Kurogane stomped his way into the tent and paused, surprised at seeing Fai already there, sitting on his cot and fiddling with something. The blond's head snapped up at the rustle of the tent flap, and he plastered that wide, fake smile across his face. "Ne, Kuro-chuu~!"
Kurogane scowled, eying him. That damn smile was a bit too wide. "Are you alright?"
Fai's grin brightened a couple notches. After six weeks in the army camp, he was beginning to catch on to a little basic Japanese, though usually he only used it with Kurogane. With the rest of the camp, it was more beneficial to play the brainless lunatic. Kurogane just wished he'd stop being a brainless lunatic. "Fine~! Kuro-myu, worried?"
Kurogane frowned, still eying him. That answer had been a bit too chipper, even for the damn blond. He stepped closer, unconsciously looming, and was gratified to see that smile flicker a bit and Fai lean back away from him. Though maybe that was just so he could tip his head back and keep looking up at Kurogane without killing his neck.
Kurogane scowled. Goddamnit, it was weird seeing Fai with dark eyes!
Fai smiled again, more blandly this time, meeting Kurogane's gaze easily. "Wrong, Kuro-pin?"
Damn him. Kurogane had never met anyone in his life who could lie so easily while meeting someone's gaze, or look so damn cool while doing it. Kurogane wasn't used to liars. Career liars were politicians, and they were for other politicians to handle. His job was just to enforce whatever decision the politicians came up with. It was easy. Swords and blood, they were honest.
Not like this goddamn smile.
Kurogane wondered, absently, if Fai had been a politician in his home world, and was running because someone like Kurogane was ready to kill him out of sheer frustration.
He growled, reaching down to put a hand heavily on Fai's shoulder. "Listen you!" He was gratified to see a flicker of surprise pass across Fai's face. "If something happened, just tell me so I can take care of it." His voice was nearly a growl, and Fai stared at him, trying to puzzle through the strange words and alien language.
Slowly he reached up, like he was afraid Kurogane might bite him, and pushed the ninja's hand off his shoulder. The smile was in place again, though it was rather chillier this time. "...I not know words, Kuro-puu."
Giving a strangled growl of frustration, Kurogane turned and stomped out of the tent before he throttled the blond, ignoring the falsely cheerful calls that followed him out.
