Happy Pride Month! I decided I just needed to get out a little Trans!Kyouya story, and of course, being myself, I had to bring a bit of KadoGami into it. I am the captain of this ship and I will create content for it and if it's the last thing I'll do!

Not like I'm not used to being the only one creating content for a rare/crack ship (*glances at bruce/justin and bruce/quentin*)

Anyway, this is a 5+1 Thing type of story, and each chapter will be its own thing. The chapters vary a bit in length, but please don't mind that.

I really hope you enjoy!

This is supposed to be shippy, but nothing much shippy happens until the end and even then it's not that explicit, so, really, if you'd prefer this as a platonic story, you can read it as such!


The first time Masamune ever saw Kyouya was on TV. Battle Bladers was popular enough to get a single time slot on an American channel. It wasn't prime-time but that worked, because Masamune didn't need to split his time with Zeo or Toby.

Kyouya was powerful, he could admit that. Powerful and maybe even a bit intimidating. Watching him battle never got boring, and he had to say he was always glued to the screen whenever he was on.

One thing that perplexed him about the other was his style of clothing, though. Everything seemed torn and ripped, but not in a natural way. Not like regular wear and tear, and Masamune wondered of the guy ripped them on purpose to seem cool and edgy.

The bare midriff wasn't necessarily doing him any favors either, even if it wasn't a bad view. Especially when, during one match, the wind made his shirt ride up and revealed… bandages? A frown had spread over Masamune's face when he'd seen that. Was the guy hurt? And yet he was still battling? That was peculiar, and probably not very good, but Masamune had to admit that he was a bit impressed. He had to meet that guy, and he had to battle him.
