Uno grinned happily shifting slightly from his place on ground, laying comfortably on a blanket watching the slowly setting sun. Occasionally glancing at the other figures surrounding him in the arena.
The gambler was practically radiating energy, happy to be able to have a good time with his cellmates. The warden, Momoko Hyakushiki, had been generous enough to allow all the guards and prisoners to mess around until the moon started to change.
Noticing Hajime's frown was more set than usual who was trying not to shift under the warden's glaring stare, a small idea formed in the strawberry blonde's mind as he looked into her eyes.
Uno stood up walking behind the guard and pointing at the warden, back at the stiff man and making a heart with his hands.
The blue haired woman's cheeks turned red clearly embarrassed, it was all the answer that the prisoner really needed. He watched as Hajime tensed and slowly started to sweat. Uno couldn't help but look at the guard incredulously.
'Has he seriously not noticed that she has a huge crush on him?' He thought, 'And I thought Hajime was smart.'
Uno shivered for the poor man as he began looking around the arena to spot his best friend, prisoner number 15 himself, Jyugo, who he just so happened to have a gigantic crush on. Even if he was in denial.
After a while of walking around Uno finally found the escape artist in their usual cell. He spotted Rock the man's face flushed red, and stuttering slightly, an odd sight on someone as large as he was.
Jyugo's face was as blank as ever, "Just tell him," he advised monotonously, "If he likes you, good. You deserve to be happy. If not then continue being his friend."
"I don't know man, what if things are awkward?" Rock asked shifting nervously.
Walking forward Uno slung his arm around Jyugo's shoulders and giving a wide grin, "Then just let him know that you will support him no matter what. Let him know that that you both will move forward and not stick on the confession."
Eying Uno's arm a spark of mischief started to grow in Rock's eyes. Smirking knowingly, he winked at the duo before heading out.
Uno gave him his 'gambling-you-are-so-going-down' stare as Rock slowly made his way out of the room waving as he left but before he completely left he added "Like with Jyugo."
That was it. Uno tried lunging forward but was stopped when Jyugo stumbled after him and tugging them down towards the ground. Uno shifted their positions so he was hovering over the escape specialist as he laughed happily.
"You could've asked me, you know. No need to jump me like you did." Winking at him, and smirk still in place Uno leaned down to his ear. "But I don't do one nighters."
Jyugo's face flushed, lips parting slightly with surprise. Playfully growling Uno wrapped his arms around the smaller male as the japanese male began to struggle.
Hajime burst through the door, "The one time you are allowed to leave this cell you escape to get back into it! You're all giving me even more paperwork!"
The guard stalked over the two prisoners slamming his fist onto Uno's head unknowing slamming the two prisoners lips together in an awkward kiss. Surprised they both tensed and froze. There was a moment of agonizing silence.
Hajime grabbed Uno's shirt lifting the gambler up. "If you want to do that with your boyfriend, do it later. The Warden announced a singing competition for everyone. Our building is first up. I'm only picking two people so let me know if you want to or not."
Jyugo nodded still blushing slightly too embarrassed to protest and Uno's nod followed quickly after as he inwardly rejoiced. They headed out for the stadium.
Uno strolled on the stage gave a wild grin and waved, scrolling down a list of songs finally finding one he tapped on Super Psycho Love by Simon Curtis. The music started to play and Uno closed his eyes picturing Jyugo as he began to sing.
"Something lately drives me crazy
Has to do with how you make me
Struggle to get your attention
Calling you brings apprehension
Texts from you and sex from you
Are things that are not so uncommon
Flirt with you you're all about it
Tell me why I feel unwanted?
Damn, if you didn't want me back
Why'd you have to act like that?
It's confusing to the core
'Cause I know you want it
Oh, and if you don't wanna be
Something substantial with me
Then why do you give me more?
Babe I know you want it
Say that you want me every day
That you want me every way
That you need me
Got me trippin' super psycho love
Aim, pull the trigger
Feel the pain getting bigger
Go insane from the bitter feeling
Trippin' super psycho love
Pull me off to darkened corners
Where all other eyes avoid us
Tell me how I mesmerize you
I love you and despise you
Back to the crowd where you ignore me
Bedroom eyes to those before me
How am I supposed to handle
Lit the fuse and missed the candle
Damn, if you wanna let me go
Baby please just let me know
You're not gonna get away with leading me on
Say that you want me every day
That you want me every way
That you need me
Got me trippin' super psycho love
Aim, pull the trigger
Feel the pain getting bigger
Go insane from the bitter feeling
Trippin' super psycho love
Say you want me
Say you need me
Tear my heart out slow
And bleed me
You want me
You need me
You're gonna be with me
I know you want me too
I think you want me too
Please say you want me too
Because you're going to
Say that you want me every day
That you want me every way
That you need me
Got me trippin' super psycho love
Aim, pull the trigger
Feel the pain getting bigger
Go insane from the bitter feeling
Trippin' super psycho love
Say that you want me every day
That you want me every way
That you need me
Got me trippin' super psycho love
Aim, pull the trigger
Feel the pain getting bigger
Go insane from the bitter feeling
Trippin' super psycho love"
As soon as the song was over the others started to clap Uno smiled waving as he walked off the stage. The smile turned into a challenging smirk as he turned to his crush. Jyugo smirked back at and made his way onto stage.
Uno watched carefully having a feeling he was going to be pleasantly surprised. His face was as emotionless as ever although his stance revealed that he was both nervous and excited. He took a deep breath as the music began to play Uno's favorite song, Because You Live by Jesse McCartney.
"Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart,
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live."
Jyugo's voice was surprisingly smooth and soothing and Uno's jaw had dropped somewhere during the song, looking around and noticing that he wasn't the only one the gambler stood and clapped, the other prisoners and guards soon followed.
Jyugo and Uno went to their seats nether focusing on who had won. As the sun began to set the escapist's ever changing eyes became more noticeable, changing colors to match the setting sun in brilliant forms of blazing red, glowing orange, brilliant gold, soft lavender and darkened pink. .
Uno grinned, 'God I love those eyes,' He thought happily wrapping his arm around Jyugo's shoulders who cuddled closer and shivered.
They both began to drift off knowing that one of their companions would wake them when the blood moon was about to show.
Rock and Nico were sitting on either side of them and Nico was resting his head on Uno's shoulder and Rock let his head rest on Jyugo's lap.
Uno couldn't really bring himself to be jealous since he new that the fighter wasn't interested in his Jyugo. Recognizing his thoughts he vaguely wondered how far he had fallen to sound like a possessive boyfriend.
Close to midnight the prisoners of cell thirteen were stirred awake, walking to the designated viewing area. Uno had to hold Jyugo who had tripped and hurt his foot.
Nico was sitting on Rock's shoulder so he could look for Upa. "Ah!~" Nico cried out, "Look there they are! Shishou!~ Over here~"
Upa stared at Nico giving a slight nod of his head to acknowledge their presence. The green-haired boy grinned
"I will beat you. I've been training," Upa said confidently. The group laughed at the two, Liang and Rock struck up a conversation about the two boys.
Uno gave a sly grin 'I see..so he's crushing on Liang. I totally ship it.'
Jyugo was apparently thinking the same because he was smiling as he looked at the admittedly adorable pair. Soon the moon started to bleed red a faint red glow lighting up the stadium.
Uno started to clutch his heart as a warm feeling spread across chest. Before he could stop himself he let out a startled gasp as a torrent of indescribable emotions began to wash over him.
Jyugo stood next to the gamble, apparently feeling the same as he was clutching his own chest. A confused expression flickered over his face before going blank again although the concern still lingered in his eyes.
Watching as the moon's color began to seep away returning to it's normal milky white the prisoners and guards left to return to their cells. Happy smiles lighting everyone's faces.
"Ne~, Jyugo~ I didn't know you were such a good singer!" Nico stated excitedly.
Rock joined in, "Yeah. Why didn't you tell us you could sing like that, man?" he asked.
There was a moment of silence before they turned to look at the escapist their only answer was Jyugo's soft breathing. Uno paused as realization stuck him 'Wait a minute!' He thought, 'That's my bed!' Sighing he pulled the blanket over Jyugo's shoulders before settling in the escape artists bed and falling asleep.
