KuroxFai- The Official Canon Gloating Thread

All along, Fai and Kurogane have been paired up. It's been in the artwork and covers...with Fai usually either very close or even touching Kurogane's arm. Kurogane has watched Fai like a hawk and that has been evident in both the anime and the manga.
When you start getting into recent chapters, it becomes very evident to anybody with even a remotely open mind. Kurogane's talk with Fai for one thing. Yes, he talks to Syoaran but he kind of shrugs and accepts Syraoran's behavior even when it isn't something he likes. With Fai, he gets irritated and narrows his eyes and tries to talk to Fai about it.
In the latest chapter...a detail people may have missed is that Kurogane HOLDS Fai the entire time. Why? The bed is there. Pillows are there if Fai's head needed to be raised. Yet throughout the entire chapter, Kurogane remains there holding Fai instead of setting him down. In one picture, Kurogane's other hand is resting on Fai's chest.
Let me tell you...I cannot see a straight guy, no matter how close to another male buddy, holding him and resting his hands on their chest. Sorry, wouldn't happen.
Even barring that interpretation of it (admitting I'm a FaixKuro fan here) ....
Kuorgane, suspicious as he is, asks the witch if Fai can be saved. Then he's willing to do anything to save him. He not only becomes responsible for Fai's life but also binds himself to him, tangibly, for the rest of their lives. So he now has an emotional responsibility for Fai's life but a physical one as well...now being Fai's "food source". And he does it willingly and without hesitation.
I cannot truly see him doing that for Shoaran or Sakura. Yes, he'd fight for them. Probably die to protect them...and no doubt would go a long way to save them if he could. But somehow, I simply can't see him willing to bind himself for the entirety of their lives to either of them. This goes beyond fighting for someone or dying to protect them. This becomes a life time commitment to them. And Kurogane chose this...knowing that from here on out, he and Fai will ALWAYS be together.
Truthfully, I can't see any potential other partners willing to "share" like that. If either Fai or Kurogane were to be with other people romatically, they would have to accept that Fai and Kurogane have both a physical and emotional bond unlike any other. In some ways, this binds them CLOSER than even a typical romantic bond. How many people can say they are literally dependent for their lives on their partner? How many people can say that they are responsible for their partner...not just the standard level but as a magickal price for a wish? That pretty much becomes something of a geas. While there are people out there who could share in that manner, it's few and far between and I can't see it happening here.
Unless, in some bizarre twist, Clamp shows a TRUE other pairing for either Fai or Kurogane...I think it's pretty much canon at this point. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next chapter, though.

Woah, this is one of the most beautiful posts I've ever read. Love you for this, really. *hands you a bowl of fake cookies and a pineapple*
And, you know, guys... Even after this chapter, I've still been a little cautious. What if CLAMP don't have them as pairing, though? What if it really is only deep friendship? Would be terrible. But everytime I read anything like this, I just feel like: OMG. Canon, guys, you're right. Hitsuzen, it's destined to be. Yeah!

I have that horrible feeling sometimes too. Reading the posts here always make things better. :)

O_O
That was one hell of a first post, lynalar. I love you. Everything you said was perfect. They ARE bound together now, and any other conceivable pairing would have to acknowledge that. I gave you a cookie for it.
So, if anybody should be yelling "_____ forever!!" it's the KF fans, since they actually WILL be together forever, like it or not XD

No, I think they will be a pairing - unless something goes tragically wrong in later chapters (we still dont know the whole story - any of the story, really - on Ashura, and this might affect it.). And even then, I think it would still be KuroFai. Even if the ending was infinately depressing and they both died or something D':
CLAMP arent the type to just go down the good friends route. I honestly cant see it ending up with Fai and Kuro paired with anyone else than each other.
Seriously. They're blood bound together forever. How can either of them be with anyone else?
and *applauds lynalar* very nice post.
Kjesta:
Yup, agree with you all. It'd just be boring if they were like "Oooh, hello, pal. Time to feed?" now *gags*
lynalar, I printed your post out and will take it with me to the doctor's now to make the waiting comfortable XD
(by the way, my foot is almost completely okay again!)
