Shuffle
The surprisingly quiet Sohma house was empty except for Yuki and Kyo. Yuki was currently sitting on the living room couch, nonchalantly flipping through his I-pod. After finally finding an acceptable song, he leaned back on the wall behind him in a rare moment of relaxation.
Kyo, being bored as all hell, walked into the room and quickly spotted Yuki. Normally, he would attack the silver-haired boy, but Kyo was so bored that he just walked over, acting extremely out of character.
"Wanna play a game?" he asked, falling back onto the couch next to Yuki.
Yuki removed one headphone and gave Kyo a suspicious look. "Why?"
"Cause I'm bored out of my mind."
After a moment of hesitation, Yuki finally asked, "What game is it?"
"Shuffle," Kyo answered immediately.
With a confused look casted Kyo's way, Yuki repeated, "Shuffle?"
Kyo almost sighed aloud at the other's incompetence. "It's when you put your I-pod on shuffle and whatever the next song name is, is the answer to the question that I am thinking of. Here, let me give you an example: Say that the next question is what do you love the most, and you hit the next button on your I-pod. Say that the next song name is "Lollipop". Then your answer to the question would be lollipop. Get it?" he gave his best explanation that he could pull out of the air.
"Not quite, but let's play anyway."
"Okay, is your I-pod on shuffle?"
"Always." Yuki rolled his eyes.
Kyo thought for a second. "The first question is…. How do you feel about Tohru?"
Yuki hit the button and smiled slightly, "Waking the Demon," he read from the small screen.
Kyo started chuckling a bit, "Her constant optimistic look on life is pretty demonic. Next question: What do you think about yourself?"
"Collapse," came the one-word answer.
"Your lungs can't be that bad, can they?" Kyo asked jokingly.
Yuki just looked at him, not realizing the hidden joke. "I thought this was just a game."
"Oh yeah."
"What's next?"
"What do you think of me?" Yuki's eyes widened and he blushed as he looked at and read the answer: "Alive With the Glory of Love."
Kyo glanced sideways in embarrassment away from the other. "Oh….."
Maybe boredom isn't so bad after all.
