RP thread: to his Fai

[kuro_pii]

Kurogane carries Fai all the way home, all the way inside and onto the bed. He thinks Fai should lay down. He kicks off his shoes and lays down with him. His Fai. He swallows, hard, and wraps his arms around Fai. This Fai is going to be fine. He knows it. He can't weaken himself by doubting it

Fay is silent as Kurogane carries him; he can feel his husband's emotional turmoil, and he doesn't know what to say, if there's anything he can say that might help. Besides, this situation leaves him far from emotionally grounded himself. It's not seeing his other self that's affected him so badly. He might have dealt with that.

It's not even the state the other had been in. It's what he'd said had happened, to make him that was. And that, that all by itself, makes Fay feel like he's been punched hard in the chest. Pained and unable to breathe quite right.

He half-feels Kurogane laying him down, and wraps around him wordlessly not sure whether he's giving or taking comfort.

"It's okay, Fai." He kisses him softly. "Fai. My husband. I love you so much." Which made seeing that other Fai even more painful. That other Fai who wasn't -

Who was jealous.

Whose Kurogane hadn't said anything.

Who wasn't being comforted.

It stings. He clutches Fai close to him and showers him in kisses.

Fay kisses back, leaning into Kurogane as much as he can. He loses himself in this for a while, allowing himself not to think, though he still feels a sharp ache even so. He reaches up to touch Kurogane's cheek after one of the kisses.

"I worry for him too," he says quietly, as if reading Kurogane's mind... more likely reading it in his face, his actions. "But there's... there's not much we can do."

Kurogane sighs. "I know. That made hearing what happened worse." He wants to solve it. He can't see Fai, any Fai, hurting like that and not hurt.
