Studying has always been something that simply just comes to Ryouga. He's never been one for heaps of friends, and the friends that he did end up making were polite and introverted enough to not need his attention every second of the day so he was more than able to get all the study he needs done.

That is, except for one.

He's not even sure why he downloaded the stupid app in the first place; Yuma had found it through a friend and insisted every one of his friends get it because it was so fun – Ryouga didn't see how it was fun at all. Take a stupid picture, attach a caption and send it to the person so that they could look at it for three seconds before it was deleted forever; Ryouga thought the idea was absolutely stupid and refused to download the app.

That is, until Rio made an offhand comment about being able to check up on each other without actually having to video call each other – look, this way you can see that I'm okay without actually having to waste time – and he wishes he'd thought of something like that before, but begrudgingly downloads the app.

Yuma finds out immediately and before Ryouga can think twice about accepting his friend, thinking ah well he's got lots of friends, he won't annoy me all too often; he's done it and the beginning of his spiral into madness has begun.

A beeping resonates through his earphones, causing him to groan and pull his phone from his pocket to check the inevitable message from him; only Yuma and Rio actually contact him frequently, sometimes with the odd message or call from Kaito or missed calls from IV that go straight to voicemail. He stares at the snapchat notification for a few seconds before sighing and opening the app. He spots the little red notification next to Yuma's stupid username, sighing again as he holds the name down to open up the file.

An image of Yuma's face pops up, his face practically dripping from excitement as he holds a deck in one hand, accompanied with the message 'I'm bored lets duel!" Ryouga rolls his eyes and lets the message time out, dropping his phone onto the desk and returning his attention to the book in front of him.

A small part of him chastises himself for not turning the phone off, but the music he's listening to is pouring from the device so he's accidentally caught himself between a rock and a hard place, and it's not even five minutes before the phone vibrates viciously, shaking the whole table and gaining Ryouga's attention.

He groans, opening the message, giving a tiny smile at Yuma's pouty face comes up on the screen. He rolls his eyes, dropping the phone to the table again and running his hands through his hair before turning back to the book. He stares at the book, his eyes scanning but not reading anything he sees. He's distracted enough that he knows now that he's not going to get any work done, but that doesn't mean that he's going to give in to Yuma.

The phone vibrates a third time and he doesn't even bother checking to see the message before sliding into the camera section, giving his best scowl as he holds the phone at arm's length, taking the picture and bringing it back within his eye's reach. He types in a small message – leave me alone I am studying – before sending it and slumping against the chair. He only has to wait a second before a reply, an exaggerated frown washing over his face, is that a no? and Ryouga runs his hands down his face, grabbing his deck from his desk and getting to his face, sending the photo of himself with a scowl and don't you dare cry when you lose! before removing himself from the seat and making his way to the door, his thoughts running a constant stream of how could someone so cute be so god damn annoying?
