Chapter 4: Surveillance

Nakajima, the personal assistant to the CEO of Leo Corporation, Akaba Reiji, looked on as his employer paid his undivided attention to the performer on the screen of his office TV. Pro Entertainment Duelist Sakaki Yuya was once again dueling in a tournament to retain his title as the Duel Monsters Champion. His opponent this time was one of his most enduring rivals—Sawatari Shingo. Though his expression did not change, the young CEO's eyes seemed to light up as Sakaki said his signature catchphrase and defeated his opponent.

Unbeknownst to many, Akaba had an…infatuation with the younger entertainer. The young man obsessively taped every televised appearance, collected every printed article, and bookmarked every website mentioning him. To say Nakajima was shocked when he had learned of his boss' fixation would be an understatement. After finding out about the young CEO's obsession, Nakajima spent nights and days just wondering, why—why would a young, genius CEO of a multibillion-dollar company be so fixated on some undignified entertainer who was spurned by the rest of the professional world?
Eventually, he came to the conclusion that he would never be able to understand his boss and decided to just be grateful that his employer was only mooning over an admittedly pretty entertainer and isn't into something especially freaky or a part of some kind of criminal activity.

Not that his obsessing over the entertainer isn't creepy or anything—in fact, it most definitely is. But, there are worse things than his boss pining over the duelist and it's not like he's doing any harm. He can still remember when he had first pieced together that his boss was infatuated with the duel champ.

At some point, Akaba started having him acquire seemingly random magazines when he was off doing whatever other tasks he'd been given. Soon, he started being ordered to stop by the young CEO's home and record several duel tournaments, news channel slots, and other random programs—which he found extremely weird, but did so anyway, and didn't ask any questions. Embarrassingly, it wasn't until much further down the line, that he'd realized that this was so Akaba could collect all of Sakaki's public appearances. After about a year of doing these things, Nakajima finally figured it out when he stopped by his employer's home to drop off some extra work and he saw that Akaba's DVR was filled with specials featuring the duelist and all the magazines that he'd ever bought him before, including others that more obviously featured the object of his boss' obsession, were sitting on the shelves of a bookcase.

The phone on Akaba's desk rang, and the personal assistant went to answer it. Akaba was now preoccupied with watching an interview featuring his obsession. On the phone was one of his boss' people who were hired to keep tabs on Sakaki when he was alone. Apparently, the 19-year old duel champion had just entered Leo Corporation Headquarters—the building his boss did all of his work in and where they were currently located. Nakajima put his hand over the phone's transmitter and looked over to where his employer was seated—only to realize that he was no longer in the room.

After finishing watching the interview his long time celebrity crush was in, Reiji went down to the first floor of Leo Corp's HQ to talk to the secretary at the main desk. He would've had Nakajima see to it—this kind of thing was usually much too tedious for him to bother with—but his personal assistant had been taking a call on his office phone, so it was most likely something important that shouldn't have been interrupted. Once he got off the elevator, having reached his desired floor, he took a moment to glance around at his surroundings. He really didn't spend much time on this floor; he usually just passed it by as he was always focusing on getting to his office to do all of his important work, or was heading home for the night and was too tired to pay it any mind.

Out of the corner of his eye, Reiji spotted a familiar hairstyle—one he would know anywhere, having spent countless moments of his life surveilling it in numerous forms of media. There, only a few feet away from the main desk, was Sakaki Yuya—the current Duel Champion and the apple of Reiji's eye. He was even cuter in person. The teen was looking around nervously and was obviously feeling out of place. Reiji made his way towards the other and stopped only a foot away.

"You're Sakaki Yuya." Reiji states upon getting closer to him.

Yuya blushes, just from looking at the handsome man in front of him. "Y-yes!"

"But, what are you doing here, if you don't mind my asking? You don't do business with Leo Corporation."

"I—I'm here visiting my friend!"

"Your friend?"

"Y-yes. That's right." Yuya replies, still blushing. "Ah!" Yuya's eyes widened in a mixture of surprise and recognition. "There he is right now, actually."

Reiji looked around to find this friend Yuya was speaking of. There, off to the side of where the two were conversing, a younger teen wearing a light blue jacket was jogging towards them. It was his younger brother, Reira.

"Hey Yuya!"

"Hey!"

"Reira!" Reiji looked at his younger brother in surprise. "You're friends with Sakaki Yuya? How?"

"My friend Tatsuya introduced us; he's known Yuya since he was a little kid." He answered, smiling at the two. "Oh! By the way, Yuya, as it turns out, I have to go run an errand real quick, so you'll have to wait for me just a bit longer. Until then, my big brother here will take care of you, okay? See you soon!"

"W-wait! Reira—!" The dual hair colored duelist tried to protest.

Reira didn't listen however, and made his way to the door.

"Please excuse me for a moment," Reiji told Yuya, before quickly running after his brother. He barely managed to catch up to him just outside the door. "What are you doing?"

"I know you've been infatuated with Yuya for a while now, so I decided to help you out. Take care of him for me, okay?" Reira winked at his brother before running off.

"Reira—!" Reiji called after his brother after he came from his initial stupor. The young CEO frowned, his eyes closed in annoyance and his head hung ever so slightly in defeat. "Going and doing whatever you want…" he muttered. Sighing, he fixed his glasses into place and walked back into the Leo Corp HQ to play host to Sakaki Yuya—the person he's been obsessed with ever since his debut to the professional dueling circuit.

Yuya was still standing where the two brothers had left him when Reiji got back inside. "Please excuse my and my brother's rudeness."

"Huh? Oh! Uh…it's no problem."

"Why don't you follow me to my office?" Reiji asked as he walked towards the elevator.

"Right," Yuya followed the other to the elevator and their ride up was silent and awkward and seemed to go on forever.

Eventually, the two made it to Reiji's office and he requested the personal assistant to bring them refreshments as they await his younger brother's return. After Nakajima left, the two began conversing once more, this time Yuya started talking about how he was first introduced to Reira and how he changed over the years, and then they began on other various other subjects. Before long, a couple hours had passed, Reira finally returned, and Yuya asked Reiji if he'd like to get together again sometime to hangout. The CEO accepted, of course, and after Yuya and his younger brother left, he thought about how he couldn't wait until their next meeting.

A/N: So, the first three were basically about the beginning of their romantic relationship(s), and this one was more like the beginning of their friendship and the precursor to their romantic relationship.
