A/N: Ello Ello! What better way to end a school day than to come home and wright? *happy sigh.* Thank you all for reading, following, favoriting, and reviewing! I appreciate it immensely!
/Thoughts/
Yugi stood next to Yami's motorcycle shivering, "I forgot it was October when I agreed to go swimming with you," his teeth chattering as a cool breeze nipped at his bare chest.
Yami smiled, "That's why I brought you this." The crimson eyed siren pulled a long sleeved wet suit out of his cycle bag and handed it to Yugi.
Yugi's violet orbs widened, "Thank you! Yami, you are such a life saver!" The deep baritone voice chuckled as Yugi slid the wetsuit over his swimming trunks and followed Yami to the end of the pier. Yami glanced around nervously as Yugi approached him while zipping the wetsuit up, "What's wrong?" Yugi asked, /Wait…is that a blush?/
"I…don't want to destroy my swimming trunks," Yami frowned.
Now it was Yugi's turn to blush, "Oh. Take them off I guess." Yugi turned to face the beach as Yami stripped the trunks off of his tan form and dove into the frigid ocean water. Yugi stood at the edge of the pier for several minutes awaiting for Yami to resurface. /Hmm. I guess he's not going to come up. Well here goes nothing./ Yugi dove into the water instantly grateful for the wetsuit Yami provided him.
Yugi treaded water; gently kicking his legs and lazily moving his arms around, "Yami?" He turned around searching for any sign of the crimson eyed siren, "Yami, come on. Where did you go? Oooh" He squeaked when he felt something tickle his feet and pull at one of his ankles.
Yugi spun around again looking for the tanned Egyptian, "Yami, where are you?" He looked down into the dark ocean water; his visibility only reaching his hips. He felt two hands at his sides tickling him. He burst into fits of laughter; a large gulp of water entering his mouth ran down his throat into his lungs. Yugi panicked as each attempted gasp for air brought more water into his lungs. He felt two strong arms circle around his waist and pull him up to the surface.
"Woah, Yugi. Leave the water breathing to me," Yami smiled pulling Yugi into a warm and secure embrace to keep his head above water. The petite youth unconsciously wrapped his arms around Yami's shoulders as he coughed up the mouthfuls of water he swallowed and gasped for breath. He rested his head on Yami's shoulder already slightly exhausted from expelling the water from his lungs. "I'm sorry little one, I should not have tickled you while you were swimming," Yami whispered.
After catching his breath, Yugi realized he was pressed against Yami's bare muscular torso. A crimson blush danced over his pale cheeks at the close proximity. He raised his head to look at Yami's face, the blush turning darker; they were nose to nose staring into each other's eyes. He glanced away, "It's okay. I'm fine."
"Good. I don't want you hurt. Are you ready to swim?" Yami asked smiling at the violet eyed youth still in his arms.
"Yes. How do you want me?" Yugi asked.
Yami lifted Yugi's arms and spun around in the water so Yugi would be facing his back. He wrapped Yugi's right arm over his right shoulder and snaked Yugi's left arm under his left arm and brought the petite youth's hands together on his chest. Yugi's hands locked firmly in place.
"Yugi?"
"Hmm?" Yugi leaned in closer to hear Yami over the waves.
The crimson eyed siren turned his head essentially placing them cheek to cheek, "I am not going to know when you need breathe so you will need to let me know."
Yugi nodded against Yami's shoulder, "Okay."
"Are you really ready?" Yami asked smiling. Yugi nodded. The deep baritone voice had a smirk as he said, "Take a deep breath. Here we go." Yami's strong tale thrust them slightly out of the water and forward; Yami brought his arms up above his head as he dove down into the water. His powerful tale thrusting them both forward like a bullet through the air. Yugi had to close his eyes to prevent the ocean water from burning his eyes. He felt the water wash over him; caressing him through the wetsuit.
Almost two minutes after diving down, Yugi tapped Yami's torso a few times with his clutched hands; trying to signal to the other he needed to go up for air. Yami ascended to the surface and swam there a few seconds to allow Yugi to gather another breath before diving back down into the dark blue abyss below.
/By Ra he is fast! This is so much fun./ Yugi giggled to himself as he held onto Yami's torso as tight as he could without hurting the other. Yami dove even deeper into the ocean as he twirled a few times. /Ugh..wish he didn't do that. I'm dizzy now, but I guess it's understandable. He's just having fun./ Yugi mentally sighed as he realized he yet again needed more air. He tapped on the tan chest to tell Yami he needed oxygen. Yami pulled the small arms around him down further onto his chest which brought Yugi higher up on his back. He turned his head towards Yugi; with one more tug of Yugi's arms, the youth's lips touched his. He released a large breath of air into Yugi's mouth before allowing him to slide down to his original position on his back.
After a good 25 minutes of Yami swimming and giving air to Yugi, he surfaced and stared off onto the horizon.
Yugi blinked; his eyes trying to adjust to the bright sunlight overhead, "Why did we stop?"
"We are here." Yami smiled.
"We are where?" Yugi asked.
Yami's tan arm came out of the water to point at an island in the distance. "It's a secluded island. I researched the islands surrounding Domino last night and this one came up as secluded and uninhabited. I wanted to come here to try and figure out my other power that Ms. Davidson was talking about." Yugi smiled at him as Yami swam forward towards the beach. Yugi climbed off of Yami's back and sat down on the beach as the siren located a shallow part of the ocean to sit.
"I wonder what you can do with water," Yugi thought out loud.
Yami smiled over his shoulder at the youth, "I'm not sure, but I am interested in finding out." Yami ran his fingers through the ocean waves playing with the sea foam. He gathered some water into his palm and stared at it.
"I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do," he commented staring at the water.
"Maybe it is similar to when you sing and you have to focus on the emotion. Maybe you have to focus on doing something to the water," Yugi suggested watching the siren curiously.
Yami sighed at the water in his hand and decided to try doing different things to it. He tried moving it, freezing it, and melting it to make water vapor; all efforts ending in failure. Yami grunted frustrated.
"It's been a few hours that you've been trying to do something to it," Yugi placed a hand on the tanned shoulder, "I can tell you are getting very frustrated. I honestly think it is time to call it a day."
"Perhaps you are right," crimson met warm violet.
"Good! Plus we have to get back and dry you off. We have to meet the group in a little over one hour," Yugi smiled at his doppelganger.
"To save time, would you mind if I breathe for you so we do not have to surface as often?" Yami asked.
"I don't mind," Yugi blushed. /I love feeling his mouth over mine…wait…what? Where did that come from?/ He could feel his entire face heating up at that though.
"Yugi are you okay?" the Egyptian siren asked concerned.
Yugi nodded a little too excitedly, "Yes, I'm fine. Go ahead and swim out a little ways and then I will latch onto your shoulders again," Yugi chuckled.

Yugi and Yami arrived just in time for the group to show up at the Kame Game Shop for their World History project. Yugi waved happily to his friends while Yami smiled and gave a small wave.
"What's wrong with Marik?" Yugi asked pointing at the taller blonde Egyptian.
Joey started laughing, "He's pouting because Bakura got his revenge for the whole cell phone incident."
Yugi raised an eyebrow, his violet orbs landing on Marik and then on Bakura, "What did you do?"
"He fucking replaced my deodorant with cream cheese," Marik growled responding to Yugi's query, "I JUST took a shower too. I had to hope back into the shower to wash the damn cream cheese out of my pits. That was so gross!"
"You're just jealous. You wish you would have thought of it." Bakura's English accent carrying a smirk on it.
"Wrong. That was amateur. I'm mad I had to take yet another shower this morning," Marik growled again approaching Bakura.
"If you say so," the taller albino chuckled. Yugi couldn't contain his laughter which was silenced immediately by the glare he received from Marik.
"Well come on guys, we have a lot of work to do," Yugi stated as he escorted the group into the shop and up towards the living room where they each found a comfortable place to sit and spread out their books.
"After this school year is over, I'm going to burn this book," Bakura held up the heavy World History book.
"Kura! That's destruction of school property," Ryou frowned.
"Can I help?" Marik smirked at the tallest silver haired albino.
"Yes. We will host a bonfire where all students can gather and burn their history books. It will be beautiful," The dark chocolate orbs glazed over as he pictured the roaring fire fed by the heavy text books.
"Yes! That is genius! I will bring the marshmallows!" Mailk exclaimed.
"Like you need sugar. You are already hyperactive," Tristen smirked at the tanned lilac eyed Egyptian.
Bakura slid closer to Ryou, "Just wait until you see it. It will be great!"
Ryou crossed his arms and sighed, "Let's just focus on this project right now."
The taller silver haired youth pouted, "Fine. Let's get this over with."
