A/N: This is what I get for thinking of some sappy shorts on Valentine's Day of these two XD So, I hope by the title you guys know that this is a collection of a shipping I created dubbed CosmicInfernoShipping which is Yusei/Ren (aka a Yusei/OC pairing so if this isn't your cup of tea you don't have to read it...also, it's boy/boy so there's that too). I don't see there being that many chapters and will probably be completed pretty soon. This is just some snippets into their relationship and finding out things about each other. I might reference other cannon/OC pairings I've made, but they aren't the focus. So just enjoy some fluffy shonen-ai!

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only own my OCs.

Unexpected Affection:

(Ren's POV)

"Dude, you okay?"

"Yes, why?"

I took a glance at my waist to see that Yusei still had his arm wrapped around it. I looked back up at him. "Really? How can you NOT tell that your arm is anaconda wrapped around my waist?"

He shrugged. "I have no clue what you're talking about."

"...this is SO unlike you..." I muttered, wiggling around to get into a better position as I turned back to my book. The two of us were at my place (about the only way for us to get some peace and quiet away from Crow and Jack's bickering), just hanging around on the couch. Yusei had a small table set up to put his laptop on while I took out a new book to read. And somehow, for some reason, he had looped his arm around me and kept me from escaping easily.

I think it came as a huge surprise to a lot of us when the two of us started dating. I mean, he's usually quiet and reserved while I'm...pretty much the opposite in public more often than not. When I have something to say, I will say it. Pretty much the whole foot-in-the-mouth syndrome. Of course, I do keep some things to myself. And I always make sure not to cuss like a sailor around kids who don't need to be hearing those kinds of words. So maybe I'm not as rowdy as a lot of people tend to see.

From my experience in dating (both guys and gals), I tend to always find something that the other doesn't normally share outside the private dates. Except I was sure I wouldn't get that many surprises with Yusei. Now I'm pretty sure I'll have to start making a list at this point. And the whole cuddling things is going right up there with the rest of 'em!

"No, seriously, am I going to have to worry about you holding me hostage?" I asked. I was only partly being sarcastic.

"Well, I wouldn't say it'd be going that far," he replied, turning to look at me.

I bookmarked the page and rolled around to face him better. "Seriously, you're the last guy I'd imagine that would want to cuddle. You don't look like you exactly scream that."

He shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe I act differently with just you around."

"Hmm...now you're going to make me want to test that little theory out when we have the gang together."

"Really now?" This time, he took his attention away from his laptop to look me in the eye.

"Hey, we already passed the PDA mark with all that kissing. I think this would be a downgrade compared to that."

Yusei chuckled. "Whatever you say."

We stayed quiet for a few minutes before I decided this new position wasn't quite comfortable. "Okay, even this couch is too small for us to lay like this. Hold still," I said, trying to wiggle out of his grasp. He looked at me a bit confused at first, but he released his grip on me to allow me to move around a bit more freely. While the couch at my place was much bigger compared to the one Yusei had, it still wasn't enough room for two older teen boys to be laying on side by side. Why not use the bed? I don't know, maybe because my sister's still here and I don't want to give her the wrong idea.

Speaking of AJ... "You two keep it tame in there. I still live here, ya know," she called from the kitchen.

"Dammit, AJ! We're not doing anything perverted in here!"

"Yeah, sure."

"You've been hanging out with Kalin too much!" A chuckle under me caused me to glare at Yusei. "And you're not helping."

"Sorry." After a bit more struggle, I finally got us into a better position. I was laying on Yusei's front against my own. I'm pretty sure I threw the book I had been reading across the room while trying to get comfortable. I settled down easier. "Better?"

I nodded. "Much." I gave a slight yawn. "Okay, now I'm tired. Think I'll take a short nap."

"Well, I'm not stopping you." I rolled my eyes at his reply. Another yawn and I felt my eyelids close. His arm went back around my waist. Heh, wonder what else I'm going to be surprised with?

A/N: Okay, so not very long. These are mainly going to be short (probably not going to be as long as the chapters from my other stories) scenes between the two. Who knows? Maybe I'll reach 100 chapters (or not XD)? I have yet to decide on what the next chapter will be over, but I hope you enjoyed this one!
