Couple: Chaos x Dark

Theme: Changing of the Leaves

"I attack with the Dark Magician! Go, Dark Magic Attack!"

I watch on the sidelines as Dark attacks Basic Insect. The insect is hit directly by the blast and is promptly destroyed. I smirk slightly and silently cheer.

Today, Weevil Underwood decided to challenge the pharaoh yet again. Why he doesn't just admit that he will never beat the pharaoh, I don't know. Humans are weird that way. But anyway, the pharaoh accepted his challenge and now, they were currently dueling. And weirdly enough, the pharaoh decided to include me in his deck as well.

Now don't tell Dark this, but I overheard his discussion with the pharaoh about a couple days ago. Dark was commenting about how I was upset that I have only been in one duel with Dark and how he would forever be in the pharaoh's debt if he would put me back into his deck. And so, here I am, back in the dueling world with my mate by my side. Of course, until one of us gets sent to the graveyard.

"I end my turn. It's your turn Underwood," the pharaoh says confidently.

Underwood scowls and draws a card from his deck. I doze off somewhat, already bored with this duel. My attention moves towards Dark, who was staring intently at Weevil. I scrunch up my face in slight disgust at how serious Dark is. My eyes move around the field before something catches my eyes.

Looking up, I see a tree branch right overtop of the dueling field. My eyes widen as I notice the leaves on the branch. Instead of a healthy green that I'm used to seeing in the monster realm, I see a range of oranges, reds, and yellows. My mouth falls open in awe and I continue to stare at the leaves. One of the leaves shakes as a breeze blows by until it breaks off from the branch.

The leaf starts to fall straight towards me and I reach out to catch in. It lands right in the palm of my hand and I observe the leaf intently. It is mostly red but there is also a blend of oranges and yellows on the leaf too.

"Chaos? What are you doing?" Dark asks quietly.

I look up and hold out the leaf for Dark to see. Dark just stares at it before he raises an eyebrow at me.

"And you're looking at a leaf because….," Dark trails off.

I stare at him incredulously. "It's not green! It's…red! That's weird!" I remark.

Dark stares at me before laughing softly. He plucks the leaf out of my hand and signals me to come closer. I step forward and close my eyes as Dark's hands brushes through my hair. I feel something being pushed into my hair and I reach up to touch it. I fell the fragile leaf in my hair and I look at Dark weirdly.

"You look cute," he says before turning back to the duel.

I blush somewhat before doing the same thing, softly fingering the leaf in my hair.
