"Hey, Grandpa?" Yugi called. "Can you call the gang over? I have something I need to tell them."
Grandpa gave him a raised eyebrow but did as he was asked.
"So, how are we going to do this?" Atem asked Yugi. "Do we just tell them?" Yugi just nodded. Atem noticed that he was starting to shake slightly and his enormous eyes were starting to water up.
"Don't be afraid, Aibou." Yami put an arm around his shoulder. "They'll understand."
In less than half an hour everyone had shown up. Yugi had them all sit in his room with grandpa. "You ready?" He asked Atem shakily. They were standing outside of his room while they gathered their bearings. Atem gave him his determined smile he wore when they dueled and opened the door.
"Hey, guys. Thanks for coming over." Yugi said as they walked in hand in hand. "There's something that Atem and I have been wanting to tell you for a while and it's high time you found out."
He nodded to Yami who began a seemingly pre-prepared speech. "Yugi and I have been friends with you for a long time and Grandpa, you may as well be my own grandfather. So I feel that we can be completely honest with you about anyth-" He was interupted by Yugi.
"I can't do this. It's too formal." He shook his head. "I'll be frank. We're gay."
There was a brief silence. Brief, of course, meaning about 2 seconds. "Ha! You owe me 10 bucks, Tristan!" Joey said holding his hand out.
"You? You knew?" The former pharaoh asked, baffled.
"Man, we've always known. I've had a bet with Tristan for about a year that Yugi would be the one to say it." Joey smirked.
"Same here. I just wanted to let you guys come out in your own time." Tea said comfortingly.
"You guys are VERY obvious." Grandpa said with a wink.
"You guys have no idea how glad this makes me! Thank you!" Yugi said with a wide smile.
And, like a domino, Joey decided that he should come out too.
