This certainly hadn't gone according to plan - the plan of course being to duel the LEO Corp spies that were chasing him so he could escape back to his hideout. None of this included having a random girl ask for his autograph, only to follow him and hop up on his card plane, causing them both to crash into the body of water that surrounded Miami City. 

Well life just had to be full of surprises didn't it? Ah well, that's what made it interesting. 

Getting back to his hideout definitely was a challenge, thanks to having to carry an unconscious girl in his arms the entire time. When dragging her out of the ocean, Yuri was the one who suggested just leaving her there. 

"We can't do that, Yuri." Yuya shook his head as Yuri showed up beside him, the two of them looking at the pink haired girl who -thank god- was still breathing. 

"Why not? She can get back on her own when she wakes up. We didn't go very far with our transport." Yuri huffed, folding his arms. 

"At this hour? It's night time, Yuri. I don't know what she was up to, but I don't want her getting hurt. We'll bring her back with us." Yuri stared at the entertainer with hesitant eyes, raising an eyebrow. 

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" 

"I don't have much of a choice. I can't just leave her here. She wasn't with LEO Corp, so it'll be fine. She's harmless. Besides, I'm sure Yusaku won't mind once I explain the situation."

With that, Yuya drew a blank card from his jacket pocket, tossing it into the sky and watching it as it turned into his small plane. "You're trying this again? Isn't this what caused you to fall in the ocean in the first place?"

"Aww come on, Yuri." Yuya whined lightly as he picked up the girl, holding her in his arms as he hopped onto his plane. "That's cause she caught me off guard. I'll be fine getting back to the hideout this time." 

"We'll see." Yuri shrugged before fading away so Yuya could actually have a moment of peace and quiet as he flew back, trying to ignore the fact that he was soaking wet and freezing. Crap... He sure hoped he was right about his boyfriend not minding this whole situation. Yuya much preferred Yusaku being the only other person in his hideout aside from his personalities, but this was only for a little while. Once the girl was awake and warmed up, Yuya would make sure she was on her way out of there. 

As long as there weren't anymore surprises of course. 

Yuya was absolutely exhausted by the time he got back to the hideout, pushing the door open with his foot as he held the girl bridal style in his arms, his eyes locking with his boyfriend's instantly. 

"I'm so sorry I'm late. Things kinda... got a little out of control...? I'll explain in a sec." He gave Yusaku a sheepish grin before placing the girl on the couch, taking his hood off afterwards. He only lasted a second before wrapping his own arms around himself, trying to warm himself up as he started shivering thanks to being cold and wet. 

Yuya couldn’t believe what he was hearing right now.

Hands clenched into fists as he gaze met the ground, the stone pavement getting blurry with each passing second as tears threatened to stream their way down his cheeks.

“H–… How could you think this would be easy?” Yuya let out a choked whisper, sniffling as he tried to keep his voice steady with no real success. “You… You think ending this over distance would be easy…?”

Curious pink eyes look up at the duelist from her place in Aoi’s duel disk as she watches him hack away at his computer. She shifts her gaze to her partner and she can’t help but feel at ease knowing that Aoi was sleeping peacefully on Yusaku’s couch, a light blue blanket resting gently on top of her. She needed the rest after today’s events – in fact, so did another certain someone…

Aqua had to admire Playmaker’s dedication to the fight. Even though Aoi had yet to explain her connection with Aqua (she had been far too tired once coming out of Link VRAINS), he still trusted the Water Ignis to not cause any harm to either of them. Given Lightning and Windy’s history, Aqua honestly wouldn’t have blamed him for any seeds of doubt about her that might have existed in his mind.

Yet she had no doubts about him; it was a calming feeling that came with her little gift – she knew that Yusaku was a good person and could be trusted. He along with Aoi were the only two reasons why she stayed on the human’s side. She wanted to believe that she could co-exist peacefully with humans; it was all she had ever wanted from the start.

“Huh? Oh…!” The young girl gasped lightly as she saw the blue ribbon slowly fall to the ground. How long had her ribbon been so loose for? She hadn’t even noticed her right pigtail had fallen to have her long brown hair rest against her back, while the left side stayed perfectly in place.

Aoi quickly bent down and grabbed the ribbon so she could shyly hand it to the boy with blue and pink hair, a tiny smile on her face. “Here. T–… Thank you for helping me.” As the boy started to fix her hair up, Aoi’s voice fell to a shy whisper and her gaze lowered to the ground, because she was quick to realize that this… was the first kid her age she had met in this new city since she… lost her best friend.

( FUCK YOU. )

The tight grip of their hands entwined together took Revolver’s breath away as he was left completely speechless thanks to Playmaker’s confession. So it was true… it was mutual.

“Playmaker…” he whispered softly, pulling one hand away to gently stroke his cheek. It was the first time he had ever held his enemy like this; this was a dangerous line for them to cross, but he had dreamed of it for so long…

… But that was all it could be – nothing but a dream.

"We can't... We can't do this.” Revolver sighed, pulling his hand away from his cheek. He knew he had to let go of Playmaker’s other hand eventually, but… surely he was allowed to hesitate, especially when he was about to try and throw his dream away. “If they find out that I feel this way about you…”

Well, that was rather vague; Revolver knew very well that if his father found out, he was doomed. Dr. Kogami’s plans were in full swing and Revolver had no choice but to follow along; he couldn’t let his feelings put a halt to his father’s work. Revolver owed it to him at this point after what he did ten years ago.

Orange eyes widened in surprise as the blue and pink haired boy let her know just how determined he was to find out more about who she was and where she had come from, but the gesture was eagerly welcomed, shown by the small smile Rin gave him in return. It felt so nice to just… finally, have some hope for her future. After everything she had been through – the orphanage, the kidnapping and being locked away in a tower, only to lose control against your best friend and then be transported away to some foreign world – it felt great to have some company that wanted actually help her out and not… you know… destroy her.
