Sorry this chapter is so short, I kinda just forced it out of me. The next one will be longer though!
Enjoy and review!
"Yugi? Wake up!"
The boy roused slowly from his sleep. Once his eyes were open he saw Atem sitting next to him. "W-What?" he asked. His voice disoriented from just waking.
"Some of us are going swimming! Do you want to come?" he asked curiously.
Yugi slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He no longer felt dizzy or sore which was nice, he didn't realize how badly he had needed that nap. Yugi then smiled lightly at his counterpart. "Sure."
"Then come on! Joey is really impatient and I'm dying to see Seth with his shirt off!" Atem stated hurriedly. Smirking to himself over the last part.
Yugi rolled his eyes. He then went to his bag and grabbed a pair of shorts that would suffice as swim shorts since he hadn't really brought any. "Let me change into them at least!" Yugi stated. Not trying to sound too rude by shooing Atem away.
"Sorry. I'll wait for you outside." Atem replied before leaving the tent.
Since Atem was clearly as impatient as Joey, he hurried and changed onto the shorts. When finished, while he was packing away the pants he'd been wearing he glanced out of the netted window and saw the sun setting. He couldn't believe he'd really slept all day, though it wasn't that hard to believe because of his fall. Yugi then blushed, thinking about Kaiba carrying him. He couldn't believe he had actually done that, and he had actually seemed to care about him. Maybe deep down Kaiba did care about him and like him like Atem had said.
Yugi still didn't think he did, with Kaiba it was just so hard, he could barely ever even tell what he was feeling. Deep down could it be possible that he actually had feelings for him? Yugi really wished so. He also sometimes wished he could be more like Atem, he couldn't believe how confident he was around Seth. Yugi wished he was able to go up to Kaiba and just take his hand like Atem had with Seth, he didn't know how Atem could do it. He acted like he didn't fear rejection.
Not wanting to keep Atem any longer, Yugi quickly exited the tent and when outside was thrown a towel. His wrist was then grabbed and he found Atem running towards a small trail. He noticed while being tugged along that Bakura and Ryou were still sitting before the fire.
"Who isn't swimming?" Yugi called to Atem.
"Ryou, Bakura, Mokuba, and Kaiba." Atem stated. "Sorry Aibou, I guess you'll have to wait a little longer to see Kaiba with his shirt off." he said just to tease him.
Yugi blushed red and looked down at the ground he was running over. Atem really seemed to enjoy doing that.

"Damn it! This water is freezing!" Marik growled.
Joey rolled his eyes at him. "You barely even put your toe in it, and it isn't that bad once you get use to it!"
Yugi watched for a moment as Marik and Joey fought about the temperature of the water. Eventually Joey winning causing Marik to plowing into the water to dunk Joey's head underwater. Yugi thought that the water was perfect, it was actually pretty hot outside despite the chilly nights and it being near sunset.
The trail they had taken had led them to a small lake, the water was so blue that Yugi had almost rather just gaze at it then swim in it. There was a little island in the middle of the lake with a few trees, Joey had raced Tristan back and forth from it to shore to see who could go the longest before they both got too tired to continue. They had tied but Joey said he'd done more laps then Tristan which lead to a fight.
Yugi was now next to Atem in the water. He gazed to Atem who was staring at Seth, who sat at shore. Just seeming to watch the water.
"I can't believe how hot he is…" Atem mumbled under his breath. He then turned to Yugi. "Do I look ok?"
Yugi nodded.
He smiled. "Thanks!" Atem then turned and swam towards Seth. When he was out of the water he sat down next to him and began talking with him.
Yugi watched for a moment before gazing down at the water. How was Atem able to do that? Didn't he ever feel embarrassed about talking to Seth? How was he able to just go up to him and start a conversation? How come Yugi wasn't able to do that with Kaiba? There could be a possibility that Kaiba was much harder to speak with then Seth. Yugi had noticed that Kaiba and Seth may look alike, their personalities were pretty different. Seth was much kinder and more thoughtful and Kaiba was a little colder and more reserved. Yugi still couldn't believe that Seth had let Atem just take his hand like that even though they weren't dating.
Yugi went back to watching Atem and Seth talk. He noticed now that Atem was leaning himself onto Seth's shoulder and his hand had claimed Seth's again. They looked like they were dating, anyone would guess that, but how could they not be? Could Seth really not tell that Atem was almost obsessed with him? He actually didn't seem to even care that Atem was making such strong advances with him, no wonder Atem was getting frustrated with him.
How could he be so comfortable doing that? Yugi couldn't even imagine doing those things with Kaiba, well eventually, but not now. Yugi really wished he was as brave as his counterpart, he could barely even speak to Kaiba, getting him to like him in less than three days now seemed completely impossible. He never even really got the opportunity to talk with Kaiba, he was always isolating himself from everyone, and when Yugi did talk to him, he really rather be alone. Yugi would have to find a way to get the CEO alone and in not a horrible mood like he seemed to always be in.
"Hey Yuge." Joey said as he came closer to the boy.
Yugi turned and smiled at him. "Hey."
"So how was spending the night in a tent with cranky pants? Does he snore?" Joey asked. Seeming quite amused.
Yugi couldn't stop a slight blush from falling over his cheeks. "No, err… I don't think so…"
Joey then frowned slightly. "Well if you ever figure out if he does make sure to record it! I need some new black mail."
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Of course."
Joey laughed slightly before looking over to Atem. "Are they finally dating yet?"
Yugi shook his head.
"Seriously? I would have thought the first night they would have." Joey remarked.
Yugi actually had to agree with Joey. He wondered why Seth hadn't noticed Atem's obvious advances.

After spending another hour or so swimming, They had all gone back to camp and had dinner. Atem had mysteriously claimed that his leg had became sore and had Seth help him back to the tent. After they had gone, everyone else soon followed until the only ones left were Joey, Tristan, and Duke. They were trying to freak each other out by telling ghost stories. Since Yugi would like to get to sleep that night he had gone when they had started.
Yugi changed into his pj's and was comfortably getting underneath the blankets. This time he didn't plan on getting up because he was cold, he made sure to wrap himself up so that no chilly air could penetrate him. This time he almost had to force himself to sleep since he had been so nervous about what may happen, he just hoped it didn't happen again.
