Summary:
The subject of school rumours may be too stupid to realize he's being talked about, but these things have a way of GO WAY GO WAY.
Yuma dumped his messenger bag on the attic floor, bacon hurting to flop into his hammock after watching an interesting Duel at school, when a hand suddenly came out of the big trunk of his parents' treasures and dragged him down by his ankle.
With a yelp, Yuma fell, happy to land on the carpet rather than the cluster of pointy crystals which he would have landed on if he'd been just a hair to the left.
"You damn cheater!" the teen who'd hid inside the box accused.
"Sh-Shobee?"
"The one and only! Yuma, you're mine, damn you!"
"What are you talking about?"
"This!" Shobee crawled over Yuma's back, showing him his D-Pad from the side. On the screen was a picture of Shark with a quote attributed to him handing responsibility for Rio off to Yuma.
"Eh? Me and Shark's sister?"
So that was what that sibling squabble Duel was about…and why Kotori and Cathy squeezed him. Except, why would they do that?
"You expect me to be a guest at your wedding? Instead of the goddamned groom?" Shobee shouted in his ears and face.
Yuma didn't even try to de-cling Shobee. Tiny dude was like the finger traps among his father's effects: Once Shobee got hold, you were stuck no matter how hard you pulled.
"Shobee! It's not true!"
"Then why is it all over the school website, damn you?"
"I don't know, because it's the internet? Do you really think I'd go out with Shark's sister? She scares me!"
"Every boy at Heartland Academy wants her!"
"I don't! I've got you! Or…I guess from where I am, you've got me!"
"Really?"
"Really!" Yuma replied snippily.
Shobee's foreman fury morphed into a conniving grin. "Care to prove it?"
Yuma flipped once to land Shobee on his back, and a second time to land nose to nose with Shobee. Shobee had stopped road rolling him, giving Yuma the freedom.
"I overlay myself with you!"
Shobee snorted at the line.
Yuma was his Xyz treasure.
