"Kuro-riiiiin!" a voice trilled out.
"Kurogane," the young black-haired boy automatically corrected his companion, although he had long ago learned how futile it was to try to get the other boy to call him by his proper name. He would have a new nickname every few weeks or so, and he’d be stuck with that one until a new one was found.
As expected, he was ignored. "Kuro-rin, aren't you excited? We're finally starting school!"
"Whatever," he snorted. Although young, or perhaps because of it, he had little tolerance of other people's idiocy. He only had need for four people in his life: his mom, his dad, his little sister, and the blond now tugging on his sleeve. He didn’t need to go to meet new people at kindergarten.
"Let's go get some ice cream, Kuro-rin!" Fai grabbed his hand and dragged him across the street into the park.
They stopped in front of the ice cream vendor’s cart. “The usual?” Fai was asked by the man selling the treats.
“Yes please!” Fai smiled happily as he was handed a vanilla cone. “And my friend wants a chocolate ice cream!”
“What?” Kurogane jerked his hand out of Fai’s. “I don’t want any ice cream! All that sweet stuff is icky.”
Fai pouted. “Then I’ll eat your ice cream! But Kuro-rin, you didn’t have to be so mean!” He held his hand out again for Kurogane to take.
“Kurogane,” he sighed and linked hands with his friend again. Despite the two years that had passed since he had met Fai, Kurogane had yet to develop a resistance to that adorable pout (although in his defense, they really didn’t see each other that often, only a dozen or so times since their first meeting). “Sorry. But you know I don’t eat sweet stuff!”
Fai prodded his cheek. “You’re just so weird, Kuro-rin!”
Kurogane sputtered in indignation. He was ordered to take the chocolate ice cream when it was given and followed Fai to a park bench, not far from where their moms were sitting. He watched as Fai finished off his ice cream cone in record time and demanded for the chocolate one that Kurogane was holding.
“Let’s walk while I eat, Kuro-rin!” Fai exclaimed.
Kurogane got up reluctantly. “Let’s go then.”
“Wait!” Fai commanded childishly. “We have to hold hands again!”
Kurogane groaned. It wasn’t that he minded holding hands exactly; it’s just that he really wasn’t a very touchy feely person as Fai obviously was. “You’re so clingy!”
Fai’s face fell a bit, but he soon shook it off. “I just don’t like being alone, Kuro-rin. I don’t want to ever have to be alone.”
Kurogane felt bad for making Fai sad, so when he saw the blond reach for his hand again, he didn’t resist.
“Hyuu! It’s such a nice day today!” Fai happily skipped along, forcing Kurogane to swing his hand along with him.
Kurogane growled.
“Awww! Is Kuro-rin grumpy?” Fai poked his cheek again, and squealed in delight when Kurogane growled again. His hand was poised for another poke when Kurogane glared at him. “He is, he is!”
Fai laughed and ran off, leaving Kurogane to chase him.
My pride is at stake here! The four year old thought as he ran as quickly as he could across green grass and yellow dandelions and under blue sky and sometimes under brown branches and green leaves.
Not fast enough, for when Fai finally slowed and allowed Kurogane to catch up, the raven-haired boy was huffing while the blond was barely breathing hard.
“How … do you … do that?” He asked, panting.
“Do what?” Fai asked innocently, blue eyes sparkling.
“Run so fast!” Kurogane was slightly irked that he, who spent so much time outside with his dad, had been beaten by Fai. “And your ice cream is still in your hand!”
Fai cocked his head to the side and smiled adorably. “I don’t know, Kuro-rin. I just like to run, I guess. I like to go fast and I like the feeling of wind in my face.”
“Hmph.” Now very miffed, Kurogane started walking again. This time, it was Fai who trotting along behind him.
“Kuro-rin, I think we sho-ahh!” Kurogane spun around when he heard Fai’s squeak. He was just in time to have ice cream splattered against the front of his shirt and his neck as Fai tottered, on the verge of falling. The shorter boy grabbed onto Kurogane’s shirt and steadied himself.
“So, you can run like the wind but you can’t walk a meter without tripping?” Kurogane asked, amused.
Fai giggled, but then his expression turned to one of remorse. “Kuro-rin … I’m sorry for ruining your shirt.” Both boys were now smeared with chocolate ice cream from the waist up.
“It’s okay,” Kurogane didn’t really mind. He had plenty of other black shirts like this one. “I’m just glad you didn’t fall.”
“I have Kuro-sama to catch me whenever I fall because he’s such a good friend!” Fai announced. Kurogane blushed slightly.
“You have ice cream in your hair,” Kurogane unsubtly changed the subject. “We can go wash it off at the water fountain.”
Fai’s face light up and he responded quickly with, “You have chocolate on your neck. We can …”
“What … are you doing?” Kurogane asked, bewildered. Fai was now licking his neck like a kitten.
“I’m a vampire, and I’m sucking Kuro-rin’s chocolate blood!” Fai giggled again. “You’re so yummy, Kuro-rin!”
Kurogane growled. “Get off me!”
Fai laughed. “Hyuu! Kuro-rin’s mad again!” He ran off.
Kurogane groaned inwardly. Not this again …

Now (21 years and 4 months old)
Kurogane furrows his brow and thinks hard back to that day. There was someone else, he thinks, someone else that had remained between their two mothers the entire time. But despite his concentration, he can’t remember who it was, or what he looked like.
Could he have been important? Kurogane can’t think of why someone he can’t even recall would have had a profound effect on Fai.
So for now, all he can do is remember.

A/N - A pretty fluffy chapter, I guess XD The plot sort of starts moving in the next chapter, so I hope you will all keep reading and drop me a comment about what you think!
