Pairing: Established Dai x Susumu.
Summary:
At some point, a man's gotta choose what's more important.
"Light! Where are you? Rin is massacring us!"
"Dai? Dai? Dai, are you listening to me?" Susumu demanded over the turret fire. Back in reality.
Dai wasn't. He was totally in it. The game on his phone.
Susumu pulled the headset mic off Dai's head, holding it between his hands in a pose that Dai interpreted as seconds from "I'm crushing these."
"Ah! Susumu, I was playing that! Don't! Those are expensive!"
"Tough luck, Dai! Have you listened to a word I've said? I've been trying to have a conversation with you for the past five minutes!"
"I don't interrupt you when you're listening to Ayama Luna!"
"What? You glower and shout at me until I take my earbuds out!"
To emphasize his coach was in the wrong, Gotetsu stoned Dai's forehead with pebbles.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Yeah, well…Ayama Luna is a girl! This is just a game!"
"So you get to ignore me and play your game with Light-kun and Kaisei-kun and Rin-chan, but I can't jam to Luna-chan's songs?"
"Song, Susumu! You listen to one song over and over! Don't pretend you don't!"
Toxic boy alert.
"But it's Luna-chan~!"
"So Ayama Luna's famous! And she's an awesome coach! And she's…" Dai trailed off.
A grenade had exploded in his brain.
"Crap. She's stealing my man." He realized he should step up.
"Susumu, what kind of guy do you like?"
"An awesome guy. A guy who's strong and who'll put me first."
"I guess I…haven't been that guy." Dai rubbed the mark left by Gotetsu's pebbles.
Susumu giggled into his hands and therefore Dai's headset, confusing Kaisei, but not Light and Rin.
"Dai? Hello, Dai? Are you there?"
"Sorry, Dai can't come to his Taicon right now, Kaisei-kun! Call back in a million years!"
Dai was suddenly acutely aware: Those were Susumu's legs locked around his chest.
The duality of his love for gaming and love for his friend.
"You're such a killjoy, Susumu!"
"Look who's talking, Dai!" Gotetsu challenged irreverently, as Dai and Susumu made up.
The Gorikishin honestly didn't expect it to all work out. Yet it did.
