Canarical's Nanbaka Writings

Rock x Nico - He's Mine!

* Overview *

The boys are still in Nanba.

Rock and Nico have been together for a few months. When the Cell 13 gang all go to the arcade for their hour of free time, Nico ends up getting subtly- though also not so subtly- hit on by an unfamiliar face, and Rock is far from pleased.

Cell 13 had decided to spend their hour of free time in Nico's arcade today. It had been a few days since they last visited it, and Nico had heard that there were a few new games there since they last stopped by, so he was eager to go there again.

Upon arrival, Nico ran off to find these rumored new games, leaving Jyugo, Rock and Uno in the dust. Rock laughed at this and shook his head in amusement.

"Nico sure doesn't play around when it comes to his games." He thought aloud, and Jyugo cocked a half smirk, putting a hand on his hip and looking up at him.

"Yeah, but you out of the four of us would know him best, right?"

Rock scoffed lightly and looked at Jyugo with feigned annoyance, a smile remaining on his face as he crossed his arms. "Watch yourself, buddy." Jyugo and Uno just laughed.

Jyugo wasn't wrong; for a few months now, Rock and Nico had been in a relationship. They tried to keep it on the down low, but surely at least all of their closer friends knew about it. They weren't as subtle as they tried to be.

Always sitting right next to each other at the mess hall, Rock putting his hands on Nico's shoulders, Nico grabbing Rock's own hands when they walk together, and Rock being especially protective of the hyperactive otaku.. one could easily put two and two together.

"You gonna chase after him, or you wanna play with us for a bit?" Uno asked with a grin, and Rock chuckled.

"Eh, I'll hang with you guys for now."

"Alright, lets see.." Uno thought aloud, looking out over the sea of consoles before pointing. "Lets do that one!"

Jyugo had an apprehensive expression. "That one? It's impossible!"

"Heh, impossible for you, maybe." Uno teased as he gave Jyugo a pointed smirk.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the arcade, Nico found a brand new claw machine, and his eyes sparkled with joy as he saw the contents.

"Woooah!! One of those plushies look like *Bleep* from *Bleeeep*!!"

He was quick to start playing, attempting to obtain the plushie he desired. However, he failed the first try, the plush falling from the claw after it rose back up halfway. He let out an "Aww.." of disappointment. "Uno sure makes this game look easier than it really is!"

"Need some help?"

A voice piped up, and Nico turned to see an unfamiliar inmate with brown spiky hair, green eyes and a green and white striped shirt and black pants standing there, arms crossed and a small smile on his face. He seemed a bit amused.

"Oh, uh, yeah! Sure!"

He chirped, and the inmate nodded, walking over and taking position in front of the controls.
