“You must be cold, Kuro-rin!” Fai teased after they walked in near silence for a few moments.

“Ridiculous,” Kurogane scoffed. “I don’t get cold.”

“Everyone gets cold,” Fai’s smile suddenly turned darker. “Just like everyone gets lonely and everyone gets scared.”

“I would have thought you like the cold,” Kurogane said thoughtfully. “I mean, you remind me so much of ice sometimes …”

“Ice?” Fai asked. “That’s not a very nice thing to compare someone to, Kuro-puu!”

“It’s true,” Kurogane continued, ignoring Fai’s futile efforts to divert the conversation elsewhere. “I mean, people might think you’re solid, but when you’re put under pressure you crack. People might admire your glittering and your sparkling, but you only glitter and sparkle when the light hits you just so. Your surface is deceivingly pretty, and underneath it lies something darker and deadly. You thrive on the cold and when warmth is given to you, you fall apart. You might seem so clear and simple, yet if a closer look is taken, all of these fascinating hidden imperfections show up. You don’t give off any warmth because you’re too afraid that others will get too close and comfortable.”

Fai saw Kurogane watching him out of the corner of his eye as they continued to walk, a silence now hanging over them.

“Is that what you really think?” Fai asked, his eyes not meeting Kurogane’s when the taller man turned to him.

“It’s what I really think,” Kurogane confirmed. “But …”

Fai turned to him and quirked an eyebrow, a smile resting on his face. “But …?”

Kurogane moved so suddenly Fai barely had time to react. Before he knew it, he was pressed up against a wall and Kurogane was kissing him, demanding to be met with equal force. He responded diligently and not without delight, but soon pulled away.

“I can be warm, if you’ll let me,” Kurogane growled quietly.

“I always knew Kuro-chan was just a softie on the inside,” Fai’s voice was light. “But didn’t you just say, Kuro-wan, that I would be destroyed if I was near anything or anyone warm?”

“I believe,” Kurogane paused to kiss Fai a bit more. “I believe that you won’t be whole again until you fall apart and face your past, and stop running once and for all.”

Fai stayed, but a real smile crept onto his face and his hand slipped into Kurogane’s as they resumed walking again. “Will you help me then, Kuro-daddy?”

“I will.” There was a feeling of contentment in the air, now that everything had been said and cleared.

Fai gripped the other man’s hand tighter and giggled. “Kuro-chan, your hands are freezing! You really should get some gloves, and then we’ll talk about saving me or whatever.”
