Sydney drove her black Firebird through the highways of Vegas, passing by
casinos on the way. Yugi stared out in the window in awe as he made himself
comforable in the leather seats. She turned to him with a smile, "It's a
good thing you chose Vegas, Yugi, they always say this place is a bad area
to live, but I think that's not true. This place has action, nothing is
ever boring in Vegas you know. So you'll never regret going here, Yugi,
you'll never regret it."
Yugi smiled back, "Thanks Syd, I guess this won't be so bad, I thought I was going to worry about things of where I was going to live and all, but now that I got you by my side, I don't have to worry about anything."
"You won't have to worry about anything now that I'm around," Sydney said with a thumbs up. Yugi looked around the car and then found a mini photo album near the cup holders. He picked it up and felt the cool black material. He looked at Sydney, she eyed the album, "Go ahead Yugi, there's nothing special about them really."
Yugi shrugged and opened it, looking through the various photos, then stopped at a picture where there was four people, Sydney was one of them, the other three were guys, one had blonde hair, another black with silver highlights and the third with brownish-auburn hair.
"Who are these three?" Yugi asked curiously, finding them already atractive. Sydney chuckled, "Those are my pesky little room mates. The blondie is Ramsey, the black with silver is Shawn, but prefers to be called Shady for short, and last but not least so to speak is Alex. Rams and Shady are a couple, Alex has his sights on Shady's cousin, Ratio who's a masters degree on medical things."
"Wow, so am I going to be able to meet them?" Yugi asked blinking, Sydney looked at Yugi with a lazy eye, "What's the rush? I mean, I know they're fine boys, but they can be a pain in the ass for a girl like myself."
"Let me guess, you're the only girl there? That's kinda scary."
"You can say that again, but it _is_ nice to know that they're into other tastes. But they do love to play who can be a flirt."
Then it was Yugi's turn to chuckle, "So you must be the black sheep ne?"
"More like a sheep surrounded by rams." Sydney muttered rolling her eyes. She stopped in the parking lot of a hotel and turned the car off.
"Well, we're here, we can get your bags later." Sydney said as she got out of the car. Yugi followed suit as they entered the Champane Hotel.
Sydney shuffled through her poket for the card key as they went up the elevator. They stopped at the 7th floor as Sydney pulled out the white plastic key that looked like a credit card.
"C'mon, the room's just to the right." Sydney walked briskly through the hallways, Yugi trying his best to catch up. They stopped at room 735 and stood at the door.
Sydney placed her ear on the door, Yugi blinked in curiousity, "What?"
"It's quiet......too quiet." Sydney muttered. She inserted the key into the slot, waited for a while then pulled it out, the red light turned green as she turned the knob open. Yugi looked into the darkened room. Sydney blinked and flipped the switch. The room was souless.
"Guess they're not home?" Yugi said shrugging. Sydney shrugged as well and gestured Yugi inside, then locking the door behind her.
"So." Yugi said taking a seat on a chair, "Where do you think they are?"
"Either they're at a casino checking their luck or they're at Ratio's appartment." Sydney replied. Yugi snickered, "At Ratio's appartment doing what?"
"Oh geez Yugi, when I said I was used to gays and bis doesn't mean that I was used to gay and bi turn-ons." Sydney said as she flopped onto the bed.
"Well, how long have you been with them?"
"Meh, I dunno.....8...9 years? I've known those four for years and I can't remember." Sydney said sighing. Yugi stared, "9 years, that's a lot, I mean, no wonder you're used to-"
"Yeah I know, I guess I took the glass of wine with poison." Sydney said sitting up. Yugi blinked, then both teens jumped when they heard knocking.
"Yo Syd!! Open up! C'mon we don' got all day!!" A young adjitated voice yelled, both then heard some groaning.
"That must be Ramsey and Shady now." Sydney said rolling her eyes as she unlocked the door and moved aside as the teens from the other side of the door fell to the floor.
"Oh gee thanks Sydney." The black haired boy muttered rubbing his head. The blue eyed boy was on top of the blonde who was tapping his fingers on the floor with an annoyed look on his face.
"Next time, don't lean on the door." Sydney muttered rolling her eyes, then looked at the two, "Hey, where's Alex?"
"At Ratio's." the blonde said as the both boys got up from the floor. Sydney shrugged, "Why did I even ask? Anyways, you two goin' anywhere tonight?"
"No not really, we were plannin' to go eat somewhere, but did second thoughts and-" the raven-haired boy turned his eyes to Yugi, "Alright Sydney, what did you do this time?"
"What? I didn't do anything-" Sydney snapped and then noticed what the azure eyed boy was reffering to, "Oh, Ramsey. Shady. This is Yugi. He's going to stay at my appartment for a while since he's got no where else to go. Now be nice to him alright?"
"Fine fine, I won't say anything." Ramsey said pouting. Shady rolled his eyes, "By means, what do you mean by nice-"
"Shane, don't you dare breath those words or you'll get into a heap of trouble." Sydney snapped as she closed the door. Yugi looked from Ramsey to Shady, his amethyst eyes blinking curiously.
"So how old are ya, Yugi? You seem kinda young to meet a bachlorete like Syd." Ramsey teased, getting rewarded with a whack on the arm by Sydney. Yugi chuckled, "I'm 18, and I'm already taken alright."
"Oh really? By who-"
"He didn't mean it like _that_ Ramsey, he meant by other refferance!!" Sydney said glaring at the blonde. Ramsey backed away from the brunette, "Yeesh, bite my head off why don't you?!"
Yugi chuckled, "Relax Sydney, he didn't do anything wrong. He's just a hentai."
"Hentai? He's more than that Yugi, trust me." Shady said nudging Ramsey on the side. Ramsey pouted, "I'm not _that_ preverted." Yugi laughed at the older teen's antics.
"C'mon Ramsey, admit it, you would stare at almost anything and list various things it could be 'used' for." Sydney muttered rolling her eyes. Shady sighed, "She's got a point there, Rams. You lost-"
"Oh be quiet, you're not helping." Ramsey said pursing his bottom lip slightly. Yugi smiled, now he's met up with a group of friends who accepted him in their lives. Unlike the other people who played pretend with him. He knew he was going to like it here in Vegas. 'Who knows,' Yugi thought to himself, 'Maybe I might leave Yami behind, maybe my love for him was nothing. From now on, he's just a face in the crowd.'
~*~2 years later~*~
"Yugi!! Turn off your damn alarm clock!! Some of us need sleep!!" Sydney yelled from the other room. Yugi groaned, and slapped the snooze button on the clock. He groggily sat up and wiped the crust from his eyes. His door opened and Ramsey's blonde head popped from behind with a sleepy smile on his face, "About time you woke up, sleepin' beauty. Sydney's usually the first one up, but apparently, she stayed up yesterday-"
"Because you and Shady were roumping the sheets." Yugi muttered standing up, still wiping his tired eyes. Ramsey scratched the back of his head, "Oh c'mon Yugi, we weren't _that_ loud were we?"
"Trust me," Yugi said walking by the multi-colored eyed boy, "You were so loud that Mr. Hempstine threw a beer bottle at the door."
"Meh, he's a cranky ol' hag, Yuge. He's just jealous-"
"Ramsey!!" Yugi cried and swatted the taller blonde on the arm. Ramsey chuckled and then he coughed, "And you got this in the mail." Ramsey pulled out a letter and handed it to Yugi. Yugi took it in his hands and examined it, "They want me to sing for the night instead of Sydney?"
"That week Sydney's taking a day off, and surprisingly they have a schedule for someone's birthday or something. And they said they wanted a male singer so there ya go." Ramsey explained.
"You read the letter, didn't you?" Yugi eyed the blonde, who smiled innocently...or tried to, "Ramsey, you're so nosey."
"I know, but at least I'm trying to be honest."
"Suuuuuuure."
~*~
It's two years since I've left Yami behind, and I'm starting to think that he forgot about me. Since I was only a shadow to him years ago. So now, I have freedom, I have a care-free life in Vegas with my room mates. They're like family to me. We would bicker here and there, but we never got angry with one another.
After a couple days, I took a job of singing kareoke with Syd. We both were the best singers in Golden Gem. Sydney was still single, but that was okay, she would rather stay single than have a bunch of guys hanging on her neck. She's almost like a sister to me, always understanding and always knows what cheers me up.
Ramsey and Shady took second jobs as bartenders. Mostly Ramsey keeps his two eyes on Shady because Ramsey is afraid that the little blue eyed boy might spike his soda. Shady maybe the quiet and funny one, but apparently he got a mischeif side to him from Ramsey and Alex. Ramsey was like a big brother and Shady was like my best friend.
Alex was a DJ at the Golden Gem already, he always knew what songs either me or Syd wanted to so just by looking at our eyes. He was very sharp and was a comedian. He was very cool and cunning at the same time. Alex usually liked to pick on Sydney because she was the only female in the group, but Sydney got used to it, or usually messed with Alex's hair, which the Russian didn't like one bit.
Even though he doesn't work at the club, Ratio was always there in the crowds. He is more mature one and is the main one who stopped the fights before things really got ugly. He always was the calm and collected guy, and was the one to keep Shady on track of his job and not on Ramsey's ass.
When the guys usually went out, me and Sydney usually hang out together, going site seeing and going to the casinos. It was a perfect life for me, living care-free and under the sun. And I got this all on my own, without Yami helping me.
And speaking of Yami, I wonder how he's doing now.

Hehe, That's a wrap, R/R!!
