Romantic

"Why are we watching this again?" Crow groaned as the tv flickered producing an image of a couple inches a part. The prankster nearly gagged as the couple's lips touched. Yusei frowned more concerned with the failing reception of the television. Unable to ignore it any longer, Yusei crouched by the tv. After a few modifications, the signal was spotless.

"I told Carly these romantic films are pointless and stupid." Jack grumbled.

"Now, Carly asked you to watch several films in the romantic genre so you can help her with research, in a conveniently timed article." Yusei finished sitting back down.

"Well, you both are going to help me, take notes, if I have to suffer so do you. " He passed each a pad of paper and pencil. The former thief proceeded to slam his head onto the notepad in dismay. The two lovebirds danced harmoniously, oblivious to the delivery man's distaste. Yusei watched passively, before commenting.

"That's not how you do the waltz, remember Martha showed us once . . . " Pausing, he smirked momentarily.

"Before, we escaped." Staring incredulously at Yusei, the former king's expression turned thoughtful for a minute. Making a snap decision, mischievously, he snatched the pad away from Yusei. Only things written so far included phrases like standard love stories involve bad dancing and lack of common sense. Genuinely confused by the change of heart, Yusei asked.

"Didn't you want my Help?" Jack shook his head.

"You're not a romantic, Yusei. You can help me with editing later." He dismissed him and his other teammate joined him, half heartedly taking notes,

"Don't Worry, I have it all figured out. We will watch three of these a day and get through the twelve movies she assigned by the end of the week." Jack declared.

"Twelve? Think next time, Carly punishing you, punishes the whole group. We could be working on the D-wheels right now." Crow whined, waving his hands in a zig zagging fashion for emphasis.

Off to the side, the peacemaker's eye twitched glaring at the offending yellow paper. He often displayed his ability to observe more than most, and they thought he couldn't be trusted to help on a silly little article. With resolve, he decided to prove that he was perfectly capable of handling the current subject matter. Eyebrows furrowed in slight annoyance at his haughty companion and the chirping bird with orange plumes for hair. The head signer began to protest in a low firm voice, cutting through the senseless prattle.

"Let me help. I'm not clueless. Not only do I know enough to help with the article, but I can execute any sort of wooing shown in these films flawlessly. " He finished by taking the notepad. Jack scoffed.

"No, Yusei you're not a Romantic. There is no way you could pull off anything like that." His childhood friend reprimanded confidently. Yusei regained a detached manner but the crackling intensity did not leave his eyes at the challenge presented to him. He simply needed the opportunity.

Aki jubilantly walked through the open door lugging her heavy physics book, accompanied by the twins. Intently, he focused his gaze on Aki as a predator would when scouting potential prey. He stood cautiously stalking the delicate creature, ignoring the rambling of the twins as he honed in on his target. Aki stood unaware, mildly curious as to why they were not working in the garage. He glanced at Jack briefly, aiming a feral grin his direction.

"Watch me." Purposely, Yusei grabbed Aki by the shoulders and pulled her close. One arm secured her back, and in a matter of seconds, he dipped her form as easily as silken fabric wraps around the skin. Without losing hold on her, he leaned in until they were a breath apart. Cerulean circuit boards melted away the caramel scoops below them with attentive force. He assured the withering rose in a tender tone.

"The minute we faced, you cast me under your spell. I would follow you to the ends of the earth. Never leave my side." Finished in the exact tone and manner as seen twenty minutes prior, triumphant, he released her from his hold. When he did, he cast her off with an elegant twirl. The blushing rose figure steadied herself to keep from falling, dazed.

"See, Jack, I can to pull off a romantic moment. Right Aki? Aki?" He turned. Slam! The humiliated girl smacked him with her physics book. She turned curtly away from him yelling.

"Bruno, help me with my physics homework today!" Scorned, impossibly flattered, and murderous, she chose to search elsewhere for guidance lest she reflect more on the latter's intent.

Yusei rubbed his face, unsure of what you just happened. Smugly, Jack taunted him.

"Like I said before, not a romantic."
