Chapter 6: Hangover
"It was you who showed me I got a friend in you.
I always knew that you'd be right here for me.
And it was you who stuck with me when the skies weren't blue.
And it was you who stayed by my side. It was you."
-It Was You, Ashley Ballard with So Plush
What did I say to him? I honestly don't remember. I must have gotten pretty drunk. I don't remember very much after the second bottle of...whatever that stuff was.
Sighing, I sit up. That move proves to be a mistake as a headache hits me full-force. With an involuntary moan of pain, I collapse back to the bed and close my eyes against the suddenly painful light.
Kurama is immediately awake. He holds me gently. "Hiei..? Are you okay?"
Opening my eyes, I slowly focus on his face. He smiles at me. "What did I say to you?" My voice is weak.
The smile disappears. "What do you mean?"
"I remember that you were crying. I don't remember why."
"It...it was nothing." He won't meet my eyes.
I look at him. "Liar. What did I say to you?" I need to know.
The fox cringes. "You were drunk, Hiei. I know you didn't mean it..." He still won't look at me.
I sigh disgustedly. "What. Did. I. Say?" I demand.
He finally looks at me. "You...you said that I didn't love you. And that I would find someone else when you die." He hugs me. "But I know that you didn't mean it." I pull away from him and push myself off the bed. "Hiei, I know that you didn't mean it!" He jumps out after me and pulls me to him. "You were too drunk to know what you were saying." I refuse to look at him, but he gently pulls my face up. "No matter what you say, I still love you. You can't push me away."
I look away from his face. "Kurama...I...I'm sorry..." I whisper. "I didn't mean..."
He quiets me with a kiss. "I know. You don't have to tell me. I already know." I nod. He grins at me. "You probably have one hell of a hangover. Let me get breakfast started." He lets go of me and leaves the room.
I shake my head, staring after him. He always forgives me, no matter what I do to him. I wish it were the same way with Yukina...
Resolutely, I push away my worries. At least for the moment. I need to relax and find out what Yuusuke told Kurama.
