Kurogane didn't expect the other man to kiss him back. And he certainly didn't expect to keep kissing him, letting Fai pull down on the bed. When they finally parted Fai laid his head on his chest, and Kurogane's hand moved to his hair to gently hold him there. He half-expected the wizard to look up with that inane joking smile and say something mocking to piss him off again, but Fai's soft words had none of that effect.
"You don't hate me then, Kuro-mu?"
Kurogane frowned. "...Don't be stupid." Hate him? Well, maybe a little part of him always had, but there was also something fragile about the wizard he couldn't help wanting to protect, and maybe... just a little... he was starting to understand him.
Of course, if anyone walked in right now, he was going to vehemently deny this scene......
