Periods of silence were a rare treat here.
No war, no gang fighting, nothing to cause a ruckus with. It was like the entire island slumbered. Even the rough waves beating against shore could be heard from Team Satisfaction's hideout.
In the tall, burned out building they occupied, only Yusei was awake in the early morning hours. He tinkered with his Duel Disk, a common activity he engaged in whenever he wasn't participating in team duties. Always making modifications and repairing all of their duel disk's.
He didn't expect anybody to be around at this hour, last night Crow insisted they have a celebration for conquering Satellite. And that celebration included consuming around three days worth of food, drinking beer and swapping stories until the early morning hours. Yusei didn't do much last night; he wasn't so fond of beer or hours of small talk. Therefore, he was the first one in bed. God knows when the rest of them actually trailed off to bed.
As he finished off his usual checks, footsteps approached him. Instinctively, he looked over his shoulder and saw his leader standing at the doorway. Kiryu's content expression changed little when Yusei's eyes fell upon him. He was hoping Yusei would be up now.
"Kiryu?" Yusei questioned.
"Oi, come follow me Yusei." He motioned toward the stairs, leading to the roof. Yusei wondered what Kiryu wanted, but he obeyed his leader's orders without raising a question.
Outside, it was fantastic; most of Satellite was visible from the roof. What made it even more breathtaking was the sun rising in one corner and Neo Domino in the other. The brilliant shades of orange, yellow and purple blanketed over the sky, creating a polarizing backdrop. To top it off, it was still silent so that Yusei could observe the view without a distraction.
He was so wrapped up in his own center of thoughts and the clear morning, he didn't notice two arms wrapping around his waist. Not until Kiryu's body pressed against his did he become aware of his leader standing directly him. Despite not being a person who liked people touching him that way, he didn't mind, it was Kiryu after all and someone he admired.
"Its beautiful, isn't it?" Kiryu mused right above Yusei's ear.
"Yeah…" Yusei responded back.
It would be one of the few calm moments they would share together.
