1. Truth or dare


"Alright," Atemu said solemnly, "I will do it."

Honda and Ryo paled. Jounouchi was entirely smug, although if anyone squinted, they could see there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Anzu and especially Yuugi looked like a hairbreadth away from murdering the blond.

Atemu took the house phone from the blond's hand, dialed and turned on speaker mode. They all waited.

Someone answered within the first ring, "Kaiba Seto."

"I love you." Atemu stated loud and clear.

There was an ominous pause. And Kaiba hung up.

"… Is that it?" Honda said aloud in wonder.

Atemu looked at the phone in his hand, and dearly hoped so. "Aibou, Truth or Dare?" He locked eyes with Yuugi.

"Dare."

They all heard the front door opened, and grandpa's unfinished greeting.

"Slug Jounouchi-kun for me. In his face."

Jounouchi stuttered and back away from the advancing Yuugi.

"It's just a dare, Jounouchi-kun." Yuugi emphasized, cracking his knuckles and everyone but Atemu wondered when the hell he learnt to grin like a certain Thief King.

Footsteps approached the living room.

WHAM!

BANG!

The first noise was Jounouchi caught Yuugi's fist with his left eye, his head was forced backward from the blow. The second noise was his skull got smacked from behind because someone opened the door with more force than he should.

Piercing blue eyes zeroed in their target, Kaiba marched toward the only Egyptian in the room and wordlessly threw Atemu on his shoulder. Then he turned and walked out, passing the livid Yuugi with his Seto™ victorious smirk.

"Jounouchi-kun," Yuugi gritted through his teeth, "If Atemu walks through the front door next time without his virtue, I will make sure you regret today for the rest of your life."
