I haven't gotten it in the past twenty-four hours, so I still don't own Yugioh.


To the majority of Domino High School, Joey and Yugi were best friends.

They ate together, they walked to classes together, and they talked to each other before, after, and sometimes during class. They hung out during, after, and before school. Yes, they were great friends...

...To the public eye.

Because everyone thought Yugi was the greatest duelist alive. And because of that, he wasn't supposed to be gay.

One morning, they were sitting on the roof of the school. Joey had slept over at Yugi's house and the two of them hadn't gone to sleep at all, opting instead to get to school early and watch the sunrise. Yugi was curled up against Joey's side, trying to get in a few minutes of sleep before the sun came up.

"Hey, Yug'?" Joey asked.

Yugi groaned. "Wha' 's it, Joey?" He slurred his words in his half-awake state.

"Ya think we'll ever be able to be like this in public?"

Yugi slowly sat up and stretched. "I don't know. Maybe one day, everyone will see it's okay." He laid his head on his boyfriend's shoulder. "But...our friends are okay with it and that's good, right?"

Joey sighed. "Sure, the crazies and the Kaibas are, but Tristan and Tea don't even know."

"Don't call Ryou crazy...'Kay? And they would be okay wit' it...Well," he laughed softly, "Maybe Tea wouldn't...but Tristan would. He's your best friend, Joey."

"He thinks you are, Yugi."

Yugi yawned and said, "I'm your boyfriend...I can't do both. Tristan's yours...and mine's Ryou, I guess." He kissed Joey on the cheek. "Anyway, I like this arrangement better."

Joey looked at his boyfriend, who was illuminated by the now-rising sun. "I do too, Yug'."

When the sun fully entered the sky, the two boys stood and started heading back into the building.

And, once again, started their act of just being friends.
