Winners Don't Do Drugs (Male Reader x High On Life)

Found Love

No POV:

Y/N is in his room without his shirt doing push-ups as part of his new routine. The Gatlians are watching and cheering for him as he keeps going.

Sweezy: 97, 98, 99... 100.

Kenny: Wow! A new personal record. I'm guessing because I wasn't with you until a few days ago. I was enslaved with an inhibitor chip stuck in me for years.

Y/N: I'm aware.

Gus: By the way Y/N, what's going on between you and Lucy? Ever since two days ago, she's been acting weird when she's around you. Like this morning, she hardly made eye contact and just went straight to work. And only works 5 hours at Blue Garden. It's been 9 hours.

Y/N: I ended up making things extremely awkward between us. I'm going to try to talk to her when she gets back. Hopefully I can help her regain some of her pride.

Knifey: What's that supposed to mean?

Scarlet: Let's Just end that topic there. Also, Y/N, Yuri and Gene sent you a text. They ordered pizza and are inviting you there.

Y/N: Okay. I am hungry.

Y/N gets up and leaves his room. He goes to the living room and sees Gene and Yuri sitting down and eating pizza. Y/N sits down and grabs a slice as the TV plays a commercial for 'the brand new THIS'. It just shows a tiny alien having a bunch of random, unrelated problems before the narrator says it can all be solved with 'The Brand New THIS'.

Yuri: What is that? Does it do anything?

Gene: I don't fucking know Yuri. People will buy any shit they see on TV, even if it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Yuri sweats and laughs nervously at Gene's comment.

Yuri: I know a few salespeople who'd make a lucrative killing with people like these. Apparently, a lot of aliens seem to by random stuff. Like from that tiny guy that was selling vials and gallons of some white substance.

Gene: Okay, make sure you stay far away from that guy. By the way kid, there's something I need to talk to you about.

Y/N: Is it about Lucy?

Gene: Okay, not everything is about Lucy. But yeah, it's about Lucy. Look, I can see how your visit to Red Lotus caused a lot of 'complications' and 'oversharing'. But Lucy isn't going to be likely to continue training you if it keeps up like this. Why don't you do something nice for her to help settle things down.

Y/N: It was already on my mind but is there anything specific you recommend?

Y/N grabs a soda and was about to drink it as Yuri's eyes sparkles and she gets an idea.

Yuri: How about take her on a date.

Y/N: A date?

Yuri: It's like in my favorite manga "Moonlight and Chocloates" when Hiro and Arashi got trapped in a store room and he asks her on a date the day after they escape in order to better understand her and does his part in mending things.

Gene: Your baby sister may be onto something. If it's just the two of you having fun on something that isn't a mission, then there can't be any excuse to get out of it. Also, I think a date may be good chance for Lucy to have some actual fun than watching The Real Housewives of Anima, or whatever she actually does for fun. And even I can tell that she seems to see you as something more than just a part-time student.

Y/N: Okay, if you guys really think it'll help.

Yuri: Yay!

Gene: Just don't mention anything about us. No one like a being asked on a date because the one who asked was told to do that by others.
