Day 5 - Regret

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V

Ship: Sora/Tsukikage

Warnings: Past Character Death Technically (Carding)

Word Count: 1.1k

  Sora smacked his lips and plucked his lollipop from the tight seal around them then glanced to Tsukikage. “I know your there.” He said.

  “I prefer to be… in your peripheries.” Tsukikage said and then contradicted himself by joining Sora on the park bench that he was enjoying snacking on and taking the view in on.

  A silence settled, a silence which was more or less disrupted by the rustle of trees from behind them. Somewhere, a dog barked, and an owner scolded it. The silence settled again, and Sora placed his lollipop back in his mouth again. His cheek bulged and then, using his otongue, he pushed it to the other side. Now, it was his right cheek which bulged. Tsukikage awkwardly crossed his arms. Sora sighed and removed his lollipop again.

  “I’m sorry I carded your Older Brother that one time.” Sora said.

  “Every battle, every war, has its causalities. It was an unusual ending, I suppose, not one completely unlike what we were mentally and emotionally preparing for in the event that the conventional death did occur.” Tsukikage replied.

  “I have some – many – regrets about that duel.” Sora said.

  Tsukikage made an unusual noise which was muffled by the blue cloth that he wore around his face. His eyebrows quirked. Sora huffed.

  “I should elaborate, yeah?” Sora asked.

  “Only if you wish.” Tsukikage replied.

  “I wish I had duelled him better.” Sora said, his voice incredibly flat.

  Tsukikage regarded him suspiciously. His eyes slid towards Sora and he tried to analyse him but to little avail.

  “I really respect you, Tsukikage.” Sora confessed. “And, by extension, I respect your brother. I wish I had given him a better Duel. He deserved a more fitting end, even if it was brief.”

  “That is a rather gratifying thing to hear.” Tsukikage said.

  “Thanks. I was kinda worried you’d take it the wrong way, but it was something that I wanted off my chest.” Sora added.

  “I’m flexible.” Tsukikage replied.

  “Sucks, doesn’t it, though?” Sora murmured. “Having to prepare for the eventuality that you might die. That your comrades might. I didn’t really get that back at Academia. For me it was that only you could look out for you, but I get it now. I get it now super hard.”

  Tsukikage petted the top of Sora’s head. “I’m glad you understand that, but as is the course of life. We all but prepare. I will admit, I’m beyond thankful that the carding process was reversible.”

  Sora’s eyes widened. “So, would you say that you’re over the moon?”

  “Don’t.” Tsukikage said and he decided that Sora’s bad pun was more than enough cause to cease petting him.

  Sora pouted. “Why’re you here anyway? I was prepared to stew on that one for ‘til, I well, ‘til kingdom comes I guess.”

  “I just wanted to check up on you. Not much work for a ninja in a modern and post-war society. I’m sure a soldier can relate.”

  “Nope. I can’t.” Sora very happily chirruped. “’Cause I ain’t a soldier.”

  “Oh? Truly?” Tsukikage said.

  “Yep. Just a regular ol’ schoolboy nowadays. But good luck finding work, you weirdo.” Sora said. He exhaled glumly and kicked his legs slightly. That’s when Tsukikage noticed that Sora was so short that his feet didn’t reach the ground.

  “I’ll try.” Tsukikage said through a guffaw.

  “But maybe you should at least consider some new ways. You gotta play hard and work hard.” Sora said with as much wisdom as he as he could impart, so it came across as immature but Tsukikage didn’t doubt Sora’s lived philosophy.

  He smiled and closed his eyes. Nearly unthinkingly, he hooked his fingers over his mask and pulled it down. Now, the mask had become a blue bandanna around his neck. Sora’s eyes widened. Tsukikage was slightly more handsome than Sora would have otherwise thought. Maybe a little average, but like… also above average. Though, he did have a rather long jaw.

  “I’ll think about that.” Tsukikage said. “So, what sort of regrets do you perceive me as having if I’m all work and no play.”

  “Hm, good question.” Sora hummed. “Well, you know how us schoolboys are like. Always getting crushes and whatnot. Unlike soldiers; not allowed to fraternise in the force, after all. Maybe, um, something related to that. Just a thought.”

  “I see.” Tsukikage replied and there was a thrum on his lips.

  Sora huffed. “I’m inviting you to kiss me, dumbass.”

  “I know. I just like teasing you.” he replied.

  Sora blushed and as Tsukikage spoke, he caught flashes of his teeth. No wonder he wore that mask, he had a rather unusual set of teeth. Some were chipped, others were capped, and some not there at all. Sora wondered what other sort of injuries that Tsukikage may have been hiding since those were the obvious ones. Sora had his share of similar stories and was lucky that most of his damaged teeth had to be removed anyway as they had been baby teeth. He lost his at an unusually old age.

  “But, since your so impatient, I suppose that I shall relent. Throw a dog a bone, though, in your case, it might be more like sugar pearls before swine.” Tsukikage said.

  “Ha-ha, so funny. So original.” Sora retorted but he supposed that it made them even for his prior jab at Tsukikage.

  Still, Sora lifted up his head and Tsukikage leaned down. Somewhere in the middle, their lips met. Sora tasted like artificial grapes; a rather saccharine taste that Tsukikage very much disliked but he didn’t dislike Sora himself, so he kissed regardless. Perhaps more chastely than necessary to avoid too much of that sort of thing but it was a kiss, nonetheless. Besides, its not like Sora could taste Tsukikage over the taste of artificial grapes either. Thus, the kiss ended quite shortly. Barely six or seven seconds of lip to lip contact but it was enough to send Tsukikage back into hiding. He scrambled to return his bandanna to around his mouth so that it functioned as a cloaking mask. Sora didn’t mind. He smiled. Kicked his legs too.

  “Thanks for checking in on me, Tsukikage. I appreciate it.” Sora chirped.

  Tsukikage glanced away. “No problem. It’s a pleasure, really.”

 “Glad t’ hear it then.” Sora replied, far too smug, and he popped his candy back into his mouth and crunched down on it, to Tsukikage’s disgruntlement as that noise was rather unsettling but then again, Sora was unsettling in general and he was rather comfortable with that.
