Status : Complete Pairing: Kyo x Shingo(slight shonen ai, if you grasp to see) Characters: Kyo Kusanagi, Shingo Yabuki Summary: It was already a special day in Shingo's daily life when his precious master agreed to hang out with him. However, a very little he knew what kind of encounter awaits him. How it will end? Read and find out. [Originally posted on AO3 and ff.net on 2019/02/02] It was a peaceful day of autumn, neither it was too humid, neither too cold, just that perfect middle. It was a day, which was too good to be wasted by just sitting at home and doing nothing. Finally, the long waited day for this young Yabuki has begun. Even if it might be just an ordinary Saturday, for Shingo it was a special day. After all, his adored master promised him that he would have some spare time to hang out with him. So, even if they both agree to meet up for today, this young man already started to prepare since last week. From preparing a better outfit to picking a better places for this trip – everything was planned carefully and checked twice. Good half hour has passed, now he was done with dressing and just before leaving home, he fixed his hair and rushed to estimated place, hoping that he didn’t make his idol to wait too much. It didn’t take long enough to reach local arcade, however, he might have arrived a little too early, because there was still no sign of his master. While he was still panting and regaining his breath, Shingo checked his wrist-watch to check the time, however, soon he heard a familiar voice and he looked up to see, who could it be. There was no mistake and now his face brightened after seeing that it was his idol, who said in gentle tone ‘‘Yo! Did I make you to wait?’’. Currently Kyo wore almost a matching outfit like his disciple, only color scheme was different – instead of Shingo’s dark greyish color coat, navy blue scarf and blue jeans, he wore a black coat, white scarf and black pants. The younger brunette looked at Kyo and honestly answered ‘‘Please, don’t worry about that, I only just got here. ’’ his mentor only closed his eyes and while chuckled, he covered his mouth with a palm, revealing that he also wore black gloves. Soon, he opened his eyes and after putting both hands into coat’s pockets, he said ‘‘I can see it. You still look all red. Don’t tell me that you ran all the way here…’’ And soon Shingo shyly replied ‘‘Well…I didn’t wanted to be late. So, that’s why I had to rush a bit ’’. Kyo only sighed at this kind of reply and asked ‘‘You don’t need to worry about that. We have all day, right? So, where do you want to go first?’’, his disciple turned his gaze to the showcase of arcade and said ‘‘I was thinking that it would be nice to have a good match with you, Kusanagi-san. Of course, if you don’t mind.’’ And now this younger brunette looked at his mentor, waiting for his answer. It seems that Kyo agreed and now he replied ‘‘Sure thing. However, I must warn you about one thing.’’. For a second, Shingo looked confused, but his master continued ‘‘I won’t go easy on you. So, I hope you’re prepared~’’. After both entered trough the door of arcade, Shingo already suggested which game they should try – that was a new fighting game about which they were talking for awhile. However, just the moment when young Yabuki wanted to insert coin, this elder brunette stopped him by gently brushing-off that hand, which holds the coin, now said being so much self-confident ‘‘Don’t worry, I’ll pay for this match. And now, watch and learn how pros do it.’’. However, as soon as Kyo inserted coin, he started to regret this choice. With each match, this Kusanagi heir’s self-confidence and that smug look on his face were swiped right away, however, he couldn’t accept being defeated and keep on insisting for another chance. In the end, Shingo was on the lead with having eight victories, while his master had only two (however, he got these thanks to Shingo’s almost purposely loosing). Right now, Kyo putted his hand on his pupil’s shoulder and while he was slightly blushing congratulated him in best way he could ‘‘It’s kinda hard to admit, but you won fair and square…So, congrats, man. However, at least could you explain one thing – how did you do that? ’’ and after Shingo cracked a nervous smile, he innocently asked ‘‘I did what?’’, his master only gave him a curious look and kept questioning him further ‘‘How did you won? Hmm, don’t tell me that you cheated against your master…’’, but this younger brunette only shaked his head and simply explained ‘‘I just used what I learn from training with you, Kusanagi-san…’’. Of course, this kind of answer only made Kyo think (‘‘So, this how you use my precious knowledge…That idiot…’’), but soon these thoughts were interrupted when someone gently holded his hand and almost dragged him somewhere. It turns out, it was his disciple, who seemed to be so happy and excited for some reason. A second later, he saw that possible reason for such behaviour – it was a gatchapon. Just when they both stopped, Shingo’s enthusiasm only grew stronger as he inserted coin and turned the lever and soon a red color ball has rolled from outlet of machine. After he picked this prize, Shingo handled it to his mentor while his face was radiating from excitement and said ‘‘This one is for you, Master.’’ Now Kyo carefully opened it checked what could it be. Even if it was a simple key ring, which looked like a good-luck charm, Kyo was grateful for such a kind gesture and now he ruffled his disciple’s hair, while he putted this key ring into his coat’s pocket. After both left the arcade, the next estimated point was one of their favourite food restaurants. The time spent here went much quicker than expected but both were enjoying each other’s company and, surprisingly, this time Shingo’s master paid whole price, not mentioning the fact that he allowed to his disciple to order as much as he wanted without worrying about the cost. Like Kyo said that he simply wanted to return a favour for such a selfless and constant treatment. So, no matter how hard it may to admit, but he secretly respected and liked this side of his pupil. And now aside this, for now everything went according this younger brunette’s plan and now both were heading to the park. On the way, Shingo was stopped by Kyo’s request to go to convenience store just to grab something for a quick snack and, of course, he didn’t mind that. However, when the elder brunette asked whenever he should pick anything for his disciple, Shingo politely declined and said that he could wait outside. Luckily, there weren’t so many people and it took about ten minutes to get needed goods and now both were back on track. And so, after good half hour both finally reached park. It was so peaceful and light breeze shattered the falling leaves in the air. However, all of sudden Shingo stopped going and now seemed to be excited like a child, who saw something amazing. Of course, Kyo looked at same direction as his disciple and noticed why his disciple got distracted – near the pound there were a flock of various wild birds. Right now, Shingo looked at his master with sparkling eyes and asked ‘‘ Master, can I?’’ Of course, there was no way that Kyo could say ‘no’ when his disciple was making these puppy eyes. Every single time when it happens, he gets softer and forgiving toward this boy. Besides, he is just being honest and somewhere deep inside this elder brunette is glad that Shingo trust him enough to show this side. So, now, Kyo sighed and said ‘‘Just give me a second.’’ Right now, he searched for something inside the bag. Soon he picked up a bag of potatoes chips and after opening in front of his disciple, he said ‘‘Just open your hands.’’ and now gave him a good handful of chips. Shingo rewarded him a grateful smile and asked ‘‘Aren’t you going to join me?’’ and his mentor simply answered ‘‘Nah, I’m fine, but I’ll watch you over, okay?’’. Soon Kyo sat down on nearest bench and observed how his disciple ran toward these birds and after he stopped, he waved at his master. Of course, this elder brunette smiled and waved back, however, only now he noticed one thing – these potato chips were with chilli flavour. But he didn’t paid too much attention to it, because, what could possibly go wrong? So, for now he just relaxed and enjoyed the calmness. Meanwhile, when Shingo started to feed the birds, one swan approached him. Of course, he stretched his arm and offered to this long-necked bird a potato chip and it immediately swallowed without any second thought. However, something seemed off, this bird stared at Shingo and now he asked ‘‘What’s wrong, lil fella?’’ and he tried to offer another chip, but then all of sudden this bird nibbed with it’s beak into Shingo’s hand. Now he fell down when this bird started to hiss and spread it’s white broad wings, now this brunette nervously said ‘‘G-Good birdo…please, calm down.’’ And after he managed stand up, he began to run as fast as he could before this swan nibbed him to death. Right now, Kyo almost finished eating potato chips but now he heard how someone started screaming and he looked toward the source of this way familiar voice ‘‘ KUSANAGIIIIII-SAAAN!’’. There was no mistake, it was Shingo and it seems that now he was chased down by this wild bird. He could only widen his eyes in shock and pray that his disciple wouldn’t run toward his direction. However, as he standed up, he accidentally dropped down bag of these spicy goodness and couldn’t move for awhile. As soon as his disciple already reached him, Shingo grabbed his hand and now both were running as a wind. While, they tried to escape from this winged menace Kyo asked ‘‘How the hell this happen and why this thing wants me dead?’’ and Shingo nervously answered ‘‘I don’t know either. I was just feeding birds and it began to threaten me!’’. And now, this Kusanagi heir took a mental note – never let Shingo to feed birds ever again. Fortunately, this chase didn’t took long enough, because soon enough this bird lost it’s interest on having a revenge on these two young men. After good hour, both were able to breath normally and now they almost reached pharmacy. It seems that only after this chase was over, Kyo noticed that his disciple was wounded by this wild bird and even if it was a small scrape, he refused to leave it alone. After all, he felt like he had a huge responsibility on his shoulders since when he took Shingo under his care, so, now it was natural that he wanted to make sure that his student won’t get into any trouble and just stay safe. So, after he bought a medical bandage, he offered Shingo to sit down on nearest bench and after he putted medical bandage, he felt relieved and said ‘‘There you go. It should be good for now.’’. It was followed by Shingo’s rewarding smile ‘‘Thank you, Kusanagi-san.’’ And that made Kyo slightly embarrassed as he turned his gaze away and mumbled ‘‘It’s not that it was difficult. At least, be careful next time, you idiot…’’ Of course, this kind of his master’s gesture made him curious ‘‘Eh? What’s wrong, Kusanagi-san?’’ now Kyo looked at him again and said ‘‘It’s nothing…At least you’re fine.’’. Shingo could reply in his cheerful tone ‘‘And it thanks to you. So, it sure definitely would heal in no time.’’ and Shingo showed how he could freely move his treated hand. Just before standing up, Kyo gently ruffled his disciple’s hair and said ‘‘Let’s go or you prefer to sit here all day?’’ and after he took couple steps further, he felt how Shingo stopped him by gently grabbing his hand and heard ‘‘Well, I don’t mind that. As long as it is with master, I can go anywhere. ’’ and such a reply was really unexpected and now Shingo’s idol was speechless and tried to hide rising embarrassment by lowering his head. However, he didn’t let his disciple’s hand, but now only holding it more tightly and after he lifted his head and fixed his scarf, he said being slightly nervous ‘‘A- Anyway,…let’s move on.’’ His pupil only nodded his head and now both continued today’s trip.

Title: The Confession Status: Complete Pairing: Kyo x Shingo(shonen ai) Summary: When everything may seem fine so far, Shingo's precious master's behavior makes him worried and prepared for the worst. Could it mean that Kyo already fed-off of his student? Read and find out how will it ends. [Originally posted on AO3 and ff.net on 2018/09/28] It’s been a while, since Shingo decided to become the disciple of Kyo. That’s right, the same Kyo Kusanagi, who is famous for not only having participating, but also winning one of challenging fighting tournaments – King of Fighters. That moment when he saw Kyo’s team first match, he started to admire him, not only as skillful fighter who wielded the power of flames, but also as charismatic person. As time passed, started to respect and admire his idol more and more. The day when the heir of Kusanagi took him as a student under his care, was the best day in young Yabuki’s life. Just learning new moves or simple yet useful tips about any kind of matter, was something special that made Shingo’s day. So, it was natural to him to treat his Master kindly and cherish him despite how Kyo treated him. It may seem pretty cold or rather harsh treatment, but he though that was the only way to teach his disciple, wasn’t it? Afterall, he can’t go soft or else, his work would be for naught and his pupil wouldn’t learn anything. How much of patience and effort are needed in order to train someone like Shingo. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you explain such simple things, he won’t get it and repeats same mistakes over and over again. Maybe it would be much simpler to give up already and quit this whole teaching stuff and just finally be at peace, this what Kyo thinks after a long day. However, at least he tries his best, no matter what, even if he gets scolded or fall so many times, he stands up and continues the training until successes mastering certain moves. How could anyone be so happy and proud over such a small achievements? He almost reminded a child with this kind of attitude, who rushes to show what has accomplished to someone who is worth of that trust. Maybe because of that honest and loyalty Kyo started secretly to admire his disciple. It was something hard to admit, but day by day and seeing how his student progressing further and might surpassed in some cases already, made him proud and relieved that his spent time teaching wasn’t for nothing. Besides, it’s not too bad as it seemed in the beginning, especially when you can be treated every day, just because of doing this. Of course, the food also taste better when there is a company and having Shingo as it might be not so annoying, it was rather more enjoyable and by his presence and that made Kyo feel relaxed and calm. As time passed, it just became a part of daily life. However, recently something was off and didn’t give a rest for this Kusanagi heir. Maybe it was only in his mind, but he got too much got used to spending his time with Shingo that now he can’t imagine what would happen if Shingo decides that Kyo’s assistance wouldn’t be necessary and just simply leaves his side. That idiot always can get into trouble so easily and now who is going to stop him from doing anything reckless, those thoughts could leave Kyo alone. So, he must protect his precious disciple no matter what. However, why did he become so anxious and restless? More important that only made him wonder who is Shingo for him – only a good friend and it was a simple master and disciple relationship or maybe something more? No way…It couldn’t be, but maybe it was simply falling for him without realizing it. Well, it was the only explanation that came up in his mind. After thinking up and overcoming his pride, it was hard to admit that it was true. However, the next question is how to handle this? The confession may be the right solution, but how and where? After a while he found the right answer and decided to give a try, besides, it can’t end so bad, can it? So, one day, which seem like any other day Kyo decided that at least he would make that confession in the most delicate way he knows. According his plan, he should met up with Shingo in destination place for ‘something important’ ,so, now he need to await for him. Speaking of which, that Master’s call out of nowhere made Shingo worried, because Master Kyo has been acting too strange and being bothered by something. Maybe he finally decided to get rid of him, because he was such a burden and his presence already fed-off. So, that’s why he would do this in at least more humane way and just tell him directly. Finally, the time has come and both met up like agreed. Both of them were quiet for a while until Kyo was the one who broke down the silence between them and approached toward Shingo. Of course, he was prepared mentally himself for the worst case scenario, but still was afraid of this. After all, at least, he could still have those memories, right? So, it should be fine even being left with this. So, taking a deep breath, he already accepted being rejected and now waiting until this would end soon. His Master just turned his gaze away and tried to hide that rising heat in his cheeks and finally said in quiet and embarrassed tone‘‘ *sigh* Umm, you know, how to put in words…Well, listen, what I called you here was to tell you - ’’. Now it was the moment when Shingo life finally gonna be over and he froze in fear yet hoping it would just end fast. So, he could only close his eyes and await for the next. However - ‘‘ Just take this !’’ by those words, Kyo just picked something small and shiny from his pocket and handed over to Shingo ‘‘So, there…’’ and lowered his head. At first Shingo was left in surprise and didn’t understand what just happened right now. He just looked at his Master, then to the thing that Kyo handle to him. Finally he realized that it's a button from his adored master’s uniform. (‘‘Just what does it - ’’) though Shingo, but it didn’t took long to figure out what was happening. Now the confusion was changed to overflowing happiness and relief, so, he couldn’t control himself that moment and simply just hugged his precious Master tightly (‘‘So, Master Kyo felt the same? …wait, WHAT?!...Calm yourself, just calm yourself!’’) thought Shingo, but soon he was returned from the clouds as heard how Kyo said . ‘‘Hey, at least could you give some space to breath, okay? It’s kinda hard right now.’’ and after being released he could finally regain his breath and continued ‘‘Well, if you want, we can go somewhere and celebrate this. Don’t worry, this time it's my treat.’’ and patted Shingo’s head. After this, both went to Kyo’s favorite place and it was only the beginning of their story.
