"W-w-will you be my waifu?" / "What!? No, you baka! We're just friends!"

WHAT RAY SAID

I'm looking through the playground to find somebody to play hopscotch with, but this one dork keeps staring at me.

It's kind of creepy to be honest. I try to ignore him, but he keeps staring at me with a pair of yellow eyes, which, for some inexplicable reason, have demonic slits instead of pupils.

I close my eyes for a moment and turn around quickly, hoping to get him out of my field of vision…

…and that's when our eyes meet.

He's not unattractive to be perfectly honest. Actually, he's kind of cute. But the way he keeps drooling as he stares at my…my…"HEY!" I shout, "My eyes are up here!"

"H-h-h-hi." He stutters as his eyes quickly dart up to my face.

"Hi?" I reply, wondering what is going on.

He responds as if what I just said is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to him.

"She didn't call me freak! She didn't try to exorcise me with a wooden cross! She didn't throw holy water at my face!" he exults, jumping up and down with glee.

"So uh…what's your name?" I ask, trying to stay civil.

Suddenly he looks like he's going to panic.

"She asked me what my name is!" he whispers to himself. "Should I tell her what my name is!?"

"No fool!" He snarls to himself, "Precious must not tell foolish mortal girl Precious's name!"

"But I like her!" the boy protests.

"Are you okay?" I ask, backing away slowly. Did this guy wander from an insane asylum?

"It's Zarc!" he replies, looking embarrassed.

"What?" I ask.

"My name." He mumbles, a blush spreading over his face.

Zarc? I can see why he's embarrassed. It reminds me of how I used to be teased over my own silly name. Instantly, feelings of sympathy cause me to completely forget about all the weird vibes I'm feeling from this guy and embrace him.

"Oh I am so sorry you have a funny name!" I cry, patting Zarc on the back in order to comfort him. "LET'S BE FRIENDS FOREVER FROM THIS DAY FORTH!"

"W-w-w-what's your name?" Zarc asks as I pull away from the hug and take his hands in my own. (Okay, if I'm being completely honest with myself, this guy is REALLY cute).

"Oh…uhm…it's Ray." I reply. "You know…like…like a ray of light. A ray of light which is one day destined to rise up and oppose the darkness of a demon that threatens to destroy the world. That kind of Ray."

"Oh." Zarc replies, nodding his head in agreement.

There is an awkward silence afterwards.

"Will you be my Waifu?" Zarc asks, looking hopeful.

I'm honestly taken aback by this.

"What!? No, you baka! We're just friends!" I reply indignantly.

"Oh…uh…okay." He replies awkwardly.

Just then, my dad, Leo, and my mom, Horakhty, arrive to break the tension.

"Whelp, I've gotta go!" I apologize, waving to Zarc before Leo scoops me up in his arms and walks me out of the park. "I'll see you later!"

Yeah…I'm probably never gonna see him again.

WHAT ZARC HEARD

After three years of staring through her bedroom window at night, going through her trash to collect all the pieces of chewing gum she had thrown away, and weaving every strand of hair she had ever shed into a tapestry of her, I've finally plucked up the courage to stare at her in broad daylight at the park.

She's even more beautiful than the photos I glued into a massive collage of her face.

So breathtaking, so perfect, so unlike the ugly demons who have raised me. I could stare at her face forever…which I am technically doing at the moment.

Yep, this is one of the few pleasures I have in my life. Nobody really wants to be my friend, or even speak to me, except for my dragons. Did I mention I talk to dragons? I like talking to dragons, and other duel monster cards, but the voices in my head are telling me not to elaborate on this any further. I don't want to get them mad at me again. Boy do I love talking to dragons.

She turns her head away and I immediately react, running around as fast as I can in order to keep eye-contact with her utterly beautiful face.

But just as I'm about to make eye contact with her again, I stumble in the sand, and I end up glancing down at…at…what on earth are those things on her chest? THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL!

For what seems like an eternity, I can only gaze transfixed at the orbs underneath her shirt. Instinctively, my hands begin twitching when…

"Hey…" the girl of my dreams calls in an utterly beautiful and angelic voice, "you should stare at my beautiful face instead."

"Yes my queen!" I internally say to myself before complying with her demands.

When I look into her face again, my mind immediately goes blank. How can anyone be so beautiful!? I can't blow this! I have to say something! I HAVE TO BECOME ONE WITH HER!

"H-h-h-hi." I lamely stutter.

What a stupid response! I might as well have just told her that I like talking to dragons! I can see what will happen now! Now she will be trying to drive a stake through my heart like that one lady did just yesterday!

But despite my expectations, the girl does exactly the opposite.

"Hi." She breathes, long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings as she gazes upon me with eyes that sparkle like diamonds.

I can't believe what is going on! SHE TALKED TO ME…AGAIN! AND NOT JUST TO SAY HOW SHE WAS GOING TO KILL ME! I begin rejoicing at my wondrous fortune when she asks me a question.

"So…hotstuff." She breathes, "What's your name?"

Oh I am so turned on right now, but why did she have to ask me that question!? My name is literally demonic for, "One who will destroy the world by using Astrograph Magician to fuse into Odd-Eyes Dragon, Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, in order to form Supreme Dragon King Zarc!" (Yeah, demon names are oddly specific that way).

"She asked me what my name is!" I whisper to myself. "Should I tell her what my name is!?"

"No fool!" The voices in my head reply, "Precious must not tell foolish mortal girl Precious's name!"

"But I like her!" I tell them. And it's true! The voices in my head could never understand my feelings.

"Have no fear!" the girl reassures me, looking upon me like an angel. "I am the perfect woman of your dreams! I will never judge you as a demonic lunatic based on your name!"

Her words give me the strength I need to reply.

"It's Zarc!" I reply, hoping she won't laugh.

"What an interesting word." The girl muses, "And do tell me, handsome boy who I am totally attracted to, what is the significance of this…Zarc?"

"My name." I mumble, a blush spreading over my face.

I expect the girl to push me away, to reject me like everyone else has. But to my utter astonishment, she does exactly the opposite again! Sighing with joy, she rushes forward and enfolds me in her arms, delicate hands caressing my back as she does.

"Oh my darling Zarc!" she exclaims, "I love you even more now that I know your name! LET'S GET MARRIED AND HAVE FOUR KIDS TOGETHER!"

I HAVE DONE IT! I have conquered her heart! I knew I could do it! My dragons told me I could! But now I must know her name!

"W-w-w-what's your name?" I ask as the beautiful angel takes my hands in her own and gazes upon me with a loving expression.

"It is Ray." She sighs, "The very same as the rays of light which stream from the heavens, lighting the hearts of all with their heavenly glows just as I am lighting up your heart with my own heavenly glow, my beloved!"

"Oh." I reply, nodding my head in agreement. Really, there's not much more I can say to that. It's such a perfect name.

I hesitate for a moment, wondering if I should take the next step. But then again, she DID practically propose to me a few moments ago.

"Will you be my Waifu?" I ask, looking hopeful.

Ray seems to consider for just a moment.

"The time has not come yet, my love." She whispers, "When the stars have aligned and my overprotective father gives his blessing, then you can sweep me off my feet and take me to your home in the fiery shadow realm."

"Oh…uh…okay." I reply figuring that her demands were very reasonable indeed.

Just then, a strange overprotective fatherly figure scoops my darling angelic Ray into his arms while a tall angelic woman glares at me. I hiss as the dad holds up a cross and carries her off, but I still manage to catch Ray's last words as we get separated.

"Come back to me, my love!" Ray calls, "Have no fear! We shall meet again!"

"Yes!" I tell myself, even as the voices in my head advise me against it. "With the help of my imaginary duel monster friends, I will find you, and then we shall become one! WE SHALL BECOME ONE!"

NEXT TIME ON "LIGHT AND DARK, BEGINNING AND END, CHEESECAKE AND DIET!"

"You're not supposed to KILL your opponent's when you duel! Gee, Zarc, were you taught ANYTHING!?" / "Be a good sport and duel for fun? What is this strange morality you speak of?"
