The plane had landed, and Yugi and friends were waiting for their luggage.
"Hey, Motou!"
Yugi turned to see Connor running over to him, only for him to slip on a wet spot on the floor and face-planted. Yugi giggled at the clumsy man. Connor lifted his head off the floor.
"When did you want that coffee?"
Connor grinned. Yugi laughed.
"You should probably get off the floor first."
Connor blushed.
"Maybe I should."
Yugi decided that he and Connor should meet up after everything was sorted for him and his friends. They exchanged numbers and waved as they went their separate ways.
Ryou had been able to pay, so it wasn't hard to find a place. It was a three bedroom, two bathroom, double story house. They had all ordered furniture, they could all agree on, online for the rooms they would all occupy. Objects such as kitchen utensils and dishes and bathroom necessities would be bought at the store. The furniture for their rooms wouldn't arrive for a while, good thing they brought sleeping bags.
Yugi and friends entered the store, Marik held a list of necessities.
"Ryou and Bakura, you two are on kitchen duty. Don't break anything."
Marik warned before continuing.
"Yugi is on bathroom duty, and Melvin and I will get the groceries. Any questions?"
They all shook their heads and went their separate ways.
Yugi looked through aisle after aisle, unable to find what he was looking for.
He was so focused on finding what he needed, that he bumped into someone.
Being as small as he was, Yugi went down and landed on his bum. Looking up, Yugi saw a young man who had just told the person he was on the phone with that he would call him back.
"Sorry."
The man told him sympathetically.
Yugi squeaked out a "sorry" to him.
"No need to apologize, I wasn't looking where I was going either."
Yugi picked himself off the floor and hurriedly looked around.
"Are you looking for something? I can help."
"Yeah, I'm looking for bathroom items."
Yugi explained, the man grinned widely making Yugi flinch back.
"I'll show you where it is!"
He cried happily before grabbing Yugi's wrist and pulled him along. Yugi fought to release his arm from the man, but the man paid no attention to him and pointed in a direction.
"This way. I'm Josh by the way."
Yugi furrowed his eyebrows.
This guy has a problem.
Yugi followed Josh to the bathroom section, and the man finally dropped his arm.
"Here it is!"
Josh said happily while Yugi rubbed his wrist.
Yugi's phone buzzed.
Ryou- Is everything ok!? Did you get lost!? HAVE YOU BEEN KIDNAPPED!?
Yugi smiled.
Yugi- I'm fine. I did get lost, but I got help. No, I have not been kidnapped. I will be back in a few.
"Anything important?"
Josh asked quietly in Yugi's ear, looking over his shoulder.
Yugi twitched.
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"
Yugi shouted out at him.
"Sorry."
Josh said quietly, Yugi still stood glaring at him.
"Thanks for your help."
Yugi told him before turning to gather what he needed and left.
"Way to go, Josh, you've ruined it again."
Josh mumbled while watching the blonde leave.
"Yugi! I'm so glad you're okay!"
Ryou cried, rushing over to hug his friend.
Bakura rolled his eyes.
"You worry about everything."
He said coldly, Ryou glared.
"Well sorry for wanting my friend to be safe."
"If you're so worried, why don't you go with him?"
"Who would keep you in check?"
"I can take care of myself. I never needed you in the first place."
The three past vessels gasped at Bakura's comment while Melvin chanted out
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Shut up, Melvin!"
Marik turned to tell out at the psychotic maniac.
By now the five had started a scene in the middle of the parking lot.
Ryou and Bakura argued while Marik was trying to keep Melvin calm. It was all too much for Yugi. He hated being in the middle of the center of attention.
Anxiety filled up his chest until he couldn't breathe. He felt a panic attack coming to swallow him. Yugi struggled to control it, but to no avail. It was no use, he had no soothing words being whispered from anyone who would calm him down. He jumped when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He turned to show the person the tears running down his face. It was Josh. He ran comforting circles into the boys back soothingly. Soft words were whispered to him, and he slowly calmed.
"Let's get you away from this."
Josh told him picking him up bridal style and walking away from the scene still going on. Yugi was set down on a bench as Josh started walking back into the store. Yugi grabbed at the man's sleeve. Josh looked back and gently removed Yugi's hand from his shirt.
"I'll be right back."
True to his word, Josh came back just a few minutes later and placed a bottle of water in front of Yugi.
"Here, you'll need this after your panic attack."
He explained, Yugi smiled slightly.
"Thank you."
