Tsubasa: ADVENTchronicles

Coming of LOVE

A Fai/Kuro collection of drabbles

4. Blood

A/N: This drabble was inspired by a post I saw on a forum. I found the way they put it… utterly hilarious and yet, completely sweet. Spoilers go up to the arc with Kamui and Subaru. So… read, enjoy and review! Thanks.

"Kuro-rin doesn't hate me." The mage smiled, looking at the dark ninja seriously and yet, with a light-hearted shrug to his shoulders. It seemed contradictory, but he managed to pull it off somehow. This was the magician's true face, one that Kurogane was still not used to, even though he knew the mage to be very different, such contradictions shouldn't show.

But he played along. "What makes you say that? I told you… you're the kind of person I hate most. That's as honest and blunt as it gets. How could you think otherwise?"

Fai laughed musically and took Kurogane's hand without his permission. It took all of Kurogane's strength not to just punch him off. But he didn't, which meant he was learning at least a basic level of control. Tomoyo-hime would have been so happy to see this and have this knowledge of his progress. It was just plain annoying to Kurogane.

"Nothing says "I love you" like becoming their primary food source!" Fai grinned seductively, biting one of Kurogane's fingers and licking off the small amount of blood that accumulated there.

Kurogane didn't like the way he spoke so freely, but at least if he chose to ignore the mage's chosen words, he could simply admit that it proved he didn't hate him absolutely. Words like 'love' and such heavy accusations would have to wait for another day. The mage was still too weak and their journey was too far from over…

A/N: It's been a while, but please review and tell me what you think!
