All week long, Domino High had been in an uproar after hearing about the new student coming from Egypt. With the excitement came the rumors though about the boy being an ugly and rugged rebel hooked on illegal substances, alcohol, and sex. There were even rumors that the new student was in an Egyptian gang of some sort or even more off the wall accusations that he was somehow already a part of the Yakaza gang or a Egyptian-Japanese prostitute.
It all made one Yugi Moto sick to his stomach, but because like the majority of the student body he believed what was being said about the new student. It was because of all the hate or the lust rotating around the Egyptian teen. If girls and guys weren't already practically salivating at the thought of screwing him, then they were threatening to kick his ass for his activities in Egypt or because of the rest who wanted to screw him.
Just because the other student's imaginations were quite active didn't mean that what they said were true and furthermore even if they were, it was no business of theirs. Everyone made mistakes, some bigger than others, but they were human and thus were prone to make mistakes at least sometimes. It was hypocritical to point fingers, threaten, or judge someone for what they've done when the accuser had probably done that or worse themselves. The rumors were probably made worse merely because of just who the student's family was.
Aknamkanon Sennen, CEO of Sennen Corporation, a gaming and electronics company right up there with Kaiba Corp and Industrial Illusions. Then there was Amara Sennen, the boy's mother and a well known novelist of historical fiction, Atemu often a character in her books, but as a great Pharaoh along side his unlikely love, a boy ironically named Yugi from Japan. Needless to say, Yugi got a kick out of that when he read that first book and it still brought a smile to his face every time he thought about it. He had often suspected that's why his mother gave him the name she did as she too had been a fan of the books since before he was born.
Not that he was complaining, the character in the books was kind, selfless, loyal, protective, but many times got himself into trouble from trying to do everything on his own and ended many times in arguments between Atemu and Yugi. In the latest book though he had reluctantly agreed to work alongside his now husband, the Pharaoh instead of trying to keep the stubborn monarch off the battlefield. He giggled when remembering that the Yugi character had jokingly complained of having no more make up sex.
Oh geez...he was doing it again, wandering off topic even in his own thoughts.
Anyway, Atemu Sennen was probably recieving a lot of the hate just because of his famous family, making him a public icon as well whether he wanted to be or not. But if he managed to see the new guy before anyone else when he started school tomorrow, he'd be sure to warn him of the threats some people were making against him.
Yugi, nodded his head at that, blonde bangs slightly falling into the path of his violet eyes and looked at his clock, noticing the time said three in the morning. He decided now would be a good time to get some sleep. Time to get up for school was coming quickly and he'd need all the rest he could get for the approaching day. Chono-sensei didn't exactly go easy on them.
Atemu angrily threw his carry on bag onto the bed he would be using in the room he had been given. As if his old man's continuous questions weren't bad enough making his hope for a short nap before they got to the house wasn't bad enough, he had been patted down like a common criminal upon entering the house! Then gramps and the ole man starts lecturing him about right and wrong and why he had been on the wrong path, how he better be straightening up while he was there, that they'd be monitoring everything he did, etc.
"I'd probably have more freedom in a fucking prison!" he groused as he gave a good kick to another bag that happened to be sitting in his way.
"Atemu, you better settle down and get some sleep. You're going to school tomorrow!" his grandfather called from downstairs.
"Fuck off old man!" he shouted back.
Honestly, school already?
What would be the point?
He'd probably be in the infirmary part of the school all day when the symptoms of withdraws started, on a concrete hard bed, smelling chemicals and being in the room with... Narcotics! Actually maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all, he could get relief and a fix at the same time. He grinned to himself at that, thinking he bested his guardians on this one and with a lighter mood, moved his carry on from the bed and plopped himself down onto the soft surface after turning down the blanket and sheet.
Unknown to him, Siamun and Aknamkanon had already thought about that little detail and made sure that the teachers and nurse knew not to allow him into that part of the school. If he did start having withdraws and it got too bad to stay in school then the faculty would call one of them at home or work then they would come pick him up to wait it out at home. All too soon, Atemu would find that out though and both elder Sennen's were anticipating a call full of angry explectives the next day.
"You should probably call Amara and Seto before you go to bed son. Let them know that he got here alright," Siamun suggested to Aknamkanon before heading to bed himself.
Atemu rubbed his pounding head as he walked towards the school with a wince. What a way to start the morning, his father coming in to wake him up for school and as soon as he started coming out of his dreamless sleep, the stabbing pain in his head started. He tried to ask and to reason with his dad to let him just stay home and sleep it off. But the man was having none of it, even going as far as sternly reminding him he'd done it to himself before telling him sternly to get up and get ready to go.
He'd only gotten three hours of sleep! He'd fallen asleep at three-twenty in the morning and was woken up at six-thirty, okay fine three hours and ten minutes. But still that wasn't enough! He would be in pain and drowsy all day now. Gods help whoever tried talking to him today, he was more likely to bite their head off than look at them.
He still had the idea of going to the nurse though for some narcotics so maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but again he was going to be watched like a hawk even at school. He'd have to be careful about it, but if done right he'd be feeling very, very good in no time at all and if he was very careful maybe he could assauge his other need too. It was just like everything else, all about timing things right.
He smirked to himself as he walked into the school and pulled out the school map he'd been given, bit before he could a shadow fell over him and he looked up to see his cousin standing there.
Great.
" 教室がどこにある私はあなたを紹介します。いい加減にして"
What?
Atemu blinked, not understanding a word that his cousin said and Seto, noticing that the Egyptian teen wasn't following narrowed his eyes, but then remembering that he didn't understand Japanese said the same thing again in Egyptian.
"I'll show you where the classroom is. Come on."
Atemu sighed at that and reluctantly began to follow his cousin through the school. He'd preferred not understanding him, one thing hadn't changed since the last time he'd seen him. He was still ordering people about and so arrogant he expected everyone to obey him. Of course Atemu wasn't helping this by doing as he said right now, but he'd rather follow Seto than be dodging people in the hallways as he had his nose glued in a school map with instructions he couldn't read. Besides people were staring again and starting to piss him off with their snickers and giggles at his expense and he was about to let hell break loose. They may not understand a thing he said, but he was sure that they would get the general idea.
By the grace of every god he knew however, he was able to make it to class and slide into a desk that Seto indicated, but begrudgingly. Going by the amount of whispering that had been going on in the halls as people stared at him there had been some rumors going around about him already and being escorted to class would probably just make it worse. Then people would start pestering him and with his coming moodswings that wouldn't be pretty. He was possibly looking at his whole time in this stupid school being a part of detention every day. More time in hard plastic seats, in pain, more lectures at home.
"Fuck my life.." he complained softly, not realizing he'd caught someone's attention with those simple words.
Yugi yawned hugely as he walked to the school, eyes still half lidded as he wasn't quite awake yet. Usually he would get his full eight hours of sleep, but his thoughts had kept him awake far beyond the time when he would usually be asleep and six o'clock came quickly. He'd gone about his morning routine as he usually would, getting up, getting a shower, getting dressed, opening up the shop until grandpa came down at six-thirty. From there he made a quick breakfast for his mom and grandpa then grabbed his lunch and ran out the door, his grandfather's amused call of "slow down" behind him.
It was like this every morning, well apart from running late because he was so drowsy anyway, but he had to rush today otherwise he'd never hear the end of it from Chono-sensei if he was late to class. Classes started at exactly seven-thirty and sensei made sure to arrive ten minutes ahead of time, he'd be cutting it close today, it was already seven-ten. He had to worry about avoiding bullies and effectively dodging people in the hallways too if he was going to make it if other teachers didn't see and get onto him for running in the halls that is.
He hit the entrance of the school gates at full tilt, thankfully going too fast to be noticed by the usual bullies this time who were waiting in the courtyard of the school as usual so he got inside with no consequence, but dodging other students wasn't as easy. He nearly ran into people several times who suddenly stopped in the middle of the hallway or turned around to go the other way at the last minute. Thankfully though the few times he had been running late had made him practiced in avoiding collisions like that and he quickly jumped to the side to continue on, apologizing as he went for the few times he did actually bump into someone no matter how slight the touch had been.
Thankfully he finally got into the classroom and raced to his seat, panting and checked his watch, seven-fifteen, good he made it with five minutes to spare. He didn't yet notice the male behind him as he began getting his books and notebook out for the lesson, but did when he heard "fuck my life" in a soft grumble, but while the sentence wasn't a surprising one in this classroom, the language it was in, was. Egyptian. Then...the new student?
Yugi finished getting his things out, laying a pen on a fresh piece of paper then...almost turned around. What was wrong with him? He'd told himself the previous night that he would warn him when he saw him so what was holding him back?
"Hey kid.."
Seriously what was with him? Someone needed to warn him, if he hadn't already figured it out on his own that is.
"Uh...oi!"
Huh?
Feeling a tap on his shoulder, Yugi suddenly forgot his nerves and turned towards the one who had done it, his violet gaze meeting scarlet, both of them seemingly surprised by the unexpected eye contact or perhaps the unique iris color. Yugi was the first to look away though.
"Hai?" Oh wait, Atemu was Egyptian and had first spoken to him in said language, he'd seemed to awkwardly try Japanese too and going by the confused look on Atemu's face when Yugi peeked up at him again, he hadn't understood what Yugi had just said.
"Oh, sorry. I said "yes?"," he corrected himself, giving a shy smile when the other boy seemed surprised before an answering smirk curved up one side of his lips.
"You understand Egyptian?"
Yugi nodded with a growing smile, seeing Atemu's own grow as well.
AC: I think that's a good stopping point for now. Well you know what to do readers, comment and vote if you liked it. Please remember to comment, please that helps me out with getting the next chappie up. Also a million apologies for the delay in uploading guys. I actually wrote the chapter in February, but for some reason, Fanfiction (.net) wasn't letting me upload it. Anyway, I hope you like it. Please remember to review. :)
Disclaimer: Yugioh isn't mine, neither is Aknamkanon, Siamun, Atemu, Yugi, Solomon, Seto or any other characters that may make an appearance. The only thing I own is half of this plot as well as Amara and Yugi's mom's name (Miyuki). Only half of this fiction is mine because this story is based largely around an rp myself and my beloved sis mun have done. Just with a few small tweaks here and there. :)
