dear_mun | Homeless and possibly rusty.

[All your secrets are belong to him now. He knows he'll practically have drag the mask off but will leave it just for a while.]

I never asked to travel with a group of kids. All I wanted was to get home.

[Again. Lies.

Too bad because you asked.] I know a lot more than how long we've been together, Yuui.

[Nope, sorry. All of his secrets belong to him. That mask will only lower when he decides it's going to.]

Such dedication~ Such loyalty~ No wonder you make such a good daddy, Kuro-poo~

[He's good at them, remember?

Oh. You did not just call him by his actual name. His eyes flash with recognition for a brief moment, one that takes far longer to recover from than he'd like.]

It's not polite to use someone's real name unless they've given you permission, Kurogane. Where have your manners gone?

[With all of Fai's past under his belt, Kuro doesn't need the mask to come down to really see through it.]

Hn. [The closest Fai will ever get in agreement.

He did and no remorse about it either. All he wanted was for Fai to acknowledge the truth.]

You were being difficult. [Daddy's just trying to warn him that Fai could show up, not that it would do much good in the world.] What makes you think I ever had any manners to begin with?

[It's mostly in place for his comfort at this point anyway.]

See? That wasn't so hard. [The point is that he got to agree at all.

There, he acknowledged it. He hopes you're happy.]

Oh~? But I thought you liked it, Kuro-cutie. [He'll deal with his brother showing up when it happens. There are worse things than seeing someone alive and breathing when all you've had of them is their body for hundreds of years.] And here I thought we had made such progress. All of that time, wasted.

[You know how daddy likes to dig at things.]

I still wish we could do it without the damn manjuu. [Even though Kurogane would protect the thing.

He is.]

You're the one who likes it so much. [Don't be surprised if mun's version pops up over the next few days as she re-reads the series. And he knows all about that. Kurogane grew attached to the kid and then he went and died right alongside Yuui. He pulls out a bottle of sake and two cups, pouring them both a drink.] Guess you'll just have to start over. Seems like you'll get the chance.

[Well mommy would appreciate it if you'd knock it the fuck off.]

Aw, is someone still having a hard time getting used to Mokona? Don't worry, I'll help you, Kuro-wan. [By shoving him in your face as much as humanly possible.

Good. At least one of them is.]

Are you telling me you don't enjoy it at all? [Poooouting. Why you so mean, Kurogane? That's a bridge he'll cross when and if he comes to it. He really doesn't see why you're so worried, Kurogane. It's not like you'll be there to hold his hand.] Oh~? You don't have to sound so happy about it~

[No, screw you. He'll do it as much as he wants.

Twiiiiitch.] Don't even think about it. [Not sure what Fai will do but it won't be good.

Neither of them will happy when they really get together.]

Not in the least. [Because he just is.] If you knew my real name you'd just find a way to make fun of that too by making up all of these stupid nicknames. [WARNING: Kuro-woofs tend to arrive angry. This is merely DM.] I'm not! What good will it do to be stuck in some world like that one?

[Oh~? Then you won't mind him calling you by those annoying nicknames as much as he wants.

Ooooohhh, he got another twitch. This just keeps getting better and better?] Aawww, why not, Kuro-cutie? [Stop being stubborn and let him love you. :|

But unlike you, he knows how to hide his unhappiness.] You really know to make a guy feel special, Kuro-poo. [Don't worry. He knows exactly how to deal with a big angry dog.] Your children and wife miss you and you'll me taking away our loneliness~

[Of course he minds, that's what makes it fun for you.

Where's his damn sword?] Because you're idea of helping just causes more trouble for me. [Never. You like him this way. :\

Unlike you, he doesn't have like to hide his unhappiness.] Why the hell would I care about making a guy feel special? [TWIIIIIIIIITCH. Just break out whatever alcohol can be found.] Tch, you're not my wife and they aren't my kids.

[Oh look, you've found him out.

With Mokona. Safely away from him.] Careful, Kuro-chan, or else you're going to hurt my feelings. [Says who? :|

Unlike you, he does it so those around him won't have to suffer too. Oooohhhh, another twitch! And it was a big one too. This one is totally going down in his favor.] So are just going to abandon us? What am I going to tell them when they get older and ask me where their daddy went? Do you reeeaaaaaally want to be remembered as a dead beat dad?

[He's know that for a while now.

Kurogane's going to convince his mun to take him from when he has his sword in hand, at the very least.] Tch, like that would stop you. [Me.

No, you just keep important things until the bad shit goes down. He growls.] I'm not their damn father and you aren't their mother!

[You're so smart, Kuro-wan.

And he's going to convince his to let him have found a staff before that happens.] Then why try to avoid, hm~? [Your opinion doesn't count. :|

Of course. Because it's obviously so much easier if you find out on your own instead of having him tell you. Didn't you ever consider that?

... You might have actually have hurt his feelings with that one, Kurogane.] They look up to you as they would a father. Is it really so bad for them to find comfort in the familiarity of that?

[All it needs is a little perception.

Sword trumps staff unless Fai's going to add magic.] Because I'm not giving in. [T_T

Who said he ever wanted easy? Don't make decisions like that for the whole group, mage.

Well shit.] We aren't their parents, we're their guardians. I've got no problem being that for them but people can't just take the place of a parent no matter what happens.

[Is that what you call it?

You've obviously forgotten just how skilled he is, Kurogane. Maybe you need a refresher course.] Who said anything about giving in~?

[He made the decision for himself. Sorry that it effects you so negatively. :|

You seem to be really good at that.] There's no harm in playing pretend, Kuro-sama. It's only for a little while, after all.

[Yes. Calling you out on it is another thing entirely.

No, he hasn't. There's no need for that.] So you want me to keep poking at your mask, mage?

[There are other things that didn't need to be kept from him, like the kids being clones.

It's a natural ability.] Just what good do you expect to come of it do in the end? [Syaoran's clone has already turned against them and Sakura's gone. At least that's how it is for him.]

[Which brings us back to the original idea of you needing to knock it the fuck off.

Then you'll know he's fully capable of holding his own against.] I don't know what you're talking about, Kuro-poo.

[It wouldn't have changed anything but the way you viewed them both. And what could would that have done.

... He feels the need to reiterate that you really need to stop doing that.] They're a long way from home, Kuro-chan. Given them something familiar to hold on to is comforting. [He's not quite there yet. Therefore, he'll continue to protect them both with everything he has.]

[The response to that is still the same.

Of course he knows, doesn't mean the fight wouldn't be a good one to work all that agitation.] If you don't drop it people will never truly know you.

[Well, at least not people who can't see through it anyway. He wouldn't have felt so hurt when Syaoran turned on them, because he did.

=P No.] We're all a long way from home and both of them had already lost their parents before coming. If anything we should have been like siblings. [Kuro will tell Fai all about it if he comes with the knowledge, and while he'll fight it doesn't mean he'll die like you would.]

[You really need to work on being more original.

Good luck in actually getting him to fight you, Kurogane.] I told you, I don't want people to suffer because of their affiliation with me. [So why don't you get over it so everyone can move on?

Yeah? And how do you think he felt? He lost his eye trying to save him, even if he knew it was probably going to be a useless attempt.

... What is he going to do with you?] You need to stop over thinking things so much, Kuro-rin. Before you hurt yourself. [... He's still going to be in mama bear mode for a long time to come, Kurogane. No matter what you tell him.]

[All he can be is himself.

Don't make him try.] Shouldn't that be their choice? [Kurogane would still stay no matter what.

Because you couldn't hurt the kid.

Feed him something that requires silverware or fetch him his manga, wifey. That'll get him to stop talking for a while.] We wouldn't be having this conversation if you hadn't put the idea in their heads. And I'll hurt you first. [Or at least try. He may almost miss the days when he chased Fai around.]

[... He wouldn't want to change you anyway.

But that's half the fun.] This way they never have to make one. [If he knew that, maybe he'd be a little more willing to open up.

No. He couldn't hurt Syaoran. The clone of the real thing. He cares about him far too much.

Now, now, you just said he wasn't your wifey. If you want him to act the part, you're going to have to treat him like it.] Would you like me to apologize, Kuro-sama? Even if I'm not sorry? [He likes being a parent and having someone to take care of, okay.

Well. That last part was totally unnecessary.] Perhaps I should start calling you Kuro-meanie, since you seem so intent on hurting my feelings~ [No really, Kurogane, you've already got that part on lock, no need to try at it anymore.]

[Good because it's not happening.

It's great exercise at least.] That shouldn't be up to you. [He hates it when choices are taken away from him.

Kurogane might not be able to kill either of them but he wouldn't risk his own life either.

Why can't he have it both ways?] You know I hate it when you fake it. [Did you have to drag him into it then?

Don't make him swat you, mage.] Tch. You act like it's the first time I've threatened to hit you. [Not pouting.]

[You say that like he needs it.] You know~ It's really getting quite tiresome hearing you harp on the same things over and over, Kurgy. [Dealwithit.gif

Just because you value his life more than he does doesn't mean he's going to change the way he is either.

Because that's not how it works. He's either your wifey, or he's free to go find someone else who can appreciate his many attributes.] Getting a bit personal now, aren't Kuro-wan? [SMIIIIIRK. You were there, the kids needed a daddy, he liked you. So... yes, yes he did.

Go ahead and try it. He'll just duck and watch as you fall on your face~] Oh, is that what you meant? I seem to have misunderstood. I do hope you'll forgive me, Kuro-poo.

[You will if you eat too many sweets.] Hn. Tell me about the world then, mage. [He almost wants to walk away from this conversation again.

Which is exactly why Kurogane's put himself in charge of Fai's life.

Hmmm, let him think on that a while.] I hate you. [Except not really but he's not going to get into this with you. Just so you know, he hates the little white kid.

He will not fall on his face.] Do I get a free hit first?

[Why do you think he feeds them all to you?] What do you wish to know, Kuro-sama? There's really not much to tell. [He'll just follow you, you know.

Luckily for him that hasn't happened yet. So you can just consider yourself relieved of your duty.

Pretty act fast, Kuro-poo. He's not going to wait forever.] Aw, come on Kuro-cutie. You don't really mean that. [Well then~ Back to teasing it is. Oh, come on, how can you hate the baby of the family? You're terrible, really.

He totally will. Because Fai will hit head over the head as he prances away.] Where's the fun in that, hm?

[Because you like to see him riled up.] How can there not be much to tell? Is it a world full of nothing? [He knows.

Sorry but it doesn't work that way. Not for him.

He'll act whenever he wants. You've got the time.] No I really do. [Don't believe him. He's lying and not even trying to hide it. The manjuu is annoying.

Just because there's a hit doesn't mean it'll knock him over. Snerk.] It'll be fun for me.

Lots of lost time~
