*It had been about 4 days since Yuto's duel.
Since it happened, Yuto had been avoiding everyone as much as possible, even his family and friends. Any attempts they had gotten to ask if he was alright were met with a short "I'm fine" not allowing for any conversation to continue beyond that. He spent most of his time in his bedroom, or squirreled away in the corner of a café or library if he felt he needed to get out of the house.

His attempts to sleep were plagued by nightmares and panic attacks about both Heartland and Z-ARC, so he hadn't managed to get a lot of sleep. He was frustrated that these had gotten bad again, after working so hard to help himself last time, but he didn't want to admit it... to others or himself.

Returning home from the Maiami City library one day, Yuto could hear Yuya and his parents in the kitchen. Thankfully, the entrance to his bedroom was in the corridor, so he didn't have to face them.

Walking down the stairs to his room, he gave out a tired sigh as he took off the bag he was wearing around his shoulders and walked over to his wardrobe to place it inside.
The moment he opened it, there was a sharp, quick bang that made Yuto yell in shock and fall over, as it rained glitter and confetti around him.
Breathing heavy, it took Yuto a while to come out of the shock from the sound of the glitter bomb going off. Looking down at the mess of glitter all over him and the floor, he spotted a white piece of paper amongst it.
Picking it up with trembling hands, Yuto turned it over to see the word 'Smile!' written on it with Yuya's handwriting, and doodles of smiley faces.

Yuto was SEETHING. Yuya hadn't placed one of these glitter bombs in his wardrobe for such a long time. He'd honestly thought that Yuya had finally gotten the message that he didn't like them, but instead he chose NOW of all times to decide he suddenly wanted to sneak one into his room.

Yuto slowly got to his feet, clenching his fists in anger.
That was IT. He'd had enough of Yuya's childish and insensitive jokes once and for all.*
