A/N: Here's some more fluff! Also, coming with an extra update with a suggestion from Sister Of The Pharaoh. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only own my OC(s).
Get A Smile:
(Yusei's POV)
"Ren, what are you doing?"
"You're in one of those moods again. I'm trying to make you happy," he replied. His chin rested on top of my head while his arms were laying lazily around my neck.
In the time since we met, I've noticed Ren had the tendency to drop everything he was doing to cheer up the people around him. Whether it was a duel or telling a (really bad) joke, he'd do what he could to bring a smile out. So to see him get together with someone as serious as me seemed pretty shocking, especially after meeting an ex of his, Ace. It didn't seem to make much sense to the others.
"And what would these moods be?" I asked.
"Mm..."
"Ren, come on. You can tell me."
"Well...you get that distant look in your eyes, like you're not exactly thinking about what's going on here and now. Plus, you get more solemn. I don't like seeing that."
There's definitely no end to finding out how observant Ren is. It often seemed that Ren's attention was all over the place, but he can zero in on when there's something wrong. Lately, he's been showing a side that's a bit different from how he acts in front of others...and I don't mind it. I kind of liked this side of him being more private than public.
"I've had a lot on my mind is all. There's nothing to worry about," I told him.
"But I have to worry! I don't like seeing you take all the burdens, and I'm sure everyone else feels the same," he replied, a bit of the last part being muffled. He must have changed his head's position to having his face on the top of my head instead of his chin.
I gave a small smile. I feel like a part of me forgets that Ren said he'd help with whatever he could, no matter how hard. Ren's had a lot on his plate as well, but he's like me and willing to help with anything despite that. Seems like he's reminding me why I fell for him, I thought, closing the laptop and setting it on the table nearby.
"Yusei? What are you-" I cut Ren off by pulling him down onto the couch with me, causing him to yelp a bit once he lands on top of me. His blue-green eyes blink with surprise and a bit of red dusts his cheeks. "The hell, man? A bit of warning would have been nice!"
I smiled. "You know, you keep reminding me the reason we're together."
"Huh?"
"You're always wanting to help, not caring about your own problems and putting them aside in favor of others." I brought a hand to the right side of his face, my thumb brushing one of the two scars near his eye. "And I like being the one to see this more serious side of you. Makes it feel more special."
He blinked, the red growing a bit more. "Geez, why are you the romantic out of the two of us?" He relaxed on top of me, his face partly hiding on my chest.
I chuckled, running a hand through his dark brown hair. "Maybe I like showing this side of me to you."
Ren lifted his head up a bit. "Well, got any more surprises to show me?"
I gave a smirk. "Perhaps."
"Knock it off, you two. I don't want to be cleaning that couch," AJ said as she walked past.
"Dammit, AJ! We're not doing it on the couch!" Ren retorted, pushing up enough to glare at his sister's back.
"Not taking any chances while I'm still here!"
"Grr...I swear, if you weren't my sister..."
I shook my head, pulling him back down. "Come on, you two. Be nice."
"...she started it..."
A/N: I promise not all theses scenes are going to have AJ in them...just the ones where I felt needed a little chuckle XD
