'+My Fiance's Cousin'
[CHAPTER ONE]
It was a calm, September morning. Yuugi Motou awoke to the lovely sound of birds chirping outside his bedroom window. He stretched and walked over to the window, careful not trip over any of the boxes his things were in.
"Today's the day I move in with Seto," He said to himself, feeling the soft breeze against his face. He wanted to be happy about it, but he didn't like the idea of an arrange marriage. Part of him wanted to go up to his father and just say, "No, I don't want to marry Seto." But if there was one thing he hated, it was confrontation and disappointment. He hated having to confront people about what he wanted and he hated disappointing people.
Especially his mother, who had died a few months earlier ago. The Motou's corporation had always wanted to combine with one of the richest company in Japan, the Kaiba's. And the solution was marriage between the two companies. This was his mother last wish to him before she had move on. For his mother's sake, he painted a smile on his face and went to get ready for the day.
He dialed his dad's number and waited for him to pick up. After a few rings, his father's annoyed voice came. "What is it, Yuugi?"
"I just wanted to say that I'm ready to move," Yuugi said softly.
"Oh, good. So you're okay living with Seto and his cousin?" His father asked him.
"Yeah, he's my fiancé after all."
"Great. Now I have to work. Don't call me again unless it's urgent." His father told him abruptly before he immediately hung up. Yuugi sighed and put down his phone. Typically, work always came first for his father.

Yuugi decided to drop by a coffee shop before his father arrived to pick him up. He paid the guy at the cash register and turned to leave. However, at the same time, a guy stepped forward and Yuugi ended up spilling his hot chocolate all over the stranger's jacket. "Oh snap, I'm so sorry!" He apologized immediately. Yuugi grabbed a bunch of napkins and tried to wipe the chocolate but the guy grabbed his wrist and stopped him.
"You idiot, do you know how much this jacket costs?" The guy hissed at Yuugi, his eye twitched once.
"I said sorry," Yuugi mumbled, keeping his eyes to the floor this time when he noticed him and the stranger have strangely familiar hair.
"What was that? You shouldn't mumble!" The guy teased.
Yuugi huffed and looked up, "You don't have to be such a jerk!" He yelled.
"You spill hot chocolate all over my new jacket and I'm the jerk here?" The guy shouted back, sounding annoyed and amused at the same time. Yuugi nodded. "Well you've got to clean my jacket, don't you?" The guy said, leaning down closer to Yuugi's face.
Yuugi blushed from the close contact and he could make out the perfect features on the stranger's handsome face, "N-no….leave me alone. I said I was sorry."
"Sorry doesn't fix my jacket!"
"And being a jerk won't either!" Yuugi yanked himself out of the guy's grip and glared at him.
"Urgh, forget you. You're just a waste of breath." He snapped coldly, pushing past Yuugi and walking away.
Yuugi scoffed and glared after the guy, "What a jerk." He left the coffee shop, still feeling angry at that guy at the coffee store.

Yuugi gazed upon the beautiful mansion he would be living in for possible the rest of his life. Movers began to carry his belongings inside the house. He was looking around the house when he heard a familiar voice calling out to him.
"Yuugi!" Malik cried out. He was Seto Kaiba's step brother, sharing the same father. Although these two were brothers, they both were totally different. Seto Kaiba, workaholic, quiet, doesn't smile much. Malik, playful, loud and smile a lot, a whole lot.
"Hey, Malik." Yuugi smiled and gave his friend a hug. He and Malik occasionally met while his mother visited the Kaiba's household. Despite the constant distance between them, they were still fairly good friends.
"I haven't seen you for a while now. How are you?" The hyperactive Malik questioned, wrapping an arm his buddy's waist and leading him out to the garden.
Yuugi chuckled, "I've been better. I had a rude encounter at that coffee place a couple block from my house. There was this really rude guy." Yuugi scrunched up his face thinking about the stranger.
"Oh really? What did he do because I can take care of him for you," Malik grinned, cracking his knuckles.
"That won't be necessary since I'll probably never ever see him again."
"Yeah, you're right."
Malik looked at his friend who was examining the garden, "Do you like the garden?" Malik asked.
Yuugi nodded his head, smiling as he looked at the beautiful flowers. "Yeah, it's really nice." Yuugi briefly touched the roses, "So tell me about your life."
"Life's pretty good. Since Seto's the older one, he's taking care of the company's problems and all that so I can freely do whatever I want." Malik explained, "How about you?"
"Well, I took lots of business classes in college so when my dad decides to, he'll pass on the company to me." Yuugi told him with a sigh, "Which probably won't be for a while. My dad's in love with his company."
"I don't get why people would even want to work in an office. I hate offices." Malik shuddered at the very idea of ever working in one. It was so not his style, "Okay, come on with me. I want to show you around the house."
"Alright."

"Like it?" Malik asked.
"Love it!" Yuugi stared, mouth-wide hanging open at his surroundings. The house was beautiful, elegant and very fancy. Though he was rich, he lived in a regular house with regular things. He didn't like to flaunt his money.
Malik scratched his head with a smile, "Yeah, you'll be living with Seto and our cousin, so a big house comes in handy."
"Tell me about your cousin." Yuugi inquired.
"His name is Yami Sennen. He's really quiet so he shouldn't bother you much." Malik explained.
"We're home!" Seto's cold voice called in.
Another familiar voice spoke up, "Why are you calling like that?"
"Force of habit."
Malik rolled his eyes, "Great, they're back."
Seto casually waltzed in. Yuugi smiled and waved shyly at him, "Hey there, I'm Seto as you probably already know." He shook hand with Yuugi.
"I'm Yuugi."
"And that's my cousin Yami…." A too familiar man walked in. His eyes met Yuugi's.
"IT'S YOU!" They both exclaimed and pointing at each other.
Yuugi and Yami glared at each other with fury and annoyance. "I take it you two have met before?' Seto asked looking confuse.
"Malik, he's that rude guy I met at the coffee shop!" Yuugi brought it up.
"Coffee shop….? Yami, is he that annoying little shrimp you were complaining about?" Seto looked at Yuugi.
Yuugi blinked his eyes, "Annoying little shrimp?"
"So he's the one you were ranting on and on about? Man, I've never seen you talk about someone for more than two seconds." Seto chuckled at his cousin.
"Shut up, Seto." Yami hissed. He turned to Yuugi, "Yes, I called you an annoying little shrimp."
Yuugi pouted, "Meanie!"
"I'm the mean one? You spilled chocolate all over my jacket!"
"And I said sorry!"
"Sorry doesn't fix my jacket-"
Seto and Malik glanced nervously between the two of them, who seemed like they were about to explode. Malik decided to join in before things got out of hand, "So Yuugi, let's go check out your room. Seto, Yami, bring his stuff upstairs!" Malik dragged the small boy up
"Thanks for that, he was beginning to annoy me." Yuugi smiled gratefully at his friend.
"Well, that's what I do. Hang back until the precise moment and jump in when the moment's best." Malik grinned back and his smile got bigger when he saw Yuugi's room. "Whoa, big room!" And his voice echoed back.
A cough interrupted the both, "Okay Mal, enough fooling around." Seto came up, holding a box and placing it down on the floor, "Like the room? Mine's on the other side of the house." He told Yuugi who nodded his head back.
"That's actually a good thing." Malik chirped in.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what I-"
Seto's phone rang at that moment. He reached into his pocket to pick it up, "Hello? Yeah…yeah…yeah right now? But…okay…okay…stop talking now…I GET IT…I'LL BE THERE, NOW SHUT UP!" He snappishly hung up. "That was the office, they need me."
"Yeah, I should be heading out too. Marik's probably waiting for me." Malik said.
Yuugi raised his eyebrows, "Who's Marik?" He asked.
"He's my boyfriend." Malik checked his watch and his eyes widen, "Oh shit! I've got to go. Love you Yuugi and have fun." He gave the small boy a quick hug and ran out of the room, bumping into Yami on the way out.
"Wait up, Mal! Bye Yuugi." Seto said and looked at his cousin in the doorway, "Yami, help him unpack."
"But-"
"No buts. Just do it." Seto rushed downstairs.
Yami sighed and walk inside the room, "Okay, annoying little shrimp, where does this box go?" He asked.
Yuugi frowned, "My name is Yuugi."
"Yuugi? That's a weird name."
"So is annoying little shrimp!"
"Fine, then I will call you Yuu" Yami declared, smirking.
Yuugi narrowed his eyebrows, "Yuu? Fine, then I shall you Yam!"
Yami laughed shaking his head, "Seriously? That's the best you can come up with?"
"Shut up." Yuugi stuck his tongue out at him, "Now go and get the boxes from downstairs, I have a lot to pack today."
Yami shrugged his shoulder in a bored way, "Sure, whatever you want, little annoying Yuu."
"Just go, big meanie, Yam."
