Title: It's Like A Game
Topic: Playing Games
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 300
Pairing: Jyabura/Lucci
A/N: Second one!

 

No one understood why they did it. 

“Barbarian? I’m not the one who woke up with grass stains on his face.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” 

“You sleep on the ground. Like an animal.”

“At least I’m man enough to brave the elements! Sissies like you can have your beds. I’d rather commune with nature and all that shit.” 

“I don’t have to risk back injury due to lying on the dirt for eight hours just to prove my masculinity.”

It seemed an exercise in futility at best. 

“That pigeon is freakish. How old is it? Even after you finally drop dead we’ll be dealing with your stupid bird.”

“Jyabura, by what stretch of the imagination could you ever outlive me? Besides, Hattori isn’t a total freak of nature; he never liked Gatherine.” 

“That was three fucking years ago! When are you going to drop it?!”

“As soon as you stop having week-long affairs with unattractive women—so, never.” 

“At least I can get a girl. When have you ever been on a date with someone you weren’t coercing into seeing you?”

“The fact that I don’t wear my love life on my sleeve doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Perhaps you’re so eager for everyone to know who you’re dating because of some deeper insecurity.” 

Of course, there was always speculation…

“I can beat you no matter how high your Douriki level is. That’s why you hate me so much, isn’t it? I’m a threat.” 

“A threat to the team. Some day your posturing is going to get you killed.”

“Worrying about me, huh?” 

“About your mental health? Constantly.”

“Fuck you, Lucci.” 

“You wish.”

“Maybe I do.” 

“Well, maybe you should.”

“Maybe I will.” 

“Good.”

But in the end, only they knew.

Well, until Fukurou found out. Then everybody knew.

Ah, Cat Vs Dog, the oldest and longest running game. I loved the last line - nothing is sacred or secret with Fukurou around. XD

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

I think they must have resigned themselves to not actually having a private personal life. XD

[hinas-otaku.livejournal.com]

There is no escape from the omniscience that is Fukurou!! What scares me is how he finds out about stuff - I mean imagine being in bed with a new lover and seeing that looking in the window D=

I bet Gatherine was one of the first people he told...

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

And then she decided she wanted Jyabura BACK!

...They never did find the body, did they...

[hinas-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Shakes head sadly* She never knew what hit her...

Meanwhile Spandam hunted desperately for more missions to send them all on. They frighten him when they've got time to have affairs with each other..

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

If it gets to the point where Lucci and Jyabura get it on, everybody from the Grand Admirals to the Pirate King are gonna get worried :P (And will know about it thanks to Fukurou's good offices)

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

If there's one thing I know about gossip hounds, it's that they have methods of gathering information that probably somehow involve the black arts at the worst of times. We may never know how they do it.

[hinas-otaku.livejournal.com]

I doubt I will ever know how they do it. I'm always the last person to know what's going on. I'm the one who asks a person "So, how's your girlfriend?" like, three months after they've split up. I sometimes wish I knew Fukurou, because that would never happen if I did XD

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's me too. But see, Fukurou is the difference between "Oh, you haven't heard? They split up." and "Oh, you haven't heard? Well, she started seeing his brother behind his back, he found out, and for revenge he slept with her best friend and she found out, so she and her friend had a giant row, he's no longer speaking to his brother, and then he came home one night to find that she'd thrown all his things on the lawn, so he moved home with his mother and has said he isn't coming out of his room until he gets an apology, so they're not together anymore."

[hinas-otaku.livejournal.com]

I dread to think what would happen if anyone ever upset Fukurou. I mean, just imagine if he had a personal vendetta against you; he could tell everybody ANYTHING about you to get back at you O_O

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

Dude, why do you think everyone on the island knows about Jyabura and Gatherine?

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

LOL! Oh, I love nasty little snipping :P And 'commune with nature and all that shit' is just SO Jyabura ^___^

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

Nasty sniping is probably my favorite thing in the world to write. It just never gets old. XD

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

Hey, as long as you enjoyed it. XD

[key-revolution.livejournal.com]

Last line?

KEELED ME DEAD.

[runic-binary.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of service. :D

[silverladys9sf.livejournal.com]

As always, our CPD pwns everyone else's. :D

Doesn't it just? ^_^
