Chapter Text

Jounouchi was fuming.

He stormed through Domino's alleyways, not caring where he went. He tousled his hair in irritation; he had had a fight with Seto, although he couldn't remember anymore what it had been about, something stupid most likely. He had walked out on his boyfriend.

They had been together for years now, and they enjoyed their banter. But there were times, where it could get out of hand.

He finally started paying attention to his surrounding once he began to calm down. And he was lost. He couldn't recognize a single building there; this place had a serenity to it, even though the streets were strangely barren. Or it would be if not for the single person that walked into a library, a person that Jounouchi knew very well; it was Atem Sennen, an old friend of his. So Jounouchi hurried after him.

Jounouchi stopped at the entrance of the building. In a way, it seemed abandoned, so Jounouchi hesitated a moment before entering.

The blonde found himself in an old library that seemed right out of a fantasy story; and it was enormous.

He saw his friend and went to him; but stopped dead in his tracks as he saw with he was talking. It was Seto, or at least looked almost exactly like him; this Seto had blonde hair, paller and yet more brilliant than Jounouchi's; and his eyes were a more purplish blue. Although what stood out the most were the deep blue scales that framed his cheeks and went down his neck, along with the scaled tale at his backside.

Is this what they call a 'scaley'? Thought Jounouchi.

The purple blue eyes of the scaley Seto found him, and they widened in surprise. Atem was nowhere to be seen.

"Seto?!" Squeaked Jounouchi, and was promptly shushed by the few people that were sitting near them.

The purple blue eyes returned to their normal size as they seemed to understand something.

"My name is Critias" he corrected, and that wasn't Seto's voice, although it was similar.

"Ah…" Said Jounouchi as he tried to comprehend the words Critias had said "Sorry then for that. You really look like my boyfriend"

"Funny" said Critias "You look like my husband" he smiled kindly.

"That's… That's quite a coincidence" said Jounouchi smiling awkwardly.

"It certainly is" he nodded "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Ah, no, I" he stuttered "I'm just trying to catch up my friend"

"Atem?" He asked and Jounouchi nodded "He always sits at the back and tries to subtly stare at Yugi as much as possible"

"Yugi?"

"One of my employees"

"So, you're the owner?"

"Yes, although it is under my husband's name"

"Oh, well, thank you" he said almost ran to where he was told his friend was.

At the very back of the library, sitting on a stool with an open book on a table, was his friend. But his eyes weren't on the book, but looking at his side.

"Yo Atem" he greeted, but his friend didn't listen. He pouted and his eyes followed his friend's gaze.

Carrying some books was a boy. He was wearing a rather stereotypical witch outfit. His hair was covered by a pointy witch hat, some curly honey bangs framing his face. He seemed to be no more than 16 years old.

"Atem" he said again, louder. His friend almost jumped off of the stool.

"Jounouchi" he squeaked "What? When?" He stuttered.

"Yeh, nice to see you again friend" said Jounouchi rather sarcastically.

"Ah, yes, nice to see you again too Jou" said Atem, more relaxed "How have you been?"

"Pretty good. How are you? How's the writer career going?" He said as he sat next to Atem "I've heard that you've become quite popular" he grinned, poking his friend's blushed cheek.

Atem brushed Jounouchi's hand away from his face.

"It's been good, sales have been great; and I'm working on something new" he said, his eyes going back to the kid. Jounouchi frowned.

"Don't go after children Atem, that's gross"

Atem almost spat.

"What are you-?" He stuttered "He's 22 I'll let you know"

"And how do you know that?" he said, poking the Egyptian's cheek again.

"Critias told me" he said, pouting and with his cheeks red "Anyway how did you even find this place?"

"I got lost, saw you and followed you here"

"How did you even get to this area of Domino?"

"Ehh" Jounouchi hesitated "I had a fight with Seto so I left and got lost"

"You fought? What was it about this time?"

Jounouchi sighed "I don't even remember. I'm sure it was something stupid"

"You sure?"

"Positive"

"Then hurry up and make up"

"I don't feel like doing that, I mean, it's always me who's apologizing" complained the blonde "It's his turn"

"That will be hard"

"I know, with an ego like his. But I'm not apologizing this time" he said as crossed his arms, glaring at the distance. "But enough about me, I don't feel like getting angry right now" he uncrossed his arms and peeked in on Atem's book, it wasn't in any language he knew. "Can you even read this?"

Atem grunted "Not really"

Jounouchi directed an unimpressed look at him.

"Then why did you even bother?"

"I just grabbed one randomly, okay?" Said the Egyptian, annoyed.

"So, you got the hots for this Yugi kid?" Jounouchi flicked through the book, uninterested.

"I" stuttered Atem "I think I'm in love"

"Turn down your romanticism a bit Atem, have you even talked to him?"

"I, I have asked him for books before" he responded timidly avoiding the blonde's eyes.

"And?" Pressured Jounouchi.

"And that's… All?" He said hesitantly, making Jounouchi groan in annoyance.

"Why are you like this?" He asked, more to himself. He abruptly stood up "okay Atem, either you go talk to him, or I will"

" Jounouchi " Atem grabbed his arm, as if to stop him "Don't you-!" But the blonde was already walking, quite literally dragging his friend with him " Jounouchi " whined the Egyptian.

"Hi, your name is Yugi, right?" greeted the blonde with a smile "I'm Jounouchi and this is my friend Atem"
