-In hiding- Gomen, I really did mean to get this out sooner but I have been so busy with stupid coursework and driving lessons and other random stuff that you don't need to be bored to death with. Suffice to say men are really, really mean and horrible. But I still love him anyway.

Anyway, big thanks to Amarin Rose -hugs- she knows what for! I've been meaning to do this to Yami since she first mentioned it what seems like a million years ago now! I hope it works out okay…poor, poor Yami's dignity…


Love on Ice

Yugi rolled over in bed and moaned slightly, until his bare skin met with cold sheets and his violet eyes flew open. Blinking groggily his eyes confirmed what his dazed mind was attempting to piece together; the bed was empty. Yami wasn't there. The bed was completely and utterly Yami-less. In fact the whole room was void of Yami.

Rubbing at his tired eyes Yugi glanced at the stupidly bright alarm clock. It was only four in the morning; Yugi had been unaware there even was a four in the morning. Where was Yami?

"Meh…more covers for me…"

Yugi rolled over in the large, double, Yami-less bed and fell asleep tangled up in the cold blankets. Yami forgotten in his mind.

-

If Yugi had been more awake he would have remembered that Yami started work this morning. Though Yami wasn't exactly sure he had picked the correct job, the advert had been the most appealing to the teen; high pay, start immediately, no experience required. The hours were good too, especially for the money he would be earning. Though Yami couldn't help but wonder just what he would be doing to earn that much money in such a short period of time…

He found out soon enough.

The name of the 'establishment' (term used loosely) should have been a hint…the slutty signs and pornographic pictures outside the building perhaps should have awakened something inside his mind. The fact that the manager was none other than Pegasus J. Crawford would have given it away to anyone…unless that 'anyone' was poor little Yami-kun…

So, blissfully unaware of what he was about to endure Yami changed from his usual leather outfit to…a skimpier leather outfit. That left nothing to the imagination. He was slightly wary by this point. Contrary to popular belief he did take in his surroundings, the restaurants he took Yugi to, and the cinemas and bowling alleys…all the employees were dressed in clothes that didn't show off their underwear.

He finally dared to exit the changing room and forced his scantily-clad body to walk up to Pegasus. He still hadn't forgiven him to trying to steal Yugi's soul. But on the plus side he had stolen Kaiba's soul…

"Pegasus-"

"Uh-uh Yami-boy; you're my bitch-er-employee now. You have to call me Pegasus-sama."

"'Sama?' …okay…I think…what do I have to do?"

"Just take these," he placed a silver tray balancing several brightly coloured cocktails into Yami's shaky hands, "over to them." He pointed to a male couple giggling to each other in the corner by a large palm tree far away from the main dance floor.

"So I'm a waiter? That isn't too hard."

Pegasus smirked and slapped Yami's ass, much to the teen's dismay. Glaring Yami grabbed the cocktails and stormed over to the couple. There was definitely something about this place, something that wasn't quite right. The atmosphere was all wrong; everyone was just sitting around or dancing gently to the 'loud but not too loud' music.

And they were all men. And in leather that could rival the skimpiness of Yami's current attire.

Yami briefly wondered why the large stage in front of the dance floor was empty. There was a set ready with some very strange props; handcuffs, feathers, whips, a traffic cone…Yami shook his head and placed the cocktails onto the polished wooden table, not really noticing the wide eyes and open mouths of the recipients of said beverages.

The lights dimmed slightly and Pegasus' chilling voice sounded over the intercom as the music was lowered.

"Could all staff please assemble in the changing rooms for a brief meeting before the main performance." Growling slightly Yami wondered what the performance was going to be; and why he was required to be in a meeting about it. He left the cocktail couple (who were still gaping at him) and headed towards the changing rooms in a pretty bad mood.

Back at the table the brunette turned to his partner.

"What the hell is Yami doing here?"

"I have no idea, Honda, but I don't think he noticed us. Hey, do you think Yugi knows about this?"

"Doubt it, last I heard from Jounouchi was that they were both unemployed. Yami must've been going behind Yugi's back. Maybe he has a secret boyfriend here that he doesn't want Yugi to know about?"

"That's terrible! Poor Yugi-kun, we have to tell him!"

"Er…can it wait till morning? No offence Otogi-chan but I am dying to see Yami in this performance; it's been advertised as the most perverted show in the world!" Otogi laughed and twirled a few strands of ebony hair between his fingers before revealing his brand new mobile phone – with built-in camera.
