[deto]

Starting off with a challenge, huh? Well, I’m not about to back down.

[ he doesn’t play sports for nothin’!!! ]

[justonezero]

When you end up in lower ranks, you'll get better items to help boost you back at least!

[When.

But he selects the stage and prepares to go! He, of course, knows exactly when to press A so he gets a starting boost, too.]

[deto]

[ deto ends up somewhere in the middle at first. inevitably, he veers right off the edge of the very first sharp turn and plummets into the abyss

and to think, once upon a time yoshi was worried about him dying in-game ]

?! Did I die -

[justonezero]

[Fortunately, he's immediately fished up by a Lakitu, so his character does not in fact perish.

He does however take a long time to be set back on the track.]

Maybe you'll get a blue shell? Those instantly take out whoever's in first!

[Which is not currently Yoshi... yet. He's up in third at the moment.]

[deto]

[ even though his lips are set in a grim line when he’s fished into last place, he doesn’t complain as he rejoins the race ]

Just first place, or…?

[ the next box he hits isn’t a blue shell, but he does get the green ones. he fires all three and only misses one. damnit, next time he’ll hit with all three. slowly he’s inching back toward the middle of the pack ]

[justonezero]

It targets first place, but it's got an AOE. If there are others close by, they can get hit too.

[His own boxes are mostly giving him bananas and green shells, but he's making use of them by slipping up computer drivers close behind, or taking shots at the ones ahead.]

[deto]

[ a term he understands! ]

Gotcha. [ eyes flicking to yoshi’s side of the screen to gauge where he’s at ]

Ah, but it’s not something you can just plan for ‘cause there’s no guarantee you’ll get it. So there’s always gotta be a back-up plan. Or three, probably.

[ somehow he manages to shoulder a computer over the side, but then he’s immediately handicapped by granny drifting along the next sharp curve ]

[justonezero]

It also takes some time for the blue shell to move to the front of the pack, so ranks might have switched around by then.

[He's climbing, though, passing the computer in second place and deftly avoiding driving off the edge.]

[deto]

[ yoshi sure is close to winning. if deto were just a doting boyfriend, he might even entertain the thought of using the blue shell to help yoshi out. but he’s competitive and yoshi can definitely win on his own obviously. would be no fun for both of them if he didn’t respect the sport that is cartoon characters racing over banana peels

which he almost does, frighteningly close to falling off again as he dodges. his next box gives him some red shells. two racers are knocked to the side, one of them getting hit twice whoops ]

What do we get for winning? A kiss?

[justonezero]

A- huh?!

But then no matter who wins we kiss, right?

[He's putting a valiant effort into focusing, but he probably could've timed that shell a little better...]

[deto]

But I’m very motivated by kisses.

[ see: him deftly (??) slipping past another racer and triggering a box with… lightning???? ]

Eh?

[justonezero]

[Oh heck.]

That one shrinks everyone and slows them down.

[MUSHROOM BOOST SAVE HIM, GIVE HIM A GOOD HEAD START........]

[deto]

Oh, hey, you’re the same height as real life now.

[ sure is nice being big and tall and knocking away the other drivers ]

[justonezero]

I'm not that short! Besides, I'm still growing!

[Aaaaaaah he's so slow like this!! He's pressing down on the ignition button as hard as possible, as though that will somehow make his character go faster (it does not).]

[deto]

[ deto manages to move up one and a half spots. it would have been a solid two, but the moment the lightning wore off, the racer he’d just passed rushed him again ]

When was the last time you grew a centimeter or two?

[justonezero]

[Immediately slamming into a box and hitting the computer in front of him with a shell. Second place-!]

When I was fifteen or sixteen?

[He looks so serious now that he's close to first...]

[deto]

[ oh - immediately makes the mistake of glancing at yoshi’s face. he likes that face a lot. so much. too much because he zooms right off rainbow road in his distraction, and it takes him a beat to notice ]

… oh - ah?! Ack!

[ by the time he’s back on the path, he’s bumped down two places ]

[justonezero]

Fell off again? Whew, looks like I'm safe a little longer!

[Better than safe, actually - because a blue shell zooms past and he hits the brakes so he doesn't lose too much speed when 1st place gets divebombed, giving him the opportunity to slip into 1st instead.]

Ha!

[deto]

[ he just sighs and keeps at it, sure he’ll place 4th at best by the time yoshi wins ]

… ’m at more of a disadvantage than I thought. Your face is too dangerous.

[ more discipline. more focus. no more looking at bun. where’s a plate to block yoshi’s face from view when he needs it ]

1/3

[justonezero]

[Look at their characters, cheerfully (or sullenly) doing their victory laps.]

Huh? My face?

[justonezero]

[...

Wait a minute...]

[justonezero]

-Did you fall off because you were looking at me?!

[deto]

… Not the first time.

[justonezero]

...Are you going to be able to concentrate on studying when we live together...?

[deto]

Wow. [ w a o ] What are you trying to imply, Nanase??
