Anzu was worried.
Yuugi didn't cope too well without his usual eight hours sleep and it was getting close to two in the morning, with no signs of the party winding to a close. They had school the next day and nobody was being responsible enough to call it a night.
She knew that, in a minute, she would feel obligated to say something. The others might resent her for it, but it was the obvious and practical, not to mention the right, thing to do.
Jounouchi was knocking back orange juice in a futile attempt to keep his wits intact, Shizuka dozing peacefully at his side. Honda was barely awake, sprawled across the couch, half-watching an abysmal late-night film.
Only Mai, whose birthday it was and who didn't have anything in particular organised for the next 24 hours, and Otogi were still carrying on what could be considered a coherent conversation.
"Er... Mai, we've all got school tomorrow, so maybe it would be best if we went home now," Anzu started, interrupting her own argument with a yawn.
"Yeah we've had a great time," Jounouchi continued, "but Shizuka's asleep and Yuugi's not far off."
Mai pouted, but covered it with a quick, "You're right hon," and organised a taxi to take them all home.
Anzu quietly and discretely wiped her handkerchief over where Yuugi had drooled on Mai's armchair. She didn't want someone else to call attention to it and embarrass him.
Yuugi wasn't the youngest, but sometimes Anzu felt a distinct need to watch out for him and that had nothing to do with his height. Yuugi was sweet, kind and considerate and he believed in other people, even when they didn't believe in themselves. It was why they were such good friends.
It could even be why she loved him.
