Ch. 3
Hotel Hobbies
(Yami's P.O.V.)
So now I'm sitting here, on a couch, in the hotel room. I've had my headphones plugged into my laptop, listening to music while I play Zuma. Duke is running around like a chicken with his head cut off. So it doesn't really suprise me when he jumps out of his chair and takes off running out of the room. What does suprise me, however, is Duke yanking one of my ear buds out and yelling "We have company!" in my ear.
I look over at him glaring for interrupting my music and game when I notice who our company is. So I pause my game and music, and shut my laptop, taking out the other ear bud so I can hear everyone.
"Duke, just so you know, if you ever do something like that again, I will kill you..." I tell Duke.
"You've threatened to kill me a lot Yami" he laughs as he walks back over to his chair.
"All the more reason for today to be your lucky day" I smirk.
"Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't kill me, you'd be lonely" Duke smirks back.
"Oh, if only you knew, Duke..." I smile. "So, what are you guys doing here?" I ask the group that has now taken seats around the living room.
"Yami, thats rude" Duke scolds me.
"How is that rude?" I ask, completely confused.
"You don't ask what our friends are doing here" he looks at me as if I just shot someone.
"Oh, so saying 'what the fuck do you guys want' is better?" I counter with a smirk.
"I'm going to slap that smirk off your face" he said, his frown set so deep that it may be permanent.
I chuckle at the look on his face. Duke will never get old. He's right, I couldn't kill him, I'd miss him to much. Not to mention that he's my best friend.
"What can we help you guys with?" Duke asks them. I turn to him with a blank look on my face the slightest hint of a grin on my face. "What?!" he shouts at me.
I busted out laughing. "And you say I'm rude? Maybe they don't need help. Maybe they just want to come hang out. And shouldn't you be off making our guests some snacks or something?"
"Oh! Good idea!" He yells jumping up from his chair.
"Yeah, we have no snacks" I chuckle to them. "I just wanted to make him get up."
They all started laughing at that. Duke comes back around the corner. I look over at him and start chuckling "If looks could kill, I'd be dead" I tell him through my hysterical fit of laughter.
"Shut up Yami" he growls.
"It was good while it lasted" I smile over at him.
He starts laughing with us. "I hate you Yami" he says through his laughter.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure you don't" I say.
After we all settled down, we finally got a conversation started.
"So, what kinds of stuff do you do Yami?" Tea asks me.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"What do you do for a living?" She clearifies.
"Oh.. Well..." I think for a minute.. "I do lots of things for a living."
"Like what?" Serenity asks.
"Yami's a boxer, singer, he's a really good po-" Duke starts listing off things.
"Duke no!" I say "Don't you dare finish that statement! I don't do that for money!"
"Oh right, you do that for fun..." He smirks at me.
Everyone is staring at us, and I'm pretty sure my face is red from embarrassment. "I hate you" I mouth to Duke. "I love you too" he mouths back making the hand gestures. I shake my head, Duke may be fun, but sometimes he was just dumb.
"Yami?" That angelic voice... So beautiful...
"Hm?" I turn to him.
"What was Duke about to say?" he asks sitting beside me.
I mumble something he can't hear, keeping my head down so he can't see my now red face.
"What?" he asks, his face coming down to meet mine. "Yami, your face is red, are you okay?"
Duke busts out laughing. I turn, glaring daggers his way. Thats the only warning he's getting before I bust him into next year. I start counting. "Three..." I say "Two..." Yugi is looking at me with a confused look on his face "One!" I yell before jumping from the couch to Duke on the chair. He screams as we go tumbling out of the chair.
"Okay! I give! I quit!" Duke yells.
I raise my fist "You gonna shut your mouth?" I tease.
"Yes! I'll shut up!" Duke yells starting to laugh.
"Good" I chuckle "I didn't wanna beat your face in in front of our friends."
"Thank goodness" He rolls his eyes.
"Hey wait, did you say Yami was a boxer?" Yugi asks.
"Yep, Yami is the best in the business" Duke says getting up and brushing himself off.
"Wow, really?" Yugi looks at me, his eyes twinkling a little as I sit down next to him. I can't help but smile back at him.
"Yep" Duke says. "He has a match Saturday, you guys should go."
"Can we really?" Serenity asks. "I've never been to a boxing match. Is there anything we have to do?"
"You guys? Nah" Duke explains "Yami? He has to train, and train hard."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll get started tomorrow" I groan.
"Yeah you will, I'm in charge of that." Duke says happily.
"You just love being in charge of something don't you?" I smirk.
"Yup" he grins.
I lean back on the couch, yawning, stretching and flexing my muscles. "Man, I am wore out, that ride was a lot longer than it seemed" I say rubbing my back.
"Tell me about it" Duke groans.
"What time in the morning Duke?" I ask.
"Well, we had a long day today, and it's only Sunday, tomorrow is Monday, so let's say 10, but no later!" He says giving me his I-mean-it look.
"Gotchya boss" I say getting up and putting my laptop back on the table. "Hey, it was great meeting you guys, but I'm off to bed" I say with a wink, before stretching while leaving the room.
Getting ready for bed, I heard bits and pieces of the conversation in the living room of the hotel room. I couldn't help but stop at my door and listen. I caught something about Yugi, a crush, getting to know that person, and my name? A smile crosses my face, so little Yugi does feel the same way... Hmm... Might have to go on that. I head over to the bed in my shorts, stretch one last time before putting my hands behind my head and falling asleep, a smile on my face.
Me: Wasn't that awesome?! Oh? You're wondering what Duke was about to say about Yami's secret that he does for fun? Well, you'll have to hang around for a later chapter... ;) Hehe, sorry, no spoilers! :D
Yami: I hate you sometimes...
Me: Yeah, yeah, we know... *rolls eyes* Anyway! Review please :)
