Kuki and Wally's Get Together Story

It’s strange, really, how long it takes to realize something that’s always been there. For Wally, the feelings he had for Kuki weren’t new—they were just a part of him, buried under layers of teasing, jokes, and the kind of flirtation that didn’t feel like flirt He��d always liked her. Or, more precisely, he’d always loved her in the way that only someone who’s known her as long as he had could. The way she’d light up the room with her smile, how she could turn even the dullest task into something fun, the way her laughter was the kind of sound you wanted to bottle up and keep forever.

But Wally wasn’t good at feelings. At all. They were messy. Uncomfortable. They were something he couldn’t control, and if there was one thing Wally liked more than anything, it was control. His world was built around it—his antics, his jokes, his way of keeping everyone at arm’s length so nothing could get too serious, too close. Especially when it came to Kuki.

For years, Wally managed to hide it. He’d flirt with her in his typical Wally way, a mix of teasing and playful jabs, but the deeper emotions—the things that would make him vulnerable—remained buried. He kept everything on the surface, masked by jokes and sarcasm, but underneath? He knew. He always knew that Kuki was the one who made his heart race in ways he couldn’t explain.

And Kuki? Kuki knew too. She wasn’t blind. She wasn’t naive. She’d known for a long time how Wally felt about her, even before he figured it out for himself. She could see the subtle signs—the way his eyes lingered on her a little too long when he thought she wasn’t looking, the way his voice would soften when he said her name, the way he always seemed to be there for her when no one else was. She had known that Wally had feelings for her, but she never pushed him on it. Not because she didn’t want to know, but because she knew Wally wasn’t ready to admit it—at least, not until he had worked through it himself.

For Kuki, waiting wasn’t difficult. She had patience in abundance. But it wasn’t easy. Watching Wally flirt with everyone but her, pushing her feelings to the side to give him space, even as she held her own emotions in check—it was exhausting at times. It made her feel like she was always dancing on the edge, never quite able to cross the line into something more, always wondering if she was just imagining things, or if he really did feel the same way. But, still, she waited. Because she believed that when Wally was ready, when he finally gathered the courage to confront his feelings, they would be able to take that step together.

It was never a question of “if” for her—it was “when.” She knew what she felt for him. She knew the depth of it, the quiet love that had been growing for years, and it wasn’t going to fade. But for Wally, there was an entire emotional journey that had to be navigated before they could even begin to be honest with each other.

And that journey? It was long.

Things started to shift, subtly at first. The teasing became more pointed. The glances, the smiles, the way Wally seemed to pay attention to her in a way that was different from everyone else—it all started to become more… intentional. It wasn’t so much that Wally changed, but the tension between them grew. There were moments when Kuki would catch him staring, his gaze intense and filled with something unreadable. And every time, Wally would look away quickly, as though he’d been caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to.

But he didn’t know what he was supposed to be doing. He didn’t know how to navigate this. Every time he thought about it—about his feelings—he panicked. He loved Kuki, that much was undeniable. But expressing it? Saying the words out loud? That was terrifying. For someone who had always kept his emotions at a safe distance, saying “I love you” felt like an enormous, crushing weight. What if it made things weird? What if it ruined everything?

It wasn’t until one of their typical arguments that it all came crashing down. It wasn’t even a big fight at first—it was a disagreement about Ace, as usual. Wally had never liked how Ace seemed to always hover around Kuki, always lurking at the edges of her personal space, and Kuki had been getting frustrated with him for treating Ace like a threat.

“Why do you care so much, Wally?” Kuki snapped, her frustration boiling over. “It’s not like I’m dating him or anything!”

The words hit Wally harder than they should have. The thing was, he did care. And it wasn’t about Ace. It was about Kuki—the way he felt when she smiled at someone else, the way his chest tightened when someone else made her laugh. He was tired of pretending he didn’t feel this way, tired of bottling it all up because he couldn’t figure out how to say it.

Without thinking, without even realizing it, the words just slipped out.

“Because I love you, Kuki,” he shouted, voice loud and raw, breaking through the tension like a thunderclap.

For a moment, everything went still. Kuki’s eyes widened, her anger fading, replaced by something more vulnerable—surprise, confusion, and then, something softer. Her mouth opened, but no words came out at first. She wasn’t sure if she had heard him right.

Wally’s face turned beet-red as soon as he realized what he’d said. The silence that followed felt like a thousand years.

“Wait… you—” Kuki began, her voice shaking slightly, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “You love me?”

Wally’s eyes widened in panic. He hadn’t meant for it to happen like this. “I… I didn’t mean to—”

But Kuki just smiled. A real smile. The kind that lit up her entire face. She stepped toward him slowly, her voice gentle now. “You don’t have to apologize, Wally. You’ve been saying it all along, you know?”

That moment was a pivot for them, but not in the way either of them expected. It wasn’t an immediate shift into being a couple. They didn’t suddenly throw themselves into a relationship. Instead, they found themselves at the beginning of something new, a shift from being just friends to something more.

The problem now wasn’t their feelings for each other. The problem was figuring out how to navigate those feelings. They didn’t want to rush it. They didn’t want to spoil it. They agreed to keep it a secret for a while—not because they didn’t want to be together, but because they weren’t ready to share this with the world just yet.

There was something undeniably sweet in the way they tiptoed around each other, the stolen glances, the small touches, the moments when they would whisper words of affection when no one was looking. But it was hard. It was difficult to keep it secret, especially when they were surrounded by people who knew them so well. But they both knew it was necessary. They needed time to figure out what they were doing.

What came next was something quiet but beautiful. They didn’t need grand gestures. They didn’t need a dramatic confession. They had years of friendship, of understanding each other in ways no one else did. And slowly, they started to grow into the couple they were meant to be.

Their love was built on more than just a confession—it was built on years of shared experiences, moments of laughter, fights, and misunderstandings. And while it was slow to start, when they finally took that step, it was natural. Perfect.

And as they held hands for the first time, no words were needed. They had said everything they needed to say long before they ever realized it.

(Just a blurb while I debate if this is the eventual trajectory for the Crash and Burn series. Now to go and work on Crash Pad XD)

Leo doesn’t like to linger on ‘what could have been’s.

There’s no sense to it. 

Just a surefire way to land him in a guilt ridden spiraling replay of all his mistakes. Mistakes he couldn’t afford to make again. Mistakes he refused to make again.

Still, try as he might, his own mind didn’t always like to listen. Poking and prodding and reminding him of all the failures he’d never openly admit to. It was almost a reprieve when he’d get caught up on the minor things. Not that this was minor. Just not as cataclysmically world ending to anyone but him. 

The certainty that, somewhere, there’s an alternate timeline where you and him ended up together. 

Donnie’d gone off about it once on one of his worse days. Manically ranting and raving on and on about various time travel paradoxes and theories. Implications and hypotheticals of Casey Jr. still existing after essentially rewriting his history. All mumbo jumbo sci-fi gibberish that wouldn’t sound out of place in Jupiter Jim. 

Leo hadn’t really followed much of it, at the time. Didn’t seem all that important. 

Now, he’s kinda wishing he’d paid more attention. That way Donnie would have preemptively rationalized all of this away.  Or maybe, Leo’s wishing he’d paid less attention. So these errant thoughts wouldn’t keep cropping up in the first place.

Knowing they’d successfully altered one set of future events had done his anxious tendencies no favors. 

Nor did it help soothe this ache deep in his chest that flared up everytime he caught the way you and Donnie smiled at each other. It didn’t stop Leo from thinking, every time, that should have been him.

You’d run into him first. He was the one who decided to extend the Hamato clan hand of friendship. Donnie had wanted nothing to do with you. Content in the status quo they’d all found themselves in. 

So how was it that Donnie was the one you ended up with?

With a loud groan Leo scrubbed at his face with his hands. He hated this. Thinking like this. Feeling like this. 

Donnie was happy. You were happy. Shouldn’t Leo be happy and content because of that? 

Shouldn’t that be all that mattered?

Instead here he was hiding away in his room like a petulant child because he couldn’t stand another second of hearing you giggle at something Donnie’d said or accidentally catch another glimpse of the two of you happily in each other’s space. 

What had Donnie done right that Leo hadn’t?

It should have been him.

Let me tell you, there’s nothing worse than overstimulation while you’re flipping your lid. I was in the doctor’s office and the fan was too loud and had a full meltdown.

Enjoy this nice little hurt/comfort/fluffy thing I made to cope.

Better Drawn Edits/Commentary

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a better version of my first post—I decided to redraw it and add some commentary to the photos. I also included a brief description of why I designed the character(s) this way. Keep in mind, this is just my personal headcanon and how I imagine them, so please take it with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoy the updated edit!I’d love to hear your thoughts, though—feel free to drop a comment down below if you’d like to discuss any headcanons, design ideas, or how you imagine these characters looking.

So let's get started

Frist up, Abby and Nigel

For Abby, I didn’t change much because I really like her canon design—it definitely gives off that cool tomboy vibe, which suits her perfectly. I did make a few tweaks, though. I liked how she had those golden hoop bracelets in her FusionFall version, so I included a nod to that by giving her one big ring bracelet, similar to what you might see on Sonic the Hedgehog characters. I also gave her athletic jeans/shorts to make her outfit a bit more practical, especially since she’s only 10 years old. I always thought her original design could use a bit more coverage for a kid.

As for Nigel, I wanted to keep the iconic elements of his original design while incorporating some of the more practical and battle-ready features from his FusionFall look. I kept the puffy vest from his FusionFall outfit because it gives him that tough, adventurous vibe and makes him look like he’s ready to take charge. The black fingerless gloves were added because I thought they gave him a cool, tactical touch, fitting for someone who’s always on the front lines and leading the team. I also decided to go with the FusionFall shorts because they make him look more prepared for combat while still being practical for running around on missions. I wanted to keep that balance of both.

Second, Hoagie and Abby

For Hoagie, I actually preferred his canon design over his FusionFall version, but I did take a few elements from both. One thing I liked from his FusionFall look was the fingerless gloves, so I tried to incorporate those. I’ll admit I’m not the best at drawing hands, so they didn’t come out perfect, but I still think they add a nice touch to his look. Another detail I liked from FusionFall was the knee patches on his pants. To make the outfit look more cohesive, I made the patches match his shirt color for a more aesthetically pleasing look. I also darkened his pants just a bit, while keeping the folded-up parts slightly lighter, since the inside of rolled-up pants usually appears a bit faded compared to the outside. Lastly, I changed the "2" on his hat to have a more bubble-shaped design, making it look bolder and more readable. I also colored it blue to match his shirt and tie the whole look together.

As for Abby, this is more of a full design for her outfit. I forgot to mention earlier that I added a small yellow button to her MJs (Mary Janes) to complement the golden hoops and bracelet. I thought it would be a nice little touch to tie the outfit together and add just a bit more personality to her look.

Finally Kuki and Wally

For Wally, I gave him a more rugged, tough-guy look with ripped clothes because I can totally see him always getting his clothes torn up from fighting or just being his reckless self. The piercings add to that rocker vibe I imagine for him—I get the feeling he’d definitely be into rock music, so I wanted to reflect that. One detail I did like from his FusionFall look was the silver pocketchain on his pants, but I took it a step further by giving him two chains linked together to make it look even more like a rocker/bad boy style. He always has a bandage on his face because, well, it just fits his scrappy personality—he’s always getting into fights, so it makes sense for him to be a bit banged up. I also wrapped his hands with bandages, inspired by another artist @kommandonuovidiavoli , to add to that fighter aesthetic.

As for Kuki, I wanted to blend elements from both her canon and FusionFall designs since I really like both. I kept her signature green sweater from the show, but I styled it off the shoulder with a black tank top underneath to give it a more modern and stylish look while still keeping that casual vibe she’s known for. II also gave her a skirt inspired by another artist @hyperfixingfr @spicedwatermel0n (Edited part). He also gave kuki a black skirt, which I loved and wanna to do, so i was inspired by him. hint at her wearing leggings underneath, I made her legs a bit thicker to create that layered look. I always imagined Kuki would go for comfort and mobility, especially since she’s always running around and being active. The leggings not only add practicality but also make the whole outfit feel more complete.

I just think that Jon would like really clear expectations during sex. He wants to get a good grade and he needs to know the rubric okay?

I think Sasha picks up on this and because she is the same, and they meticulously plan their dynamics out.

Only Sasha is the one who is doing the asking because communicating is not Jon’s strong point. Still after many, many surveys, which are both extremely detailed and mortifying to fill out, she has compiled all the information. There’s a whole chart.

Just let these two eye babies have very clear guidelines and rules so that they can both just have fun with no unknown expectations.
