A/N: So, I know this took a while again... and this is rather pointless - just a supplement to the previous chapter, kinda. Well, I hope you still enjoy, lol. And also, would you guys like me to switch this fic to M-Rated? I mean, well, I easily could, but would you guys like it? The basis of the story is some awesome drawings, which were borderline M-Rated, so… If you want, I'll do it, hehe. ;) Speaking of which, this chapter will be borderline M-Rated too. Anyways, please enjoy this chapter! :D
Shifu sat by the Peachtree of Heavenly Wisdom. The tree had always been there, and according to Oogway, it had seemingly always been. Thus, it had always been a thing that Shifu associated with home and it made him feel at peace whenever he was near it.
Shifu smiled and with a blush he snuggled up against Junjie. Sitting with his back against the tree with Shifu in his arms, and looking out at the sunset, Junjie gently squeezed Shifu with a smile.
"What is it?" Junjie asked and looked down at the red panda in his arms.
"Nothing," Shifu said, blushing. He turned his body and nuzzled Junjie. "This morning I just remembered the first time we met."
"So you're getting all sentimental?" Junjie chuckled to himself. "It's already a long time ago, Shifu."
"I know," Shifu said. "It's just funny."
"What is?"
Shifu grinned to himself. "When I first met you, you were kind of intimidating… you were actually kind of a jerk."
Junjie frowned with a scuff. "Hmphf… thanks."
Shifu just chuckled to himself. He then kissed Junjie's cheek. Still chuckling, Shifu said, "But I still like you."
"But what is your point?"
"My point is that I still came to love you," Shifu giggled. "And even after that first impression that you gave me."
"Hmm… I guess I'll take that as a compliment then," Junjie said in a teasing tone of voice and kissed Shifu's forehead. "But you didn't make it easier for me either."
"What do you mean?" Shifu asked confused.
"I… well, I always kind of liked you ever since we met," Junjie admitted, much to Shifu's surprise.
"Really, you did?"
Junjie chuckled. "Yes; my first thought was that you were cute."
Shifu blushed. It kind of surprised him… mainly because he didn't quite see himself as 'cute'.
"In fact, I didn't use to think you could fight just because you were so adorable." Shifu's smile quickly turned into a more dull expression. At this point, he didn't know whether to take it as a compliment or an insult.
"Hmm… is that so?"
Junjie started laughing to himself. "You called me a jerk, little Shifu – this is just some of your own medicine."
In that sense, Shifu supposed that Junjie was right, somewhat. Shifu looked up at Junjie and got eye contact with the red fox. He poked Junjie's nose. "It's funny how people can surprise you, isn't it?"
"Hilarious." Junjie chuckled to himself. He kissed Shifu on the lips, though very briefly. He suddenly hugged Shifu tighter than before. Shifu looked up at his boyfriend in surprise, and much to his surprise, Junjie caught him in a kiss on the lips.
This kiss was a little more intense and deep than those the two had previously shared, and Shifu felt how Junjie was massaging his lips with his own. Shifu also felt Junjie's one hand caress his cheek while they were still kissing.
Suddenly Shifu was surprised even greater when Junjie moved forwards and laid Shifu down on his back. Shifu blushed and felt slightly nervous, but also liked it nonetheless.
As Junjie lay on top of Shifu, Shifu moved up his hands and started rubbing Junjie's back, without even breaking the kiss. Using his arms, Shifu hugged Junjie tight against him, feeling the latter's strong body against his, as well as… other things.
Shifu broke the kiss. "Junjie… we should probably stop."
"Why?" Junjie asked, somewhat surprised. He caressed Shifu's cheek again. "I liked where this was going…"
"Because I think Master Oogway wants to tell us something." Junjie turned his head, and his cheeks immediately became deep red in a blush when he saw his Master watching them. The red fox immediately got off of Shifu and sat up.
"Sorry, Master Oogway," Junjie said, still blushing deeply.
"Don't worry," Master Oogway said with a smile, seemingly ignoring what his two students had just been doing. "I just came to see how you were doing."
This just caused both students to blush madly. That in itself wasn't very embarrassing, but rather, being caught like that was.
"Eh… So that was all?" Junjie asked, still blushing.
Master Oogway nodded. "That and I need to talk to Shifu for a moment."
Junjie nodded and quickly bowed to his Master and left. Oogway slowly approached Shifu, who immediately got somewhat nervous. "Master Oogway, I'm sorry you had to see it, but we… we just got… carried away…"
"Do not worry, Shifu," Master Oogway said with a smile. "What you two do together does not bother me."
Shifu kept blushing. "Then what did you want to tell me?"
"I just wanted to tell you to keep these… actions, more private," Oogway replied. Shifu blushed once more, but eventually nodded, fully understanding. The Peachtree was a sacred place and doing such things were probably a sign of lack of respect, in some way.
…
Junjie had meant what he said to Shifu – about him always finding the red panda cute. When Junjie first arrived at the palace, he was met with the most innocent-looking creature he had ever seen.
Even as he stood there in clothes that were far simpler than those that Junjie and his parents wore, Junjie could sense a form of beauty. Not by looks only, but also somehow Junjie sensed kindness in him.
Kindness hadn't exactly been the virtue that Junjie had learned about the most from his father, but Junjie certainly knew it when he saw it – and this little creature was the embodiment of it.
Junjie chuckled smugly to himself as the memory kept burning in his mind. Having been waiting for a few minutes now, Junjie was pleased to see Shifu emerge from the woods as the latter made his way towards Junjie.
Once together, Junjie caught Shifu in an embrace and kissed his lover's cheek. "So what did he want to talk to you about?"
"Well, about us," Shifu said, before kissing Junjie's cheek with a blush. The two started walking towards the barracks. "He just told me that we should keep it away from the Peachtree."
"M-hmm, fine," Junjie said when the two reached the barracks. Shifu looked at Junjie, due to how it sounded like he didn't really care. He walked closer to Shifu. Shifu blushed and backed up.
With a low yelp Shifu's back bumped against the wooden wall. Junjie walked up to Shifu, closing the space between them. There was no escaping now; Junjie chuckled to himself inside his head.
"Junjie…" Shifu was cut off, however, when Junjie pressed his lips against Shifu's. Shifu had to admit that this was probably the most heated kiss they had shared thus far. Just the way that Junjie's lips were caressing his in a rough, yet gentle manner.
Shifu wrapped his arms around Junjie as he enjoyed the feeling of his lover's body. Before Shifu knew it, Junjie had led him into the barracks. Shifu was then led into Junjie's room.
The room was as sparse on furniture on Shifu's, except a few things that were reminiscent of Junjie's wealthy background, such as a small statue and a fine vase.
After hearing his lover close the door, Shifu turned around and was immediately caught in another kiss. This time Shifu started rubbing Junjie's back. Suddenly Shifu felt daring. Gently – very gently – he started to gently press his tongue against Junjie's lips.
However, Junjie stopped Shifu. The red fox pulled back from the kiss. "Sorry, Shifu, but I think we should wait a little with that."
"Oh," Shifu blushed in slight embarrassment, his ears lowering a bit. Junjie chuckled and kissed Shifu's cheek.
"Funny though," Junjie chuckled, much to Shifu's confusion.
"What is?"
"You're usually not so straight forwards," Junjie grinned. He smirked to himself. "You really do like me, I guess."
Shifu blushed furthermore. He grumbled an answer, which simply caused Junjie to chuckle once more. He then pulled Shifu in for another kiss, this one lasting for a while, though a little less intense than their previous one. In a teasing tone, Shifu asked, "What makes you think I do?"
"A hunch," Junjie replied playfully as Shifu kissed him on the cheek. "But I know that I do like you."
