Solomon sat down at the table. Yami, Atemu, Heba, and Yugi were already seated and eating breakfast before school that morning. After finishing their breakfast, they grabbed their backpacks and readied to leave.

"Have a nice day at school." Solomon said to everyone as they left the house.

A routine of things seemed to be forming at the Mutou household. Everyone would wake up, get dressed, eat breakfast, and then leave for school.

Yugi, Heba, Yami, and Atemu walked into the school building, it was their second week of school and things were starting to go smoothly. Everyone could find their classes easily, with no problem avail. The group walked into their homeroom class, which they also had with Joey, Tristen, Seto, and Ryou. The only one of the group that wasn't in their homeroom class was Tea.

Joey and Tristen, who were already in the classroom, greeted the four. The only others in the classroom was a group, who Atemu and Yami had officially dubbed as the Giggling Girls.

Yami and Atemu sat down in desks that were next to each other, Yugi and Heba sat down across from them.

A girl from the group then walked up to Yami, "Hi Yami, are you finding your way around school okay?" She asked.

Yugi tensed in his seat and looked at Heba. Heba looked at him and mouthed, 'Don't worry.' Yugi had told Heba just yesterday of his newly found feelings for Yami.

Flashback-

The two walked on the path through the park. Yami had taken Atemu somewhere again, like he had the day before, which left Yugi and Heba to themselves. Yugi had asked Heba if he would like to see some of his favorite places around Domino, Heba had agreed.

"I really like it here," Yugi said. "I'm sure if I was feeling down or something; this is where I would come."

Heba smiled at Yugi, "It is really peaceful here. It almost makes you feel free."

"That's why I like it here." Yugi said. Yugi stopped suddenly and said, "Say Heba?"

"Huh?" Heba asked and turned to face Yugi.

"There's something I want to ask your opinion on, but I'm not sure how to ask." Yugi said, a blush slightly covering his cheeks.

Ever curious, Heba said, "Whatever it may be Yugi, you can just plain out ask. It won't kill you to speak a few words will it?"

Yugi laughed slightly, "I guess you're right, but it's kind of embarrassing. You have to promise not to tell anyone, or let them know."

"I promise, and I won't let anyone know." Heba said.

"Well," Yugi started and blushed even more. He knew he could trust Heba not to tell anyone. "I-I kind of, think I may like Yami. Maybe more than I should. I wanted your opinion on whether that was weird and creepy." Yugi looked back at Heba, not realizing he had looked away from him before.

Heba smiled. "I don't think that's weird and creepy at all. In fact, I like Atemu more than I should. Even if that sounds wrong, it shouldn't be weird or creepy, if you know you love a person right?"

Yugi smiled at Heba, "Yeah. Should I tell Yami?" Yugi asked.

"If you feel up to it," Heba said. "Now what was this about an ice-cream shop that you were telling me about earlier?" He asked.

Yugi's eyes lit up. "Come on, I'll show you." He said and started off again.

-End Flashback

Yami nodded his head. "Yes."

"Not having any trouble with your classes are you?" She asked.

Yami frowned. "No."

"Well if you have any questions, or are having any trouble you can come to me." She said and winked before trudging off and going back to the Giggling Girls.

"What was that about?" Atemu asked.

Yami shrugged.

Seto scoffed.

"What?" Atemu and Yami asked at the same time.

"She obviously likes you, I can't believe you didn't figure that out. The whole group of Giggling Girls likes both of you." Seto said.

"How do you know?" Atemu asked.

Yugi and Heba sat frowning at the fact that the whole bunch of girls likes the same ones as them. Yami and Atemu's attention was drawn on Seto, so the two didn't even notice their frowning and disapproving faces.

Seto scoffed again and turned his attention to a book.

Atemu and Yami looked at Yugi and Heba and noticed their faces, as well as Joey shaking his head.

"What?" They asked again in union.

"Nothing." Yugi and Heba answered in union. Yami and Atemu looked at each other and shrugged.

The group still had a fair time before school was suppose to start, so the group mainly watched Joey and Seto fight the entire time.

"I told you the last time we dueled; you can never beat me." Seto said.

"Duel me again, and we'll see who wins this time, tough guy."

"Why should I waste my time dueling a mutt like you?" Seto sneered.

"So I can prove you wrong." Joey said.

"No. I know you'd lose, I have better things to do then duel someone, no, duel a mutt, who thinks they can prove me wrong." Seto said and turned back to the book he had been reading.

Joey growled angrily, "I know I can beat you, rich boy!"

Seto sat down his book and glared at Joey, "Class is going to start, a duel would have to wait, loser." He picked back up his book. Just then the bell rang and the teacher walked in as if on cue.

"Good morning everyone, please take your seats." She said and started to write on the board.

Joey gave one last growl directed at Seto, and then went to take his seat.

~End of the week, Friday, Lunchtime~

Joey watched Yugi from across the round lunch table. Yugi sat in between Ryou and Yami. On Yami's other side sat Tea, and next to her was Atemu, and then Tristen. Next to Tristen was Joey, then Heba, Ryou, and back to Yugi.

Joey was watching Yugi and Heba closely, the whole second week of school had girls constantly comeing up to Yami and Atemu. Even though Joey knew he wasn't the smartest, he could tell when someone liked someone else, and he could tell Yugi liked Yami and Heba liked Atemu, not only that, they had told him when Joey asked what was bothering them.

Besides the random girls, there were other things bothering Joey. For one, Tea's constantly hanging on Yami was bothering him, even if it had nothing to do with Joey, he still found it annoying. The other thing that was bothering him was how much Seto kept irritating him with the constat bugging and arguing.

Seto Kaiba came up just then and squeezed between Joey and Heba. Heba didn't seem to mind and scutted closer to Ryou to make more room. However, Joey, on the other hand, seemed to mind. Joey growled, "Grr, Kaiba!" He said aloud.

"Yes?" Seto answered smuggly.

"Couldn't you sit at the other end of the table?" Joey asked and scooted closer to Tristen.

"What's wrong with me sitting here?"

"Everything!" Joey exclaimed.

"I don't have time to argue with a low-grade mutt, why don't you scurry off somewhere else so I can enjoy my lunch?" Seto said and opened his milk carton.

"Listen here, rich boy!" Joey said and stood up. "I was here first, ya know, I'm gettin' sick n' tired of you giving me crap all the time!" Joey's temper flew. "I was sittin' here perfectly fine until you came along. Why can't you just leave me alone?! Why don't you just-"

"JOEY!" Yugi yelled from right next to Joey. He grabbed his arm and halled him off. Yugi didn't let go untill they reached the roof of the school building. "Joey, you need to calm down."

"Kaiba," Joey spat. "He just irritates me so much!" Joey kicked the fenceing that outlined the roof. Then he took a deep breath, "Sorry, Yug." He appologized.

"Its fine, just-"

"No its not, Yug. I shouldn't let Kaiba get to me like that."

"Then why do you?" Yugi asked.

"I can't help it, there's just something about him that makes me so angry!" Joey said with a very frustrated tone.

"Joey..." Yugi said.

"I know, Yug."

"Calm down. Blow some steam. Then come back to the lunchroom okay?" Yugi inched towards the doorway.

"Alright." Joey said.

With that said, Yugi left Joey to himself. He could tell Joey needed some time alone, besides he was egar to get back to Yami before Tea had a chance to do something. The last person Yugi expected to hang on Yami, was Tea. She was his friend, not that Yugi wasn't either, but didn't that put Tea in with the rest of the girls? She kept hanging on Yami and following him around. Yugi didn't think he would be jealous of any of the girls. In fact, he wasn't, he was only scarred that Yami would except on of their offers. But with Tea, he was extreemly jealous, not that he let Yami know. He even went so far as to hide his feelings from Yami. Yugi walked down the flights of stairs, heading back to the lunchroom.

Seto starred after Joey while Yugi was pulling him away. He smirked, and turned around back to the table. He grabbed his tray and stood up, and then left the lunchroom all together. Yugi walked into the cafiteria a few minutes later.

"Is Joey alright?" Yami asked Yugi. Yugi just nodded then sat down to finish his lunch. When the bell rang, Yugi left ahead of the group, making his way to his next class as fast as he could. If he knew Joey, he would have gone their instead of back to the lunchroom. Yugi left Tea and Yami behind him, quickly weaving in and out of people. He needed to make sure Joey had blown off his steam since he didn't come back.

Sure enough Joey was sitting in his seat, looking more realaxed than Yugi had seen him in a while. He wore a huge smile on his face that told Yugi something extreemly good had just happened to him.

"I see somebody is happy." Yugi said, taking a seat next to Joey.

"Yeah." Joey said and nodded his head. Obviously something very good had happened to him, for Joey's eyes were shining more than before.

"Wanna tell me about it?" Yugi asked happily. Joey's happiness was having an effect on Yugi, making him smile like mad.

"Well.."Joey started.

Yugi quirked an eyebrow, just then Yami entered the room, "Yugi!" He exclaimed. Yugi looked over and his smile faded instantly. Tea of course, was right next to Yami, she had been following him like a dog! Yami didn't look happy at all, he was making a face. "I need to talk to you, Aibou." He said.

"Okay, but can it wait?" Yugi asked.

"Why?" Yami asked.

"I need to talk to Joey first." Yugi turned his attention back to Joey.

Yami sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He then plopped down in his chair. Tea took a seat next to him.

Don't worry, mō hitori no boku. Yugi said through their mind link. Yugi only heard Yami send a mental sigh back.

"So Joey what is it?" Yugi asked.

Joey blushed then leaned closer and whispered into Yugi's ear. "No way!" Yugi exclaimed. Yami looked over at Yugi sencing the rush of emotions that just went over the little one.

"Joey, I can't believe that! That's great!" Yugi said and hugged Joey.

"Shhh." Joey sushed. "We're gonna keep on the down low for a while, alright?"

Yugi nodded.
