Kuw*ma Romantic Rowing AU

This is chock full of late series spoilers so I'll be putting it under a cut since one of the besties ( @thedragonchilde ) is newly interested in possibly watching Y*H!

This is one of my slightly longer and slightly more thought out Quick and Disorganized AU Idea posts so if you like my AU Shenanigans this is definitely one to check out!

🎉🎉🎉

Inspiration:

I know he'd more likely be on the baseball team but HEAR ME OUT!!!!!!!!!

What if Kaz*ma was on the rowing team in college instead?????

He's got all this time now that he's not tangled up in Spirit World affairs! He may as well put it to good use while staying in shape and ready just in case!

And it's a great back and chest and shoulder and arm and core workout which is perfect for keeping his sword-wielding muscles active and ready (along with weekly training in sword forms to keep skills sharp).

What if Kaz*ma helps his team go to the international championship in 1995 in Tampere, Finland?

What if Kur*ma was studying abroad in Europe that year and decided to go visit him???

What if the crushes/affection they've harbored suddenly Spark because Kaz*ma is old enough for Kur*ma not to feel so guilty about it all anymore?

What if Kaz*ma is the one that actually makes the first move this time around?

He's had enough time and experience outside of their group and with more men and women to have more confidence?

And he feels like Kur*ma would be able to field -and if needed blow off- any advances that he makes while still easily maintaining their friendship, so he has the confidence and drive to pursue?!?!?!?!

What if the initial hints and flirtations go well???

What if he's spent years memorizing flower language and buys the most expensive bouquet of his life (up to that point)???

What if they go on a series of romantic dates and become a couple?!?!?!?!?!

What if a year later Kaz*ma does research on SAFE and Beautiful bodies of water in Makai and he opens a portal and wrangles Yus*ke into helping him carry a dingy and oars and gear through the portal and then kicks Yus*ke out so he can set up on his own. (Yus*ke of course is very supportive but loves poking fun at them and making terrible dirty jokes about what he assumes Kaz*ma plans to do to Kur*ma that has Kaz*ma going red and swinging an oar at him to banish him through the portal while also thanking him for helping with the dingy.

What if Yus*ke had helped by making and packing a nice dessert for their picnic?!?!?!?!

🥺💖

What if he covered it up saying it was his lunch or something?

What if Kaz*ma finds it and a cute heartfelt but simple note from Yus*ke saying he's happy for them and Kaz*ma better not fuck this up! (He's got a feeling Kur*ma is likely planning to step up the level of their relationship too).

GOD WHAT IF KAZ*MA SPENDS ALL EARLY MORNING GATHERING FLOWERS AND FILLING THE DINGY AND GETTING EVERYTHING SET UP AND THE AREA WARDED BEFORE HE OPENS A PORTAL TO MEET KUR*MA AT HIS OFFICE FOR THEIR LUNCH DATE????

Kaz*ma knows Kur*ma can just like, take a half day if he feels like it. So him not coming back after lunch is more of a call to his step-dad's secretary than anything.

(Kur*ma will claim illness/food poisoning and ask that no one checks up on him until the next day please because he just wants to rest! - Kaz*ma opens a portal for cell reception)

God what if they have a super romantic date thats so sweet and then have really hot makeouts and maybe more on the shore and then Kur*ma like Proposes to Kaz*ma?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

And then what was gonna be the hottest and most romantic weekend date he's ever planned turns into the setting for his own engagement right after the sun sets and the stars are staring to be visible?

Kur*ma likely had something special planned of his own but Kaz*ma is such a huge romantic that this honestly blows whatever Kur*ma was planning clear out of the water. (He'll still be using it for his own romantic date plans with Kaz*ma though! No need to let any planning go to waste!)

Oh God I'm caught up in it all!!!!!

🥺💖😭

GOD I JUST LOVE THESE TWO OK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

AUGH!!!!!!!! THEM!!!!!!!!
