Yusei had kept his sexual orientation secret from his 2 best friends ever since he was young. Lately Yusei has been really down, so he texts his friend Kiryu for help. How will Yusei tell his friends? And how will the friend he has always been drawn to react?
(AN: this is my first time writing anything to do with 5D's let alone KingCrab Shipping…. Hope you like it! Please review! ^^)
Yusei pulled his phone out of his pocket and stared at is screen. The boy that hardly smiles was once again frowning; it looked as if he was incapable of happiness. He searched the phone book for his friend Kiryu, and sent him a text message. "Hey Bro… I need your help again. It's getting too much."
Yusei always came to Kiryu about things like this. He was the only one that knew his sexual orientation. It had been kept it secret from his other two friends ever since he was small; however he met Kiryu when he was older and he had worked it out. In fact they both were attracted to men and used to 'fool around' so to speak occasionally back in the days of team satisfaction, but it was never anything more than that.
The message tone echoed in the empty work shop space. Kiryu had replied. "Yusei… I think it's time you tell him the truth. This has been playing on your mind since before I even met you, I'm sure everyone can tell your down, it's about time you tell them why that is. He's your best friend he will be fine with it and you know if he's not I will be down there in a flash to sort him out."
He knew what Kiryu was saying was true; he had to tell him and his other friends. But how?
Giving up on working on his D-wheal Yusei walked over to the small sofa by the 'kitchen' area and replied to Kiryu. Which sparked a debate one the best why Yusei could out himself to his friends that lasted hours. Before he knew it Crow and Jack were back from doing to food shopping.
"I am never taking you with me again Jack!" crowed well Crow.
"What? I did nothing wrong!" Jack defended.
"You rammed the trolley in to the guy Jack how is that not doing anything wrong!"
"He deserved it he obviously heard me say I was going to buy that ramen pot, then he grabbed it."
"It's not even like it was the last one Jack and you injured the guy enough for him to be in tears to get that stupid thing!"
"It had a limited edition label I'll have you know! It was special!"
"Yeah that special this poor guy could not have it! You were all like 'Do you know who I am! I'm Jack atlas! The master of faster! The king of turbo duels!"
"That's it Crow!" Lifted his fist expecting is arm to be grabbed by Yusei before he pelted Crow in the face. But it never happened.
Not even the sound of Jacks fist hitting crows face made Yusei look away from his phone.
"Ouch you Bastard! Yusei did you see that? He hit me!" Yelled Crow trying to get Yusei on his side. But still no reaction.
"Yusei?" Jack sat on the sofa next to his friend "You alright mate?" he asked concerned.
"Humm?" Yusei looked up at Jack visibly upset. "Oh sorry guys, I was just texting Kiryu. He's doing fine by the way."
"Well you're not." Crow added.
"Yeah you were that out of it you missed me sock Crow one." Jack said proud of himself.
"Oh did I? Jack stop bullying him." The fakest smile came to Yusei's face. "What food did you get? I'm thinking about eating mine and going to bed I pulled an all-nighter last night working on the bike."
"We got bread, some pasta, Jack's ramen; umm you know the normal stuff." Crow listed.
"Here Yusei." Jack offered his friend one of his ramen as he could tell he was not in the mood to cook.
"Thank you Jack." He replied. Putting his phone down on the arm of the sofa and walked over to the kettle to make his noodles. "In fact I'm gonna take it up with me … thanks guys"
Yusei shoved a pair of chop sticks in his still solid noodles and walked up the stairs to his room.
"He's been getting worse lately..." Crow said worried plonking himself on the sofa next to Jack.
"Yeah I know. He won't talk about either." The too young men pondered over why their friend was so down.
"I keep feeling the urge to check his wrists you know…" Crow commented.
"Crow! Don't say that! That's not cool."
"Hey he's always wearing them long gloves how are we to know?"
"No Crow really stop!" Jack was really uncomfortable talking about his best friend's possible self-mutilation. "Don't just don't."
"Hey I'm just saying it's possible." Crow carried on.
"Well don't I don't like it!" Jack was practically shaking.
"Oh for god's sake wait here!" Crow got up and started to head up stairs.
"Wait Crow what are you doing!"
"Nothing just watch" Crow knocked on Yusei's door. "Yo Yusei! I'm putting a load of washing on got any?"
"Yeah one sec'!" Yusei called from the other side of the door. He opened the door and handed some clothes to Crow. "Here."
"What about your gloves? They look like they could do with a wash." Crow asked winking down at Jack.
"Ah true!" Yusei took off his gloves and gave them also to Crow.
"Thanks Yus'!" Crow said prancing off with a big smile. Once he reached the bottom of the stair case he launched the gloves at Jack. "Nothing to worry about he's clean."
Catching the gloves Jack replied "Good but his gloves aren't have them back!" tossing the gloves back to Crow.
