Yu-Gi-Oh GX: Juudai x Yubel
Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh GX
Pairing: Yuuki Juudai x Yubel
Theme set: Beta
Title: No Matter What People May Say
Rating: PG-13
Notes: These are all set in their past life.
#01 - Walking: Yubel took one hesitant step, then another, her wings spread for balance, then shot a jubilant glance at Juudai as she realized that she could walk again.
#02 - Waltz: "Care for a dance?" Juudai held one hand out to Yubel as the music began, and together they spun out onto the floor, not caring who looked at them, so long as everyone stayed out of the way of Yubel's wings and Juudai's feet.
#03 - Wishes: Juudai's deepest wish was that he and Yubel would somehow find a way to be together forever, so that not even death could tear them apart, and he was determined to find it, no matter what.
#04 - Wonder: When Yubel took off for the first time, Juudai could only stare up at her and wished that he could fly as well, or at least that she could take him with her.
#05 - Worry: "I don't understand, why would she do that, why for me?" Juudai paced outside of the operation room and waited for word on if Yubel had even survived what they were doing to her.
#06 - Whimsy: Yubel watched as the attempted assassin fled down the hall; it would take no more than a twitch of her wings she could recapture him; slow death was what he would get, and all that he deserved for daring to raise a hand against Juudai.
#07 - Waste/Wasteland: In the aftermath of loss, all that remained of Kuragari was a shattered wasteland, a broken gemstone, a shattered sword, and a promise that would bring them together again one day.
#08 - Whiskey and rum: Juudai held Yubel as she threw up the last of the alcohol, wondering out loud why she'd done it; he didn't find out for another week, which was when he wished he could get drunk himself.
#09 - War: The rescue party stared in disbelief; Juudai's sword and Yubel's claws were drenched in blood, and both of them laughed despite the corpses strewn in every direction.
#10 - Weddings: Juudai held Yubel's hands in his as they stood face to face in the wedding tent and began his vows, pledging his eternal love to her a second time.
#11 - Birthday: Yubel stared at the rare and beautiful gemstone nestled in the box Juudai had given her and swallowed, hardly hearing Juudai's "Happy birthday, Yubel."
#12 - Blessing: "In the eyes of the Kind Darkness, you are now one," the priest declared, and Juudai refrained from telling him that he already knew that.
#13 - Bias: "I think that you're beautiful," Juudai told her more than once, but Yubel was never certain if his words could be taken at face value.
#14 - Burning: Fire lit her veins, fire ruled her world, fire was all that she was made of, blood that coursed through her and took her over, her body broken and reshaped and she knew only pain and fire and Juudai.
#15 - Breathing: She had been asleep for three days, and all that assured Juudai that she was alive was the slow intake of her breath, marked by the rise and fall of her remade chest.
#16 - Breaking: Yubel screamed as the pain shook her body inside and out; all for Juudai, this is for him, he needs me shot through her mind, and she held onto that to keep herself from breaking.
#17 - Belief: Yubel wasn't certain if she believed Juudai's vow to always love only her, but as the years went by and he did, there was nothing else she could do but return his love.
#18 - Balloon: The joy that Juudai felt when he and Yubel were together swelled his heart, but at times, he couldn't shake the feeling that everything could end without warning.
#19 - Balcony: Yubel was always beautiful to Juudai's eyes, especially when he saw her drenched in moonlight on his balcony, guarding his slumbers.
#20 - Bane: The morning trumpets were the bane of Juudai's existence, but what was even more irksome was the fact Yubel was a morning person and he wasn't.
#21 - Quiet: Juudai lay in his bed and enjoyed the silence as Yubel held him in her arms and they enjoyed one day where they didn't have to do anything but be with each other.
#22 - Quirks: Juudai couldn't express how much it amused him how some things never changed; Yubel had chewed her hair before her transformation and she still chewed it afterward.
#23 - Question: "Why did you promise to love only me, Juudai?" Yubel felt that she had to ask, and the answer warmed her soul; "Who else would I want to love, Yubel?"
#24 - Quarrel: "I don't want to get up! It's too early!" "You can't eat if you don't get up, Juudai." "Bring me breakfast in bed." "Who do you think you are, a prince?" "That would explain the crown, you know." "Get up, Juudai."
#25 - Quitting: "I don't want to be a prince anymore!" Juudai pouted, but all Yubel did was laugh and remind him that he couldn't quit being what he was.
#26 - Jump: Yubel leaped into the air, snapped her wings wide, then reached back to seize hold of Juudai; he wanted to fly, and she was going to give him what he wanted.
#27 - Jester: Juudai jumped as a slender hand interposed itself between him and the jester's ball that he hadn't even seen coming toward him.
#28 - Jousting: Yubel eyed the sword in her remade hand with distaste; this wasn't her kind of weapon anymore, but she was determined to find some way to continue sparring with Juudai.
#29 - Jewel: "I want you to have this." Yubel held out the gem she had once worn set on her forehead, and Juudai stared; he'd thought that was gone forever.
#30 - Just: Juudai delivered the death sentence on the murderer without a shred of doubt; anyone who would kill Hane Kuriboh would kill Yubel in his opinion, and he wouldn't tolerate that.
#31 - Smirk: "Why won't you die?" The assassin stabbed at Yubel over and over before she closed one hand about his throat and lifted him up with a wicked grin and told him, "You first."
#32 - Sorrow: She had done that for him; because of his power, his destiny, because of the Light, and Juudai wept for her, since she couldn't weep for herself anymore.
#33 - Stupidity: Juudai stepped to one side, not even bothering to stop his conversation, as Yubel moved to where he had stood, and the assassin's dagger bounced off her skin.
#34 - Serenade: Yubel lay in bed after the transformation, and Juudai sat beside her, holding her hands in his, and sang her favorite song as he waited for her to wake up.
#35 - Sarcasm: "Yubel isn't human anymore? Really? I hadn't noticed. I've only lived with her for the last seven years. How did I miss something like that?"
#36 - Sordid: A thousand rumors coursed through the town concerning their prince's relationship with his inhuman bodyguard; Juudai only laughed and was at least glad they'd gotten the names correct.
#37 - Soliloquy: Juudai wanted to keep talking about how much he loved Yubel after she made her own pledge to him, but Yubel decided it would be better if she showed him how much she meant it and kissed him.
#38 - Sojourn: Juudai very much enjoyed visiting the lake with Yubel, but he hadn't expected the trip to end with the two of them having to make their way home naked after their clothes vanished.
#39 - Share: Yubel didn't need to eat after her transformation, but Juudai insisted on sharing the chocolate she still loved with her no matter what.
#40 - Solitary: Yubel stared at the ruins that had been her home and swore with all of her soul that she would never fail to protect anyone who was in her charge again, never.
#41 - Nowhere: Juudai continued to wait beside Yubel's bed as she recovered from the change; he didn’t need to be anywhere else until she woke up, and if there was, he wasn't going to be there.
#42 - Neutral: Yubel was neither male nor female anymore; Juudai wasn't sure if she was both or neither, but he was certain that it didn't matter to him in the end.
#43 - Nuance: Every twitch of her hands, every tilt of her head, every little moment showed Juudai that the powerful warrior before him was still the same Yubel that he'd known for years, just in a different body.
#44 - Near: Juudai woke in the middle of the night; he couldn't see her, but he knew she was there anymore, within arm's reach at a moment's notice, even if she wasn't there just then.
#45 - Natural: "Is your hair natural?" That was the first question that Juudai ever asked Yubel, and her first reaction was to smack him; it was the beginning of a wonderful relationship.
#46 - Horizon: Together they flew high and far enough so that the city was only a small dot on the horizon and the world belonged to the two of them.
#47 - Valiant: Juudai looked at Yubel; Yubel looked at Juudai; with nothing more than a pair of brilliant smiles and flashing weapons, they leaped into the battle side by side.
#48 - Virtuous: As they washed after the battle, Juudai had to tell himself that it wasn't a good idea to get involved in their private celebration before the public one; they ended up being late anyway, but they didn't care.
#49 - Victory: "HUZZAH! HUZZAH!" The cheers of the people echoed sweetly in Prince Juudai's ears as he and his army returned to the city in triumph, yet sweeter still was the sight of Yubel by his side and unharmed by battle.
#50 - Defeat: As the Light's blinding power destroyed Juudai's body, he could still feel Yubel's hand in his, and could not believe this was the end.
