(A/N): Yes. Shame on me for not working on my other stories. Don't worry, I'll get to them. I don't like leaving stuff unfinished. But this plotbunny was eating at me ever since I watched 52, with all those adorable kidling flashbacks. That and some crackish discussion with friends spawned this. It's just a quick oneshot, mostly young!Jack/Yuusei friendship.


A Tray of Brownies

A Yu-Gi-Oh!5D's Fanfiction

Well. This was certainly an odd sight.

Yuusei was walking around in Martha's apron. Out in the open.

What was more unusual was that he had a baking pan full of some sweet-smelling treat.

The whole getup served to make him look like someone's housewife. Now, it wasn't unusual for Martha to teach her kids a lesson every now and then; but to see somebody willingly go around in her heart-shaped apron was something Jack and Crow never expected-especially from Yuusei.

"…What the hell are you doing, Yuusei?" Jack demanded.

"I asked Martha to teach me how to cook like her," Yuusei replied in his usual manner-of-fact tone. "We made brownies. You guys wanna try some?"

"…Y'know cooking's for sissies, right, Yuusei?" Jack asked back, causing Crow to choke over his brownie as he convulsed into fits of laughter.

"Martha's not a sissy though, is she?" Yuusei replied calmly, snatching the tray of brownies from Jack's grasp.

"Besides," he continued, "being able to cook is a useful skill in a place like here, where you don't know where your next meal's coming from. You always said you wanted to live on your own when you were bigger, Jack. How are you going to do that if you can't get your own food? You'd starve."

"Nah," Jack said confidently. "I wouldn't starve."

"Oh? How do you know that?" Yuusei asked, almost teasingly.

"Cuz," Jack grinned. "You wouldn't let me starve, Yuusei!"

Yuusei gave Jack an indiscernible look, then huffed childishly and left. Jack grinned triumphantly.

He had left the tray of brownies behind.
