Atem's Plan, Learn How To Date?
"Wow, there really so many people opening stands here." Atem breathed in awe when they arrived in the place where the Festival was held a few days later, "I wonder if there would be some place selling Honey Bread here . . .".
"Honey Bread?" Yugi asked with a raised eyebrow, "If you want Bread with Honey, you can just say so, Big Brother, I can prepare it for you at home".
"Really?" Atem asked in surprise, Yugi nodded cutely at him, "Please get me some when we got back then".
Yugi smiled and nodded again, "Sure." He said cheerfully before looking around when he heard a faint sound calling out to him.
"Hey! Yugi! Yami!"
Yugi spotted the source and grinning widely, "Hey, guys!" He greeted the group of people not too far from him.
Jou, Anzu, and Ryou, along with another a girl with auburn hair and a pair of reddish brown colored eyes walked over to them, "Hello, Yugi." Anzu greeted him, she then looked at the others, "It's rare that you would come to this kind of place, Kaiba, Mokuba".
"Yugi black mailed me." Seto said simply with an emotionless face and his arms folded across his chest.
"Since Seto-nii agreed to come, I want to come too." Mokuba explained cheerfully, "Hello, Shizuka." He greeted the girl with auburn hair, "How is your eyes?".
Shizuka, Jou's Little Sister, had just undergo an eye operation to cure her blind eyes, she had been staying in the hospital for the past month. "All better." She said with a soft and sweet voice, "I can see everything clearly now." She added with a bright smile.
"That's good." Yugi said happily.
Ryou looked at them then blinked at Atem, "Huh, Yami? Since when you grow taller and have tan skin?" He asked in confusion.
Yami chuckled and raised his hand, "Ryou, I'm here." He said in amusement, he found it amusing that Ryou, who was normally so observant with everything that had been going on around him, could mistook Atem for Yami.
Ryou opened his mouth and blinked rapidly as he looked at Yami and Atem back and forth, "Wow, I didn't know you have an Older Brother, Yami." He commented once he get passed his shock.
Jou blinked as he looked at them as well, "Strange, it should be impossible . . ." He mumbled in confusion before looking at Yami, "You said you grew up in the orphanage and your family had passed away, how come you suddenly have an Older Brother?" He asked curiously.
"It's just a coincidence that we looks so alike with each other." Yami told him with a smile before looking at Yugi, telling him to introduce Atem to the rest through his gaze.
Yugi caught the message, "Guys." He called them, they looked at him, "This person here is my friend from Egypt, his name is Atem." He said as he gestured for Atem, who nodded at them in greetings.
"Oh, I see." Jou said in realization, he had heard about Atem from Yugi, he kind of forgot about it. "Nice to meet you, Atem." He said as he offered a hand, "My name is Jounouchi Katsuya, but the other calls me Jou".
Atem accepted the hand and shake it, "Nice to meet you as well." He said in Japanese, it was a bit off since he didn't used with speaking in Japanese yet.
Anzu waved at him, "Hey, I'm Mazaki Anzu, please call me Anzu." She said with a cheerful smile.
Atem smiled to him as well, "Hello, Anzu." He greeted her with a nod.
"Bakura Ryou." Ryou said as he bowed a bit to Atem, "I'm sorry for mistaking you as Yami earlier." He added with a gentle smile.
Atem nodded, "It's alright." He answered shortly, "I can understand if you mistaken us with each other".
"I'm Shizuka." Shizuka said next as she nodded at him, "I'm Katsuya-niichan's Little Sister".
Atem nodded back at her, "You are a sweet girl, Shizuka." He commented with a smile.
"Hey, don't hit on my Sister." Jou said with an annoyed growl.
Atem blinked at him before looking at Yugi, "I didn't hit her, right?" He asked using Egyptian language with confusion writter all over his face.
"Well, Older Brother." Yugi began in Egyptian as well, so that the rest, except for Yami, wouldn't understand what he was saying, "What Jou mean by that was he didn't want you to try and get too close with Shizuka, he kind of protective over his Little Sister and want to make sure the guy who want to date Shizuka is a good one".
"I see." Atem said in understanding before looking at Jou and smiled, "I only said that she is a sweet girl because she really is a sweet girl, but I'm not interested in dating your Sister or anything since I already have a Fiancee, so please don't worry about it." He said in explanation, but in a blunt way that earning a chuckle from Shizuka and for Jou to widen his eyes in surprise and a bit of embarrassment.
"You are way too blunt." Jou mumbled under his breath and looked at Yami, "So, did you come here alone, or did you come here with Yugi?" He asked with a teasing grin.
"So what if he come with us?" Seto asked with his eyes narrowed, "It's not your business either way, Mutt".
"Who are you calling a Mutt?!" Jou growled angrily.
"You, of course." Seto retorted calmly, "You just growled at me, so you just proof yourself to be a Mutt".
"Why you?!" Jou raised his fist in anger and ready to hit him but Ryou and Anzu hold him back.
"Hit me and I will sue you, Mutt." Seto said with a smug smirk on his face.
Atem blinked as he looked at the two back and fort before a mischievous smirk formed by his lips, It seems that the situation is better than what I expected, He thought to himself before silently moved so he was beside Mokuba.
"Mokie, want to help me a bit?" He whispered quietly to the raven haired boy, Mokuba raised an eyebrow questioningly, he smirked again and whispered his plan to the boy, who then smirked back at him in answer. Mokuba winked at him to show that he agreed to the plan, Atem winked back at him before he silently walked to his previous place, in between Yugi and Yami.
"What were you talking with him about?" Yami whispered to him curiously.
"About something that would help you." Atem whispered back with a wink, causing Yami to blush as he caught on with what Atem was hinting at.
"Hey, Yami." Mokuba called out loud to him, Yami looked at Mokuba and raised an eyebrow, wondering what Atem and Mokuba was planning, "You kind of the type who are famous among girls, have you gone into a date before?" He asked in a curious manner, as if he didn't plan it at all and just simply want to know.
Yami blinked and shook his head, playing along with the plan, whatever it was. "No, I haven't." He answered with wondering tone, "I'm not into girls anyway. Why did you ask?".
"Really, you are gay?" Mokuba asked with feign surprise, "Yugi is gay as well, you know?".
"I know, he told me that he had a Boyfriend before." Yami answered with a nod, he really wondered what was the plan about.
"Yami, could it be because you are shy and didn't know how to date that you never ask anyone out?" Atem asked as he plaid his part, Yami blushed and didn't answer to the question, Atem grinned and looked at Yugi, "Hey, Yugi, why don't you teach him about a date? You can have a date with him now and let him learn from you, maybe then he would have the courage to ask the one he love out?".
Yugi frowned, "But isn't the one he love is in love with someone else?" He asked in confusion, he looked at Yami, "Didn't you said so before, Yami?".
Yami blinked as he understood the plan, "Ah, it turned out that I misunderstood the situation." He explained sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck, "I saw them together and I thought they were dating, but they are actually only a really close friends." He then smiled shyly at the boy, "I kind of trying to win him over actually." He added with a blush on his face.
"Really? That's great!" Yugi said in excitement, "Let's have a date then, I will teach you all I know so you can ask him out!".
"Eh? Serious?" Yami asked in surprise, he didn't think that Yugi would agree so easily.
"Yup!" Yugi said cheerfully, "This Festival is perfect for you to learn about a date, I will help you as best as I could!".
"Hell no!" Seto snapped at them, "Throw your little fantasy away, I won't let Yugi to have a date for that kind of reason." He said coldly.
Atem clenched his teeth as he tried not to yell at the taller man, Seto's protective side kind of reminded him of Seth. He normally would be glad that Seto cared for Yugi like that, but he was annoyed at the moment because it was his plan for Yami and Yugi to have a date. He opened his mouth to protest but someone beat him to it.
"Hey, Moneybag!" Jou, who had caught on the plan since he saw the wink Mokuba and Atem threw at each other before the raven haired boy began asking questions, yelled out to get Seto's attention. "Who do you think you are, huh? Yugi is 15, he is old enough to decide whether he want to go on a date or not!".
"Shut up, Mutt." Seto snapped back at him, "I'm his Cousin and older than him, I have a say in who he's going out with!".
Jou growled, "I said Yugi is old enough to decide for himself!" He said in annoyance.
"And would you allow Shizuka to date someone just because the other boy need to learn about a date?" Seto challenged him with a hiss.
Jou gritted his teeth, but he didn't plan on back down now, "If I know the boy is kind and would treat Shizuka gently, and Shizuka is alright to have that one date, without them doing anything like kissing and so on, I will let them." He said quickly in annoyance.
"Then, Nii-chan." Shizuka cut in with a smile on her face, "If you say so, Honda had been asking me if I want to have a date with him for some time now, and I kind of interested as well. Can I go if I won't do anything like kissing and more?" She asked sweetly, taking advantage to what Jou said to Seto.
Jou paled and sweat dropped, he didn't expected for Shizuka to ask him that, but he didn't want to take his words back now or Seto would mock him to no end. "Fine." He said with a sigh, "But I will make sure you know what you can do and not during your date experiment with him before you go, alright?" He asked sternly.
"Alright!" Shizuka said happily.
"Moron." Seto muttered under his breath.
"What did you say?!" Jou yelled at him in anger.
"I said 'Moron'." Seto told him with a smug smirk again, "Are you deaf as well now?".
During this argument, which looks to be going on forever, Atem had took Yami's arm while Mokuba took Yugi's, they pushed the two away from the group and waved them away with a wink. "Have fun." Atem whispered to them with a grin on his face.
Yugi grinned back at him while Yami smiled with a blush on his face, "Let's go." Yugi whispered to Yami and they left after Yami nodded to Yugi.
Atem and Mokuba did a high five before looking at Seto and Jou, who were still arguing about anything and everything, they looked at each other and smirked mischievously at the same time. They nodded in time with each other before silently gestured for the rest to go and left the two alone. Ryou smirked while Anzu and Shizuka chuckling silently, they nodded and walked away together, leaving Jou alone with Seto to continue their argument for as long as they want.
"Don't you dare calling me a Mutt ag- Hey! Where's the others?!" Jou gasped out in shock as he looked around, finally noticing that the others weren't around with them anymore.
Seto looked around as well before he glared at Jou, "It's all your fault." He hissed in anger.
"How the hell is this my fault?!" Jou cried out in frustration.
"If it's not because you distracted me then this wouldn't happen at all." Seto retorted coldly.
And their argument started again . . .
(AN : Let's leave them alone, shall we? ^ ^)

"Do you think Yugi and Yami will have fun today?" Mokuba asked Atem as they went to a game stand.
"I don't think they will, but I know that they will have fun today." Atem answered confidently as he looked at the prize displaid at the back of the stand, "Hey, how about I get you something? What would you like?".
"Are you good at games?" Anzu asked curiously.
"I once won against Yugi in Senet game." Atem said with a smirk, he know that Yugi was the King of Games in the current time, so he figured that it would answer their question better than any other way.
"Wait!" Ryou, Anzu, Shizuka and Mokuba gasped together, "You won against Yugi?" Ryou asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, but it was at Yugi's first try." Atem answered as he paid for the game, with the money Yugi gave him before they went to the Festival, and then took the toy gun, "Well, when we play a game against each other now, the outcome would be either I lose, Yugi lose, or a tie".
"Wow." Mokuba breathed in awe before pointing at something, "Can you get that for me then?" He asked excitedly.
"Leave it to me." Atem said simply, but with a confident smirk on his face.

"Hm, when I date with Malik, since we were kids, we mostly went to a park to walk." Yugi said as he walked side by side with Yami, "Well, we are not kids and already here, so let's enjoy ourselves." He looked around before pointing at a stand that sell out candies, "Let's get some, what do you think?".
Yami smiled at Yugi, "Sure." He said softly with a blush on his face, happy to have a date with Yugi, he would have to that Atem later for making up such a plan.
"Now, normally the man was the one who pay in a date instead of the woman, but since we are both boys, I will pay for you this time." Yugi looked at Yami with a cute cmile, "So, when you finally ask the person you love to go out with you, pay for him, okay?".
Yami's smiled widened into a grin and nodded, "Yes, I will." He promised cheerfully.
Yugi grinned back and walked together with Yami to buy the candies before going around the Festival and have fun together, and when it's near the time for the Fireworks to start, Yugi pulled Yami away from the crowd.
"You know, I love to watch Fireworks away from everyone." Yugi said softly as he pulled Yami into his favorite spot on top of a tree.
"I didn't think that you are the type to climb up a tree, Yugi." Yami commented as he settled on beside Yugi, on the highest branch of the tree.
"You can say that Atem was rubbing off on me." Yugi said with a chuckle.
"So, why do you love to watch them away from everyone?" Yami asked curiously while leaning his back on the tree.
Yugi smiled and crawled onto Yami's lap and sat there, "Because it's quiet and calm, I can watch their beauty without having to listen to people's cheering voice." He explained as he leaned his back to Yami's chest and let his head resting on Yami's shoulder.
Yami blushed and shyly wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist, "Yugi, do you think I can get the person I love to love me back?" He asked on whim, he just want to have a conversation with Yugi.
"I'm sure you can." Yugi whispered to him as his hands covered Yami's hands around his waist, "You had composed a beautiful melody for him, right? If you play it for him, I'm sure you can make him feel how deep your love to him and get him to love you back." He smiled at Yami, "Don't hesitate to show him your love and ask him out, with someone as kind and gentle like you, that person would be a big idiot to reject you".
Does that mean that you would be a big idiot if you reject me? Yami wanted to ask Yugi that, but he decide to against it and settled with smiling warmly at Yugi and nodded his head, "I'm glad you think so, Yugi".
Yugi smiled and nodded, he was happy that he was having a date with Yami at the moment, and although the reason was to let Yami learn about a date, he was planning to enjoy it as much as possible. He blinked in surprise, Why though? He asked himself wonderingly, Why am I happy and want to enjoy it all as much as possible? But he couldn't think much about it anymore because the first Firework was being launched and exploded in the sky, catching his attention immediately.
"So beautiful . . ." Yugi said with a hushed voice, his eyes softened as he looked at the Fireworks.
Yami hummed softly in agreement.
They watched the Fireworks in silence, enjoying the beautiful view as well as the company of each other. Yugi stopped watching the Fireworks after some time and looked at Yami instead, Why? He asked himself again, Why am I happy being with Yami and enjoying our 'experimental' date? He saw how serene Yami looked as he watched the Fireworks, and he suddenly wanting for Yami to look at him instead of the Fireworks. He unconsciously reached out his right hand, his body moved at the same time with his hand so he was face to face with Yami, and he cupped it on Yami's left cheek.
Yami blinked and looked back at Yugi with that same serene expression, he smiled warmly and his eyes softened as he locked eyes with Yugi, Yugi was entranced by the beautiful sight. Yami opened his mouth to ask Yugi what was wrong when Yugi leaned forward, Yugi's eyes closed slowly as his lips met with Yami, Yami's eyes widened at the contact but immediately closing them.
His left hand wrapped tightly around Yugi's waist as his right hand traveled up to rest on Yugi's shoulder, while Yugi's arms sneaked up and wrapped themselves around Yami's neck. Fireworks were distant memories, nothing but a mere background music to them as they drowned themselves into the kiss.
