Pairing: Pre-slash Rua x Rally.
Summary:
Pixie dust can make you forget your troubles, and Rua has plenty of troubles he'd like to forget.
To say Rua's first major Duel after returning to Neo Domino City didn't go according to plan would be a complete understatement. He was lucky to make it out of the accident with both his legs, but really, he blamed himself for forgetting who his opponents were. Team Catastrophe had become more criminal since Team Unicorn and Team 5D's last butted up against them.
Rua hid himself from the cameras in a dive bar in Satellite called the 7th Heaven. A place where maybe if he was just as lucky, nobody would recognize him. The cheap alcohol did nothing to dampen his chivalrous nature though, and he launched his fist at a sod he saw trying to squeeze the waitress' arse.
The creep was larger, angrier, and drunker than him. Therefore, Rua was the one who wound up with a shiner.
The waitress was now cleaning Rua's face with a cold dishrag. "Can I get you anything? Cola? Peanuts?"
"Ow…How old do you think I am?"
"Hehehe. Sorry. Boss' orders. Hard liquor comes out of my paycheck!"
"I'll pass then." Rua held the cloth over his eye. "Thanks anyway, um –"
"Rally."
So this was Rally! He never got a close look at him behind Rudger's Spider Web! How many Rallys could there be in Satellite?
Actually, he felt a lot better. He saved Rally from imminent violence. That scum did not seem like the kind who'd take the revelation that Rally wasn't a woman lying down.
"You're Yusei's friend!"
"And you're Rua!"
"Are you a Psycho Duelist?"
"It's written here on your ID!" Rally giggled. "I guess because you and Yusei are tight, buying you a beer is an expense I can handle!"
"Nono! It's okay! I should head out before my sister starts worrying where I went!"
"I'm not letting you get behind a D-Wheel! Come back with me to the guys'! They won't mind us loosening up 'in the Gadget Trailer' for you sticking your neck out for me!"
Tap the brakes. Had the crash, the alcohol, or the bar brawl done more damage than he thought? He thought he heard Rally offer him thank you sex!
"The Gadget Trailer? You do know who I am!"
"I watched the WRPG and archive footage of the Fortune Cup. The green hair's a giveaway! You were a pretty hot girl!"
Rua resisted shooting back about Rally's own clothing choices. If it were Ruka, she'd have kicked Rally's ankle in.
"Don't be shy. I can't be your first."
Rua didn't reply to that, causing Rally to break out laughing.
"Rally, are you playing tricks on the customers again?" the bartender groaned. "Don't listen to his nonsense, sir. He doesn't sleep with the customers."
"Only the ones I like!" The ill-behaved pixie winked a flighty promise at Rua.
