Good morning! This chapter is making out. I think that's self-explanatory. Boy kissus. enjoy them, please. :)
"Aw, what's wrong Yuuma-kun~? Not going to call me Shingetsu anymore?"
Yuuma could feel his blood boiling. Just who did Vector think he was?! From inside his cell Yuuma could see the ginger comfortably perched on a throne, smirking down at them. A tightness gripped his chest and he took a deep breath.
He wasn't about to show this guy any weakness, but what he did was really rotten! And Yuuma couldn't help but think back on all that time they had spent together- No! He needed to get out of here and stop him!
"You jerk!" Yeah, that was going to hurt his feeling alright...Wait what? Vector was saying the numbers had already been taken? Well, he'd duel for them back!
"Let's switch you over to a deluxe suite, huh?"
Yuuma watched as Vector wrapped a hand around some sort of chain, and braced himself for something to happen. Something happened, alright. Not what Yuuma expected though.
Vector's throne did a 180 and flipped him into a trap door under it. "Huh?! Hey no-!" Hey could hear him yell before he fell in. Yuuma tilted his head.
"Uh, well..." What just happened? Did Vector pull the wrong lever?
"How unexpected! The only good thing he was good for was showing me here, I guess." Yuuma looked at Astral and back at number 96. What was he doing here?!
"Did you team up with the Barians? Black Mist..." Astral asked, phasing through the cell door.
"We had common interests, is all. He's outlived his usefulness now, though." Black mist glanced down at the open trap door with a smirk, wrapping a hand around the same lever.
"Number 96, get me out of he-" He yanked the lever. The throne took its place back where it had been before, and they could only hear muffled shouting.
"That's a little cruel..." Yuuma said. He could hear Shark in the cell next to his scoffing.
"After what he did to you, let him rot in there."
"Black Mist, where is the number?"
"It's right here, come duel me for it if you want it~" Astral nodded and looked back to Yuuma.
"I'm borrowing this, Yuuma." Yuuma cheered for him as Astral took his deck. "Kick his butt, Astral!" He smiled and leaned against the cell, trying to see better.
"Hey, Yuuma, while we're in here try to find a way out!" Shark snapped from his cell. Yuuma laughed nervously. He really did wanna watch the duel, but that would be a good idea.
"Aah, I found something!" Yuuma cheered. It was a small star scribbled on the wall on what it looked like a pressable panel. He pressed his palm into it hard with a grin.
"Yuuma, wait!" He could hear Shark's voice above him as he fell and landed with an 'omffph!' on the hard stone floor.
"I'm okay! I fell through a weird trap, but I'm okay! Tell Astral to keep dueling- and kattobingu! I'll find my way back to you guys, so don't worry!" He shouted up at the trap. He could hear his own voice echo and Shark confirmed that Astral had to keep dueling, and told Yuuma to hurry up and get back.
Well, he wasn't gonna get anywhere sitting here. He grinned and sat up, looking around. He was at a four-way hall. He had four options...none of them seemed to be marked at all. He put his hands on his hips and hummed. Well, he'd just have to go one way and see where it went! He picked the path straight behind him and started walking.
There were a bunch of doors, and most he pushed were locked. When he got to the end of the long, dim hall there was only one door left and a dead-end. He took a deep breathe and pushed against it.
To his surprise, the door swung open. And another surprise, he wasn't alone.
"Nice to see you here, too, Yuuma-kun~" Vector looked like it was a strain to even keep up the act, he looked like he got scuffed up a little from the fall, and something else.
"Uh, are you okay...?"
"Thanks for your concern, good to know you still care." His voice was teasing but his face looked like he was in pain. Yuuma noticed his arm was around his chest, and there was a tear in his jacket. Was that blood?!
"Hey, you're bleeding!" Yuuma tried to step over the bed, (this was a bedroom, now that he looked at it. Everything was falling apart everywhere else, but this room looked well-preserved, like it had been like this and well-kept. This place had to be like a billion years old, how was it so clean in here?) and tried to grab at Vector. As a result, they both fell awkwardly on the bed.
"Hey, isn't this familiar? We met like this, didn't we Yuuma-kun?" Yuuma was pinned to the bed with Vector looking over him with a sweet smile. Too sweet...
"You need to clean that up, there's a lot of blood!" He tried to push the ginger off but he just leaned closer.
"I'll clean it up if you give me something sweet." Yuuma felt slightly chapped lips graze his own. His own breath was caught in his throat. What was he doing...? He didn't close his eyes, and Yuuma stared up silently at Vector. Maybe he bled out too much and was going crazy? Oh wait, he was already there, right?
"Get off!" He pushed Vector off and scooted away. He brought a shaking hand to his tingling lips.
"You hate me, huh? It's not like that's the first time we've kissed. You're still too sweet tasting..." Vector stared out the window absentmindedly. Yuuma swallowed. That was before...but feeling didn't just go away, did Vector actually even like him to start with?
"I don't hate anyone. Er, it was bad what you did, but I didn't forget the time we spent together. Even if it was fake...I don't hate you. Are you going to tell me how you got bloodied up?" Yuuma felt himself being pushed back down onto the bed and Vector was looking down at him with a glare.
"Falling, and bats. There are a lot of damn bats in this place...It's not important really, but there was a sharp rock...but details;" He paused slightly, hearing Yuuma didn't hate him, "If that's the case I'll make you hate me then."
He pushed his mouth's onto Yuuma's again. Yuuma could feel his heart beating too fast against his rib cage. He shouldn't feel like this...Vector did some really bad things. Maybe it was the taboo side of it all that was making his blood pump.
He could feel himself leaning into the kiss, and Vector bit his lip. He opened his mouth and Vector's tongue took his own should have been wrong, but Yuuma felt like his entire body wanted it. Vector let go of his arms and he ran his fingers through the orange hair, closing his eyes. Their bodies were pressed together and they were breathing hard. Their tastes mingled, sweet and slightly bitter.
When he felt something warm on his stomach he pulled away, wiping away saliva. He laid on the bed trying to catch his breath, staring at the slightly dilapidated ceiling. It seemed like he laid there for hours in a dizzy, hormonal haze trying to calm down.
"Y-you're still bleeding..." Vector groaned and looked down at his chest.
"I know, getting you a little made me feel better for a while. Thanks for that Yuuma-kun~" Vector wiped his lip off and stood up. In the dim, dusty light coming from the window, Yuuma swore when Vector tilted his head he looked almost regal. A small smile was on his lips and he turned away from Yuuma.
"This ended up a lot worse than I thought. My bad intentions backfired...Anyway, I've got things to do. Later!" Before he could ask what he meant (was he just going to leave him-? After they just kissed like that, Yuuma was left with more questions than answers.), Vector's hand was on a chain. Yuuma was launched into the air and flying face first at the ceiling. He screamed and covered his face but he didn't hit it, the ceiling seemed to slide away.
He was pushed up and he landed awkwardly on another stone floor, in a different hallway. He pouted and looked around. Well, after all that he was still lost... There was only one way to go, so Yuuma started walking. He hoped Vector would be okay. He couldn't help but worry a little, that was a lot of blood. And they had kissed again...he'd need some time to sort out these confusing feelings. Did Vector like him, or did he just like messing with him?
When he opened the door at the end of the hall, he was outside. And the castle was crumbling down. "Oh no, Everyone's still in there!" He was about to charge back in when he heard his name being called behind him. He turned around to see everyone already waiting for him.
"We were about to go in for you! Are you okay? What happened you're all bloody!" Kotori cried, running towards him.
"I'm fine! Why's the place fallin' apart, didja get the number, Astral?" Astral sighed and shook his head.
"I'm afraid Black Mist took it. Vector appeared at the last second and took the place down. He seemed very angry at Black Mist, but they still left together. At this point, we should be wary of them."
Yuuma sighed and nodded in agreement. He really did need to be careful around Vector. He had trouble controlling himself around him.
Okay, for the whole 'bats' thing. What happened was when Vector was falling down the trap door under his throne, there had been bats on the underside. They had flocked at him (Do bats do that..?) He had run from them, probably screaming bloody murder trying to get them out of his hair and tripped and fell on a sharp rock. I was going to write more about that but didn't wanna spend three paragraphs torturing Vec, but the mental image is enough to make me snort. xD
This chapter was making out, and yet the makeout lasted for about one paragraph. I'm sorry. There will be smut I promise. Just not yet. :')
Fun fact! When people kiss, it releases special hormones like oxytocin and dopamine, which actually makes the brain and body feel good, or even addicted to their partner. It can also reduce levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. When Vector said it made him feel better, chemically speaking it probably did. (Or do Barians have those chemicals? Hmm) Maybe you could learn something from a fanfic, huh? xD
But! Thank you for your continued support, whether that be reviews, follows, favorites, or just reading. I love you all for it. Next chapter is 'Eating Ice Cream.' hoooo boy i'm ready for that. Hope you are, too!
