"Well, that's about it then. See you next week everyone!"

Yugi stuffed his books into his bag and followed the hoard of people streaming from the classroom. Two months had passed and Yugi was quite happy with how things were going. He and Yami switched bodies just about everyday so he could attend his History classes and Yami could attend his computer classes.

Rave had been stopping by their apartment much more often, and since Yami was getting worried that she would start asking questions about his absent brother, Yami had begun spending more time at her place. She lived in a small house with three other girls on the opposite side of campus. Yugi saw her all over campus and was tempted to talk to her but he didn't want to intrude on Yami's relationship. If that's what it was. Yami had become embarrassed about it and rarely even let Yugi watch as he was talking to her. Being that he was much stronger, Yugi couldn't fight him. Yugi accepted the fact that Yami wanted his privacy, but if he wasn't going to let Yugi in, then Yugi would have to learn to keep Yami out. He had been practicing keeping Yami out of conversations and had achieved the point where Yami could see but not hear.

After a very long talk between the two of them, they agreed that they would be like normal brothers and stay out of each others way. If Yugi wanted to tell Yami about his day, then great! If not, Yami wouldn't intrude; and vise versa. Yugi couldn't be happier with this agreement, but because he wanted Yami out of his life, but because this way they were more independent. Besides, it was getting too complicated when he was trying to study for a History test while listening to Yami's computer class.

Yugi walked through the halls of the school building and paused in the lobby. He glanced at his watch. His next class didn't start for another forty-five minutes. He decided to sit down and read while he waited. He dropped his bag to the floor and sat down in one of the empty chairs. He pulled out his Egyptian Mythology book and began to read. He became so absorbed in the book that he didn't even realize it when someone sat next to him until they spoke.

"Hey! I have that class too!"

Yugi jumped and turned to the voice. Sitting next to him was a young man with long brown hair and the brightest blue eyes Yugi had every seen. Yugi smiled at the stranger and glanced at his book.

"Really? You're interested in Egyptian Mythology?" Yugi turned back to the boy who nodded.

"Are you kidding? I love it! I have about a million books about it back home." He smiled and offered his hand. "I'm Corin Trumill."

Yugi took it and shook. "I'm Yugi Motou. Nice to meet you." He smiled. "I haven't seen you in the class though."

The boy smiled and leaned back in his chair. "I usually sit in the back. I've seen you though. You seem really smart."

Yugi couldn't help the blush that crept to his cheeks. "Well thanks. My brother got me into it and now I want to learn all I can." He smiled.

"Oh you have a brother? That's cool. I don't. It's just me and four sisters. I'm the baby." He winked and chuckled.

Yugi laughed. "That must be nice. I've never really been around girls much. I mean, there's my best friend Téa…but that's different."

Corin nodded. "Yeah, girls make good friends ya know?" He leaned back against his chair. "Good friends…I stress friends." He chuckled. "They don't make very good dates though. Way too picky."

Yugi laughed. "I can understand that. My brother is dating one. He always comes home worrying about what she likes and wants."

Corin nodded. "Yeah. Personally I don't bother with em. To many other things to worry about, ya know?"

Yugi nodded. He liked this boy; he was funny and easy to talk to. "Do you think it's because you had so many sisters?"

Corin chuckled. "Yeah, probably. I've seen what their like. I'd never want to take one home. Yuck." He stuck his tongue out and laughed with Yugi. When the laughter died down, Corin turned to Yugi. "So what about you?"

Yugi looked confused. "What about me?"

"Girls. Do you bother with em?"

Yugi still didn't seem to understand so Corin elaborated. "Are you gay?"

Yugi's eyes widened in understanding. He blushed deeply and looked down at his book. "I…uh…I…"

Corin chuckled. "Ahh, newly out of the closet? Or maybe you're not even out yet. That's okay. I'm gay too, don't worry about it."

Yugi only blushed deeper. Somehow, hearing that this attractive young man was gay aroused him. He tried desperately to hide it with his book before he composed himself. He turned to Corin and smiled shly.

"I guess I haven't really come out of the closet yet. I…never really thought about it I guess. I mean, I just assumed…one day…"

"That you'd find a girl and get married?"

Yugi nodded sheepishly.

Corin nodded. "Yeah, I thought that too. At least, that's what my sisters always told me. They said that guys can't marry guys because it's not normal. And if you can't get married, there's no point!" He turned and leaned in to Yugi, lowering his voice. "But you know what I found out?"

Yugi shook his head and couldn't help but feel the tension between his legs increase as Corin moved closer to him.

"I found out, that in places like England and Canada, guys can get married. They do it all the time." He leaned back and raised his voice back to its normal level. "That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna find me some guy, fall in love, and take him to one of those places and get married." He turned to Yugi. "You can do it too, you know."

Yugi blushed again and looked back at his book. His mind was racing. Men can marry men now? How did he miss that announcement? He supposed he was too busy with dueling to worry about marriage. He barely noticed when Corin dragged him in class and wasn't paying attention when the professor began spouting ancient stories about Egypt and the Pharaohs. He kept thinking about Corin's words, "guys can get married." Yugi couldn't help but picture himself standing at the altar with a handsome young man next to him. He was startled out of his vision when he realized he was picturing Corin! Yugi blushed at his own thoughts and then he heard Yami.

Yugi? Is something wrong? You're getting a little hot…what's going on?

Yugi blushed deeper and muttered, "I'll tell you later." Before scribbling his notes. The class ended and Yugi suddenly felt desperate to get out of there to keep from blushing any further. He didn't even notice when Corin fell into step next to him.

"So, where are you headed next?" The brunette asked.

Yugi jumped slightly and couldn't help the goofy grin that came across his face when he noticed who was next to him. "Oh, Corin. No where, really. I'm done for the day."

"Hey, you wanna come over to my place for a while? I have a class in an hour and I wouldn't mind the company while I wait."

Yugi felt his palms start sweating. "Uh, sure, let me just call my brother and let him know." He ran to a pay phone and placed it at his ear. He pretended to put money in and dial and then he connected his mind with Yami.

"Yami? It's Yugi."

Obviously, Yugi. What's wrong?

"Oh nothing. Hey, I just wanted to let you know…or really ask you…" He added in an undertone, "about my friend Corin. He wants me to keep him company while he waits for his next class. I'll only be an hour."

Yami smiled knowingly and Yugi blushed. If you say so Yugi. Just remember, I have a date with Rave tonight at 6. I'd prefer not to be late.

Yugi nodded. "Right. Don't worry. I'll be home long before then. I'll see you later." He added for good measure and hung up the phone.

When Yugi turned around, Corin was standing right behind him with a large grin on his face.

"So, you goin?"

Yugi smiled. "Yeah!" He said much too eagerly and followed Corin out of the building.
