Air Kiss
The air kiss is a sophisticated gesture you can use as a greeting to your friends and relatives. To give one, rest your cheek against their cheek and make a kissing sound with your lips.
Yuui is quite fond of his brother. He is also quite fond of anyone his brother likes. As long as said person doesn't ever hurt his brother, that is.
He returns from a vacation in Europe just in time for the new term to start. Fai is, naturally, incredibly happy to see his brother home. Fai covers his twin in kisses the moment they touch, and once they have hugged, neither is particularly keen to let go.
Yuui notices a man standing in the distance. "Kurogane?" he calls, and the other teacher slowly approaches.
"Hello, Yuui," Kurogane greets. "You've taken my leech from me, not that I particularly mind." He motions to Fai, who is standing with his arms wrapped protectively around his brother.
Yuui chuckles. "I have, haven't I?" He extends his arms toward Kurogane, and the gym teacher reluctantly comes forward. Yuui leans in and kisses the air by Kurogane's cheeks, and the other man rolls his eyes at the kissing sound. "A habit I picked up while in Europe," he explains at Kurogane's questioning stare. "Fai, it's time to let go," he chides gently, hugging his brother once more then prying the other man's arms from around him. "I need to talk with Kurogane about this year's schedule, so could you head inside and tell Yuuko we'll be a few minutes late to the meeting."
Fai looks between the two and nods. "Don't be too late, or Yuuko will be angry," he sings as he walks away.
Yuui turns back to Kurogane. "So. You and Fai. I have to admit, I never thought you'd give in," he says, voice somber. When Kurogane says nothing, he continues. "He's loved you for a long time. If you hurt him, I'll never forgive you. My brother is a bit immature, but he will always be loyal. He won't play games with you, so don't you dare play games with him."
Kurogane huffs and stares down at Yuui. "I'm not afraid of you, Yuui. I don't want to be on your bad side, but you don't scare me. If I had say one of you scares me… I would say it's Fai. He's the one with the potential to hurt me. And why are you laughing, you asshole!"
"I'm sorry," Yuui says with a grin. "I'm just happy to see you're serious about him. I only want what's best for Fai, and it seems that's you. So stay with him, and make sure he keeps smiling."
Yuui smiles to himself as he walks away, leaving Kurogane glaring behind him.
It appears he can continue to be fond of Kurogane after all.
