Summary: Humanity has seven deadly sins. Yubel and Juudai touch each and every one of them.
For all the ways that Juudai had changed since learning who he really was or had been or whatever, and even more since he and Yubel had fused into one, there was one thing that did not, and perhaps never would, change. He still ate like a pig.
In fact, there were a few people who would have gladly testified that he ate even more afterwards. And yet he never gained an ounce. There were girls in Obelisk Blue who would have gladly strangled him, much less fused with an insane Duel Spirit from the past, for that ability. Four of them stalked him for two weeks with the intent of convincing him to give them that ability. They changed their minds when Yubel showed up, however. Juudai was convinced they took up jogging. They’d certainly ran away from him fast enough.
Yubel watched as he plowed into his first plate of dinner, not even bothering to speak as he did. She’d watched him eating countless times, and as far as she could remember, which was very far indeed, he had always been like that. The cooks in his first life had always made certain to serve at least twice of what a normal boy of his age would eat, and he generally ate that, and wanted some more.
She ran her fingers through his hair, though in her spirit form she couldn’t really feel it. She didn’t need to; she knew what it felt like even not being able to touch him at the moment.
Maybe she was a bit of a glutton as well. She feasted endlessly on Juudai. Not always in the sense that she had once, when she’d only wanted to destroy him if she couldn’t have him for herself, but on his joy for life, his intense desire to protect all of those around him…which did include her, not exclude her. She’d forgiven him for forgetting. His all-consuming forgiveness, the dark shadow of acceptance that had filled her when their souls had become one, was a blessing she didn’t think she could ever get enough of.
Fried shrimp was his favorite. She’d learned that quickly enough. She knew almost everything about him, but that was from the effect of the fusion. Even though she knew, she liked to know in other ways as well, to learn through experiencing it and seeing it for herself. So she watched and learned, feasting in many ways upon the knowledge of Juudai.
He loved fried shrimp. While most people around him tended to eat slowly to make the meal last longer, he ate quickly, but enjoyed every single moment of it every bit as much as they did. He wanted to spend more time with people than anything else, and she thought that was another reason he ate so quickly. It not only fueled his body, but his desire to go be with people.
She couldn’t help but like that about him. There was, in truth, very little that she didn’t like about Juudai, when it came down to it. He could be anything he wanted to be, as long as she was there with him.
And she would always be there.
