Yusei's OCD

Yusei opened his eyes at five o'clock on the dot. Jack and Crow would not be awake for two more hours. That would give him enough time to complete his morning routine. Yusei sat up and reached for the alarm clock on his bedside table. The alarm was already set, but he wanted to reset it and check it like always to make sure it was working. Then, he headed for the bathroom.

The blue-eyed man closed the door, scanning the room he would occupy for awhile. Yusei took off his clothes and folded them neatly. He had only worn this outfit for one day and no oil got on them, so he would wear it again. Before he could jump in the shower, Yusei had to turn the shower head so it would spit out the coldest water it could. Then, he would switch it back to the hotter water everyone preferred.

Yusei jumped in and immediately started running soap over every part of his body. He shampooed his hair just so that his fingers reached every inch of his scalp. After Yusei finished rinsing off the soapy water, he stepped out of the shower and began drying himself off with a rough towel. Just as he was completely dry, except for his unique hair, the boy jumped right back into the shower stall.

He used the soap all over his body again, making sure to hit certain areas on his body precisely. Unlike the first shower, his hair stayed untouched. After Yusei rinsed off once again, he stepped out and grabbed a softer towel to dry himself this time. He peered outside the bathroom to check the time on the small clock. Those two showers alone took one hour. If only Crow knew Jack was not the one racking up the water bill.

After he got dressed and brushed his teeth, the young man went downstairs to eat. But before Yusei could even decide what he wanted, he had to wash the glass and plate he would use to make sure no germs were on them from over night. After he made some toast and eggs, Yusei went down to the garage to start the work on his duel runner.

He walked pasted Jack's, Crow's and his own runner, brushing his hand over them four times. Hopefully, everything would go smoothly today. The last time Yusei did not brush his runner, he ate dirt under an Earthbound Immortal. He walked over to the computer and immediately got to work.

As the morning continued on, Crow and Jack made their ways downstairs to help Yusei with the new engine. The three of them had been working on it for weeks now and had to finish it in time for the WRGP.

Yusei loved looking at computer screen because everything was clean and organized. The world around him was so complex, while the codes in his computer made so much sense.

The afternoon came quickly. Yusei was surprised Akiza or the twins did not show up to see how the work was going. It was Saturday and they were all off from school. What if something happened to them? Yusei took off his gloves and rubbed his hands together. He did that for a few minutes until Crow said something. After that, the raven haired man ran upstairs to wash his hands off. At least there was no oil on them this time.

Thankfully, the twins showed up, so Akiza must be okay. Yusei tried to explain what him and Crow fixed on their runners, but Luna looked confused and Leo did not seem to care. Either way, Yusei liked having them around to be safe.

Dinner time was fast approaching and Jack wanted to head to the cafe across the street. Crow, surprise surprise, denied Jack's request because they were so tight on cash. Where did all of the money Jack had when he was king go anyways? Yusei did not feel like eating. He wanted to check his work four more times to make sure everything was the way it was supposed to be. It would take awhile, but better to be safe than sorry.

Darkness came over the city when Jack and Crow called it in for the night. Yusei stayed awake to finish his final review of the engine design. After all was done and everything felt safe, Yusei went upstairs. He jumped in the shower again, making sure to run the soap over each part of his body four times.

His thoughts started to wonder to how life had changed for him since he had moved to the city. Everything was so different from when he was a kid living on the streets. All he had to do back then was find food, stay warm and duel. Now he had to pay bills, work a real job and deal with Jack and Crow's fighting, which they never did until money got involved. Yusei thought back to the only four people he could trust growing up: Jack, Crow, Kalin and Martha. Then, his thoughts wondered to the four other Signers. He wondered if they would ever have to fight together as Signers again.

Yusei finished up in the bathroom. He jumped in his bed and stretched his arms. He checked the alarm clock two more times before finally going to sleep.
