Yami Finds a Tube Sock
He was a genius. Not just the normal type of genius- oh no- a true prodigal type of genius. He was such a genius that it was beginning to leak out of his ear in the form of excess shower water. That's right, the great Pharaoh Atemu had taken a shower. This wouldn't have been particularly impressive under normal circumstances, but when you take into account that all the times previous he'd attacked the shower head believing it to be an enchanted snake, this was a vast improvement.
Despite his normally regal demeanor, he couldn't help but grin, pleased with himself. Yami walked around the room he shared with his light, Yugi, deciding by himself what he would wear for the day. Not like he didn't understand how to dress himself or that wearing clothes was very much needed in the present society. It was more his inherent inability to dress appropriately when he was going outside. For instance: dressing in short-shorts and a skintight tank top in the middle of winter. Or deciding upon a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that had one too many rips to be acceptable school attire. But now he could do anything. After all, he only went to school 6 days out of the week and not for the full year. Therefore he had plenty of time to wear all of those other, more comfortable, clothes.
Today's outfit of choice fell upon the blue pants of his school uniform, a nearly transparent white button up, and the traditional black buckle around his neck. He would put on a jacket later to at least give the appearance of conforming while at school. He didn't bother checking his appearance in the mirror figuring that if there were anything wrong at all with how he looked his aibou would tell him.
Satisfied and ready for school, he was about to leave their room when Yugi shouted at him from downstairs.
"Yami!"
Said dark popped his head over the railing of the stairs to look at his light. "Yes, aibou?"
"Could you get me a spare pair of boxers?"
"Why ever would you need them?"
"Umm.. They're not for me, they're for Jounnochi-kun!"
Yami blinked twice, silently asking why.
"He got his boxers dumped in meat again," Yugi answered trying to hold back his laughter. Yami smirked down at him before turning back and heading for their room. He could vaguely hear his light shouting something about the second to last drawer and took that as a good place to start. Sure, they lived in the same room, but that didn't mean they knew everything about each other. Especially when you consider the dark's recently overcome fear of all forms of underwear. He too now wore boxers, but only because he'd been warned of the dangers of thongs by his precious light.
He popped open said 'second to last drawer' and peered inside. It was easy enough to find a spare pair of boxers for Jo. There appeared to be a whole section of food-patterned boxers just for him. It was safe to say that his boxers were often under fire of a certain mean-spirited prankster.
Just as Yami was pulling out a pair bedecked with hot dogs when his hand met with something he'd never seen before. It was a long rather skinny piece of fabric striped with the boldest colors of the rainbow. His hand made a detour in heading for the much-needed undergarment in favor of his discovery. He pulled out the fabric wondering what article of clothing it could be. It looked so tubular and stretchy to the pharaoh. Just where could this cylindrical, striped, half a ruler length cloth go?
The pharaoh is by no means stupid and actually prided himself on being a brilliant strategist and problem solver. Few would dare to refute this statement, fully understanding that whether or not he really was the most intelligent in a situation, he could still banish them to the shadow realm for all eternity. It was now that the pharaoh would need use of these skills. The problem solving ability, that is. What reason would he have to summon up his powers over an item of clothing?
He 'hmmed' to himself in deep thought over the purpose of the stripped material. 'Could it be a rod covering?', he asked himself. No, it couldn't be for rods were generally much to long to be covered by something so short. 'A type of glove?' No, not a glove, for his light had just taught him about those a few weeks prior and it most definitely wasn't built for a hand.
He stared hard down at the fabric, almost glaring in his frustration. What could it possibly be? He was nearly out of ideas. He glanced over at the alarm clock that sat on a table between their beds. If he waited much longer he'd be late for school and after spending an afternoon cleaning a classroom that he'd played no part in messing up, he very much did not want to be late again. He shrugged his slim graceful shoulders as any confused pharaoh would and grabbed Jo's spares giving up on figuring out the tube cloth for the time being.
He was in the process of shutting Yugi's underwear drawer when it hit him. "By Ra, that's it!", he exclaimed, though not loudly enough for anyone else to hear him. His hand dove back into the drawer and pulled out the object of his ponderings and he held it triumphantly in the air. 'Finally something I can be comfortable in.' He dashed into the bathroom with the cloth, grinning all the way.
A little less than five minutes later, he'd joined his light at the bottom of the stairs, boxers in hand, and they were off to school.

It wasn't until gym period that day that anyone discovered what Yami had done in the bathroom with the tubular piece of fabric. Emphasis on tubular.
Yami was in the process of changing into his gym clothes when he heard snickering from behind him. A group of the jockier kids were bursting with giggles over something about the spiky haired pharaoh. He shrugged to himself figuring it was nothing of importance. Besides, if they became too annoying he could sic one of his monsters on them. Ah, it was good to be pharaoh.
However this wasn't enough to relieve him of all anxiety when another group of males began to laugh and point at him. His brows furrowed in confusion as he pulled on his gym shirt. He'd yet to pull on his gym shorts. It wasn't until Yugi walked in along with Ryou that he finally understood what the laughter was about.
"Yami, what the hell?" Yugi's eyes were impossibly wide with shock and his voice cracked in surprise. His dark merely furrowed his brows more in response. Ryou meanwhile was nearly busting a gut from laughing so hard which only seemed to give permission to all others present to join in the hilarity.
Yugi blushed slightly on Yami's behalf and because... well... "Yami, do you know what you're wearing?", he asked, speaking very slowly.
Yami shook his head, meaning no, suddenly feeling a blush coming on. "Yami... Why are you wearing a tube sock on your...ahem..." The tiny boy trailed of looking completely flushed both in shocked embarrassment and in mirth. His dark looked down at the 'tube sock', as it had been called, and frowned. He then looked back up at his light. Then back down to the sock. Then to his light. Then to what rhymes with sock.
On this last head tilt downwards he began to turn completely red which isn't easy considering how much darker he was compared to his light. It seemed that the knowledge of his indiscretion had finally set in and to say he was embarrassed is an understatement. He tried his best to tug at the bottom of his gym shirt to cover himself, still not looking up.
Laughter reigned throughout the locker room as they continued to gawk at the once mighty pharaoh who was now trying his best to disappear. Maybe his shadow magic wasn't so useful after all.
Yami's head snapped up when he heard a distinctive giggle near his side. His little light had finally fallen victim to the hilarity of the situation and was doing his cute giggle where he tried to hide behind his hand. His rounded cheeks were flushed in amusement and he almost seemed to sparkle in the dull locker room light. Looking into his lights cheerful face he felt his embarrassment slip away. He began to chuckle with the rest of his classmates silently vowing to send all of them and the tube sock to the shadow realm.
Maybe shadow magic was the best invention known to man.
15 minutes later...
Ryou finally stopped laughing and had finished getting dressed for class. He was now quite late for gym as were the pharaoh and his light. The white haired boy went up to Yugi and placed a hand on his shoulder, still smiling.
"Is Yami done changing yet?"
Yugi shrugged. "I think he's trying to send the sock to the shadow realm. I sure as heck don't want it back."
Ryou smirked. "Yeah, well, at least this wasn't as bad as the time Bakura thought that plus sized bras were meant to cover his ass. Wasn't as funny as that time either..." He chuckled at the memory.
It was silent for a time, only Yami's grunts and muttered Egyptian curses breaking the stillness.
"Wait just one minute!", Yugi exclaimed. "How did Bakura get his hands on a bra! You're mom's dead!"
Ryou stared at him for all of two seconds before he took of towards the gym door. Indeed.
