First Meeting

A request for ShuxDelta by XxPotato_DuckyxX

Basically, OG Shu/Shu 1.0 and Shu 3.0 meet for the first time. 

What I imagine their first meeting/the days leading up to it was like 

HC: Shu likes black coffee to wake him up, but his usual order at Starbucks or any other cafe would definitely be a Vanilla Latte. Also he sometimes drinks straight from the pot

dunno why i thought of that whAT?

N E WAYS-

LET'S A GO

sorry its late lmao

When Shu first heard of Delta Zakuro, it wasn't that good. 

More like he was watching the Battle Island competition and saw Delta's resonance. 

He swore shivers went up his spine. His resonance was dark, no doubt about it, and it probably would have gotten worse, but somehow in the battle where Master Devolos debuted, his resonance, was fixed? How in the world could that have happened?

Shu thought it was quite absurd, so he kept on watching Delta Zakuro, very closely. 

A bit too close, if you'd ask anyone that wasn't Shu. 

But nevertheless, after many battles, he deemed Delta Zakuro alright, and clear, and he hadn't thought of him until today. 

"Heya Shu!" Came Valt's cheerful voice through the phone.

"Hi Valt." Shu greets cordially. 

"I have a question to ask ya if it's not much of a bother," Valt says. 

"Fire away, I'm drinking my coffee," Shu says, sipping his coffee straight from the pot. 

"Alright. Can you accept Delta as your student for a while? He's kinda been asking a lot." Valt says sheepishly. 

"Uh-" Shu starts, choking on his coffee. 

"Yo Shu! Man, you good there?" Valt asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine with Delta coming over." Shu nods. 

No, the fuck you aren't. 

"Alright then! He'll come in about a week, I'll be coming as well!" 

"Yup. Alright." Shu ends the call, staring at the mess of coffee on the ground. "Damnit."

Delta Zakuro always held Shu Kurenai on a high podium, someone to be respected. 

So when Valt commented about Shu looking for students, he immediately jumped up to the opportunity. 

He wasn't nervous, per se. 

He was meeting his idol in less than maybe an hour? He couldn't wait. 

As the plane landed in the airport, Valt and him start out, and before he knew it, he was in the bustling streets of New York. 

Hooray. 

Delta was a big introvert, so the big city of New York was definitely the worst place for a guy like him.

Valt hailed a taxi, somehow, and then they were off in the New York streets, going to the Empire State Building. 

"So, you excited Delta? Shu's going to be a great teacher, I tell you." Valt says. 

Delta could only nod as they arrived at the famed building. Stepping up the steps felt so surreal, and yet there was this nervous pit in his stomach. 

Rising up the elevator, Delta quietly listens to Valt's incessant chatter, until they reached the top floor. 

There stood Shu Kurenai, in all of his wonder. 

The butterflies multiplied, Delta was actually in his idol's presence. The Shu Kurenai. 

"Hey Valt. This Delta?" Shu questions, holding out a fist for Valt. The two fist-bumped, and gladly shared a hug. 

"Um, hello." Delta manages to choke out from his daze. 

"Hello, Delta Zakuro. Pleased to meet you." Shu says, holding out a hand for Delta to shake. 

Delta took it, shaking Shu's hand. HOly motherfucking shit- "It's wonderful to meet you."

"See, I knew they'd get along!" Valt says, to no one in particular, maybe Valtryek.

Maybe Delta Zakuro isn't so bad after all. Shu thought, shaking the boy's hand. Aside from the fact he almost allowed his Bey to take over him, he was quite the formidable blader, and the Bulls could really use someone of his nature on the team. Shu thought that he and Fubuki would get along well, maybe get both of them a friend. 

"Welcome to the Raging Bulls. We're happy to have you, Delta." Shu says. 

"Thank you. I'm happy to be here." Delta nods. 

Maybe he isn't so bad after all.
