The Ger Is A Part Timer [BL]

~ 4 ~

"Aren't you playing with guns with the Captain recently? How about let's go with that? I'll let you choose the gun so you won't say I'm bullying you - let you choose the gun you're best at."

"You should take me more seriously", Yu Yan smirked cockily. "Then, to be fair, how about Kenji choose the type of gun and we can see who's faster in assembling one?"

Quinn patted Kenji on the back and made him choose. As Kenji didn't want Yu Yan to make him do anything he didn't like, he chose a particularly complex gun that seemed too much for a beginner like Yu Yan.

Yu Yan raised a brow when he heard Kenji's pick.

"Good choice", was all Yu Yan said which made Kenji doubt a little.

He... He can't be good at assembling this model... Right?

After a third party laid down all the parts on the table, Yu Yan and Quinn took their places opposite each other. A moment of tense silence passed by as Quinn and Yu Yan scrutinized the whole set, surveying each piece. Both parties placed their hands on the table at either side of the gun parts when the third party referee stood on one side.

"Ready.... GO!", someone yelled.

Quickly, two pairs of hands were grabbing and fitting parts like they're some puzzle pieces. Yu Yan was a bit slow on the start up which made Quinn smile. Yu Yan's eyes flicked everywhere so fast as if he was calculating something in his heart. Soon, his hands followed the movements of his eyes, suprising everyone as he shifted into using two hands for two separate things at the same time without losing speed. His eyes moved left and right continuously, his attention shifting so fast that it looked like he was assembling different parts with each hand simultaneously.

When all the little parts where connected, he grabbed the last part and smoothly fitted each piece, even showing a calm smile as he did so.

In the awed faces of the crew, Yu Yan finished assembling his gun after a minute and a half, just nine seconds before Quinn, who can be said to be a veteran.

"Great", Yu Yan said before smirking at Kenji. "I've always wanted a little servant, oops, brother, a little brother", Yu Yan faked his mistake, teasing Kenji.

"Who's your little brother! I never agreed to the conditions! Make Quinn your servant, I'm not the one who lost!"

"But you're the one who chose the gun."

"That isn't -"

"Give it up, Kenji. Let's take our defeat like a man", Quinn replied as he slinked his arm around Kenji's shoulders with the face of a martyr.

"You bastard, don't include unrelated people into your bet!"

"What, aren't we family? I'm sad, Kenji. Why don't you give me a kiss to make me feel better?"

Laughter sounded out as Kenji struggled to get himself out of Quinn's hold, even pushing his feet against Quinn's abs but Quinn's hold in him was tight.

This was the situation that Captain witnessed when he came back to the canteen. Upon seeing such a lively crew, he smiled and then headed back. The kid didn't need him.

Soon, the Triton arrived at the planetary borders of planet M40. Adorned with rich red  and green hues, the sight made the of deserts and forests looked spectacular for a first-timer like Yu Yan.

He had his hands pressed upon the wide glass window, staring at the planet the grew bigger and bigger as they drew closer.

The crew were delighted at his reaction that someone even took a picture of Yu Yan's face that was nearly pressed on the glass pane on the viewing deck.
