School had ended a little less than an hour ago, and Yugi was already unlocking his front door, wanting to get ready for his date with Yami. He was extremely excited and showed it by smiling all day long. At lunch Ryou had prodded at him until he spilled his reason for being so cheery. Malik and Jou, unaware of Yugi being friends with Yami, were shocked to say the least. Malik had fallen off of his chair, and Jou had choked on his mouthful of food. After Ryou had whacked their blonde friend on the back a few times, he congratulated Yugi and muttered something along the lines of, "the guy finally grew some balls."
Jou and Malik had then wanted to know everything that had happened to their friend ever since the baseball incident. With some help from Ryou, Yugi managed to cover them on all that had happened. He even briefly told them about his fight with Atemu.
It was decided that Yugi was to three way call them after his date and tell them how it went, despite the time of day. Malik had then grinned and told him if things were going really well then to not bother telling them anything until the next day. He received a good smack across the back of the head from both Yugi and Ryou.
"Yugi muffin is that you?" Atemu called teasingly from the den, where he was, more than likely, playing video games.
"No, I'm a ghost buster," Yugi replied with a shake of his head.
"Oh good!" Atemu played along. "The pudding that I called about earlier, yeah, it's slowly scooting it's way across the kitchen floor. Probably possessed by a pudding demon."
"I'll take care of it immediately! Although it's crucial that you sing the Ghost Busters theme song while I extract the demon," Yugi said, appearing in the doorway of the den.
"When there's something strange, in your neighborhood, who you gonna call?"
Yugi smirked, "The police. I'd hope you would do the same."
"Alright, Mr. party pooper, go get ready for your date," Atemu chuckled while making a shoeing motion with his hand.
"Fine, fine," he turned, ready to head to his room. "Oh, and don't keep Yami at the door scaring him with threats. Just call me down like the good brother you are."
"Bite me."
"No, tu eres muy feo," he snickered.
"…I know what that last word means. You're dead little brother!"
Yugi squealed loudly as he bolted for the stairs.
Yugi sighed as he looked himself over in the mirror, satisfied with his appearance. He was wearing his favorite pair of black jeans which were tucked into red high tops. For his top he wore a white T shirt that had three light blue horizontal stripes across the middle of it. And to top it off, a simple chain bracelet dangled slightly from his left wrist.
After putting on some cologne and brushing his teeth, he went to his room to grab his cell phone, wallet, and house key, just as the doorbell rang. He mumbled a curse as he hurried down the stairs, not wanting any of his brothers, especially Dark or Atemu, to try and scare Yami off.
When he got to the front door he saw that Atemu was leaning against the doorway, making light conversation with Yami. He waved when Yami flashed him a smile over Atemu's shoulder. Atemu looked around to see Yugi, and moved out of the way.
"You guys have any idea when you're gonna be back?" he asked.
"By curfew!" shouted Dark from behind Yami. It seemed that he had just gotten home from work.
Yugi groaned. "Yeah, by then. Vamonos Yami!" he yelled before grabbing Yami's hand and pulling his date towards his car.
He briefly looked Yami over and noticed he was wearing a casual navy button up shirt that had the sleeves rolled to his elbows with black jeans for pants. For shoes he had on a pair of black combat boots.
"You were pretty eager to get out of there," Yami chuckled as he got into his side of the car.
"Hey, you're lucky I got us out of there when I did. If only you had heard what they had said to me after I told them you were taking me on a date."
Yami smirked as he started the car and pulled out of the driveway. "I can only imagine."
Yugi hummed in agreement. "So where are we going exactly?"
"Do you like games, Yugi?" Yami asked suddenly.
He blinked for a few seconds. "Yeah, I love them, why?"
"Then just wait and see. I think you'll really like this."
Yugi shrugged but went along with it, trusting Yami and the location he was taking him to. He began to fiddle with Yami's CD's again, and popped one into the player once he found one he liked.
The rest of the car ride was spent with both teens belting out the lyrics, and laughing when they sang particular parts to each other. It wasn't long before they got into town and Yami announced that they were nearing the place. Yugi turned the music off, taking in the buildings around him, trying to see where they were.
A minute or two later they pulled into a parking lot in front of a few buildings. Yugi felt a huge smile forming on his face as he read the sign above the building. Yami had planned for them to play laser tag.
They got out of the car and entered the building. Yugi was excited when he saw all the paint and space like decorations that littered the walls and ran along the staircase. He had only done laser tag a few times and it was at the arcade. But that type of laser tag was cheap, this place was the real deal.
"Basically, at this place, you get to pick a code name for yourself and we go in with a group of people. We can either be enemies or allies, I don't mind either way." Yami explained as they reached the top of the stairs and entered the place. "At the end they give you a card that has your code name on it, and it shows how many times you've been hit, who you hit the most, and a few other things."
"Awesome! This was a great idea Yami!" he smiled at his date.
Yami smiled back and went to the counter to pay for both of them. After they were admitted into the group that was waiting to go in, the guy at the counter asked them what code name they would want.
"I'll take Pharaoh," Yami said without hesitation. No doubt, that was the name he had chosen on his previous visits here.
The man turned his eyes to Yugi, ready to type his name into the computer. Yugi thought for a few seconds before a name came to him.
"Heba."
The man nodded and added the information into the system. Once it was done, Yugi and Yami went to wait in the line with the rest of the people who would be entering with them.
"Say Pharaoh," Yugi nudged him in the side. "You want to be my ally?"
"Why of course, Heba."
As they waited Yami explained how the inside was set out. There was basically a bunch of different levels you could walk on, and a ton of objects inside to hide behind. Neon paint that glowed was scattered all around the place, and there was paw prints on the floor that lead back to the center where they got their laser tag packs and guns.
Yugi was brimming with excitement. After all, who didn't like laser tag?
Yugi felt his heart race as he heard footsteps above him in the darkness. He and Yami had accidentally gotten separated a little while ago, and Yugi thought they would just act as enemies now. He picked up his pace and ran up a slope to a higher level, laughing loudly when he managed to scare a teenage girl that had just turned the corner. They both shot at each other repeatedly, until the girls pack made a sound that meant she had been the one to take the damage. She ran down the slope Yugi had just come from, while Yugi headed up the stairs.
He jumped when someone from across the room, hiding somewhere on a different level, shot at him. He ducked behind a pillar and scanned the room. Below him he could see a few teen guys run by, each of them looking for someone to shoot.
Yugi perked his head up as he heard someone running towards his hiding place. He waited for the person to run by before jumping out, and shooting at the person in the back. He heard their pack go off, and hurried down a slope to his left before the person could tell where he was. There were a few whispers from some people around him, making him stop his brisk walk for a second as he listened.
"I keep getting hit by Pharaoh! What about you?" a girl asked.
Her friend laughed. "My gun says I've gotten hit by Android like thirty six times!"
They both panted. "Crap, someone's coming! Come on, let's go before they see us!"
Yugi angled his gun to the girls, knowing he wouldn't be able to get one of their packs, but wanting to scare them anyways. He shot at them multiple times, feeling delighted when they laughed and screamed.
Oh yes, this was a thousand times more fun than the arcade laser tag. Yugi would have to remember to bring Jou here, he would like it as well.
"Got you!" Someone suddenly yelled.
Yugi's eyes widened as he felt his pack vibrate, indicating that he had been shot. He looked at his gun and saw that some guy named Spiderman had shot him. Crap, now he couldn't use his gun for a few seconds. It would always freeze after being hit.
Running down another slope to the right, he found himself back on the level ground. He was out in the open now. Across the room he could hear a group of guys laughing as they teamed up and shot against another group who were on the opposite wall. Out of the corner of his eyes, Yugi caught sight of Yami's hair.
Grinning, he followed his date around a few walls, watched Yami shoot a few people, and then hurried on to another level of the building. He quickly went after him, and shot when Yami was close to turning a corner. He watched Yami's pack light up and saw Yami looking at his gun.
Yami turned so suddenly that Yugi barely had time to turn himself around. He heard Yami running towards him, and out of the adrenaline rush he was feeling, Yugi let lose a scream as he ran away. Yami's laughter could be heard, as well as the sound of his gun. Yugi managed to make a sharp turn down a slope just in time. There was a two way split where he was, and Yugi decided to take the left tunnel. He could barely see someone else hiding out in the right tunnel, and hoped Yami would think the person was him.
As he was running he passed someone else and they both turned to shoot each other, but their hands weren't focused enough on the target, and neither of them hit each other as they kept on running.
All too soon the fun stopped when the intercom went off.
"It's time to head back to base everyone. Your hour and thirty minutes of playing is up. Once at the base please remove your packs and set them on the correct stand that corresponds with the number on the gun."
Yugi panted lightly as he made his way out of the tunnel, instantly finding the paw prints on the floor. He followed them until he got back to the base room, where he hung up his pack like asked. He went out of the room to wait for Yami, noticing how sweaty and tired he was from running around.
"I can't believe you got away from me," Yami said with a grin once he got out of the room.
"You went the wrong way," he laughed. "I kept getting hit by Voldemort. I swear he was following me for ten minutes or something!"
Yami laughed loudly as he wiped some sweat from his forehead. "I think I got hit by Bolt the most."
"Oh yeah, he got me a lot too."
They then waited in the lobby with everyone else until they got their papers that showed how well and how badly they did. Yugi and Yami compared their sheets, and then looked up at the TV screen which held some of the results. It only showed the people with the highest score.
"Looks like some guy named Cutler won," Yami mused.
"Hm yeah. Man I'm hot! That was a lot of fun, but it sure was sweltering in there."
"I know what you mean. Come on, let's go get something to eat now, I'm starving!"
Yugi happily agreed.
Twenty minutes later Yugi found himself being led into a corner restaurant. The place was nice, and more importantly, affordable. Both teens decided that they would be paying for their half of the meal so they could get whatever they wanted. They were given a booth in the corner, and gave their drink orders to their waitress.
"What are you gonna get?" Yugi asked after glancing at the menu.
Yami hummed in thought, "I think… I'll get the steak and mashed potatoes. What about you?"
"I'm gonna get ribs so that I get to wear one of those nifty bibs they give you."
Yami snorted. "Please let me take a picture."
Yugi smiled just as the waitress came back with their drinks. They then gave their orders, Yami wanting steak, and Yugi wanting ribs. Once she left another waiter placed a basket of rolls on their table.
"They have the best garlic rolls!" Yami exclaimed as he grabbed one and immediately took a bite out of it.
Yugi took an identical looking roll and did the same thing. Well damn, it did taste good!
While Yugi continued to munch on his roll, he listened to Yami who began to tell him about his friends reactions to their date. Apparently Seto had dropped his laptop on the ground, and cracked a piece of it, much to Yugi's amusement. Marik had just told him a bunch of perverted things, and Bakura didn't do anything other than raise an eyebrow.
Yugi told Yami that Jou had started choking, Malik fell of his seat, and Ryou wasn't really that surprised.
"Here's the steak," the waitress said as she appeared with two plates of food.
"Wow… that was really fast," Yugi said in amazement.
"And here's your ribs," she placed the plate down in front of Yugi.
"Excuse me ma'am," Yugi said. "Could I have one of those bibs on the wall, please?"
The woman laughed as she went to retrieve one. She tied it around Yugi's neck for him, and took off with a smile.
"How do I look?" Yugi asked.
Yami bit his lip, trying not to laugh his ass off. "Like a baby."
"You're just jealous that you don't get to wear a bib."
Yami snorted while drinking his coke, making the liquid spray everywhere. Yugi really had no idea how cute he could be at times.
It was later in the evening, before Yugi's curfew, when the two returned to Yugi's house. Yami walked his date up to the porch, smiling.
"Thanks for taking me out tonight, Yami. I had a lot of fun."
"Good. Maybe we can go out again sometime next week."
"Yeah, I'd like that," Yugi smiled.
Yami ran his fingers through his hair before clearing his throat.
"Yugi, I, um…" he stuttered nervously. "I was wondering…if you'd be…you know.."
"Yes, Yami?" Yugi said playfully, thinking it was cute how flustered Yami was.
"I was wondering… if you would be my boyfriend."
Even in the dark, Yugi could see Yami's blush on his cheeks. He could also feel his own as he gently took Yami's hand into his.
"I was hoping you would ask me that tonight. So, yes, I'd like to be your boyfriend."
Yami suddenly smiled, and it took Yugi's breath away. He reminded himself to breathe as Yami moved his face closer to his own. Within seconds they were kissing. It was a soft kiss, something sweet to remember the night by. It didn't last long, and soon the couple broke away with small smiles on their faces.
"See you tomorrow at school then?"
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
Yami kissed his cheek, squeezed his hand, and then left. And Yugi had never felt happier in his life.
A/N - Damn, this is + 3,000 words. But yeah, I hope their date was satisfying enough. Yugi and Yami are still teenagers and are both boys, so their not really all that romantic. I based the laser tag they played off of the laser tag place that I have in my city. If you've never been to an official laser tag place, than you need to go to one because it is SO much fun. When I did it my code name was Echo.
As for the restaurant and the bibs… there's a restaurant where I live and they have these huge bibs hanging on the wall. And my brother used to get them when he got ribs. They also have the best garlic rolls so I incorporated that in there.
I know there wasn't too much interaction between Yugi and Yami, but I tried my best!
