5D’S MONTH DAY 28: TALE OF TWO STORIES
We now have seven Yu-Gi-Oh series! What would happen if one of our heroes from Team 5Ds happened to meet someone from the past, or perhaps the future? Whether you prefer to rev it up, high five the sky, or get your game on, show us what you got!
I AM FINISHING THIS MONTH EVEN IF IT KILLS ME.
There are some eyes that you never forget. That haunt you throughout your life. That you’d recognize with only a moment’s glance.
Trudge has a pair of those eyes from high school. So when another rider passes him on the highway and all he gets is a glimpse of the eyes beneath their visor, Trudge knows.
For those are the eyes he can’t forget.
Patrol today takes him to an older part of town, a small pocket that remained mostly unscathed by the big explosion more than decade ago. It’s nostalgic, in a way, to drive among the older architecture. Parking his runner at a corner, he leans on the handlebars and just gazes across the street, when someone bobbing out of a store front catches his attention. The hair is unmistakable - Trudge still remembers when it was plastered all over the news.
No one else has hair like that.
The man looks up as Trudge approaches, those eyes peering up at him as if ready to judge his soul all over again.
“Trudge?” Muto’s hands abandon the colorful poster he’d been attaching to the glass. “What brings you here? Need some new cards?” The short man smiles. The spell breaks and Trudge can breathe.
That night so long ago, Muto had been different. This isn’t that Yugi with eyes so cold and dark. The eyes before him now are warm and full of light. “Uhh, no…” Trudge glances away, suddenly embarrassed, and rubs the back of his neck. “I just happened to see you and…thought I should say hi.” It sounds so lame out loud.
Muto snickers. “Well, hi. I see you’re an officer now. How’s that going?”
Trudge shifts nervously on his feet. “Alright, I guess. Pays the bills.”
“Not still picking on weaker kids, are you?” And there it is, the edge of smirk, the glint of danger in Muto’s eyes.
Trudge barks out a harsh laugh, and hides his nerves behind a boastful smile. “No, only criminals!”
Muto nods with thoughtful expression and- oh! Oh. Trudge is a dumbass. “Um, listen, I should apologize-”
“What? No, no!” Muto waves a hand in front of his face. “I should be the one apologizing! Well, sort of…”
“Nah, I started it.” Trudge shrugs as the bells on the door chime and a brunette woman pokes her head out scowling.
“Yugi, what are- gah!” She shrieks at the sight of Trudge. “You! What are you doing here?!” she demands, pushing herself between him and Yugi with fire in her eyes.
Huh, isn’t that Mazaki? She grew her hair out.
“Relax, Téa. He was saying hi.” Placing a hand on Mazaki’s shoulder, Muto gently pulls her back, and Trudge catches sight of the gold band on his finger.
“Right, ‘saying hi’.” Mazaki huffs, suspicious eyes never leaving Trudge.
Holding up his hand, Trudge backs away. “Believe what you will, but my business is already done here. See you around, Muto.” He flicks a wave, walking back to his duel runner, and heads back to his patrol route without a glance backwards.
The past should stay in the past.
