Chapter 2: Looking In
Yusei gasped as he sat up sharply, hands grasping at the blanket more firmly than necessary. Slowly, his breath returned to normal and his death grip lessened as he slipped from the bed.
Opening the door, he paused briefly. Ever since Kalin had joined the group, Crow was found more often than not snuggled into bed with him. So Yusei turned in the opposite direction down the hall of their shabby hideout and entered Jack's room.
The blonde was lying on his side, one arm under his head for support. Quietly, Yusei slid into the space behind his back, pressing his own back against the taller teen's.
"Hm?" Jack stirred lightly, turning his head to see who had entered his space.
"Bad dream," Yusei muttered quickly, pulling the blanket up to his chin.
Jack snorted lightly but made no other comment and let his head return to resting on his arm.
Yusei sighed softly, shifted so their backs were more firmly pressed together, closed his eyes, and breathed in deeply, letting Jack's presence calm and lull him back to sleep.
A short time later, the door opened again to reveal Crow shifting nervously on his feet, a sheepish grin on his face.
Yusei grinned and beckoned Crow over, who gladly accepted the offer.
As the two shifted to make room, Jack muttered something about why they had chosen his bed, but Yusei just smiled, once again lying comfortably between his two best friends.
...
Morning came and Kalin stared in amused bewilderment at the three teens crammed on the small bed, one of Crow's arms and legs sprawled across Yusei who was still back-to-back with Jack.
Kalin just sighed.
So here, I'm thinking Crow also had a nightmare and sought out Yusei out of habit, who happened to be in Jack's room. And yes. Reverseshipping. Because it is completely under-appreciated and I ship it to death. But I don't think Crow and Kalin are together in this one yet. It's more in the "getting closer" stage. Which also explains why Crow went to Yusei rather than Kalin.
