I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH! GX NOR 5D'S

Con grande astuzia e velocità

The radio was really blazing loudly on a tune that's been playing over and over inside the card store.

You too, your runner can flyyyy~!

By now, Yusei and Judai have gotten used to the tune. So far, it seems Yusei is really loving this song. He would ask the store owner, who was probably a few years older than him, what song it was but he didn't know Italian at all. Besides, it seems he was busy with a handheld game.

Judai was at the far end of the store, gawking over single cards laid out in glass display cases. He was tapping the tip of his shoe on the wooden floor to the song's rhythm as he studied each article. Yusei was looking at card supplies, including albums, sleeves, and deck boxes. They do seem outdated, but he was rather interested on the designs seeing as how he doesn't see them every day considering he's at least fifteen years ahead of this time.

"Ahh, so these are the new Lightswon cards I've heard about! Sweet!" Judai exclaimed as he leaned his head further into the case. Yusei's deep blue eyes glanced towards the other boy. "Uh, do you even know how to read Italian?"

"Nope!"

Tra le stelle andrai; sempre salirai!

The spikey raven walked over to several glass cases towards the side of the room. These cards are really old, Yusei thought to himself. He couldn't read the names but he can recognize the card art. "Dark Armed Dragon," Yusei mumbled. With his knees bent, he checks the second shelf in the case.

"Lonefire Blossom, Gladiator Beasts, Horus the Black Flame Dragon Level series, Guardian of Order..." Yusei began to trail off as he read off the rest of the cards in his head.

Sai combattere; tu puoi vincere

Judai was bent over, wishing he could read the new Lightsworn cards but gave up as he began looking at a few other cards. He looked to the side and saw that Yusei was in his own little world as his head was ever so slightly moving side to side, looking at all the cards. His deep brown eyes batted as he walked over to Yusei, bending over. Yusei didn't seem to sense the youth by his side.

Maybe I can be able to use some of these older cards and fix up my deck. Aki did mention on why not using Plant-type monsters in my deck for additional speed. And to use a bit of DARK cards. Yusei thought to himself.

Huh, I've been using Neos cards for so long, I didn't even know there were some new HERO supports. But for right now, I kinda want to bring Neos out faster, Judai thought to himself.

Okay, would use two Lonefires and probably Allure of Darkness along with Dark Armed Dragon and a couple of Chaos Sorcerers. Sure glad people in this era haven't gotten to know Synchros otherwise the prices on these would skyrocket!

Let's see, let's see..I would need an additional card to create enough sacrifices to Summon my Neos. Cloudian Sheep Cloud wouldn't be quick enough. I need something faster..Hm, wonder if they have that card? Would be awesome if they do!

Doubt I can find the card here, it's pretty rare to find even in this time. I think only a good few hundreds were released of the article due to a card contest, but it would make enough speed to combo with Lonefire and Spore.

Yusei's blue eyes slowly scanned towards the left side of the third shelf.

Judai's brown eyes glances across the right side of the third shelf.

In its glory, a lone Dandylion laid on the shelf.

The two duelists jumped as they saw it at the same time. Their heads zoomed in quickly towards their prey until they both suddenly felt each other's warm cheek squish against each other. The boys blinked and looked at each other, their eyes meeting. A nervous, deep blush grazes across Judai's face as he smiled nervously. Yusei was trying to keep his pokerface but the soft shade of red still appeared on his cheeks.

"Hi," they both greeted in unison. They looked back at the card then back to each other.

Judai was the first to bust his gut laughing. Yusei quickly covered his mouth, muffling his own hearty laughter as his eyes shut. "Well, great minds think alike, don't we, Yusei?" the brunette declared, giving his signature toothy grin as he winked. Yusei opened his eyes and smiled, his hand just barely covering his genuine smile. He wasn't one to suddenly start laughing but he will admit, this was pretty priceless.

Yusei shook his head. "Well, it's not like we could get cards anyway, we wouldn't be able to play them back in our hometowns, I'm sure." Judai's grin dimmed down a bit and chucked slightly, looking off to the side. "Well, That's the thing Yusei, I'm more of a wanderer myself, trying to find the next big thing or anyone I could be of help to." This surprises Yusei. He's actually been traveling along for who knows how long now just on his own with a cat and two spirits that guide him along the way? He began to worry for Judai and yet able to connect with him. He said he decided to leave his friends behind, believing to make sure they were able to part a whole lot easier to follow their paths and he never did like goodbyes. But he felt a bit of regret for it so he hopes that while traveling he can find them one by one. He really does have such high hopes and dreams. He's so...passionate.

The brunette stretched his arms up into the air as he looked at the clock. Oh crap, Judai worried. It was already two o'clock. Yusei had told him that he will stay with him for the day. He was going to time-hop back to his era at midnight, such a cliche time to leave. Judai wanted to bond with Yusei even more at any cost and he needed to do it fast!

He began to rub his cheek, trying his best to think, but he couldn't. This feeling of when Yusei's cheek touched his was odd. His skin wasn't exactly smooth, but that mark on the man's cheek was. Yusei explained to him what the mark was on their way to the shop which he couldn't believe that someone like him went to a facility like that, let alone a society like that. But, Yusei had his reasons, and for that, he even built his Planetary Go just to confront his friend. Then, he was able to pull through and met with destined friends that were all bound by a mark. Now, together, they were gonna fight their hardest in the WRGP. He really does keep his friends on his mind along with wishes to find the next thing to do. He's so...thoughtful.

Judai began to smile in admiration when he felt that Yusei was looking at him from behind. He quickly turned around as Yusei looked at him with concern. "Something up?" he asked. Judai shook his head, smiling sheepishly. "Naw! I just got a great idea, though. Maybe we can see if we can get some of that gelato ice cream? I never got to try it myself." Yusei nodded. "That does sound really good. Besides, it seems you're pretty hot," he said as the two walked towards the door.

"Uh, yeah, man. But you too, like, you have no idea," Judai said as he closed the door behind him, smiling in curiosity.

Well, well, seems there is a bit of feelings starting to grow between the two. They feel like they're really connecting and refreshed in meeting someone so different from what they're used to. But it seems time is running out. Can Judai be able to enjoy this day as much as possible with Yusei? Please let me know! I'm even thinking of adding a duel.
