Disclaimer: I do not own YGO GX. No shocker there.


Lunch had just ended for yet another day as the odd assortment of Slifer Reds, Ra Yellows, and an ex-Obelisk Blue prepared to lift themselves from their sometimes reluctantly shared table to commence the rest of their afternoon classes.

"Um…guys? Who does that belong to?

All eyes turned to where Jaden was pointing his finger and stopped cold. There, under the table, lay a single plastic tube of lip gloss. The label on its side read: vanilla.

All five boys looked at each other quizzically; each hoping that their own face would be the most blameless.

The seconds ticked past as Syrus stared down at his shoes and Tyranno began biting his thumbnail. All waited for the guilty party to reveal himself so that they could go on with their lives.

Suddenly, Bastion Misawa broke down. "Fine! It's mine! Are you happy now?"

Taking his person and the offending lip gloss both; Bastion literally sobbed as he fled from the cafeteria.

"Bastion, wait!" Jaden called before running after him.

Chazz rolled his eyes. "Typical. Doesn't Bastion know that it's mildly acceptable for a male to use lip gloss on occasion? To prove his point, Chazz fished out of his pocket a tube of original lip gloss.

"Yeah!" Syrus chimed in as he pulled out a citrus. "Lips do get dry, you know."

"Poor Bastion," commented Tyranno as he took out his tube of cherry lip gloss. "He is so behind the times…"


Author's Note: Not a Bastion bashing fic per se. You can blame boredom on this one. I am referring to the more unisex brands of lip gloss (more like lip protectant) and not the sparkly kinds.
