✧ yuma comes back from drinking with the members a little tipsy, a lot clingy, and impossibly soft.

✧ author’s note: short and sweet yuma drabble to end the night hehe
✧ keep reading if you want to stay a while ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵)
the apartment was quiet when yuma got home.
you heard the front door open, followed by the soft shuffle of his shoes against the floor, and looked up just in time to see him standing there in the hallway.
his hair was messy from the wind outside. hoodie half-zipped. cheeks slightly pink.
and the second he saw you, he smiled.
small.
immediate.
like finding you there was enough to make the whole night settle properly.
“hi,” he said softly.
you smiled back. “hi, baby.”
he stood there for another second like he was deciding something.
then he walked straight over to the couch and quietly climbed into your space without a word, curling up against your side.
you laughed under your breath as his arms slipped around your waist.
“tired?”
“mhm.”
“did you drink a lot?”
he shook his head against your shoulder. “just enough to miss you extra.”
your heart gave the tiniest ache.
yuma sighed softly once you wrapped your arms around him, like he’d been waiting for it all night without realizing.
for a while, neither of you talked.
he just stayed close, cheek pressed against your shoulder while your fingers played with the ends of his hair.
then quietly:
“i kept thinking about coming home.”
you looked down at him. “yeah?”
he nodded once.
“i think my favorite part of going out is getting to come back to you after.”
the way he said it was so simple.
so honest.
like it wasn’t even meant to sound romantic.
you felt him shift slightly closer after saying it, like he instinctively wanted to hide from how affectionate that sounded.
“you’re being really cute right now,” you teased gently.
“no, i’m not.”
“you literally just said your favorite thing is coming home to me.”
yuma went quiet.
then he tightened his arms around you a little and mumbled into your shoulder:
“…because it is.”
you completely melted.
a quiet silence settled after that, warm and heavy in the nicest way.
then suddenly, yuma tilted his head up and stared at you for a second like he’d just noticed something important.
“what?” you laughed softly.
he didn’t answer.
he just looked at you with that sleepy, unbearably fond expression for another second before one of his hands slid up gently against your cheek.
then he leaned in and kissed you.
slow.
warm.
the kind of kiss that lingered before it even really started.
you could still feel his small smile against your lips, soft and sleepy and completely full of you.
when he finally pulled back, he stayed close enough that your noses still brushed.
“…there,” he murmured quietly, like he’d been meaning to do that since he walked through the door.
then he tucked himself back against you again without another thought, arms tightening around your waist like coming home to you was something his body already knew by heart.

EJ
your guy's first meeting is actually a little embarrassing
at least it is for you
for background context, it's been raining on & off the entire week
your shoes don't have the best grip already
almost slipping all day
even on dry ground..
so this was bound to happen to you eventually
it had began raining while you were in class
a light drizzle is going on
but the ground is definetly wet
you & ej are about to cross each other's pathes
when you lose your footing
and down you go
sweet, kind ej checks on you
helping you up and asking if you're okay
your legs are a little bruised up
so you guys go to a nearby convience store
where ej helps you patch yourself up
and you guys make such good conversation that you exchange socials
Fuma
it's your first pokémon card show
and you're on the hunt to add to your collection
fuma is also there buying packs
maybe you've seen each other while walking around
but neither of you really paid attention
other than a few quick glances
til close to the end
you're trying to negotiate with the seller
the price way too high for your comfort
fuma steps in behind you
warning you that this seller is a scammer
advising you to put the card down & walk away
you follow him
thanking him for his help
nothing else happens that day
both of you moving on with your lives after that interaction
the two of you meet again through a mutual friend
specifically introduced due to your shared pokémon interest
and that friend was right to do so
you & fuma getting along like a fire
K
the rain comes heavily and suddenly
and you're unprepared
with hands full of groceries
but your place is fairly nearby
so you decide to power through and go without an umbrella
you've barely started walking
when an arm is reaching out and an umbrella is held above you
turning to look, you're met with an handsome stranger
K offers to walk you home
despite needing to go the other way
the two of you making small talk
he's a gentleman through and through
making sure you're always covered as the two of you walk
when you reach your place, you thank him once again
and taking the risk, you shoot your shot
to your surprise he's also interested
exchanging instagrams before he has to go
later setting up a date to see each other again
Nicholas
your first meeting is actually broadcasted on tv
nicho is competing in one of those fashion competition shows
think like project runway or next in fashion
and you're apart of the show's model lineup
of you and nicholas see each other during the filming
but neither of you get the chance to talk with each other
until about halfway through
when the two of you get paired together
nicholas in work mode charms you
he's professional & kind during your guys fittings
throughly explaining his vision, concept and expectations to you
likewise nicholas has admired you and your modeling abilities
since watching you during the first challenge
after your paired challenge
you and nicholas grow closer behind the scenes
it's so obvious that the both of you are attracted to the other
literally everyone can sense the chemistry between the two of you
but neither of you rush into anything
taking the time during and after filming to get to know each other
Yuma
you and yuma are regulars at the same gym
at first your routines didn't align often
meaning you only saw each other very now and then
just enough to gain a small gym crush on yuma
after graduating & going full time
your schedule becomes more consistent
therefore getting to see yuma much more often
one day the two of you happen to be near each other
yuma is watching you do your rep as he's resting between his own sets
almost stepping in when you falter
then later he comes to you with tips on your technique
deciding to take the opportunity for the most of it
you continue the conversation with yuma
the two of you decide to finish the rest of your workout together
at the end you guys exchange instagrams
before setting up a date to do another session together
months later yuma asks you out on an actual date
Jo
another embarrassing meet cute
jo turns red every time it's brought up
always reminding you of how he looked back then
so flashback
you're enjoying a nice day at the park
headphones in, walking on the side path
and jo is there playing basketball with his friends
when he's trying to pass to his friend
except the ball goes flying
and hits you smack dab in the head
jo rushes over with bright red cheeks
stuttering as he's apologizing
even though you're dizzy
you can tell that the boy in front of you is quite cute
not one to let a chance go by
you flirt with jo
telling him that he can make it up to you with ice cream
feeling super apologetic, he readily agrees
leading the way to the nearest ice cream stand
Harua
this might not actually be a meet cute
depends on who you're asking
both you and harua are working as zombie extras
you're both in make-up when you notice him first
admiring his skills in front of the camera
throwing himself into being a zombie every time the slate goes
so during the break
you work up to be courage to approach him
wanting harua's advice to improve
he's caught off guard by your questioning
genuinely having no advice to offer
you found harua's reaction to be amusing
letting out a small giggle in return
the conversation is cut short by a can back to the set
harua doesn't catch up with you again
until the both of you have washed up
you're surprised to see how cute he is without it
and vice versa
shockingly in sync with each other
ask the other to get dinner
Taki
learning is one of your passions
dance being the other
hearing that a choreographer couple would be teaching a class
in japan around the same time of your trip
you immediately book a ticket to attend
not even thinking of the fact
you have no partner
so come time for the class
and your excitement has turned into nerves
shy & standing off to the side you watch everybody else mingle
when taki approaches you
despite your mediocre japanese
you manage to hold good conversation with taki
both of you having come alone
decide to partner with each other
taki is the easiest person to get along with
regardless of the language barrier between the two of you
at some point during the class
you not only exchange socials
but set up another day for taki to take you around the area
Maki
you've heard all about maki
he's the coolest person to exist in your younger cousin's eye
but you've actually never had the chance to met him
until said cousin's team makes it to the finals
they invited maki to join your family to watch them play
your first look at him is from afar
maki is down by the field
talking with your little cousin before the start of the match
and when maki joins the rest of you in the stands
you don't talk with one another
only exchanging polite greetings
before everyone's focus is on your cousin
it's only at the end that the two of properly interact
striking up an unexpectedly deep conversation over celebration pizza
you understand why your cousin admires him so much
a friendship forms from that moment
romantic feelings stirring quietly through the following years

𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴
i may or may not have been influenced by the just-finished rainy season by me ✋😬🤚. And actually EJ and K's scenarios happened to me in real life just without any of the cuteness or romance.. 😞
Yusei should do some time traveling and adopt Yuma. They already look like they can be father and son with the hair. Yusei is also so kind and patient with kids, he'd be a good teacher for dueling. Also Yuma would just think Yusei is so cool!
I love that you don't use such a sexual version of Laito. He is a great character with many facets! Not just a pervert. Headcanons of Laito, Shu and Yuma on a date with a crush that they like so much that it makes them nervous? Thank you!
Aaaaaaw Thank you :D you make my day.
YUMA MUKAMI
Yuma and you went on a date to a garden festival.
garden festivals were very crowded as the weather was beautiful.
however, you found Yuma easily.
Yuma held your hand so "you wouldn't get lost in the crowd".
Yuma blushed every time you laughed or smiled.
he tries his best to cover up his nervousness.
he taught you useful things and looked with you at the beautiful flowers.
when you get hungry he will dig of sugar out his pocket and feed them to you.
you have to explain that you need more food.
Yuma loves your company and he hopes the day never ends.
eventually, however, he will bring you to your home
LAITO SAKAMAKI
Laito is interested in you because you make him feel something new.
(poor boy does not realize that it is love)
Laito has invited you to watch a romantic movie with him.
sadly there was an "error" when buying tickets and there is only one seat left.
you have (or get) to sit the whole movie in Laito’s lap.
( Laito is a cunning bastard and designed all this )
Laito has certainly been watching the movie beforehand.
he enjoys being allowed to hold you in his arms and go through the emotions that make you feel him.
felt so lovely and warm.
After the movie, Laito will take you to your own home.
when he leaves Laito will kiss your hand and wish you a good night
SHU SAKAMAKI
Shu has invited you to the opera.
he will send a limousine to pick you up
Shu holds you by the hand all the time.
he is very fond of your company and wants to share his favorite type of music with you.
he has reserved for you two your box seats where you can chat in peace.
Shu spends almost all of his time looking at you.
if he gets caught up in it he will simply deny the matter.
Yuto goes to heartland academy with Yuma and Ryouga
being in the same year in middle school, Yuto gets along well with Ryouga and they often pair up to duel together
Yuto would also get along with Yuma. At lunch one day, Yuto actually shared half his rice ball with Yuma who was hungry.
Yuto and Yuma would often duel together after school!
Yuto would be a good ally in helping collect the numbers with Yuma, and Yuto would believe Yuma when he mentions Astral.
Shun and Kaito are also still rivals in this universe, Yuto and Yuma often have to break up their arguments that can lead up to some intense duels.
Yuto has a HUGE crush on Ruri who is also in his class, like so obviously too. Yuma would ask if Yuto is okay because his cheeks are burning red after Ruri smiles at him. Yuto would get cutely grumpy and cover Yuma's mouth and tell him to be quiet. Ruri will laugh at them both.
in return, Yuto would also tease Yuma about possibly like Kotori
Yuto, Ruri, Yuma and Kotori all hangout often after school together! When Yuto and Yuma leave to get them all drinks, Ruri and Kotori gossip about the boys. They both agree Yuto and Yuma are clueless boys. Ruri smiles when she talks about how cute and blushy Yuto can get when she tries to hold his hand. Kotori has similar experiences with Yuma, he gets so nervous and blushy when she compliments his smile.
in the distance, Yuto and Yuma sneeze...Yuto thinks the girls are talking about them. Yuma hopes they're saying good things about them.
Thinking more about what the zexal universe if Yuto were there.
He'd probably be one of the kids possessed by a number. Yuto has a lot of potential to be very dangerous if his darkness is amplified even if it's not zarc related. Let's say he doesn't have Shun or Ruri in this setting. Loneliness is a driving factor for darkness.
Yuma is so worried about Yuto, anytime they talked, Yuto was always so nice. Yuma never realized he might've been lonely when they would share lunch. They would be such good friends after. Yuto would feel horrible if he did anything to hurt anyone while under a numbers influence. Yuma will smile and make him feel better.
