SECRET SANTA

"All right! We don't have but another week before we're out for Christmas break!" Joey Wheeler said ecstatically, pumping his fist up into the air.

"Yeah. We know, Joey. You don't have to go yelling about it." Tristan Taylor said.

"I can't help it that I'm happier than you." Joey said.

"It's still another week before we get out, so you might want to be ready for that, Joey." Atemu Sennen told his friend.

Joey groaned. "All of you are raining on my parade." Joey said.

Bakura Mao snickered. "I find it rather funny." Bakura said.

Joey glared at him.

"Kura. Be nice." Ryou Bakura, Bakura's boyfriend, said.

"I'm just having a little fun, Ryou." Bakura argued.

"Yeah. There's no harm in having just a little fun." Marik Ishtal stated.

"Marik. Don't you start in on him." Malik Ishtar, Marik's boyfriend, said.

"At least someone cares." Joey muttered.

"Who's messing with my puppy?" Seto Kaiba, Atemu's cousin, asked as he joined them.

"Ah, Joey's excited about the end of school for Christmas break, and we're all jiving him because we still have a week before then." Yami Sennen, Atemu's twin brother, said.

"I'm excited about. So sue me." Joey said.

"We can't. You have a rich and powerful boyfriend who could squash any lawsuit against you." Tristan said.

"And don't forget it." Seto said as he slipped an arm around Joey's waist.

"Hey. Where are Yugi and Heba at?" Tea Gardner, Tristan's girlfriend, asked looking around.

"Huh? I would have thought that they would have been here by now." Atemu said.

The group was waiting outside of Domino High School for the last two members of the group.

The entire group had been friends for a while.

Yugi, Heba, Joey, Ryou, Malik, Tea, and Tristan had all been friends since they were kids. They all lived relatively close together, so they ended up being the best of friends. When Joey started dating Seto, Seto unwittingly became a part of their circle of friends. Bakura and Marik lived together and had moved to Domino two years before. When Ryou and Malik started dating them, they also became a part of the group, despite the fact that the two acted kind of insane at times.

It had only been about a year that Yami and Atemu moved there. Their father owned a large comp may, and he moved the headquarters to Domino, causing the boys to move from Egypt to Japan. The two had quickly become popular because of their exotic looks and had many admirers. The two weren't thrilled with the way people drooled over them.

Yugi and Heba Mutou, also twins, had invited the two to eat lunch with their friends on the first day of school. Yami and Atemu had accepted, and they had quickly been accepted into the group. Since none of the group had been drooling over them or trying to ask them out, Yami and Atemu had quickly adapted to the group.

Atemu and Heba had started dating in April. They were still dating then since they were very happy together. It had been a blow to a lot of the girl population when Atemu had started dating Heba because it meant that he was dating a guy and that Atemu was no longer available.

Yami, however, was still available, so girls were always trying to get him to go out with them, but no one had managed to get Yami to do that yet. He was actually in love with Yugi, although he hadn't found the courage to actually admit it to Yugi yet.

"Hey guys!"

The group turned to see Yugi and Heba running up to them,

"Sorry we're late. We were helping Grandpa in the shop before we left, so we sort of lost track of time." Heba said between gasps for breath.

"Did you two run here?" Atemu asked.

"All the way." Yugi replied.

"You should have called us. Atemu and I pass your house on the way here. We would have picked you up." Yami said.

"We were fine. We walk most of the time anyway." Yugi replied, waving him off.

"Have we missed anything?" Heba asked.

"Just my excitement being stamped down." Joey muttered, sounding depressed.

"What's with him?" Yugi asked.

"Joey's upset because he was so excited about Christmas break coming up, and we sort of dampened his spirits by reminding him that we still have a week left of school before then." Ryou answered.

"Oh." Yugi said.

"Well, it doesn't really matter. It'll be over before you know it." Seto said.

"Yeah. We hope." Atemu said as leaned over and kissed Heba on the cheek.

The bell then rang.

"Well, we'd better get to class." Tea said.

The group headed inside.


The entire group had the same first class, and they always sat in a group at the back next to the windows.

"I hate this class." Yami muttered.

"Come on, Yami. It's just math." Seto said.

"I don't do well in math." Yami asked.

"At least you have such a good tutor in Yugi." Tea said.

Yugi looked up from the notes he was looking over. "What?" Yugi asked.

"We were talking about how you're a good tutor for Yami in math since he doesn't do so well on his own in this subject." Atemu said..

"Oh." Yugi said before he went back to the notes.

Heba rolled his eyes. "And you all wonder why Yugi does so well in school? He's always got his nose in one of his books or his notes." Heba said.

"That would be why I have straight A's, and you have B's and C's." Yugi replied.

Joey snickered. "His grades are about as good as mine and Tristan's are." Joey said.

"At least that's better than Bakura and Marik." Ryou said.

"Hey! We're still passing!" Bakura protested.

"You have straight D's. That's not good." Malik said.

"We pass. That's all that matters." Marik said.

Tea shook her head. "I can't believe those two care so little." Tea said.

"The only reason they do that well is because we threatened to cut them off if they didn't at least pass." Ryou said.

Atemu laughed. "That'll get them to do better." Atemu said.

"You don't have to worry about that." Bakura snapped.

"No. I do just as well as Heba does." Atemu said.

Yugi shook his head. He didn't care to talk about grades like that.

"Yugi, are we still meeting after school?" Yami asked.

"Yeah. We can go to my house. Grandpa will be in the shop, and Heba will be over at your house, so we'll be able to have some quiet." Yugi said.

The group looked over at them.

"What are you two talking about?" Atemu asked, wondering if they had gotten together without any of them knowing.

"Tutoring. We have that math test Wednesday, so Yugi and I are going to meet today and tomorrow so he can help me study for it." Yami said.

"Okay." Heba said.

A few moments later, the teacher walked in. "All right, class. Settle down." the teacher said.

The students all turned their attention to her.

"I know that you are all excited about Christmas break coming, but I have an announcement to make." the teacher said.

"No test Wednesday?" a student asked.

The teacher, Ms. Harmon, laughed. "As much as you all would like for that to happen, no. The test is Wednesday." Ms. Harmon said.

There were groans from several people.

"You can stop that, or I won't tell you the announcement." Ms. Harmon said.

The students became quiet.

"Now, I was thinking that since Friday is the last day of school before Christmas break, we could have ourselves a little Christmas party." Ms. Harmon said.

"All right!"

"That's a great idea!"

"That'll be fun!"

Ms. Harmon laughed. "Well, I'm glad that everyone likes this idea. Now, we'll all need to bring in things for the party. Drinks, snacks, and anything else you like. We'll make a list so that everyone doesn't bring the same thing. Also, we'll being doing a secret Santa, so we'll all draw names, so you need to get a present for the person's whose name you draw. Also, don't let the person whose name you draw know you have their name. It'll be a surprise." Ms. Harmon said.

Everyone made murmurs of agreement.

"All right. Before we start, we'll draw the names." Ms. Harmon said.

One at a time, the students went up to draw a name.

Yami went up and drew a name. He nearly had a heart attack when he saw whose name he had drawn. Yugi. 'I can't believe this.' Yami thought as he sat back down.

"Great. I get the slut of the school." Bakura muttered.

Marik snickered. "Get her some condoms." Marik said.

"Everyone, I want these gifts to be something nice. I don't want anything ugly." Ms. Harmon said.

"Damn." Marik said.

"You have until Friday to get someone something. It doesn't have to be big. Just make sure that it's appropriate for school." Ms. Harmon said.

"Oh, well. There goes that idea." Marik said.

"Bakura, I'll get yours for you." Ryou said, knowing it wouldn't appropriate otherwise.

"All right, class. Let's get started" Ms. Harmon said, starting up the class.

'I don't know what to get Yugi. We may be best friends, but I don't know what to get him for Christmas.' Yami thought.


The next class Yami, Atemu, Bakura, Tea, and Ryou all had together.

"So, who did you guys get?" Tea asked.

"I ended up with the slut." Bakura grumbled.

"Yes. We got that. I got Heba. That'll be pretty easy." Ryou said.

"Well, I got Miranda." Atemu said.

"Won't be too hard. At least she's one of the better girls." Tea said.

"Don't I know it." Atemu said.

"What about you, Tea?" Atemu asked.

"Joey. Won't be hard since we're friends." tea said.

"All right. Out with it Yami. Who did you get?" Bakura asked.

"Yugi." Yami answered.

"Yugi?" all four said, surprised.

"Yeah. I drew Yugi's name." Yami said.

"That's good. What are you going to get him?" Tea asked.

"I have no idea." Yami answered.

"Come on. You two are best friends. You have to have something in mind." Ryou said.

"I don't. I mean, I haven't gotten him anything for Christmas because I don't have a clue what to give him." Yami said.

"Huh. Sucks to be you." Bakura said.

"Kura!" Ryou growled.

"What?" Bakura asked.

"Come on, Yami. I'm sure that you'll figure something out." Atemu said.

"I hope so. It'll look pretty bad if I can't get him something for either one." Yami said.

"Well, you've got four days to figure it out." Bakura said.

Yami groaned. "I don't know what to do." Yami said.

Tea was thinking. 'I think I know what to do. This will be the perfect opportunity to get Yugi and Yami together.' Tea thought, already scheming.


"You what?" Atemu asked.

"Come on, Atemu. I need you help to pull this off." Tea said.

The two had their next class with Ryou, Marik, and Seto.

"Are you sure about this, Tea?" Atemu asked.

"You're the only one who can help me with this." Tea said.

"It's not a bad idea, really. I mean, this would be the perfect time to get Yami to admit how he feels about Yugi." Tea said.

"I know it's a good time, but convincing Yami to tell Yugi is the point." Atemu said.

Seto rolled his eyes. "Please get him to tell Yugi. I am so tired of Yami being so lovesick and starring at Yugi with that lovey-dovey look in his eyes when Yugi's not looking." Seto said.

"Like you don't act like that with Joey." Marik said with a smirk.

Seto glared. "The same for you with Malik." Seto said.

Marik glared right back at him.

"Okay." Ryou said. He turned back to look at Tea and Atemu. "Anyway, we all know that Yami loves Yugi, we all know that Yugi loves Yami, we're all sick of them acting like this, and we all want them to admit how they feel about each other. Seems perfect for me." Ryou said.

Atemu sighed. "All right. I'll talk to Yami and see if I can get him to do this, but it won't be easy." Atemu said.

"Well, it's Monday, so you've got until Thursday night to convince him." Seto said.

"And I'll help you out if you want me to." Tea added.

"Thanks, Tea. I'll think about it." Atemu said.


"No way." Yami said.

Yami and Atemu were in Atemu's room at their house.

"Why not?" Atemu asked.

"I am not going to tell Yugi how I feel about him." Yami said.

"Come on, Yami. You're in love with the guy. Just tell him already." Atemu said.

"What about Mom and Dad?" Yami asked.

Atemu glared. "Now you're just making excuses. Mom and Dad love Yugi to death, they know that you're gay, and they don't care, so stop that." Atemu said.

Yami sighed. "Atemu, I just don't want to tell Yugi and end up destroying our friendship if he doesn't feel the same way." Yami admitted.

"Yami, you and I both know Yugi rather well. Yugi won't end your friendship because of this, even if he doesn't feel the same way." Atemu said.

"It would be awkward." Yami said.

Atemu groaned. "What if he feels the same, Yami?" Atemu asked.

Yami blinked, startled. "What?" Yami asked.

"Yami, if Yugi does feel the same way, then things will change for the better." Atemu said.

Yami sighed. "I don't know." Yami said.

"Don't you want to know whether Yugi feels the same way you do or not? Do you want to live the rest of your life wondering what could have been if you had told him?" Atemu asked.

"No." Yami admitted.

"Then actually do something about it. Use this secret Santa thing to tell him how you feel in some way." Atemu said before he got up and left the room.

Yami sat there in silence. 'Atemu's right. I need to tell Yugi. I want to know.' Yami thought.

Something then hit Yami.

'I think I know exactly what to do.' Yami thought. He got up and left the house.


~Friday~

"All right! It's the last day of school before Christmas!" Joey shouted, pumping his fist in the air in excitement.

The group rolled their eyes.

"Come on. Aren't you guys excited?" Joey asked.

"I am. It'll be nice to be out of school for a while." Yugi said.

"No joke." Malik agreed.

"Well, we have a party to get to, so let's get to class." Atemu said.

The group had a half day of school, so they spent three hours of the day in one class, their first period that they all had together.

They walked into the room to find that there were very people there.

The group set what they had brought for the party on a table before they went to their seats.

"I can't believe that we're stuck in this classroom for three hours." Bakura muttered.

"Talk about being bored." Marik added.

"It could be worse." Heba said.

"How?" Marik asked.

"We could have had to do work all morning instead of a party." Heba said.

Bakura and Marik had to agree that it was better than doing work.

"It will be boring after so long." Atemu said.

"Well, we can deal with it." Yugi said.

"This is strange. You not studying." Tristan said, looking at Yugi.

Yugi shrugged. "No point today." Yugi said.

"He's right about that." Tea agreed.

The group heard the bell ring to signal the start of class.

The students were all excited because they knew that they were having a party in the class instead of having to do schoolwork.

"All right, class. Settle down." Ms. Harmon said.

The class slowly settled down.

"I know you are all excited for us having a party, but we need to keep the noise down to a minimum. We'll eat, exchange gifts, and have a good time until it's time for us to leave." Ms. Harmon told the class.

The class nodded in excitement.

"All right. Let's get started." Ms. Harmon said.

Everyone got up and started to get some food.

The students had brought drinks, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, chips, and small sandwiches to the party.

"Well, I have to admit, this is better than most days." Bakura said as he ate.

"Yeah. These are good." Ryou said as he bit into a cupcake.

"Thank Yugi." Heba said

"Why?" Yami asked.

"Because Yugi's the one who made all those cupcakes." Heba answered.

All eyes turned to Yugi.

"You did?" Tea asked.

Yugi nodded.

"You cook?" Tristan asked.

Yugi rolled his eyes. "It's not that big a deal. I enjoy cooking. Who do you think does all of the cooking at home?" Yugi asked.

"We just assumed that Gramps did." Joey replied.

Heba and Yugi started laughing.

"I'm sorry. I love Grandpa to death, but he cannot cook to save his life." Heba said.

"Yeah. I have to do it all." Yugi said.

"It's good to know." Malik said.

The group kept on eating.

It wasn't long before all the students started exchanging the gifts that they had gotten for each other.

"I'm amazed that Bakura got her a decent gift." Yugi said.

"Well, I bought it. I couldn't let Bakura because we all know that it would have been something completely inappropriate." Ryou said.

"Hey! It's what she would have deserved." Bakura said in his own defense.

"Bakura, I wouldn't use that as a way to defend yourself." Tea said. She turned to Joey and said, "Here, Joey. I had you."

"Thanks, Tea." Joey said. He opened it and found that it was a small figurine of the Red Eyes Black Dragon. "Cool! Thanks, Tea!" Joey said with a smile.

"Anytime." Tea said.

"Well, I had you, Heba." Ryou said, handing the gift to Heba.

"Thanks." Heba said. He opened it to find that it was a sketchpad along with pens and pencils to use.

"We all know that you love to draw, so I thought you could use it." Ryou said.

"Thanks, Ryou." Heba said.

"Well, I had you. Bakura. Here." Tristan said.

Bakura opened it to find that it was a CD of his favorite music group. "Cool. Thanks." Bakura said.

"Here, Atemu. I had you." Yugi said as he handed Atemu a wrapped gift.

"Oh. Thanks, Yugi." Atemu said. He opened the gift to find that it was a Duel Monsters card. "Hey! I've been looking for this." Atemu said.

"I know. I saw it in Grandpa's shop and knew you'd like it." Yugi said.

"Thanks." Atemu said.

The other had gotten something from a student outside their circle of friends.

All except Yugi.

Yami was rather nervous about giving Yugi his. He knew that this was important, and he was wondering what was going to happen when Yugi found out.

While their friends and all the others students were busy talking, eating, or discussing their gifts, Yami pulled Yugi aside.

"What is it, Yami?" Yugi asked.

"Um, well, you see, Yugi, I sort of-um." Yami was stumbling.

Yugi smiled. "Yami, take it easy." Yugi said.

Yami felt his heart melt at that smile. He loved it when Yugi smiled.

"Now, what is it?" Yugi asked.

"Well, I drew your name in the Secret Santa thing, so here's your gift." Yami said as he handed the gift over to Yugi.

Yugi took the gift. "Thanks, Yami." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. 'I just hope you still like it when you see what it is.' Yami thought.

Yugi opened the gift and then opened the box to find that there was a heart-shaped box inside. "What's this?" Yugi asked.

"Open the box." Yami said.

Yugi did as he was told and opened the box to find that there was a necklace inside. He picked one up and saw that it had his name on it and then something on the back. "What is this on the back?" Yugi asked.

"Um, it's my name. In Egyptian." Yami explained.

Yugi looked up curiously.

Yami sighed. "Yugi, in Egypt, there's a tradition where the name of the one who you are in love with in their own language and your name on the opposite side of it in your native language." Yami explained.

Yugi looked up at Yami in shock. "What do you mean?" Yugi asked.

Yami smiled. "I love you, Yugi, and I want you to have that, if you feel the same way." Yami said.

Yugi smiled at Yami. "Yami, I only ever dreamed of you saying something like that to me. I do love you, Yami. I didn't think that you would feel the same way about me." Yugi said.

"Yugi, I've been in love with you for a while. I was too scared of what it would do to our friendship." Yami said.

"Well, you don't have to worry." Yugi said.

"So, can I assume that we're dating?" Yami asked.

"Yes, we are." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "That's great." Yami said.

Atemu walked over and said, "About time."

The two looked at him and noticed that all their friends were watching them with smiles.

"You all knew, didn't you?" Yugi asked.

"That you two were in love with each other, yes. That Yami was doing this, no." Joey replied.

"I'm just glad that you two aren't going to be looking at each all the time now." Bakura said.

"Like you didn't do the same thing to Ryou." Yami said.

Bakura glared at him.

"Can we just enjoy the rest of the party in peace?" Ryou asked.

The group agreed and did just that.


After school, Yugi and Yami went for a walk.

"Yami, I'm glad that you finally told me." Yugi said.

The two were walking hand-in-hand through the park.

"So am I. It's been bugging me for months, but I didn't want to ruin our friendship, so I said nothing. I just didn't want to lose you as a friend if you didn't feel the same way about me." Yami said.

"Well, I do, Yami. I didn't say anything for the same reason." Yugi said.

"Well, you should thank Atemu and Tea." Yami said.

Yugi was confused. "Why?" Yugi asked.

"It was Tea's idea to get me to confess to you using the Secret Santa thing since she knew I had drawn your name. Atemu was the one to convince me." Yami said.

"Well, I owe them then." Yugi said.

"Yes, you do. We both do." Yami said.

"We have great friends to go to these lengths for us." Yugi said.

"We do. I'm just glad that we're dating." Yami said. He sighed. "Maybe all the girls will stop chasing me now." Yami said.

"Well, once they know that you are dating me, I'm sure that they'll stop." Yugi said.

"I hope so." Yami agreed.

"You know, I think that this is going to be a great Christmas." Yugi said.

"Why's that?" Yami asked.

"Because I got what I really wanted fro Christmas. You." Yugi said.

Yami smiled. "Same here." Yami said. He then leaned down and kissed Yugi.

Both were glad that they got what they really wanted for Christmas.


Hope you liked it.
