Okay so, this chapter was entirely too long. That's why I had to split it into two parts.

"Yusei! Do you know where my other shoe is?" Yugi asked, searching under his bed for his missing shoe. His first class started in 15 minutes and he couldn't find his shoe anywhere!

"Look under my bed." Yusei replied from the bathroom as he finished brushing his teeth. Yugi nodded and crawled over to Yusei's bed. Sure enough, as he lifted the dangling sheets, there was his missing shoe.

"Ah-ha!" he cried, pulling on his shoe. Yusei chuckled, helping Yugi to his feet. He rested his arms around Yugi's neck and kissed him.

"Yusei~! I have to go!" Yugi said when he broke away for air. Yusei looked over to the clock.

"You still have ten minutes."

"Yusei, I really need to go. And so do you." Yugi pouted. Yusei just kissed him again and Yugi pushed him playfully.

"No." he said, half giggling. Yusei smirked, growled, and tackled Yugi to the bed. He tickled Yugi's neck with featherlight kisses and nips all the while Yugi was laughing and trying to push him off.

"Ha ha, Yusei! Get off!" Yugi said. Yusei peeked at the clock.

"5 minutes." he said against Yugi's skin.

"We'll be late!"

"We'll be fine."

"Yusei!"

"Yugi." Yusei said, smiling. He tickled Yugi's sides, sending the shorter teen into a fit of laughter. Yugi desperately tried to keep Yusei's hands away, but Yusei seemed to be able to read his every move.

"Please! Off!" Yugi gasped between laughs. Yusei stopped to consider it, and rolled Yugi and himself over. He looked up into Yugi's eyes.

"Yusei. We both have to go."

"One more kiss?" Yusei asked innocently. Yugi thought for a short moment before giving Yusei a small kiss. He stood and helped Yusei up.

"See you after school." Yugi called to Yusei as they parted ways in the main building for their first class. Yusei smiled, blew him a kiss, and continued walking. It was the last week of school before summer break and it was inevitable that everything was gonna get a bit crazy. Yugi noticed this as he walked into first period and saw a majority of his classmates dancing on the tables. He only smiled and shook his head as trance music pumped out from a boombox somewhere in the back of class. The teacher was sitting at his desk grading a few papers. Yugi pulled a chair up next to him and took a few papers out of his bag. For the next hour, Yugi and his teacher discussed what they were gonna do over the summer, Shakespeare, and how crazy they thought everything was going to become.

"This is only the beginning. I think they should have a little free time at the end of the year. The students have worked hard." the teacher said. Yugi nodded in agreement, especially since everyone worked so hard to pass their finals last week. Most of the classes the rest of the day were like that. And as the week wore on, it got crazier and crazier. Everyday, Yugi noticed something was added to the hallways; toilet paper, giant pieces of painted paper, balloons, confetti, streamers, even eyeliner and eyeshadow decorated the walls eventually. Yusei commented that everyone was somehow getting high, Jack thought it was immature, and Jaden actually joined in and helped decorated the halls by drawing a random doodle here and there with some eyeliner he borrowed from Carly. But he made sure not to do it when teachers and staff weren't around. There were also multiple parties held every night in almost every dorm. That was something Yugi and Yusei could've done without.

"I can't sleep with all this noise!" Yugi yelled over to Yusei above the noise from a huge party next door. It was especially unbearable since the party was being held in the dorm to the right; which was the side that Yugi had.

"Come over here! It's a bit more bearable!" Yusei hollered back. Yugi climbed out of his bed and into Yusei's. He buried himself under the covers, resting his head against Yusei's chest and listened to his heartbeat instead of the noise in the other dorm. Meanwhile, Yusei stroked Yugi's hair softly, hoping to lull the shorter teen. Thankfully for Yugi, and to the relief of Yusei, it worked. So every night, that's how the two slept through multiple parties and seemingly undying noise.

"So..." Bakura asked Yugi as they sat down at one of the rather empty tables to eat lunch. It was just them for now while everyone else got their lunch.

"So...?" Yugi asked.

"Have you done anything yet?"

"Done what?"

"You know..." Bakura hinted, smirking. Yugi shook his head as he took a drink of his soda.

"Sex." Bakura said plain as day. Yugi almost choked.

"W-what?" Yugi asked incredulously. Bakura sighed and shook his head.

"Well you're obviously still a virgin. I guess that answers that question..." he said. Yugi blushed.

"Why... do you even want to know? Isn't that just between me and Yusei?"

"I was just curious."

"Who put you up to it? Jaden?"

"No. I said I was only curious."

"Why?" Yugi asked. They were silent for a few moments as they just looked at each other.

"What am I not allowed to ask?" Bakura answered. Yugi stopped and thought for a moment.

"I don't know! I don't know anything about how this relationship stuff works... much less... sex..."

"Well that's pretty obvious." Yugi looked at Bakura quizzically.

"But you're doing quite well with just a relationship."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that you're still a virgin."

"Are you making fun of me for it?"

"Sort of. I mean come on. Not even Ryou is still a virgin." Bakura smirked.

"Well yeah. Look who he has as a boyfriend." Yugi shot back. Bakura grimaced.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're sex crazed. It's obvious." Yugi said in a mocking tone. Bakura smirked.

"At least I get some."

"And?"

"And what if Yusei is ready to move forward? He'll eventually become impatient."

"Will not!"

"Will too. I guarantee it." Bakura said. Yugi glared at him, but it soon faded as he considered something. What if Bakura was right? Would Yusei leave him then? Yugi looked down at him food, suddenly not hungry.

"No! I told you, me and Jesse have saved up enough money that we're gonna go somewhere together." Jaden said, walking up to the table as he talked to Jack, Yusei, and Ryou.

"For how long?" Jack asked.

Jaden shrugged. "For as long as we can."

"Sounds cool." Ryou told him, sitting down next to Bakura. Jack sat on the other side of Bakura, Carly sitting next to Jack. Jaden sat on one side of Yugi while Yusei sat on the other. Yusei looked over to Yugi.

"You okay?" he asked, wrapping an arm around Yugi's waist. Yugi nodded and stood up.

"Yeah there's something I, uh, have to do." Yugi said, walking off in another direction. He needed a little time to think. As he left, Bakura watched Yugi walk away with uncertainty clouded around him and Yusei watched him with a worried look. He turned to Bakura.

"What did you say to him?" he asked calmly. He wouldn't get mad... yet.

"Nothing really." Bakura replied. Yusei glared icily at him before getting up and walking after Yugi. Ryou only sighed. He knew exactly what Bakura had said to Yugi.
