Chapter 2: Will You Come?
Yugi sat in the seat next to Yami. He was exhausted. His father had beat him for half an hour, less than usual but Yugi wasn't complaining. After his father had beat him and both his parents had left, he had done something that helped him deal with the pain and sadness that he felt. He would always do this almost every night. He knew it was bad and that someday he could possibly die, but he did it anyways.
"Yugi? You okay?" Yami asked looking at Yugi with concern in his deep crimson eyes. This snapped Yugi out of his dark thoughts and Yugi looked up at Yami forcing a smile. I'm fine. Yami nodded and looked forward right as the teacher walked into the classroom.
Yugi sat on a bench underneath a cherry blossom tree. He didn't have anything at home that he could eat and he didn't have any money for school so he usually went hungry over the week. He was lucky if he got a few pieces of bread.
Yugi looked up from the ground when he heard footsteps walking towards him. He saw Yami along with three other people. He recognized the first two but the third one was a mystery.
The first one had the same blonde hair and honey brown eyes as before. He wore a green shirt with light blue jeans. The second one had her long brown hair in a braid. She wore a bright red tank top with dark gray shots that went down to her knees. The third one had brown hair with dark green eyes almost brown (A/N: Sorry, I couldn't really tell what his eye color was. Sorry if I got it wrong). He wore a white shirt with black jeans.
"Hey Yugi!" The girl said with a cheerful tone. Yugi only waved at her. He barely ever smiled.
"Yugi, these are my friends." Yami said giving Yugi a smile. "This is Anzu." He motioned to the brown haired girl.
"This is Joey." He motion to the blonde male teen. "And this is Tristan." He motioned to the brown haired male. Yugi nodded showing that he had heard Yami.
"We finished our lunch. Early for once." The one known as Anzu said glancing an accusing look at Tristan.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tristan asked staring at Anzu with confusion.
"Oh forget it." Anzu said giving up. "Anyways, we saw you sitting out here alone so we thought we would come and give you some company."
Yugi tilted his head with confusion. You care if I'm lonely? Yugi wanted to ask them that so badly but he couldn't. Not even if he tried.
"Aw! Yami did you see that? That was so cute!" Anzu said jumping up and down with a bright smile on her face. Yugi rolled his eyes and looked away from the group.
"Don't mind her," Yami said sitting down next to Yugi. Yugi looked up at Yami. "She get's excited easily." Yugi nodded and glanced at Anzu who was still jumping up and down.
"Oh! It's Seto!" Joey chirped happily as another teen walked over to where the small group stood. He had cold icy blue eyes and his hair was brown. He wore a white trench coat looking thing over what looked to be a black long sleeved shirt. He wore black pants and black boots with a belt around his waist.
"Hello puppy." He said smirking at Joey who threw him an annoyed look.
"I told you not to call me that!" Joey snapped crossing his arms and turning away from him.
"That's my cousin, Seto Kaiba." Yami said motioning to the newest member. "He rich and Joey is his boyfriend. I also live with him since my parents didn't really want me anymore."
Yugi looked away from Yami when he said that. He stared at the ground trying to not think about his parents but every time he tried to not think about his parents, he always would.
"You okay?" Yami asked with concern as he noticed the change in Yugi's attitude. Yugi looked up at Yami and nodded.
"Alright." Yami said not really believing Yugi.
"That reminds me!" Joey blurted as Seto walked over and stood behind Joey.
"What does puppy?" Seto asked with a smirk as he wrapped his arms around Joey's waist and rested his chin on Joey's right shoulder.
Joey ignored what Seto had called him and looked over at the group. "Remember that sleepover thing we were having over the weekend?"
Anzu, Yami, and Tristan all nodded. Yugi just sat there trying to figure out what the heck these guys were talking about.
"Yugi? You wanna come over?" Joey asked as he turned to Yugi waiting patiently for an answer. Yugi froze. Was he really asking if he would go over to their sleepover thing they were having? Did they really care about Yugi as a friend?
Yugi looked uncertain. How would his parents react? They were usually gone over the weekend and he knew that his parents would be gone the next week. He didn't know why though. Probably going out of town or something.
"It's fine, we aren't planning on kidnapping you or anything." Anzu said with a smile. "It'll be fun!"
Yugi looked at Yami who gave Yugi a reassuring smile. Yugi felt a strange feeling in his chest that he hadn't felt for a long time. Protection. He felt safe when he was around Yami but he didn't know why.
Yugi let out a sigh and pulled out a notepad from his pocket and a pen from his other pocket. He wrote down a few words before handing it to Yami.
"When will it be?" Yami read aloud before handing the notepad back to Yugi. "It will be on Saturday. " Yugi thought for a few moments before letting out a tired sigh and put the notepad and pen pack in his pockets. He then looked up and nodded. He knew that it would be okay because his parents usually left late at night on Friday night.
"This is awesome!" Anzu exclaimed happily with a bright smile on her face and her brown eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Alright Anzu, calm down before ya hurt yaself. An' Yugi? Bring somethin' to swim in." Joey said with an amused look on his face. Yami rolled his eyes while Tristan was in lala land.
