A/N: Yeah, I know. Boring title, right? Sorry about that, folks, I just can't think of a decent title right now. My head's disorganized right now.
Chapter 10: The Concert (Me: Told you so...)
"Ready?"
Yami nodded as they left the game shop to go to the much-anticipated concert. To his dismay, the CEO hasn't called yet and that simple fact troubles him. Of course he understands how much the CEO values his pride but what happened earlier was just a careless mistake. 'I hope he knows that,' he thought.
"Are you alright, Yami? You're oddly quiet," Mahado said.
"I'm fine, Mahado," he answered.
Mahado smiled to tell the pharaoh he understands before glancing at his watch. "We have to hurry before we run out of seats," he said.
Come a little closer, flicker in flight
Yami glanced at the stage, recognizing the song. It was one of his favorite songs. The band members started to appear one by one as the lead singer continued singing.
We'll have about an inch's space
But I'm here I can breathe in
What you breathe out
Let me know if I'm doing this right
Let me know if my grip's too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
"Yami?"
The Yugioh turned to meet Mahado's gaze, "Is something wrong, Mahado?" he asked. The High Priest shook his head, "No, everything's quite alright. I have something to give to you," he answered before taking two passes from his pocket and handed them to Yami.
"What's -- backstage passes!" Yami gasped before embracing Mahado. "Thank you, Mahado," he whispered before planting a quick kiss on the other's lips. Mahado returned the embrace, "Your welcome," he answered, inwardly hesitant.
Flashback
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Mahado took out his cellphone before looking at the unfamiliar caller ID. "Mahado Histari," he answered. He was busy and he really wanted to get out of the office as soon as possible.
"This is Seto Kaiba," his caller said.
"How did you get this number?" he asked.
"That's not important right now. Meet me at the coffee shop near your office in ten minutes, we need to talk," Seto answered.
"I'll see you there then," Mahado replied.
Exactly ten minutes later, Seto arrived and parked hiscar in front of the coffee shop. He entered the small shop and looked for Mahado before ordering a cup of coffee.
Once their orders were served, Seto took out two laminated cardboards which oddly looked like passes.
"Here," Seto said before handing the passes to Mahado.
"What's this for?" Mahado asked.
"They're backstage passs for the concert. I want you to have them," the executive answered.
Mahado stared at the two passes. "I don't understand, why give these to me? I mean, why not give this to Yami?" he asked.
Seto frowned, "He musn't know they came from me. Mahado, do me a favor and don't tell him," he said. Having said everything he wanted to say, the CEO rose. But before he could leave, Mahado called him back.
"Fine, I won't tell him but tell me first why," said Mahado.
Seto paused, and albeit reluctantly, he said, "To prove that I'm sorry. Don't tell him," before he started his car's engine and sped away.
End Flashback
Mahado watched the former pharaoh gaze at the stage. Why did the CEO wanted to apologize? And why can't he just tell Yami? What happened between the two?
Hours later, the former High Priest smiled as he listend to Yami's ramblings. It was one of those few days where Yami acted like his enthusiastic brother.
"Mahado, you aren't listening to me, are you?"
"Huh?"
Yami sighed. "I guess I'm boring you out. I'm sorry... I guess I got out of hand... thanks by the way," he said, his voice still laced with childish excitement
Mahado smiled weakly, "Your welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the concert," he answered. They were already inside the park, enjoying the night (or what was left in it).
Silence enveloped the couple as they walked under the moonlight. No words were spoken between the two, only the casual lending of jackets and short unavoided conversations. Yami never knew if it was there when he decided Mahado was the guy for him. Somehow he just felt his heart had already made a decision.
The former pharaoh stared at his former High Priest who was gazing at the stars. He was always caring, kind and patient. It was no wonder why Yami easily fell for him.
"I think it's time for me to take you home, Yami. You're shivering already," Mahado suddenly said, snapping Yami out of his thoughts. The Yugioh simply nodded as they both made their way to the game shop.
Before they could leave the park, Yami suddenly stopped, catching Mahado's attention.
"Is something wrong, Yami?" Mahado asked, concern gracing his fair features.
"I have something to tell you," Yami answered shyly, refusing to meet his boyfriend's gaze.
"I'm all ears, go on."
"I think I'm in-love with you, Mahado."

Come a little closer
Flicker in flight
We'll have about an inch's space
But I'm here; I can breathe in
What you breathe out
Let me know if I'm doing this right
Let me know if my grip's too tight
Let me know if I can stay all of my life
Let me know if dreams can come true
Let me know if this one's yours too
Cause I see it
And I feel it right here
And I feel you right here
The vacuous night
Steps aside to give meaning
To gemini's dreaming
The moon on its back
And the seemingly
Veiled room's lit
By the same star
AN: You probably haven't heard this song yet and I know it doesn't fit with the chapter but the song was playing in my computer when I was writing the chapter. Sorry.
