A/N- Hello! Riya-chan here! I wrote this because I think the song fits Shishou and Kyo's relationship very well. Even if I personally can't express it well, if you read the lyrics you'll get what I mean. This takes place before Kyo meets Tohru, and sometime after Shishou takes Kyo in. (I know Shishou isn't his real name, but that's what I like to call him, so yeah.) I hope you enjoy the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket or the song Wonderwall. I also don't know who originally wrote Wonderwall, I've only heard a cover. I apologize.

---------------------------------
Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
When I first offered to take you in, it was just because I knew what I had to do to repair my guilty conscience: take in the cat. But now, I find myself caring about you.
Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
You are so broken, Kyo. Your heart seems heavy. Have you realized this? I want to help you. I want to fix your problems. I want to be there for you.
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how
I love you, Kyo. You're like a son to me. I'd like to tell you this, but then I think back on the time you were so upset, saying, "He's not my father!"
So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Maybe someday you'll be strong enough to walk on your own. Maybe someday, when I'm in trouble, YOU will be strong enough to help ME as I want to help you. That is all I hope for, my dear son.
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
Why, Shishou? By now, you should've realized it was a mistake to take me in. All you get is criticism for taking me in, and you shouldn't have to put up with that. I care too much about you to see you endure this.
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how
There's something I'd like to say to you. I want to be brave enough to call you my father. I want to be brave enough to say, "I love you, Father." But… that would cause you too much pain.
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me.
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I want to be saved by you. It's selfish of me, but you are saving me time and time again. I should stay out of your way. But maybe….
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me.
And after all
You're my wonderwall
You're giving me what I need. You do what's best for me. You are saving me. I don't deserve this.
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me.
I give up. I can't help it. I'm going to ask you. Please save me, shishou.
