Drabble #4: The term 'friendship'

Requested by: TheEnergeticBlaze

Words: 557

Characters: Yuma, Kotori, Vector


Vector had been trying to get used to his new life. He went to school, learned things he already knew (like history) and annoyed all the former Emperors to no end. But above all of that, he was trying to get used to his new 'friends'. He wasn't Rei Shingetsu. He wasn't sweet and kind and hopeful. He was evil, twisted and cruel. He enjoyed other people's suffering, or that's what he told himself. He couldn't really comprehend the term 'friendship' even if he acted like he knew it. He couldn't really remember ever having a friend, not even in his past life.

So he was curious. He was curious about this term 'friendship', and who better person to ask about it than the pure embodiment of friendship, Yuma? But he knew that asking Yuma directly would be useless. So he thought of hiding his true intentions by asking Yuma about how he met Kotori, his childhood friend.

When Yuma was asked that question, he had smiled sheepishly and said that it wasn't anything special. Kotori, who was near the scene, came closer and wondered what the two boys were talking about. When Vector asked his question again, Kotori laughed. She said that the moment they met was a very funny one. Yuma blushed and turned his head, saying that it wasn't funny, but Kotori just laughed again.

She then began explaining Vector that Yuma and her met when they were both 6 years old. Yuma had been a very energetic boy and everyone knew him for being loud. One day, some guys older than them started annoying her. They pushed her and threw her things to the floor, all the while laughing at her. Then, Yuma had suddenly appeared and threw a rock at one of the bullies. The bullies got mad and started following Yuma, while Yuma ran away. Then, Yuma tried to climb up a tree, but after reaching the top, the branch he was in broke and he fell on top of another bully.

Afterwards, he tried to run again, but accidentally tripped over a trash can and got all dirty. The bullies started laughing at him, and Yuma got mad and threw some of the trash at them, making them angry again. But when the bullies took a step forward to attack Yuma, they all tripped with the trash and fell, covering themselves with it in the process. Yuma then bursted out laughing. He was laughing so hard that he got everyone's attention and soon people were surrounding them. The bullies felt so ashamed that they went red and quietly left.

After that, Kotori went and helped Yuma stand and thanked him for helping her. He smiled at her and said that it was no problem, then he asked her if she dueled. Kotori shook her head and said that she never learned how, so Yuma promised her to teach her because, after all, he was going to become duel champion one day. Ever since that moment, Kotori and Yuma became friends.

After Vector heard the story, he thought about it and tried to understand the term 'friendship'. He came to the conclusion that friendship was protecting those you care about and making them happy. So he promised himself that he would be a good friend to Yuma and all his friends.
