Recap!

Operation Y.X.Y was going amazingly well, Yugi was in a hot outfit and the girls had taught him how to sexy dance while Yami was watching. Yami joined the dance and it looked like everything was going to end with "Be my boyfriend" when Teá turned up.

The girl has the worst timing...

Everyone else is now very annoyed and a little ticked off, let's see if this mission can be rescued.

That was sooooo corny. I feel like the dude of star-treck!

I don't own the characters. Enjoy!

Teá just smiled "I know you don't like talking about your feelings, Yami. But don't worry I know that you want me, I'll wait"

Yami gagged mentally and shoved her off him "Don't touch me" Yugi appeared at his elbow, rubbing the shoulder that Teá had shoved to get him to move. Yami covered the bruising skin concerned. "Are you okay?"

Yugi nodded and hesitantly took a step closer to Yami, wondering if he'd shove him away like he did Teá, he didn't seem to be in the best of moods. Yami surprised him by putting an arm around his shoulders. Yugi smiled he was very exhilarated, very surprised, but happy.

Teá annoyed the group for the rest of the evening.

At last Seto snapped, and this had been a long time coming, he stood up, his impressive height scaring everyone into shutting up. He looked down at the cowering Teá and said "We're leaving, you're not coming" and he turned to walk out the door.

Joey jumped up and followed, Tristan hesitated, wanting to stay with Miho. Anzu stood on Teá's foot but left without looking at her, Serenity holding her hand and the two talking softly. Yugi and Yami followed, Tristan smiled at Miho and then trailed out last.

Seto breathed out through his nose, pinching the bridge and shutting his eyes tightly. "If I hear her voice one more time this evening, I'll be going to jail"

"Why's dat?" Joey asked, patting Seto on the back to release the tension that had built up listening to her sickly honey toned voice.

Seto scoffed "Because I'll murder her"

Anzu laughed "I'll dump the body"

Yami snickered as well "I'll give you an alibi" they joked about all the ways to kill her and where they should dump her till they got to their cars.

Anzu pulled out he keys and it bleeped as the alarm was disabled. "Anyone got the time?"

Tristan looked at his watch "It's ten to nine"

Serenity blinked "That's not late at all! What should we do?"

Joey nodded "Yeah, da night still young" he fiddled with his dog tag and leaned on Seto's car, he normally had a limo to drive him around but this time he had a red sports car not unlike Anzu's borrowed wheels.

Yugi pulled out a coloured cube and began twisting it to get the sides all the same colours. Yami leaned over and playfully snatched it from him "Cool game" his larger hands covered it as he twisted it and then he revealed a complete cube. "It's not that hard though"

Yugi pouted and then pinched Yami's phone out of his back pocket, like the artful dodger and typed a quick message. My Grampa's shop has a lot harder games than a silly cube. Yami blinked, he looked at the little teen curiously "You live in a game shop?"

Yugi nodded.

Tristan grinned "That's so cool, what sorts do you have?"

Yugi shrugged, to be honest he hadn't looked properly for a while, but it was always full of new and popular games, collectable pieces too.

Serenity poked Anzu's side "Y.X.Y could still be good to go if we take this opportunity" she reminded the brunette. Anzu nodded thoughtfully then lightly pinched the red head to let her know that she agreed. Serenity smiled "I'd loved to see your shop, Yugi. I need to learn how to play better to try and beat my brother" she nodded at the smirking Joey.

"Fat chance a dat, sis" Serenity stuck her tongue out at him.

Yugi smiled and nodded. He wanted to share things with them.

"Yami!" everyone groaned. Seto looked about ready to snap again.

Teá rushed up to them with Miho at her heals, smiling nicely. Teá smiled "Miho wanted to spend some time with Tristan, so do you mind if we joined you?"

Anzu was grinding her teeth, Serenity was worriedly holding her arm. "Miho is welcome. You are not" she spat out.

Teá looked hurt "You'd leave me out here all alone at night?" she asked with big blue eyes that made everyone cringe.

Joey pulled at his bags "Without a second thought" he shot at her. "An' I hope ya get what's coming to ya, ya bitch!"

Teá ignored him and swaggered up to Yami who was glaring and wrinkling his nose. "You wouldn't leave me. Would you? It's so dodgy around here at night" she smiled hopefully.

Yami pinched his nose and muttered "I'd set every hell on you if I could. Teá, get the hint; We Don't Want To Hang Out With You!" he shouted at her.

Teá jumped, her eyes watered and she sniffed "Y-you don't h-have to s-say that j-just be-because of your f-friends" she whispered and reached out to him. "I know you d-don't think that"

Yugi's hand hit his forehead, Just how thick skinned was this girl? Shove her off a cliff she'll bounce right back up! Yami chuckled at Yugi's reaction. "My thought's exactly, little one" he told the amethyst eyed teen. Yugi smiled shyly.

Yami shoved Teá off his chest and she fell onto the floor "Get out of my life" he said and got into the red car that Seto was starting up. Yugi pouted and jumped into Anzu's ride, there not being enough room in the red car with Tristan, Miho, Yami, Joey and Seto in it.

They left Teá's sulking form in the car park…

Anzu was not driving, sitting in the passenger seat, playing with a stress ball and growling a long list of insults under her breath. Yugi put a hand on her shoulder and rubbed comfortingly, he'd hate to have a twin like Teá, the girl was just mean in every way. Anzu put her hand over Yugi's and gave it a light squeeze. "She always ruins everything" she moaned at last. "Darling? Can I stay with you at the mansion? I don't feel like facing her again, or Dad when she's told him what happened with more bullshit lies thrown in"

Serenity reached across and squeezed Anzu's knee warmly. "Sure you can. The boys won't mind at all, it's so big you could live in a room and no one'll find you for years" she indicated and turned, something that Anzu never did.

"Is it the first left or the second?" Serenity asked.

Yugi tapped her shoulder twice. "Thanks, little one" she had picked up on Yami's nick name for Yugi quite quickly, it suited him more than cutie.

Yugi blushed and pouted and Anzu laughed "Keep pulling that face, cutie, you'll only attract a few kisses" she blew him one and then went back to playing with her stress ball. "Maybe I should draw Teá's ugly mug on this face, then whenever I feel like beating her up, I can"

Serenity nodded absently and pulled to a stop in front of Yugi's house. "Is this it?" she asked, leaning out of the window.

Yugi smiled brightly, home… he jumped out and nodded, opening the door for Serenity. The red head giggled and accepted his hand "Why, thank you my little gentleman" she teased lightly and Yugi bowed, playing along.

Anzu smirked and let herself out. "Hands off her Yugi. She's mine" she put her arm around Serenity's waist and kissed her cheek.

Yugi smiled and then looked up as the rest of the group wandered over. "Hey, it looks cool" Tristan said.

Miho blinked at it, dazed "I've been here before" she said, her voice lilling and her accent implacable. Everyone looked at her, surprised, she seemed the type that would rather spend her cash on clothes and makeup. She smiled at them and reached into her purse and pulled out a little Capsule Monster "Isn't she cute?" she held the little flower up for them to see.

Tristan agreed, overly so. Miho smiled again "Everyone else had one, they were sold out everywhere else, I'm not very good at games, but I wanted to try. I got a set right here, this little girl won me my only victory, she's my lucky charm" she kissed the little flower and placed her back into her purse.

Yugi smiled and then pulled out the key and entered the shop. The bell rang cheerfully and everyone slowly piled in. Yugi scuffed his feet, nervously, he wasn't sure if they'd think of him as childish now they were in his home.

Yami flicked a light switch and everyone gasped, except Seto, at the rows of games and knickknacks. Serenity pulled down an old game, it was covered in dust. "I love this game! I've been looking for it for ages" she opened the lid and smiled at the game of Risk.

Anzu looked over her shoulder "A fiver, not bad eh? Huh, needs a minimum of three players. Miho, how about a girls war?"

Miho jumped and looked sheepish "I'm not good at games…"

Serenity smiled "We'll go easy on you, is there a table where we can play Yugi?" Yugi nodded and led them to the living room in the back.

Solomon was there, reading a book. He looked up and gasped "Yugi?" Yugi smiled and rushed over to hug the older man. Solomon looked shocked and pushed Yugi away after a moment "What are you wearing, son?"

Yugi looked sheepish and nodded at Anzu.

Anzu smiled at him "Hello, I'm Anzu, sir. I got him that outfit, we were out at a club this afternoon, I'm sorry if you don't approve" she bowed slightly.

Solomon looked confused "I thought you didn't like Yugi, you were gripping his arms pretty harshly the other day"

Anzu looked shocked "I'd never hurt Yugi!" she said. Yugi pulled on Solomon's arm and showed him a note. The girl that hurt me was Anzu's twin sister, Teá. This twin is very nice, don't worry they're all great.

Solomon nodded at last "Oh, you have a twin?"

Anzu nodded "I wish I didn't… the slut" she muttered.

Solomon chuckled "I'm sorry for confusing you with your evil twin, who else is here, Yugi? I hear lots of voices in the shop"

Yugi pulled the old man to his feet and gestured at the girls. Serenity smiled charmingly "I'm Serenity, Anzu's girlfriend. This is Miho, she's a friend of Teá's but we're calling a truce with her tonight"

Joey came in with a book on rare card in his hands "Oh, hey Grampa, remember me?"

Solomon nodded with a smiled "Joey, wasn't it?"

Joey nodded "Dat's me! I see you've met ma sister" he put an arm around Serenity who smiled. Joey called the rest of the gang in with a grin "Ya remember Yami, da icy eyes is ma boyfriend Seto Kaiba and Tristan's the spike head" everyone waved and offered hellos to the old man.

Solomon looked at Yugi in surprise "I never know you were so popular, Yugi" Yugi laughed. Solomon jumped, he hadn't heard his Grandson laugh in so long! "Yugi! You laughed!" he said delightedly.

Anzu jumped up behind the tri haired teen and put her arms around him. "Yeah! We were so amazed too! He's been giggling almost non stop since yesterday" she tickled the sparkly eyed teen to prove her point. Yugi squealed and fought to get away from her fingers.

Yami rescued him by pulling him out of Anzu's reach "You'll make him cry" he scolded lightly. Anzu stuck her tongue out at him then settled down by the coffee table to play the game Serenity had picked out.

Joey slouched in an armchair and began looking at all the really rare and powerful cards that were in the catalogue he'd pulled down from the shelf.

Seto pulled out his phone and began to work on his company from that computer like phone. Yugi smiled around at everyone having a good time then jumped as his Grandpa spoke to him "Why don't you get that really rare game from china out of the attic, you and Yami look like the sort that would take it on"

Yugi rolled his eyes and then rushed up the stairs and pulled the ladder down from the ceiling to get into the loft. That Dragon game… where'd I put it? Yugi searched for a short moment then found the dusty package.

Yami sat down and listened as Yugi rummaged around upstairs. Solomon got off his seat and sighed "I think I'll get us all a drink, what would everyone like?"

"Tea!"

"Coffee please"

"Fruit Drink please"

"Water"

Everyone called out their drinks and the old mad shuffled off to make them, batting away any help, saying he wasn't old to need help making tea. Yami laughed lightly at the old man's determination.

Yugi bounced back downstairs with a box in his hands, grinning and covered in dust, spider webs in his spiky hair. Yami chuckled as the little one jumped over the sofa and sat down beside him. "Did you battle a spider up there?" Yami asked, trying to get some of the mess out of the little one's spikes.

Yugi joined him with brushing the dust and webs out of the stubborn locks. Yugi let Yami sort him out, blushing slightly as he got fussed over, and set up the board and cards before shifting away from Yami and putting the board on the sofa between them.

Yugi snatched a notepad, they seemed to be in every room, Yami wondered, sadly, how long Yugi had been silent. Yugi handed him the note, it was instructions.

You gather three cards of the same element and level dragon then you can summon it. There are five dragons; Water, Wood, Earth, Metal and Fire. Each has a strength and weakness over another. For example; Water beats Fire, Fire beats Metal, Metal beats Wood, Wood beat Earth, Earth beats fire.

But they can also be used in combo's: Earth is strengthened by Fire, Fire is strengthened by Wood, Wood is strengthened by Water, Water is strengthened by Metal, Metal is strengthened by Earth.

There are five levels and all the cards you gather must be of the same element and the same level.

Yami reread the rules and tips then nodded "I like the sound of this game"

Yugi smiled and shuffled absently, his fast fingers showing he had experience with card games and at fast handling. He placed the cards on the board and then picked up six cards, motioning for Yami to do the same.

Yugi studied his cards with a small frown then picked up one from the deck and put it into his hand, laying another on the board. Yami looked at his and nodded slightly, it was an alright start. He picked up a card and saw that it was useless and put it straight down.

Yugi and Yami continued with sighs and smiles of delight and disappointment. Yugi nodded at last then placed his cards face down on the board, he had a set.

Yami picked up one last card and did the same. Yugi turned his cards up and showed that he had a level three water dragon and a level five wood dragon, Yami had a level four fire dragon and a level five earth dragon.

Yugi pulled out of another box small figures of their chosen dragons and placed them on the board. Yugi lined his up, putting his water dragon behind the wood dragon to strengthen it.

Yami did the same with his and had an ultimate earth dragon with fire backing him up.

Yugi shook his head with a smile and then punched the air. He had won because Wood beat Earth.

Yami shook his head astonished "Good game, again"

The two kept it up all the way through the evening, the score varying but they were quite evenly matched, Seto had watched them play and offered tips to them both without spoiling their game, he wouldn't ever do that, he didn't tell the other that they had a wood dragon or anything.

Anzu watched them when her game had ended, she saw them leaning forwards, engrossed in their match, she had a devious idea. She knew how clumsy Miho was and thought that, for once, it would come in handy. She pulled Serenity to the side and whispered her plan. Serenity almost screamed at the good idea!

"Miho, come here, we'll cheer on team Yami" she said sweetly.

Miho was actually a really nice girl, she was pleasant to talk to, she often zoned out of conversations and often just agreed because she didn't have the effort to argue but she was likable even if her choice of friends wasn't the healthiest. She looked up and smiled, dazedly again, "Okay…" she said breezily.

Anzu jumped to behind Yugi "I'm on team Shorty" Yugi batted her lightly in retaliation then turned back to his game, watching the other as he went for another card. Anzu and Serenity locked gazed and nodded.

Serenity's heal knocked into Miho's left foot, the girl leaning forwards to see over Yami's shoulder to see how the game was played, at the same time Anzu's eyes lit up and she leaned forwards, hand on Yugi's shoulder, pointing excitedly to a card Yami had just placed on the board. Yugi was forced forwards. Yami was shoved by Miho's slight weight and he looked at Yugi the same second Yugi looked at him.

The end result: their lips met.

Everyone froze and stared, the two tri haired teens jumped apart, dropping their cards and blushing madly, staring at the other. Yugi had a hand over his mouth, blushing like he was about to faint.

Anzu bit her lip, Serenity did the same, Miho leaned up, she had seen the 'kiss' too, and was staring too, her jaw unhinged. Tristan was glancing between the two and joined the dots along with Joey and Seto; Anzu and Serenity were playing Matchmaker.

Anzu looked between them again then whispered softly "This is awkward…"

Miho found her jaw again and touched Yami's shoulder, hesitantly, not lingering or grasping as Teá might have. "I'm so sorry, I'm such a clutz" she looked on the edge of tears. Tristan put an arm around her, she shook her head and sniffed lightly, "I always ruin everything…"

Tristan followed her as she turned to walk to the front door, his comforting voice being heard as well as a few of Miho's sniffles. Serenity felt bad for hurting her feelings and decided to make it up to her later, without Teá's stuck up attitude she was an alright girl.

Joey locked eyes with Serenity and jerked his head to the kitchen. Serenity knew the look in his face; he was being the big commanding brother. She grabbed her cup and followed him obediently. Joey waited until everyone had begun chatting again before turning to his red headed little sister. "Nice stunt, sis, ya a Wheeler fa sure"

Serenity jumped "You mean you're not mad?" she asked, startled.

Joey smirked "Na, I knew dat those two firework heads liked each other, just needed a little shove, eh?" literally.

Serenity giggled lightly and put her cup in the sink, not really sure what else to do with it. "Anzu's idea not mine, she's been in charge of the Y.X.Y operation"

Joey raised an eyebrow "Y.X.Y eh? Dat's real original" the two siblings just laughed then went back into the room to just in time to see Yami and Yugi hesitantly smile at each other then pack away their little game.

Anzu winked at the siblings then yawned, she was pretty tired. "Wow, sorry about that, I guess I'm a little sleepy" she stretched and then yawned again.

Serenity skipped over to her side. "You look tired, babe. We should be getting going, we'll see you all soon, maybe tomorrow?" Serenity asked, everyone nodding and agreeing. "Bye… no Anzu, I'm driving"

"You're cruel!" Anzu whined as she was lead out of the shop.

Joey and Seto sighed. Seto frowned slightly "Nice spending time with you, Yugi. But we should go too. Tristan, Miho, I'll drop you off"

The two nodded. Yami sighed and got up, smiling at Yugi who was still holding onto that adorable blush. "See you tomorrow, little one" Yugi's blush doubled. Yami was smirking, pleased with the little one's reaction to him. Yugi nodded and played with his fingers. Yami covered the restless digests with his own and smiled at Yugi's astonished face before following his grumbling cousin out of the door.

Yugi waved goodbye from the door and then closed the shop like he did every night, he went up to his room…

And collapsed.

He stayed on his knees for a while, his hand on his lips. Oh Kami-sama… I kissed Yami! Yugi squeaked at the thought and pulled his pillow down from his bed and squeezed it. Oh God…

Yugi reached up and pulled down the box with his half finished puzzle. I must be going insane… if I'm working on the puzzle at a time like this! I mean, I freaking kissed my crush! Yugi's fingers trembled as he slotted another piece.

Hey… I'm doing better than normal. Yugi blinked and looked at the shape, there was a corner missing, and the front. The boy reached for the next piece and jingled everything around… drifting off to sleep with his thoughts circling; Yami, the puzzle, his parents, and that amazing kiss…

With a soft thump the box slipped from his fingers and landed on the floor, no pieces falling from the box, it landing upright. The gold semi-complete puzzle sitting in Yugi's lap with both hands still in the sleep-frozen motion of solving it…

Yay! I got a kiss outta them!

I'm happy!

Miho is alright, but she is just so used to following Teá around from when she was little that she's kept doing it. She's not spying on Yami or Yugi for Teá, she suddenly wanted to be fussed over so decided that Tristan was the best person at that moment in time.

Reviews! and I promise more fluff!
