AN: Bold is for normally listing the clock time that has gone by as Kaito's bet ends at 12:00AM and if he can't fulfill the whole list by then.. he of course loses, but he won't let that happen, right? I actually put who's going to be the next on the list or rather next chapter on the end, I'm going by a list I actually have. I updated sooner than I expected also because an idea was still fresh in my mind.
I don't really ship this either but I'm heading out of my comfort zone with this fic! (I do that a lot! ) and I'm glad I did honestly, oh well!
Pairing: Yuma x Kaito (Photonshipping/Dokidokishipping)
(Time: 9:00AM)
Kaito landed at his destination, he looked upon the list that he held firmly in his hand, and first on the list was Yuma. He wasn't really sure how to go about this, he couldn't say anything about this and he certainly couldn't just ask for a kiss. "Orbital 7 wait here, I have some business.. to do.. " He groaned, and went up to the door as he knocked upon it.
Orbital 7 just jeered "Kissing business right Kaito-Sama! " he saw Kaito's piercing gaze, he stirred away "S-sorry! Won't happen again Kaito-Sama! " He turned and hid away as Kaito continued to knock on the door. Yuma answered the door; he turned and saw it was Kaito.
"Hey Kaito are you here for a duel? Or are you here to hang out? " Yuma said with the same greeting smile, he gestured for Kaito to come in. "Why are you here so early? I mean, I haven't eaten breakfast yet or did you want to stay for breakfast and hangout?"
Kaito just shrugged; this couldn't take to long could it? How hard could it be?
"Yeah sure, Yuma I'll stay for breakfast but can we go up to your room and eat? I want to show you.. some new cards I've added to my deck, yeah! " He lied, he didn't even bring his deck, he just knew he wouldn't be able to achieve his time goal if he wasted too much time at one house, he still had a very long list to complete and so little time.
"Yeah sure Kaito! Let me just tell my sister and grandma, I'll get your food okay? You can head up stairs; I hope you don't mind bacon and pancakes! " He cheered as he ran off to get the number hunters food.
Kaito headed up stairs, he wondered if Astral was around to, he wished he could just get them both over with but that wasn't how the list went, he'd have to come back later to do so.
Kaito waited up stairs, he then saw Astral sitting against the hammock.
"So Kaito what are you here for exactly? You don't normally just come visiting anyone unless it is urgent, did you need something? I've never seen you this worried, you seem to keep glancing at the clock. Are you on a time schedule? " Astral stated, he had never seen Yuma this happy to see Kaito and he didn't want Kaito to leave, Yuma seemed so overjoyed to have one of his best friends here, he didn't want to see Yuma sad if Kaito left unexpectedly.
"No, nothing I was just checking what time it was. I like to eat breakfast at a specific time, yeah sure.. " He muttered at his lie, he hoped Astral wouldn't be able to see through his deceit, he had to be convincing after all. He saw Astral nod his head, well, he bought it, and he wasn't suspected at all.
"Hm, I will see what is taking Yuma so long. " Astral then wandered down stairs to find Yuma gathering pancakes and cutting them in the shapes of.. hearts? He had never seen such a peculiar thing being done. "Yuma why are you cutting these in the shapes of hearts? Are you not just going to eat them? What is the point of such? "
"N-no these are for Kaito! " Yuma coughed and just kept cutting the pancakes in the shapes he was doing.
Astral stared "But why? Do you have mutual feelings for Kaito? " He questioned, he never knew Yuma liked Kaito, he had no idea.
"I don't know! My heart just flutters really quickly when I'm around Kaito! That's the power of dueling right Astral? " He questioned, he wanted to be sure it was just that they were friends and that he enjoyed dueling him nothing more so than that right?
"As far as I have observed the species of your kind call this feeling love, so you love Kaito more so than dueling I am guessing? " Astral shrugged, he wasn't sure Kaito felt the same way as Yuma did though, he was uncertain.
"I love Kaito? No way! He's just my friend! I don't think I- " he looked at the pancakes that he had cut and turned away with a flushed expression "Okay.. maybe I do.."
he picked up the plate and began walking back up stairs, he saw Kaito leaning against his bed frame. "Sorry I took so long, here. " he said handing Kaito the pancakes.
"What took you so long? " Kaito asked then coughed, that's right he wasn't supposed to give himself away or anything, he just had to be on a tight schedule. He looked at the clock noticing that already seventeen minutes had gone by, he didn't have all the time in the world.
"Why are these pancakes in the shape of hearts? " Kaito questioned, no it couldn't be that Yuma actually had a crush on him? Well that all made it a little easier; he didn't want to have to force himself on the younger or anything as he had morals after all.
"Well, Kaito.. I, I don't know exactly okay! My heart kept fluttering and feeling all puffy and I just started cutting the pancakes in the shapes of hearts.. " Yuma looked away just glancing at the floor now and kicking the ground, why couldn't they just leave it at dueling and nothing more? Why did he have to feel this way?
Kaito sighed, "No Yuma I understand, you made these because you like me right? " he wanted to just get this over with, he didn't want to hurt Yuma though, he was his friend but he also didn't want to lose the bet, so many decisions. He was unable to think, he glanced around the room and saw Yuma lean in closer and kiss him on the cheek.
"What was that for? " Kaito said, he had got one of the people on his list but he still had to be casual about it, he still found the whole thing embarrassing, the list though had never said who had to give the kiss and it also didn't say where he had to kiss them. He mentally smirked to himself. Wait to go Chris.
"N-nothing! Forget it! It was stupid.. just eat your pancakes. " Yuma turned his head away and quickly bit into one of the strips of bacon. He glanced over at Kaito who ate one pancake and set the plate down on Yuma's dresser. "Where are you going? " he further asked, he didn't know why Kaito had to leave so soon it was only 9:20. He wanted to continue to spend time with the teal blond-haired Tenjo. They were friends after all, though Yuma had perhaps wished them to be more than that. Kaito gave Yuma a slip of paper an told him to sign it, he at first was questionable about it but he did so as Kaito asked and handed it back to him.
"I have somewhere to be soon, sorry. Maybe another time Yuma, it's been fun. " Kaito clutched the list beneath his hand and walked down stairs, he saw a distinct look of hurt in the other's eyes. He hadn't meant to hurt him or anything, but overall it was all just a bet, he didn't want to hurt any of his friends. He sighed and waved goodbye to Yuma who smiled, he was just glad he saw him smiling again; he didn't like seeing a sad sight in anyone.
Kaito turned and walked out the door and shut it behind him, he turned to Orbital 7 who had then immerged from his hiding spot. "So, Kaito-Sama how did it go? "
"He kissed me, I guess that's one down. " he checked off the list, he saw Orbital 7 nod his head and slightly laugh and crack a joke about if he liked it or not which he received a glare from Kaito, so he just shut his mouth and transformed into his flight form, Kaito then flew off ready for the next destination on the list.
Kaito hoped he wouldn't have to hurt anyone in the process again, he never really realized how much his friends adored him some how, he had to wonder if he was at all oblivious to these feelings that any of them had for him? He'd just have to find it all out sooner or later and sooner was good; he didn't have all the time in the world. He turned and looked at one of the towns clocks, the clock had the time '9:40' sprawled across it. Maybe he had time to gloat to Chris, no he'd save that for when he actually finished the list. So far he had Yuma's signature, he had to be sure he had actual proof just for extra precautions.
Kaito and Orbital 7 then flew off to the next destination that was sprawled across the list, one down, more to go. 'Shark' he read across in purple writing, he'd try his best but Shark wouldn't be easy. When was anything ever easy for Kaito though?
