Me: "The virus on my computer is finally gone! I literally cried when my computer gave me a notice that I had 29 viruses!"

Jay: "Ha you've been bored as hell these past few days."

Me: "Yup, but my friend made me a collage of Rob Lowe in his teenage years." *drools*

Jay: "How come you never stare at me that long? We look basically the same."

Free: "Because your ass personality takes away the outer beauty. Anyways read on!"

Yugi and Yami exchanged cell phone numbers before Yugi waved goodbye to Yami and helped his brother inside the house. It was going fine until they reached the stairs.

Yugi moaned loudly. "Malik and Ryou come help me get my big oaf of a brother up the stairs!" he yelled.

"Hey! I am not an oaf!" Atemu glared playfully.

Yugi was about to make another remark, but was interrupted by the pounding of the stairs. Malik was coming down with a giant smirk on his face. Ryou came trotting behind him.

"Got yourself a pair of walking stick, aye Atemu?" Malik teased as he let out a short chuckle.

Atemu stuck out one of his crutches and whacked Malik in the shin who yelped in surprise.

"Cut it out Mal." Yugi pleaded. "Can we please just get him upstairs?"

"Yeah ok." Ryou nodded.

Ryou and Malik crossed and held onto each other arms, creating a chair type throne thing for Atemu to sit on so he could be carried upstairs, while Yugi got the crutches and stayed behind them in case his brother slipped backwards. They headed up the stairs, grunting all the way.

"Ra Atemu! How much do you weigh?" Malik, who was red in the face, asked.

Atemu bopped him on the head with his hand and snorted. "For your information your wimpy little arms are carrying a male of pure muscle."

"I'm wimpy huh? I should just let go right now and let you fall to your dumb ass death."

"If you did that then he would land on Yugi, smart ass." Ryou mumbled as they finally reached the top of the stairs.

Malik and Ryou let Atemu climb down from their arms as Yugi handed his brother his crutches.

"You need to practice going up and down the stairs later. These guys won't be here 24/7." Yugi said as he watched Atemu swing his way into the den.

"Yeah I will later."

The three friends watched as he walked on the carpet and muffled their giggles with their hands when he put his foot on the watery yet squishy part of the carpet. Atemu turned his head to look at them.

"Malik did you piss all over my carpet?" he asked with total seriousness.

This only caused the three to laugh harder.

~Later that Night~

"I was walking home from this entertainment and bar place downtown and then this guy jumped me when I was along those abandoned apartments."

"The one's by Poplar Creevey?" Yugi asked.

"Yeah." Atemu nodded. "He was a pretty big guy and he had my pinned down on the ground. He had a gun, obviously, and pressed it to my temple. I thought he was going to flat out kill me, but he only threatened to unless I didn't give him any money. And I'm no idiot- don't even say anything Malik- so I cleaned out my pockets and most of my wallet. He seemed pretty pleased and got off me. But he didn't know that a cop was coming down the street. The cop saw us and started running towards the man. The man shot me in the leg, to distract the cop I guess and then he ran off. And that, Yugi and Ryou, is why you found me in the hospital." he explained.

"Hey, what about me?" Malik glared.

"Ok, fine. Yugi, Ryou, and creature." Atemu smirked smugly.

"Was your heart about to explode out of your chest?" Ryou asked, ignoring the rant between the other two boys.

"Who's wouldn't?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Mine, because I'm shining with awesomeness!" Malik grinned as he jumped onto the table and did a model pose.

"Fine hot shot. I'll go buy a gun, you wait here, and wait for me to blow your brains senselessly. Oh wait, that won't work because you don't have any brains!" Atemu snarled as he grabbed Malik's shirt and ripped him off the table.

Yugi turned to Ryou. "I fear what would happen if we left these two alone in the house for an entire day."

Ryou put his hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I'm afraid there would be no house to come back to my friend." he faked a sympathetic smile.

Yugi shoved him playfully.

"Alright you two." Atemu pointed at Yugi's friends. "I appreciate your help, but it's getting late. Ryou your mom will go on a screaming rampage if your not home. And Malik, well, I don't give a damn what you do, just get out of this house."

Malik raised his finger and was about to say something, but got interrupted.

"And that includes the Game Shop." Atemu rolled his eyes.

The albino and "creature" nodded and waved before heading down the stairs.

"Go lock up, will you Yugi?" Atemu asked tiredly as he laid himself more comfortably on the couch.

Yugi nodded and did just that. He then helped his brother get situated before heading upstairs to his room. After taking off his clothes and putting on his pajamas he checked his phone and found four new text messages waiting for him. They were all from Yami asking how he was, or telling him that he missed him. Yugi smiled and replied to all of them in one text. He then crawled into bed and placed the cellular device on his bedside table.

He was exhausted and second by second he grew sleepier. He was about to fall into a slumber of darkness, but his phone started to vibrate continuously. Yugi huffed and grabbed his phone and opened it.

"Hello?" he yawned, making it obvious that he was tired.

"Hey Yugi, it's Yami. I'm sorry did I wake you up?"

Yugi perked up some and let a little smile linger on his face. "Nah I was just dozing."

"Oh, ok. This won't be long, but I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow."

"We have school tomorrow." Yugi chuckled.

"Yeah, I could pick you up beforehand and we could go to breakfast, then school, and after that we could go see a movie or something."

Yugi had to think about this for a second. Sure he wanted to go, but he also needed to take care of his brother. After all, Atemu couldn't run the shop very well with his leg. One of his old friends would be helping him during the day, but it was Yugi's job to help out in the afternoon.

"Ok, sounds good." Yugi heard himself say.

"Great! I'll pick you up early. Bye."

"Bye." Yugi said before closing his phone.

He ran his hand through his hair before dialing a number into the phone. He listened to the other line ring a few times before a grouchy voice picked up.

"Who the hell is this? Calling at 11:34 at night? Seriously, what the hell?"

Yugi rolled his eyes. "Aw come on Mal, don't be such a sour puss."

"Yugi?" the boy grumbled groggily. "Sorry, I'm just…tired." he yawned twice. "Anyways, did you need something?"

"Er Yeah. Actually I was wondering if you could take my shift at the Game Shop tomorrow?" he pleaded.

"Ugh, but I have plans with Marik tomorrow afternoon…" Malik wined.

"Please Malik! You can bring Marik over with you! Puh-leaaaase!"

There was quiet whispers from the other line before something was said from the other line. But it was not Malik.

"Don't worry bout it, we'll be there. But you owe us, short stuff." then the line went dead.

Yugi brought the phone away from his ear. "What the hell? Was that Marik…?" he asked himself before shaking his head and lying back down.

Maybe now, he could get some sleep.
