Like the first chapter? Good (assuming your answer is yes that is). Now Chapter 2! I actually didn't plan these to be chapters but I just kept writing and writing and writing and...it got too long to be a oneshot anymore. So a Two-Shot!

I've got to admit. My real problem is I never know how to end a fic...so I just write more unnecessary plot until I come up with a good ending. This part I'm actually pretty proud of ^^


At 11 all the girls went home. Sakura gave Syaoran a shy peck on the cheek as a thanks for the present and party. Himawari waved goodbye to Watanuki and Doumeki once her mom pulled the car up, much to Watanuki's dismay. Tomoyo drove Chii home for the night after the little blonde girl gave Fai a massive hug. Her Sayonara was a little distorted, but Fai laughed anyway and bid her farewell. He'll have to keep teaching her basic Japanese tomorrow.

As they left, Chii didn't miss the strange glare she was receiving from Kurogane.

"Don't worry about it." Tomoyo said as she slowed at the stop sign. "I have a feeling he'll be in a better mood tomorrow morning." Chii nodded and smiled. Syaoran and Watanuki waved to the girls until they were all out of sight. Watanuki sighed.

"Looks like it's just us guys now right Syaoran-kun?" he said. The brown haired boy nodded.

"Are there any plans for the party after the girls have left?" Seishiro said suggestively.

"Are there nothing but lewd thoughts in your head?" Kamui spat bitterly as everyone began to disperse from the doorway.

"Now, now Kamui, let's not make assumptions."

"I could say the same for your thoughts too Fuuma!" Kamui bit. Fuuma only laughed.

Kurogane sat down on the couch with his arms crossed and sighed. He looked up to Syaoran.

"So IS there anything you two want to do? Watch a movie or something?" he asked, eyeing Syaoran and Watanuki. Syaoran nodded while Watanuki slunk away from Kurogane stare.

"We did have a movie picked out actually. If we could set up the sleeping bags here, I can load the disc onto the TV." he said. Kurogane nodded.

While Syaoran figured out how to work the DVD player and move the TV screen so everyone could see it, sleeping bags were being sprawled out on the floor haphazardly. Subtly, Fai unrolled his right next to Kurogane's. Though this was not uncommon. The two were often together in whatever the situation. Seishiro and Fuuma seemed adamant about getting on Kamui's nerves. His sleeping bag was moved away from Subaru's every time he tried sleeping next to his brother. Eventually he succumbed and allowed Fuuma to occupy the space next to him while Subaru slept next to Seishiro. Even Watanuki was having complaints about Doumeki setting his bag right next to his.

"There's plenty of space right there! Why can't you move!?" he shouted.

"There still needs to be room for Syaoran-kun." the stoic boy pointed out.

"I KNOW THAT! But that doesn't mean you can crowd up my space! Don't sit down! LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY'RE TALKING TO YOU!"

"I'm actually looking forward to sleeping next to you." Doumeki said. Watanuki paused as a light blush came over his face. "I want to know if you're this loud when you're asleep." Doumeki finished.

"YOU-!"

"It's finished." Syaoran announced. As he turned around he was startled to see Seishiro taking off his shirt.

"S-Seishiro-san! What are you doing!" Syaoran asked, wary. The black haired boy only smiled.

"Of course I'm changing into my pajamas. I would like to be comfortable when I watch the movie. This should be fine since we're all guys here." he said. Kurogane rolled his eyes.

"Then say so. Don't go doing things that could be taken as perverted." he scolded. He felt a hand pat his knee.

"Oh relax Kuro-sama. He's got a point. I think I'll change too." Fai said as he reached for his duffel bag to pull out his pajamas.

"It's Kurogane." he argued uselessly. As everyone began changing, Syaoran left briefly to prepare popcorn and more beverages. He was a terrible cook so he'd left the baking and pizza making up to Watanuki and Sakura, but microwaving popcorn? He could do that.

As Syaoran prepared movie food for his guests, Fai was having trouble finding his pajamas.

"Hey Kuro-tan, do you have a spare shirt?" he asked as he shuffled through his duffel bag. The taller boy looked at him strangely.

"Why?" he asked. Fai chuckled.

"I usually wear an oversized T-shirt and sweats to bed. I have the bottoms but I can't find my shirt. You're the only one who'd have a shirt big enough to sleep comfortably in and it's still too cold sleep without a shirt." he said. Subaru made a move like he was bout to speak.

"Fai-kun, I have a spare…" he started. Seishiro then suddenly covered his mouth, a knowing smirk on his face.

"Don't worry about it. They'll work something out." he assured. Subaru blushed slightly and nodded.

Kurogane sighed.

"Let me check." he said. He looked briefly in his own duffel bag but seemed to come up empty. He shook his head.

"I don't have a spare. You can probably use what I'm wearing now if you need one. It's only been a few hours since I changed from my uniform to this so it's not like it's dirty." he said, taking off his current shirt. Fai hesitated.

"O-okay. That's fine." he said. He felt the heat rise to his cheeks as his friend boldly stripped off his clothing before him. Kurogane threw the shirt at Fai's head.

"Will that work?" he asked. Fai untangled the piece of clothing to try it on, attempting not to linger his eyes too long on Kurogane's form. His strong scent lingering on the article did not help slow Fai's racing heart. He hoped his blush wasn't as noticeable as it felt. He grinned after he put it on seeing that it was pretty comfortable. Kurogane looked at him.

"It's a little big, but does it work?" he said, noticing how the neck hole was large enough to drape over Fai's shoulder. The picture of Fai wearing his shirt in that fashion was strangely attractive, though never something he'd truly admit to himself. Fai nodded.

"Thanks Kuro-wan-wan!" he said. Kurogane gritted his teeth.

"How many times have I told you NOT TO CALL ME LIKE A DAMN DOG?" He shouted. Fai smirked.

"And how many times have I listened to you?" he countered.

"I DON'T CARE! KNOCK IT OFF!" the taller boy blustered. Fai laughed.

"But it's so fun!" he smiled. Kurogane scoffed.

"Idiot." he mumbled.

The movie they watched was a double feature. A combined movie titled 'The Princess in the Birdcaged Kingdom and a Midsummer Night's Dream'*. It was Syaoran and Watanuki's favorite movie. There was something about the characters that were so familiar. It reminded them of themselves.

Fai didn't watch the movie. He wasn't even paying attention to what movie they were watching. The strong scent of Kurogane on his shirt made him prone to drowsy daydreams and fantasies during the flick. While he still had control of himself, he decided to turn in for the night. His mind was tired and in a Kurogane scented filled haze. He could hear the rest of the movie play as he settled into his sleeping bag and lazily thought that one of the characters sounded a lot like the tan skinned boy. He wished he had his strong arms to wrap around him to complete this fantasy. That little bit was the only thing that kept him somewhat tied to reality.

The movie wasn't very long and everyone seemed to be getting tired halfway through. Subaru and Fuuma had already dropped unconscious. When Fuuma rolled over in his sleep and bumped into Kamui, he thought he was awake.

"Watch it…!" Kamui started. He paused when he saw Fuuma's gentle sleeping face. It was odd to see the boy without an overly benign smile like his brother's or his eyes hidden behind his orange tinted glasses. He blushed slightly as he admitted to himself that Fuuma wasn't COMPLETELY annoying ALL the time.

Seishiro was the next to fall asleep, though that was debatable. Kamui thought it was just so he could curl up next to Subaru without being noticed. As a result he only stayed awake to keep an eye on that bastard next to him.

Once the movie was over everyone else began settling into their sleeping bags. Watanuki made sure Doumeki was asleep and facing away from him before he fastened the amulet he gave him around his neck. He wanted to see if this thing really was a pathway into dreams…and that was the ONLY reason he'd say if anyone asked. Syaoran turned off the light in the kitchen before returning to his sleeping place.

"Hey, kid."

Syaoran looked up.

"Happy Birthday." Kurogane said. Syaoran beamed.

"Thank you Kurogane-san." he said. Kurogane half smiled and nodded. The silence after everyone began falling asleep was a little awkward. The only noise made was the sound of Fuuma tossing and turning in his sleeping bag, much to Kamui's dismay. The brunette was unconsciously rolling closer and closer to Kamui. Not wanting to be next to Seishiro or even close to him for that matter, he was stuck sleeping obnoxiously close to Fuuma. Though it wasn't completely unpleasant.

Halfway through the night Kurogane began to stir. He sat up and looked at the clock.

2:15

It's only been two hours since they went to bed. He sighed harshly. Tomoyo's words and implications were running through his head. The movie was a nice distraction, but now…there wasn't anything to divert his thoughts. Kurogane wasn't one to dwell or over-think situations, so this was especially annoying for him to deal with. He couldn't stop thinking that Tomoyo was right….

And he couldn't stop thinking about that kiss.

A part of him hoped that Fai hadn't noticed. That even though it was only supposed to be one way, just the pressing of Fai's lips to his own…that he had pressed back ever so slightly.

At the time he didn't know why he did it. He just made up the quick excuse that he was a teenager and liked kissing, regardless of who it was. That was quickly disproved when he kissed Tomoyo's head and found the thought of it unappealing.

He rubbed his temples. He needed to sleep; he wanted to forget all this nonsense and just sleep. He glanced over at Fai and paused. To his surprise, the idiot wasn't sleeping face down in his pillow like he usually did. He lay facing up, his expression of what he was dreaming laid bare for all to see. That's why Kurogane thought he always slept face down. He knew the blonde was prone to nightmares and must have gone into the habit of sleeping that way so no one would see his pained expression and worry. The idea of that was just stupid to Kurogane but then again so much like Fai.

The blonde's expression now, though, wasn't one of pain or discomfort. He actually looked pretty relaxed. Kurogane cursed himself. He'd never realized how vulnerable Fai looked when he slept face up. He studied his face for a moment.

A sudden urge came over him. He looked around to make sure everyone else was asleep before trying it. He touched the blonde's lips with his fingers to test them. Fai didn't stir. He took a deep breath and before he could rethink what he was doing, he leaned down and kissed him.

He didn't kiss as lightly as Fai had during the game. In this kiss he could really feel how soft the pale boy's lips were. He pulled away, cursing himself again and feeling like scum for doing that to Fai in his sleep. Suddenly the idiot began to stir.

"Dammit." he whispered before he lay back in his sleeping bag and turned away from him. He heard Fai make a little noise as he came to. The rustle of sleeping bags implied that he was sitting up.

Fai touched his lips. He could have sworn he felt something on them. Either he did or he just had a VERY realistic dream. He cast a quick glance at Kurogane. He hoped that maybe he'd see the boy was awake, or…something. From this view Kurogane was sleeping…there was no way he could have done it.

"Then…it was just a dream." he mumbled to himself, feeling disappointed. He sighed.

"Of course it was a dream. Kuro-sama would never kiss me. He would never return my feelings." he laughed bitterly, closing his eyes.

He heard a rustle to his right and figured it was only Kurogane moving about in his sleep.

"That wasn't a dream." he heard. His eyes widened. He could feel his cheeks flare up and his heart pump. K-Kurogane heard him! Fai sat there frozen, unsure of what to do. Kurogane had just heard him confess that he had a crush on him…but then he also heard Kurogane say that he'd just kissed him a moment ago.

"N-not…a dream?" he stuttered. He risked a glance at Kurogane who looked equally surprised.

"No." he said.

Fai could only stare at him in shock. He was at a loss for words. Should he be happy that Kurogane felt the same way? Embarrassed that he heard his confession? Angry that he'd kissed him while he slept? He wasn't exactly sure what to do. Kurogane seemed to know though. The red eyed boy leaned in close to him. Fai instinctively drew in as well. He paused before their lips met and let Kurogane conduct the kiss.

The taller boy unashamedly sealed his lips against Fai's. It wasn't until he felt Kurogane's lips move against his that he'd realized that they really were kissing. He was kissing Kurogane, and Kurogane was kissing back. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around the taller boy's neck. Kurogane settled his hand on the small of Fai's back while the other went to curl his fingers in his hair.

This time Fai was brave and he licked Kurogane's lips to gain entry. Kurogane gladly obliged as he opened his mouth and they slid their tongues past each other. Kurogane pressed Fai back down into his sleeping bag as they continued kissing. They pulled away to breathe for a moment.

Fai smiled as Kurogane rested his forehead against his.

"That was unexpected," Fai panted "Kuro-sama's a good kisser." he teased. Kurogane smirked.

"Shut up." he said as he kissed Fai again.

It wasn't long before they became tired again and fell asleep in each other's arms. Unbeknownst to them, Watanuki had lain awake after the movie. Doumeki's heavy breathing next to him made him too uncomfortable to go to sleep. When he heard the beginning of Fai and Kurogane's conversation, he sat up. He could barely make them out through the dark and likewise, they never saw him either.

He just stared wide-eyed in the darkness when he found out what was going on. He could hear the sounds of their lips and rustling of their sleeping bags. God could only tell where their hands were at this point. When they finally stopped and seemed to fall asleep. Watanuki just looked on in shock. He then looked down at the amulet he wore and shook his head.

"T-this is someone's dream! Y-yeah. I'm sure it's Doumeki's perverted dream right? Y-Yeah." he said, beginning to actually believe himself. He forced himself down and asleep as he tried to forget the disturbing sight he just saw.


Syaoran was the first to wake up. He'd wanted to make breakfast (as best he could) for everyone considering his father went out last night with his friend Clow for the party. When he stood up he noticed everyone slept in pairs of twos…and were…really…close…together. Fai was in Kurogane's arms. Seishiro looked like he was spooning Subaru. Fuuma's arm was draped lazily over Kamui's chest. And Doumeki and Watanuki were face to face.

As strange as the sight was, he shook his head and began making his way through the maze of bodies and to the kitchen. He closed the kitchen door to keep the sound as contained as possible. That didn't stop Seishiro from being the next to awaken.

As he tiredly stood up, he looked around and saw the same sight that Syaoran had. He smirked as a malevolent thought occurred to him. The morning wouldn't be well received by many if Seishiro was plotting again.

Fai fell asleep smiling and had continued to do so through the rest of the night. The smell of Kurogane, his breath, his heartbeat…and his arms. His fantasy from the movie was complete…and it was real! He mildly wished that morning would never come.

But when it did…

Cold water suddenly splashed over both him and Kurogane. Fai gasped, inhaling a mouthful of water and coughing it up as a result. Kurogane sat upright, irritation clearly evident on his face. He looked up to see Seishiro, with that dumbass smirk on his face.

"Good Morning." he sang. Fuuma appeared beside him, evidently wet as well.

"He's a cruel person isn't he?" he chuckled. Fai cast a glance to a dampened Kamui who was being restrained from strangling Seishiro by Subaru. Kurogane clenched his teeth.

"Bastard!" he growled. He sprang up, hands out towards the other boy's throat. Seishiro instinctively moved aside, but that didn't stop Kurogane from giving chase to him out the door and down the block. While Kurogane was on his murder spree, Fuuma finished up what Seishiro had started and poured a healthy glass of water over Doumeki and Watanuki.

What was the most unbelievable was that while Watanuki jumped out of his sleeping bag, shrieking, Doumeki merely sat up and rubbed his eyes as if he'd just dozed off and come to. Fuuma got an earful from both Watanuki and Kamui when he was finally freed by Subaru. Fai, at least, felt a bit less embarrassed that he and Kurogane weren't the only one's sleeping that close. Kamui's red face was proof of that.

He stood up and decided to join Syaoran in the kitchen. He knew he couldn't expect Kurogane back until he properly beat Seishiro…and Seishiro was fast. When he walked in he was instantly met with an overpowering odor.

"S-Syaoran-kun!?" he excalimed, not being able to help covering his nose with his hands. Likewise, Syaoran had his shirt pulled up over his nose as he sat at the dining table. He sighed and looked at Fai with pleading eyes.

Fai looked over to the sink and stove and found an atrocious pile of dishes and burnt eggs, toast and who knows what. Fai tried to smile sympathetically. He patted Syaoran on the shoulder.

"Let me help you." he said. Syaoran beamed.

"T-Thank you Fai-san." he said. Fai nodded, removing his hand from over his nose.

"Why don't you start cleaning the dishes and I can get started on cleaning up the stove so we can fix up some breakfast." he said. Syaoran nodded and the two got to work. At one point Syaoran had a guilty look on his face. The blonde felt it wasn't about the food so he asked.

"What's wrong Syaoran-kun?" he asked as he began cracking eggs. Syaoran sighed; his face began to tint a little.

"I-I'm sorry about Seishiro-san." he said. Fai flushed. Syaoran must have seen the two of them when he woke up to make breakfast. There really wasn't any way that he could explain that to Syaoran without letting slip what had happened.

"Its fine Syaoran-kun, but you don't have to take responsibility for his actions." Fai said, shuffling the skillet a bit over the flame.

"But I was the one who gave Seishiro-san the water. I didn't know what he wanted it for. But I just wanted to apologize. I'm partly at fault." he said. Fai smiled.

"Well then thank you for being honest Syaoran-kun, but we're all fine…well, I can't speak for Seishiro-san but…" he chuckled. Syaoran smiled and nodded.

Breakfast was served by the time Kurogane had dragged Seishiro back, who was sporting a very painful looking and swollen black eye. Of course that had not dampened Seishiro's mood or gotten rid of his 'dumbass smirk'.

Subaru was the only one worried for his well being when both of them returned. Kurogane simply dropped him wherever he felt like dropping him and let Subaru take care of the rest. He spotted Fai and Syaoran carrying trays of food from the kitchen to the table in the living room. He couldn't help the little tint in his cheeks from appearing. Fai was the same way when they made eye contact.

While everyone gathered around Seishiro to voice their grievances, Kurogane joined Fai by the food table. Syaoran left them to themselves so he could break up any fight that was going to happen.

"Good Morning, Kuro-sama." Fai smiled. Kurogane coughed uncomfortably when he realized that he hadn't even looked at Fai when they woke up. He was immediately out the door after Seishiro.

"Sorry." he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Fai chuckled.

"That's not what you're supposed to say when someone tells you 'Good Morning'." he smiled. Kurogane smirked.

"Morning." he said.

"Good puppy!" Fai grinned as he patted Kurogane on the head. Kurogane frowned. He grabbed Fai's hand and pulled forward. He leaned his head in close to his ear.

"It's Kurogane." he growled. Fai blushed.

The remainder of the morning was spent indulging in Fai's Omelets, Fruit crepes and other French delicacies. Most everyone ignored Seishiro as well. Fuuma didn't score many points in attention either.

"Kuro-tan," Fai called as everyone began changing into normal clothes. He took off the shirt Kurogane had loaned him and held it out.

"Thanks for letting me borrow this." he said. Kurogane hesitated, looking Fai up and down before pushing his hand back.

"Keep it. It doesn't fit me well anyway. And I can't trust that an idiot like you won't forget your night shirt again." he said. Fai beamed.

"Thanks!" he smiled. Kurogane rolled his eyes.

"Moron." he said.

Kurogane and Fai packed their bags and piled them in the back of Kurogane's truck. They bid Syaoran and Watanuki a one last "Happy Birthday" before pulling out of the driveway and on their way to Fai's house to drop him off.

They didn't say anything at first, which made Fai a bit uncomfortable. When they pulled up to the stoplight, Fai grabbed Kurogane's hand, the one that wasn't on the steering wheel. Kurogane looked over at him.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Fai smiled.

"Just making sure Syaoran-kun's house wasn't some sort of other dimension where I hallucinated everything." he said. Kurogane sighed harshly and squeezed Fai's hand lightly.

"Idiot." he said. He leaned over and kissed Fai on the lips.

The driver behind them honked as the light turned green. Kurogane honked back and cursed under his breath. Fai laughed as he continued to hold Kurogane's hand. He couldn't wait to tell Sakura, but other than her, he'd want to keep it a secret.

The result was that Sakura told Tomoyo. So in short…

By lunch on Monday the whole school knew.


* Did you catch that? Huh? Huh? If not, then I suggest you check out the Tsubasa movie "Princess of the Bircaged Kingdom" and the xxxHolic movie "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ^^ Neither is very long.
