Fortunately, the wounds that the bar brawl which Kai and Gaillard got involved in only left two wounds—the tear on the shoulder of Gaillard's coat and the tear on Gaillard's forehead. After going to the nearest hospital to have a doctor stitch up the latter, both of them stayed back in the waiting room as Kai worked on the former wound with needle and thread.
"Well, Kai Toshiki, what do you say now? It's not a good idea to pick fights with guys twice your size, isn't it?" Gaillard thought he was scolding, but in actuality he was only capable of slurring. He placed his palm protectively across the stitches close to his hairline and refused to look at Kai directly.
"It is not." What Kai wanted to say was, 'I think I caught the habit from you.'
He was seemingly as absorbed as he would be when completing a Home Economics project. At the back of his mind, he was looking out for a chance to discreetly poke Gaillard with the needle. Perhaps a few minutes later, when the painkillers that Gaillard had taken had diffused more thoroughly.
They ignored each other until Kai was done with fixing the centrepiece of Gaillard's outfit and had draped it across his lap. At the reminder of Kai's presence, Gaillard turned towards Kai and removed the hand covering his stitches.
"Go on, make it up to me." He taunted. "Tell me that I look more hardcore."
"I don't think so," Kai replied. "In fact, I can barely see it."
His claim was the perfect excuse for him to lean closer to Gaillard and in a flash, stung the base of Gaillard's neck with the needle concealed in his palm. In the next flash, Gaillard attacked the same part of his body. With his teeth.
"Fuck, you're disgusting," Kai complained.
When he rubbed against the part where Gaillard had bitten him, his fingers came away with a speck of blood. As he left to inspect it in the toilet, he heard Gaillard shout after him, "It's also not a good idea to pick a fight with someone half your size!"
Was this how hanging out would be, hanging out without the order of card games?
A/N: A short piece today as I need more time to be properly digest today's episode. While the majority of fandom are fuming over triggers, I personally like GaiKai cardfights for basically just being outlets for aggression. Sometimes a children's card game function to teach good values and other times it functions to allow some insecure young men to conduct one-man witch-hunts and others to channel a mythical fire-breathing beast.
