Chapter 1
It was a bright, sunny Saturday morning in Domino City. It was quite early in the morning when Yugi Motou was wide awake and texting on his silver, sleek cellphone.
On one side of the room, lay Yami, or Atem as he preferred to be called from now on, still sleeping. Yugi then turned his head slightly to see his other half on his side of the room.
'How am I lucky that he decided to stay with us. Although I feel bad that he won't see his family for more several years' Yugi thought to himself as he prepared to take his morning shower before heading to school.
"Hey Yugi, before you go into the bathroom, I have to ask you something really quick?"
"Sure, Atem, what is it? If it is about yesterday's incident with Joey, I don't want to talk about it right now."
"Yeah, basically that was the thing I wanted to ask you about. But since you're not going to tell me, might as well ask Joey for the information".
"Please, don't ask Joey. I beg you".
"Why? Are you hiding something from me Yugi?"
"It's a very good reason Atem. I'm not going tell you or have Joey tell you."
"Why is that? Is it good or bad?"
"It's actually a good thing Atem. I haven't done anything wrong but both Joey and I are planning something for you and right now you are not going to know what it is".
"I hope it's not anything embarrassing or anything like that. You know very well that in those situations, I get very uncomfortable".
"I know you do. Well, I have to get to my shower. I don't want to be late for school, especially for first period. I have a midterm in that class and I don't want to fail".
"Okay, better hurry up then. We have to leave in 35 minutes in order to get to school in time".
"I know."
"Hey Tea, good morning." Yugi said as he saw his female companion approaching him.
"Hey Yugi," Tea responded with a smile. She then saw Atem behind the counter talking to Joey about something when he saw Joey blush in response to something Atem said to him.
"I wonder what Atem said that caused Joey to blush like that" Tea said and Yugi saw that Joey was indeed blushing.
"I think I know what Atem said to cause Joey to react like that. I have to ask him later when I get the chance'.
"We have to get to class. We are going to be late" Yugi said, causing the others to agree in response and they head off to Domino High.
"Hey Atem, can I ask you something?" Yugi asked to the taller teen who was trailing right behind him.
"Sure, what is it?"
"What did you ask Joey that caused him to blush a while ago? I told you to not ask Joey about what we talked about earlier. He will not reply to your question until later next week".
"I'm sorry. I am just really curious on what you two are hiding. Does Tea and Tristan know about this too?"
"Yes, both do know about the secret. And they are not going to say a word until the day arrives".
"Can I least get a hint or something? Or do I have to wait until next week to find out?"
"You have to wait until next week Atem. I am sorry you have to wait".
Atem just frowned in response. He really wants to know what the rest of his friends are keeping from him.
'I guess I have to be patient and wait to find out and see'.
