Summary: Kurogane had to at least maintain a little bit of his parent's pride…
“Oh no! Daddy’s mad!” the mage teased, jumping to a side to dodge an item flung by Kurogane.
The ninja groaned - how many worlds had it been since the annoying blond started that joke?! He knew time passed differently in each world but he wondered how long it was: years, months, weeks, days - maybe even a few hours? In his time it had been about seven months. Kurogane wasn’t a patient person and by now he was more than fed up.
“Daddy…? Daddy, are you angry? You’re making your angry face…”
Kurogane clenched his fists. His knuckles were beginning to whiten out in tension. “Yes, damn it!” he roared, “I’m pissed!”
Fai giggled momentarily at his triumph. “Must be difficult being a single parent, ne, Kuro-Daddy?”
Kurogane glared. If things were his way, the mage would have been melting under his super-ninja-death-glare by now. Many thoughts ran through his head how to respond to the idiot’s taunt. He settled for one, regaining composure and smirked inwardly. “Nn. Whoever said I was a single parent?”
~O~
“Daddy needs to take charge,” Fai whispered, serious, as he set a hand on Kurogane’s shoulder. In response, the ninja looked up from his comfortably-seated, happily-reading maganyan position with an eyebrow poked up. “Your daughter needs a talk.”
Scarlet eyes widened at the sudden remark. He wouldn’t own up to it, but he thought that maybe even a little blush might have filled his cheeks. “A…talk…?”
“A talk,” the magician echoed.
“Why me?!” A shiver ran up Kurogane’s spine. Somehow the air had become very cold, abnormal, and tense. He shifted in his seat uncomfortably, gripping the armrests. “I-I wait, the princess?! But…th-that’d be so…weird! I can’t-”
Fai flashed an all-knowing, amused, grin. Kurogane mentally kicked himself for stuttering in front of the damned blond. “Mommy already had a talk with your son. It’s only fair that Daddy keep clear communications with his daughter as well.”
“But she’s a…girl…and-”
Fai flashed Kurogane a look that would have silenced even homicidal serial-killers.
The ninja gulped, his crimson eyes begging for salvation, thinning his lips uncomfortably. “What… What if she’s not…ready…?” he choked out with a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
“She will be,” the magician replied without hesitation. He smiled firmly. “Don’t stress. Just be calm, okay, Kuro-Bon?” Fai leaned over to place a wet kiss on the ninja’s temple with a smile. Gentle fingers stroked raven strands before patting a tanned cheek. He pointed toward the brunette’s room.
Kurogane sat there uncomfortably, fidgeting his hands. He blinked at the mage as if asking for a, ‘get out of jail free,’ card. Fai smiled sharply once more and the ninja pouted, rising to his feet with a groan. Never in his life did he think he’d have, ‘a talk,’ with a girl. This was something he wouldn’t even do for Tomoyo!
He stopped in front of the girl’s room and took one final glance at the blond man, making himself comfortable, home-like fashion in Kurogane’s now vacant, warm spot. Cerulean eyes glittered with a nodding smile so the ninja, completely against his will, knocked on Sakura’s door.
Dribbles of cold sweat ran down his nape. After a thumping sound similar to a blunt object slammed on the floor rang, the girl opened the door. A thick blush crossed he face as she creaked the door open, one emerald eye staring at him. ‘Oh, Kurogane-San… Please, umm…come in.”
The man nodded, stomping into the room. He sat on her bed abruptly and fixated his eyes on the girl. Although it was somewhat difficult, he tried no to look around her room too much for sake of being rude. He noticed a picture of the kid mounted atop her drawer and decided he had seen too much already.
“Do you know why I’m here?”
Sakura nodded head furiously, chocolate locks bouncing up and down, with a flustered blush. “I…I think so. It’s one of those talks, right?” She twirled a finger around a strand of hair in an unsure manner.
Kurogane scoffed and shrugged. “Ah…so…umm, well…sex. Sex is…enjoyable. It will hurt this first time - for you, I mean. Not the kid, the kid’ll-”
“Umm…Kurogane-San?” Sakura interrupted, pointing her fingertips together. She bit her bottom lip “Fai-San had that talk with me and Syaoran-Kun a long time ago,” confused with a blush.
Kurogane poked an eyebrow up. “Then why the Hell’m I here?”
Sakura gulped and averted her gaze. “P-Pregnancy. Fai-San said if Syaoran-Kun and I had…unprotected…” She paused, her face changing from pink to flushed red in one second flat. She stammered, looking up at the ceiling as if asking God for redemption. “Babies.”
Crimson eyes widened as if they’d bulge out. His expression altered into a contorted smirk of sorts as if he’d faint then and there. He averted he gaze as he cleared his throat to regain composure. Crossing his arms and folding a leg on top of another he tried to think of happy thoughts. Like Fai. Covered in chocolate.
He slapped himself, realizing that mental image was really not helping at the current moment.
“Sex,” he started, “can result in…um, y-you having a…baby.”
Sakura nodded somberly. “Fai-San had this talk with Syaoran-Kun but…” Her face flushed up. “He said it was too…graphic…just a little too much for him. I thought, I mean, ‘just figured you’d have the same knowledge but…”
Kurogane gulped at the innocent emerald eyes glancing up to him like a devoted student. Truth be told, he had no idea. He neither knew nor was prepared to explain pregnancy. He only knew one way to go about with this:
“Have you two had unprotected sex?”
Sakura blushed, hiding her eyes with her bangs that reminded the ninja of Fai. She weakly raised her hand, holding up her index finger.
Kuroagne didn’t move, in fact, he was smiling as if he’d be able to just waltz out of the door seeing as if they hadn’t had unprotected sex the princess wouldn’t need a talk about it. “…Eh?”
“O-Once,” she confessed in a stammer, blushing furiously.
Kurogane blinked. It looked like he might actually pass out this time.
“Wh-When?!”
“…Last week.”
Kurogane blinked again, unbelieving. The kid and the princess had…actually… They… They… They had… This was getting to be a little much for Kurogane’s poor brain, undeveloped in ways of het.
“Since when?”
“One year ago,” she replied immediately, a little more confident this time but from what seemed fear more than anything else,
“L-Last…year,” he whispered to himself. Since last year?! How? They were so quiet - and he’d never noticed the kid walking to the girl’s room or vice-versa! Well, the quiet part was probably because he was too busy making Fai scream, but that still did not explain how the kid got condoms without him knowing or…or any other signs of any physical contact for that matter!
“Am… Am I going to have a baby?” she asked, eyes wide and trembling.
“You might.” She tensed up under Kurogane’s reply. “But you might not.” She sighed relief. Kurogane had the slight suspicion that the princess was not ready for something like a child. “If you start throwing up or experience mood swings tell the magician. You could also get temperature-flashes of extreme chills or fevers. A-And, if you don’t get your…m-m-…your m-…monthlies, then you really gotta tell someone.” Sakura nodded intently. The ninja sighed and gulped, trying to relax just a tidbit if that. “…I…really don’t know what else to tell you…” he confessed, scratching his head.
“Okay…it just happened once and we were concerned,” the girl explained. Kurogane nodded. “Do…you and Fai-San have to use protection?”
“…Not always.” He hadn’t really been hiding his relationship with the blond but it wasn’t something he’d talk about freely, either. It felt awkward talking about his sex life - with a man, at that - even if the subject was just brought up. Sakura must have felt just as uneasy about it as well but she had done well. She at least deserved the courtesy returned.
“You and Fai-San haven’t had a baby yet, though. You can’t babies?”
Innocent eyes blinked at him and Kurogane felt like hurling. Or cutting himself to pieces with his own sword. Either would have been good options in his current situation. “Men can’t have babies, can they?” he growled, rhetorically.
“…No…?” she answered, unsure and confused. Kurogane groaned. A princess’ last strip of innocence and he was going to be the one responsible for ripping it out.
“Only women can…bear children,” he explained through a thick blush. Sakura blinked. Kurogane gulped, throwing his pride away. “When…the kid climaxes, his sperm will mix with one of your eggs. And umm, it takes ninja months. Your body will supply for both you and the baby so you might feel weak.” At least, that’s what he’d gathered from pure eavesdropping and speculation.
Sakura nodded intently. “It doesn’t bother you?”
Kurogane glanced up from his hands. “Huh?”
“Not being able to have babies with Fai-San. It doesn’t bother you?”
Kurogane exhaled and glanced to the side, finding favor in the floor. Suddenly it became really difficult just to breathe. “That…idiot wouldn’t want to have kids with me anyways,” he murmured. A pain constricted in his chest as he tried to convince himself that it was alright even though it wasn’t. Heirs were an important factor in Nihon and taking into serious account as to what they’d look and act like when debating over marriage. By now he was sure his parents were rolling over in their graves; as if having a man for a lover wasn’t bad enough.
“…Thank you, Kurogane-San,” Sakura chimed with a smile. Kurogane glanced up in a confused manner. “For the, um, talk.”
“Aa,” Kurogane said, taking the gratitude as a signal to leave before she asked any more extremely embarrassing questions that made him think about things he didn’t want to think about. He took the offer and darted out the door.
Fai wasn’t in the reclining seat anymore which came as no surprise so he headed to the room they’d been sharing.
“Back so soon?” Fai teased, welcoming the ninja into the room and into a warm bed. Kurogane grunted, slinking into Fai’s arms like a child. “How was it?” Kurogane grunted again and Fai laughed.
Fai began stroking Kurogane’s back but other than that there was no movement in the room. They stayed in that silent comfort for what seemed like forever.
“I don’t mind,” Kurogane muffled into the thin silence.
Fai grinned, pinning the ninja underneath him. “What’d you say, Kuro-Honey? Are you talking about kids? We’re newlyweds! How could you be so naughty - wanting to knock up Mommy already, are we?”
Kurogane snorted with a blush. He rolled over to the side, facing the wall, and tried blocking out Fai’s giggles. The blond collapsed, snuggling into the larger man’s broad shoulder blades. The mage inhaled his lover’s cinnamon scent, sighing.
“I like the name Tsubame for a girl,” Fai stated, breaking the silence.
An abnormal silence lingered before Kurogane smirked.
“Mommy’s barren but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun trying,” he hissed seductively, pinning the lithe body beneath him.
~O~
Kurogane woke up extra early that morning. Thoughts filled his head unyielding him to tranquility. After two hours of these unrelenting thoughts, he finally felt the mage awaken soundlessly. His thoughts calmed down but there was still silence. Fai shifted, finally, placing a hand on Kurogane’s chest. The ninja sighed.
Kurogane pulled the covers, stealing them from Fai. The blond man squeaked as the ninja rolled over uncaringly, teasing. Fai decided to save his energy seeing as how it was a hopeless fight to try and steal covers from a grumpy ninja and plopped himself over the man for warmth.
Kurogane rolled over and supported Fai on his stomach, the willowy shadow looming over him elegantly. “You’re God-damn gorgeous,” he whispered as his thumb strummed over a soft cheek.
With an embarrassed chuckle, Fai averted his gaze to the right, blushing. Kurogane propped himself on his elbows to place a lingering kiss on Fai’s cheek. The blond smiled and allowed himself the luxury of collapsing to the side of a warm body, a sigh of comfort escaping him. Kurogane leaned down, resting on the lithe body beneath him.
“Does it really bother you that much, Kurogane?” Fai asked, serious and sharp.
“Shut up. I can't help thinking about it,” the ninja groaned, blushing. “It’s alright.” His next thought in line was how he didn’t like how Fai called him by his full name in this certain context.
Fai pursed his lips together firmly as they thinned out. “…I’m sorry. It’s been awhile since we talked about this. Sorta awkward.”
“I told you it doesn’t matter,” the brunet hoarsely whispered, glaring down at Fai.
“Liar,” a rigid voice hissed.
“You’re the last person I wanna hear that from.” The ninja rolled off, slipping out of the bed frustrated. He felt fingertips brush against his inner thigh. Kurogane stopped with a deep huff and glanced over his shoulder.
“It’s only natural to want a family…you made, right? It’s not wrong for me to actually be with you knowing that, is it? I mean, it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just… I can’t. Because birds and bees weren’t made that way and…” Fai fists trembled lightly over his hunched figure, legs tucked under his thighs. He bit his lower lip unsure. Right now Fai was naked both physically and emotionally.
Kurogane sighed. He had this beautiful man in love with him and Fai was ashamed for the fact he couldn’t have kids.
“Look here,” the ninja commanded. Fai’s eyes were covered by his thick bangs so Kurogane lifted Fai’s chin up. “I didn’t fall in love with you because you had breasts or because you had a vagina, alright already? You’re a man; you have a penis, so what? I have one, too. And…” Kruogane paused, licking his bottom lip with clenched eyes and sacrificing his pride, “And it’s not like you’ve never been on top so stop moping. I don’t get moody in the mornings, spoiling a perfectly fine morning about how I can’t give you kids, right?”
Fai blinked. He looked up on his own accord and smiled. “It’d be too weird calling you Kuro-Mommy!”
“That’s not the point!” Kurogane roared, karate-chopping the center-most spot on Fai’s messy mop of blond locks. The mage blushed a smile, shrugging his shoulders in defeat. Kurogane gave up, seeing as how the blond would probably go on about teasing him for the rest of the day. He turned to take a shower.
“…Kuro-Chan, would you love me more if I was a woman?”
Scarlet eyes glanced at the naked man in his bed. “If you were a woman I don’t think I could talk to you five seconds before gagging. You act like you’re PMS-y enough as is, God knows what would happen if you actually were.”
Fai’s eyes widened in surprise, blinking afterwards. “Kuro-Pin’s not in the closet!” he wailed dramatically, “he’s just shy!”
“Shut up!” Kurogane roared, throwing the nearest object at the man. He scowled and closed the door, slipping into the warm water. He felt relief sweep over as he settled into a napping comfort.
A cool body slipped into the water, sitting atop Kurogane’s stomach.
“I thought I got rid of you. Shouldn’t you be somewhere having a nosebleed right about now?”
Fai chuckled sharply, cupping Kurogane’s chin and tilting it upwards. “I can’t give you kids but I can give you amazing sex.”
Afterthoughts: ~And cut. Hmm. Just because I'm feeling extra generous, here's a request:
CLICK. I would've put it in the same post but I need to post this to a challenge comm and I don't think I can post two different comm challenges in one post... (>.>)
