Recap:
"I'll rather room with the brat." He stated.
"What?" Yami and Tea glared at him.
"I'm not sleeping in that room."
"Why not?" Tea's eyes narrowed, a hiss that Yami for some reason found insanely attractive yet terrorizing, entered her voice.
"Theirs only one bed." Kaiba deadpanned. "It was obviously meant for you two lovebirds." Tea and Yami's faces bursted into bright flames of embarrassment.
"Oh well then...you two can sleep in my room, and we'll sleep in that room." Blue proposed.
"Uh…excellent idea Blue…" Tea complied, face still red as she grabbed Blue's hand, kissing Yami on the cheek quickly, before rushing into the room with Blue.
Eyes wide, Yami's hand slowly touched the cheek Tea had just kissed. His face burned brighter if that was possible. With a forlorn sign, he and Kaiba took a step into Blue's room. Gazing around at all the fluffy, girly, pink cuteness that filled the room, simultaneously they both winced.
"This is gonna kill our man pride…" Yami muttered thoughts of Joey, Tristan, sweet Yugi and Ryou, laughing at him when they discover that he's staying in a pink, frilly room…and Bakura... Yami cringed already imagining all the horrible things Bakura will say to him.
"For once Mutou…I have to agree with you…"
A maid knocking on the door saying breakfast was ready was what awoke Yami. Groggily, he got out of Blue's pink frilly bed and made his way to the bathroom, cursing Kaiba in his mind for taking the baby blue room...it was better than the pink frilly bed. Getting out of the bathroom, Yami ran into a scowling Kaiba. "Watch where your going."
"Kaiba..." Yami's eyes narrowed. "As long as we are roommates I suggest we try to get along."
Kaiba scoffed. "I'm going to solve this problem today. We won't be roommates for long." Scowling, Kaiba slammed the bathroom door closed. Yami sighed, rotating his shoulders, trying to lesson the tension he felt running through his body. Rooming with Kaiba was a stressful challenge, and the tension in the room was so thick, you could cut it with a knife...Shaking his head, Yami quickly made his way out of the room, wanting to escape Kaiba's presence as fast as possible.
Closing the door behind him, Yami sighed, feeling the tension in his muscles lessoning. The thought of would Blue and Tea allow him to room in the room with them on the floor, just so he could escape the atmosphere around Kaiba entered his mind. Probably not...Moving towards their door, he knocked. Leaning in, he pressed his ear against the door, wondering if they were still sleeping. His eyes widened as he heard laughter, and laughter, and more laughter.
Knocking again, he waited. On getting no response, his hand moved towards the knob. Slowly he turned it and opened the door a crack. Peeping in, he saw Blue running around, chasing Kuribou who had ribbons in his hair, Tea sitting contently, Indian-style, on the larger than life bed, laughing. Tea glanced, her laughter dying as she saw Yami.
Embarrassment flickering through Yami in an unusual wave, he raised his hand in hello. A soft smile graced Tea's face as she waved. Smiling, Yami carefully stepped in, closing the door behind him. "Come on Kuribou! Let me put another ribbon in your hair!" Blue yelled, a yellow ribbon flying behind her.
Walking over to the bed, Yami smiled, his hands slithering into his pockets. "Good Morning Tea. Did you sleep well?" Tea smiled and nodded her head.
"I did. What about you? How was it rooming with Kaiba?" Laughter was evident in her voice, and Yami's face scrunched up.
"Difficult."
"I can imagine." Tea laughed, her joyful laugh, soothing the tension right out of Yami's body. "The two biggest rivals in the history of Dueling rooming together. I'm amazed your in one piece." Yami gave her a half smile that sent Tea's heart fluttering.
Glancing away from Kuribou Blue's eyes brightened when she saw Yami. "Yami!" Blue happily stated, running over and jumping on him, sending him sprawling onto the bed, onto Tea. "You survived! I thought you and Kaiba would destroy each other."
Tea laughed, at Yami's shocked face as Blue hugged him. Giggling, Tea leaned in, her hand landing on his shoulder, as she pecked him on the cheek. Yami's face turned red as he wrapped an arm around her, drawing her into his chest, laughter finally resounding from his voice as he hugged them both. "I see no faith exists in me..."
"Nope!" Tea and Blue giggled. Yami smiled, a feeling of family filling him to the core as he held them both. As Blue got up to continue to chase Kuribou, Yami could see some of Tea in her. Glancing at Tea, in his arms, and looking around the room he stopped, feeling as if years were passing them by, and for a moment...he felt...as if he was really alive and living his life with Tea...and Blue and Kuribou changed into a little boy and girl...his children...with Tea. Shaking his head, he broke out of that very strange vision he imagined. Something in this room was really messing with his head...right?
"We better go" Yami stuttured out, his heart tightning in his chest, as he hastily got up. "We don't want to be late for breakfast," he quickly explained seeing the hurt in Tea's eyes as she stared up at him. A forced smile on her face, she nodded, calling Blue's attention to get ready, the Kuriboh disappearing as it led them out of the room and down the hall, leading them to the dining room. Why did he pull away? Tea thought sadly as she made her way down the hall. I thought he was comfortable...and happy...
"Tea! Tea!" Tristan shouted upon seeing them enter the dining room. "Help me! Keep Joey away from me!" He shouted running to hide behind her. Looking up, Tea raised an eyebrow as Joey gave Tristan the death glare, foam basically coming out of his mouth.
"How dare you room with my sister, ya pervert!"
"No Joey! It's not like that!" Serenity shouted, trying to calm Joey down.
"Yeah Joey! It's not like that!" Tristan shouted, gulping as Joey moved towards him. "Yugi! Yami! Someone help me out here!"
"Joey..." Ryou piped up from the table. "Tristan's right, Joey. He was assigned to that room. It's not like he could switch."
"Joseph calm down." Mai sternly spoke, eyeing him from her seat. "And get your ass over here." Joey growled at Tristan, pointing his fingers from his eye to Tristan 'I'm watching you' before slinking away to sit by Mai.
"What just happen?" Yugi asked Rebecca.
"Mai calmed Joey down..."
"But...he never does what she says..."
"I guess spending the night in the same room changed their relationship." Rebecca shrugged, grabbing a piece of bread, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Yugi. "Like us." She smiled. Yugi's face turned beat red.
"What happened between you two?" Yami questioned going over to sit next to Yugi, Tea following him like an obedient puppy.
"We played duel monsters..." Yugi smiled. "Until dawn..."
"And I fell asleep so Yugi had to cover me." Rebecca smiled looking at Yugi with adoration. Yugi laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head, as he moved his seat slightly away from Rebecca, feeling embarassed. Rebecca just moved closer again.
"So who did you two room with?" Ryou asked, curiously, Bakura glaring at him as he stopped him from stealing Yami's pancakes.
"Oh well uh..." Yami wasn't exactly sure what to say. He really didn't want to say, especially with Bakura just sitting right in front of Tea. Wait! Why was Bakura sitting in front of Tea. Wasn't Ryou sitting there before? He better not try anything or I'll...
Yami's thoughts were broken by Blue bouncing over happily, a bowl of cereal in her hands. "Oh he was roomed with Tea," Blue said, overhearing Ryou's question, as she took a seat next to Tea.
"You roomed with Tea!" Yugi repeated, eyes wide, his face turning redder than ever. His outburst caught everyone's attention and the same phrase repeated and repeated and repeated all over the room.
"And then you were worry about me and Serenity!" Tristan complained to Joey. "It's them two you should be worried about!"
"Really then?" A strange smile that made Yami and Tea feel uncomfortable crossed Bakura's face. "So I can assume you had a good night sleep...that is of course... assuming you found time to sleep..." Yami and Tea's faces turned beat red.
Before they could respond, Blue beat them to it. "Oh no!" She said shaking her head. "They were suppose to room together, but me and Tea ended up rooming together."
"Why?" Everyone asked.
"Was the Spirit too afraid of being in the same room with her?" Bakura laughed, cruelly, leaning his chair back.
"Oh no. It's because I had to room with Kaiba and-"
"You had to room with who!" Bakura shouted, a hiss that made him sound like a cat come out of his mouth, his hair standing up like a cats too. That same protective feeling washed over him.
"Kaiba?" Blue cocked her head to the side. "Do you have a problem hearing Bakura?" she asked innocently. Speaking of the devil, Kaiba himself, entered the room, his stride his regular confident, arrogant, rich kid 'I'm better than you' walk.
"You!" Bakura hissed, glaring daggers at Kaiba who took a seat next to Blue after seeing that it was the only seat available.
"What?" Kaiba, bored, asked.
"How dare you!"
"What?" Kaiba repeated, scowling.
"How dare you room with her!" Bakura spat out. "She's just a child you, you..." Bakura growled, getting up to tower over Kaiba.
"I don't know what your talking about but you better watch your tongue" Kaiba hissed, standing up as well.
"But me and Yami switched" Blue spoke, eyebrows raised as she stared at Bakura and Kaiba. "So Yami roomed with Kaiba in my room and I roomed with Tea, in her room."
"What!" Bakura froze, before a large smile appeared on his face, as he quickly sat down and started bawling in laughter. "You shared a room with Kaiba, Spirit?" He laughed and laughed, hitting Ryou on the back. "This is rich! This has made my day!"
Kaiba and Yami glared at everyone in the table(minus Blue and Tea) as they laughed. "I bet you were pained having to give up your room with Tea for this!" Bakura barked pointing at Kaiba before laughing again.
"Shut it Thief!" Kaiba and Yami shouted.
"Your even similar now!" Yami and Kaiba glared. "What else did you two share?" The doors opened as Pegasus walked in, Cecilia hanging off his arm, maids running around him with all types of different foods, stopping the retaliation Yami and Kaiba were about to spew out.
"How was your night?" Pegasus charmingly asked, helping Cecilia sit down.
"You need to give me my own room" Kaiba spoke, glaring harshly at Pegasus.
"What?"
"I can not room with him or the brat." Kaiba stated, crossing his arms, motioning with his head towards Yami and Blue.
"What? You mean Yami didn't sleep...I mean room with Tea?"
"No."
"So he roomed with you?"
"In my room!" Blue added. "And I slept in Tea's room." Pegasus mouth fell open before he started to giggle.
"This isn't funny Pegasus!" Yami spoke, his voice deepning with the seriousness of the matter. Tea blushed at the deep regalness of it, glancing at him admiringly. Even when he was dead serious, his voice could send her to paradise.
"It kind of is..." Yugi whispered to Yami, giggling. Yami sighed, downcasting his head, his bangs blocking his eyes, for the first time in his spirit life, humilation was running deeply through him, making him want to go hide in a hole. His humiliation lessoned slightly though, when he felt Tea's hand grab his under the table, giving it a comforting squeeze.
"Well that was unexpected. But I'm afraid I can't..."
"Yes you can." Kaiba glared. "
"We'll look into it..." Ceclia spoke, a twinkle in her eyes as she looked at Pegasus. "You'll have to room with each other again though tonight. The soonest arrangements possible will be for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow or nothing." Cecilia glared. Kaiba and Yami shivered. An angry woman was a very, very, bad sign. They nodded, agreeing.
"Well in that case. Let's get right down to business." Pegasus happily stated as Cecilia pecked him on the lips before leaving the room. "Let's discuss the first photoshoot we'll be doing today for the calendar: January."
