Chapter 2

Yami clutched his head as he entered the office. Last night was a mistake. He knew he shouldn't have taken that last shot and now he was harboring one of the worst headaches he'd had in a long time.

He entered through the glass doors of his office and sat down at his desk. Through the glass wall he saw Bakura walk through the office area as if he had all the energy in the world.

'I swear, that guy does not get hangovers' Yami thought to himself as he put a hand through his hair and picked up the documents on his desk before he heard a knock at his door. He looked up to find his assistant at the door.

"Come on in Mahado, please tell me you've brought me coffee…and an aspirin" Yami said.

"Yes and yes" Mahado replied, walking over to Yami's desk and popped the said items on the mahogany surface. "Marik said you had a big night last night and to get you something strong. He recommended vodka but I thought coffee would be more helpful" Mahado continued and Yami flashed him a smile.

"Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without you" Yami said, popping the aspirin in his mouth and taking a sip of coffee.

Mahado laughed. "As much as you needed the coffee, I also came to tell you that the new social media team is here and their currently setting up in the room just across the hall. Actually, you can probably see them from here" Mahado said, pointing to the room across the hall from them. Yami could make out five figures who were all sitting at a circular table looking at their laptops.

"Ok, I'll go there talk to them now. Did you print those welcome packs I asked you to?" Yami asked.

Mahado nodded and pointed to a small pile on the upper corner of the desk.

"Perfect" Yami said before picking the papers up and walking towards the room with the new assembled team.

(S)(P)(I)(E)(S)

"Ok, so the plan is that we do our job to the best of our ability and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Remember we have to blend in. I heard that the duel disk design room is on our floor so if anyone gets the chance, have a look around and see if you can find anything useful" Yugi whispered as he, Ryou and Malik entered the empty elevator and pressed the button for the 24th floor.

"Ehh, I still can't believe we got pulled out of our last missions. I couldn't wait to bring that asshole down" Malik pouted as the doors shut. He loved finishing missions and the fact that someone would get credit for his work was pissing him off.

"Well I'm sure this one will be a big one to crack! I mean, they have all three of us on the case; and the fact that we got checked for weapons and cameras when we first walked in makes me think there's more to this business than meets the eye" Ryou encouraged.

"Yeah, and I doubt 'making sure no one steals their duel disk design' crap is the only reason they check people. There is definitely something fishy going on here" Malik added as the elevator doors dinged to open and he walked straight out.

Unfortunately, someone had the same idea of entering the elevator doors at the same time and the two individuals walked right into each other.

"What the, could you not have waited two seconds before walking in? It's common courtesy" Malik exclaimed, not looking up at the man he'd walked into, instead focusing on picking up his laptop bag that had fallen from the collision.

Malik finally looked up after noticing the other hadn't said anything and caught eyes with Marik who was just looking at him silently.

'Pretty…' Marik thought looking at the individual in front of him. The boy had blond hair similar to his own but much more flat. His eyes were a beautiful lilac and his hands which were a nice tan, were currently angrily clutching the strap of his laptop bag.

Marik smirked. "Well considering my family owns this building I'm pretty sure my right of way beats yours but I won't press charges" Marik teased.

Malik, whose face had paled when he saw who he'd bumped into, regained some colour when the words met his ears. "You won't press charges?! Are you kidding me? I'm the one that should be pressing charges because of my laptop you - " Malik began but was cut off abruptly by Ryou.

"What Malik is trying to say is that we're sorry we bumped into you and we'll just be on our way" Ryou quickly explained before pulling Malik by the arm and walking out of the elevator followed by Yugi.

'Feisty' Marik thought to himself as he watched the three walk away until the elevator door closed on his line of vision. And he had a nice butt.

(S)(P)(I)(E)(S)

When the elevator door closed Yugi pulled Malik into the closest empty room with Ryou.

"Malik, what the hell happened? You've got to keep your cool. Remember, we don't want to bring attention to ourselves" Yugi lightly scolded Malik who hung his head in shame.

"I know, I know. He was just being so annoying and really, it was totally my right of way" Malik pouted.

Yugi sighed. "That's not the point. Anyway let's head off before we're late" he said and looked down at his phone and pulled up the room number they were supposed to go to.

They exited the room and walked down the hall until they found the room.

"I think this is it" Ryou said and they looked into the room where there was already two other people inside. One was a girl with long brown hair and kind eyes who looked about their age. The other, was a male with scruffy blond hair and looked in his early twenties as well.

The blond boy looked up when they entered. "Oh hey there! You guys must be the other three to our team. The name's Joey and this here is Mana" the blond boy said and pointed to the girl he was with.

"Pleasure to meet you guys. My name is Ryou and these two are Malik and Yugi. Have you two been waiting long?" Ryou asked as the three made their way to the circular table and started setting up.

"Nope, I got here about five minutes ago but I think Joeys been here for a bit longer; he's more familiar with the building then I am" Mana laughed and she had a childish glint in her eyes.

"Yeah, I've been working at Millennium Corp for a couple of years photocopying and getting people coffee until someone in the office stumbled across my blog. Apparently word travels fast and next minute I was promoted to be in the social media team. I've never actually been this high before. This level has heaps better views than the second floor" Joey said looking at awe out the window at the city below.

Yugi laughed. "Yeah this is our first time in the building too. We used to work at KaibaCorp but they gave all the social media work to the new interns who are about 15 years old. Apparently we're too old" Yugi pouted.

That was their cover story for being hired. And technically it wasn't all a lie, I mean they were working for KaibaCorp.

"I'm sure they don't know what they're missing. Well I'm glad you're with us; I feel like we're going to make a great team" Joey said, patting Yugi on the back before sitting back down in his own chair.

Yugi smiled back at Joey but the smile didn't quite reach his eyes.

No sooner had he opened his laptop and started booting it up he heard a sharp knock at the door. Yugi turned around to face the door and saw Yami standing there. By Ra, the man was even more attractive in real life.

Yami looked across at all the occupants in the room until his eyes landed on Yugi. Their eyes locked and Yami swore he stopped breathing for a moment. The boy at the table was beautiful; he possessed the kindest amethyst eyes he had ever seen and a face that could cure cancer. He stared at the boy for a moment longer before he realised he hadn't spoken a word since he'd come in twenty seconds ago.

"Ahem. My name is Yami Atemu and I'm the head director here at Millennium Corp. I just came to welcome you all to your new positions as social media representatives. I've compiled some paperwork of the ins and outs of the company and what we're looking for in terms of our social media presence. My assistant Mahado will come in later on today to check up on how you all are going and if you have any questions, feel free to ask him" Yami stated as he walked to the table and handed out the welcome packs.

His hand brushed Yugi's as he handed him the paper bundle and he saw the smaller boy blush lightly at the contact. His heart skipped a beat as he finished handing the papers out.

Yugi stood up and began introducing everyone. "My name is Yugi, and this is Ryou, Malik, Mana and Joey" Yugi said. "We will do our very best" Yugi ended with a slight bow.

Yami smiled at Yugi, nodded to the group and walked out of the room.

Yugi fell back onto his seat and tried to calm his beating heart. Why did he have to freak out when he saw Yami? The guy was gorgeous that was for sure.

Yugi was pulled out of his thoughts by Ryou's voice "Is anyone up for coffee? According to this welcome pack there's a coffee machine around the corner from this room."

"I'd like one" Malik said. "Make that two" Joey added.

Mana and Yugi declined but offered to help carry them but Ryou politely declined.

When Ryou left, Malik started chatting animatedly to Joey and Mana, and Yugi was left to his thoughts on a certain tri-coloured haired director.

(S)(P)(I)(E)(S)

Bakura walked through the office and grinned internally when he saw people jump out of the way from where he was approaching or avert eye contact with him. It made him happy; people knew he was the boss and they knew their place.

He walked past the kitchen area and stopped when he saw a white-haired boy at the coffee machine, obviously struggling with working the appliance. Bakura had never seen the boy before because he would have definitely remembered his face. The boy was adorable and looked about as innocent as a puppy. His brown eyes were squinting in concentration and the boy bit his bottom lip as he played around with the buttons on the machine before he gave a frustrated sigh and hit the machine hard. The coffee machine, as if teasing him, made a gurgling noise and sprayed a small amount of milk foam at the poor boy in front of it. The said boy started muttering profanities under his breath in what Bakura could only describe as the cutest British accent he had heard in a long time.

Knowing this was his cue, Bakura slyly walked up behind the boy and reached over him to press the correct button to make a coffee.

Ryou's sour mood turned to shock when he felt an arm reach over him to turn the coffee machine on. He swiftly turned around to come face to face with Bakura, one of the directors of Millennium Corp. Even though he knew there would be someone there when he turned around, he did not expect it to be Bakura or that the man would be standing so close to him.

"H-hi" Ryou stuttered, going to take a step back but feeling the bench against his lower back.

"Hello" Bakura breathed back. He then reached behind Ryou's head and grabbed a paper towel and wiped the tip of Ryou's nose.

"You know, if you treat her nicely, she does actually make a decent cup of coffee" Bakura smirked.

Ryou, realizing Bakura would have seen the whole thing, felt his cheeks redden slightly.

"Aha, sorry" Ryou apologized. He turned around and replaced the now full cup of tea with an empty cup and pressed the machine as he'd seen Bakura do and watched as it merrily began making another cup of coffee.

He then turned around and realized Bakura was still looking at him, and there was something in his eyes that he couldn't explain. Ryou stared back, willing his voice to work. He had a mission to do dammit, why couldn't he get his mouth to work?

"Ryou, are you in here?" they heard a voice call out and Malik appeared at the doorway.

"Oh there you are, we were wondering what was taking you so long" Malik said, walking up to Ryou and giving his shoulder a tight squeeze.

Bakura's eyes narrowed at the newcomer and the hand that was currently placed on Ryou's shoulder and it was then that Malik noticed he was standing there.

"Ah Bakura. My name is Malik and Ryou and I are part of the new social media team. It's a pleasure to meet you. We've heard so much about you through the company's website" Malik conversed, putting his hand out to shake hands with Bakura.

Bakura looked at the hand then back at Malik's face and did not raise his hand to meet the other's.

Malik awkwardly put his hand back at his side and turned to grab two of the coffees Ryou had made.

"Well we'll just be on our way then" Malik said as Ryou finished making the third cup of coffee. Malik then left the kitchen with Ryou in tow. Ryou turned around and looked back at Bakura who was standing there staring right back at Ryou.

"What an absolute asshole! Like he couldn't shake my hand. He's a piece of work" Malik exclaimed as soon as they entered back into their work room.

"What happened?" Joey asked.

"Well Ryou and I met one of the directors, Bakura, and he wouldn't even shake my hand back so I felt like an idiot" Malik complained.

"Ah yeah, Bakura is known for being an asshole. Yami is the nicest of the three directors but even he's a bit scary from time to time" Joey explained. Yugi's head perked up at the mention of Yami's name.

"I'm sure they're nice, I mean everyone has a good side" Mana added.

"Yeah except for Bakura and Marik" Malik pouted. He had not had a good day with the two of them and it wasn't even lunch time yet.

"I'm sure things will improve in the afternoon!" Mana said, trying to cheer Malik up. Malik nodded mutely and sat back down at his laptop and they soon started chatting about the content in their welcome packs.

Ryou was listening but couldn't help his mind thinking back to a certain white-haired director who was way too good-looking for his own good.

'Dammit' Ryou thought. What had he gotten himself into?
