Ya'll can enjoy a small piece of my new one-shot that's comin soon!

ooooooooo

“You aren’t dancing.” Haru says, his voice barely heard over the music.

“Yeah no shit.” Kyo says, taking a second to steady himself– that second cup really settling into his stomach.

“You have to dance.” Haru tells Kyo, his voice booking no argument.

“S’cuse me?”

“You’ve never danced for us before.” Haru says, “When we were cursed. You’ve never got to dance so you should dance now.”

Kyo squints hard at Haru, “You get into the punch bowl you dumb cow? You know someone spiked it right?”

“If you don’t know how, I can show you some steps from my dance.”

“I don’t need you to show me shit, I never danced then and I sure as hell ain’t dancin now!”

They're idiots in love and are going over their respective clalanders like

"Will Monday work?"

"No, I gotta meet Shishou. And plus Tohru has off."

"I thought she was scheduled until late that night?"

"Nah they decided to give her the day off."

"What about Thursday?"

And then! And then! They finally manage to scrounge up a day home together alone, maybe tohru is staying the night at hana's with uo and shigure is at the main house or something and they're so nervous they attract cats and Rats and they can't have the sex because they're so high strung about it all they can't keep their cool and they're panicking because the Rats are eating the fucking condoms get them out of here!

Kyo is a disgusting teenager in love and this is how he knows.

It's painful in the way that it always has been for him. Painful and uncomfortable, a desperate feeling that sits heavy in his bones.

It makes his teeth ache, his stomach queasy and his face hot and sweaty.

Kyo is a disgusting teenager in love and this is how he knows.

He wants more of that feeling, because it ignites something in his belly, a feeling that spreads throughout his entire body. It starts out uncomfortable and stays that way even as something softer, gentler, swiftly moves in.

He wants to be closer to the source of that feeling, despite it all. So he makes up excuses, thinks of anything he can say or do to be closer to it. Because as painful and uncomfortable as it is, it makes him feel light, happy and eventually soft. It warms him from head to toe and he aches to reach out, to touch and tug closer.

It makes a mess of him, emotionally and physically. It makes his head spin, his heart flutter and his stomach ache. It makes his face flush, skin splotchy and clammy.

And yet he glaces over, not paying attention to what he's doing to see if Yuki was watching. If he has his attention or not. He opens his mouth and speaks louder, octaves higher and more forceful, just to make sure he's heard. He's clumsier when he knows he's being watched and graceful when it doesn't count.

He takes it with him when he runs.

He takes it with him when he goes to the store.

He eventually takes with with him wherever he goes.

He listens to anything and everything and after a few years and a few ipods and phones later Yuki unearths it from a box when they move in together.

Kyo comes in to find Yuki sitting in the box-filled room of their new empty house, headphones in and listening to the old beaten up mp3.

It's something special to him, because for Yuki, it's almost like a glimpse into who Kyo really was in the past, someone Yuki wasn't really allowed to know. It's a private part of Kyo that Yuki couldn't get close to, not until graduation, not until that final fight.

It's embarrassing and Kyo screams and tries to snatch it away and Yuki laughs until he cries and absolutely refuses to return it. It's something precious that Yuki holds close now, something that is seems fragile and nostalgic. So he keeps it and cherishes it.

Hey, its the anon from earlier who requested the latest prompt. Ok, so I really don't mean to be rude, and you really can ignore this if you want, no probs, but um.. I guess I would sort of kind of like it if you showed us your ideas before you posted that one? like, I mean the super angsty ones before you chose to post the fluffy one. (That was really good, by the way, It's not that I didn't like it or anything, I really, really did, but when you said angst, and...) I got really curious when you said angst and i started wondering what kind of angst and well... I'm sorry if I took up any of your time for you to be reading this whole tirade, but, well I suppose what I'm TRYING to say, is that I would really appreciate it if you could...I've already said that. Well, um, you get the point. Again, you may ignore this! I will understand and not get mad, or petty or anything. I'm very sorry to inconvenience you! Thank you in advance! Even if you didn't do it, thank you for the previous oneshot! Sorry, now I'm rambling...

Response:

Hewhwhew you like that angst huh? Don't worry anon, angst is what I live for 😉😉🤣

Don't apologize anon! It's 100000% okay! I'm not offended or mad I promise! I'm just shocked someone was actually curious!

Just a fair warning this post might get a little long.

Idea 1. The scene was set up like this Yuki and kyo had met that night in the snow at the banquet but instead of getting angry Kyo decided to stay silent because he was trying to mirror Kazuma and his calmness in the face of an opponent. So he stays quiet and grits his teeth as Yuki gets the courage to approach closer and he talks to kyo about how he wants to be friends. Kyo is shocked and feels like he's being tricked again so he decides to play along with Yuki's game thinking he'll win.

It wasn't a game, and the abuse with Akito only gets worse as time goes on because Yuki draws strength from his friendship with kyo and he stays with Akito longer than he does in the series because he relies so much on that bond. Meanwhile Kyo slowly realizes what was happening and feels terrible and doesn't know what to do or say so he says nothing and runs away because he can't handle the guilt of being wrong and at fault.

Anyway the scene was that Kyo returns from the mountains he ran away to and tries to free Yuki who is in a terrible mental state after being locked in that dark room at first doesn't recognize Kyo and is begging him "Don't look". And Kyo is trying to comfort him and take him out of the room, telling him "it's just me, it's just me."

Idea 2: around the time Akito takes Kyos beads and leaves him transformed in the room, calling him ugly and disgusting and a monster Yuki had heard the cat was in the area and had snuck off to find him. He had hid in that room and was there rhe whole time kyo was forcefully transformed. When Akito leaves Yuki slowly creeps out and kyo screams "Don't look" and Yuki can only say helplessly "it's just me."

Kyo doesn't know at that moment Yuki is the rat and Yuki doesn't want to tell him for fear of loosing Kyo because from that moment they had become friends because Yuki was the first to ever look at kyos true form and accept it.

Idea 3. Kyo gets locked up and it's been years and something went wrong when Hatori had erased his memories and one day the door gets wrenched open and kyo is screaming "Don't look" because all he ever knew was that he was ugly and a monster and Yuki desperately tries to to calm him down by saying "it's just me." But kyo doesn't recognize who he is.

Hey anon! Sorry it took me so long but tbh I had 3 different ideas for this prompt that I battled myself over and over again over it.

All of which were angsty as hell then this morning I took a different approach! I hope it was worth the wait!

"Hey, it's me, it's just me."

Kyo blanches and clings even more desperately to the door, gritting his teeth and applying more pressure.

"That's even worse you dumbass! Let go of the door!"

"But then I wouldn't be able to see." Yuki says all too pleasantly, adjusting his footing to get a better grip on the door.

"You ain't gonna see shit you damn creep! Let go!"

Kyo refuses to admit to the panicked noise he lets out when his grip slips just ever so slightly and the door is wrenched open. He curses, not for the first, nor the second time today the gloves and the girls who have a nack for ruining his life.

Well, maybe not Tohru, she gets a free pass for life.

But the others!

It's their fault he's even wearing this stupid- he's not going to go down like this! Especially in front of that damn rat!

He makes a mad dash for the window and wrenches it open and curses the short skirt and kicks off one of the heels and hikes a leg up anyway, mind focused on a escape when his arm is snatched before he could haul himself up and over the windowsill.

"You really don't want to do that." Yuki says far too calmly for Kyo’s liking as he pulls Kyo away from Kyos only chance at escape.

"Let go damn it!" Kyo yells, feet unsteady and clumsy as Yuki pulls him along. He should have kicked off the other heel, damn it!

Kyo tries to claw at Yuki's grip on his arm, and when that doesn't work he goes for Yuki’s face, shoving a hand desperately over his eyes.

"DONT LOOK!" Kyo shrieks, panic only growing when Yuki snatches his other glove covered hand.

"It's just me," Yuki says gently, "it's just me."

"That's the fucking problem! Let go!"

"Not until you can down."

"No!"

Yuki sighs and it only makes Kyo's hackles rise even more.

"It's just me," Yuki says again, "I sent everyone else away. It's just you and me. So please calm down."

"I dont think so assh-"

"I know what it feels like."

Kyo pauses.

Yuki's face is sympathetic, his eyes soft and his touch turning gentle. "I remember what it felt like to be bullied into a dress and paraded around school without being given a single chance to say no. I heard what was happening so I came right away. I'm not here to gloat or make fun of you. I have a change of clothes for you. So let me help you, this once."

Yuki smiles and he leans forward to kiss Kyo gently.

"Just let me help you." He speaks so softly and pulls the white glove from Kyo’s hand, leaning down, intent to give a kiss to Kyo's fingertips.

"I- I didn't say no." Kyo blurts.

"Huh?"

"I didn't say no. I said yes, okay? I said yes. Because I wasn't gonna let you beat me."

"Beat you?" Yuki asks incredulously.

"You wore that shitty dress all day and didn't complain once! Now that our class is doing an opposite day maid Cafe the boys have to wear those shitty maid outfits so I decided I was gonna one up you and rock the shit out of this outfit so I decided to make mine so that I'd look way better than you did!"

"You made it?"

"The girls helped." kyo grumbles.

"And the heels?"

"The damn Yankee said it made my legs look longer."

"Then- why were you-"

"I wasn't ready okay? My tights ripped and I forgot the stupid bra-"

"Bra?!"

"It helps fill out the front of the crop top so that it didn't look saggy."

"I- I don't even know what to say to all of that."

Kyo let's out an exaggerated sigh and pulls his arm from Yuki's grip.

"It's too late now, you saw everything so there's no point anymore." He hobbles back over to the window and squats, the way the girls taught him to instead of bending over to avoid giving the damn rat a show, to retrieve his other heel.

Kyo puts one hand on the windowsill and lifts his leg to put his shoe on, disappointed he didn't even get to show off how well he could walk in them now that he had practiced over the past couple of weeks.

"I don’t agree." Yuki says, "I definitely feel like there still is a point to it all."

Kyo rolls his eyes and stands up tall and looks over his shoulder to tell Yuki to leave so he could change but stops short.
