Coel – I thought you just put that comment on your profile to not expect any updates for a while?

Heva – Nope, I just put a comment up to not expect any regular updates.

Coel – Ok that makes more sense.

Heva – I'm sorry that this has taken me a while to upload but I just finished writing it and fanfiction has decided that it doesn't want to open on my computer so I can't upload it. Grrr!

Coel – That's always the way things happen.

Time passes

Heva – Yay it's working again so here you go enjoy the new chapter.


"So how's everything going?" asked Tea as she sat down next to the others in the cafeteria.

"Well, Kaiba ignored my advances on him at the gate when he arrived, and they were acting rather close when I saw them later on," said Mai as she started eating her salad.

"They certainly seemed happy together in the labs. They'll be a really cute couple." Ryou sighed contentedly as he leaned against Bakura's arm.

"And it'll be nice to have someone on my side when you and Yuugi gang up on me," commented Bakura.

"Hey, what makes you think he'll take your side?" Ryou asked as he mock glared at his boyfriend.

"Because he'll soon learn that you two will also gang up on him," Bakura pointed out as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"He might not turn out to be such an annoying jerk as you are."

"Please don't get into a fight today. I would actually like to eat my lunch without having to avoid being hit by whatever you're throwing." Tea glared at them.

"You always ruin our fun," Ryou complained as he returned to eating his lunch.

"It's obvious that Seto cares for Yuugi, but I don't know if Yuugi will be able to put up with his jealousy. If you'd seen the way he was acting after he saw the photo we took of us down by the river with Yuugi and Sam." Serenity shook her head. "He looked so jealous, I think he's going to be really over protective and I don't know whether Yuugi will be able to live with that for long. It'd drive me mad."

"Yeah, but sis, he obviously really cares for Yuug so he'd probably be willing to try and relax this jealousy thing if Yuug asked him to," Joey pointed out.

"Did you actually just think of that, Joey?" Mai asked, surprise obvious in her voice.

"He read it off an article in a magazine," Tristan supplied.

"That makes more sense. Is everything still ok about tonight?"

"Of course, I'll pick you up from the gate at six."

"Aw, so you two are really going out for a meal tonight?" asked Tea.

"Joey's booked us into a nice restaurant for dinner," Mai told her whilst grinning.

"Yeah, now we just have to hope nothing happens to ruin it like last time," Joey said in a fed up voice. He was still annoyed about the incident but was successfully putting it behind him now. A problem with one of the conveyer belts had been spotted but it was thought to be a routine glitch meaning that it shouldn't take long to fix. Yuugi hadn't been in the office when the call came so Joey had been forced to deal with it himself. He'd discovered quite quickly that it wasn't the simple tear that they'd originally thought and had called Yuugi in on the walkie talkie to help him out. They'd finished working on it and were starting the system up again when Joey had realised they hadn't fully secured part of the runner system. Both him and Yuugi had ended up in the emergency ward for the next couple of days, successfully ruining the weekend away him and Mai had planned. This dinner was the first thing he'd planned with Mai since then, which he knew had upset her a bit but she, thankfully, had never complained. Joey shook himself out of his daze to see Yuugi and Seto approaching the table.

"Hi, everyone." A chorus of 'hi, Yuugi' and a few 'hi, Seto's were the response as the two sat down next to Ryou and Bakura.

"So what have you two been up to?" asked Mai with a suggestive smile on her face. This caused Yuugi to blush and shift in his seat uncomfortably, whilst an ever so slight smile appeared on Seto's face.

"We, um, went to the environmental department, and the labs after I told Seto how the station works."

"It's all been extremely interesting. I didn't realise so much went on here," Seto supplied as Yuugi stumbled over his words. He placed a hand on Yuugi's shoulder, meaning to help him calm down but caused his blush to deepen instead. As Yuugi took his first bite out of his sandwich a beep sounded from the walkie talkie Ryou had on the table.

"Hello?" asked Ryou as he picked it up.

"Hi, it's Ray here. Is that you Ryou?"

"Yep, I'm eating lunch."

"Well, one of the sensors has just gone down, again. Do you mind taking a look at it?"

"Ok, I'll just get going."

"Take one of the engineers with you and fix it whilst you're at it."

"Fine." Ryou switched off the walkie talkie. "You coming, Yuugi?" he asked as he got up.

"I guess so," he replied as he stood up, thankful he'd got sandwiches today as he could take them with him.

"Once me and Seto have finished eating I'll take him back to the labs and you can meet us there," suggested Bakura as the two made to leave.

"Thanks, is that ok with you, Seto?"

"Of course," he didn't really think he had a choice except to agree.

"Ok, lets go then."


"What do you think of Yuugi then?" asked Tea once Yuugi and Ryou had left the canteen. Seto was surprised by her bluntness but remained unshaken.

"I think he is a very nice, caring person."

"She meant do you want him for a quick fuck or a relationship," Bakura supplied, forever blunt and to the point.

"Bakura there's no need to use language like that," complained Tea.

"Ok, Seto do you mind me using language like that to describe your intentions with Yuugi?" Seto had a small smile on his face from Bakura's actions, but shook his head in reply.

"Nope, my intentions are for a relationship if that's what Yuugi wants."

"Aw, that's so sweet," Mai commented. "Don't you think its sweet, Joey?" she asked hugging the blond.

"Yeah, sweet," he said carefully before turning to Seto. "One thing though, if you ever hurt Yuugi I will seriously hurt you back."

"That goes for me too," Tristan added.

"I think that goes for everyone," Serenity said looking along the table.

"You need to ask him out now," Tea reminded everyone.

"That's not hard, just go up to Yuugi and ask him."

"Joey, you're an idiot. Seto needs something more romantic." Mai commented, glaring at Joey whilst she spoke.

"How about a bunch of flowers and chocolates?" Joey asked.

"Is that the only romantic thing you can think of?" retorted Mai.

"Other than a meal at a candle lit restaurant, yeah."

"Just ignore him, Seto," Tea told him. "Joey has no mental abilities what so ever. You should ask Yuugi to go out with you by … ah that's a good idea. Offer him a lift home tonight and ask him out on his doorstep. It'd be so cute." Tea sighed in happiness as she imagined something like she'd just described happening to her and a random actor.

"That's just stupid, why would Yuugi need a lift home? He's got a car, Tea; and that is one of the sappiest stories I've ever heard. It's like some corny love story." Joey gave her a look of disgust as he thought about it.

"Joey don't insult chick flicks," Mai said accusingly.

"Fine, but to even consider that idea, Yuugi would have to be too tired to drive himself home or something. I guess we could put something in his coffee, then Seto could drive him home."

"Or to the nearest hospital because you decided to drug him. Joey try thinking before talking, it'd make a nice change," Mai told him.

"Fine," Joey retorted in an annoyed voice.

"We ought to be getting back to work, I'll see you guys later," Serenity told them as she stood up.

"That's a good point, bye for now." Tea stood up, followed by Mai and Tristan. Joey, Bakura and Seto said their good byes as the others left.

"Do you want me to switch Yuugi's coffee to decaff for the rest of the day? He's tired enough already to be easily persuaded not to drive, only the caffeine's kept him on his feet today." Joey told them once the others were out of earshot.

"Sounds a good idea," Bakura commented. "We ought to move too, I've got slacking off at my desk to catch up on."

"Ok, I'll see you two later probably, have fun on the rest of your tour, Seto," Joey said as he stood up.

"Bye, Joey," Seto replied, his opinion of the guy was beginning to change. It was easy to see now that Mai had him wrapped around his little finger and his mental capabilities were laughable, but he still wasn't that annoying. Admittedly Seto still didn't like him or have any plans to spend time with Joey, but he still wasn't that bad.

"Let's go then, bye Joey." Bakura stood up, showing that this time they really were leaving. "You want to get a coffee on the way to the labs, Seto? I think we have a fair amount to discuss." An evil, yet suggestive, grin crossed his face.
