Gurls Just Want to Have Fun
Author's Note: Inspired by the recurring instances of characters mangling vocabulary in both the original and dubbed iterations of the series, as well as Rally's storyline in the Tag Force 4 video game. Enjoy the story and R&R.

Pairings: Established Rua x Rally. Referenced one-sided (canon) Aki x Yusei.
Summary:
Rua's guiltless, touchy-feely displays toward Yusei land him in hot water with his boyfriend.
Breaking through the smoke front created by Road Warrior's finisher, Fudo Yusei rode his bike up to the Memorial Circuit's starting line, 200 Life Points remaining versus Crow Hogan's zero.
"Way to go, Yusei! Kak-kaching!" Rua hippity-hopped into his lap.
"It was a good battle, buddy." Crow parked the Blackbird beside them. "Your D-Wheel lagged during that last turn, though."
He agreed. "Once more around the stadium to be sure."
While Yusei and Crow carried out their maintenance check, the boy revisited the pit lane where his sister, Jack Atlas, Izayoi Aki, and Rally Dawson were warming the bench.
"Er, what's wrong, Rally? Aren't you excited Yusei won?" Rua read his annoyed expression.
Rally simply growled.
"Or were you bettin' Crow would win?" Believing Jack gypped Rally with a dishonest wager, the kid gave the King the evil eye.
Jack budged not an inch, and their staring contest ended calculably: Rua apologized to avoid an angry concussion.
His sibling placed a knowing hand on his shoulder. "I think he's just a little jealous."
"Jealous?"
"Of you leaping into Yusei's arms like that."
At the implication, Rua's face did backflips no human visage should ever reproduce. "Rally! Don't tell me you're two-timing me with Yusei!"
Ruka could have smacked herself, but she opted to kick Rua in the shin instead. "I meant you!"
"Ohhh! So, it's like when Aki-neechan couldn't stand Yusei hanging out with Bruno?"
Now Aki had the opportunity to steal Jack's thunder. "Children ought to be silent about adult matters."
"Oops! Aki-neechan's upset. I hope I don't get cobbled…"
"Cobbled?" Ruka blinked.
"Clobbered," Jack corrected. "To 'cobble' is to make a shoe."
"Exactly! Clobbled! That's what I said!"
Rally disregarded the argument – literally, one over semantics – and went to congratulate Yusei, who'd circled in from the infield. Blushing red as his hair and full of admiration, he took his friend's hand and gently stroked his palm, more encomiastic than Rua was.
Her brother audibly choked, and Ruka delightedly pushed his buttons. "They look like lovebirds, don't they?"
"That's something you say for men and women!" Rua used Ruka's own logic against her, then realized he'd dissed himself.
"I don't ever want you to leave my side," Rally romanced the impassive Yusei.
Rua's attitude only worsened after this gushy, deliberately phrased proposal.
Freeing Yusei to conduct the necessary repairs on the Yusei Go, Rally victoriously turned his feminine wiles on a repentant Rua.
"All right, all right! I won't go recklessly throwing myself at other guys anymore!" he reaffirmed his allegiance.
Jack endorsed his maturity. Aki didn't see it lasting, still marginally bitter.
"Come on, Rally!" Rua invited him away. "We can cusmatize my Duel Board!"
"Customize! Customize!" Ruka maintained.
That tears it! She was buying him a dictionary for their birthday!
