365 Days of Starshipping (Part 2)

Work Diversion

11/17/19

Yusei was trying to get his calculations done the next day, but the key word here was 'try' - he didn't have too much to do and it should've only taken him roughly two hours to complete, but a certain someone had way too much energy for some reason and couldn't resist bugging him.

Over. And over. And over.

It'd only been an hour and he already knew that he would not be finishing this project within those estimated two hours.

"Yusei..."

Poke.

"Yusei~"

Another poke.

"Yu-sei~"

A weight on the back of his chair, tilting him back ever-so-slightly.

"My lovely gear-head!~" Judai cheered this time, finally making it so he couldn't ignore him any longer this go-around by doing something he hadn't done last time, which was hugging him from behind and resting his head on the top of his head with a happy hum.

With a sigh of defeat, Yusei shoved the laptop slightly away and out of reach, leaning back into the hug and tilting his head up in response, "Fine, you win - what is it, Judai?"

Judai's chuckle sound far too prideful at his success as he let go so he could spin Yusei around to face him, sending him a beaming smile that was hiding a little bit of mischievous at the edges of it and saying, "I'm bored, wanna go flying in my realm again?"

"This couldn't have waited until after I was done?" Yusei asked somewhat rhetorically, already knowing the answer to it since Judai clearly had some pent-up energy to get out.

"Like I said, I'm bored and I wanna hang out with you," Judai replied, suddenly brightening as some sort of idea entered his head, "Oh! We could stop by the Aromage's shop first, see if there's anything interesting, get some more fun stuff to play around with."

"I'm fine with all this, but what's gotten into you this morning?" Yusei wondered, a little worried about how... hyper? Not quite hyper, but super energetic Judai was acting - it wasn't exactly normal, in fact he hadn't ever seen him reach this level of energy before where he'd completely disregard the fact that he was working in favor of getting his attention, so he had grounds to be worried about him.

"I dunno, but I just... feel like I need to move," Judai paused, looking up in thought and falling silent with a slightly unfocused gaze that Yusei had come to recognize as when he was talking to Yubel and Haou, "Hmm... maybe... wait, breakfast? It was the breakfast apparently?"

"...Should I be worried about myself...?"

"No no, they're saying that it's one of the vegetables I used that was from the spirit dimension - apparently it's often used in energy boosting foods, and even made into drinks for a kind of duel monster energy drink," Judai assured him, laughing a bit sheepishly and latching him into a hug, "Basically, it only effects me because I'm part duel monster. You and the other two wouldn't be affected at all."

"Good to know, though to be honest I wish it would have an effect on me... imagine making lunches with it, it'd be an instant energy boost considering the effect it's having on you right now," Yusei mused, closing one eye when Judai started to smush and rub their faces together, noting, "You're awfully affectionate when you're like this... I half expect to look at you and see those fox ears and tail."

"Hey, I'm always this affectionate!" Judai retorted, using a hand to smush his other cheek as well in mock disappointment, "Just not physically, I suppose."

Once Yusei finally managed to free his face from any more squishing, he let out a little laugh and stated, "Weren't we supposed to go flying? What are we waiting for?"

He grinned at the pout Judai gave him in response, "Yusei, that's not fair!~ You're the one who brought up the other stuff and distracted me in the first place."

"You could've simply ignored it and dragged me into a portal, y'know."

"That'd be mean though, I don't wanna be mean to my boyfriend who I love very dearly."

Yusei raised an eyebrow at him, feeling vaguely like this was leading up to something else that Judai had to have planned, asking, "I can't tell if you're just being a sap again or if you're trying to butter me up for something."

Judai paused for just ever-so-slightly too long before answering, which honestly told Yusei all he needed to know, "I would never do such a thing - let's go though, before we get distracted again."

Yusei eventually figured out what it was he wanted though when he got eagerly pushed through the castle later towards their room and had puppy eyes turned on him - needless to say, those puppy eyes were a very necessary tool Judai had to wield to convince him it was a good idea, mainly because Yusei knew just what he would be in for considering just how high energy Judai was that day; it was a very pleasant rest of the afternoon though, followed by a very relaxing evening where they just napped and cuddled as recovery.
