Rating: teen, could be read as ship! or friend!ship
“You’re an idiot, Yusei. You’re not alone, ya know,” Jack says, and he feels a smile coming to his face inadvertently. He hears the words from Martha, but it’s easy enough to ignore, considering how long he’s been hearing it. From Jack, on the other hand…
“Maybe next time we can ask them if we could tag team duel,” Yusei comments, earning a chuckle from the other side.
The pain of having to face an old friend, again, who remains just as crazy as before, if not worse, eases a little more. Hearing from Jack at all gives him hope. Hope that the Dark Signers were likely trying to take away. Jack hadn’t just abandoned him, not again.
“I wanted to catch up with Kalin, but unfortunately Mina had to be the voice of reason and point out there wasn’t much I could do about it without a Duel Runner or a deck.” Jack really does look sorry about it, the fact that he couldn’t get revenge for a friend, and it’s almost as if he’d never left. Almost as if there’d never been a rift between them.
“Are you still, you know. Recovering?” Yusei asks, and Jack glares.
It’s not very successful. “Oh, like you’re going to stay safely indoors until you’re better.” Jack’s sarcasm is slightly painful. And it’s not like he doesn’t have a point.
“Well. Maybe we can both try taking it as easy as we can when the world’s ending,” Yusei suggests quietly. It’s the only thing he can really come up with.
Jack nods. “Don’t die before I can beat you and win my title back. I’d be very upset.” He pauses, then tentatively reaches a fist out toward the screen.
Yusei reaches out likewise, touching his side of the screen. “I’ll remember that.” And then Jack gives a hesitant smile.
Maybe they’re both healing, but it won’t hurt to do that together. Maybe they can support each other, just like they used to. The fate of the world’s at stake, after all. They can’t afford to bring any less than their best game.
