I hereby vow to make a one-shot of every shipping on the shipping-list (except GX characters). Not in any sort of particular order, category or by any given date. I will however do every one of them, if it takes me the rest of my life.
May the gods help me, I'm going to need it.
This it Nr. 3 = Buddyshipping.
Enjoy
"We have been friends for a very long time", Honda stated and handed Jonouchi his milkshake.
Jonouchi accepted more than gladly and drank greedily. The cold liquid gushing down his throat the only reply he could give being: "Mhm." He was only listening with half an ear. Battle City was over, he had Red Eyes back and he had just spent a night dreaming yet another nightmare about Marik's back, his mind was preoccupied with a whole lot more than just Honda's talk.
Honda did not notice Jonouchi's lack of attention, he just took a small sip from his milkshake before continuing. "And during that time I have seen a lot of things you truly suck at."
That much Jonouchi did catch. He spit out his milkshake out of surprise and started coughing loudly, Honda patted him roughly on the back. When Jonouchi was done coughing he turned Honda angrily and shouted: "What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
Honda was not fazed by Jonouchi's expected anger, with a completely calm face he took yet another sip while Jonouchi put on a angry face. "Well, there is a long list of things you are abnormally poor at. Mathematics, keeping secrets, being polite, not getting into fights, delivering papers, being possessed and so on."
"What?!" Jonouchi called out, convinced that his friend had lost his mind. Certainly he was poor at mathematics and perhaps at time he was rude … but now Honda was taking it a bit too far. "How am I poor at delivering papers?"
Honda covered his face with a single hand. Of all the examples he could have chosen from … It had to be Jonouchi to be more surprised when someone claimed he was poor at delivering papers than when someone claiming he sucked at getting possessed. Honda decided not to mention that and answered: "You really suck at delivering papers, every morning when you deliver the paper at our place it is half an hour later than normally so Blankey can't go and get it."
Jonouchi made a face. "If I come when that mutt of yours is home I'll get bitten in the butt again", he muttered sourly.
Honda chuckled. It was true that one of the best day's in Blankey's life had been when he, barking happily, had chased Jonouchi all over Domino before putting his teeth deep into Jonouchi's buttocks. Jonouchi had been understandably pissed.
"So what is the point of all this?" Jonouchi asked, just wanting to get it over with.
"Now I can add another thing to the lists you truly suck at", Honda said, his voice completely level and his face not giving away the faintest hints of a smile.
"And what would that be?" Jonouchi asked, having already clenched his fists to give Honda the hit he deserved if he came with any lame comment.
"You really, really suck at dying."
Jonouchi gawked, not certain if he should hit his friend or not. Honda just kept staring into the distance. From the rooftop of the school one could see most of Domino. Then he turned to Jonouchi, he himself wondering if Jonouchi would hit or not. Than, after a second of deadlock, Jonouchi's mouth turned involuntarily into a small smile. Honda's own mouth was not far behind and their smiles grew and grew until they were both laying flat with laughter.
This was remarkably short for something written by me. I have had this idea for a while, it just never wanted out of my head before.
Please, in the name of everyone who ever started the shipping-list challenge, review
