Chapter 5: Waking Up Next to You
Anzu opened her eyes and pulled her phone out from underneath her pillow. She then checked the time trying to not let her eyes water. It was like looking straight at the sun!
The time read 9:45 a.m. So it was time to wake everyone up. Anzu sat up and looked over at Yami's bed but noticed that he wasn't there. She then looked over at Yugi's bed and instantly froze. Yami was laying there in Yugi's bed. Yugi was snuggled up close to Yami while Yami had his arms wrapped around Yugi protectively.
Anzu quickly took a picture and woke Tristan and Joey up.
"Wha?" Tristan muttered half awake.
"What did you-" Joey started but Anzu slapped her hand over Joey's mouth.
"Shh! Do you want to wake them up?" She whispered harshly as she removed her hand before Joey decided to lick her.
"Wake who up?" Tristan whispered and Anzu pointed at the two sleeping teens.
"About time Yami found someone," Joey whispered with a smirk.
"They're so adorable!" Anzu whispered as she tried to keep herself from squealing.
"We should probably leave them be." Tristan said as he stood up and walked over to the doorway followed by Joey and then Anzu.
Yami opened his eyes a few hours later and tried to sit up but he felt someone hold him down. He looked down and saw Yugi snuggled up close to his chest. Yami had to practically fight the blush that tried to form on his face and he almost lost to.
Yugi opened his eyes and looked up at Yami. He instantly remembered what had happened last night and a blush formed on his face. He let go and sat up and Yami also sat up.
"Sleep good?" Yami asked giving Yugi a soft smile.
"Yeah," Yugi said quietly, barely audible, but Yami could hear him clearly. Yami smiled and stood up. He then helped Yugi stand up and the two headed to the kitchen. Yami was glad that Yugi was talking to him now. He was slightly disappointed that he wouldn't talk to the others, but Yami decided that Yugi would be ready on his own time.
"How long can you stay over?" Yami asked as he turned the corner with Yugi following close by.
"It doesn't matter. My...they won't my back home today or tomorrow or over the week. They get back the next Monday." Yugi explained quietly and said 'them' instead of 'parents'. He didn't really think of them as parents anymore.
"Alright." Yami replied and they finally got to the kitchen. Joey and Anzu stood in the kitchen. Joey almost ate the bacon but Anzu snatched it up right as Joey raised his hand to grab one.
"No. Bad dog." Anzu teased as she pushed Joey out of the kitchen. "Tristan, take over for Joey. It seems he can't handle it."
Tristan walked over and continued cooking in Joey's place. Anzu glanced at the doorway and when she saw Yugi and Yami standing there she turned fully around and gave the two a wide grin.
"I see you two love birds are up." She chirped and laughed when the two blushed and looked away from each other.
"We aren't...it isn't like that Anzu." Yami muttered looking up at her still fighting his blush. Why was he blushing? He didn't care about Yugi like that, did he? They were just friends! But for some strange reason, Yami felt disappointed being just Yugi's friend.
"Whatever you say." Anzu said turning back to the stove to flip the pancake. "Anyways, I have good news!"
"What is dat? Ya didn't mention anyting 'bout good news," Joey stated sitting at the table.
"Yeah, that's because I was waiting for the lovebirds to wake up." Anzu pointed out which caused both Yami and Yugi to blush again.
"Foods ready," Tristan announced putting the food on the counter as well as some plates.
After about half an hour everybody had eaten and was full. Yugi had eaten more than Joey, surprisingly. Joey ate only seven plates while Yugi ate thirteen.
"Must have been hungry." Anzu said as she cleaned things up alongside Joey and Tristan. When everything was washed, dried, and put away, they all sat at the table staring at Anzu who stood.
"Alright Anzu," Joey started crossing his arms over his chest. "What's ta good news?"
"Well," Anzu said with a bright smile. "My girlfriend! She's coming over soon! She's going to be here tonight!"
A smile grew on Joey's face. "My sister! She's really coming over tonight?" Anzu nodded and bounced up and down in excitement.
"I can't wait!" She squealed. "I haven't seen her in a full month!"
Yugi watched the two with confusion. Tristan was off in lala land. He then looked up at Yami who had an amused smile on his face.
"Anzu's girlfriend, Serenity, is Joey's sister. Serenity lives a while away so Anzu only sees her once or twice a month."
Yugi nodded and turned back to the excited Anzu. He smiled and sat back in his chair. He would love to have someone like that in his life. Someone he could love. But that was a joke.
"Do you think we could do someting special?" Joey asked when he finally calmed down from his excitement. "How long is she going to be here?"
"Well, since school is out this whole week and next week for rebuilding, she is going to be staying for those two whole weeks." Anzu replied and glanced at Joey. He had a slightly angered face. "Don't worry, she has school out those two weeks to. She won't be missing anything."
"That is good news." Yami said giving Anzu a smile. "I'm happy for you Anzu."
Anzu smiled and then looked back at the group. "I think that Joey's idea is a great idea. We should do something in celebration. We should go to the dance club tomorrow night."
"It'll be fun." Tristan mumbled halfheartedly as he only heard half of the conversation. He was probably thinking about Miho again, the girl he liked.
"I agree." Yami said with another smile.
"Alright. Then we will all go!" Anzu said as she bounced around the room again. Yugi watched her with confusion. What did she mean by 'we will all go'? Did she mean him to?
"What's wrong Yugi?" Tristan asked coming out of lala land and looking at Yugi's confused and worried look.
Yugi pulled a notepad from his pants pocket and a pen as well. He then wrote on the paper and handed it to Yami.
"Do you mean me to? Is what he asked." Yami read aloud and handed the notepad back to Yugi.
"Of course! You're our friend! We would never leave one of us out!" Anzu said walking over to Yugi and hugged him. Yami felt jealous but he didn't know why. Why did he feel like this? Was he...falling for Yugi? No. That couldn't be possible. They were friends! Right?
"Uh, Yami? Earth to Yami?" Anzu said waving a hand in front of Yami's face. Yami blinked and snapped out of this thoughts.
"Huh? What? Oh, sorry Anzu. Just thinking." Yami said looking at Anzu's impatient face which grew into a playful evil smirk.
"Thinking huh? About what? The little shorty over there?" Anzu asked pointing at Yugi. Yami fought back a blush and looked away.
"No! Anzu stop that!" Yami yelled playfully as he chased her around the kitchen. Yugi watched with an amused smile. He was happy for once, and for the first time, he did feel scared because he knew that he was safe with this group of-no, with his friends.
