Yugi wants Yami to simply be his friend. Yami simply wants Yugi. Simple right? What happens when they are thrown together to write a school essay?

Yami stood waiting for Yugi to make his way out of the mass of people descending from the school's front steps. He saw Yugi coming towards him, his trio coloured hair bobbing up and down as he walked. He pushed his way out from amongst the crowd of students. Yami pushed himself off the wall he'd been leaning on. "You ready to go, Yugi?"

"Yeah, let's get this essay on the road." Yami stared at Yugi who had pumped his fist in the air. Yugi looked up at his hand above his head, blushed and dropped it to his side again. The corners of Yami's mouth turned up into a smile. He raised an eyebrow turned and started walking down the street. Yugi, realizing his study buddy was leaving ran to catch up.:- Why do I keep saying and doing such stupid things. No wonder Yami thinks I'm a moron.:-

-: Yugi is so cute to watch. How does he manage to say and do so many cute things in one day? It just amazes me.:-

Yugi looked at the house Yami lived in, it was huge. It looked like Yami was rich. "Wow your parents must earn heaps of money to afford this." Yugi blushed as Yami turned to look at him. "Yeah they earn heaps. They are never home though. So it's usually just me here. Where do you want to work, the kitchen, lounge or my room? My room's got a computer in it, so we can put our ideas straight into a word document."

"Ah, your room sounds good. I've done about 4 pages of notes. I hope it's not too much."

"Nah, that's fine, I've done 5 pages. We'll probably find we've got similar information so we'll be able to condense it into the maximum three pages."

Yami led Yugi up stairs to his room. In the middle of the large room was a Queen size bed. The sheets looked to be silk, in a blood red colour. There was also a two seater couch also blood red of spilt wine, siting in the far corner. Next to the door was the computer with scanner, fax, and printer included.

Yugi turned to find Yami lunging across the middle of the bed with his notes and research books in an organised mess around him. Yami motioned for Yugi to join him on the bed. Yugi pulled his back pack off his shoulder and started taking out his notes. "I thought that maybe we could exchange notes and see what think of each others ideas." Yugi stood at the edge of the bed holding his notes out to Yami. Yami reached his arm out to take the notes, instead grasping Yugi's elfin wrist and yanking him onto the bed. Yugi's mouth opened into an 'Oh'of surprise before his face turned redder than the bed he lay on. "you're really going to have to work on hiding your embarrassment better. No wonder people poke fun at you so much." Yami ran a finger down Yugi's recovering check. As soon as his finger made contact he could feel Yugi's face heating up again under his gentle caress. Yami chuckled. -: this is going to be so much fun:-

-: Oh my god, Oh my god, what do I do…:-

"Ahh, so here are my notes." Yugi put the notes up in between Yami and himself.

"Ok let's see what you've got" Yami reached up and took the notes from Yugi. Lying down on his back, he started reading Yugi's work. He could feel Yugi watching him from where he knelt on the bed a foot or so away.

Yugi watched in fascination as Yami lay down to read his notes. Yami's shirt slipped up exposing smooth skin beneath. Yugi's eyes moved down to Yami's Leather pants. )They fit him like a glove, a very sexy leather glove.-: I wonder how he manages to get into them. I can't even see a zipper on it anywhere.:- His glance skimmed over the bulge in Yami's pants and he suddenly became aware that he was checking Yami out.-: oh bugger, did Yami notice. I hope he didn't.:- Yugi picked up one of the papers beside him and started reading. -: Wow, Yami has really done a great job with his researching. I'm glad I was partnered with him.:-

"This is really good Yugi. Now let's try putting it onto the computer. From there we can add and delete whatever we need to. I'd say we should have this finished in three days max, what do you think?"

"Ah, yeah sounds great but would I be able to use the bathroom first?"

"Through that door to the right. I'll start typing these notes."

When Yugi returned from the bathroom, Yami had typed in the first page of his notes.

"Gosh, you're a fast typer. I could never learn to touch type. I couldn't help myself from peeking at the keyboard. So what did you want me to do while you're typing?"

"If you could go through my notes and cross off everything we have already got in your notes. Then I'll type it up onto the computer. We might leave the rest till tomorrow. Then on Thursday we can format it and fix any thing that needs it."

Later

Yami stood at his front door, watching Yugi as he walked down the pathway from the house, as he got to the street he turned back to wave at Yami. Yami closed the door and made his way back up to his bedroom. He fell back onto the bed, hand under his head, staring up at the ceiling. -: Oh my, that was fun. I'm going to have to be careful though, what I say to him as he gets embarrassed so easily.:-

Yugi walked up to his bedroom and lay back on his bed. Thinking about that afternoon.-: I think that went well. We got heaps of work done and Yami was right we do have similar ideas. I don't think Yami was too worried about all the stupid things I said. He seemed pretty friendly. Maybe he would like to hang out with me sometime, when we're not working on this essay.:-
