A/N: Holy cow, how did this oneshot story get so popular? O_O I was NOT expecting it to get so popular in such a short amount of time. Like, it beat the total views on my Legend of Korra/Cirque Du Freak crossover Split Destinies by (I think) the third month it was out. Just...wow. Anyway, have a little funny oneshot before I bring out some (slightly) serious ones!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only own my OC(s).
A Quick Pick Me Up:
(Yusei's POV)
"Ren, this is a bad idea."
"No, it's not. I've gotten stronger."
"You're going to hurt yourself."
"Pff, come on! Give me a bit more credit. I've been able to lift up a lot of those boxes of parts you get."
"...you're not going to give up on this, are you?"
"Nope~! Not until I get proven wrong."
I sighed. Better to do it now and not when he tries to surprise me. "All right, let's get this over with."
"Yes!" Ren got behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist. While by no means I think Ren is weak (I've seen him fight quite a bit and he's pretty good), I don't want him to overdo himself and get hurt which happens often. Thankfully, nothing serious has happened yet, but I'd feel better if he didn't constantly try to look for ways to accidentally get hurt. "Okay, just hold still."
Like I'm going to increase the chances of you getting hurt, I thought. His grip tightened around my waist and then he lifted me off the ground. I started feeling him strain a bit. "Ren, be careful," I warned. The first time he ever tried doing this, we both ended up on the ground, groaning.
He set me down after a few seconds, trying to catch his breath. "How...much..?"
"I'd say about half an inch. That's actually better than-" A thud cut off my sentence. "And he's down for the count." I sighed, bending down to pick him up. "Well, at least we're at his place when he did this."
A/N: Okay, so this is a bit of a personal joke with Ren. He does get to a point where he's not straining as much (though, I think in Dragons' Souls he'd probably be able to do it a bit easier 'cause he's handled with heavy lifting more; the only problem would be his prosthetic leg).
Anyway, going to the first author's note, I'm glad that people are enjoying this story. I was actually expecting kind of the same treatment with the other stories (like not many people viewing it) or hate ('cause, you know, the people who seem to hate anything to do with OCs when they could just ignore these stories). I do have two more pending, but I might have them posted next month unless I can write them up in time for the end of this month. This is partly because I've got some other stories to update (*cough* Split Destinies *cough*). At any rate, thanks for reading and hope you've enjoyed so far. ^^
