Yugi Muto nervously fixed his tie. He hated playing for Seto's parties. He could always feel eyes on him, judging him. Everyone believes his career was handed to him because of disability...and because of Seto. How could a blind man get a job in the first place? Yugi worked for Seto for a few years at his gaming company while he went to college. He wanted his life to be normal as possible. No special books. No special tutors. With a little help from his friend Jou and Seto, he finished college with a breeze. He decided to be a music teacher at Domino Elementary. He always loved kids and had a passion for music. He worked hard for himself. Never took Seto for granted. Never used him, but no one believes him.
Yugi sighed deeply as he heard knocking at the front door. He answered. "Hello Yugi. Ready to go?" Seto asked.
"Yes...why do I have to play tonight?" Yug asked. "Couldn't you get someone else? You know you get a lot of crap from these parties when I play."
"I know, but you are the best. A few songs and everyone forgets what they say about you. You move them." Seto explained as they walked to his limo. He opened the door as Yugi got in.
"It still hurts. Hearing what they say… Yugi mumbled. "But you know I appreciate what you do for me. Having a blind friend isn't easy." Yugi smiled as Seto got in.
"And you know wouldn't hesitate to do anything for you Yugi." Seto said. He gently tapped the window behind his seat, letting the driver know they are ready. "Some days, I am glad you are blind." Seto chuckled. "Our Jou likes it on the couch."
"Seto!" Yugi blushed deeply, slapping Seto playfully on the leg. "That was once! If you take him to bed when you know I am coming over, don't stay on the couch!" Yugi huffed.
"That would ruin the moment." Seto pouted.
Ignoring what Seto said, Yugi leaned back into the seat. "How long am I staying tonight?" Yugi asked.
"Till I take you home." Seto said.
"Wow, what are we celebrating tonight?" Yugi asked.
"It's my cousin, Yami's, birthday is today and a new gaming console was released." Seto explained. "Make sure to play something up-beat and smooth." Seto informed.
"Will do! If you let me know when the cake comes out, I will play my version of Happy Birthday." Yugi said.
"Alright." Seto sat back in his seat.
XX-XX-XX-XX
Seto got out of the limo first, people awed and stared. Some tried to greet him, he ignored him. He gently grabbed Yugi's hand, helping him out of the limo. "I'll take you to the piano." Seto said.
"Alright. Make sure to tell me if there are any steps." Yugi linked his arm around the others. "and bring me something to drink would be nice." Yugi said.
Seto guided Yugi into the building. They greeted a few people before Seto took him too the Piano. "Be careful, there is a step." He informed Yugi.
Yugi nodded as he stepped up. "Let me guess, I am on a platform this time?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, its a giant circle. I'll make sure to have one of my men near you." Seto brought him to the seat.
Yugi nodded, feeling the keys and petals. "Thank you Seto. Don't forget my drink and tell me when the cake comes out." Yugi smiled.
Yugi waited patiently till Seto greeted his guests and finished his speech. He knew the routine. So he stood waited and bowed as Seto introduced him. He sat back down and stretched his fingers. He began to push the keys. 'Fast Piano Solo' filled the room. He smiled as he heard awes from the guests. Seto began to talk with a few people, bring light chatter from his guests with the music. Yugi moved with the music, pressing the keys with such passion. He ended his first song and quickly began to play another. 'Merry-Go Round' filled the room, Yugi's smile got bigger as he heard steps near the dance floor. This is what Yugi loved.
XX-XX-XX-XX
Crimson eyes watched the man play the piano. God he was hypnotized. This man played so well. He loved the man's smile. It was so bright, filled with love.
"Enjoying the party Yami?" Seto asked as he walked towards him.
"I am, but please cousin. Tell me who the pianist is." Yami asked.
"His name is Yugi. If you showed up to any other party I invite you too, you would already know who he is." Seto smiled.
"I saw you escort him in." Yami asked, eyeing his cousin.
Seto chuckled. "he is just a dear friend. I escort him a lot. He is blind." Seto said.
"Oh, really?" Yami said, surprised. "How can he play?"
"Talk to him about it." Seto smiled as he walked away.
Yami glared at his cousin. He hated when he wanted to play games. Yami heard Yugi began to play 'Passacaglia' a duet piece. 'A duet needs two people. He needs partner.' Yami smiled, sat down his drink and walked to Yugi.
Yugi fell out of his trance when he felt the right side of the seat move. "A duet usually calls for two people" A deep baritone voice filled his ears. "You play on the first two low octaves."
Yugi played along, quickly moving his hands to the lower keys. Yami pressed the higher keys at the right time. They began to play too play togehter. Yugi smiled brightly. The stranger was spot on. The room filled with warm chords and intervals. Soon the song ended.
Yugi placed his hands onto his lap. "If I knew Seto was going to bring in another pianist, I would have left already" Yugi teased.
"I'm not. I know a little." Yami removed his hands. "I'm Seto's cousin."
"Ah. So you must be Yami." Yugi turned to him, holding out a hand. "Yugi, happy birthday." Yugi smiled at the man.
Yami shook it. "Thank you." Yami let go and stood. "You haven't taken a break yet. Would you like to come back to my table and have something to eat?"
Yugi blushed. "I would be a little troublesome. I am blind. I have no idea where anything is"
"It's alright. I'll escort you to my table and bring you something." Yami suggested, gently grabbing onto Yugi's arm.
"Thank you, that would be nice" Yugi linked his arm around the others. "Will you please let me know when the platform ends."
"Will do." Yami took his free hand and gently patted Yugi's arm.
XX-XX-XX-XX
Yami enjoyed Yugi's company. They talked about their jobs, shared a little about themselves before Yugi had to go back and play. Yami talked to some more guests. "You know Yami, that man is a user. I would stay away from him." A snotty girl informed Yami.
"Vivian, I enjoyed his company. He isn't that way." Yami said, defending Yugi. Yugi had told him about what people would say before he left Yami's table. He had apologised before hand. 'Poor Yugi. He knew someone would bring this up to me.' Yami thought.
"Oh Yami. Don't defend him!" Vivian ran her mouth. "He is a user. Always with Seto because of his money. I don't know why Seto puts up with it. Hell Seto is dating the users friend. I bet he is a moocher too."
Yami's hand tightened around his glass. he knew Jou very well too. "You know, you should bitch about people if you don't know them." Yami informed. "It only makes you ugly in the inside and out."
"Oh Yami, hush." Vivian slapped his arm playfully. "I know you are only teasing."
Before Yami let loose. Seto cleared his throat. "Yami, please step on the platform with Yugi. We have a surprise for you." Seto walked away with Yami by his side.
"Thank you." He mumbled.
"No problem. I saw you two talking. You are fond of him." Seto said.
"You have no idea" Yami smiled as he reached the platform, stepping next to the piano.
"Now what is this all about?" He looked between Seto and Yugi.
"Just shush, listen, and wait patiently." Yugi giggled. He set his hands on the keys and began to play a joyful, blues-type Happy Birthday. Yugi sang a few cords getting the guests going. Yami blushed at the attention, seeing a beautifully decorated giant cake roll out in front of him. The song ended and Yami blew out the candles. All cheered and clapped. As the chef started to cut the slices, Seto introduced Yugi once more, Yugi bowed as the crowd around Yami clapped.
A snarky voice cut in as the claps died down. "Please, Seto we know what you are doing." Vivian flapped her mouth. "Tonight is all about Yami not the crippled." A few of her friends agreed.
Yami looked at Yugi. Yugi;s face was blank. Yami could see Yugi holding back tears. Yami stepped down from the platform, walked to Vivian and backhanded her. "I know Seto wouldn't invite someone like you to my party, because I dislike you. In my eyes, you are trespassing at a private event. Who the hell do you think you are insulting my friend?"
Vivian help her stinging cheek, looking back at Yami. "How dare you place a hand on me! Do you know who I am!" She screeched.
"Yes, and I don't give a damn. Everyone here have always wanted to do that too you, and you deserve it." Yami walked back too Yugi. "Someone escort her and her friends out." Yami walked to Yugi, wrapped an arm around the mans shoulders and began to escort him somewhere private. "Hold it in a few more minutes Yugi, we will be in a private place in a moment, watch the platform step."
Yugi nodded, stepping down with Yami. "I-I'm sorry" He mumbled.
XX-XX-XX-XX
Yami sat Yugi down on a soft leather couch. They were in a small lounge at the back of the building. Yami placed his handkerchief in Yugi's hand and held him.
"You would think I would get used to the insults." Yugi said, wiping away tears.
"She was a bitch. I'm sorry she did that." Yami placed an arm around Yugi, holding him close. "She said some rude things before that little fiasco."
"It's alright. I am used to it, I don't know why it got to me this time. I just...love to play and I don't want people to see me for my disability, but my ability to play." Yugi explained.
"Well I think you play beautifully. I can tell you love music." Yami smiled. "Are you feeling any better"
Yugi nodded. "Yes, thank you Yami."
"No problem." Yami removed his arm. "Lets make up for tonight. May i take you out tomorrow? I'll pick you up from the Domino Elementary." Yami asked.
"I...I would really like that Yami." Yugi smiled.
