So I thought I could kill two birds with one stone.
Write a LONG OVERDUE 50 themes post.
And get a contest prize out to my wonderful friend, DaAmazingMeepers! She asked for a Peachshipping story where Anzu beats Yugi at a video game. Now given that I'm not very well versed in video games, they are going to be playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. I hope that's okay. It's my favorite game and, well, really the only one that I know about. This also takes place during Yugi's junior year.
^^;
Fun fact: I will be going through and changing all the American names to Japanese one's. I have a YGO headcanon that you can view on my Tumblr account. My username is acornerofthesky and you can read them under "writings."
Disclaimer: I don't own YGO.
Countdown
"5!"
"Dammit Anzu!"
"4!"
"Try to win after that kill!"
"3!"
"Just you wait—"
"2!"
"H-how did you do that?!"
"1!"
"Ha!"
"SUDDEN DEATH!"
Yugi whipped the joystick on the nunchuck back and forth, trying desperately to avoid Anzu's attacks while also trying to kick her off the gaming platform. The two were at it for hours since they got home from school. Neither were in the mood for a real adventure game or a thriller, Call of Duty just didn't sound fun for once, and Jou was borrowing FFVII. The remaining choice: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Yugi didn't mind though. The fighting game had some of his favorite characters and sometimes it was just nice to play a simpler game.
But that didn't stop him from getting wired.
"GAME!"
"How did you do that?" Yugi asked, incredulous that Zero Suit Samus was able to sneak up behind Ike and kick him off with a move he'd never seen before; course, he never really played with Samus before.
Anzu shrugged and gave him a cheeky smile. "I dunno. Skill I guess. Jealous?"
Yugi scoffed but smiled back. "Oh yeah. Because you have so much skill."
"Are you doubting my abilities?" She asked, giving him a playful shove.
"A bit, yes," he answered. "You are talking to the King of Games."
"Who just got his ass handed to him on Super Smash Bros! You've played much harder games!" Anzu gigged and Yugi huffed. "Maybe your title should be changed to 'King of Some Games.'"
"It's one game!" he sighed. "Actually, I'm generally impressed."
Anzu lifted her eyebrows. "Really."
He smiled genuinely at her. "Really!" He shyly gave her hand a gentle squeeze, got off the couch and stretched. "I'm going to get a can of pop. Want one?"
She nodded, a light shade of pink coloring her cheeks. "Yes please. You up for round 27?"
"Always!" He gave her a thumbs up and headed toward the kitchen. Just as he opened the fridge, the pharaoh appeared next to him.
"Enjoying yourself?" He asked, giving his shorter companion a knowing smile.
Yugi's fading blush deepened and he shifted his eyes so he could look at the pharaoh from the corner of his eye. "Just a bit."
"Did you purposefully let her win?"
Yugi shook his head and closed the fridge door with his foot, two cans of Coke in his hands as he walked back to the living room. "No. She actually beat me."
The pharaoh raised his eyebrows in surprise. "That's a first."
"Not really," Yugi said, leaning against the frame of the entranceway. Anzu was looking at him, a small smile on her lips. Yugi smiled back. "She beats me at a lot of things."
THAT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY CUTE. I REALLY LIKED THAT ONE.
Ahem, sorry. :)
