As soon as Yami stepped outside, he rushed back into his house, hands pressed fearfully to the door. Yugi looked into the pharaoh's wide eyes and raised an eyebrow. Yami wordlessly pointed to the window looking pale and horrified. As soon as the little light peeked outside the window, he rolled onto the floor, laughing hysterically.

"Y-Yami" Yugi tried to gasp out. "There is a bunch of crying girls outside our door." Tears had started to stream down the amethyst-eyed freshmen's face from his hysterical laughter.

The pharaoh glared at his hikari. "It's *not* funny!"

This just made Yugi laugh harder and Yami glare harder.

"I think," Yugi managed after he had calmed down a bit, "that you should make a run for it. They might follow you...but oh well. If you actually manage to persuade Kaiba to pretend to be your boyfriend, then you can show your fan club then and there that you are gay and definitely *not* with Anzu."

Yami's glare lessened a bit and considered the suggestion thoughtfully. //That actually might work...that is...*if * I can reach the Kaiba mansion before the crowd catches me. //

"But oh..." Yugi grinned, "Won't your fan club be even more heartbroken to know that they have absolutely no chance with you?" He paused for a moment. "Now that I think about it, there *were* some *guys* in the crowd too. Interesting..." He trailed off.

The crimson-eye pharaoh just shook his head and prepared to leave the house.

// Okay, on three. One...Two...// He took a deep breath. //Three!//

Yami dashed out the door and sprint past the numerous people. Looking back, Yami saw that he had put a good 100 feet between them. //Good...// He sighed in relief. //Now only if I can keep this up all the way to Kaiba's house. //

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

Seto Kaiba was speedily typing on his laptop, his steel blue eyes solely focused on the screen before him. [[So much work to get done today.]] Sapphire orbs scanned the circular watch around his wrist. [[Mokuba should be home by now.]] As if on cue, a raven hair boy poked his head into Seto's office and grinned at his brother,

"Hey big brother!"

Seto smiled in return, a gesture reserved only for Mokuba. "How was school?"

"It was fine. I'm going to go do homework now. "With that, the little boy skipped away, humming softly to himself.

Seto shook his head and once again focused all his attention on his laptop.

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

The doorbell continued to ring. Seto grit his teeth, hoping that his brother would answer the damn door. But unfortunately for him, Mokuba had his earphones on and the volume was the highest it could get, making him deaf to all else. Seto sighed and opened the door, fully prepared to yell the shit out of whoever the hell it was.

What fully surprised the CEO was a frantic pharaoh running into his house and slamming the door close. Said yami was panting heavily, skin lightly flushed and covered with a thin sheet of sweat.

[[What the hell does that stupid pharaoh think he's doing?! Barging in my house with his tight little ass.]] The brunette blinked. [[Yami does *not* have a tight ass.]] He sighed. [[I *really* need a vacation.]]

"What the hell are you doing in my house pharaoh?" Seto's voice was as cool and calculated as usual.

Yami winced and took a deep breath. " WelleveryonethinksthatAnzu'smygirlfriendbutshe'snot." Another breath. "SoIwantsomeonetopretendtobemyboyfriendbecauseIamgay."

The brunette just continued to stare at Yami for awhile before he finally decoded Yami's compact sentence. "So you're gay." Seto waved a hand carelessly. "What's that got to do with me?"

"Well...umm..." The pharaoh fidgeted slightly, his eyes not meeting his rival's. "SinceeveryoneelseistakenIwaswonderingifyouwouldpretendtobemyboyfriend."

Seto blinked once. He blinked twice. "Come again?"

Yami was looking *extremely* uncomfortable now. "Since everyone else is taken, I was wondering if you would pretend to be my boyfriend."

Seto raised an eyebrow. "What makes you think I'm even gay Yami?"

"Well, umm...I'm trying to find out if you are."

An awkward silence hung in the air. Yami was nervously awaiting Kaiba's answer.

Finally, the CEO asked, "What do I get in return?"

Surprised crimson eyes stared into ice blue ones. "Anything you want."

Seto nodded, and broke their gaze. "For how long do we put up this act?"

Yami thought it over. He hadn't really considered this. "One month? We have to make it convincing."

Seto nodded again. He finally realized the tremendous amount of noise outside his mansion and looked outside his window. The past high priest smirked and gracefully took Yami's hand. "Shall we?"

Yami looked at him like he had grown two heads, but nodded anyways.

Grand doors opened to reveal two extremely good-looking men locking hands. The crowd was instantly silent, afraid even to breathe.

The two top duelists continued holding hands until Yami felt a slight tug on his hands. Before he could blink, Seto pulled him in for a kiss. Yami's eyes widened and he gasped.

"Just play along." Seto murmured against his lips, willing him to comply.

The pharaoh nodded and slipped his arms around the CEO's neck, pulling him slightly closer.

The kiss was unlike anything Yami had ever felt before. He practically melted against those petal soft lips. A fire spread throughout his body, needing more of the breath-taking brunette before him. The kiss spoke of familiarity, or something Yami had experienced long ago. The kiss ended abruptly, but left Yami aching for more.

The kiss broke. Yami pulled away from the embrace awkwardly, refusing to meet Seto's eyes. //Yugi was right.// He thought wryly as he observed a river-in-making before him. The few guys in the crowd also looked heartbroken, but their eyes were shining with hope. One guy managed to catch Yami's eye and licked his lips seductively. The pharaoh shivered in fear and unconsciously inched closer to Seto.

The brunette raised an eyebrow at Yami's actions and followed his gaze to the man. Seto glared daggers at him, only to meet a pair of violet eyes gazing back with equal fire. Seto didn't like him, not one bit, and pulled Yami closer. [[Why do I care?!]] The CEO was extremely confused about his actions, but pushed his questions aside as he led Yami inside his mansion once more.

As soon as the door was closed, Seto pushed Yami away and went upstairs. His voice was like ice. "You can go home when the crowd's gone." And was gone, leaving a very confused pharaoh with his questions.

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

[[Why did I agree to it?!]] Seto banged his head on his table. [[Why why why why why?!]]

'Maybe it's because you like him.' A traitorous voice whispered inside the brunette's head.

Seto shook his head vigorously. [[Yami?! Never. He is my rival. My enemy for the past 3000 years.]]

But then, there was that unspoken question. The question Seto had been agonizing over since he did it.

Why did he kiss Yami?

It had felt so familiar, yet nothing he had ever experienced before. Yami's lithe body pressed up against his...it was so...right.

He knew that there was no reason to kiss the pharaoh. They were holding hands for Ra's sake! He knew the people could tell that they were much more than friends from just that. But...he needed to convince him self. [[Yeah, that's it. The kiss was merely something to convince myself of this pretend relationship. Yeah...that was it.]]

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

"Yes ladies of Domino! Yami Muto is not, I repeat not dating Anzu Mazaki. It turns out today's hottest duelist is...gay! You heard me right folks! Sorry ladies. He is currently dating the ever famous Seto Kaiba! Wow is this shocker!" The reporter's eyes were practically popping out with every sentence she said.

"The two most eligible bachelors are taken...by each other! Now on to today's forecast..."

Yami shut the TV and sighed. Finally! Everyone knew his big secret. At least he didn't have to put up with that *annoying* friendship prat. He smiled at the thought and his thoughts began to unconsciously drift to a certain chestnut hair CEO.

Kaiba confused him. First, he was an unbreakable, unmeltable human ice cube. All of a sudden, he kisses you. Then, he turns back into the block of ice. Yami sighed. Kaiba had left him in a puddle of mixed emotions. As much as he hated to admit it, Yami enjoyed their kiss. He enjoyed the kiss from his one and only rival. His long-lived enemy and high priest.

The pharaoh sighed and hurried downstairs. He was going to see his "boyfriend" at school, and for some unknown reason, Yami had butterflies in his stomach.

As he ran past the kitchen table, he halted. Wide ruby eyes turned to the Domino Newspaper. On the wrinkled newspaper, was a huge picture purposely printed on the front page for the world to see, was Yami and Kaiba...kissing.
