/Thoughts/

Yugi plopped down on his bed in his new dorm room. He could not believe that he had finally made it to college. He sighed as he looked around the room. The dorm rooms at this school were different than most other schools. They were more like small apartments with two or four bedrooms (depending on if you wanted to pay more for your own room), two bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. The dorm was shared amongst four students. The walls were tan and the carpet was made of cheap blue material. They had to have purchased the ugly thing for the durability instead of its appearance. Yugi had opted to pay a little bit more for his own room. In each room, the school had provided a light wood desk that matched the wood of the bed frame in addition to a matching dresser.

Yugi had large violet eyes that sparkled like gems and tri-colored hair that was black with violet tips. His hair stood up in spikes all over his head. His cherubic face was framed with blonde bangs. He ran his fingers through his long bangs as he sat up and jumped off the bed. He pulled one of his suitcases up and placed it where he had been laying. He unzipped the black luggage with one fluid motion opening it to reveal his clothes, pajamas, socks, and underwear. Each item of clothing was pulled out of the suitcase and either hung up in the closet or placed neatly in the dresser. He smiled as he emptied the clothes locating his stuffed Kuriboh at the bottom. He placed the little furry creature on the desk; a temporary place until his bed was made.

After a few hours, Yugi's room was finished. His posters of the Dark Magician and the Dark Magician Girl were hanging in the room, his laptop was on his desk, his clothes were put away, and his bed was made complete with stuffed Kuriboh. He wiped the sweat off of his brow as he smiled proudly at his new living space for the next year of school.

He went to the room right next to his and leaned up against the door frame staring in at the blonde who was half asleep on the bare mattress, "Do you plan on unpacking at some point this semester or is that something you plan on doing over holiday?"

The blonde cracked a honey colored eye open and threw a shoe gently at his friend, "Shuddup Yug! I'll get to it!" Yugi chuckled and easily dodged the shoe.

Joey got up from his bed and walked towards his little friend, "So how far are you wit your unpackin?" he asked as he stepped into Yugi's room, "What?! You're already done!"

Yugi chuckled again, "Do you want some help with your room, Joey?" The blonde nodded, "Okay! Let's get to it!" Yugi pulled Joey back to his room. The duo working diligently on setting up Joey's room before dusk. When the room was completely set up, they decided to finish the day off with a relaxing duel monsters game.

Yugi set his bag down on the floor next to him in his first class of the semester History of Ancient Egypt. He always found Egypt fascinating. His violet orbs etched the walls as he slowly pulled his book and his tablet out of his bag. The decor on the walls consisted of many pictures such as the Sphinx and The Great Pyramids in addition to maps of Egypt throughout history and as it is in the present. Yugi's smile grew larger and larger as he drank in his surroundings.

Heavy footsteps of someone wearing boots interrupted his thoughts as they walked from the back of the class to the front. The figure passed Yugi leaving behind the smell of sandalwood and other various spices. The scent was intoxicating. Yugi closed his eyes and breathed it in deeply; his nose trying desperately to hang onto the remaining scent left by the mysterious individual. As he slowly opened his eyes he saw the figure standing in front of the room his back facing the class as he wrote his name on the board in delicate script. The figure was dressed in tight black slacks and a silk black button up shirt. The name on the board read, "Yami". The slim muscular figure turned to face the class.

Yugi gasped as he took in the professor's appearance. /He looks almost exactly like me!/ The man had deep crimson eyes and black spiky hair that had crimson tips to match his eyes. His face was also framed with a few blonde strands in addition to the blonde strands that stood up around his head resembling lightning bolts.

"Good morning class. I hope you had a wonderful summer. Welcome back to the continuing students and welcome to the new students. Let us suspend the formalities of calling me by my last name," the figure picked up a stack of papers from his briefcase resting on his desk, "please just call me Yami." He stopped in front of the row of students furthest to the left and handed a pile of papers to the girl in the front. She for some reason was shaking as she took the papers and muttered a thank you.

"I am your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." A smirk crept across his face as he handed out a stack of papers to each row of students, "If that was not the class you were intending to take," he pointed to the door, "there is the door, I hope you have a wonderful semester."

As each student received the paper packet they realized it was the syllabus. A deep laugh erupted from the depths of the professor's throat, "And if you are not able to take a joke, this is not the class for you. For those of you wondering, if you have lost your mind; rest assure, you have not. You are in fact in the correct class if you are taking History of Ancient Egypt. I have been teaching this class for five years. There is a lot of work in this class, but trust me, it's worth it."

Yami cleared his throat as he picked up an extra syllabus and leaned up against one of the student's desks in the front row, "Please look at the syllabus. The first page will give you a description of the course information. We will be meeting in this room Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 8 am through 9:30 pm unless otherwise informed. The required text book is listed here and you will need it by next class session on Wednesday. There will be weekly readings, two short quizzes throughout the semester, a midterm, a final, and a research paper. On the back page, you will see a breakdown of what reading assignments are due and when, as well as the date of each test review and test"

Some of the class stared at Yami; preferring to listen to his voice than read the syllabus, others nodded as they flipped through the syllabus following along. Yugi looked back and forth between the two. /Oh Ra, he wasn't kidding there is a lot of work in this class. At least it is a topic I love./

"Please take a few moments to gather contact information from your surrounding peers. With the workload and difficulty of the tests, I highly recommend forming study groups." Yami said as he placed the left over syllabi into his bag.

Yugi felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see another petite boy. The boy had icy cold blue eyes and spiky dark brown hair.

"Hey there. I'm Dominick. I am a second year at this school. Want to be study buddies?" the petite youth asked with a small shy smile.

"Sure," Yugi responded as he jotted down his phone number and his email on a piece of paper for the boy. In return, Dominick scribbled his information onto a piece of paper and handed it to Yugi.

"Want to meet up after class for coffee and to figure out a study plan?" Dominick asked.

"Sure that sounds great. I'm new here so do you know where the coffee hut is?"

Dominick nodded.

"Okay, class! That should be enough time for you to have obtained contacts from one or two your classmates. Now I would like to get to know each of you. We will start with you," he pointed to the girl in the front on the left side of the class, "Please provide your name, major, and something interesting about yourself."

The girl gulped as she ran her fingers nervously through her blonde hair, "Um…hello. I'm Sasha. I am a General Studies major, and…" she pondered for a moment, "I am a contortionist." There were many gasps heard around the room.

Yami raised an eyebrow, "That is interesting. Perhaps one day you will give us a demonstration." The girl nodded shyly. One by one, the class answered his three questions until it came to Yugi. Yami's crimson eyes met Yugi's violet eyes. Yugi could feel Yami's eyes burning into him. He shifted slightly uncomfortable in his seat.

"Hello, my name is Yugi. I am an Archaeology Major, and something interesting about me is that I love playing duel monsters and The Dark Magician is my favorite." Yugi smiled.

"Interesting. The Dark Magician is my favorite as well. How come you decided on archaeology?" Yami asked.

"My grandpa is an archaeologist and he took me with him to some of the sites. My favorites where the Egyptian sites. That really got me interested in going into the archaeology field."

Yami nodded and smiled, "Good to know."

The class continued on with Dominick, "Hi, I'm Dominick, I'm a Sociology Major, and I think Egypt is neat so I am here!"

Yami nodded slowly before indicating to the boy behind Dominick to continue. Once each student had answered all three questions Yami had asked he stood up from behind the desk and walked to the center of the room, "As this is the first day, I will go easy on you and end the class now." Yami smiled.

The class excitedly began collecting their bags, "Wait," Yami held up a hand, "your homework is to get the book if you do not have it already, read chapters one and two before Wednesday. Lastly, I want you to answer questions 2, 4, 6, and 8 in the back of both chapters. Please type your answers and turn them into me on Wednesday." The class groaned.

"Oh I know, I know. I'm such a cruel heartless professor. I understand that you do have other classes. This is one of the heaviest homework weeks of the semester. The rest of the workload is a little bit more spread out. Now get out of here!" Yami winked. The class quickly scrambled out of the room and parted ways at the door.

Dominick waited for Yugi outside the classroom. Yugi took one last glance at the professor who was placing papers into his briefcase.

"Thank you, Yami. See you on Wednesday." Yugi smiled and waved at his doppelganger professor.

"My pleasure, Yugi. I will see you on Wednesday as well. Have a great rest of your day." Yami replied.

Yugi and Dominick sat at a table in the campus courtyard sipping their coffee. The campus courtyard was primarily grass and trees with a few stone paths and a fountain in the center.

"This is so peaceful," Yugi admired the courtyard.

Dominick nodded, "Yup. This school has some pretty amazing sites." He answered not taking his eyes off of Yugi.

Yugi's eyes landed on Dominick and noticed the foam mustache left behind on Dominick's upper lip, he giggled as he pointed at the other petite boy. Dominick grinned back at Yugi, locking the youth in his gaze as he slowly ran his tongue across his upper lip clearing the foam. He smacked his lips together and winked. A bright blush formed on Yugi's cheeks.

"So how about that professor? Holy crap is he sexy." Dominick said leaning back and stretching his arms.

Yugi nodded as he watched the bottom of Dominick's shirt creep up exposing his lower abdomen and stopping just above his navel. The tri-colored teen bit his lip and took a sip of his coffee quickly hiding the growing blush on his cheeks. Dominick's smirked predatorily, and little Yugi was his prey.

"However, he is nowhere near as cute as you are, Yugi" the boy leaned forward over the table and nipped ad Yugi's neck. Yugi let out a startled squeak, "I have to get going to my next class. I will call you later and we can meet up to do the two chapters and questions either later tonight or tomorrow for Yami's class." Yugi nodded slowly still gasping.

"See ya cutie" Dominick winked and blew a kiss at Yugi.

Later after his classes were finished, Yugi happily opened the door to the dorm he shared with Joey, Duke, and Tristen.

"Hey Joey, guess what?!" Yugi exclaimed excited running over to Joey's room.

"Joey's still in class I think. What's got your boxers in a bundle, Yugi?" Duke asked as he stirred a glass of ice tea with his straw. Duke had large emerald green eyes and long black hair that he kept in a ponytail with a few loose strands that framed his face.

"I think I met a guy!" Yugi squeaked in excitement.

"I'm sure you did, this campus has a lot of them. You were bound to run into one eventually." Duke grinned.

"Ha," Yugi sighed at the dice king's sarcasm, "I mean I think I met a guy that really likes me! He was so cute and charming!"

Duke smiled at his little friend, "So tell me about him!"

Yugi sighed with happiness like a love sick princess, "His name is Dominick."

Duke burrowed his eyebrows in thought, "I've heard that name before…hmm..Dominick, Dominick…What does he look like?"

"He has blue eyes and spiky dark brown hair."

Duke's eyes grew wide, "Is he short?"

Yugi tilted his head to the side confused, "Yes. He is. He's a little bit taller than me. Why?"

"I don't know about this guy, Yugi. I've heard some rumors about him." Duke replied shaking his head.

"What rumors?" Yugi sat on the living room couch next to Duke.

"I heard from some people that he is manipulative and can be abusive." I don't think you should see him, Yugi." Duke continued to shake his head at the petite youth.

"But he's my study partner in one of my classes and I don't think it's the same Dominick that you heard about. He was so charming, sexy, and sweet." Yugi began talking fast defending his first new friend and possible future boyfriend.

"How many petite men named Dominick go to this school?" Duke asked

Yugi shrugged, "I just don't think it's him."

"Okay, little guy," Duke gave Yugi a little hug, "Just be careful. If you ever need help let us know. None of us want to see you get hurt."

Yugi nodded before disappearing into his room and closing the door. That conversation had not gone the way he thought it would. Yugi lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling thinking about Dominick's beautiful blue eyes, /It could not be the same guy. This guy was so cute and sweet./ He signed lost deep in his own thoughts, /I know it's not the same guy./ Yugi thought while tracing imaginary lines on the ceiling.
