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 41: Not Just Anybody in Meeeg-chan's Skirt
"Chupataro?"
"Yes…chupa?"
Yuhi hadn't said a word since the training session at the Rush Duel Dojo ended. He simply walked out to the pedal-operated car Chupataro drove for his second job, and hung back for Chupataro to get in and take them to the Black Goat, where they could have the utmost privacy to discuss the Beast Drive Mega Elephant in the room.
London, Manya, and Bochi would have to make other travel arrangements.
At first glance, Yuamu's glasses had cracked due to the silliness of Yudias cosplaying as Meeeg-chan when it was his turn to give his rendition of a drawn card's summoning chant.
Twin telepathy stated it was Yuhi's jealousy echoing through his sister.
The card Chupataro drew was Yudias' Galactica Amnesia, so come what may, Yudias drew Chupataro's Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan. Each person who drew a card drew the card owned by the person directly before or after him/herself in the queue. The twelve-card Deck composed of everyone's monsters was totally stacked!
Everyone's monsters minus Asaka and Yuna's, that is. The Presidents of Mutsuba Heavy Machinery and Goha Company were exempt from taking part in the festivities, strangely.
Chupataro called Yudias "cute." After rejecting the idea he'd ever date Yudias! And his admiration persisted, even once Yudias was out of costume!
It wasn't hyperbole. Chupataro's heart audibly ba-thumped in his chest. He gushed about Yudias' cuteness, then wrestled with himself over it, blushing. He didn't clap to congratulate Manabu and Nyandestar on their reconciliation or winning summoning chant. He was too enamoured with Yudias to even put his robot's hands together!
Chupataro knew he needed to say something, but was postponing his apology to let Yuhi talk first. Yuhi had every reason to be upset with him, and Chupataro didn't want Yuhi to feel he didn't have the high ground to scream at him.
Chupa deserves it, chupa.
"I thought you'd hit on anybody in Meeeg-chan's skirt, but that isn't it, is it, Chupataro?" Yuhi looked out toward Mutsuba Tower with dull eyes.
"Chupa…"
"Chupataro, do ya really think Yudias is cute?"
"It was a reflex, chupa!"
"A reflex you didn't have when Yuamu cosplayed as Meeeg-chan?"
"Her costume wasn't as accurate, chupa!" Chupataro didn't have any other explanation.
Yuhi opened his mouth and closed it. Okay. Chupataro could have that one. Otaku obsessed over minute details like that. "I'm not mad at you, Chupataro. Or Yudias."
"Really, chupa? Because you seem mad, chupa."
It wasn't that it wasn't painful. Yuhi was just more tired tumbling down the hill than he was with the bumps he racked up during the tumble.
"It's me. I'm not good enough."
"That's not true, chupa! Why are you blaming yourself for something Chupa did, cabra?"
"I couldn't defeat Yuna. Or Zuwijo. You think Yudias is cute. I feel kinda useless lately."
"Cabra…"
Yuhi shut the screen door behind him in Chupataro's face. Not in anger, but apathy.
Chupataro wished it was anger.
Yuhi was a shadow behind the screen door's partitioned glass. A shadow of himself. Gloomy. Undulating. Like Earthdamar.
"I'm a second-rate Duelist. I ain't cute enough for my boyfriend. Who am I?"
"You're Ohdo Yuhi, chupa!"
The breath Yuhi took was almost fair concession for breathing in the stink of Chupataro's apartment, whiffs of which escaped to the balcony.
"Chupataro, you –!"
"If today has proven anything, it's that your name doesn't belong on Chupa's lips, chupa! You're too good to Chupataro, chupa! Cute…cool…Chupa is stupid for taking Chupa's eyes off you for Yudias for a second, cabra!"
The speech was darling, but wasn't why Yuhi's tear ducts were welling up. Nor was it the odour.
Chupataro had used his name.
Without it being a slip of the tongue.
Without hastily denying he ever said it.
The name was in reference to him, and not his namesake monster, Magical Sheep Crossdresser Yuhi.
"Chupa won't call Yudias cute again, chupa!"
Yuhi slammed the screen door open. If Chupataro's heart had ba-thumped in his chest for Yudias, it was ba-thump-thump-thumping out of his rib cage, out his chest, and out his robot's chest for Yuhi!
"You…That's –!"
Yuhi was in full costume.
"I know you won't do it again, Chupataro." Yuhi gulped down the cringe and winked.
"CA-CABRA~!"
He'd taken Meeeg-chan's wand and essentially arrowed the fork tines through Chupataro's heart. Chupataro fell over and out of his robot, steam rising off his red-hot face.
Yuhi sat next to Chupataro, waiting for Chupataro to simmer down. Literally.
"Back from the other side? Ya still with me?"
"Meeeg-chan?" Chupataro blinked with a goofy grin. "Chupa was half his Life Points from making it into Heaven, when God said 'No!' Did you give Chupa mouth-to-mouth? You have Chupa's thanks, chupa!"
"Chupataro…" Yuhi's judgment was anything but solemn.
"Okay, not Meeeg-chan. Yuhi." Chupataro slid himself upright. "You're cute and cool and the one for Chupa, chupa!"
Yuhi soaked up every syllable. The repetition of "Yuhi" tickled his spine.
"Even more when it's just you, chupa!"
"Does that mean I can be myself again and take off this ridiculous outfit?"
Assuming Chupataro was telling the truth about finding Yuhi cuter and cooler without the costume, he shouldn't be opposed, right?
*BUZZER!*
Chupataro wasn't lying, but he was still a freak for all things Meeeg-chan!
"Can you keep it on a while longer, chupa? Chupa treated you horribly, so maybe you could punish Chupa for a while, cabra?"
"CHU-PA-TA-RO!" Yuhi stepped on Chupataro's back a few times in Meeeg-chan's booties – with accompanying written sound effects – inadvertently giving Chupataro precisely what he asked for.
