A/N: Thought I'd at least try to throw something together for a Valentine's Day special...since it's been a while. Anyway, enjoy the cheese! Might also keep this being slightly AU-ish but not a full blown AU (because I have too many and more incoming X'D).

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner(s). I only claim my OCs.

Cheesy Pick Ups:

(Yusei's POV)

During down times from working on the Runners, I tended to find myself heading to the hangout that Ren performed at. Some days would be packed full for a concert. Most days, though, would be practice or chill for the band to prepare for a night concert. The latter were the only times we'd get a chance to even talk. Of course, his greetings started getting a bit more...interesting.

"I swear someone must have stolen the stars in the sky and put them in your eyes," he greeted, sitting next to me at the bar.

I quirked an eyebrow. "Going straight for the flirt? Not even going to get a drink first?" I retorted with a smirk.

"Uh, wait, uh-" His face became red as he stuttered.

"I'm teasing, Ren. Calm down."

"I didn't offend you with it, did I?"

"I think you'd know if I was. But that wasn't the cheesiest pickup I've heard."

His face went from nervous to a cheeky grin. "Oh, is that a challenge? I can find more cheesy pickups."

"You sure you want to do that? I don't lose easily."

"Well I've got a whole list of 'em, so I'm sure there will be at least one that gets you flustered."

This ought to be interesting. "All right, let's hear them."

Ren pondered for a second and then spoke again. "If you were a fruit, you'd be a fine-apple."

"Mm, try again."

"Okay...I'm writing a phone book. Can I get your number?"

"Nope, not doing it."

"Are you a keyboard? Because you're just my type."

"Not quite."

"Mm...uhh...Remember me? Oh, that's right, I've only met you in my dreams."

"That was a close one. Anything else."

"Ah, um, lemme think...f***. Think that was the best one I could remember off the top of my head." Ren slumped against the counter.

"How about I give it a shot." I pushed myself up from the seat.

"Yeah, go ahead. But I warn ya, I'm a tough nut to crack, too." Oh we'll see about that.

I came up to his side which caused him to look up. He looked a bit confused and also a bit nervous. I leaned a bit closer. "Call me a thief, because I'm looking to steal your heart."

That did it. Ren's face went beet red and he brought his hands up to cover his face. "God dammit..."

"Do I win?"

"Shut up!" I chuckled at his response.

(No one's POV)

Allen turned to the other band mates at the end of the conversation. "So, anyone surprised?"

"Nope."

"Nah."

"Saw it comin' a mile away."

A/N: Yeah, short again but only because the original premise was hard for me to figure out (basically during the dating phase and Ren just randomly popping around and saying the pickup lines). And I doubt I could ever see Ren being as smooth as he thinks XD I just like writing him as a dork, what can I say? And I did look up a website with like eighty different pickup lines because I can't come up with anything in this brain (though some are slightly tweaked).

Well, happy (slightly early) Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you enjoy it however you like!
