Okay, this idea is only a very small representation of my feels about Beppukin, but it's where the ship really began for me. I don't think I can do the scenario proper justice without heavy spoilers, but this particular snippet only makes sense in the context of the AU I wrote it for. It's a season 2 rewrite that piggybacks off the season 1 rewrite I'm still working on.
The final showdown naturally happens in a significantly different manner.
When Kinshirou outstretched his hand to them, seeing something of his previous self in them and wanting to guide them to redemption, the twins saw some hope for themselves. So, Kinshirou becomes a mentor to them and they dote on him with the full force of their affection. This scene then takes place immediately after the VEPPer concert at the end of the season 2 finale.

“Kusatsu-kaichou~!”
Two excited voices called for his attention in unison and, when he turned to find the source, the twins were already beside him with their hands clasped at their chests and looks of pure adoration and utmost respect in their eyes.
“Did you see us? Were you watching? What did you think? Did you like the show?”
They left so little space between each question that he would have had trouble distinguishing who had said what if he hadn’t been looking directly at them, but he was getting used to this habit of theirs.
“I could never fully bring myself to understand anyone’s fixation with pop music,” he confessed.
For a moment, the twins looked worried as though they had disappointed him somehow.
“But…” Kinshiro cleared his throat and forced himself not to betray his embarrassment by looking away. “I did enjoy it.”
And when the twins’ smiles returned more brightly than they had been before, apparently more than satisfied with that measly answer, Kinshiro was positive he was blushing.
Aaaah, I should have known I’d get the hard ones right offthe bat. XD Thank you! To keep things simple, I’ll stick to Boueibu shipsbecause… this is a feeding ground for me, so I have a lot of ships to thinkabout. <3
Feelfree to send me more Controversial Shipping Asks
💔Shipthat makes you sad: My heartcries over all of my ships because I can never escape the angst. XD But I’mgonna already break the Boueibu-only rule I set for myself and name a ship fromCoffee Prince.
I ship SunKi and Ha Rim so hard, and it makes me sad because they’re so freaking cute andI’m like only one of three people that I know of who actually ship it and I canonly manage to find two fics for this ship (both of which were so beautifullywritten, too, I feel so blessed). *cries forever*
💖Shipthat needs more love: Now, backto Boueibu… Basically all of my side ships/rarepairs. My multishipper hearthas so many. I could say some really obvious ones (like the Press Society orthe various Loveless ships because please;;v;;), but my heart is calling to me to nominate a ship I recently consideredand fell in love with…
Megawa andthe first-year triplets from S1E3~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Cuteundercover badass Megawa and his legion of love! I mean, how freakingadorable?! The mental image of the triplets excitedly running up to him to givehim cuddles when they see him, and the four of them running Megawa’s honeystand together is the most precious thing to me. And I could go on about thesefour andthe scenario I have in my head about them forever, but I think I’ll cut myself off here because otherwise this postwill never end. ;;w;;
💢Shipthat is most misunderstood: Beppukin and Beppuyumo
I’m not sure if these are exactly “misunderstood”ships or if it’s just the fact that I like them that seems misunderstood, but Ireally do like them (platonic or romantic) and I want to talk about it. For me,both of these ships are situational… like a lot of my ships are. In an AUsetting where certain things went differently and/or with a lot of charactergrowth from everyone involved, I feel like the dynamics in these ships have alot of potential to be something really cute… as I will proceed to brieflyexplain under a cut just to be safe.

What I really love about Beppukin is the potential forKinshirou to become a sort of mentor to the twins. The twins following afterhim at his heels all the time and Kinshirou acting as though he’s annoyed by itbecause it’s his duty as the Student Council President to take them under hiswings, but secretly he enjoys it and is more fond of them than he’ll admit. Ofcourse, everyone else knows and they’re not buying his excuses. But whetherromantic or platonic, I feel like they’d fit well together and I just have alot of feelings about them in general that I won’t go into detail about becausethen I’d REALLY never get to the end of this post if I had to explain an entireAU setting. //shot
But basically, Kinshirou deserves to have so much love andaffection and attention focused on him, okay? And the twins are shameless withtheir adoration and their attention, so Kinshirou wouldn’t have to feel insecureor like he was being abandoned. Kinshirou wouldn’t take advantage of the twinsor try to make them do things they aren’t comfortable with either. He wouldrespect them and want them to respect themselves as well, so they wouldn’t haveto put on that act around him. Also,Kinshirou wouldn’t let them get away with unhealthy behaviors, so no moregetting off without a scolding. These three can each be overbearing in their ownways, though, and it would be something they’d have to get used to, but overtime they would learn how to respect each other’s space and adjust to eachother’s individual routines. But the thing that really got me hooked on thisship while I was plotting an AU was how, considering the similarities of whatKinshirou and the twins went through and how their character arcs developed, theycan understand each other and continue to grow and redeem themselves together(with the twins under Kinshirou’s guidance).
As for Beppuyumo, I love how cute and fluffy it has the potential tobe. They fillthat vulnerable space that each of them has. Especially how Yumotohas enough love to make up for what the twins lacked from other humans all thistime and the twins have a lot of affection that Yumoto needs from someone otherthan his brother.I also think it’s adorable how Yumoto wants someone to cuddle with and thetwins seem to be the only ones (at least at school) who like it. So, becausethere’s two of them and they’ll actually cuddle Yumoto back, Yumoto getstwice the affection. And when Yumoto doesn’t stand up for himself, thetwins could stand up for him. They’re a lot more direct when it comes to that sort ofthing, so they’d want to make sure that he’s okay and that people don’t getaway with just stepping all over him because he doesn’t want to fight. Ofcourse, a lot of character development and/or an AU scenario that I don’t feellike describing in detail would have to happen to get them to that point, but hellI’m dedicated to my situational ships and the stories that come with them. LikeI said, there’s potential~ >v<
