Sweet Nothings

He watched as Kurogane slept, feeling the solid chest underneath his hand swelled up and down with deep even breaths. It was rare to see him so content and peaceful, the harden planes on his face soften and much more youthful looking in sleep. The grass below them was lush and thick making a comfortable cushion for them and he could hear the distant hum of cars passing by and the buzz of the city as every one went about their work. He was glad that they have this little moment to themselves before Kurogane has to return to his firm to attend to his usual cases.

They weren't together for long and he remembered the first time they met, how that pair of crimson eyes had looked at him full of despise and loathing, haughty and arrogant. Fay had never felt so insulted and insignificant and he regretted asking the man for his help. But his agent, Syaoran has told him that he's the best there is and that any dead cases under his hand would be fought to live and would be won and what could Fay say against that? Kurogane did proved himself worth the dignity he scrubbed off when asking for his help, he won the case for him and victory over the case had propelled his singing career to new heights as the press got more interested in him.

He had also in the end, managed to secure Kurogane's exclusive services as his law consultant and learned a lot about the man in process, he grew to respect his righteousness and strong principles for he never would agree to anything that is not in the right side of law, he adamantly and absolutely abhor corruption and never gave in to pressure from higher levels. Fay had also managed to get Kurogane to look at him in a different view, managed to convince him that he was not the money grubbing toy boy that he thought he was, that he worked hard for every success he had today and that he would not be ashamed of being born a son of a murderer.

The sky overhead had grown dark as the wind picked up its speed; Fay knows he has to wake Kurogane up else they would be caught in the coming storm.

"Hey, sleepy head….wake up." Fay called out gently beside Kurogane's ear and ran his fingers through his spiky black hair.

"hmm…is lunch time over..?" Kurogane asked, his voice still groggy with sleep.

"You really should take a vacation, you'll work yourself to death like this. Lunch time was over an hour ago." Fay said as he anticipated his flare up.

"WHAT! And you didn't think of waking me up!" Kurogane growled, almost shouting and sprung to his feet as he grabbed his suit jacket off the ground, hastily dusting away the remnants of grass that stuck to the fabric, all the while glaring at Fay.

"Ne…Kuro-pipi, you should thank me for letting you rest a bit more. You won't look handsome with those eye bags, you know?" Fay said as he reached out to Kurogane's arms for support as he picked himself up off the ground.

"Who cares about eye bags when I've got paying clients waiting for me?"

"That was selfish, you don't care about my opinion anymore?" Fay whined and pouted as he linked his arms about Kurogane's neck, mimicking a look of misery.

Kurogane sighed in defeat, he hates it when Fay turn on that pout. He can never stay angry or refused anything once that pout was thrown his way.

"I don't mean it that way and you know it." He replied gruffly, his own arms had already nestled themselves around Fay's waist on their own accord.

"You better not…or I'm breaking up with you."

"Are you that petty?" Kurogane asks as a smile started creeping up the corner of his mouth.

"I could be if I want to…" Fay answered and lean in to plant a chaste kiss on Kurogane's cheek.

"Hnn, you think too highly of yourself. I would be relieved if you ever choose to be rid of me."

"Liar." Fay answered as he let his lips wander to Kurogane's.

"Never been one" Kurogane answered back as he returned the kiss and held Fay tighter against him, enjoying the feel of his soft slender body against his. All of a sudden it didn't matter that he couldn't be back to his office in time; it felt good just to be here in this quiet park, to have Fay in his arms whispering whatnots to each other.

"Don't be a smart ass…" Fay whispered against the sensual curve of Kurogane's lips as he felt him relaxing into his embrace. He didn't think Kurogane would think that way, but it was the closest that he could ever come to saying sweet nothings as a lover to him…
