Chapter Text
Fuji and her trainer have an interesting relationship; both have a professional air about them, and they regularly feed into one another's banter. On the rare occasion, someone might have caught them holding hands lingering more than usual. To say they fancied one another was quite an understatement, but they had kept PDA to a minimum when it came to training for races or more. But sometimes a wrench gets thrown into the mix.
The trainer is easier to see the signs of jealousy first when she is writing on her clipboard; it's noticeable how others crowd around her trainee to talk about how amazing and charming Fuji is. Fuji would take these compliments in stride, but seeing the small narrowing of her trainers' eyes when someone gets a little too close for her liking gave small amusement to the entertainer with how rare a sight that it. Fortunately, Fuji never made things difficult; she'd be polite and say her plans are spoken for, but when one student was more insistent, Fuji's ear flicked when she swore she heard a pen snap. She looks from the corner of her eye and sees her trainer strolling up to them, having a cheerful smile, but underneath it would make anyone feel a cold shiver up their spine.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt my trainee giving you all her attention, but we have some important training to get back to." The tone was calm, it was stoic and sincere, but Fuji could tell from the light grip on her sleeve and the tail intertwining with her own before releasing.
Fuji waved to her audience as they left to continue training for her next race. " Was my trainer getting jealous?" She couldn't help whispering
"Me? Jealous? Whatever gave you that idea?" was the response given, the repeated flicking of her trainer's tail and ears gave it away too easily, she was dodging the question. Typical when they were in public
" Your pen is destroyed, surprised that your clipboard wasn't broken in the process." Fuji gestured to the ink staining her trainer's dominant hand and couldn't help grinning at the way her trainer's ears perk and tail stills when she gets caught.
" ....I didn't like that person getting too close for comfort. Is all." The answer was plain and simple: she knows Fuji and trusts Fuji with her life. It's the other people who surround her partner that she has absolutely no trust in.
" Your concerns are appreciated, trainer. To put them at ease, I can assure you none have captured my heart as you have." She took her trainer's hand and placed a kiss on her knuckle. Feeling the other uma go stiff from the affectionate gesture is always a treat, exercising restraint in the public eye.
Trainer can't help the small snort," This is acceptable." She looked to the side, but the faint color to her cheeks and flick of the ears is more telling than it should be, it's silly to get jealous when her trainee gets so much attention. This is Fuji Kiseki, of course. A charming actor and entertainer. It's a given that that kind of attention follows but trainer can't help being a little bit greedy, taking a second to see if her trainees admirers had dispersed before pulling fuji close and giving a chaste kiss then a pat on the cheek " Those laps won't run themselves, hop to it show pony" she laughs when her trainee is left stunned and she has to jog off to replace her pen.
Fuji placed her fingers to her lip for a second, heat rising in her cheeks before shaking her head, have to focus on training.
After the training session, Fuji was now resting against her trainer on the couch, said trainer was rubbing her ears.
"I really do think I spoil you" Her trainer comments but there's nothing malicious in her words
There was a subdued hum from Fuji "Well, you always say it's a trainer's job to look after their trainees' health and wellbeing"
"Pampering you and giving you an ear and shoulder massage wasn't exactly on the resume admittedly."
"Neither were those offers after-" Her sentence was cut short with a small yelp, hearing a small snicker before her ear is released
"You make the most precious sounds you know that?" Trainer chuckled and wrapped her arms around her trainee. "You almost make it too easy"
"Was that necessary?" She had to withhold making a sound when her trainer nuzzles into her neck and shoulder "Someone is more affectionate than usual"
"Maybe I enjoy hearing the cute noises you make" A chaste kiss on her jawline, to her shoulder.
"Methinks my trainer is doing this because she was jealous earlier"
"I'm not confirming anything" Trainer was quick to say. The thump of her tail said otherwise
"You aren't exactly deny- ah!" Her ear got bitten again.
"Maybe I was a little jealous" She lets go and went back to massaging her ears. "Can you blame me?"
"You know my heart belongs to you and you alone~" She melts to her trainers' hands.
"Oh, I trust you with my life, its everyone else I don't trust" Trainer said bluntly.
"My poor little pony" Fuji sits up to turn and face her trainer "However could I make it up to my fair maiden?"
Fujis trainer snorted, breaking into a giggle and rested into her embrace " Just let this maiden enjoy her prince"
"That's simple enough" She lifts her trainers chin to give her a pack on the cheek.
~~~~~~~~
There was an interview, and a small gathering afterwards between trainees and trainers after a race. Fuji was talking with the other racers, congratulating them on the hard-fought run, they in kind would congratulate fuji on her victory at the race. though hearing her trainer laugh would catch her attention. It was hard to explain but something about seeing her trainer surrounded by others rubbed her the wrong way, especially when one slaps her trainer on the back for doing her job so well.
"Fuji?" A racer taps her shoulder
"Wh- Yes?" Her attention snaps to her fellow racer.
"Are you alright? You are gripping that a little tight" They motion to the drink she had, the cup creaking in her hand at the threat of coming apart.
"Oh. I'm fine worry not" she said and tries to relax herself. It was fine, she knows her trainer. But that feeling didn't go away the longer the gathering went on, and seeing other trainers swarm her own... Did not help matters when her tail swished in agitation. She politely excuses herself under the guise of not feeling too well and goes to her trainer. "Trainer? Might I borrow you for a few minutes?"
"Hm? Not a..." Trainer felt the words falter, did the area feel colder? She turned and it looked like Fuji was barely restraining herself. "I'll see you guys later" Trainer waved the others off and was almost dragged by her trainee from the party. Once they were away Before trainer could ask at all what was wrong, she felt the wind knocked out of her from a sudden pin to the wall, a sudden grab of the front of her suit and lips on her own. It wasn't small, chaste or quick. It was long, it was demanding and it sent a jolt through her body. Her hands went around her trainee's neck, fingers tangling in fujis hair and responded with as much fervor. If oxygen wasn't necessary Trainer would swear Fuji tried to pull her soul out of her. When the kiss finally broke both trianer and trainee were breathing heavily.
"What" she rasps "Brought this on exactly?"
"Maybe I just wanted to kiss you" Was the fasted response between gasps.
"That was quite demanding for a simple kiss" She retorted, seeing her trainees' eyes were half lidded, and the look made heat pool in her stomach. "Were you jealous of my company with the other trainers?" Trainer was still somewhat dazed but felt a familiar weight pressing into her jaw and neck and a muffled noise "I'll take that as a yes if you don't use your words" she runs her fingers through fujis hair. The racer slowly growing less tense but the grip on her suit didn't loosen
"I may or may not have felt upset from the attention you were getting" The admittance was hushed but not hard for Trainer to hear.
"You are so greedy" She snorts "My pretty show pony getting jealOUS Fuck!" She whined when feeling teeth on her shoulder.
The bite relents and Fuji kissed the mark she left behind to soothe it. "What was that, Trainer? I couldn't hear over your sweet whine"
"I am not apologizing" Her trainer retorts. Said comment earned her another mark on her shoulder, making her hiss then "Greedy"
"Only when it comes to hearing the sounds you make"
Fujis trainer huffed, looks like tomorrow was a popped collar day "You're going to have to let me up eventually"
"Or I could simply carry you~"
Trainers' ears and tail go completely still before ears pin back "You better not-" Her words died in her throat with a very undignified squeak as arms wrap around her and she was hoisted off of the ground; out of instinct she wrapped her arms around her carrier. "Fuji I swear-"
"You shouldn't do that in public Trainer" Fuji laughs while carrying the shorter uma in her arms
Trainer gave a small grumble before whispering in Fujis ear "Then maybe do something to make me shut up" she sees Fujis tail go ramrod straight and speedwalking from the building. Trainer isn't sure she regrets the comment or is fascinated by the effect it had on Fuji. But something told her she was in for a busy night.
