Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 9: Danger! Chupacabra!
A delivery scooter vroomed through Mutsuba Town, two helmeted riders sharing the seat.
"Chupataro, should you be out on the open road this soon after wakin' up from your coma? What if your arms fall asleep and you cause an accident?"
"Should you be riding with Chupa this soon after having your consciousness chupa'd by a giant monster, chupa?" Chupataro parried, notably softer on the sarcasm. "What if you fall off the back and tumble into the car behind Chupa, cabra?"
"It's Mutsuba Town! There're hardly any vehicles to watch out for!"
"Except the President's bucket-wheel chupa-vator, chupa."
"You got that right!" Yuhi shivered. "I guess when you're loaded, there's nothing money can't fix or pave over! Emphasis on the pave over!"
"Chupa ain't playing, chupa! Hold on tight, cabra!"
Yuhi toughened around Chupataro's robot midsection. It was weird how they both almost died, but it was even weirder how they were now behaving towards one another. Chupataro was tamer than before his incident, and Yuhi wasn't ragging on him as much. They were figuring out the logistics of their new normal, whereas the transition back to relative normalcy with everybody else had been relatively uneventful.
"I heard from Yuamu there's a Meeeg-chan autograph signing this weekend. Wanna go?"
"No can do, chupa! All that time Chupa was hospitalized, chupa? That was unpaid time off, cabra!"
Chupataro was refusing an opportunity to gawk at Meeeg-chan. Ho-lee cow!
Actually, cancel the cow. Chupataro might eat the poor farm animal.
"I thought you steal everything you own? Wasn't the whole sushi delivery boy getup a front? Like, is this bike even yours?"
"It's a loaner from the sushi place, chupa!"
So even chupacabras require a stable source of income!
"Chupataro, can we talk about us?"
"Sure. Talk, chupa." Chupataro nevertheless focused on not crashing.
Yuhi hadn't expected it to be so straightforward. Proof Zuwijo's "marvelous plan" wasn't the sole seismic upheaval to rock the town's foundation in recent memory. Then again, the damage to the foundation was frankly more Mutsuba Asaka and EX6's doing, as opposed to Zuwijo's.
"We almost lost you." Yuhi deliberately avoided utilizing "I" to communicate his concern. "We, uh, found your picture of me – UAHHHHHHH!"
The scooter's tires skidded abruptly, and Yuhi smacked into the solid metal of Chupataro's tin can.
"Omigod Chupataro, what the heck?"
Chupataro parked to the side and plunked his shoes onto the street. "YOU SAW THE PHOTO, CHUPA?"
Yuhi gulped. "Um, yeah, we saw it. Listen, it's cool. I'll leave it alone. I get that I'm the stand-in until you win over Meeeg-chan."
"It's not going to work out between Chupataro and Meeeg-chan, chupa."
"I get if you're cagey because she punched your lights out at the TV studio, but c'mon! Chupataro giving up on Meeeg-chan? Haha, you can stop pulling my leg now!" Yuhi couldn't believe he was advocating on behalf of a fictional character poised to replace him.
"Some things happened to Chupa when Chupa was under, cabra."
"What?"
Chupataro felt like whipping his hood on, though he was wearing a helmet already. He hesitated whether this was the instant to unveil the confession he prepared during his confinement, but decided he'd lied enough.
"Chupa thought about it a lot, chupa. Chupa has…Chupa has always kept a part of Chupa apart from Chupa, chupa! Chupa was…Chupa was trying to wake up to see you again, cabra!"
Where'd the cow go? Cuz ho-lee cow! Yuamu was either a master meddler or bona fide psychic! She predicted Chupataro's move!
"Chupa told Meeeg-chan it's over, chupa."
"Over? Wh-what're you talking about?"
"Chupa was just waking up to the racket outside, chupa. Meeeg-chan appeared from Chupa's Duel Disk, so Chupa broke it off with Meeeg-chan, cabra."
"You broke up with a purple smog cloud?"
Chupataro ripped off his helmet and popped open his hatch, looking ready to lunge at him. Here he was, having a moment of honesty, and Yuhi was cracking a joke!
"Ah! Yes, yes! You broke up with Meeeg-chan! But why?" Aware he'd overstepped, Yuhi took it back, removing his helmet as well.
"CHUPA CHOSE YOU, CABRA!"
Yuhi's face displayed the same shock from almost being shocked in his electric deathmatch with Yudias during Manya's Training from Hell.
As he'd done surrounded by the duplicated images of Yuhi in his second soul room, Chupataro expelled salt like he never expelled salt before.
"Yuhi! Great, you're back! We have a client! Hi, Chupataro-kun!"
Yuhi hadn't noticed they were parked next to UTS.
"Oo, ah, hi, chupa."
"Who's the client, Yuamu?"
"It's Manya-chan's manager."
"Kirishima-chan?"
"Mr. Bellbottoms! He alive and kicking, chupa?" Chupataro laughed his tears away, not that Yuamu, the more perceptive twin, didn't notice.
"Yuamu, can you give me and Chupataro a sec?"
"Always have~!" She went on ahead.
"Chupataro, don't make it final with Meeeg-chan yet."
"Chupa?"
"I don't accept you'd blow your shot with her! We'll pretend you didn't say anything."
"Chupaaa…" Chupataro couldn't make heads or tails of Yuhi's proposal.
He turned, smiling. "I gotta work, but we'll talk more later! You better wrap up your sushi run too!"
"Yuhi!"
Yuhi's surprise bolted his boots to the cement. "Did you call me Yuhi?"
Chupataro flashed back to his dream, where he also slipped up. "D-did not, chupa!"
"Hahaha, I must've misheard!" Yuhi fibbed. "Bye, Chupataro!"
"Take this order of cucumber rolls with you, chupa!"
"Cucumber rolls? You been swimming with Kawai Tell?"
"Just take them, cabra!" Chupataro revved the engine, reclaiming a shred of his dignity and masculinity.
Yuhi chowed down out of the box. He was hungry after self-sabotaging out of guilt!
"UTS!"
