Chapter 1

...

I rubbed my heavy lidded eyes with a whimper escaping my lips, the golden sun rays already sneaking into my small bedroom through the white, light curtains, spreading a warming sensation all over the place. I lazily threw my cold feet off the bed, starting to feel around for my fuzzy slippers whilst running my slim, pale hand through my equally if not paler anarchic messy hair. I couldn't help the loud yawn that escaped my mouth leaving it a agape for a brief moment while my eyes, blurry eyes, were fixed on the watch around my wrist.

I could feel my lips curl into a smile, it was late in the afternoon, and the idea of waking up that at that time of the day was rebellious enough to stir something inside of me. It was Saturday, and... Well- My birthday. Usually it's not that of a big deal but i decided to try and enjoy the day and by that i mean staying inside, watching a classic horror movie and probably cooking myself some fancy food, 'Profiterole, maybe?' i thought to myself and i could already feel myself almost drooling.

I swayed lingeringly across the room before i grabbed a pair of fresh boxers- feeling the heat rising to my cheeks on remembering the previous night- grey sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt and eventually heading to take a shower. Upon feeling the warm translucent water running down my flesh, all of my body began to relax and I could actually enjoy the steamy atmosphere surrounding me. After feeling fully satisfied and clean I stepped out of the shower, the rather colder air brushing against my blushful skin and the icy ground hitting my feet.

After a while, I was Lethargically stuffing some popcorn into my mouth whilst watching one of my favorite movies, Friday the 13th. I stole a quick glance at the clock, 6:13pm, I sighed and moved my eyes once again to the television before hearing a steady knocking on the front door, I raised a brow and calmly removed the bowl from my lap, placing it on the sofa before walking to the door.

"Who's there?" I had to clear my voice before speaking. Earning no response from the other side of the said door, my long fingers curved slowly around the metallic handle as my eyes narrowed a bit.

"Who's there?" this time i raised my voice slightly, but again, no response. I flinched suddenly when I heard my phone beeping, so I turned around and walked to the coffee table placed on front of the sofa-where i had left it- to pick it up, it was a text message from an unknown number, I titled my head and swallowed, the white locks tickling my neck, before i opened it.

Open the door. - 6:18pm from Unknown.

My heart raced, not only from fear but rather from excitement, I could hear the movie playing in the background so i decided to mute the sound, i moved slowly and carefully, peeking at the front door with every movement i made or step I took. When I arrived at the door, I wrapped my slender digits unenthusiastically around the door handle, i pushed my body closer and rested the side of my head against the wood, listening carefully, I heard soft Whispering so I stepped back and pulled the door open.

"SURPRISE!"

"Wha-" my mouth was left ajar and i was suddenly embraced, i blinked and let out a breath i didn't know i was holding, "Happy Birthday, Ryou!" a feminine voice spoke, no shouted.. in my ears- and i immediately realized it was Tea's.

"Woah, Guys-" i tried to speak but she was holding me tightly, as she finally decided to let my body go, i was patted harshly on the back, "Happy birthday Ryou, You shoulda've seen yer face bud, you looked hilarious!" The blond snickered as he punctuated his words.

"Oh god, thank you everyone, I'm surprised you remembered." i stated whilst taking my breath, my eyes roamed all over the living room- i was so rude, i didn't even invite them in, but they did get inside anyways- and i could spot Yugi, Tristan and - - Malik?! My eyes widened and i almost choked on air. He was leaning against the doorway, my doorway, with a smirk plastered on his face.

"Of course we did!" Tea replied to my previous statement and it was only then that i realized that time must've stopped when my eyes landed on the Egyptian. "Well, thank you so much! I really don't know what to say- and Malik?" i tried not to sound very overjoyed to see him but i failed miserably.

He nodded his head and God i felt as if my heart had skipped a beat, "What kind of friend would i be if i didn't show up for you birthday?" the sound of his fine voice sent shivers down my spine, of course i had spoken with him before but we only skyped or video chatted, his real voice was so even more beautiful, it felt as if golden, melting sun rays touched my very existence." S that means that last night you-" i was about to finish but his purple, framed orbs glared at me, and i promptly realized what i was doing. He was the reason i had to take a refreshing shower earlier that morning, and when the images that played across my imagination before going to bed ran across my mind at that very moment, i couldn't hide the blush dusting my pale cheeks.

"Yes, i was texting you from the hotel's room." he replied with a Wink that only i understood.

Thank you for reading my story!
