Yugi closed his phone after his call with Ryou and ran his fingers through his darkened fringe. He bit his lip as he grinned when he caught a glance of himself in one of Mai's many mirrors. His eyes were still the same colour but with Mai's magic make-up tricks his features were much sharper. There wasn't any indication that he had hamster cheeks which made him grin and revealed little dimples. Kisara had managed to pin down his hair and tame it enough to but a short black wig on him. She managed to style it so that the bangs frame his face and brush over his forehead whilst she brushed the top up and to the side at a peak. He was just about to mess it up a little when Kisara called him over. "Everything alright?"
Kisara smiled gently as she handed the camcorder back to him after hitting pause. "I got a text from Seto asking me to call him about the Blue eyes he gave me. I think he wants me to do an ad for when he gets the products up and running"
"That would be sweet. Owh can you check with him to see if he got my tech report on Kuriboh for me please if you get the chance?"
"When did you send it?" She tilted her head a little with a smile still upon her face. Yugi wondered if she ever frowned a day in her life.
"Yesterday, but I just wanted confirmation nothing else just in case he gets worked up about it." Yugi rubbed his arm with his free hand. "He probably would say his work doesn't revolve around me"
Kisara placed a hand over her mouth as she tried to stifle a giggle. "That does sound like something he would say. I'll check for you, be back in a bit"
"I'm sure the boys will still be here tripping up over themselves when you get back" Yugi teased as he watched her retreating figure shake because of her giggling. He then held up the camera to record Tristan and Joey just in time to catch them fall on top of each other. He knew he had a tendency to be a klutz but those too were ridiculous. "Did you send me a postcard when you went on your trip?"
"Very funny Yug." Joey snipped as he managed to shove Tristan off of him. "Dancing is not easy you know"
Yugi bit his tongue as he walked over to Mai and held out his hands too her when he past the camcorder to Tea. "May I have this dance?"
"I thought you would never ask hon" Mai smiled proudly as she took a hold of his hand and had let him pull her to a clear area. The two boys huffed as they sat next to Tea on the couch as she held up the camcorder to record the other pair whilst she chuckled at the antics.
Yugi took lead and was able to dance a vague waltz with Mai and did a few dips here and there. Despite the height difference that was still there they managed to dance smoothly and there was a point where Mai grinned cheekily and stole the lead from Yugi and put him into a deep dip when facing the camera. Yugi just laughed since he was enjoying himself. From the upside down position he grinned at his friends. "See. That wasn't too hard"
The pair scoffed and he really wished that the camcorder was pointed at them as they were so in sync with each other that it was funny. Mai pulled Yugi back up and grinned happily though she spoke teasingly. "Wonder what Yami would be doing if he saw you dancing like that with me. Maybe I should send him a message hmm?"
Yugi blushed deeply more so than he meant to let show as he tried to get Mai's phone away from her when she had taken it out. "What no Mai! Don't!"
She cackled when she span on the spot as he ran around her jumping up to catch the phone that was still out of reach. "aww come on little Yugi, it all in good fun! He doesn't even know that you are helping me with the video. Though I did hint to him that the person I was working with would have been shy around him"
"Maaaaaai" He whined and she just laughed some more when he pouted. She leant down and kissed him on the forehead when he folded his arms over his chest. "Please don't"
"Only if I can livestream some of this stuff for atleast an hour. then I promise I won't tease him about getting to dance with you" Mai grinned down at Yugi with her hands on her hips in a confident manner.
He huffed and frowned up at her. "Fiiiine but only for an hour"
"Thanks Yugi!" She cheered as she went over to her laptop to set it up and sent a quick text to Yami to check up her livestream channel for a surprise.
After Ryou's phone call with Yugi he went back down stairs to the planning area and smiled at the sight that was awaiting him. His brother had snuck his chair closer to Malik and had his arm wrapped around the others waist loosely but with his hand on their hip as the blonde was showing him pictures of his character. When Ryou had looked over to Yami, he was smiling and looking down at his phone with fondness, He guessed that Yami must've recieved a message from Yugi already.
"Sorry for taking so long. Did I miss anything?" He sat back down at the table smiling as he looked over his planner and marked down a weekend for him and Yugi to have.
"Nothing much. We were just planning out our Cairo trip" Yami grinned as he spoke when he placed his phone down. "As well as which conventions we have been invited too. Have you been to one before at all?"
"I had been planning too but I hadn't gotten round to it." He blew his bangs out from his face when they got into his eyes. "The course I am on and the studying for it has kept me rather busy. Same with my free running classes"
"Fancy coming with us too one?" Malik smiled as he clasped his hands together. "we'll be at panels and signing areas most of the time but you can still go around and have fun"
"Can bring a friend along with you for company" Bakura smirked as he added "We'll pay for the both of you as long as you two do some camera work for us"
"Would that really be alright with you three?" Ryou didn't really mind doing camera work and he had a great idea on who to take with him. The trio smiled and nodded. "Great then I would love to go"
"Just let us know about your friend and we'll sort things out for you two. You done with your planner?" Ryou nodded and handed it over to Malik as did the other two. "Sweet. Okay I'll have these redrafted and sent to your calendars as well as stick a master one up on our board asap. Meeting adjourned"
He shuffled the paper and tapped them against the table to get them neat before leaning over to kiss Bakura on the forehead as he left. Bakura glared at the other two who just sat there smiling innocently before he upped and left with the dishes in hand. Ryou giggled at his brothers actions and turned to Yami. "So who is making you smile nowadays?"
Yami blushed as he tilted his head away and scratched at his cheek "I don't know what you are talking about."
"I think you do Pharaoh" He stuck out his tongue out as he grinned knowingly. "So what's their name?"
The older one groaned as he turned back to face him. Blush still evident on his face. "Promise you won't tell the other two. I know they would have a field day about me liking someone"
"I promise" Ryou crossed his heart and shifted closer so that there was a bit more privacy.
"I haven't met him yet but we have been talking for a while now via messages and talked via skype too" Yami shifted in his chair embarrassed to be talking about it but he felt okay with Ryou knowing. At least Bakura and Malik weren't around to tease him about it. "He's a fellow youtuber and we have collabed a few times already... erm you might know him as HikaruYugi?"
"He's the one that did the Disney challenge, card duel and the charity video with you didn't he?" Ryou squirmed on his chair and tried to pass it off as him trying to get comfortable but inside he was trying to contain himself on letting on that he indeed know whom Yami was talking about.
"That's the one" Yami smiled as he leant his head against his hand with a fond expression back on his face. He felt quite happy that he was talking to someone about this. "He's really easy to talk to and he makes me laugh no problem. It's great talking to him and I really want to meet him. I just don't know how to go about it really."
"Does he want to meet you?"
He nodded with a bright grin on his face but it disappear into a frown. "Yes but he said maybe in a month or two... I don't want to wait that long... Patience isn't my strong suit"
"I can see that" Ryou smirked uncharacteristically before it changed into a small smile so that Yami didn't notice the Bakura likeness. "Well situations might change and you may end up meeting sooner than you think"
"I really hope so Ryou" Yami sighed as he closed his eyes.
Ryou bit his lip to keep himself from spilling that HikaruYugi was his friend Yugi there and then. He took in a deep breathe and left it out slowly as he tried to think how he was going to get Yugi here for Yami's birthday. "Are you doing anything for your Birthday by the way?"
Yami looked at him confused for a moment wondering why that was brought up. "Other than do a Birthday present video so that the fans see me open the gifts they sent. I don't have a clue. why? You got an idea for it?"
"Well If you wouldn't mind can I plan one for you?"
"If you really want to then I don't mind as long as you tell me where and when before hand. You might want to talk to the other two just in case they were planning a surprise. They have done it once or twice before" He pinched the bridge of his nose as he remembered a particular birthday that he rather forget. "And if they are please take over their plans and make them sensible"
"I'll do what I can but no promises" Ryou grinned as he got up from the table. "I shall leave you to what ever it is that your doing and I'm going to go get ready for my class"
"You need a lift?" He smiled as he gathered up his own papers.
"Nah it's fine. Me running there is pretty much my warm up. I'll see you at dinner time" They waved bye to each and Yami was left to his thoughts and work load.
He took the time to look at the videos that Malik wanted help with and decided on his top five before moving on to the character sheets for the game. It held the information for the Pharaoh as well as what his character looked like which looked like him but with some differences. Such as the Pharaoh had tanned skin, deep crimson eyes, the colour also tipped his spiked hair. He was depicted in a couple of outfits so Yami made notes for each ones saying what he liked and disliked. He doodled a possibly headdress when his phone vibrated with a message.
Once again hello Yami! My feet are killing me from the amount of stuff I've been doing, i'm so looking forward to the pizza that I will be getting later, wanna get off my feet first though. How was your planning going? going to give me a hint at what you possibly going to be doing in future? =D
I think I have eaten too many sweets at lunch cause I am rather hyper right now and I don't know what to do with the extra energy. help!
Yugi-
With each message that Yugi had sent his mind would end up in the gutter one way or another without fail. he bit his lip quite harshly to keep himself from sending a straight forward replay on how he could help him spend his energy. Before he replied he noticed he got a text from Mai and opened it up.
Hello Hunnie! Check up my livestream channel for a sneak peek of what i'm doing for my video *wink* there someone here that I know you would love too see and i'm not talking about me!
Yami shook his head as he laughed. He pursed his lips as he picked up his tablet it and set it upright in front of him so that he could get to Mai's livestream. It took a few moments for it to show up but he clicked it when it was ready and ended up with an eyeful of Mai's cleavage. Gay or not he still blushed at the sight of them an adverted his gaze.
Mai smiled seductively down into the camera screen as her viewer count went up and laughed when the Pharaoh commented something about the eyes being above the neckline. "Hello all my Valentines out there! this surprise session will be an hour sneak peak of what I am doing for my next video! Also to remind you all no swearing, no leering and please be respectful of everyone! The mods are watching!"
"Some of the people that are helping today are Mister Pointy and Brown Eyed Pup better known as the as the Not to do Duo! Tristan and Joey! I also have two lovely ladies that may or may not be showing there faces, the Lovely Tea who can dance her way into your hearts and Lady Blue eyes herself Kisara! who has been helping me with outfits and make-up of my three helpful lovelies." She watched the comments come flooding in and smiled happily at the positive responses of her friends. She sighed and her smiled turned devilish as she thought about Yami in particular when it came her next comment. "and my most important person of today that is being the director of this video and co singer to my music video is none other than Hikaru Yugi!"
"MAI!" Yugi screeched as he tried to hide himself only to be held out in the open for Mai's viewers to see by Tristan and Joey. "Guys! could you not do what you are doing pleaaaase!"
Mai chuckled a little but she did feel a bit guilty about what she had just done. "Am sorry Hikaru! Please forgive me!"
"I say no to you!" He huffed and pouted as his so called friends dragged him over and planted him into the seat next to Mai at the computer. He blushed in embarrassment that pretty much covered the whole face but shook his head to put his feelings down and faced the camera with what he hoped was a pleasant smile. "Hello everyone..."
"He's a little shy everyone so please be nice." She was pleased to see that most of the comments were of her friend being absolutely adorable, they could eat him up and he should show his face more often. She smiled over at Yugi who was biting his lip and was fiddling with the end of his shirt. She glanced over the comments once more and huffed when she didn't the Pharaoh making any sort of comment. "Well I know there's more people that can make comments so I'm guessing that your appearance has made some people speechless."
Yugi glanced back at the screen and smiled when he managed to calm himself down once again. "I'm sorry for being so shy guys I've just been trying to get used to certain things one step at a time and I was suppose to be showing off my face in Mai's video for the first time. but I guess my friend here just got a little impatient."
"You know me hun" She winked at him and he just smirked at her with a shake of his head.
"You are paying for my dinner tonight and! my dessert of ice cream and cookies. Then and only then will I start to think about forgiving you" Yugi wagged his finger as he grinned.
"Sure thing hun! anything for you today my little producer" She giggled as Yugi fumed at the little comment and was pouting once again.
"You're lucky that I like you but I do ask for compensation for my services." He brushed some of his fringe from his eyes and narrowed them the best he could as he raised his eyebrows. "You been a naughty girl and I think you need to be punished"
Mai's eyes widened at receiving such a comment and face from Yugi that her face went beet red since she didn't expect it. She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times. "Ah erm..."
The younger one's smirk kept twitching as he took in her expression before he burst out laughing with a full held tilt backwards. She jumped in her chair and just stared at him. He tilted his head back at her as he muffled his laughter behind his hands but couldn't stop himself from grinning. "You should have seen your face Mai! but thank you for the confidence boost that I could possible be sexy when called for"
Yami held his hand over his mouth as he watched the stream and just couldn't type a response when Yugi had appeared on the screen as he did. He just wasn't expecting it. Then he thought back over what Mai had said about her friend that was helping her having a possible crush on him. He blushed even more an bushed up his shoulders. He chewed at his lips almost peeling the skin from them as he did so.
He figured that the black hair was a wig or something as he could vaguely see the blonde wisp of hair poking out from underneath. He took in the rest of the features and was pretty glad that he had more than just a mouth to work with when thinking about Yugi. The eyes amazed him when he saw the amethysts dance with laughter, they stunned him with how expressive they were and that he possibly found his new favourite colour.
He definitely felt really smitten now for the boy and wanted to talk with him more than ever. He breathed out deeply to collect his thoughts as he glanced at the comment section and replied to some of the viewers that were having a hard time see the video. He was semi glad that the pair had moved away from the screen so that he didn't watch Yugi as intensely as he had been doing. gazing into those eyes made his body feeling funny things and he wasn't too sure if he liked it or not just yet.
"He is cute I give you that. No wonder you been ignoring me for the past ten minutes"
Yami jumped in his seat to glare behind him to see that it was Malik. "Do not do that!"
Malik laughed as he took a seat beside him and grinned. "So is he the one that has been making you happy these past few days?"
"Am I that readable?" He sighed as his friend nodded "Yes he's the one, does Bakura know too?"
The Egyptian shook his head as his grin widened. "If he does he hasn't said anything about it but I'm pretty doubtful. Why didn't you tell me you liked a guy?"
"I just wanted the feelings to myself to work them out" Yami whined as a faint blush raised to his cheeks again and tried to look everywhere and anywhere to avoid looking at his Cheshire friend. "I would have told you guys eventually"
"Bull crap Yami. I don't believe you for a second on that one" He laughed and poked at Yami's shoulder a couple of times to get his friend to face him. "You were worried about being teased"
"Well yeah! You guys did it so much through college when I showed interest in someone. Can you blame me for wanting to keep this one to myself? and would you quit that" He patted at the hand and rubbed the area of where he was poked when he glared at Malik.
"We are friends, we are allowed to tease, it's one of the many rules!" He laughed and leaned over to see the screen in time to see the trio of boys striking model like poses for Mai to take pictures of. "Looks like he's wearing heels. I don't think he is used to having height as he keeps losing his balance every so often. Possibility of being your height maybe"
"You think so?" Yami titled his head as he watched Yugi strike a pose of his arms behind his head at a angle with his legs apart. There was a little falter that wouldn't be obvious unless you were looking for it. "Huh you might be right"
"Of course I'm right, I know my dress up tricks" He tapped his nose with a grin before leaning back into his chin. "Wonder what his actual hair looks like... but other than that you have my approval for dating him. I've already looked up fanfiction about the two of you and they are saucy"
"Malik! I did not need to know that" Yami chocked out as he held his hands over his face to hide.
"They are really cool though as most of them have managed to work a disembodied voice into an actually being that you managed to get into bed with in some shape or form. After today however I do believe story writers will be able to describe Hikaru into a physical being with his features. Be hot I have to say"
"I don't need this right now Malik...RA almighty. If I wanted to know I would have looked for them myself"
"Just saying they are already out there, just look up Dark Game" Malik patted his friend on the back a couple of times before standing up to leave the table again. "Owh yes before I go. Bakura and I are going out for a walk and might head to the shops. Is there anything you want us to get you?"
"New friends maybe?" He snorted as he brought his hands down and raised his eyebrow when he looked up to see Malik giving him the innocent look. "Some hello pandas will do me thanks... erm chocolate filling please"
"Sure thing my Pharaoh" Malik twirled his hand as he bowled lowly before snapping back up with a smile and held his hands in front of him. "I like Hikaru, so whatever happens I hope it works out for the both of you, I mean it"
"erm... thanks Malik... I hope so too" Yami smiled kindly at his friend as he left. He let out a breath as he ran his hands through his ponytail and looked back at the screen to see that Yugi was being chased around the room by Joey. The smaller one was quick and turned easily when it looked like he was almost caught by Joey. He chuckled at the antics and got back to doing his duty as Mai's mod by keeping the peace and answering questions about his own channel.
You deserve the pizza with the amount of work you have to do as well as a possible foot massage too! I know I will be seeing your face at some point when you were ready but I was watching Mai's livestream and I got to say that you looked amazing Yugi and if you were feeling up to it.. possibly video call later in the week? If you want to of course but it's okay if you don't want to but just thought to ask! good luck with the rest of the video.
Yami-
