Hello there fellow fanfictioners! This is a story I decided to write that was inspired by a movie called "Unleashed". It's actually a really funny movie and I recommend it, whether you're at a party, having a movie night, or just need a good chuckle. It's also heart warming and relatable for pet owners no matter if you're a dog or cat person! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! Let me know if you'd like to read more of this in the future! Bye now!

Warnings!: references to sex, Male x Male attraction, possible MxMxM in the future, and of course, language!

I do NOT own Yugioh OR Unleashed! I just own how the story goes and the character Jason! Story is only BASED off of Unleashed with a couple simular/ same concepts. Plz be gentle with me.

"Awesome. Just awesome." Yugi said as he hung up the phone, setting it on the counter below him. After 3 years, his boyfriend Jason, had just broken his heart and taken what was left if it with him. Yugi slid to the floor slowly and began to sob, pulling his knees close to his chest as he cried. Soft pads on the hardwood floor sounded through the kitchen and a golden retriever came trotting to Yugi's aid. The dog sensing his masters distress, whined and nudged his snout in between Yugi's legs to grab his attention. Red puffy eyes looked up at the canine and Yugi tightly grabbed hold of the dogs fur, pulling him close. The dog sat obediently as his masters tears dripped into his fur. Another set of paws came soon after, a black cat with deep crimson eyes shuffled over quickly at the commotion and it rubbed it's body against Yugi's side, Yugi pulled away from the dog for a moment to acknowledge his feline companion. The cat let out a soft 'mew' at him and Yugi couldn't control his tears, they continued to flow as he stroked the cats fur gently. The cat raised its back at the contact, and crawled in between Yugi's legs, nesting there. Yugi pulled the both of them closely as he sniffled.

"You two are the only ones I trust..." Yugi whimpered out between sobs...

2 months later

After that night, Yugi had swore not to fall for the same mistake ever again. He promised himself, and his empty heart not to let it be broken after that. His pawed companions were all he needed. His loyal golden retriever Atem, and Midnight 'lion' Yami were a promise to always be there for him, and he wouldn't have it any other way.

Yugi leaned back in his chair and stared at the computer screen in front of him. It had been 3 straight hours since he had the chance to break away his focus from the damn thing. Yugi Mutou, a 24 year old male who currently worked as an app/program designer. He'd been doing it for almost 2 years now. On top of that he took collage online, in order to get a degree in Computer Science and App Design. It was hard work, and sometimes he wondered why he even bothered. Then he thought about his grandfather and his love of games while he was alive. That gave Yugi a new found boost of determination.

"Hey Yugi, earth to Yugi. Hey man you okay?" Yugi blinked and turned his gaze to the cubicle adjacent to his. There stood Jounouchi Matana, a coworker and close friend of Yugi's since high school. The tall blonde stood there expectantly as he waited for a response and Yugi stuttered.

"Oh..uhhh...Hey Jounouchi, did you need something?" Jounouchi sighed and gave Yugi a worried expression.

"You should take a break Yug', you've been staring down that computer for 2 hours straight. " Yugi looked at the little clock on his desk then turned back to Jounouchi.

" 3 hours actually." Yugi corrected and Jounouchi rolled his eyes.

"Yeah whatever. So, you planni'n on hooki'n up with Gorge Clooney from last week?" Jounouchi said, sticking out his thumb behind him to motion towards a blonde, older male a few cubicles down. Yugi shuttered and shook his head.

" I'll pass thanks...he wasn't even that funny anyways..." Yugi replied simply, folding his arms. Jounouchi only shrugged and pulled a second chair from close by, spinning it to face backwards and sat on it dancer style. His slender legs tucked under the chair and he rested his arms on the ridge of the chair sighing.

"Comm'on Yug', you've gotta get back on the horse. I mean look at ya. You look more depressed and hollow than an empty can 'a beer. " Jounouchi looked to his friend concerned. Yugi frowned at his coworker and dropped his head, muttering under his breathe.

"I feel like an empty can of beer..." He drooped slightly as the words slid off his tongue, butchering the mood. Jounouchi scooted closer and laid a hand on Yugi's knee.

" Hey now, I didn't mean it like that! I'm just worried about'cha is all..." Yugi's eyes trailed back up to look into Jounouchi's hazel eyes. He really was a good friend, always looking out for him. And Yugi knew it, if bad came to worse, he knew he could always count on Jounouchi to be there for him. Yugi smiled softly and Jounouchi grinned broadly, sensing Yugi had cheered up.

"Hee hee, now that's more like it! Don't forget about the happier things in life, big or small. Remember that Yug', don't ever let anyone tell you different." Jounouchi said, his smile now a thin smile spread from cheek to cheek. Yugi nodded appreciatively, and a beep sounded off from Jounouchi's watch. The blonde looked down in curiosity and his eyes widened.

"Whoa! Looks like I've got more work to do, we'll have to continue this later." Said Jounouchi, and with that he turned his body around and settled back into his cubicle. Yugi squeaked out a small 'okay' before deciding to turn back to his own computer. The screen displayed a simple grey and blue program format with shapes aligned and sorted in a rectangle on the right side of the screen. The shapes where currently plain and undefined but each group had their own colors. Yugi had key commanded it himself. The system he was currently working on, was a simple construction program that would take different building materials like bricks, wood, and steel plains, to make buildings like skyscrapers and bridges, or even simple houses. Each level would become harder and progress in skill level. Each level would also be especially made to teach a different construction skill. One would be: using the materials given, the player is supposed to make a bridge and determine if the structure will be strong enough to withstand the weight of cars, trucks, diesels, and so forth. If the structure was unstable, the bridge would collapse after a run through was played and demonstrated the cars driving over it. When that happened the player had to start over and try again until they were successful. However, it was still a rough draft at best, but with some hard work he knew it would be a great game to play. Given his directors passed it's launch.

Yugi laid his head against the desk. There was no way in hell that his program would be accepted. Most of the board were ruthless fat men with money shooting out of their ass's like confetti. They'd probably chew him up and spit him right back out telling him to "try again" and "better luck next time." Who was he kidding? There were probably people in this same room who had better idea's than him. Perhaps It would be best if he just quit now and get the ice cream eating, sad show, tear jerk fiasco out of the way. Then, only he could call himself useless. As if he didn't already.

Yugi opened the door to his apartment with a click and stepped inside. Immediately upon entering his apartment was the living room a few steps from the door, then there was a small kitchen to the left with one long counter and a couple black stools. To the right stood a hallway that lead to a bedroom along with a bathroom straight across. Yugi took his shoes off and immediately 4 paws came racing down the hall and over to the front door. Atem barked cheerfully and spun around in excitement, his tail wagging viciously. Yugi giggled and knelt down, hugging the drooling bunch of fur.

"Hahaha! Hey buddy! Who's a good boy, huh? Yes you are." Yugi ruffled the top of the dogs head and stood, walking towards his room to put his things where they belong. Yugi made his way down the hall and turned into his room. As he walked in he noticed a particular patch of black fur sprawled out on his bed. Yugi shook his head with a hum and took his jacket off, hanging it off the hook that was mounted on the near wall. Yugi approached the bed and the feline rose his head slightly to examine him, his crimson eyes looking him over quickly before mewing at him in greeting. That or he was displeased with the disturbance. Yugi smiled and stretched out his hand to pet him softly.

"Hey Yami bear, did I wake you?" Yugi asked quietly, the cat meowed at him again and got up, stretching out his back before rubbing up against Yugi's arm. Yugi's smile broadened and he scooped Yami into his arms, the felines pink paws sicking out at odd angles due to his current position. Yugi pecked his head before setting him down on the floor. Yami rubbed looked around for a moment before scurrying off, probably to go lick himself somewhere. Yugi flattened out the crinkles from his sheets where Yami had been sleeping prior to Yugi's return home and laid on the bed with a thump. Work had been stressful and the hours were starting to get to him.

Yugi reached into his pocket and fished out his phone, turning it on he checked the time. The digits read 7 : 30. Yugi sighed and set his phone down. Time seemed to pass him by no matter what he did. As nice as it was not having to arrive at work till 10, coming home at 7 was becoming a pain in the ass. After a few minutes of laying in silence, Yugi got up and made dinner, watched TV, and took Atem for a walk. When he got home the house was quiet and ready for sleep. Once he was sure Atem, and Yami were attended to, Yugi prepared himself for bed and climbed into the cool sheets. He sighed in relief at the comfort of the mattress under his aching back. The chairs at work were not particularly comfortable.

Suddenly Yugi's phone vibrated and he picked it up to see a text message from none other than Jason. Yugi hesitated, before opening his phone with a slide of his thumb, entered the pass code, and opened the text up. Yugi frowned as he read it.

Yugi, it's me, Jason. Look, I know what I said to you was uncalled for, and unfair to you...But I mean..you certainly had some things to say too..but that's not the point. I came to ask for a second chance. One more chance is all I ask. I hope you'll make the right decision. Txt me back when you get this. Bye.

Yugi shook his head in anger and he tapped the text bar to send one back, but stopped and stared at the screen, tears welling up in his eyes. He had the nerve to text him, asking for a second chance, but he didn't even have the balls to explain why he broke up with him in the first place? Or so much as say something nice without throwing in a nasty comment last minute? Yugi closed his eyes as the tears fell and he backed out of the conversation. He went on to delete Jason's contact for a second time, and turned off his phone, setting it face down on the end table next to his bed. He tried to wipe away the tears, but he couldn't.

A sudden whine and sniff at his side caught his attention and Yugi turned his head to meet Atem's snout in his face. The golden retriever looked at him, his head resting on the edge of the bed. Yugi sniffled and smiled weakly, tapping on the bed as an invitation for him. The dog complied and laid next to Yugi, resting his head on Yugi's chest. Yugi rubbed at Atem's fur as he continued to sob, not long after did Yami join in by jumping up onto the bed and laying close to Yugi's other side. The cat purred as Yugi stroked his back, causing Yugi to try taking deep breaths to calm down. The two animals had once again come to his aid in hopes to comfort their master in his time of need. Yugi smiled at that, feeling grateful for the family he had. Yugi wiped his nose with a tissue from a tissue box on the end table and he sniffled again.

" I love you guys...I knew I could trust you two.." Yugi said nasally from all the crying. The three laid in silence for a while until Yugi finally managed to drift off to sleep. Once he had fallen asleep, Yami and Atem both exited the room, trotting into the living room, a sudden sound alarmed them and the two both looked up at the ceiling. A flash of blue light engulfed the two in complete light and then all was quiet...
