Thank You to those who reviewed!! I love you all.

It was near nighttime when Yami opened the door to the game shop, where he found Yugi and his grandpa sitting on the couch watching some television. When they heard the door click shut, they turned around to see who it was. Both greeted Yami with a warm smile, and Yami tried his best to return the favor. Yugi, however, seemed to have noticed that Yami wasn't feeling too great. His look lingered on Yami for a while before averting his attention back to the television. He would ask Yami what was wrong later, up in their room.

"There's some food in the microwave, Yami" Grandpa said, still staring at the TV. "Where were you? You hardly come home this late."

Yami replied by saying that someone wanted to duel him and that he was tired. Grandpa didn't ask any further questions and left Yami to himself. The two of them heard Yami's footsteps walking upstairs and a door clicking behind him.

Up in his room that he shared with Yugi, Yami closed the door behind him ever so softly and locked it. He then slid down to the floor, leaning against the door. He laid his head on the door and sighed dejectedly. He didn't feel too good turning down his love, but he had no choice. Yami closed his eyes for a minute and tried to recreate the memory. The kiss was so sweet and soft. He remembered Seto's stupid grin… fading into something else. It pained Yami's heart as he tried to forget the memory. With a last sigh, he got up, unlocked the door, and headed towards the desk he shared with Yugi. He quietly opened the book he had recently bought, (you guys remember Sadako and the paper cranes, right?) and he started to read it. A few hours, he was tearing and closed the book. Today did not seem to be a very good day for Yami. He took out some paper and started folding origami… paper cranes, to be exact. Yami was so caught up in folding all these paper cranes that he didn't hear Yugi walk into the room.

Yugi looked around and found Yami at the desk. He seemed to be folding some origami and Yugi quietly backed out of the room, and tried to close the door. He could always ask what was wrong with Yami later. He would let Yami have some time to fold things now.

A few hours later, Yugi came back into the room. He saw Yami sitting at his bed, looking distant. Yugi walked up to Yami and Yami turned his gaze.

"Yami? Is there anything wrong?" Yami looked at Yugi with warm eyes and attempted to crack a smile.

"I'm fine, Yugi. What makes you think anything's wrong?" Yugi looked at Yami weirdly.

"I'm somehow connected to you, Yami. I know when you're feeling blue."

"I'm fine, Yugi. No worries." Yami replied and gave Yugi a genuine smile.

Yugi didn't seem to believe him, but he didn't push any more questions. "I think I know what the problem is… now lets see if I can make sure of it…" Yugi thought as he walked away, remember who Yami was last seen with after school.

At school the next day…

Yami was walking to school with Yugi and Anzu as usual. Everything was going pretty according to routine, except once they trio reached school. As they met up with the others, Yami heard someone call his name. He turned around to see Seto. Yami smiled.

"Hello Seto, my friend." Yami verbalized as Seto walked up to him.

"Yea… hello Yami." Seto responded. They walked together towards class. That's what friends do, right? Walk with each other and chat? YES… and so the two chatted. At first it was… awkward… but as days passed by, they got better. They lost their tension and actually acted like friends.

On one particular day when they were communicating, they overheard someone talk about his trip to somewhere. Seto thought for a while and came up with an idea.

"Hey Yami, we should hang out together out of school one day." Seto vocalized his thoughts.

Yami looked at him with clear crimson eyes and gave a small smile. "Yea, that would be… interesting."

After the next ten minutes, plans had been made for the upcoming weekend.
