Do you believe in fate?
Well yes, Atem did believe in fate, in his eyes everything happened because of a reason and it was better to not question things.
So he didn't disobey the gut feeling that indicated him to go into that bar.
He took a sit at the bar and studied the menu, nothing looked familiar.
And then he saw him.
The young barman catched his attention with a friendly greeting.
"Good night, Do you know what you want to drink?" the young man's voice instantly made him smile.
"Good night" responded Atem, changing position too look directly at the barman "Truth is I don't know any of the drinks in the menu, is there one you could recommend me?"
Atem smiled more when he saw a little blush paint the barman's cheeks.
"Well, actually, I don't drink" a nervous chuckle scaled his lips and Atem felt butterflies in his stomach "But I could recommend you some, of course, it depends on what you like" the barman seated one of his blonde locks behind his ear and dear Ra, that young barman was so cute Atem could feel himself melting.
"I like sweet stuff" he said admiring the sweet presence of the young barman, he smiled hoping he would understand the hidden message.
"We have some sweet drinks" Atem heard him talk but didn't paid attention to what his sweet voice said "Is there one that catches your attention?"
Atem faked to read the menu before speaking again.
"Surprise me" and so. The barman started working, Atem concentrated and every and each movement the young man did.
"Here it is" announced the young man while serving a beverage of a soft yellow color.
Atem drank a bit and his eyes opened in shock; the beverage was sweet in fact but he could also taste pineapple in the mix, before he took notice he had drank half of it.
"Incredible, this is really good, you're really good" he said and his cheeks turned a bit pinker.
"It's, it's not big deal" a chuckle scaled his pretty lips and again seated his blonde lock being his ear.
"Please, don't be so modest, you're talented, what's your name?" he asked finishing the beverage.
"I'm Yugi, mm, Yugi Muto" he started cleaning the bar "and you? What's your name?"
"My name's Atem, nice too meet you" he extended his hand and Yugi gave it a shy handshake.
"Nice to meet you too" Atem was grateful he was seated because he had might as well melted right there and then "Would you like another round? Something more I could offer you?"
Then Atem remembered the sad reality of work, he sighed and let Yugi's warm hand go.
"Unfortunately not tonight, I've got work tomorrow morning" the mere idea of having to say Yugi goodbye was annoying.
"In that case I'll bring the bill"
"Yes, thank you very much" he responded and forced himself to smile again.
Yugi left him alone for a moment and Atem used the opportunity to write his name and phone number on a piece of paper; when Yugi gave him the bill Atem put the paper with the money and gave it back.
"Until next time Yugi" he let without waiting for a response and took a taxi to his hotel.
He had just arrived to his room, when he received a message.
From: ?
Hi I'm Yugi, the barman from "Rainbow quartz" I would like to go out with you, when are you free?
Waves of happiness ran down his body and barely managed to yell "Yes" out loud. Then he responded.
For: Yugi
Hi Yugi, I'm happy to see you messaged me, and if it's about a date I'm free all Sunday, if you're still interested.
Then he send an emoji winking.
While he waited for a response he changed and got ready to go to sleep.
His phone rang again.
From: Yugi
Great! Have you visitedKaibaland? We could meet at the entrance at midday, if you're OK with that.He answered immediately.
For: Yugi

From: Yugi
