A/N: Here's some more random scenes to end the year with. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only claim my OC(s).
The Smallest Things 2:
(Scene 1)
(Yusei's POV)
"All right, that's it. I give up!" Ren exclaimed, shutting the door behind him.
"What's wrong?" I asked, looking up from my work.
"What isn't wrong? AJ's been going in and out so often, and not because of the usual things! Plus, she's been spending a lot of time on the phone."
"That's unusual?"
"Yes, for her. She hardly uses it unless to call Jazz, Eric, or me. It's completely out of the ordinary for her."
"All right. When did this start?"
"Uhh...several days ago, I think."
Oh, I know what's going on, I thought when he replied. "Any other little clues you forgot to mention?"
"The only thing she told me when I asked her was 'ask Yusei' and then left."
"Okay, remember a little over two weeks ago when Kalin visited here?"
"Yes, I remember. What does that have to do with AJ's weird behavior?"
Really, Ren? I sighed. "Well, how about this. I saw them exchange numbers before he headed back. Is that enough of a hint?"
He still looked a bit confused until everything started to slowly click. "Oh...Oh!"
"Yeah."
"Well how come I wasn't told?!"
"And how well were you to hear AJ dated other guys in the past?"
"..."
"That's why."
"I was nice to a few of them!"
"She told me you pulled the overprotective brother card on every single one of them. Including a few of the girls she dated."
"Fine, fair point."
(Scene 2)
(Yusei's POV)
"Hey, Yusei," Ren said, leaning his head on my shoulder.
"Yes?"
"Did you know I have a tattoo?"
I blinked, looking up from my laptop toward him. "Since when?"
"Since my eighteenth birthday, for one."
"Then why haven't I seen it?"
"Maybe because it's in a place you haven't seen yet."
"I swear, if you say it's on your ass-"
"What? No. I'm not putting a tattoo down there."
"Then where-?"
"It's on my lower back."
"That's still awfully close."
"Ha ha, funny."
"Well, now that you've got my interest. What is it?"
"Flames in the shape of wings, of course."
"That honestly doesn't surprise me, considering your deck."
"Hey!"
(Scene 3)
(Ren's POV)
I groaned a little when I heard the blaring sounds of my alarm clock. I reached over and hit the snooze button, not yet registering the weight on my back. Ugh, I really don't want to get up, but I did promise Yusei I'd try waking up in the morning. Let's crawl out of the comfy bed, I thought sleepily, beginning my attempt to slide out of the bed.
Only, I was unable to. No, not in the way of 'I just don't want to get up.' More like something's literally preventing me by not only laying on my back but also a tight grip on my waist. It took me a few minutes to realize who it was and groan again. Seriously? I thought you were the morning person, Yusei! I reached around (barely) with a hand, grabbing his shoulder and shaking it. "Hey, Yusei. Wake up! It's morning!"
It didn't seem to faze him. "Yusei! Morning! Get uuup!" I shook harder, but again nothing. "How deep asleep are you?!" There's no way he's asleep past six in the morning. He must be in a coma!
"Ren, is everything okay in there?" AJ asked after knocking.
"AJ, help! I think Yusei's in a coma and has me in a lock hold!"
She opened the door, a confused look on her face. "What?"
"I said, I think he's in a coma and he won't let me go."
"You're exaggerating, Ren." She went over, shaking his shoulder. She was a bit surprised when he didn't even open his eyes. "Oh wow, he's really asleep."
"See?!"
"Okay, give me a minute." She walked out. After a few minutes, she came back. "I might have a solution."
"Please tell me it involves sliding me out of his grip."
"Sort of." She leaned over, whispering something in his ear. Immediately, he shot up into a sitting position.
"What?!" he exclaimed.
"There, he's awake. Goodbye." AJ walked out.
"Are you going to leave without telling me how you got him up?"
"Nope~"
"Evil sister..."
Yusei groaned a little, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "What was that about..?"
"Two things. One, what the hell did she say to you to make you wake up that quickly? Two, what in the world kind of dream were you having to make you sleep like a log!?"
(Scene 4)
(Ren's POV)
"God dammit, stop saying that!" I said, lightly pushing Yusei away.
He laughed. "Why?"
"You're making me turn red!"
"Isn't that the point?"
"Not when you make it your purpose to see how red I can get!"
"Keep that up, people will think you're a tsundere."
"I am not, and where did you learn that word?!"
"I believe it's something called the Internet."
"Ugh! I give up!" I leaned back into the couch, crossing my arms over my chest. My purpose must have looked like I was trying to sink in and disappear into the furniture.
Yusei leaned over to me. "Although, I do have to admit you look cute when turning red because of me."
A/N: And with that, we shall end the year with that. Happy New Years, guys! This will be hopefully heading to almost 100 chapters before the end of 2018! Plus a bit of a present for the year anniversary for this oneshot series. I mentioned it last time and I will be keeping to it. See ya in the next installment!
