Yugi cautiously approached his room mate, clearing his throat "Yami?"

There was no movement from the figure that was lying on the bed reading a comic, so he tried again "Yami"

Still nothing.

"Yaaaaaami"

Oh, so sounding like a whining child got his attention, Yami actually lowered his comic and looked at him, "What is it brat?"

"Tonight could you-" Yugi trailed off already anticipating the answer. Apparently he took too long thinking as Yami grunted impatiently and sat up "could I what?"

"I want to watch this film-"

Yami raised an eyebrow "Horror?"

"Yeah-"

Yami scoffed and flung himself back down on the bed "No"

Knew it "Yaaaaami-"

"Noooooo"

Yugi was a minute away from stomping his foot in frustration "I want to watch it"

"Watch it then"

Now Yugi was well aware about his appearance, he had grown up being teased and tormented about his 'cuteness' and although some pushed it too far, others kept it light natured. And it was with those kinds of people that Yugi learnt how to use his cuteness to his advantage. Although he didn't seem aware of it, Yami fell into the latter category. So Yugi looked at the floor, bit his lip and muttered in a quiet voice "I'll be too scared to watch it alone"

He kept his gaze to the floor until a rough hand began to ruffle his hair...sucker.

"Now was that so hard to admit brat?"

Yugi glared, okay he'd only go so far "Don't call me a brat"

"But you're such a bra-"

Yugi smacked at the wrist on the top of his head which Yami returned with a yank turning their conversation into one of their fights…which continued until Marik kicked their door down (something that only added to the carnage that they had caused themselves) in order to get them to stop.

…

…

Waking up in the same bed as Yugi was something that Yami was getting used to. He wasn't sure how it kept happening, they both went to sleep in their own beds, however he always woke up entwined with Yugi.

Yami felt a pang shoot through him as the boy snuffled and cuddled into him. Despite his instincts telling him to pull the boy closer and go back to sleep, Yami thought fuck this and got up.

Yugi woke when he felt the bed beneath him shift, he opened his eyes in a squint to see Yami making his way to the bathroom. Yugi knew from past experience that Yami wasn't going to come back out any time soon, so he felt no need to feign sleep (as he used to do when this first began) and rolled onto his back. He didn't know how this kept happening.

Normally Yugi would get ready for class in the time Yami took in the bathroom, and snuck out before he saw him, so they'd never actually talked about this. All he could do was wait until...

"Brat"

...until Yami came out of the bathroom. Yugi gulped and offered an awkward smile "Morning"

"Get out of my bed"

Yugi quickly jumped out of the bed and moved to quickly go past Yami but-

"Wash my sheets today would you"

Yugi turned back to face him with a look of annoyance "Seriously?"

Yami gave him a blank expression, a cold one that scared Yugi slightly so it took him a second to respond and even then he was annoyed to find his voice shook.

"Well...why should I wash it? If you're that disgusted you should-"

"You're the one who made them all wet with your terrified sobs the least you could do-"

"I didn't cry!"

Yami smirked "Brat, you cried"

Despite the annoying smirk Yugi resisted the urge to punch him in the face. Any sacrifice to not see that blank look again. He even washed the sheets.

…

…

"Where's your other half?"

Yugi rolled his eyes and shoved past Bakura making his way into his and Ryous room "Not funny"

"Speak for yourself Runt-"

"Good evening Ryou how are you?" Yugi said firmly cutting Bakura off, Ryou gave him a gentle grin as Bakura spluttered at the nerve "I'm fine Yugi, how are you?"

"Very well"

"How are things?"

Yugi was finding it hard not to laugh as Bakura desperately tried to regain their attention as Ryou passed Yugi a drink not sparing his room mate even a glance "Oh you know, one does what one must"

"GUYS QUIT IT" Bakura yelled stomping his foot, making Yugi burst into laughter and Ryou swat him over the head lightly passing him his own drink "Behave yourself"

"But kitten he-"

Yugi stopped laughing at tossed a smirk in Ryous direction "Yeah kitten...I was mean"

"He interrupted me again!"

"Kitten I didn't mean too I-" And with that Ryou smacked them both round the head with a calm "Stop it or I will throw you out the window"

Both froze, muttering an apology only too aware that Ryou would do it if they pushed him far enough. As Bakura walked off muttering as he curled on his bed, Ryou looked at Yugi carefully "Where is Yami?"

Yugis laugh faded as the thought of his room mate came into his head. Just like how waking up in the same bed was becoming a pattern, Yami was spending more and more free time outside the dorms. Presumably with women, he always smelled like perfume and...well Yugi didn't want to think about how he noticed a change in Yamis smell but the point was that he'd gone off to fuck some random women and he'd return once again and end up in bed with him.

Now that Yugi thought about it that was really wrong...

"Yugi?"

Yugi went to reply but Bakura decided to take revenge for the earlier interruptions "He's gone off to find some chick, right Runt?"

Ryou frowned slightly as Yugi just shrugged the comment off "Has he?"

"Probably, what do I care?"

"How often does this happen?"

"I don't know, every other day I guess...he'll be fine hanging with me one night then the next he disappears...but he's fine again the next day. Not that it bothers me I have my own life-"

As if to back up his point his phone rang, flashing Jou on the screen. He answered it whilst motioning to the others that he was just going to be in the hall.

"Hey Jou"

"Yug, you free tomorrow?"

"I guess why?"

"Just thought we could hang out or something?"

"Sounds good to me"

"You're not going to bring the asshole room-mate are you?"

Yugi chuckled "No Jou"

"Good, tomorrow then normal place"

"Got it, see you then"

"Bye, Kaiba says hi by the way"

"I can't imagine Kaiba saying hi"

"Well in his own way he did...see you"

Yugi hung up with a smile which quickly disappeared when he opened the door to see Ryou being pinned down by a shirtless Bakura.

Ryou went bright red and went to offer an explanation but Yugi just held up a hand "No...don't make this worse" and with the he closed the door to Bakura's loud laughter, and a thud that Yugi assumed was Ryou pushing him off of him and onto the floor. A thought that made Yugi smile to himself.

…

…

Yugi had been sleeping until he heard the door close behind Yami as he made his return. Though he could have probably smelt him before he heard him, he stank of alcohol. Yugi rolled his eyes and rolled over deciding to leave the drunkard to it. He heard him shuffle his way to his bed and fall onto it.

Yugi was slowly becoming irritated with his room mate, who couldn't seem to be comfortable as he kept turning and shuffling and being god damn loud about it! Without moving Yugi spoke "Go to sleep would you"

He was too annoyed to laugh at the slurred "M'not comfy"

"I don't give a shit, sort yourself out and go to sleep"

Yugi was not expecting Yamis solution to be climbing into bed with him, wrapping an arm around his waist and sticking his head in his hair murmuring "zats be'er"

Yugi wanted to shove him away, he knew he should shove him away. He stank of booze and girls and Yugi didn't like it.

He especially didn't like the warm feeling of being held by Yami, the warmth that soothed him back into a calm undisturbed sleep.

…

…

Yami woke up slowly, a familiar ache in his head reminding him of what he did last night. He sat up quickly, groaning as he did.

"Regret drinking that much?"

Yami looked up to see Yugi leaning on the door frame of the bathroom watching him, rather then complain about how shit he felt, Yami adopted a smug look "Nothing to regret brat"

Yugi scoffed and moved away grabbing his jacket "Right, whatever. I'll see you later"

"Where are you going?"

When he received no answer, Yami jumped up and quickly moved so that he got to the door the same time Yugi did, slamming his hand against it, keeping it shut, and trapping Yugi between the door and his chest "I asked where you were going brat"

"Out"

"I want more detail than that"

Yugi turned to look up at Yami with a glare "Oh because your post it notes of 'leave the door unlocked' are so descriptive"

Yami smirked and unconsciously lifted a hand to cup Yugis face ignoring how soft it was "You know very well what I'm doing when I leave at night brat, I didn't realise you wanted all the dirty details"

Yugi blushed and slapped the hand away making Yami chuckle "Don't fuck around that's not what I meant-"

"You sure? A virgin like you must be curious"

Yugi was too shocked to reply to that, he tried to think of something, anything to say but the opening and closing of his mouth only made Yamis chuckle continue. He could feel his heart beating painfully hard as Yami raised his hand once again and traced his cheekbones and lips with a rough thumb. His heartbeat was so loud he almost didn't hear Yamis next sentence "I don't think you're ready for that brat...there are a few stages that come first, for instance-"

And with that Yugi found himself being kissed by Yami Atem.
