ciirceeVery, very short Tsubasa bit. There are possible hints of slash! Yay, me! Truthfully, I was just really bored and didn't want to hold the cat down to wash the peanut butter off of him.
Kurogane looks at Fai. He looks at that cheerful, elfin face and he thinks, ‘I won’t miss being called Kuro-rin. Or, god forbid, Kuro-pi.’
“An apple for your thoughts, Kuro-tan,” Fai says cheerfully, dropping down to sit in front of him, handing him an apple.
He takes a large bite of the apple (pink???) and chews, watching Fai continue to smile at him. Finally he swallows and asks, “This person…the one who’ll come for you…can you fight him?”
Fai nods, his smile fading at the edges. “For a little while.”
“But you wouldn’t win.”
“No.”
He’s still smiling and Kurogane reaches out to cuff him on the shoulder saying, “That’s not good news.”
Fai grins and knocks him on the chin. “That’s why I’m traveling with Syaoran-kun and Kuro-chi.”
“My Japan would be safe,” Kurogane says thoughtfully around another bite of the apple. “Between me, you, Sôma, and Princess Tomoyo…” he trails off with a shrug, not sure what's he's offered or if he has or for what reason.
“Kurogane…” Fai’s smile is gone entirely and Kurogane can’t help a frown at his given name. “Why?”
Then he understands. “Princess Tomoyo could use somebody like you,” he mutters. But he thinks, ‘I’d miss him’.
