On being reawakened after 9 months' absence.

[rulesdragons]

Mun.

It's about time. I thought you'd never stop preoccupying yourself with your garbage tastes and pick me up again.

So despite all that, I'm only going to say this once: Don't underestimate your friends' love for you and the voices that you portray.

So, with that sentimental nonsense out of the way, it's bright and early as of submitting this, and you should consider occupying yourself. No more sleeping all day - it's annoying, and it cuts into time that could be used productively.

Coffee might be in order, actually. Just don't slug it down like tea like you usually do.

Now if you don't mind, I'm busy.

*Ugh. Cute. He's had his quota of cute already! Okay, uh, he can handle this!*

Your imagination is certainly the ludicrous sort.

*His walls are spiky, like a hedgehog. He will at least stare down that black hole like it has the suction power of a clogged vacuum!*

[kawaii_boy]

...I wasn't imagining it.

[Just because you think he's naive doesn't mean he is. Yuugi looks a little sad though, that you'd say that.

This Kaiba was different somehow. He just knew it. His friendship senses are tingling!]

[rulesdragons]

*Because this Kaiba is about a decade older than you, Yuugi. Damn it... stop it with the cute! Stoppppp! - But yes, those friendship senses are accurate. He just. Yeah. It's awkward. Please don't keep insisting!*

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

*Ack. He sounds a little bit frazzled.*

[kawaii_boy]

[He still thinks nicely of you, despite what Jonouchi says...He scratches a bit at his head, trying to puzzle this out enough to come up with a way to put it so Kaiba didn't get so embarrassed.]

Kaiba-kun...Do you want to go to the arcade with us sometime?

[And by us he presumes you know who he means.]

[rulesdragons]

*Kaiba just stares at him. He knows what he means by "us". He just shakes his head.*

No.

*More like, he's always so busy working that there's no time. Even if he wanted to.*

[kawaii_boy]

Oh...

[Disappointed. He's very disappointed, Kaiba.]

Are you sure? I mean, Jii-chan wouldn't mind if you dropped by the shop some time.

[Even if Kaiba was busy he could still make time for friends once in a while!]

[rulesdragons]

That isn't the issue.

*It's more like work is so absorbing and often needs his attention. Try another angle, Yuugi!*

[kawaii_boy]

[But he didn't necessarily say "no" forever. Which was a good change from saying they were "losers". Yuugi beamed. Look at this cute innocent smile.]

A-ano...

[This is hard because he realizes besides Duel Monsters he doesn't even know the things Kaiba likes!]

Heh. M-maybe we could Duel? I'm not that good at it yet though...

[rulesdragons]

*Siiigh. Yuugi, please notice what he's trying to convey!*

Don't tell me that you're having trouble figuring out what I'm trying to tell you.

[kawaii_boy]

W-what is it, Kaiba-kun?

[He's not a mind reader, okay. That's Pegasus' department!]

[rulesdragons]

*Hear that noise? That's the sound of Kaiba mentally bashing his head against a wall.*

I'm often busy with work, so it's difficult to leave the office for much, let alone leisure time.

*But, Yuugi, if you come up to see him....*

[kawaii_boy]

O-oh....right.

[He blushes a little and lightly scratches at his cheek, mostly because he realizes what Kaiba is getting at.]

Would you mind if I came to visit?

[rulesdragons]

It's fine if you do that. I'll let my subordinates know to let you through.

*He still feels awkward from having to say it outright, though...*

[kawaii_boy]

[Look, his whole face lit up! YAY! Inner Yuugi happy dances.]

That's great!! Jii-chan will be happy to know...Thank you, Kaiba-kun!

[He really is excited, too.]

[rulesdragons]

*Urgh...*

Just you, alright?

[kawaii_boy]

Un...

[A small nod of agreement. Jonouchi-kun might not be too happy about that, but if he could get Kaiba-kun to open up a little more then maybe they'd be glad that Yuugi had it in him to make them all friends.

He has high hopes for a boy his age.]

[rulesdragons]

*It's more like Kaiba only wants to open up on entirely his own terms, and that includes not having to deal with too many people at once.

*Sometimes two people counted as too many.*

Drop by whenever. I'll be there. If not, I'll call you.
