Yuugi rushed towards the door.

"Yo," greeted Yami. He usually came over whenever he had the time. Well, more like all the time.

"You're late," Yuugi pouted.

"What are you talking about Aibou? It's barely been twenty minutes and I said that I'd come in thirty." Yami sighed deeply. "Well, at least I came." He entered the shop doors and looked around. It took him a while to realize that the shop was too quiet. He turned to ask Yuugi where his grandpa was.

"He went to another weird meeting thing with his friend. You know how he is, gone for one week,comes back, then gone for another week." Yuugi looked down. Yami didn't know what he should do to make his partner happy. Finally, a thought came to him. The one main reason why he usually came over. He dug into his pockets and grabbed a deck of duel cards.

"Want to play?" He waved the deck in front of Yuugi and he smiled.

"Watch. I'll win this time," Yuugi grinned.

"Oh~ now you're saying I'll lose this time huh?" Yuugi smiled and quickly set the preparations. Yami followed. They both sat across from each other and...

"DUEL!" Both shouted. Yuugi went first. (FYI Both of them have similar decks because I can and I don't know how to play yugioh so...Enjoy.)

"I place one card face down and play Mystical Elf in defense mode! (2000)" Yami smirked and picked up a card.

"I place two cards facing down and I end my turn." Yuugi was surprised at how Yami calmly ended his turn without summoning a monster. Hesitating he picked up a card and played Pot of Greed. Both picked up two cards. Both of them tried to hold back a smile. Yuugi place one more card facing down before summoning another monster, Feral Imp in attack position (1300). Yuugi thought about attacking but noticed the two face down cards. Not knowing if they were trap or spell cards, he didn't bother to attack and ended his turn.

"Wise choice Aibou, you sure learned a lot," Yami praised Yuugi. "But, that won't be enough. I place another card face down and summon Celtic Guardian in defense position(1200)! I end my turn."

"My turn!" Yuugi scanned his cards. He saw one card that caught his attention. Summoned Skull! It was incredibly powerful, but he didn't want to risk it. Holding his breath a little, he made a move. "I attack Celtic Guardian with Feral Imp! Attack!"

"Sorry but you seem to have forgotten my three set cards? I activate mirror force! Your attack is sent back to you!"

"I activate negate attack so I'm safe."

"Good." Yami smiled as he praised the little one. The duel continued (cause it's hard and I don't know how to play.) and Yami ended up winning.

"Ugh. Why do you always win?" Yuugi groaned.

"That's because you tend to forget. Not only do you have to pay attention to the field, you have to pay attention to the opponents reactions and think about their next moves. If you have all that, you should be able to win. I only won because of your reactions and because I manipulated you into attacking."

"Well yes, but your words get to me and it's just so frustrating." Yuugi looked away to the side in frustration.

"Yes. You also have to be a good liar too. If you can't manipulate someone into attacking or whatever, then you're likely unable to succeed. Like if you place a card down and your opponent thinks it's a spell or knows it and you need that card, then you smile or snicker like it is a trap. Eventually, if your opponent is tricked, they won't attack, leaving you the win. It's simple once you get a hang of it." Yami explained smoothly. Yuugi stared at him in confusion.

"Have I ever told you that you're exactly like a teacher?" Yuugi asked.

"Hmm... No."

"Well, you're like one now. You could teach a school how to duel and they could win almost every duel just by taking one class!"

"Okay, I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or-"

"It's a compliment! Jesus." Yami chuckled hearing his partner a little upset. Yuugi lied down exhausted. It was still midday and both of them were bored.

"Hey Yami."

"Huh?"

"Can I come over?"

"Why? There is nothing to do but just sit there and do nothing." Yami looked up trying to think if there was anything else to do.

"Well... I don't know..." Yuugi seemed to look embarrassed for some reason.

"Fine." Yami sighed. Yuugi brightened up. It's because I wanted to be with you. But that would just sound weird. Yuugi thought. They exited the store and went to where Yami lived.

"Where are your parents?" (Yes he has parents) Yuugi asked.

"My father's on a business trip and my mother always works, so she's hardly home." Yami opened to door. Both took off their shoes and entered. Yuugi has been to Yami's house before, but even still, he couldn't stop staring at his home. It was tidy and neat. The walls were pure white. There were three cups on the table and a tablecloth covering it. The tablecloth was white with gold stripes on them, creating a pattern. "Anything to drink?" He asked.

"Water's fine." Yuugi replied and sat at the table. The chair were comfy and a normal size.

"Here," Yami said putting the glass down. Yuugi grabbed the glass and took a sip.

"So, mind telling me why you wanted to come over?"

"Pfft! (cough cough) What?" Yuugi said in a hoarse voice.

"You know what I said. So, why?"

"Well, there was really nothing to do so..."

"And there's things to do here?" Yuugi nodded. Yami sighed. "Like what?" Yuugi froze.

"Um... Like... Walk?"

"Really. That's what you think is fun." Yuugi did a slight nod while Yami sighed. "Well, I'm going to my room. Call me if you need anything!" Yami said while walking upstairs.

"Kay!" Yuugi stared off into space thinking and daydreaming. Well, I came over. I should probably go before dusk. But what should I do then?" Yuugi kept thinking and grabbed his cup and took a sip.

"Pfft! Bitter." He looked at the cup and noticed that it wasn't his. It was one of the other cups on the table. He blinked a few times wondering why anyone would try something so bitter and gross. He got up to the living room and sat on the couch. He noticed how quiet it could get with no one in the house. So Yami has to stay in a house all alone. With no one and nothing. He couldn't help but think. He lied down and before he could register what he just did, he fell asleep.
