of shiny silver coating Fai's hair.

"Kuro-rin!" The blue eyes sparkled almost as much as the tinsel above them.

"Kuro!" Mokona bounced onto the arm of the couch. "You missed it! We had a fight!"

"Hn."

Fai was picking pieces of tinsel out of his hair while Sakura and Syaoran picked up the rest of the debris. He managed to get most of it out of the front, but wasn't making much progress on the back.

He set his sword down in the corner and twisted right and left to stretch his arms and back. He turned to find Fai standing a few feet from him with his hands clasped behind his back. "What do you want, mage?" Fai's arms were around his neck before he had a chance to react. As much as Fai harassed him, physical contact like this was unusual, and Kurogane struggled to get his mental legs back under himself.

A small sliver of air separated Fai's lips from his own, and Kurogane strangled down the desire to close the gap.

But then Fai smeared a handful of tinsel into his hair, and his urge died almost instantaneously. He snatched up his sword and chased Fai across the room.

OOOOOO

Poor Kurogane... ^^
