"Ne, Tsuna. I haven't seen Gokudera in a few weeks? What happened?"

"Um… I think he got depressed and locked himself up in his house. I tried calling him a few days ago, but he muttered something about Pokemon and hung up…"

"Pokemon? Cool! I'll go over to his house and play with him! That'll cheer him up!"

"Um… do you think that's a good idea?"

"Yup!"

"O-okay…"

KHRKHRKHR

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Let's play Pokemon!"

The cigarette fell out of Gokudera's mouth.

"What the hell…? Leave me alone!"

"I brought my DS!"

"Tch… Like you know anything about strategy."

"So you're saying you're not afraid I'm going to win, right?"

"What? No."

"Then why won't you play with me? Are you scared?"

"HELL NO. Come in."

Yamamoto grinned widely as he stepped in the apartment.

KHRKHRKHR

Player Yamamoto sent out YO MAMA!

Gokudera stared down at his DS in disbelief. Looking up, he growled to Yamamoto, "When I look down, I better see a fucking Milotic or something." "Um, well, it's kind of, er…"

Gokudera glanced down at the game. "A Snorlax. A fucking Snorlax."

"It was a trade from a friend?"

"I'll check on that later."

Player Gokudera sent out Lucius!

"Lucario. Niice."

Lucius used Force Palm! It's super effective! YO MAMA fainted!

Gokudera grinned.

Player Yamamoto sent out YO MAMA!

Gokudera glared at him hard. "Itwasalsoagiftfromafriend," he explained quickly.

"Who in their right mind names a Nosepass YO MAMA?"

"My friend?"

Lucius used Force Palm! It's super effective! YO MAMA fainted!

Player Yamamoto sent out YO MAMA!

Cue scowl. "Is every goddamn Pokemon in your party named YO MAMA?" "Maybe." "When I look down, it better not be ugly." "It's not ugly."

Gokudera looked down and saw a bunny. A bunny that wasn't ugly. Pretty, in fact. It had long, fuzzy ears and held itself in a cute position.

"A Lopunny? That's it, get the fuck out."

"But-" "NO BUTS AND NO YO MAMA'S!"

KHRKHRKHR

"Ne, Yamamoto. Would you have any idea why Gokudera called me out of the blue, crying about how he misses his mom?"

"Zip, zilch, zero, nada, nothing, nope, sorry!"

"Yamamoto, can you look me in the eye and say that?"

"….."

This is what I get for thinking about Pokemon and funny nicknames. Oh well. (I'm alive. Surprise, surprise.)
