*Ahem* This is only my second fic at FF.net (I gave up on my last one due to lack of interest/ideas XD;) Anyway, I don't remember where the idea for this came from, but it's fun to write. X3; Yami Yuugi and Yami Bakura are not only my favourite characters, but my favourite coupling for some reason. Anyway... enjoy. ^x^;;

Disclaimer: I wish I did, but I don't own any of these characters. ;_; *sniffle*


Chapter 1

"You WHAT!?" the silver-haired tomb robber shouted, tearing his eyes away from the television screen to glare up at his lighter half.

"I signed you up for a dating service. You need to get out more instead of watching TV all day. It will be a good experience for you," Ryou Bakura said, folding his arms across his chest. He and Yuugi had both signed their yamis up for a local dating service in order to let them get out and experience the world more. "You have a date tonight at 7:30. You meet the person in the park. I suggest you start getting ready."

"You can't make me go anywhere," Bakura said as he frowned and sat up on the couch.

Ryou dangled Bakura's beloved dagger playfully over his head. "Oh yes, I can. You don't get this back until you're going steady with someone. I mean it." He turned and left the room.

"Dammit..." Bakura growled and settled back into his favourite position, changing the channel. He had to comply with his lighter half's wishes. It couldn't be too bad, could it?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Bakura walked over to an empty bench in the park wearing a pair of jeans and his blue and white striped t-shirt, against Ryou's "dress nicely" advice. He glanced down at the small scrap paper he had clutched in his hand with his other self's writing and crude map drawn on it. Of course, he didn't understand a word of it, but it apparently said, 'Your date will be at the bench in Domino Park at 7:30 PM. Don't be late. By the way, if you need to know, the dating service is "Hard2Get Dates." Have fun! ~Ryou' Bakura crumpled up the paper and tossed it into the grass behind the single bench and sprawled himself upon it.

A few minutes passed and Bakura was about to get up and leave when he heard footsteps. He stood up quickly and straightened his clothes looking eagerly for an attractive female to appear. What he saw was definitely not what he had been expecting.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Bakura snarled at the Pharaoh. "Isn't your favourite show on or something?"

"Yes," came the annoyed reply followed by a death glare.

"So... why are you here?" Bakura asked, ignoring Yami's look. He didn't really want to know, but found himself asking anyway.

"Yuugi signed me up with some stupid dating service. It's not like I want to be here," Yami said, rolling his eyes and looking around. "What time is it?"

Bakura glanced down at his stolen watch. "Seven-thirty."

"Oooh... the tomb robber can tell time now," Yami said with a smirk, trying to get him angered. It semi-worked.

"If you don't shut up right now, I'm going to wipe that smug look off your face in a very.... fun way. Fun for me, that is," Bakura gave one of his evil smiles.

Yami, however, was no longer looking in his direction. "She should be here by now," he muttered to himself as he put his hands in the pockets of his pants. Bakura looked him over. Yami was wearing his tight leather pants, a sleevless black t-shirt, and multiple belts and pieces of jewellery. Bakura was just noticing how the leather accented the Pharaoh's butt when he looked up and realized Yami was watching him.

"What?" Yami asked as he cocked his eyebrow. "Is something wrong with my appearance?"

"Nothing," Bakura said looking away quickly. He cursed silently at himself. What the hell was he doing? Staring at the Pharaoh's ass!? He, the famous thief, attracted to another man? Especially his sworn enemy? No. That couldn't be the reason. He was straight. Bakura stomped his foot for reassurance to his mind.

Yami raised his eyebrows again. "You okay?"

"Yes. Leave me alone, you bastard."

"Fine."

Nothing was said for a long time. Bakura sat on the back of the bench and watched the seconds tick by on his watch whilst Yami stared up at the sky. The silence was broken by Yami. "Now what time is it?"

"Why should I tell you? You were an ingreatful wretch the last time I told you," Bakura said, narrowing his eyes at the shorter boy.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry. Just tell me the friggin' time," Yami sighed, wondering subconciously why he hadn't attacked Bakura like he would have normally, yet simply apologized.

In this situation, Bakura would already have had his knife to Yami's throat so he could beg for forgiveness. No, he would have slit his throat by now. He decided to make it right, since no one was around to help him, yet instead he found himself say to the other boy, "Eight o'clock, now."

"Ugh... and I thought I was late," Yami said, shaking his head in annoyance. How could a simple girl keep him waiting for so long? "Are you here for a date too?"

"Yep." Bakura said. He felt in his pockets for the paper Ryou had given him for confirmation on the time. "Dammit..." he said in a low voice as he turned to comb the grass for it.

"What, may I ask, are you doing now?" Yami asked, eyeing the tomb robber on all fours, crawling around on the grass behind him.

"I'm looking for the paper I lost," Bakura said.

Yami walked over and observed the ground. He picked up Bakura's crumpled information, having found it in an instant. "This?"

"Yes... what time does it say?" Bakura asked as he walked over.

"Uh.. let's see... 7:30 PM... same as mine," Yami said. "Hey... it's the same dating service, too. I can't believe they would get two couples to meet in the same place at the same time." He laughed for a moment, then stopped abruptly.

Both yamis pondered this and their eyes widened as they realized the hidden meaning. "Does that mean..."

"We're..."

"Supposed to..."

"DATE!?" Yami Bakura and Yami Yuugi shouted in united alarm.

"Oh Ra..." Yami muttered under his breath, brushing his hand through his bangs. "I don't know what to do."

"Ryou threatened not to give back my knife unless I was going steady with someone..." Bakura complained.

"And I don't get my duelling deck back until I've got a girlfriend..." Yami sighed.

The two slowly looked up at eachother, once again in unison.

"No..." Bakura said.

"It wouldn't be right," Yami agreed.

"But we need our stuff..."

"Just this once."

"Try anything funny and I swear I'll kill you, Pharaoh," Bakura spat.

"Not if I kill you first." Yami asked as the two walked off toward the centre of the city on their first date.



:x Yeah, that was a little short, but it is only the first chapter. x_X The others will be longer and (hopefully) better. ^_^;; R/R please~ =3
