A/N: HOLY MOTHER OF CRAP. I haven't worked on this in a very long time, which I am sure has thoroughly pissed off some people. Or maybe not. Anyway, I finally got around to working on this. My main problem is that I don't know how to get to the situation that Kurogane is going to be in. I know WHAT is going to happen, but I'm still figuring out how to get there. But…eh.

Anyway, Tsubasa is NOT mine. It belongs to CLAMP and I only abuse my fan rights.

Also, just mentioning, thanks to everyone who reviewed this. I really do appreciate it. *Shogun tears*

Syaoran looked down at Fai, who was still sobbing into his shirt. The boy's eyes were wide and his jaw was slack as he stared at his friend. The brunette wasn't necessarily shocked, but that wasn't exactly what he had expected Fai to say. The blonde in his arms was no longer sobbing; he was just shaking and hiccupping occasionally. Syaoran gently lifted the blonde away from him and looked his friend in the eyes. Fai looked right back, jumping when he hiccupped.

"You like Kurogane?" Syaoran silently asked. Fai nodded, looking ashamed.

"I do. I like him so much. But, he is definitely not ready for a relationship yet. Not even a fake one, much less a real one. I mean, he just came out of the closet! He can't be ready yet! I just…." Fai bit his lip and closed his eyes. "I just don't know what to do. He's my best friend and I don't want to lose him over some silly crush."

"Are you sure you'd lose him? Kurogane is really accepting of things…generally. And honestly, the way you guys do things, I thought you two were together. Even when he was dating Tomoyo." Syaoran admitted. Fai's eyes widened comically in shock, and he gaped in disbelief.

"What? We just did the stuff normal friends would do!" Fai insisted.

"Oh please. Having picnics by the river? Going to the park to fly kites? Watching Broke Back Mountain together instead of Saving Private Ryan? You guys practically reeked of a homosexual relationship." Syaoran scoffed. Fai turned bright red and his mouth open and closed, though no words came out. Crossing his arms and pouting, Fai glared at Syaoran.

"Ok, so maybe those aren't the type of things most guy friends do together, but we had a lot of fun when we hung out." Fai pointed at Syaoran, jabbing the boy in the chest when he finished defending himself and Kurogane. Syaoran smugly smirked.

"Proving my point. Those are basically dates. You two have been dating and not even realizing it," the brunette stated. Fai looked, glared, down at his rainbow converse high tops and thought about what Syaoran was saying. It was true. What they did really qualified as dates and they always enjoyed their time out together. His face relaxed into its natural smile as he thought about it more. Maybe, just maybe, he could propose a relationship with Kurogane. But, he decided, he would wait until Kurogane felt comfortable being out and proud.

"Alright, fine. You're right. But I am so not going to suggest anything yet. At least, I won't until you do the same," Fai said, smirking. Syaoran's face fell and he turned red. Sakura was in their ring of friends and Syaoran had a major crush on the sweet naïve girl. She seemed to be interested in him as well, but the boy didn't seem able to see her attraction to him so he never made a move. Lightly punching Fai in the shoulder, Syaoran stood up.

"Shut up, fairy. We need to get to P.E." Fai just shook his head and smirked as Syaoran walked off and into the gym. Breathing in deeply, Fai followed him.

Kurogane glared at his Calc homework. The numbers were all jumbled on the paper and he was utterly confused. Cursing and slamming his pencil on his desk, Kurogane shifted his thoughts to what had been occurring all hour. Many of the kids in the class, most of them boys, had been hassling him continuously about Fai. They would jeer at him and make crude comments about his friend until he gave the boy next to him a black eye. The teacher hadn't even noticed when the boy started crying. Kurogane looked down up at the clock, wishing it was next hour. He had French with Fai and couldn't wait to talk to the boy and ask him what on Earth was going on. Grumbling he jumped when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"You know, I don't know if you should talk aloud to yourself. And, I don't think Fai knows exactly what is going on either," a soft voice said. Kurogane turned around to face a petite girl behind him. Her brown hair was in low pigtails and her bright green eyes smiled at him. Kurogane turned slightly pink and frowned.

"I…"

"Yes. You were talking to yourself." Sakura cut him off. Kurogane face palmed and groaned.

"Oh god…."

"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone how you feel about him either," she said, a sadistic smirk covering her face. Kurogane looked at her like she had sprouted wings and told him that he was the next Tsar. She giggled and her cheerful look returned. "I heard you earlier as well. You were fighting with yourself about your feelings for Fai."

"…I am pretty sure I like him."

"I figured as much. An honestly, you've shown it."

"What?! How?!" Kurogane questioned.

"I don't know, maybe the day you two made BFF necklaces? Or the time you guys went to a dance together? Or was it the time you two went to Rocky Horror and you dressed as Rocky just to please Fai, who, may I remind you, was Frank-N-Furter?" As Sakura thrust examples into his face, Kurogane's brow furrowed.

"Isn't that stuff—?"

"JESUS NO," Sakura cut in. "You guys are blatantly gay together and just don't seem to notice it." Kurogane turned red and was about to protest when Sakura smiled at him kindly. "And honestly Kurogane, you two are perfect for each other." With that final statement said, the bell rang and Sakura rushed out. Kurogane sat in his seat, mouth open to reply, frozen.

They were?

PSSSSH. EXCUSE THIS PITFUL EXCUSE FOR A CHAPTER.

Oh, and with the teacher thing? That actually happened to me. But instead of hitting the boy in the eye, I hit him in the stomach. It was hilarious. He said girls weren't as strong as boys, so I got angry and punched him in stomach. He doubled over and started coughing, but the teacher just walked by and didn't notice. I loved it.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to update this more. I like where the story is going.
