We all know the disclaimer. Let's just start the story.
-------------------------------
It was near nighttime before Yami arrived home. Yugi looked from the window in the living room, looking for signs of a spiky-hair dude. When Yami did open the door to the game shop and enter the living room, Yami was all smiles. Upon seeing this, Yugi couldn't help but look at Yami in amusement, although he hid it well. He bounded to Yami from the window to greet the pharaoh. Dazed Crimson eyes met violet ones in happiness before it wandered up towards the stairs, clearly wanting to go to his room. Yugi stepped aside as Yami headed upstairs smirking. He knew exactly what was up now. He was still smirking and looking up the stairs when Grandpa walked by. Grandpa stopped from going to his destination to stand by Yugi, looking curiously at Yugi's direction.
"What in the world are you doing, Yugi?" He asked incredulously when he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
When hearing this, Yugi jumped. He didn't notice his grandpa standing next to him.
"Oh nothing, Gramps. I just had a revelation." Yugi reassured Gramps. After a pause, he added, "I'm not insane."
Gramps nodded before heading his way again. As he retreated to a room, he yelled behind his back, "If your revelation is true, make sure to watch it over and make ends meet."
The surprised teen watched his grandfather's retreating back, wondering about the confusing last comment. He then headed upstairs to take a peek on what Yami was doing.
When he tiptoed up the stairs and quietly looked inside the room, he saw Yami making something with paper while sitting at a desk, his back facing Yugi. Yugi raised an eyebrow to himself before tiptoeing back downstairs to watch some television.
The next day, Yugi and Yami headed towards school with Anzu. The three of them were engaged in a normal conversation about upcoming events, schoolwork, plans…etc. The three of them were caught up in talking about a new dueling event when something caught their eye. Right beside Yami (who was the closest) was a brick wall with a sign on it. It was a sign that had the Kaiba Corporation sign under it. It seemed as if there was some formal event that was happening. Upon seeing this, Yugi and Yami exchanged glances between each other.
"I heard of this." Anzu chipped. When both spiky-haired dudes looked at her in puzzlement, she continued. "Yea… I think Kaiba's having some meeting with some outside company and they were going to have this formal ball. A lot of important people are going."
"Huh." Yami replied in response. "That's interesting." They continued there walk to school.
Seto was sitting on top of a brick ledge waiting for Yami. When he'd returned home last night, he remembered the formal event that he had to hold. He had been planning to ask Yami to go since it was a "dance" after all, but after all the fun they had last night, it'd completely left his mind. Today, Seto was going to ask Yami to go. He needed some company anyway. The whole dance thing wasn't even his idea.
Lost in his train of thought, he missed Yami, Yugi and Anzu walk by him. He would have ignored them completely if not for Yami stopping on front of him and wave his arms in Seto's face. That broke Seto's thought as he looked at the moving hand in surprise, which turned into irritation. No one ever dares bother Seto and this came as a shock and annoyance. When he realized who owned that hand, his temper quickly simmered down. His cold blue eyes turned soft when met with crimson ones and sat there for a moment just staring into them. Yami just stood there with a raised eyebrow, but didn't dare move. He lowered his arm slowly as he stared back. Slowly, after a few seconds, Seto's mind reeled him back into reality to tell him that was looking into Yami's eyes. Seto quickly broke his gaze and looked away, a slight blush appearing in his cheeks. There was a moment of awkward silence…
But then the bell rang and the two teenagers blessed it before rushing to class together.
When they reached the door, the two of them were panting. The sensei looked at them with dismay.
"Yami, you are late. Why is that?" She didn't ask Seto, of course, as he entered the room silently and went to the corner of the classroom to work on his project on his laptop. "School's a waste," he used to say… but that was before he noticed Yami.
Yami hung his head as he went to his seat next to Yugi, who seemed to be smirking. Yami noticed and sent him a glare.
Seto, in the safety of his seat and laptop, cursed himself for revealing his feelings in such a way. He then cursed himself for forgetting to ask Yami about that dance AGAIN.
"Darn," he thought as his fingers flew past his keyboard, apparently immune to his thoughts.
After class, Seto called out his name, and like usual, Yami stayed behind to wait for Seto. He sent Seto a smile, which Seto returned, pretending to forget what happened before.
He looked away afterwards though, which Yami found disappointing.
As the two of them walked together, Yami started the conversation.
"Seto, I didn't know that you were having some corporation dance event." It was straight to the point. Seto thanked Kami.
"Yea, I am. Do you want to go?" He asked. " I mean, it wasn't really my idea, dances and social events are so useless." He quickly added.
Yami smiled. "Yea, I want to go. Can I bring my friends too?"
"Uh… sure, why not." Seto cursed himself, but hey, at least Yami will be there.
Yami beamed. "The more the merrier!"
"Great," Seto said sarcastically, but Yami missed it.
