(Yami and Yugi)
"Yami! Come on! We have to get Halloween costumes for Malik's party!" Yugi called for his darkness to come to the car. Yami ran out the door with a doughnut in his mouth and was hastily putting on his trademark jacket.
"I'm coming!" A swallowed the rest of his pastry and sat in the drivers seat.
"Boys, don't forget! I won't be here when you get back. I have my own party to get to. But be home by 11 sharp, okay?" Grandpa yelled from the door of the game shop. Yugi opened his window and poked his head out.
"Sure thing grandpa! Bye!" Yugi put his head back in the car and shut the window. He turned to Yami. "So, what kind of costume are you looking for?"
"I'm not sure. I'll see what they have." Yami turned on the car and drove down to the mall. When they reached the mall they got out of the car and locked it. Yami placed his arm around Yugi's waist as Yugi placed his arm around his own. They wandered through Hot Topic and the Halloween store until they found the items they needed for their outfits. After purchasing the items the left for home.
(Ryou and Bakura)
Ryou walked through the Halloween store looking for vampire teeth. Bakura followed him closely, eyeing all the weird items the store had. He really enjoyed the store. It had an evil vibe.
/Yami? What are you doing?/ Ryou watched his Yami walk over to a caged in area.
//Why in the hell would they sell rubber boobs?// He looked at the huge rubber bulges.
/Because some people wear them to be funny I guess./ Ryou pulled his Yami away from the obscene displays and over to the costumes. /Here. Pick something to wear to Malik's party./
//Why are we going again?//
/Because they're our friends and we'd have fun./ Bakura rolled his eyes.
(Malik and Ishtar)
"ISHTAR!" Malik screamed at the top of his lungs while looking outside his window.
"What is it?!" Ishtar burst through Malik's bedroom door. Malik ran over to him and threw his arms around the Yami's neck.
"Oh Ishtar. The house looks great. Thank you." Ishtar hug him back.
"It has to look good for your party. We want people to be afraid, right?" Malik nodded and gripped him tighter.
"How's the downstairs coming?" He asked sweetly.
"It's coming along fine." Both boys glanced up at girl standing in the doorway.
"Isis? What are you doing up?" Malik's sister strolled into his and Ishtar's room casually and sat on the bed. The boys released themselves embarrassedly.
"I heard you scream and decided to see what the hell was wrong." She smiled kindly.
"O.K. I'm going to finish the downstairs. "Ishtar looked to Malik and held out his hand. "Care to join me?" Malik took his hand and they strolled downstairs.
(Joey and Seto)
"I can't believe I have to go shopping with you." Joey complained. He wasn't really upset but he had to keep up his act in front of the billionaire. Seto looked over at the blonde with a smirk.
"Come on puppy dog. Stop that complaining. I'm getting a headache." Joey rolled his eyes and wandered through Sears.
"I'm not a puppy dog Kaiba." Joey growled. Seto shrugged and went to the sheet section of the store. Joey followed him cautiously.
"Why the hell are we over here?" Joey asked in confusion.
"I told Ishtar I'd get him and Malik black sheets for decoration." Joey went 'oh' and wandered further into the sheets and pillows.
*Why can't I express my feelings for Joey?* Seto watched him wander with sad eyes. He had fallen for the blonde not to long ago. He wouldn't say anything because he feared rejection. Yes, the great Seto Kaiba was afraid of something.
*How did I get stuck with shopping with my crush anyhow?* Joey's mind floated back to earlier that day.
(Flashback)
"Please Joey. It's only for a little while. You only need to get a costume." Serenity begged him to go and get a costume with the only person she could think of with a license. Seto Kaiba.
"Fine sis. But you'll owe me later." She smiled at him and skipped off to her new room.
(End Flashback)
"Are you in there Joey?" Seto waved a hand in front of Joey's face, trying to get his attention.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout that." Seto put his hand down and looked over him.
"So…what are you being for Halloween?" Joey smiled.
"It's a surprise." He gave Seto a peace sign.
"Oh, you're being a dog aren't you?" Joey's eyes narrowed. "I've got the perfect thing for that." Seto pulled our a dog collar from his pocket.
"Why the hell do you carry that around with you?!" Seto smirked at the brown eyed teens comment.
"Just to piss you off puppy." He said plainly. Joey's anger flared and he lunged at Seto.
"I'm gonna kill you!" They landed on a bed in the far end of the store.
*Thank god no one's around to see this. I might do something rather foolish.* Seto thought.
*Oh damn. What am I doing? He looks so good under me.* Joey leaned down, his glare gone, and looked Seto in the eyes. Seto stared up at Joey with contentment playing his features. He closed his eyes and leaned in, kissing Joey softly. Joey was stiff as a board at first, but then relaxed into the show of affection and closed his eyes as well. Seto felt him respond and placed his arms around the blonde. The moment was short lived however when the sound of people approaching forced them to separate.
"Joey…I…" Seto tired to say something but the words wouldn't fit. Joey grabbed his hand and led him away from the people to a dark area of the store.
"Okay. Uh…what the hell was that?" Joey still held Seto hand, looking him in the eyes again
"Um…well, damn. I don't know." Seto looked down at his feet. He felt a hand under his chin and his face was pulled up. Joey smiled at him.
"I liked it." He kissed Seto on the lips gently. Seto responded happily and urged the kiss to go deeper. Joey felt Seto's tongue slide over his lips and he parted his mouth slowly. His and Seto's tongue's fought for dominance. But the kiss had to break. Breathing was essential.
"I'm in love with you Joey." Joey looked at him carefully, then smiled.
"I'm in love with you too." Seto suddenly grabbed him by the collar of his green shirt and shoved him against the wall. "Hey! What gives?!"
"Look puppy, no one can know about this relationship yet. We'll tell everyone later." He smirked and kissed Joey hard. When he let Joey go from the kiss he brushed him off and place him back on solid ground. Joey smiled and poked his chest.
"Yeah well, you better not let Mokuba slip." Seto grabbed his bag of sheets and walked away. Joey followed him in back. "and no *PDA's." Seto looked over his shoulder and smiled at his puppy.
*Public Displays of Affection.
(Malik and Ishtar's Party: 8:30)
Yugi walked up Malik's pathway slowly. He didn't know what Ishtar had put on the house to scare him. Yami walked beside him with his arms around his shoulders.
"So far so good Yami." Yugi said quietly to his lover. Yami squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.
"HI GUYS!" Ishtar burst through the front door.
"Aahhhh!" Yugi hopped behind Yami.
"Ishtar…I told not to do that." Malik said, pushing his Yami inside. "Sorry. Hey, cool. You guys look awesome as Dark Magician and Celtic Guardian. Come on in." Yugi smiled and walked in behind Yami for protection. They walked in and glanced at the dark and smoky living room. They saw Ryou and Bakura making out on the couch, Ryou laying on top of Bakura. From what Yugi could tell Bakura was a vampire and Ryou was an angel. Yami looked over from the happy couple to Tristan and Tea, who looked as if they were about to throw up.
"Hey guys!" Yugi said politely. "What's wrong?" Tea pointed to the couple.
"Uh, gay isn't really something we need to see." Tristan said unpleasantly.
"So…what are you guys?" Yami asked, changing the subject.
"I'm a sorceress." Tea said spreading her arms for a full view of her costume.
"And I'm a General." Tristan saluted Yami and Yugi. Yugi giggled and walked over to Ryou and Bakura. He tapped Ryou's shoulder.
"Hey guys!" Ryou looked up and smiled and sat up. Bakura glared at Yugi and sat up as well. He placed his arm around Ryou's waist and Ryou placed his head on Bakura's shoulder.
"Hey Yugi. Good Dark costume." Ryou complimented.
"Yeah brat. Where's the pharaoh?" Bakura was still angry at Yugi's intrusion.
"Don't call him a brat tomb robber." Yami stood behind Yugi, placing his arms around his shoulders protectively. Yugi looked up at him and smiled.
"HEY GUYS!" Joey yelled into the house. He wore a patch over his right eye and a hook on his left hand.
"Are you a pirate Joe?" Ishtar asked.
"Yep. This was a cool outfit so I picked it." Joey walked in and sat on a chair. Seto came in and stood in the doorframe, a whip in his left hand. He sported in black leather and looked like a dog tamer. Joey blushed and looked away.
"Hey Malik, catch." Malik caught the black sheets that were thrown at him.
"Thanks Kaiba." Malik said gratefully and Isis came down the stairs with Shadi, both refusing to wear costumes.
"Lets play a game." Malik suggested.
"Yeah. How about…Truth or Dare?" Ryou recommended. Everyone agreed minus Isis and Shadi, who didn't fell like playing, and they sat in a circle.
"Okay. I'll go first. Hmm…Yugi, truth or dare?" Malik asked.
"Dare." Yugi said proudly from Yami's lap.
"It has to be good. I got it. You have to kiss Yami for the rest of the night every time I say lazy."
"Sure. I can handle that."
"LAZY!" Yugi kissed Yami on the lips lightly.
"My turn now. Ryou, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Where did Bakura first show you physical affection, in that way?"
"Um, well…I guess in the living room on the couch. That's why we love couch's soo much." Ryou leaned against Bakura and they smiled at each other. Everyone else turned bright red.
"Joey, truth or dare?" Ryou asked the blonde.
"Dare."
"Kiss Seto Kaiba like you love him." The room turned silent. Ryou laughed nervously.
"Fine. It's just a dare." Joey, who was sitting next to Seto, leaned over and kissed him passionately. The room was then filled with hoots and howls from the boys. Tea and Tristan had dismissed themselves from the house when the game started. They had previous engagements to attend. Joey parted from Seto, trying to look disgusted. They sat away from each other and stared at the floor.
"Okay, my turn. Ishtar, ya know the deal." Joey lifted his head with a smile.
"Truth." He wasn't in the mood to do anything.
"What do you desire to do with Malik the most?" Ishtar sat in deep thought for a minute and then spoke up.
"I guess I would want to make love with him on the beach at sunrise." He shrugged his shoulders and sat up against the leather chair. Malik looked over to him with a smile.
/Do you really mean that?/ Ishtar smiled at his aibou.
//Of course I do.// Malik jumped on his Yami and kissed him deeply.
"Ok, ok. Enough of the mushy stuff. We need a good dare." Isis said from her seat.
"Right. Yami, truth or dare?" Ishtar asked the former pharaoh.
"I guess dare." Ishtar smiled evilly and stood.
"You have to kiss Bakura. Oh, and one more thing…" Yami and Bakura sweatdropped and looked at their lights. "…you have to be in the dark."
"I can't do that!" Both Yami's yelled. Malik looked at his Yami with an angry expression.
"Ishtar…don't do that. How would you feel if you had to be in the dark again?" Ishtar sat down and pouted. "Please, Yami." Ishtar looked at his aibou in shock. The room was silent again.
//You called me Yami. You never called me that before.//
/I know./
"Fine. Just kiss the tomb robber." Malik smiled to his darkness and hugged him. Yami walked over to the thief and kissed him quickly. He ran to his seat and sat down, Yugi on his lap.
"Lazy." Yugi kissed Yami sweetly. Ryou, even though it wasn't a dare, kissed his Yami as well.
"Seto Kaiba. You've been very quiet. Truth or dare?" Yami asked nicely to his rival.
"Truth. I don't feel like being tormented like everyone else." Yugi whispered something into Yami's ear and Yami smiled.
"Okay Seto. What happened between you and Joey today?" Seto perked his head up quickly and stared the Yami dressed as Celtic Guardian.
"What the hell are you talking about?" He snapped.
"You've both been quiet and we were curios why?" Yugi said innocently.
"Nothing happened between us. His sister asked me to take him shopping for his costume. Since the puppy can't drive I had to take him." Joey glared at him.
"I'm not a puppy." He growled under his breath.
"Whatever you say." Seto mumbled back. "Ahh, Bakura. You're the only one who hasn't gone yet. Truth or dare?" The tomb robber looked up from his aibou's face and glared at the billionaire.
"Dare." Seto thought for a moment.
"You can't touch Ryou until this party's over." Bakura was never one to turn down a challenge.
"Deal." Ryou looked at his Yami with sad eyes. He got off his lap and sat on the couch.
"It's 9:30. This party doesn't end till 11, soo, lets go trick or treating!"
(Ryou and Bakura)
It was about 10:40 when they got back to Malik's house. Bakura was having a hard time dealing with his dare. Ryou was hanging all over Malik and Ishtar form his sugar rush. Seto had also told him that Bakura could not talk in his mind to Ryou. It could break all the rules. But he didn't beg Seto to switch the times. He was no begging fool.
"Bakura. I'm tired. Can we go home now?" Ryou asked from his seat on the couch. Bakura looked at the clock. *Damn. 10:55.*
"In five more minutes we can go." He stood anxiously in front of his light, waiting for the time to pass. *One more minute.* He spoke to himself. H tapped his foot until he heard the clock chime. A smile found its way to his normally dark features. He jumped onto his Hikari and kissed him deeply.
'I'm glad that's over." Seto spoke to Joey from the kitchen. "He looked like he was ready to burst." Joey nodded in agreement. Malik and Ishtar had retreated to their room for some rest. They told everyone to head home by 11 and Isis and Shadi would take care of everything else.
"We have to go. Thanks for everything." Yugi and Yami left to the car and drove down the street. Ryou and Bakura got off the couch and fixed themselves up.
"Bye guys. We'll see you tomorrow at school." Ryou grabbed Bakura's hand and they left as well. Joey and Seto said their thanks to the raven haired girl and walked to Seto's limo. Joey sat down next to his new boyfriend and looked out the window. Seto called to his driver to head to his house.
"Why aren't you taking me home?" Joey asked, confused by Seto's demand.
"Serenity asked me to keep you overnight. She had a party at the house." Joey stared at Seto for a moment then smile.
"She's defiantly my sister." Joey yawned and lay his head on the seat. Seto looked over at his puppy and smiled. *This is going to be a wonderful relationship.*
