Dedicated to Laura because I love her and she loves me.
And she sent me Roxas them >:3
"Did you hear? We're getting an exchange student today!"
"Seriously? Waah, how cool! Where're they from?"
"America! Eee, I hope it's a guy! American guys are so hot!"
"Oh my God, I know! But it'd be cool if it was a girl too, yanno. She could totally tell us what the latest fashions are in the US."
The two girls erupted into giggles.
"We're getting an exchange student?" Jounouchi asked, turning his head from the girls to his left, where Honda sat. Honda rolled his eyes, tapping his mechanical pencil on the desk.
"Sensei said last week. Weren't you listening?" he asked. Seeing the guilty grin on Jou's face, he shook his head. "Nevermind. Stupid question."
"Heh, what can I say? He's usually announcing some test or something - I've learned to tune him out!" Jou said, grin widening. Honda merely rolled his eyes, giving a dramatic sigh.
"I wonder what they look like," Anzu said, sliding into her seat in front of Jou. She sat, turned, a small smile on her lips. "Yuugi would have been so excited…"
"Yeah, well, Yuugi ain't here," Jounouchi said bitterly, scowling. Honda stopped his tapping, choosing to lean over and flick his friend on the head.
"Hey, no negative thinking. It makes wrinkles," Honda said. Smirking, he added, "None of the girls would love the 'Great Duelist Jounouchi' if he has wrinkles!"
Swatting the brunet's hand away, Jou's scowl turned into a grin.
"Yeah, you're right. Someone's gotta attract the ladies. And since you're incapable…" he laughed as it was Honda's turn to scowl.
"How was I supposed to know she had a boyfriend!" Honda exclaimed, face tinged red.
"Gee, I dunno. I thought the fact she was always clinging to that guy's arm would've been-"
"You guys, shut up! Sensei's here!" Anzu said in a hushed voice. Jou and Honda stopped talking, as did most of the others who noticed their sensei was in the room. Their sensei made his way to his desk, sitting on his chair and clicking a few times on the computer. Glancing around the room, he clicked a bit more. Meanwhile the announcements went on, though no one was listening. They rarely did.
The announcements finishing, their teacher stood up and went to the front of the room.
"I'm guessing you're all aware of the fact we're getting a transfer student today," the teacher said tiredly. He continued talking, but the eyes of every student went to the door when it began opening.
"-will only be here for a few months. Ah, there you are Yuugi!" Sensei said, raising an eyebrow when he saw the scowling teenager glaring holes in the floor.
"Yuugi!" Jounouchi and Anzu exclaimed, both standing up to get a better view of Yuugi.
It was the same Yuugi, for the most part. Same amethyst eyes, pale skin, same red/black/blond hair, and… well, that was about it. Yuugi now had his hair, not in the customary spikes, but rather letting it hand down, cut so it was about chin-length, and in layers. His hair was mostly blond, but it was black in back, and there were a couple of red streaks in random places. He was now taller, about eye-level with the teacher's shoulder, rather then his stomach. The same height as Yami…
Yami! How was he going to react when he found out Yuugi was back! Ever since the shorter boy had left, Yami had been wallowing in a pit of angst. Would sulk for hours in his room at the Game Shop, staring at a picture of Yuugi. Rarely did he talk, which caused great concern for his friends. But… maybe now the old Yami would come back!
Speaking of Yami, where was he? Jounouchi wondered. He had this homeroom too (which was also their first hour, seeing as how most students had their first hour here…), so he should be here, but… was he sick or something?
"-hamburgers. Preferably from Burger King, since McDonald's are kind of greasy. Though I guess Domino City doesn't have a Burger King, does it? Mmm… yeah. I like chocolate too - Lindt chocolate is my favorite. Preferably dark, but white chocolate is good too."
Realizing Yuugi had been talking, Jou snapped out of his thoughts. Since when did Yuugi think burgers were greasy? Before, it didn't matter how greasy they were, since Yuugi would eat it. But now… he looked at Anzu and Honda, raising an eyebrow.
"Anyone have any questions for him?" Sensei asked. Anzu's hand shot up, and he nodded at her.
"How can you be an exchange student if you're from here?" she asked Yuugi, her voice soft and hesitant.
"Because if you were listening, you'd know it was already said that I'm going back to the US in a few months. My mom got a new job," Yuugi said, staring at Anzu. This wasn't the Yuugi she knew. The Yuugi she knew would never have said something like. The Yuugi Anzu knew would have repeated what the sensei said, without the 'if you were listening' remark.
Turning slightly to look at Jou and Honda, she frowned.
"We need to talk to him at lunch," she whispered. Jou nodded, but Honda shrugged.
"You can go sit by Honda then…" the sensei said, glancing at the clock and seeing there was still five minutes of homeroom left. "The rest of you can talk."
The teacher went to sit behind his desk, going back on the computer. Yuugi went and sat on Honda's right, the last desk in the row. Saying a quiet 'hello' to Honda, Yuugi laid his head on the desk, a small sigh escaping his lips.
Do you like it?
Do you love it?
Do you want to masturbate to it?
Yami appears next chapter.
Love you too.
