Prideshipping week Day 1
Prompt: Role Reversal
Seto Kaiba was never one to complain about his life but this time he had to. He sat against his locker on the floor with a newly formed bruise on his left eye. He winced and got up to limp his way to the nurses office. Along the way noticing the posters for an upcoming duel tournament run by the Sennen Corp. All of them featuring the CEO of said corporation, Yami Sennen. He wished that his life didn't have to be this way. All he wanted was a friend or two. But it never happened, everybody at school knew he was gay and wanted nothing to do with a faggot. He shook his head as he finally got to the nurses office and went in.
*Time Skip.*
Seto now stood in the city square with his Duel Disk on his arm. He had applied makeup to the bruise around his eye to cover it up, though he didn't know how long it would last. He was pulled from his thoughts when a truck with a Sennen Puzzle on the side rolled up. The door on the side opened and the man himself stepped out, Yami Sennen. The Sennen Puzzle he always wore standing proud on his chest. He scanned the crowd for a few minutes and then walked through it, right up to Seto. Seto bowed his head a little to the taller man who shook his head and lifted it back up by his chin. Seto winced a little because in doing so it disturbed the bruising around his eye. Yami frowned and looked closely at Seto,
"What happened to you young one." He asked. Seto didn't reply right away, he was trying to think of an excuse but couldn't find one. So he told the truth,
"I'm bullied and beaten at school. I'm gay and apparently that's the end of the world." He said quietly. Yami's frown deepened a little and he let go of Seto's chin. Then let his hand drift down to rest on Seto's shoulder,
"Well, I'm excited to see what you bring to this tournament. What's your name?" Yami asked,
"Seto Kaiba." Was all Seto replied with. Yami nodded and took his hand off of Seto's shoulder,
"Well Seto Kaiba. Would you like to have a duel, I want to see your skills?" He asked. Seto was shocked, he actually wanted to be dueled. Any other duel he had been apart of he had been apart of our of obligation. It took him a minute to think it over before he slowly nodded, Yami smiled waved his hand at his bodyguards to make room in the crowd. However one came up to him instead,
"Are you absolutely sure about this Mou Hitori No Boku? It will show him your true colors." He asked, placing a hand on Yami's shoulder. Yami smiled and placed his own hand on the other's,
"Worry not Aibou, it will be fine. Now go help Jounochi clear the crowd." He said. Yugi sighed, looked at Seto a moment then nodded and went to help the other bodyguard. Seto looked at him as well then to Yami, who smiled again,
"My little brother Yugi. We're just very close." He explained. Seto nodded and pretty soon the square had room in it for the duel. They walked to opposite ends and activated their dueldisks. Seto took his deck out of the box attached to his pantleg and slid it into his disk, the life point counter appeared and the duel had begun.
*Time Skip...again*
"I play polymerization to fuse the two Blue Eyes White Dragons I have on the field with the third in my hand to form the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon." Seto yelled and formed his ultimate monster, he wasn't confident that he would win this, in fact he was very much sure he wouldn't. He only had about 500 life points left while Yami had 1500, but he sure as hell wasn't going down without a fight.
Seto chuckled as his life points hit 0. He knew it would end with his loss, Yami had somehow managed to call forth the unstoppable exodia and defeated him. He was still looking at his feet by the time Yami got to him,
"That was a good duel. Thank you for that. I hope to see you again." He said sarcastically. He had turned very smug by the end of the duel and Seto suddenly realized what Yugi meant when he said the duel would show Yami's true colors. Yet Seto couldn't bring himself to care, he would just have to try harder the next duel. He looked up at Yami and saw with that smirk on his face and just smiled,
"The next duel that comes around, I'll try even harder to beat you. And wipe that smug grin off your face." He said challengingly. Yami's smirk only widened,
"Heh. I look forward to it. Later loser." He said as he walked away. Seto stood there for another minute before he realized what he had just done and blushed profusely, but what he had said still rang true. He would try even harder next time, and even if he didn't want to admit it. He was excited to Yami again.
Hey guys. I think I did ok on this. As it says in the summary its Tumblr Prideshipping week and I decided to a series of fics based on the prompts of the week. Today's prompt is Role Reversal, where Yami is a rich spoiled brat and Seto is an aspiring Duelist who gets bullied at school.
I like that I got both Yami's original personality and Seto's original personality together in Yami. I also like to think of Yugi as Yami's little brother so there's that. I also forgot to incorporate Mokuba into this somehow, so imma just say now that he is still Seto's little brother.
Stay tuned for day 2 tomorrow.
