Note: One word.
Shounen-ai. I just love writing!! I love Kurama and Hiei, and since a virus got
in and ruined everything, might as well use my energy in writing. Eien ni
Kurama and Hiei!!
*^^*
I don’t need anything,
As long as you’re here
with me.
But if you leave me,
My soul will shatter,
And never be free from
your grasp
Forever.

Kurama sighed deeply as
he closed the book of poems he was reading and laid it on the desk. He gazed
out the window, his emerald orbs following the swaying of the tree branches
outside his window. Wind, flying shadow…Hiei.
He sighed. His thoughts
were always returning to Hiei lately. He didn’t know why, but it kinda’
bothered him. And he’d been a little conscious of his looks every time Hiei was
around too.
He shook his head. He
just needed to unwind a little. His mouth curved up in a smile, a plan coming
to his mind. He put on his coat and walked out of the house.
Seeing that there was no
one around this windy day, the fox ran towards the park. His scarlet tresses
whipping around his face as he ran. He reached the park and stopped running. He
didn’t know why, but he felt…happy, the feeling bubbling up in his chest.
Kurama spun around in
circles; he was filling a little giddy. He let his coat fall down on the grass
and he followed suit a moment later.
The kitsune stretched out
his arms in front of him, his long graceful fingers protecting his eyes from
the sunlight. He sighed happily; he didn’t know what was happening, he just
felt that he needed to do this, like it was meant to be.
“Hn. I didn’t know you
could act like one of those stupid ningen girls that always chase you.” A deep
voice cut into Kurama’s thoughts.
Kurama chuckled, even
though inside, his heart was thumping like crazy. He was so distracted that he
didn’t even feel Hiei’s ki. “I didn’t know either.” He replied. The koorime
jumped down from the tree he was standing on and walked towards the fox.
Kurama sat up on his
elbows as Hiei stopped a few feet away. Kurama smiled warmly at Hiei and the
youkai replied with a ‘Hn’.
After a moment of
silence, the koorime approached his side and dropped down on the grass. “So,
what brings you here, Hiei?” Kurama asked.
“Nothing.”
“I thought you were
training in the Makai with Mukuro?” One black eyebrow shot up. Did he just
detect a note of jealousy in the fox’s voice?
“She gave me some time
off.”
“Oh.”
Silence stretched between
them, each wrapped up in their own thoughts. Hiei sneaked a peek at Kurama. The
fox was staring up at the sky, a small smile on his lips. Hiei stared hungrily
at those lips. He wanted to kiss the fox so badly that…what the hell was he
thinking about? He never thought of the kitsune this way before. He forced
himself to look away and stare up at the sky.
Kurama couldn’t help but
feel happy that Hiei was here with him. He couldn’t decipher this feeling in
his chest whenever Hiei was around. It was the feeling of…happiness. Like,
everything was much more clearer, more beautiful. He never felt this way about
anyone before and he feared that it might be…love.
“Kurama”
“Yes, Hiei?”
“Face me.”
“Doushite?”
“Just do it.”
Kurama turned to face
Hiei and found himself staring at a pair of crimson orbs, burning with passion
and…longing? His eyebrows knitted together in confusion. “What is it, Hi-“ His
question was cut off as Hiei pressed his lips upon his.
Kurama had an instinct to
push Hiei away but he didn’t. He wanted-no-he needed this. Something burning
inside of him spread throughout his body, making his whole body warm. Hiei’s
lips moved eagerly against his and it made his body grow taut. Hiei’s hand
knotted in his hair and the other circled his waist.
Shimatta…what am I
doing? Hiei didn’t know why, but
his body just moved in its own accord and kissed the fox. Kurama would surely
be mad at him but the youko was responding to his kiss. Everything felt hazy,
like a dream, and it felt so right. So meant to be.
Kurama’s arms circled
Hiei’s neck and forced their bodies closer, their hearts beating to the same
rhythm, as one. Hiei was scared, what if Kurama gets mad? But if Kurama were
mad at him, would he be responding to his kiss?
Realization dawned on
Kurama, and he couldn’t bring himself to believe it. He…loved Hiei. With all
his heart, he never wanted this kiss to end. He wanted to be with this demon
for the rest of his life.
Both parted when they
needed air, and stared at each other, shock and happiness filling them at the
same time. “Hiei…” Kurama whispered at the same time Hiei whispered. “Kurama…”
“Hiei…why?”
Hiei broke away from the
embrace and stared at the grass at his feet. “I…don’t know…I just had the
feeling…that…I wanted to…kiss…you. Gomen. I’ll understand if you’re mad at me.
I can ju-“ Kurama clamped a hand over Hiei’s mouth. Hiei looked up into
Kurama’s eyes and saw mirth dancing in its green depths.
“Hiei, you’re babbling.”
He chuckled. He cupped Hiei’s cheek with one hand and forced the youkai to look
into his eyes. Hiei’s crimson eyes were unreadable. They conveyed no emotion.
“I’ve
unconsciously…wanted you for a long time, Hiei. I never knew. This is the first
time I ever felt this way about anyone.” Kurama spoke with courage.
“So…your not mad?”
“No.”
Hiei tried to break away
from Kurama, but the fox enveloped him in his arms. The kitsune nuzzled Hiei’s
spiky hair and breathed in their pine scent. “Arigato for opening my eyes…Itooshi…”
Relief and happiness filled the fire demon at the same time and he buried
himself further into the embrace.
Ai shitteru…
