NSUD: Hello! Welcome to my first romance fic. That guy over there, yeah the one with the cool looking sword, that's Sephy, one of my many alternate personalities. Someone told me that I shouldn't apologize before I even do something, so I won't.
Sephy: *smirks* Fine, then I'll apologize for you. She's sorry for frying your brain and for ramming her words through your heart.
NSUD: SEPHY!!
Sephy: *Innocent look that doesn't look very innocent* I was only trying to be polite.
NSUD: *mutters* Polite...yeah in your own little way.
Sephy: I heard that.
NSUD: Yeah, well you...you...GUY!
Sephy: Oooh, I'm so scared.
NSUD: hmph, :P
Sephy: *glare*
NSUD: *cringes* Umm, just, read the story okay people?
Sephy: *smugly* Didn't you forget something?
NSUD: Oh, yeah, I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! At least not until I overthrow Japan and control all the Anime therein, Muahahaha!
Sephy: You're starting to sound like me.
NSUD: O.O You're right, I am. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Yugi looked up at the teacher and sighed. 'Why does Algebra have to be so hard?' he thought to himself, and forced his eyes to watch the chalkboard. It was no use, soon his eyes were wandering again. They stopped on the boy sitting two seats across from him, Yami.
Yugi remembered the day school started. They had both had quite a shock seeing how similar they both were, in appearance at least. They both had the same facial characteristics, except that Yami was more tan than Yugi, and even had the sam hairstyle. It was eerie, but Yami was more of an outgoing and social type, while Yugi was just one of those people referred to as 'Oh, that quiet kid that sits over there?' He and Yami had never talked much either, in fact they barely knew each other.
Yugi sighed again and quickly turned his eyes back to his paper as Yami happened to look over at him. He attempted to tackle the next problem, but it was no use, he was hopeless. Throwing his pencil down in disgust, he let his eyes wander over to Yami again. This time Yami was looking right at him and Yugi blushed and looked away. 'Why am I blushing?' He asked himself.
Soon class was over and Yugi had only completed the first two problems. He was about to put the worksheet away when he saw someone standing over him. Looking up, he saw it was Yami. "Having math troubles?" Yami asked, looking at Yugi's worksheet.
"Well, um...yes." He replied and looked down again.
"Don't worry about it. It's simple once you get used to it. Maybe we could meet after school and I can help you with it." Yami offered.
Yugi looked up and saw Yami smiling, and an odd feeling flowed through him. "Really? That would be great, thanks. We could meet at my house if you want."
Yami nodded. "Where do you live?"
"Just at the Game shop down the street, my Grandpa owns the shop and we live upstairs"
"Oh," Yami nodded in comprehension, "After school then?"
Yugi smiled and nodded as well. Then he looked at the clock. "Oh! I've got to go, or I'll be late for my next class!" And with that he ran down the halls to his next classroom.
Yugi payed barely any attention in his other classes. He was thinking about Yami. 'Is he actually going to be my friend...my first friend? Maybe not, he might be on a dare or something by his friends. He probably doesn't even care about math, or me for that matter. Wait, why should I be caring if he cares about me or not? And why do I get a weird feeling when he smiles. Yugi, you must be going crazy.'
After school, he walked home quickly. His grandpa was there at the storefront. "Hi grandpa," Yugi smiled, "Someone's coming over to help me with my math, is that okay?"
His grandpa smiled back at him, "Of course, one of your friends?"
"Y-yeah." Yugi said quickly and hurried up to his room.
It hurt whenever his grandpa talked about his 'friends'. Yugi always pretended to have a bunch of friends whenever his grandpa asked about school. It wasn't because he had delusions of them, it was because he didn't want his grandpa to worry. He was getting older now and Yugi didn't want his grandpa to have too much to handle. His heart wasn't as good as it used to be, and on a couple of scary occasions he had heart attacks. One of these days he would get so overburdened, that one of the heart attacks might prove fatal.
Yugi quickly changed from his school uniform into a more comfortable pair of black pants and tank top. He pulled out the worksheet and looked at it with dismay. Even with Yami's help there was no way he could figure it out. What was a square root anyway, something that grows under a square tree? Does it have square leaves?
He flopped onto his bed and sighed, waiting for Yami to come over. 'Maybe I was right and he was just on a dare for his friends.' then suddenly he recalled other school memories, 'Or maybe he's one of those people who'll never show up and start laughing the minute they see me at school, making fun of me. Someone who steals your papers and flushes them down the toilet, and as an afterthought, stick your head in it too. Someone who...'
Then suddenly the bell on the front door rang and Yugi realised that he was crying. He heard voices downstairs, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. And then he heard the footsteps on the stairs, and he hurriedly wiped away the tears, hoping that his face wasn't puffy, hoping it was Yami, and most of all hoping...something. He couldn't tell what it was, only that it had to do with Yami.

NSUD: Sorry, that was a short chapter. Will you review and tell me what you think? Try not to be to harsh though, my heart is fragile like Yugi's grandpa's and it just might shatter. It's not like one of those shatter proof rulers. Of course, why would you care if the ruler shatters or not? If it's broken, it's broken.
Sephy: You're rambling.
NSUD: ...So I am. Well then you try to convince them to review.
Sephy: *evil grin* REVIEW OR I'LL STAB YOUR HEART OUT!
NSUD: I didn't say to threaten them.
Sephy: No, you just said to convince them. I think that was pretty convincing.
NSUD: *rolls eyes*
