It was nice being in the familiar setting, and Boo seemed to have calmed down if only slightly. Which was very, very, good indeed. No it didn't bother Fye at all, but he had to wonder how this would affect Fay. After all, the other was slowly starting to open up again, but if Fye prodded he would hide in that shell again. It was so frustrating and it worried him. He would never know when Fay was in trouble. And now he felt lonely. The kind of lonely not even Kurogane could help him with, because he was so used to having someone there to talk to, someone he cared for so deeply. There was nothing now. Nothing but him.

Hearing that Kurogane had fallen had instantly made him worried, but he tried to cover it up best he could. After all, Kurogane had responded just fine and though a little dizzy seemed alright. Fye didn't want to come off as too clingy, which could probably be why he hid in the first place, but he also had some trouble expressing certain emotions. He had been for a long time. He couldn't help but flush a little as he thought about how easily Kurogane pierced him, figuring him out and knowing exactly what he was trying to hide. That was as good as it was troubling.

The laughing at his plight was very real though.

When the door opened Fye rushed to the person he knew it was, equipped with a bag of ice and tender affection that he never thought for an instant he would possess. "You didn't hit your head right? You're vision isn't blurry? You're not bleeding?" Fye asked as soon as he ran into Kurogane and his aura. He handed him the ice, a troubled expression on his face. Again, this expression was a little difficult for him, so his worry was starting to sound a little bit more like panic.

[steelninja]

Kurogane stopped once he saw Fye had ice already for him. He had the usual mix of fondness and annoyance when someone he cared for fussed over him."No, just a sore side." From the recording and what he remembered he tried grabbing onto a chair, that probably help things. It was irritating that he turned on the communicator without knowing it though. He'd have to make sure to check that he didn't do that again.

He took the ice and looked over the other's slightly panicked state. It was odd seeing that on the other. Kurogane knew that the other thought him falling was amusing, but the words Fye used beyond laughing made him prod a little. It hadn't been too hard to get that embarrassed inflection into the cat's voice. He felt he should help push some more of the other's worry away. Going on seasons, he gave the cat his guess as how much he had remembered. A two year jump was not bad at all. "Almost four years back now," he reached up and brushed some of Fye's bangs to the side gently. Realizing what he was doing, Kurogane glanced away and dropped his hand, slightly embarrassed.

[okinyanko]

Fye relaxed noticeably when the other told him no. He wasn't one to fuss to much, and if he knew there was no blood and no head shots or nothing fractured then Kurogane was alright. After all, it was no stranger to him that Kurogane was a tough man, he was too. This gave way to relief and a slight giggle. "So you did just trip then."

The four years comment made all that relief and amusement fade into a slight excitement. "Oh good! That's wonderful!! You only have two more years to go or so right? Great!!!" He purred loudly, letting his emotions take over which he never would have done if they weren't so light. He was so happy for Kurogane that it made his own soul feel like it was floating.

He was about to tease him, feeling high on Kurogane so to speak, but it died in his throat when Kurogane's fingers were suddenly brushing along his face. It was so warm and comforting that it brought a slight sigh out of Fye. His eyebrows relaxed on his forehead and he smiled lightly. The touch was soft, gentle, and heart warming. His eyes opened part way when Kurogane's hand was pulled away, and the smile grew, affection leaking out of every inch of his face.

Of course, then he realized what he was doing. He couldn't help himself really. He dropped his face to where he knew the floor was and tried to clear his throat, wanting to flush away the awkward. Unfortunately the blush on his face was looking pretty permanent. "Ah... anything you want to talk about...?"

[steelninja]

Annoyance over took fondness. Kurogane neverjust tripped. Tch. He fell, sure. But there was always a reason. The huff Fye earned for poking at Kurogane's pride died before it had a chance when Fye started purring loudly. Only two years? It suddenly hit Kurogane just how much he had remembered in what? Two months? He thought again, but he was still aware of two more Summers then he had been before. Odd how fast those two years went. Guess that's what happened when it was all dull work and walking.

His eyes softened before he could stop them, "Right." Fye looked relax and content that Kurogane felt bad for taking his hand away now. He felt that steadily becoming familiar feeling of joy run through him. Every thing he found to make Fye smile left Kurogane with an even bigger desire to find more ways to get more of those looks from the cat. The warmth that brought to his heart made Kurogane forget about his own awkward feelings for the moment.

"Hn, you settled in alright?" Kurogane let his hand brush against Fye to get him to move with him. He was still a little shaky from regaining years and the couch was needed before he started swaying or something. Bringing the ice up to the welt forming on his upper arm, Kurogane made his way to sit down.

[okinyanko]

What the hell? No answer? Fye wondered if that was a good thing or a bad thing. And his thoughts clearly showed on his face, just momentarily though. Kurogane didn't need to do much to convince Fye to follow him to the couch. After all, he didn't think he would want to be anywhere else at the moment. "Yeah. It's all very automatic for me." After all, he had lived here before.

An almost automatically Fye found himself maneuvering himself to be lightly resting against Kurogane, being careful of his shoulder only because he sensed a slightly weakened spot of his aura there. "You didn't answer my question," he pointed out once he was settled.

[steelninja]

Kurogane shifted so Fye could sit close and not come in contact with the ice. Holding the ice in the injured arms hand and letting it rest on the couches back behind Fye, he was able to bend his elbow to reach the injury. He shivered lightly as he adjusted to the cold and listened to Fye. Ah, guess the other would have done settling in here before.

He blinked and frowned slightly, "Oh." Kurogane rubbed his forehead with his free hand for a moment. Guess that got lost somewhere. "Can't really think of anything..." He started to ask if there was anything Fye wanted to talk about when he remembered a question he had. One of the objects he had moved from upstairs had looked familiar. "Where's the shakuhachi from?"

[okinyanko]

That was good. At least nothing else would hurt him in his memories. It squeezed and tore at his own heart to think about Kurogane having to remember more painful events of his past. Of course then Kurogane effectively distracted him with a question that made him blink. "You mean the flute? Tomoyo gave it to me for Christmas." Fye smiled softly at the thought of that. "It was very kind of her."

[steelninja]

His hand dropped from his forehead to the couch arm. He was happy to hear that Tomoyo gave decent presents to other people at least. "Can you play it?" It wasn't a given that the cat would know how to play the instrument if it was a gift. And like most of Tomoyo's actions, this made Kurogane suspicious. Her choice of the one instrument he could play a song on... Or maybe he was just being overly paranoid and the cat could play it already?

[okinyanko]

"I haven't tried," Fye mumbled a little shyly. He loved music, and it was no mystery, since after mentioning Tomoyo had given it to him his whole expression brightened and something seemed to become a bit lighter about him. He had never tried to play though, since he had been busy, and now Kurogane was asking him if he could. Fye could only hope that Kurogane didn't ask him to try for him. After all, what if he made a fool of himself?

[steelninja]

"Ah," sounding unamused. Now he was very suspicious of her choice. Though for Fye he found that he didn't mind much. "I can show you if you ever wanted to." Been a few years, and he only knew and remembered maybe three songs, but that should be enough to show the cat how it was played. Kurogane wasn't much for performing anything in front of anyone though, so he wasn't sure how that would work out.

[okinyanko]

Fye blinked up at him with surprise before smiling warmly. "Like you could play with an injured limb~" He decided to tease. Though, the idea did sound very interesting to him.

[steelninja]

Kurogane rolled his eyes, and muttered, "Just a bump." A bump that was truthfully along his whole side, but mostly it was his shoulder. "And it doesn't have to be now... Can be part of your Japanese lessons if you like?" Kurogane looked back at Fye out of the corner of his eye.

[okinyanko]

"Sounds like a plan~" Fye replied easily, comfortably resting on Kurogane's side and enjoying the warmth he gave off.

[steelninja]

The first contact from the other made his side protest, but the warmth from the cat started to quiet it down. Kurogane smiled, relaxing into the couch and the other. "Good," his head automatically turned so he could smell the other's hair.

[okinyanko]

This was nice. His ear flickered gently at Kurogane's soft movement toward him, and with a sudden urge he turned his head a little so he could place his forehead against Kurogane's chin. And he took a deep breath of what could only be Kurogane before releasing it like a deep sigh and allowing himself to relax completely. "Kurogane... why do you let me do this?" He asked him softly after a short moment. "Why do you let me get so close and make a fool of you?"

((OOC: Sorry if that makes no sense... I have a terrible migraine and the meds haven't kicked in yet... It's from researching all day *is a big ol dork*))

[steelninja]

His eyes shut as Fye's forehead hit his chin, not at all awkward like it had been with Fay. Kurogane's looked at the top of the cats head, the corner of his mouth flickering down at the question. "I don't know. Teasing is always annoying, but I guess I put up with it better when it's from someone I like and want close." He flushed slightly at how much more it was from just 'liking' Fye. "And if you make a fool of someone it doesn't mean they have to stay a fool for long." Kurogane let the ice just rest on his shoulder and dropped his hand so his arm curled around the cat.
