『 Yusaku 』

“I figured you would’ve been here because that’s what you’d wanted to do though. Talk.”

Even if Yusaku wasn’t really in the mood to talk, it still seemed suspicious that Ryoken would’ve wandered this way if he hadn’t come to say something. Not that Yusaku would’ve really drove him away either though. Somehow, the company was-

Soothing? Comforting? Nice…? Yusaku didn’t feel like being overly talkative, but he couldn’t bring himself to completely shut Ryoken out either. The other probably knew that much, too; but asking for Yusaku’s opinion on his own comfort zone was still more appreciated than Ryoken probably thought.

“Actually, I’m more surprised to see you even hanging around here so soon again. Aren’t you busy?”

In some way that might have been a reason he had came here. Or at least it was something he could pretend to be a reason, but eventually it didn’t matter because if Yusaku didn’t want to talk right now he would accept that instead of forcing him. 

“Maybe. But if you don’t want to talk that’s okay as well.” he replied eventually. Maybe he admitted something about himself and his motives with those words, but at this point Ryoken could barely care about it.  He wasn’t that aware of the fact of how his presences was influencing the other ones mood, but a few months ago - and it already felt like half of an lifetime - the younger one had admitted that he had been the only one that had been able to cross the abyss Yusaku had created around himself. Back at that time Ryoken hadn’t wanted to hear anything about it and instead had wanted to be mad and angry at the younger one but still...he never had forgotten those words either. 

“SOL is still trying to figure out what got changed about Link Vrains during the last weeks and tries to get it up to work normally again...the others are helping with it, I guess they can manage without me for a while..” he replied eventually, carefully while making sure not to mention the dark Ignis already, because maybe it was too soon. Maybe...probably Yusaku didn’t want to talk about it at all. 

“I guess I wanted to see how you’re doing.”

『 Tsuki 』‌

“Force?” Tsuki repeated, waiting for an elaboration. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t curious as to what exactly the leader would end up doing if Tsuki wasn’t obedient. Of course, he should listen to make plans move as smoothly as possible but! Sometimes thinking about what if scenarios was a good way to distract himself from deep dark thoughts.

“Exactly.” 

If the other one was thinking he wouldn’t find a way to chain the other one onto his bed if necessary Tsuki really was naive. The easiest way probably would be to stay there as well, but that was a break Ryoken couldn’t afford himself of having, but he was sure he could find other ways. And not he than Spectre certainly would know a thing or two.

『 Tsuki 』‌

Well, it seemed Tsuki was in a playful mood. Ryoken’s smile would only encourage him to be a pain to deal with. Leaning over the seat, he’d give a small nudge with his elbow.

“What are you going to do if I don’t listen, mm? Throw me off the boat? Haha…~”

He wouldn’t really mind if he drowned still- but Tsuki would be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy Ryoken’s rare smiles like that either. It made him forget all the pain he was going through.

Leaning back to his own side, he fixed his scarf. 

Raising an eyebrow at the others words Ryoken couldn't help himself make some disagreeing noise. As if he would do something like that. He already was rather well aware of the fact that the time he was allowed to spend with Tsuki was limited in the end. He wouldn't even think about something that would shorten it any further.

"No. But I would force you to rest."

『 Yusaku 』‌

“…” 

If the silence that’d met that voice and its question were any answer, then Yusaku was probably the farthest thing from okay. The fight with Ai, their duel, and everything that’d lead to up to now had definitely taken its toll. It’d been something Yusaku had thought about constantly since then-

Especially since it’d turned out that Ai had been more involved in things than what anyone had first thought—but did things really have to end the way that they had? And what Ai had said about the Ignis’ existence only causing destruction; could that have been changed, too?

“…Yeah.” Yusaku finally spoke up, his gaze never leaving the shimmering horizon line of the ocean even though he knew who was standing behind him. He could’ve recognized that voice anywhere by now.

“I didn’t think anyone else would’ve been down here though. It was supposed to have been quiet-”

Quiet so Yusaku could think on things even more.

His question was met with silence but maybe that was answer enough. As well as the one word reply he got eventually. And despite what Yusaku just said, Ryoken was rather sure that the other one was far away from being okay. But he would be one day.

If he had learned anything about the younger one, than that Yusaku was nothing if not determined. He already fought himself up from the ground once. There was no doubt he wouldn't do so again.

The unfinished sentence made him hum quietly. "I'm familiar to that way of thinking." he admitted eventually. After all... how many hours had he spend here breaking his head about everything and nothing at all?  

"You mind me if I stay? We don't have to talk."

Maybe it was a test. Maybe it was because he needed to prove something to himself.

If the younger one wouldn't be able to stand his presence alone... how was that future he always talked about supposed to work out at all?

@soulburnings​ || from here

This was awkward, Takeru had decided. So awkward, that he’d try to make leaving the present on the front step of the house he was in front of so inconspicuous, that he hoped he wouldn’t have to meet Ryoken face to face.

But he couldn’t go the entire Christmas season without getting him something either. They weren’t really on good speaking terms yet. In fact, Takeru wasn’t sure if they’d ever be, but he still felt the need to recognize Ryoken as someone he still thought about sometimes, too.

So, he’d leave the small box sitting on Ryoken’s front step.

It wasn’t much. Just a small box of chocolates in a box that seemed a lot fancier than what Takeru had paid for it, but the package did have his name on the gift tag. It was one slow step to rebuilding the ties they’d had before, Takeru figured.

Maybe, anyway.

Ryoken couldn’t say how long he was staring at the little box already. Hours, probably. And yet it still felt more like a dream than anything else. He hadn’t expected to get anything. Not from Takeru at least. Not after... everything. Of course there had been the attempt to explain himself but it was merely a step in the right direction. Into making it right again. 

Ryoken hat long since understood that he couldn’t expect anything from Takeru.  He might not have chosen to break ties like that, but it hadn’t been Takeru’s fault neither.  And if he had been more interested in finding out what had happened to his brother instead of listening to his father.. actually Ryoken felt like he finally had understood where exactly he had been wrong. 

And ever since he had understood that maybe... maybe there was no way to go back where they once have been. 

And yet Takeru had been here. The small box was a rather real prove of it. It actually was the first time Takeru reached out to him instead of the other way around. In the real world. It truly was more than Ryoken had dared at the beginning. 

“Merry Christmas to you too, Takeru.” he mumbled quietly, even though he knew the other wasn’t around to hear it. The small smile on his face held a firm sadness in it, that was way to visible in his eyes at this moment. But it was okay. He was alone, so there was no need to pretend he was strong. 

Maybe there was still hope for them left. Maybe Ryoken just had to accept that it was Takeru who was deciding how fast things would move.

[YGO Secret Santa 2019] But destiny never really had been on Ryokens side ever since the day he had followed his father into the forest. So he had actually expected Yusaku to turn around to him at one point. He even had tried to prepare himself for being faced with possibly empty eyes again. And like always when Yusaku was involved… he failed.

Dear @comeandbyteme I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year x3  I hole you’ll enjoy the story I wrote you for the @yugiohsecretsantaevent  and that I linked the write AO3 account >.<

『 - 』

@rxvclver liked for a Starter!

If there’s any baggage that came with traveling a lot, it had to be pharaoh. Of course judai hadn’t asked to take him along but ended up doing so due to the cat and datoujiki  sneaking into his bag when he’d First left, now pharaoh had run off, in a town they’d only just arrived in a few days ago which really wasn’t ideal. 

He’d been searching For a couple of hours now and that was when he heard that familiar meow. Yet in an unexpected place.

To Judai’s surprise pharaoh had brushed himself up against the leg of a boy with White and lilac hair, Pharaoh never usually brushed himself up against strangers nor anyone nowadays so this definitely was weird.

Heading closer judai couldn’t help but feel a need to appologize “I’m so sorry about my cat.” he couldn’t really call pharaoh Daitojiki’s cat at the moment to someone who he’d only just met considering Daitojiki was a ghost so he had no choice but to call pharaoh his cat.

With Spectre and the knights currently being... gone Ryoken had to go outside a lot more than he used to for various of things. He couldn’t just rely on Haruto for most of the time to get groceries and stuff and he still had to deal with Playmaker and his allies as well as with the Dark Ignis that seemed to run wild after all. 

To think that he actually had thought about the possibility of Playmaker being right with his sayings... 

Shaking his head slightly Ryoken dismissed the thought again as soon as he had plopped up in his head, before letting his eyes wander through his surroundings only to stop once he could hear a quiet meow and felt something soft around his legs. Stopping his steps as well the whitehaired man looked down  just to spot a cat that he was rather sure he hadn’t seen around before. 

And yet... he stayed still.. not sure how to interact with the cat at all. He didn’t want to just walk away for one reason or another but still... 

Eventually he was saved by the cats owner that showed up at the scene .Tilting his head to the side he looked from the other one to the cat and back before shrugging slightly. 

“It didn’t caused any harm.” Yet.. But he left that single word unsaid before looking down to the animal again. 

“Usually pets aren’t that trusting with me though.”

『 Playmaker 』‌

“Failed?” The retort would be followed by a furrowing of Playmaker’s brows. Something about that sound off. Just what had Revolver meant by that?

“When you put it like that, you almost make it sound like you’ve given up on hunting down and destroying the Ignis, but you and I both know you’re too set on that fact to ever give that up so easily.”

Playmaker had noticed the help though; the help that seemed particularly aimed at him over any of the other victims of the Lost Incident. Maybe it was where he was the only one of the six who’d been so dead set against Revolver in the beginning. Even Playmaker realized he had a resolve that acted like a leader to the others instead of being one of fate’s followers.

And as little as he said about it, he’d always appreciated Revolver’s help, too; more than he could ever say. He’d never turned it down, but still-

“So if you’re so keen on helping me, Revolver, then maybe you could start by explaining yourself. I know you know about the others, so why help me?”

Had he? Had he really given up on that mission? It probably wasn't like that, because otherwise he wouldn't be here right now. Completing this one mission his father had left him behind was everything that kept him moving. Alive. As soon as the last Ignis had vanished from this world he would have served his purpose. There was nothing left for him. Maybe it was just another reason why he didn't allow himself to let go. After all... it was all he got.

"I haven't given up on it. But neither of us could deny that all attempts I did only end in failure."

The attack on Cyberse. The tower. Nothing of it had worked out in the end. It didn't stop him from trying. But his path had been anything but successful.

In the end he felt quiet again, not sure what to answer. It wasn't because he didn't knew the answer. The reason why Playmaker was in the center of his attention was more than clear to him. But to actually say it out aloud? To Playmaker of all people?

"Because it's my fault." he replied in the end. Because maybe the younger one deserved to know this. Maybe it would help him to understand that he would be better of without him.

"The other five had only been some random kids on a screen. But you were more."

The one he brought there. The one he caused so much pain. The one he never had been able to forget. That always hat been on his mind. In his nightmares.

"You were my friend. And I did nothing more than lead you right into hell."

“I didn’t expect you to show up around here that soon again.” 

On the other side Ryoken hadn’t expected to get even close to his fathers mansion ever again to begin with. And yet here he was so maybe he shouldn’t be that surprised at all. Tilting his head to the side the older teen looked out to the calming view of Stardust Road, before a sigh left his lips. 

“I take it you won?”

The question probably was unnecessary because if it wouldn’t be like that Yusaku wouldn’t be here right now. But ... Ryoken never had been good in starting small talk so... he at least tried. 

“You’re okay?” It was funny because no matter how much he tried to convince himself that he didn’t cared about the younger one. He always ended up asking that question eventually, even though he never actually asked it out aloud ever before.

『 Tsuki 』

“Is that an order?” Tsuki asked with a rare, challenging tone– only to chuckle under his breath. These were all what if scenarios, but Tsuki knew that even if Ryōken rejected the idea, Tsuki would go through with looking after him anyways.

Perking up at the sound of the car, Tsuki would give Ryōken another rare smile back. He’d slide into his seat and quickly buckle himself up. At least the car was warm!

“Ohh, so warm…” He mumbled, rubbing his arms.

“Are we heading back now?”

For a moment Ryoken stayed quiet, watching the other one as that tone was one Tsuki used rather rarely around him. If he was honest to him he enjoyed it. Challenging Tsuki was much more alive after all. Even though it didn’t changed anything about the facts. 

“Yes it is.” he replied eventually, slipping back into his Revolver tone even though he had a smile on his face while he was looking down at the younger one.  

Afterwards it wasn’t that long until he sat inside the car next to the other one, looking more to Aso in the front seat before giving a small nod. 

“We’re heading home.”

[rxvclver-closed]

『 Tsuki 』

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself while I’m at it too.”

It wouldn’t be the first time nursing someone back to help whilst also taking care of himself. It was painful and pretty tedious, but it was possible. 

Snuggling up against Ryoken, Tsuki sniffled. He was starting to get the chills…

“But of course. We have to do our best not to get sick at all. That’d be ideal.”

“You’re not  taking care of me while being sick.” he replied, because honestly there was no way he would just accept that. Even less as there wouldn’t really be any need of that. They still had people around that could take care of them. Even though Ryoken still would prefer if neither of them would get ill in the first place though. 

With the other one snuggling up against him he rested his head on the other ones, closing the eyes for a moment. He could have added something to the others words, but there was already the sound of a car getting closer and he opened his eyes again. Seemed like Aso finally arrived, hu? 

“Seems like we’re being saved.” he mumbled in the end, rather much only for the younger one to hear, with a small smile on his face. Once the car stopped in front of them he opened separated himself from Tsuki before opening the door for him to get into the car.

『 Tsuki 』 

Forced to take a break… Maybe he should hope Ryoken gets a cold just so he could get some time away from all this– Wait, that’s bad. Being sick isn’t fun! But was it wrong to wish for the Hanoi’s leader to rest?

Instinctually, Tsuki would put his arms around Ryoken too though. He might be cold like an ice block, but hopefully sharing some body heat would get both Tsuki and Ryoken warm…

“Well… Just know that I’ll definitely take care of you if you get sick.”

Looking after Jeremy and Titan had given him the necessary skills to do so!

“But only if you’re not getting sick as well.” he replied quietly, frowning slightly. Knowing Tsuki he probably would try to take care of him even if the younger one was sick as well. And Ryoken definitely wouldn’t accept that. 

He probably wouldn’t even accept the other one taking care of him if Tsuki wouldn’t get ill... but that was most likely because he was the leader. It was his job to take care of the others, not the other way around. 

“Maybe it would be best if neither of us gets sick though.” They had better things to do after all.
