Payment
Title: Payment
Pairing/Characters: Kurogane/Fay, Sakura, Yuuko (Characters by CLAMP)
Warnings: A little spoiler-ish for the Infinity arc
Notes: I've read several fics lately where Sakura fan-girls over Kurogane and Fay. They inspired this.
“You still wish it?”
“Yes. Very much.”
“Alright. The payment…”
“I have it.” Sakura glanced at the door, ensuring it was closed. She looked at Mokona sleeping in front of her, then up at Yuuko. “Should I just…”
Yuuko nodded. “Go ahead.”
Sakura took a deep breath. “It was after one of the fights. It wasn’t too bad. We were all…safe. Kurogane-san went to go clean up. He was the only one who’d been hurt enough to bleed.” The princess paused, sighed.
“He said he was fine. I was glad when Fay-san followed him.” She smiled a little. “He almost didn’t. But he wanted to. That’s why I…” she blushed. “…I went to the door after they went in. It was open. I don’t think they expected…well…Kurogane-san was bleeding. It was his mouth. I don’t know if it was actually his mouth, or his lip…but he was quite…bloody.” Sakura was staring at Mokona, but she was seeing something else entirely.
“Fay-san reached out and touched the blood. Then he brought his fingers to his mouth, and” she shivered a little “sucked on them. Kurogane-san just stood there. He didn’t move. But the look in his eyes…it…if someone looked at me that way, I’d be a little scared, but…happy.” Yuuko smiled before catching herself and wiping it off her face with a shake of her head. “After a few minutes- a few long minutes…” she sighed, “Fay-san moved closer to Kurogane-san. He leaned forward, and…he…Fay-san licked the blood off Kurogane-san’s lips. Just lightly, at first, but then…” A blush had crept into the princess’ cheeks. “His tongue slid into Kurogane-san’s mouth, and he pressed up against him and began to suck on his lip. Kurogane-san brought a hand up to touch Fay-san’s side…it ended up sliding up his back, under his shirt…” she twisted the fabric of her skirt in her hands.
“Fay-san arched his back, and his hips…they…into Kurogane-san’s…and you know…Fay-san is so pale, that…I…against his skin, Kurogane-san’s hand…it’s so tanned…and big…it covered so much of his back.” She tilted her head a little, smiled. “They both made this sound…as though they’d been waiting to touch forever.” She was quiet for a few moments, then the smile faded from her face.
“Fay-san pulled away a little bit. Kurogane-san touched Fay-san's cheek, brushing it with his thumb, then wiped the blood off Fay-san’s lips. He held his thumb against Fay-san’s mouth, and he…Fay-san…sucked the blood off. Then he pulled away, out of Kurogane-san’s arms. He smiled that smile that hurts. It hurts me, and to Kurogane-san, it…” she shook her head. “I think Kurogane-san feels that smile like a scream.” Her hands clenched into fists in her lap.
“Fay-san went into the other room. Kurogane-san…he just stood there, where he’d been standing the whole time.” Sakura looked up at Yuuko. Yuuko nodded.
“That’s plenty. Your wish is granted. If, when Fay’s curse takes effect, there is any chance of Kurogane letting Fay harm himself, it shall not come to pass.”
As Yuuko watched Watanuki stuff envelopes that night, she was glad, for once, that she was unable to tell people when their wishes were useless. There was never going to be a chance of Kurogane allowing harm to come to Fay. The princess didn’t have to know that, however, and her payment…Yuuko smiled. Her mailing list would be overjoyed. Between the ninja and wizard, and her own Doumeki and Watanuki, she’d had plenty of inspiration this month.
“What are these, anyway? Mangas? Short stories?” Watanuki held up one slim package.
“Why don’t you take a look?”
Watanuki took one look at her expression and continued stuffing the envelopes in silence.
Yuuko took a sip of wine and wondered if there was anyone in Clow who could keep an eye on the king and high priest for her.
