Yugi yawned and pulled the small blanket up around him tighter. Joey was in the kitchen getting snacks, while Yami was testing some new duel equipment for Kaiba and Grandpa was at the museum. This meant movie night for Yugi and Joey.

"Don't you dare fall asleep before we even press play." Joey teased, grabbing the blanket off of him. He then set a bowl of popcorn and a couple of sodas on the coffee table.

"I'm tired. And bored. How long did you take, anyway?" Yugi looked over at the clock on the wall.

"Ten minutes. You sure you don't just want to call it a night? We can do this some other time." Joey sat and tossed the blanket back over his friend's reclined form.

"No. I'm awake. Lets start the movie." Yugi protested, sitting up and reaching for a soda. Maybe a jolt of sugar would keep him awake. Joey had come over to spend the night with him, and he wasn't going to spend the whole time asleep.

"Alright. Just know that if you get scared, you can hold onto me." He grinned and pressed the play button.

"Please tell me this isn't one of your scary movies, Joey." Yugi placed the soda back on the table and then leaned against Joey. Staying up the night before to help Yami with his deck structure had apparently been a mistake. He was just so tired. Maybe closing his eyes just through the previews would be okay . . .

"Ahhhhhh!"

Yugi jerked awake gasping and panting. "What- what's going on?"

"The movie just ended. You slept through it and I didn't want to wake you up, so I was just watching the outtakes." Joey explained, wrapping an arm around Yugi's shoulders.

"What did we just watch?" Yugi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I," Joey exaggerated jokingly, "just watched Zombieland."

Much to Joey's surprise, Yugi, after staring for a moment, began to laugh. "I guess that explains my dream, then."

"What did you dream about?" The blonde turned off the TV and unintentionally plunged the room into complete darkness.

"That a Twinkie with Bill Murry's voice was trying to eat me."

"What? If I'd known you were under attack by a zombie Twinkie, I would have woken you up." Joey really was concerned, but ended up losing the battle of stifling his giggles.

"Don't worry. A rabbit with a shotgun saved me, before he left with a big snake in a cowboy hat. And I think there were two birds with them?" Yugi stopped talking when he realized that Joey had stopped laughing. "What?"

"I . . . did grab the soda, right? I mean that wasn't something else, was it?"

"Well, it tasted like root beer, and it said it was on the label. Why?"

"Because if I accidently fed you something I wasn't supposed to, Grandpa would kill me and Yami would make sure my ghost never got near you again."

It was Yugi's turn to laugh. "You do realize how paranoid you sound, right?"

"Around you Motous, Yugi, paranoia keeps me alive."

"But you love us anyway, right?" Yugi teased, snuggling closer under Joey's arm. It was right then that the front door opened and, a second later; Yami entered the room and walked past them, not even pausing as he passed them.

"No PDA." He said, walking into his room.

"We're not in public." Joey called after him. Yugi blushed and hid his face.

"Just thought I'd give one last piece of advice before I left." The duel champion came back down with a small backpack in hand.

"Left?" Yugi tilted his head. "Left where?"

At that, Yami paused and avoided eye contact. "Kaiba wants my help fixing his new duel disk." He adjusted the backpack and turned to the pair. "I'll be gone for the night. You two behave."

Yugi and Joey just stared knowingly at him. "Us two behave?"

"Fine. You two keep your mouths shut. How's that?" Yami rolled his eyes.

"Have fun." They sang in unison.

"I plan to. While you two should get to sleep. It's getting late." He swung his bag over his shoulder and headed for the door.

"You can't tell me what to do!" Joey called after him.

"Maybe not, but I can tell your ghost!" Was the last thing the heard before the door shut.

" . . . "

" . . . "

"Y'know what? I'm tired. Why don't we turn in?"

"I suddenly don't think your paranoia was so misguided after all."

Yyyyy

"What took you so long?" Seto asked as Yami climbed in the back seat beside him.

"Decided to invoke my right and duty as elder sibling." Yami grinned.

"Translation. You decided to pick on Yugi and Joey."

"Just a bit."

Yyyyy

Let me know how I did! Reviews make my day! :3
