Title: Just as they were, are and will be
Pairing: RyoShige
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: wait, let me check my closet... Nope, don't own them. Unfortunately.
Summary: How people see RyoShige.

A/N: I was writing a birthday fic for Kame, and needed a break. And out came this.

People always thought that Ryo and Shige were the exact opposites, like fire and water, and very much in that order. For years they put up an amazing act that made even them fall for it sometimes. The truth was that they were much more alike than they were given credit for.

Shige was always seen as the smart one. People just didn’t realize that there were different kinds of smart. There was that ”Shige, the bookworm smart law student” -type, no offense to Shige. Then there was the kind of smart Ryo is, using logic and good reasoning, even if it was sometimes realistically a bit off. So, never let anyone tell you that Nishikido Ryo is stupid.

Ryo was always seen as the sexy one. Well, for that he didn’t have any other reasoning than that it wasn’t true. If someone asked Ryo what he thought of Shige, he would never ever say that he thought the other was sexy. If he was asked whether he thought Shige was sexy, he would start fidgeting and give a mumbled reply that no one heard and quickly change the subject. But the truth was that Ryo thought Shige was extremely hot, he was just too shy to say it out loud. He didn’t dare to say it even to Shige, unless he was naked on top of an equally naked Shige.

So Ryo was shy. But so was Shige. He hid his insecurities to his textbooks and kept to himself around people he didn’t know. With Ryo, he was usually much more open than the older one but he got used to it quickly. It was normal for Ryo to blush, look down, say a quiet thank you and, when he finally lifts his head, a small but genuine smile.

Ryo was usually seen as the one who wasn’t good with words, but how do you explain all the beautiful songs he writes? While Shige poured his souls into essays and term papers, Ryo poured his heart out into his music. There isn’t really a difference between them, except that Ryo accompanies his words with a melody.

Even if they were good with words, they showed their love through actions. When Ryo finished his song he would quietly walk to the desk where Shige was writing and put the sheet down in front of the younger. Shige would look up to him and Ryo would give him a peck on the lips. When Shige turns back to look at the sheet, Ryo walks out of the room just as quietly as he came. The next day when Ryo would come home from work after having to stay behind, there would be a beautiful home cooked candlelit dinner prepared to him and Shige would be waiting for him with a shy smile.

In the end, it didn’t make any difference to them what other people thought about them, as long as they were together and happy. No matter what the others said or did, Ryo would love Shige and Shige would love Ryo. They would spend countless of hours together, talking or being silent, shy or straight-forward, giving and receiving gifts, kissing and hugging, cuddling and making love. So as long as they were together they didn’t give a rat’s ass about anything else, they were in their own world.

Just as they were, are and will be.
