FUCKING HELL. That was the only way he thought of this morning. Screeching, blaring, obnoxious FUCKING HELL. He thought sourly as he chucked the plastic hunk of technology at the farthest wall in his room at the wall. Its chord ripped out out of the socket and whipped him against the back of his head in the process. Fucking brilliant, he growled as he glared at the now blank screen of his alarm clock. It had ripped him out of the beautiful dream where he was king of the castle and women flocked to him in desperation for his attention. He had no intention of going to school, but he had set the alarm out of habit. The sweet rapture of bliss was taken the moment he had raised his hand to smack his clock silent. The thing had to have moved since his hand came in contact with the corner of the nightstand instead. The pain erupted in his palm and the swing had him tumble to the ground from the warm embrace of his sheets, only to be followed by the sharp pain and crash from his alarm clock greeting his head unceremoniously not too long after. He muttered a string of curses as he got up off the floor of his room and stretched.

He was up now though, so he may as well get dressed and go. A stream of uncensored curses grumbled from his throat as he stepped out of his room until he felt something latch on to his leg. He looked down and the hardness in his eyes softened instantly as he looked at the head of his younger brother who now clung to his leg. The terrible start up instantly washed away from him at the sight of the bright and wide smile that graced the younger boy.

"Morning Yami," he cheered happily and actually smiled wider at the familiar greeting of his hair being ruffled by his elder brother.

"Morning Yugi, you ready for school? Why aren't you already on the way actually?" Yami frowned at the realization as he looked up to see his mother who let out a sigh.

"He wanted to go to school with you." She said and kissed his elder son on his cheek. "Sleep well honey? I heard quite a ruckus in your room."

"Yeah, just tumbled outta bed is all." Yami smiled at his mother and looked at Yugi who had the biggest puppy dog eyes set on him. Fucking hell...so I am going to school. You're so damn lucky I love you bro. He thought to himself as he chuckled and ruffled Yugi's hair once again. "Alright, go finish getting ready so I can get ready too. Don't give mom a hard time OK?" A loud cheer cut him off and Yugi dragged his mother happily to get ready to leave with Yami. With a small sigh he scratched at his chest as he headed to the bathroom down the hall with a little more spring in his step.

The rest of the usual routine was done in a rush as Yugi forgot that he had to be on time today and halfway to his school he realized he needed to have something for show and tell. Now there was nothing they could get for him, nor could they go back home and be back to school in time so now Yami found himself before a class of six year-old kids who looked up at him in awe. The teacher was kind enough to let this slide, a bit amused in her own way and had gave a hint to Yami how much Yugi talked about him to everyone. He did not really understand what was being said about him at the moment, his mind still hazy from the late night and rude awakening he had not too long ago.

"And that's my brother!" Yugi repeated for the umpteenth time happily as Mokubah came in and with him came in his brother Seto Kaiba. The two teen boys looked to one another and sighed a little with amusement at their predicament. Seto glared at him to keep silent of this while Yami glared a little back at him to keep the same. The rest of the class gaped in awe and asked a million and one questions to the two elder boys who were among them after Mokubah was allowed to talk about his brother much like Yugi did of Yami. The teacher than apologized to the teens and the class thanked them for spending time.

Anyone who saw them would think there was some tension between the two, but in fact the two had a mutual understanding of one another. Their brothers were best friends and they were good friends in secret as well. As they stepped out of the elementary school gates, Yami turned left to head to the mall but soon found himself dragged in to a car by Seto.

"The kids are watching dumb ass." He said in a grunt and Yami scowled in response.

"Can I help you?" He shrugged off the tug but got in to the car anyway. He knew Yugi was watching from class to make sure he headed to school as well. "And I'm not the dumb ass, you're the dumb ass!"

"Says the guy who doesn't know where his school is." Seto sneered to him.

"I know where it is! I just wasn't heading there."

"While your brother and his classmates are staring at us from their classroom?"

"So what?" He stuck his tongue out at Seto.

"Real mature," Seto said with a smile though irritation is clear in his eyes.

"Right back at ya." Yami said as the two flipped one another off in silence.

As per usual, the car parked a good distance from the school but stayed until Seto was safely through the gates. He left Yami to his own demise at this point as he looked at his watch to see he had enough time to reach his classroom and take the exam that was currently in session. "We have a test today...but you probably don't give a shit." He walked off without another word, Yami left with his mouth open to retort but no chance to do so.

What the fuck does he mean by that? Who the hell does he think he is? So what if he has a million bucks! Not like he cares if I pass or fail! No one gives a shit. Yami ranted in his mind as he glared at Seto's back as his mind played images of him suddenly suffocating from said glare. After a few deep breaths though, he glanced between the school and the gates and turned to the gates but the news of the test nagged at him. Ra fucking dammit! He clicked his tongue in distaste as he turned and headed in to the school. He would show Seto that he could easily out do him on the exam.

As he fantasized about Seto apologizing to him as if some insignificant worm unworthy of Yami's presence, he is brought back to reality by a crash. He managed to keep his balance enough to not fall to the ground and looked at the person responsible. Before he could even say anything the girl responsible spoke up. A pair of sincere grey-blue eyes looked up at him with concern dripping with apology. He felt the corners of his mouth twitch as if to smile but he forced a firm line.

"I'm sorry," she said quickly without a thought. "I wasn't looking where I was going! Are you alright?" She had managed to catch herself from unceremoniously coming in contact with the floor as well it seemed and he felt a small wave of relief wash through him.

The fuck?! She should have fallen, the hell am I feeling relieved for? "You better be sorry! Watch where you're goin' next time!" Yami viciously snapped and she winced in reflex. He did not like that reaction and did not get why though. Today was not his day and he had pretty much had it with everything already. "Dumb bitch…." He muttered and walked around her, his shoulder jostled her a bit roughly as she stood there in slight shock. He looked back over at her one last time though and noted she was actually pretty cute looking. She was not overly curvy nor overly skinny. She had long hair too, which he never really liked since it meant the girl is high maintenance from his experience. It suited her though. He normally went for girls with bigger breasts and trendy short hair, but she had a nice pair from what he could see and the long hair suited her. His gaze locked with hers once again and he walked away with a smirk. So maybe today hasn't been so bad. He thought.
