Title: Mir
Summary: 7 short drabbles for the Secret Santa challenge. I am so sorry for being late.
Kurogane doesn't think he's cut out for this 'Santa' gig. He's pretty sure he'd just scare all the children away and points that out accordingly to the amused mage who had already signed him up for the job. Saying that since he was the cook, and Syaoran was the leader. Kurogane had nothing to do in this world, and might as well do some work while they were there, since Kurogane's bodyguard role was rather moot at the moment. The mage grins, ignoring him, and tosses the three-piece suit (accesories and all) to the ninja and sweetly tells him his hours.

Innocently, with bright blue eyes and a sweetly saccarine smile, the child goes forward and plants himself on the proferred knee. Kurogane tries to reign in his surprise, and succeeds, although his unaturally red eyes widen and he cannot speak for a minute. Reminding himself that there are other 'Fye's' and probably other 'Kurogane's' out there in the different worlds and dimensions the kid is bound to move between. He brings himself back to Earth quickly, when the child begins to laugh, the current world's child version of Fye telling him he was an 'awful quiet Santa'.

Yuui is Fye's name in this world, the world is called Mir, and magic abounds and flourishes here. Kurogane's Fye and Mir's Fye are different. It is because Mir's Yuui shares his soul Kurogane's Fye. And Kurogane's Fye is not Ashura's Fye, and neither is he Valeria's Yuui because the two latter is dead. It is giving him a hell of a headache and he tries not to think about it much. He decides to call his Fye, mage. And to the Mir Fluorites, their own names. Because to him, there is only one mage. And that is his.

The mage meets the Mir twins and his impression is bittersweet. He lingers on Mir's Fye imperceptibly to anyone but Kurogane. Smiling cheerfully at the blond replicas of his childhood, and even getting out a camera to snap them both on Kurogane's knees. Yuui cheekily grabbed the camera and asked the mage if he could take one. Of Kurogane and Kurogane's Fye. Fye agreed immediately, to Kurogane's protest, promising to behave with a wink. Saying that it wasn't fun to kiss Kuro-Claus when he was wearing the getup, because the cotton beard was weird and stuck to his mouth. Kurogane retorted that he might just wear them for-ever if that was the case. The mage sneaked a kiss in anyway when the twins had left them. Kurogane shoved the mage off his lap, although gently, because he did not miss the sharp pain in his mage's miss-matched eyes.

Kurogane finds it exasperatingly fitting that Mir's Yuui is not two steps behind Mir's Kurogane. Pestering him with nicknames and shoving candy canes into Mir's Kurogane's spluttering mouth.

A monster attacks the carnival, and Kurogane is in action immediately, as the mage stands corrected. He notices that his Mir counterpart springs into action at the same time he does, and he doesn't bat an eye. Kurogane had been fighting since he was Mir's Kurogane's current age after all. They defeat the creature between them easily. Although the child obtains a few non-life threatening injuries. A few bruises and a head wound, is all. Yuui fusses over him anyway, although it is his brother that helps to heal him because Yuui cannot do that kind of magic. The mage's sharp eyes catch Yuui's fleeting look of self-loathing before it is gone and replaced by the automatic smile. The mage was not the only one who noticed, Mir's Kurogane is as sharp as the mage's and deals with Yuui accordingly. The mage looks away as Yuui's automatic smile shifts to something more genuine. Turning to his own Kurogane, who watches their copies with eyes that read 'been there, done that, bought the bleedin' t-shirt', and the mage kisses him and calls him his 'Kuro-ninja claus' glancing at him silently with his grateful blue and vampire golden eyes.

When everyone is gone, and they are back at their host's house. The mage helps him out of the Santa suit.
Piece by teasingly frustating piece.
What they did after is up to imagination.
The next morning Fye has cotton fluff in his hair, and Kurogane is happily sated. Syaoran turns red when Mokona starts singing the popular Christmas song (something about seeing mother kissing Santa), and turns even redder when Fye laughs and winks in his direction.
