"Code... Need to write... Code..."

Yusei sat, shoulders drooping occasionally before his muscles tensed up in order to wake the tired man, keeping his attention focused upon the screen in front of him. Upon the screen was code and diagrams depicting his teams' runners and their engine designs, and every so often Yusei would tweak the measurements to see if his adjustments could aid the bikes in acceleration or max speed.

It was far too late in the night, however, to be focused enough to make great adjustments, and he could not proceed further in implementing them into his friends' bikes without their consent. Yet he still remained glued to the screen for any possibility of improvement, for the hopes that their machines would be prepared for the WRGP in a few months.

However, his eyes began to close as the tiredness grew. His body wouldn't last much longer, even if his stomach was empty and caffeine had been pulsing through his veins the entire night. Feeling the fact his body was giving in to sleep, he decided to save his work and call it quits. Pushing the wired-up keyboard to the side and turning his computer off, he rested his arms on the table and leant forward in his chair, gently drooping his head into his crossed arms, allowing his body to relax fully on his desk.

"The poor guy. We really ought to help him..." Crow whispered whilst leaning out from behind his room's door, watching Yusei's snooze grow into a deep slumber.

"We offer help everyday! But he's too clever for our assistance. Humph." Jack tutted above him, sticking a nose to the air and pouting in the darkness. To this, Crow nodded, but couldn't help but feel the two as his friends could do more.

Regardless, Crow motioned to Jack to go back in the room and, against Jack's pleads to not have to be stuck in Crow's room at night, wishing only to leg it to his room, he gave in and followed, wanting only to keep Yusei asleep now.

Fist clenching, Crow felt determined to help Yusei help their team, thus proclaimed "That's it! Tomorrow, we will do our best to help Yusei in whatever he needs! It be coding, racing, duelling, sleeping or fuckin' feeding for all I care, we'll help!" He grinned at Jack, who as a response blinked.

"My, you're eager to be his momma, hm?" He put a hand to his hips.

Crow glared. "You too, right? Unless you're not willing to be his friend and help him feel better..."

Jack spat. "Of course I want to. But... 'Feeding' him? He's not a child, Crow."

"Yeah I know man! But he's been so busy with work recently he's neglected his health and hasn't been eating properly. It's worrying."

Sighing, Jack agreed. He thought about it, and couldn't remember a moment recently he'd seen Yusei with food in his mouth. It was quite worrying, and Jack knew fully well that a working man couldn't get by without a cup o' ramen at the very least.

"Ok. So tomorrow, we oblige to be his parents?" Jack smirked and lent a hand out to the bird-lover.

Tutting, Crow put his hand out and shook. "S u r e ... You're the mom right?" He grinned.

"I'm not the one breast'feeding' him, cunt." The blonde loosened his hand and turned to the side. Crow face palmed.

"Whateva'."
