Serenity Wheeler is what people call a good girl. She does what she is told, especially if Joey is the one telling her to do something. Yami Mouto is the school rebel with a slight temper, especially if that temper involves protecting his friends. What happens when these two complete opposites meet, and then are introduced later on? How will they affect each other in the end?
Chapter Seven: The Real WorldI DON'T OWN YGO! If I did do you really think I would writing on fanfic? I should say not! I would be writing in my Kame Shop… thank you very much!
Yami leans against the bleachers at lunch while he listens to Tristan, Duke, and Yugi talking. His gaze is drawn to Serenity who is walking with Mai and Téa over to the guys. His eyes remain guarded but his lips curve slightly as he watches his girlfriend. He thinks back to last night and smiles as he remembers the way Serenity made him feel. Yami feels Yugi nudge him and he gathers himself. Yugi follows his gaze and notices he is watching Serenity.
Yugi lowers his voice. "What is going on with you and Serenity?"
Yami looks over at Yugi and lowers his own voice. "I will tell you when…"
Yami trails off as the girls wave at them and head over to them. Duke stands up when Serenity nears them and bows to her. She tries not to laugh as he holds out his hand while Tristan copies him. Serenity looks over at Yami who nods and she walks over to him.
Serenity smiles at Yugi. "Hey Yug!"
Yugi smiles back at her, a faint blush tinting his cheeks. "Hey Serenity. Do you want to go to the movies sometime?"
Everyone stops talking, waiting for her answer. Serenity shakes her head. "Yug… I…" She looks over to Yami for help and he shrugs his shoulders.
Mai shakes her head and gives Serenity a gentle nudge. "Just say yes Hun."
Serenity shakes her head no before walking away from the group. Yami follows her and pulls her under the bleachers, where no one can see them. He waits a minute and Serenity sits down mortified. Yami crosses his arms while her face turns red.
Serenity covers her face with her hands, trying to muffle her laughter. "I just didn't know what to do."
Yami frowns before kneeling down in front of her. "I was shocked he asked you."
Serenity giggles before laughing harder. "Did you see Duke and Tristan?"
Yami nods and relaxes as he realizes she is not laughing at Yugi. "What about Yugi?"
Serenity stops laughing, but her eyes are still dancing when she lowers her hands. "I think we should tell them."
Yami takes her hand and nods. "Are we ready for this?"
Serenity nods and then shrugs. "I hope so. What are they going to say?"
Yami grins knowingly. "Oh I dare say a few choice words."
Yami helps Serenity up and leads her from under the bleachers. They smile at each other before walking toward their friends. Téa notices them holding hands and she nudges Mai. Mai nudges Joey who just walked up and before long everyone is staring at the couple.
Yami steps forward and glares at them. "What's the problem?"
Téa stands up now. "You want to know the problem? You are holding Serenity's hand."
Joey shrugs when everyone looks at him. "What's da problem with that?"
Mai looks at Joey thoughtfully. "Why are you so calm?"
Serenity looks helplessly at Yami before talking. "Yugi, I can't go to the movies with you. You see Yami and I are…"
Yami interrupts and finishes for her. "We are a couple now Aibou."
Yugi wordlessly stands up and walks away. Joey goes after him while Serenity sits down on the bleachers. Téa walks over to her and glares at her. "You think you can just come here and take Yami away from me? What about Yugi? Look at what you did to him!"
Yami interrupts Téa. "Téa that's enough!"
Téa glares at Yami as well before stomping away. Mai frowns at Serenity before going after her friend. Duke goes after Mai while Tristan goes after Joey. Yami sits down beside Serenity and takes her hand in his.
Serenity sniffles. "Now what?"
Yami shrugs. "They'll come around." The bell rings and the couple walk inside to finish up their day.
A few hours later Serenity collapses on her bed while Joey walks into the kitchen. Her eyes close as the doorbell rings. She groans before yelling at Joey to get the door. Serenity hears Mai's voice and she continues to lie on her bed. She kicks off her socks and wiggles her toes before sitting up. Serenity stands up and walks over to her closet to change her clothes. A few minutes later another knock sounds on the door and Serenity is shocked to hear Yugi's voice along with Yami's. She groans and hurriedly pulls on a pair of faded jeans and a baby blue tank top. She takes her hair down as someone knocks on her door. "Who is it?"
Yugi clears his throat. "It's me."
Serenity frowns before walking over to her desk and sitting down. "It's open."
Yugi opens the door and notices her opening up a book. "Am I interrupting you?"
Serenity closes the book. "No. You can sit down ya know."
Yugi sits down on her bed after closing the door. "How long have you and Yami…?"
Serenity looks out the window. "Just yesterday."
Yugi nods and his expression clears. "So are you happy with him?"
Serenity looks back and she smiles. "Yes, but why do you guys call him Pharaoh?"
Yugi hesitates and then sighs. "Well because he used to be one five thousand years ago. You see about three years ago I found this puzzle…" Yugi holds up his millennium puzzle. "… and when I put it together there he was, only he didn't have any of his memories. We had to share a body until this past spring. To make a long story short he finally got his memories and then we had to duel. I won which meant that he could finally go into the afterlife, but the first day of summer he was back, with his own body."
Serenity smiles and her eyes widen. "So he is a for real pharaoh?"
Yugi grins now. "Yeah, and I am so glad that he picked you Serenity."
Serenity blushes. "What about you?"
Yugi grins and lowers his voice. "I'm more into Téa."
Serenity flips her hair over her shoulder. "Well then I'll help you get her."
Yugi shakes his head. "I appreciate it and all but…"
Serenity grins teasing Yugi. "But what? Are you afraid she just might say yes?"
The two friends giggle sweetly before launching into a discussion about school. Joey and Mai smile at each other before going into Joey's room. Yami opens Serenity's door and Yugi jumps off the bed. He tells Serenity goodbye before walking into the living room. Yami closes her door and Serenity watches the tough guy exterior melt away. She crosses the room to him and wraps her arms around him.
Yami holds Serenity close to him breathing in her scent of vanilla and brown sugar. "What happened?"
Serenity smiles happily and lays her head on Yami's shoulder. "He's happy for us… Pharaoh."
Yami pulls away sharply and then relaxes when he sees the teasing glint in her eyes. "So he told you?"
Serenity nods allowing Yami to pull her up against him. "Don't worry you will always be just Yami to me."
Yami smiles before kissing Serenity passionately. She moans softly as he leads her to her bed. They fall down on the bed and Serenity giggles enjoying the feel of his weight. Yami smiles down at her before rolling on his side and dragging her close to him. Serenity nestles her head on his shoulder before telling him about her day. Yami smiles as she describes her last class.
Serenity makes a face. "And then my teacher was like Ms. Wheeler in Japan students pay more attention to their work."
Yami runs his fingers through her hair. "Why haven't you been paying attention?"
Serenity lowers her eyes. "Various reasons."
Yami decides not to push the issue. "Fair enough. So what happened with you and Yugi?"
Serenity looks back up at him. "Oh well that is simple. He is more into Téa, but don't tell him I told you."
Yami smirks before chuckling. "Well why did he act interested in you?"
Serenity thinks for a moment. "It could be that everyone treats him like they do me. You all expected him to go for me, because we are "naïve". It's is just typical."
Yami thinks back for a minute and realizes she is right. "Looks like you two have a lot in common."
Serenity rolls her eyes before kissing Yami softly. He quickly dominates the kiss leaving Serenity breathless. Yami rest his hand on her hip and is shocked when she rolls on her back. She looks at him and smiles as he leans down to kiss her. His hand moves under her tank top and Serenity does nothing to stop him. Serenity moves Yami's bangs back from his face in order to see his eyes better. She gives a small nod at his questioning look and he once more kisses her, only this time his kiss is needy and possessive. Serenity softly moans as his hand rest on her side. Just before Yami can go any farther a knock sounds on her door. They break apart quickly. Yami pulls out his duel deck while Serenity pulls her shirt down. Joey opens the door in time to see Serenity leaning over the duel cards. He grins and before long the whole gang is over having pizza and observing the new couple.
