Redeyeshipping (Katsuya Jonouchi x Dinosaur Ryuzaki)
. . .
The thing was, they didn't necessarily hate each other.
Sure, Ryuzaki was still sore about losing his limited edition Red Eyes to the guy that had been a relative nobody on the dueling scene at the time, and sure, Jonouchi was still kinda irritated about how annoying the kid could be, but it wasn't like they couldn't get along once in a while when they somehow ended up at the same shooter in the arcade. Especially when the guys that were supposed to come with them and play the two-player game didn't show up for one reason or another.
"Yugi got swamped at the game shop, I think. Seemed really bummed that he didn't get to come, though, at least."
"At least you've got that. I think Haga ditched me because he saw a butterfly or something. At least, that's what it sounded like in his weird, misspelled text message."
"Man, he really gets excited over things like that, doesn't he?"
"What a nerd."
"Oh, hey, watch your flank there."
"Got 'em. I think there's another swarm coming."
"We're running low on ammo. Cover me a sec while I grab some of those medpacks."
"Yup."
"How's the dueling scene been?"
"Eh. Could be better, could be worse. Got third in my last tournament. Not too bad."
"Congrats."
"Meh. What about you? You taking care of Red Eyes?"
"Best care that I can give 'im. He's still my ace, ya know. Oh, check your left I think I saw one darting it."
"He'd better be your goddamn ace. And got it. Thanks for the tip."
"Two-Headed King Rex still yours?"
"Nah. He's still in there, 'course, but the game keeps changing. They keep adding more ridiculous monsters. Changed it up to Super Conductor Tyranno."
"Think I saw that one at the regionals."
"Yup, that's the one."
"It's really cool."
"You'd damn well better think he's cool. Cooler than Red Eyes, even. Incoming on the right."
"No way. Nuthin's cooler than Red Eyes."
"That sounded like a challenge."
"Want it to be one?"
"Dueling box, right after this round."
"You're on."
"Loser buys lunch."
"Deal."
In the end, even the worst of first impressions can float under the bridge, can't they?
