Tee gets a message from Maguro saying he's coming over right now. Looking over his shoulder, he realizes his spaceship isn't exactly up to "boyfriend standards" when he spots Jay and Elle tormenting Ai and making a mess in the common room.

Spontaneous Arrival

"Hey, I'm coming over. "

Tee stared at his phone, the commotion behind him fading. His eyes scanned the message over and over again. Tilting his head as Ai, he hummed, nodded, and understood what Maguro had texted him.

"So, he's coming over," he mumbled, and turning around, he faced the chaos he had been so desperately trying to ignore.

In the common room, it was another average day. Ai cowered behind the couch, feeble yipes spitting up out of him. Jay and Elle continued tormenting him with the dog whistle they had pilfered from a shop in Suzuran. Ai clapped his hands over his ears as Elle blew into it, Jay's laughter creating a cacophony of noise as it mixed with Ai's shrill whining.

"Guys, guys! Leave Ai alone!" Tee called, waving his arms as he hurried over to them. He snatched the whistle out of Elle's hands and wound it tightly between his fingers, refusing to let the twins catch a glimpse of it.

"Aww, you're no fun!" Jay huffed as Elle tried snatching the whistle back, but Tee held it high above her head.

"Isn't it time for you two to get back to your observation duties in the stern of the ship?"

The twins frowned. He sensed they were plotting something against him, but his mind pulled him elsewhere. The couch pillows were tossed on the floor, and the rug was wrinkled. Ai's claw marks dug into the couch and pulled out a few springs, which when Ai noticed caused his cheeks to darken.

"A-ah, my apologies, Captain. It seems that I was...overzealous in my reaction," he said, coughing into his paw.

"It's fine, Ai. Jay, Elle-" Tee jabbed his finger at the door as the twins stuck their tongues out at him. "-back to your observation duties. Let's go."

Jay snapped his fingers "You're only sending us away-"

"-because your boyfriend's coming to play!" Elle shot her fists towards the ceiling.

Tee shook his head, heat coloring his cheeks a rosy red. "Go back to your observation duties or else I'm putting you two on Zedroboxia 9 with the slug monsters."

The twins shuddered, and Tee smirked as they scampered off. Their last encounter with those violent aliens left them drenched in a slime which took weeks to scrub clean from their skin. It seemed they hadn't gotten over their fear of the slugs, which Tee decided to use towards his advantage when their pranks went too far.

"As for the couch," Ai began, directing Tee's attention back to him, "I'll get to work fixing it." He raised his curious gaze back to him. "So, is Maguro coming over?" When Tee nodded, he cocked his head. "Well, pardon me for doubting him, but how can he come here? We're in the middle of Messier 81 while he's in the Milky Way galaxy. To my knowledge, not even a strong Tetris battle can teleport anyone that far."

Tee crossed his arms and hummed. "Good point. I don't think playing Puyo can send him millions of lightyears away from his planet." Scratching through his hair, he pulled out his phone and texted Maguro, asking how he was supposed to arrive.

Before he could hit send, a wormhole opened up in the middle of the common room. Stars and comets streaked by in the black depths. Gravity betrayed them, sucking in the couch and rug and forcing them to dig in their heels. Losing their grip for even a millisecond would result in them being suctioned up, their bodies spat out in some unknown world, and before Tee could scream, it was over as Maguro stepped out of the portal.

"Hey! Man, that was a trip, " he said, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "You wouldn't believe the Puyos I had to pop to make it all the way here. Ringo said it couldn't be done, but I proved her wrong. "

Tee gawked, his heart thudding faster in his chest. "M-Maguro! How did you-? I mean-! You were-!"

"Yeah, I made a forty chain. "

His eyes widened, his face seemingly growing longer as his mouth dropped open. "A...forty chain?"

Maguro shrugged and grinned, showing off his sharp teeth. "Forty chain. "

"But how could you make a forty chain? Isn't the Puyo board restricted?" Ai inquired, adjusting his lopsided glasses.

"That's why I stacked on the sides way, way, way above the part where the Puyos dropped. " Maguro snickered as Ai's expression contorted in a way that implied his mind had imploded. "Anyway, I brought some mobile games with me this time. Some nice puzzle games and games no longer compatible with newer phones. "

Still in shock, Tee edged closer to him and asked, "I'm glad you're here, but even with a forty chain, how did you manage to pinpoint your destination to this exact spot? We're millions of lightyears away from your planet."

Even though his bangs covered his eyes, Maguro winked. "Hey, I'll overcome any hurdle to see my boyfriend. "

His heart skipped a beat, and Tee saw the world in shades of red. As his grin pressed into his cheeks, he said, "W-well, that's pretty romantic."

"I'll leave you two alone," Ai said without receiving an answer. He knew that was fine, glancing over his shoulder to watch Tee escort Maguro out to another room for some quality time together.

Unfortunately for Ai, as soon as he was alone, Jay and Elle resumed terrorizing him with the dog whistle they had silently swiped back from Tee when the portal opened. All the while, Tee and Maguro played games while he screamed somewhere in the spaceship, Jay and Elle's laughter mingling with the background music from their phones.
