Soon the school day was over and Yami was one of the last students to leave the homeroom when he noticed that Yugi, Joey, Tea and Tristan were waiting for him outside the class.
"Hey you guys" he says as he is approaching them.
"Hi Yami, want to come to the arcade Yami?" Yugi spoke up from behind Joey.
"Uh, sure" Yami replies back with a smile.
"Okay, let's go Yami" Yugi tells him, grabbing his wrist and drags him.
When they all reached their destination, Yami was full-on smiling with eagerness to play the games inside.
"Let's go Yami. We don't have all day" Joey told Yami who was still standing outside the building.
"Okay, I'm coming".
"So, which game are we playing first then?" Tea asks the group.
"Let's play Dance Dance Revolution first. Me and Tristan go first" Joey spoke up and Tristan agreed with him.
When they left, Yugi, Yami and Tea were left.
"So, okay I am going to the skeeball" Yami says and left Yugi and Tea behind.
"Okay Tea, let's play the basketball game" Yugi tells Tea.
"I am going to beat your ass in the game Yugi, just watch".
"Yeah right, I won't let you win, no matter how hard you try".
While they were playing, Duke followed them behind with his car.
'They seem oblivious that I was following them right behind them. But no matter, I'll wait till they come out and fake the encounter as a coincidence" he told himself.
After 2 hours inside, the gang decide to leave and call it a day.
When they all got out, they saw Duke in his car, as if he was waiting for somebody.
"Hey Duke, what are you doing here? Waiting for somebody?" Joey asks him first, surprised to see him there.
"Hi you guys, were you guys playing at the arcade?" Duke asks Joey.
"Yeah we were and Yami came with us" Joey responds.
"Really? I'm surprised because I went to look for him at his last class and saw nobody there so I thought he went with you guy or went home" Duke replies.
"Yeah, good thing we saw him" Joey tells him and added, "So, who are you waiting for Yami?"
"What for Duke?" Yugi asks him.
"I want to ask him something. And it's personal, so if you mind" Duke says and looks at Yami who was there listening to the conversation from behind Tea.
"Yami, I need to talk to you in private and if you want, we could go to my house and talk. It's something really important".
"Uh,okay" Yami replied and hopped to Duke's car.
"Thanks for the invite you guys. I had fun. We should come again sometime" Yami tells his new friends before Duke drove away to his house.
"I'm getting suspicious about Duke" Tristan comments.
"Me too Tristan. I have a feeling Duke's planning something and it involves Yami. And I don't like it" Joey declares.
"Tomorrow, we should ask Yami what happened at Duke's house" Tea says.
"I'm really concerned for Yami's safety. He doesn't know Duke's intentions like we do. He's new and doesn't know Duke that well yet" Yugi states with concern in his voice.
"We should go pay Duke a visit. I bet they're home already" Joey says and leaves to see Duke and see what's up.
"I have a bad feeling about this whole situation" Yugi comments before following the group.
Duke finally got home and saw that Yami was really quiet during the drive.
"Yami, is something on your mind?" he asks Yami.
"No, it's just...it's nothing to worry about Duke" Yami tells him.
"Oh, okay".
"So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, let's go inside first and the we'll talk".
Yami got out of the car and followed Duke to the entrance and put his school bag near the door.
"Nice place you got Duke".
"Thanks Yami. My dad got it for me before he died last year because of cancer".
"Oh, that sucks. What about your mom?"
"She died too of cancer 3 years ago. I live by myself since last year".
"Oh, do you enjoy living by yourself Duke?"
"No, I really don't actually Yami and that's really hurting me inside, even though I don't show it. But I have to get used to it because I have no other family members to lean on other than myself. But I really want is a companion, a life-long partner who will be always be there for me when I need him the most".
"When you said 'him' are you implying that you're gay?"
"Well, I am bisexual really and I used to get bullied for it a lot before transfering to Domino High 2 1/2 years ago from London".
"London? I always wanted to go to London" Yami exclaimed.
"Maybe someday you'll be able to go. It's very beautiful over there. The people are friendly, the food is delicious, there's always plenty to see. Everyday in London is a new adventure".
"That's sounds so fun".
"It is fun Yami. Maybe we could go together soon?"
"What are you saying 'we could go together soon'?"
"I'm saying that I like you Yami. You caught my eye the very moment you came to class today. You are a such beautiful creature. I want you for me only, nobody else".
"W-what are you...I m-mean..I'm confused D-Duke" Yami stuttered not comprehending what he heard.
"What I am saying is that I want you to go out with me, that's all".
"I don't know Duke. I don't like guys. I'm sorry".
"I'll make you change your mind soon Yami".
