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 11: Fork in za Road
"Ya all right? Your cheeks are hot!"
Chupataro swatted Yuhi's palms off his face. He was curled up in his true form in Yuhi's lap, like a guard dog defending his owner while his owner slept, which was what Yuhi should have been doing. Sleeping.
Over umpteen fanatical fantasies, it'd been Meeeg-chan's lap Chupataro napped in. Her poof ball dress he rested his claws on. Her gloved fingers stroking his cranial spikes while a snot bubble inflated and deflated out his nostril. Her ringing mememelody that lulled him toward the woolly world of sleep and sheep.
Shleep.
For it to be Ohdo Yuhi – for Chupataro to have grown comfortable with the idea it was Ohdo Yuhi – the planets must've been shepherded into a once-per-millennium alignment.
Yuhi loved him. He'd admitted it. That was a thing that happened! Chupa, that was a thing that happened!
Would he and Yuhi stroll a snowy town square arm in arm? Or begin pitchforking the Duelists they defeated together and feasting on their blood, as he and Meeeg-chan did in his screwier, out-to-pasture imaginings? Oh, Mary Had a Little Lamb's Mary! Chupataro was jumping…
The Twin-Barrel?
The Sharkmegalon?
Mad?
"Worry about yourself and get some shleep, chupa!" Chupataro un-drooled his drool.
"But I defied the Great Prophecy! Jointech Tossceratops tossed 'em onto their UFO with Breakthrough Gigantic, ha ha ha!" Yuhi bragged. "I'm MACHO!"
"You're barely over a third of the bottle from Cheekoo rank, chupa! So you beat Nomuratodamas, chupa! You won that Duel by dumb luck, cabra!"
"Nomura-kun and Damas-san!"
"Don't they go by Nomuratodamas, chupa?"
"My version's funnier!" Yuhi plapped Chupataro's cheeks twice. "Hey, you're really burning up! Is it me? Is it my hands? Are you cold-blooded like a lizard too?"
What Yuhi didn't comprehend about chupacabra biology could fit in an MIK warehouse! The reason Chupataro's cheeks were heating up wasn't his derision re: Yuhi's performance during his Duel with the Chapeau alien and its partner/host. It wasn't even Yuhi touching his face and making him feel warm.
No, the reason his cheeks were hot could be traced to the "ghost" that'd been terrorizing Yuhi. As he'd expressed to Yuamu, Chupataro meant to chuchu and chupa the ghost, but the ghost was cleverer than anticipated.
"Indeed, we know what Mr. Chupataro is hiding as well, sky."
"Chupaaa!" Chupataro glared into the dark, seething through his human and chupacabra teeth at the investigative extortionist who wasn't there.
"What's goin' on with you?" Yuhi put bluntly.
"You told them you didn't care, chupa! That was a lie, cabra!"
"Who?"
"The Informant, cabra!"
"Fisher Sukai?"
"Sky, sky, sky~! Ba-da~!" the hive organism's eerie tune replayed inside their heads.
"Chupataro! Like I said before, I don't care what they had to say!" He couldn't resist petting Chupataro a little.
"Bra?" Yuhi's firm reiteration surprised Chupataro.
"Is that right, sky? Are you sure about that, sky?"
"I don't care what Chupataro's hiding! You're not turning me against him because of it!"
"I gather there's no advantage to me informing on him then, sky?"
"None!"
"Chupa?"
"I really don't. I don't care. And even if I did, I learned how t'lie I don't from the best! Chupataro, I don't know what this new thing you're hiding from me is, but I won't bug you about it. I trust ya!"
"You've never trusted Chupa before, cabra."
"You're not the only one who's changed. I mean, all it takes is Egil Velgear, and a giant monster could gobble me up out of nowhere and that'd be it for me! Life's too short…I was arguing with you, when I should've been appreciating every second I had with you!"
"Chupabra…"
"So you don't have to say anything, Chupataro. Not unless you want to?"
Chupataro didn't. Whatever he was keeping from Yuhi, it was in Golondrinas Jail. For now, at least.
"The Informant had photocopies of those other tests you failed, chupa." Chupataro switched topics.
"PH-PHOTOCOPIES? B-BUT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING UP FOR THE ZEROES AT HOME! IF TAZAKI-SAN AND THE OTHERS FIND OUT I BURIED THEM IN HIS GARDEN TO GET OUT OF DOING THEM –!"
"Relax, chupa! Chupa bought them off them, cabra!"
"How much?"
"Expensive, chupa! You should reward Chupa for taking care of it so your employees don't suspect you, chupa!"
"W-where are they? Where are the copies now?" Yuhi eeked and shook Chupataro as though a tarantula had crawled onto his bed.
"A regular Lightning Braver, aren't you, chupa?"
"WHERE ARE THE COPIES, CHUPATARO?"
"Chupa chupa'd them all, cabra!"
"Ah. Ah, you did? PHEW! I can let the teacher know my alien ate my homework?"
"Chuchuchuchucabra! Your alien, cabra?"
"Yup! My alien!"
"What does that make Yudias, cabra?"
"Oh, that's right!" Yuhi hadn't considered. "But if I tell the teacher my boyfriend ate my homework, the teacher might not believe me!"
"Fine, chupa! Chupa will follow you to class and chupa the teacher, chupa!" Chupataro exaggerated (Yuhi presumed). "Tomorrow, you duelling in the Coruffium again, chupa?"
"Mm! Gonna continue beatin' opponents until our Rush Battlers are brimmin' with Duel Power! Are you comin' with us?"
"Chupa's meeting somebody tomorrow, chupa."
Connected to what he was hiding, and why he was omitting the individual's identity, no doubt.
"UTS! We shouldn't waste any more time then, huh?" Yuhi didn't push, instead patting the part of his leg they'd learned Chupataro nested most snugly.
Reward time.
Chupataro sprang up, circled around like a dog again, and reset himself in Yuhi's lap.
"Mememelody! Mememelody! Mememelody! Mememelody! Mememelody!" Yuhi sang to Chupataro, stroking his lead cranial spike. "Cattle Meetimeetion!"
