Title: Between Friends
Crack!Pairing: Clef/Fuu (used as a friendship)
Warnings: What? It is a Clean fic? This is happening to often for comfort, but Clef's penis is mentioned if that makes you lot feel better. ^.~
Between Friends:
Fuu opened the door to the small dining area. She expected to find him here. The mage always chose the perfect time of day to eat without anyone else around. He was sitting at the far end of the little table used by their circle of friends, prodding his food, but not eating it. Poor man. His life had just become 200 times more complicated.
“Doushi..”
Clef looked up at the wind knight and motioned her to sit down, but didn’t offer a word to her.
“I am afraid Umi is worse now since she talked to you.”
He nodded in silence and poked at the sliced plug on his plate for the hundredth time. He just wasn’t hungry.
“What did you say to her?”
The look in his eyes was painful. His voice was only barely above a whisper as he spoke. “We had a fight.”
Fuu merely stared at him. Umi was beside herself over the fact that she was sixteen-years-old and pregnant, and yet she still managed an argument with the mage? “What did you fight about?”
“She is impossible. It was her choice. I told her this would happen, but she didn’t listen to me.”
“And you told her that?”
“I do not lie to her.” He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.
The blond girl shook her head. How these two had even started a relationship like this was beyond her. They were always fighting. She was amazed that Umi had not managed to simply kill Clef during on of their more violent arguments. “You could at least be nicer about it. You have no idea how frightened she was to tell you.”
“That is another thing. Why did she tell you girls first?”
“I think she was scared senseless. She came to my house sobbing so uncontrollably that I thought something terrible had happened to her.” The knight paused as she tried to wipe the mental image from her mind. “I was almost relieved it was only that she was pregnant.”
“But what does that have to do with Caldina and Presea finding out before I was informed?” He set down his cup in a way that told her that he wanted noting but the truth.
“It is impossible to keep something from Caldina for long. She has ways of getting it out of you.”
“And Presea?”
“Caldina told her. I don’t know why, but those two were a big help in getting Umi to confront you, or else you still might not know. Albeit, Caldina was a little…well you know she can’t keep her mouth shut. She said some things that rather upset Umi.”
“What type of things?”
“I don’t know if I should repeat them…” Fuu’s cheeks flushed, and she looked down at the table.
Clef’s eyes burned into her. If Caldina was a genius at getting information from people, Clef was the master. Just one simple look and you didn’t want to continue to hold out from him.
Clearing her throat but no looking him in the eye, the wind knight continued. “I can’t remember most of the other things she said, but one that really did upset Umi… I can’t say it.”
“Fuu…” His voice held that strong warning tone.
Taking a deep breathe, she started again. “She said, ‘I thought the geezer was too damn old to get the thing up.’”
The mage chuckled in spite of himself. Yes, that dancer had never held any sort of respect for him, but he knew that if it had been any other sort of occasion, Umi would have been bashing him right along with her.
