[He's even more determined now, working to regain some speed and drive into another box for some items - which turns out to be a pack of mushrooms he can use at the straight shots in the course to regain some ground.]
[ following his own rules and not looking at yoshi, even though deto knows, intimately, by the tone of his voice what kind of face he’s making. tempting though -
but now that he’s in the front, it turns out the hardest part is paying attention to what’s happening behind him while maintaining speed and also catching item boxes. a trio of banana peels? he’ll take it. and rather than saving them for protection, he plops them out in a diagonal line behind him. his goal is to minimize free space on the track, but he almost flies off a sharp turn doing so - ack
… hey actually isn’t that a great strat? corners and curves are the hardest so if he clutters the area there with peels… ]
Heh, that sounds like something an anime protag would say.
[ proud boyfriend, who is trying to remember what the maybe-squid-maybe-ghost item does. oh well, he’ll just use it anyway ]
“It Turns Out I’ve Been Isekai’d to Another Land After Tripping Over a Rabbit Plushie and Now I’m a Master Strategist Adventurer Who is Expected to Conquer the Demon Lord, but My Stamina Stat is F-Tier?!”
[ even as he races to catch up, he can appreciate yoshi’s expert driving. the threading helps to slow yoshi down some, and deto just hopes none of the green shells will bounce off the corners and ricochet back to him. no way that happens with his luck, right ]

[ the first time is always the most exhilarating and deto definitely experience that first place high for however long he’s in first
which is probably not that long as they have another lap or so, plenty of time for sabotage ]

[He's got good steering, if nothing else - it helps him to cut through the course and dodge obstacles along the way, too. He's regaining speed!]

Feels more like I’m dating a ruthless pro strategist. So, Mr. Protag, what’s your storyline?
no subject
[With another box comes another chance of- aha! A single red shell.
Better make this one count!]

[HE'S SO PROUD...
He's also undeterred by some ink on his screen, managing to fire a shot at Deto's back as he races to catch up.]
no subject
[ the shell hits and deto’s kart spirals and sputters out of his control for a moment ]
no subject
Thanks for holding my spot!
no subject
I’m a gentleman.
[ he says as he shoots all three yoshi’s way ]
no subject
[SWERVING TO DODGE which he manages, but now he has to thread through them as they ricochet off the rails.]

The nice thing about them ricocheting is, once he's past them, they can't really catch up. He can make up for the speed he lost there!]
Whew!
no subject
At least winning looks good on you.
[ not that he’s looking; he has his eyes on the track ]
no subject
[So... close... to the finish...!]
no subject
[ not that he has to look to know. but he likes looking at bun
- aaand he can’t seem to catch up, missing the last box when he dodges a shell sent by one of the other racers ]
no subject
Victory!
no subject
Just you wait, my time will come. [ he sets the controller on his lap on raises both hands toward yoshi for a double hi5 ] Congrats.
no subject
[Setting down his own controller, he's not going to leave Deto hanging!]
no subject
[ catching his fingers briefly after the hi5s before letting go ]
What do you want for winning?
no subject
no subject
[ there’s just something about a smiling kiss, where he can feel their smiles meet before their lips soften for a proper kiss ]
… One more?

Mm… game? Again? Or did you want to play something else?
