Yuu Yuu Hakusho
Tall Blue Drinks


        The sheets had just lost their chill and Kurama was just dozing
off
when the light taps on the window demanded his attention.

        *Go away, Hiei,* he thought in a drowsy growl as he pulled the
covers
over his head, caught between the edge of awareness and sleep.

        The tapping continued , insistent and annoying. Kurama sighed,
resigned
now to wakefulness. He sat up and threw the covers back as he swung his
legs out into the chill of the winter night. He yawned while his toes
searched for the slippers next to his bed, then he realized the tapping
had stopped and frowned. He padded to the window and looked out into the
snow covered branches of the tree next to his window. No Hiei. He
startled just a tiny bit as Hiei appeared before the window, upside
down, apparently hanging somehow from the roof. The end of the white
scarf his friend wore around his neck was obscuring Hiei's face, obeying
the laws of gravity which Hiei was somehow ignoring at the moment.

        "Hiei!" Kurama let a little of his annoyance show in his voice
as Hiei
yanked the scarf out of the way and stared back at him, then wiggled his
fingers in a 'hello' gesture.

        Kurama lifted his eyebrows at that very un-Hiei like gesture as
he
opened the window. Hiei tried to make a graceful entrance but it ended
up in a slither over the sill and down the small piece of wall beneath
it.

        "Hiei?" Kurama looked down at him, concerned.

        Hiei blinked at him a few times then tipped his head to the side
until
his ear was almost resting on his shoulder.

        "How do you do that, Kurama?"

        "Do what, Hiei?" Kurama answered cautiously, unsure of what was
wrong
with his friend.

        "Stand at an angle like that? You should fall over!" he reached
up and
poked Kurama firmly in the lower chest and frowned when Kurama didn't
fall over.

        Kurama finally placed the scent that hovered around Hiei.

        "Hiei, what have you been drinking?" he asked with a hint of a
laugh.

        "Something blue. In a really tall glass," Hiei answered as he
got
wobbly to his feet.  He held his hand horizontally and put it against
his sternum. "Really tall glass."

        "Hiei, you are drunk," Kurama stated, his amusement reflected in
his
leaf-green eyes.

        Hiei glared back at him, his expression not amused.

        "No, I am not. I'm just very relaxed..." he listed enough that
Kurama
had to reach out and push hard on the listing shoulder to keep him from
falling over.

        "Obviously," Kurama said with a little laugh and thought about
asking
just who Hiei had been drinking with, then decided he'd rather not know.

        "So, how many 'blue' drinks did you have?" he asked, trying to
gauge
just how drunk Hiei was.

        "Hn..." Hiei started to count on his fingers, ticking off
remembered
glasses. "Twelve...I think..." he put down another finger... "or was it
thirteen?"

        Hiei listed away from him as he counted and Kurama reached out
and
grabbed the front of his coat and pulled, bringing him back upright.

        Kurama shook his head in amazement. "You are going to feel awful
in the
morning, you know."

        "Really? Why?" Hiei asked curiously.

        He listed forwards and Kurama's arms went around his waist in
instinct.
Hiei reached out as he fought for balance and his arms ended up around
Kurama's neck. He hung, a semi-limp weight. Kurama smiled, then shook
his head with a soft, resigned sigh. Hiei would kill him in the morning
if he took advantage of this.

        "I think you'd better sleep in here tonight. You'd fall out of
the tree
and the roof is too slick."

        "I would not!" Hiei mumbled into his chest as Kurama wrapped his
arms
around Hiei's waist and picked him up enough so he could walk them to
the bed. He backed Hiei until his knees hit the side and let him down.
Hiei put out his hands on each side and braced himself with a curious
expression.

        "What?" Kurama asked with a small smile.

        "Is the bed moving?"

        "No. I imagine your head is spinning from all that liquor you
just
drank."

        Hiei reached up and put both hands on either side of his head as
Kurama
started working on getting off his boots.

        "No, it's not."

        That literal interpretation of his remark made Kurama start
laughing as
he tugged off the other boot. Hiei regarded him with narrowed eyes and
Kurama quickly got the laughter under control. Hiei did not take well to
being laughed at. He unwrapped the scarf as Hiei tried to shrug out of
his coat. He almost broke out laughing again as Hiei got tangled up with
the sleeves and muttered a few choice curses as he shook his arms,
making the sleeves writhe snake-like. He took the end of one sleeve and
pulled, setting Hiei free before he truly lost his temper.

        He was just starting to straighten when Hiei's hands closed on
each
lock of the hair that hung in front of his ears and began to lean back.

        "Hiei! Let go!" Kurama gasped out and followed to keep from
getting his
hair yanked as Hiei leaned until his back hit the bed, making Kurama put
his hand out on either side of his head and lean over him.

        Hiei didn't say anything, just continued the steady pressure,
pulling
Kurama's face toward his own.

        "Hiei! What are you doing?" Kurama asked in shock.

        "Shut up, Kurama. You talk to much," Hiei muttered at him, then
their
lips met.

        It was a closed firm pressure, Kurama too startled to make it
into more
and Hiei too inexperienced to know how to make it into more. The
pressure let up on his sidelocks and Kurama pulled back, but was stopped
as Hiei was only willing to let him go so far and still had control of
his hair. Hiei scowled up at him.

        "So what's the big deal about that?"

        "Try again, Hiei, and I'll show you," Kurama grinned back down.

        Once again he had the thought that Hiei would probably kill him
in the
morning. Oh well. It would be worth it.
