Amber- AHHH! I'm seriously sorry for the whole long no update period! School started and I've been swarmed.

Danny- Excuses, excuses. Tsk Tsk, Amber.

Amber- But's true! *Cries*

BunBun- *Sigh* Just leave the girl alone and get on with the bloody disclaimer and warnings, I don't want to hear her whining!

Amber- *Sniffs* Bun...Bun... WAH! You're being sort of nice!

Danny- *Rolls eyes* Amber does not own Yu-Gi-Oh and there is yaoi in this story.

-Start chapter 6-

"Oh boys!" the door of the trailer swung open and Mai bounced in, giggling insanely. She walked up to Ryou and wrapped her arms around the boy, smirking. "Hello Ry!" she greeted sweetly.

Ryou raised a suspicious eyebrow as he stared at her for a moment and pulled away, shaking his head. "What are you up to Mai? Or better yet, what do you want?" He folded his arms across his chest.

Mai pouted, "What makes you think I want something?"Ryou gave her a hardened stare and Mai threw her hands up, laughing. "Okay, okay! I do want something," she admitted. "I need you, as in Ryou, to be my date for the premier of my new movie," she clasped her hands together and looked at him wide eyes, "Please?"

Ryou rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, "I dunno..." he trailed. He didn't know how many people at his school were able to get tickets and Bakura said he would keep his secret, but if people at school showed up...

It would all be for nothing.

Mai let out a slight whimper and shuffled closer to him. "Please? It would mean so much to me!" she stuck her bottom lip out and let it wobble. "That creepy stalker is going to be there and it would be weird if I didn't show up with my boyfriend!"

A sigh escaped Ryou and he nodded absentmindedly, Mai always knew how to persuade him into doing things like this. Once she managed to convince him to let her do his hair up and forced him into a dress. Though, it made him feel a little better that she did the same thing to Yugi.

"Yay!" Mai cheered, straightened up and winking at Yugi, "Which reminds me," she dug into her purse and pulled out two tickets, handing them to the small boy. "Bring someone nice! You can go as either Yugi or Yuki, either way I just want you there too!"

Yugi took the tickets from her, a weary smile playing on his lips. He wondered what he would do with the extra ticket, if Ryou was going with Mai he couldn't give it to him. Malik was bound to be going since Ishizu was his sister and Mai's manager.

A name crossed his mind and his face heated up at the thought of being able to bring that person. Would he even accept? It was a big movie that a lot of people wanted to see and to have tickets for it... But that didn't mean he would accept.

Yugi's pose faltered slightly as rude thoughts to himself flew through his head. Ryou, seeing this, placed a hand on his shoulder, giving him a reassuring smile.

"Cheer up, Yugi!" Mai ruffled the boy's hair, "Why don't you bring that one boy that I had to hide from?" she smirked, getting a little too close for comfort, waggling her eyebrows at him.

Yugi took a step back and shook his head frantically, "Mai!" he scolded lightly, blushing. "I dunno if Yami would want to go with me," he shrugged.

Ryou and Mai glanced at each other, rolling their eyes. "Yugi, you and Yami have become friends, unless he already has plans, there's no reason he would say no."

"Still..."

"Yugi!"

Oooo

An arm wrapped around Yugi's neck, causing the boy to let out a yelp and his books tumble to floor. He struggled for a moment before calming down when he realized just who had him in a headlock.

"Sorry, Yugi," Jounouchi let the boy go, "I didn't mean to scare you," he bent down to help pick the books up, handing them to Yugi.

Yugi let out a sheepish chuckle. "It's okay... it just surprised me," he admitted. "I'm not really used to anyone but Ryou, teachers, and the occasional bully coming up to me in the hallways," he explained as the two walked side by side.

Jounouchi cringed lightly, "Yea, that used to me," he muttered to himself, sighed and gained a determined look across his face. "And Ima do whatever it takes to make it up to you!"

Yugi gave him a shocked look and shook his head, "You don't have to do anything! What you did the other day was enough," he smiled up at Jounouchi. "I'm just glad to call you a friend!"

Jounouchi gained a teary eyed look and pulled Yugi into a one armed hug, "Gah! You're too nice for your own good!" he sobbed out, causing Yugi to laugh a little.

"You know, I think I might just have to agree with that statement," Jounouchi once again let go of Yugi and both boy turned their gaze in front of them and there stood Yami, smirking at them with crossed arms.

"Yami!" Yugi chirped, his hand itching to grab the tickets and ask him right there and then.

"Little one," Yami greeted him back.

Yugi puffed his cheeks out at the nickname and he let out a little whine. "You're not that much taller than me, you know!"

"But I still am, and standing next to Jounouchi-san, you look even smaller," Yami replied cheerfully, taking a few more steps closer to the two.

"Um.. Yugi?" a new voice cut it and Yugi turned, watching a cringing Ryou walk over to them. "You know everyone's staring, right?" he wondered, twisting his hands together nervously.

Yugi blinked in surprise and then looked around the hallway, and indeed, people were staring at them. He flushed a bright red and ducked his head down. A silent wish to become invisible and their attention be diverted away from the small group that had formed.

He was used to getting attention like this as Yuki, when he walked through the studio and tourists stared at him, he was used to it. As Yugi, though, he just couldn't bring himself to not care and go about his business like normal.

One look at Ryou's face said he was feeling the same thing.

Yugi shifted awkwardly and stared down as his feet. "Maybe we should just get to class?" he suggested and began shuffling out of the hallway, Yami close behind him.

"See ya at lunch Yugi!" Jounouchi called and led Ryou away.

Once they reached the safety of the class, Yugi fell back into his seat and shot a smile at Yami. "I'm not used to getting attention like that," he explained, and he wasn't, not as Yugi.

"It's fine," Yami took a seat next to him and rested his chin on the palm of his hand before shooting up in remembrance. "I have something for you!"

Yugi blinked in surprise and leaned back in his chair, "Huh?" before he knew what was happening a ticket was in his face, a very familiar looking ticket.

"You used to me friends with Mai Valentine, right? Before, when she was Mai Kujaku?" Yugi nearly fell over, he knew?

"U-Um..." Yugi shifted his seat and nodded awkwardly, "H-How did-"

Yami cut him off and placed the ticket in his hand. "Well, I don't know if you already got tickets since she's your friend and all, but I wanted to invite you to go to her movie premier with me..." Yami suddenly looked nervous, a blush crossed his face. "Ah, would you want to?" he asked hopefully.

Yugi smiled brightly and butterflies filled his stomach. A giddiness coursed through him, "I would love to!" he answered happily, wanting to cry. It would be the first time he had ever been invited somewhere by someone other than Ryou and Mai! And it was by Yami at that!

"Really?" Yami looked cheerful again. "I'll pick you up an hour before, then!"

And then the Kishi-sensei came in, but neither boy could stop the grin that had made a home on their lips.

Oooo

Yugi hummed to himself as he entered the studio, he had been walking on cloud nine all day. He hadn't even cared through Ryou's giggling and Mai's teasing. Though, he hadn't told either of them why he was so giddy, they both had been able to guess it had something to do with Yami.

He now also had to find someone to give the tickets to, but he wasn't super worried about that. He could give them to Jounouchi, and then he wouldn't have to worry about where he had gotten the tickets in the first place.

"Yuki Nanami," a cold voice cut through Yugi's thoughts and he spun around to see a young boy with green hair and cold blue eyes. "Or should I say Yugi Mutou?"

That made Yugi freeze.

A smirk crossed the pale face, "Ah yes, I know your little secret. Yours and Ruki- Ryou's," he chuckled and took a few steps closer to him, holding his hand out. "My name is Noa Kaiba, a pleasure," a small frowned tugged at his lips as he said his last name.

Yugi just stared.

"Right," Noa frowned and retracted his hand. "Look, I have a proposition for you, I want a favor," he caught Yugi's gaze, his eyes hardened.

Yugi gulped, he knew where this was going, he was going be blackmailed.

It was obvious.

"What do you want?"

The smirk returned and he placed his hands inside his pockets with a shrug, "For now, just make sure you invite your blonde friend, the dog, to Mai Valentine's movie premier, understood?" he turned on his feel and began walking away. "I'll explain the rest there."

Yugi felt his stomach drop, the dog...

If Noa Kaiba was related to Seto Kaiba, then there was only one person that he could be have been talking about.

Jounouchi-kun.

Oooo

Ryou clutched the ticket in his hand. He had bought two extra tickets to Mai's movie. They, obviously, weren't for himself. He wanted Aimi and Bakura to go.

He could only hope that Aimi was well enough to be able to go, but if she wasn't, well, he had a back-up plan.

Ryou took a deep breath as he came in front of the white door and raised a pale hand to knock on it. He was dressed as Ruki again, because that was how he had met Aimi. It would have been weird of Ryou had shown up and presented the siblings with the tickets.

The door was ripped open and a shout was heard in the back ground. Bakura appeared in Ryou's line of view and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"What are you doing here?" Came the harsh question.

"Bakura!" Aimi shouted from behind him. "Be nice to Ruki-san!"

Bakura scoffed and moved aside, allowing the boy into the room. Ryou quickly shuffled in and toward the hospital bed where Aimi was. The girl seemed a lot healthier than she had been the last time he had seen her. This time she had color to her cheeks and was smiling cheerfully.

"You came back!" she shouted.

Ryou nodded and took the chair beside the bed. "I have something for you," he whispered. "And, if you're anything like Ryou described your bother to be, you might think this is charity," he took a deep breath when he saw the confusion flitting across green eyes, "but I hope you're well enough to attend in my place, because I can't make it," he pulled out the tickets and took her hand, placing them in her palm.

"W-What?" she choked out, "What are these for?"

"Do you know Mai Valentine?" Ryou asked her and when she nodded, he smiled, "we're pretty good friends, best friends, really, and she gave me those tickets, but I won't be able to attend, would you and your brother take my place?"

Aimi's eyes lit up and she nodded ecstatically, then paused and looked over at Bakura, who hadn't left the spot by the door. "Can we, 'Kura?" her voice dropped down to a whisper.

Bakura looked away, a sneer across his face. "Whatever, why can't you go?" he interrogated the boy in the chair.

Ryou shrugged. "Something came up, and Mai is going with her boyfriend, so I had rather not intrude," he gazed up at Bakura, biting his lip, wondering what in the world had possessed him to say that. Why did Bakura need to know that Ryou was going with Mai? He could have just found out when he got there.

Bakura's eyes narrowed at that and he began walking out of the room. "I can't stand to stay in here any longer, I'm going for a walk. Tell one of the nurses to come find me when he leaves," he jerked his thumb at Ryou and then left the room.

Aimi took a glance at Ryou and gave him a sheepish smile, "Sorry about him, her boyfriend is Ryou Bakura, right?"

Ryou nodded slowly, wondering where she was going with that.

"Well, for the last few weeks he's been talking about nothing but the weak kid that can't defend himself and has big doe eyes," she giggled a bit into her palm, a mischievous look flashed across her face, but went unnoticed by Ryou.

Ryou felt his heart skip a beat, and he looked down at his laps. Did that mean he had been talking about him? Why was he getting so worked up about it? He had called him a weakling! It was probably nothing but insults!

Still...

A smile fitted Ryou's lips.

Oooo

Yugi sighed and turned on his bed again. He felt so worried about what was to come, he couldn't sleep. He had been happy and all that was crushed.

He frowned and tugged his pillow to his face, screwing his eyes shut and he let out a little whimper. He wasn't about to be one of those people who felt miserable because something falls apart. That thinks their life isn't worth living because of one little problem.

He refused.

And he still had spending the evening with Yami to look forward to.

The thought brought a smile to his face and he replaced his pillow and leaned back against it. That was something that made him happy. Yami was so kind and it made him stomach fill with butterflies. He truly hadn't expected for the popular boy to be so kind.

He should have known better than to judge a book by it's cover, actually, he of all people should have known that, because that's all he was.

A cover.
