Sapphire Gardevoir: Eww… I'm sorry, but I looked over yesterday's chapter today, and I realized that it wasn't the best we could give you. We try to give you our best and frequently are awoken in the middle of the night by impulses to write.
Star Enfinity: Same routine every night. We wake up at..oh two am. I go to her door, knock, come in, she's sitting there with her laptop already, and we get to work. Happened last night to. (yawn)
Sapphire Gardevoir: But we aim to please!
Star Enfinity: Also, we have nothing to do during the summer. --U
Sapphire Gardevoir: Yes, but when school starts again, we might not update as frequently. We suck with school work, and it takes forever. Expect updates in August and September to be every two days or so.
Star Enfinity: Why are we boring them? Just let them read! (goes to sleep) You write it…
Sapphire Gardevoir: (kicks) Wake up! I can't do it by myself!
Star Enfinity: Today Yuugi and Atemu go into town! How hectic…Just thinking about the chaos makes me sleepy… And one more thing. The best thing that could happen to this story. Will happen……….
Sapphire Gardevoir: Tell them!
Star Enfinity: Anzu bashing! (claps) So Anzu/Tea fans, I would just skip the next…whole story.
/Atemu! Come down already/ Yuugi yelled through the mind link. /Your acting like a girl/
Atemu's dignified reply came. With a tinge of fake hurt. /I don't know how you can walk in these clothes, they're so tight/ (ohhh. 00)
Yuugi chuckled. He knew he was bugging Atemu a little to much, but you got to have fun sometimes. And the thought of Atemu in leather was just to much. Yes, Yuugi knew he liked Atemu. It was hard to deny when he had dreams that made him have to change the sheets in the morning. Luckily Atemu didn't sleep with him. That would be awkward.
/Just come down here and let me see! I wont laugh./
/Fine./
A series of bangs and Atemu appeared at the top of the stairway. Clad in leather pants might I add. Yuugi couldn't keep his mouth closed, and he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to do so anyway. His blood red tank top matched his eyes perfectly, and (at Yuugi's request) a fake gold earing hung on his right ear. Atemu was right in the walking factor though, for he walked sort of strangly in the black leather pants.
/You have to be kidding me. I look like a court dancer. Yuugi. Yuugi/
Yuugi's eyes snapped back to reality. /What/
/Never mind. Shouldn't we be on our way/
/Y..Yeah./
Yuugi had forced Atemu to go into town with him, least yesterday's events be repeated. Atem was dressed for the outing, but Yuugi felt slightly foolish in his school uniform. The only thing he had done to change was put a black shirt on instead of a white one.
/Damn. He probably thinks I look like a dork. Still, he's practically a god, and I'm just..and kid. Crud, hope that didn't get through./
Atemu paused in strapping on his boots to look up. /You do not look like a dork. In my time, you would be mistaken for royalty in those clothes. These however…/ He faded out and mumbled curses to his uncooperative boots.
Yuugi smiled. Finally a day where things just go the way you want them to. So far they had gone to a GameStop, where Atemu was utterly astounded by the technology. Yuugi laughed as he gaped at the demo screen for Prince of Persia. (I really like that game. Reminds me of Atemu.) A Hot Topic, where Yuugi bought more uncomfortable clothes for them both. And even though he complained, Atemu ended up buying lots of things there. Now they were heading towards Burger World (Stupid name huh?) so he could introduce him to hamburgers. Such fun hmm?
Yuugi fiddled with the tiny Inuyasha plushie. He had giving Atemu twenty dollars to buy whatever he wanted for himself, and he bought Yuugi a plushie keychain. It may not seem like much, but it was the thought that counts. Besides, Yuugi loved it.
Yuugi sent a wave of appreciation through the link and Atemu smirked. Some tentitive adoration and his smirk turned into a wide grin, which, Yuugi thought, only made him look more handsome.
/Thanks for the gift. It's really nice./
Atemu didn't reply, but gripped Yuugi's hand in his own. Yuugi blushed and looked away.
"Yuugi? Yuugi Motou?"
Both looked up towards the voice. Yuugi, for hearing his name being called, and Atemu's firstthought was 'friened or threat to Yuugi?'A group of girls stood in front of them, all glaring at Yuugi, but swooning over Atemu. A tall, skinny burnette stood in front of them glaring daggars at Yuugi with her blue eyes.
Yuugi knew her from school. Anzu Miazaki. (sp?) Popular. Pretty. Rich. And definitely snobby. Why on earth she would bother talking with him was a mystery. It would probably ruin her reputation if she was caught talking to him.
"Uh hi..Anzu. What are you doing here?" Of course. Anzu and her little possy hang out here on weekends. Taking in enough calories to keep them alive for the next week, while they munch on carrots at lunch trying look appealing to every boy in the world. Even if they only wanted one guy. If only they could all see them at Burger world on Saturdays. Not so cute when they're snarfing cheese burgers.
"The question is." She snapped. "What are you doing here? And who is your friend." Her gaze traveled over Atemu's leather clad form. If it were possible, Yuugi pondered, she would probably melt into a puddle of gook right at Atemu's feet.
"I am Atemu. And if you will excuse us, we were about to go inside." Atemu felt Yuugi's uneasiness, and squeezed his hand in a reassuring gesture.
Anzu stepped in front of them. "Oh no. Please. Stay and hang out with us. We could all go to a movie if you want. There's this new one it-."
"I'm sorry Anzu." Atemu interuppted. "But I have already made plans with Yuugi today. Perhaps some other time." But Yuugi could tell that he would rather be swallowed by a snake then go anywhere with her. His grimace said everything.
Anzu stomped her foot on the ground. "What do you mean 'with Yuugi'? You would rather go out with him then with me? Well fine. Have fun with your little boyfriend!"
Yuugi's face turned beet red as the girls stomped away. 'No way he would want to be my boyfriend! I wish, but he deserves someone better. Someone stronger.'
"Yuugi? Are you still hungry?"
Yuugi sighed. "No. Not really. If it's okay with you, I'd rather just go home. I'm not feeling to well."
"What?" Atemu put his hand on his forehead. "Are you sick? You don't feel warm."
Yuugi shook his head. "No I just feel dizzy." He did feel dizzy, but there was no reason that Atemu's day should be ruined because something Anzu said shook him up a little. That wouldn't be fair.
Before Yuugi could say this, Atemu nodded, and picked him up. One hand under his back and the other under his legs bridal style. "A..Atemu..?"
"Shh. If your sick, then you should save your energy. I will take you home, and try to make you feel better."
Yuugi shook his head. There was no changing his mind when he got like this. You just had to go along with it. 'Atemu…The only way you could help me..is to say you love me.'
