Yuma fell to the ground as his life points dropped to zero. He rubbed the back of his head before looking up and found a hand extended to him.

"I don't have all day," Shark said. "Get up already."

Yuma chuckled and grabbed Shark's hand. "Thanks. The duel was really fun! We should do it more often!"

Shark rolled his eyes. "Yuma, we duel all of the time. How much more do you honestly want to duel?"

A wide grin spread across Yuma's face. "I think we both know there's no limit to the amount of duels I want to be a part of!"

Shark gave a small smile. "We know that only too well. Come on, we're going to be late for the movie."

Yuma felt a light squeeze on his hand. He looked down to see…

"Yuma! Won't you wake up already?"

*.*.*.

Kotori scowled at her friend. Yuma was always asleep during class and Kotori would wake him up every time he dozed off. However, it seemed that Yuma didn't want to wake up this time. Kotori sighed and went to her last resort.

"Aiiiyaahh!" Yuma shouted. "Kotori, what was that for?"

The teacher glared over at Yuma. The boy chuckled nervously as the teacher resumed his lesson. The teacher knew well enough that sending Yuma to the office would only allow the boy more time to sleep. He did this way too often.

"Would you mind explaining why you hit me with that book?" Yuma asked in a loud whisper.

"You wouldn't wake up. I had to do something," Kotori told her friend.

"Why? The dream was getting to the good part!" Yuma complained.

"Good part? What were you dreaming about? Even those dreams when you become Duel Champion I can wake you up from." A mischievous grin slid onto Kotori's face. "Unless, you were thinking about someone."

Yuma gulped loudly. "Now why would I be thinking of anyone?" he said nervously. "It's not like there's anyone special to think about, especially during class where I should be learning all of this amazing, interesting knowledge!"

Kotori rolled her eyes. "Yuma, we both know that's a lie. Something tells me you have a girl on your mind."

"You're wrong," Yuma told Kotori. As they say, honesty is the best policy.

However, Kotori wasn't convinced. Yuma was diffidently crushing on someone. She and Yuma were like family. If there's one thing Kotori knew about her relationship with Yuma was that he could never hide something from her. That boy always told her everything, no matter how embarrassing. He even told her about that one disturbing dream that involved the riding crop. Kotori shivered at the thought.

"Come on Yuma, spill it," Kotori pressed. "Is it Cathy? Have you seen Shark's sister? Is she cute? Is she the one you're daydreaming about?"

"Wrong one," Yuma muttered.

Kotori's eyes widened. "No way!" she whispered loudly. The girl brought her voice down as she spoke her next words. "I can't believe you're gay! And with Shark of all people."

"Don't say that here!" Yuma complained. "We aren't even together or anything. We're just friends. And why do you think I'm gay?"

"Well, you just told me not to say anything here where people can hear us. Also, if you weren't gay the first thing out of your mouth would've been, 'Kotori, I'm not gay!' You are really bad at trying to cover up something," Kotori said.

"Fine, you win… again." Yuma said dejectedly. "So, what do you want this time?"

"There are these really cute boots over at the mall that I want. I'll show you over the weekend," Kotori told Yuma. When they were children, Yuma agreed that he would buy Kotori one thing that she wanted ever time she was right. However, ever time Yuma was right he would only get dinner at Kotori's house. At the time, it was seemed like a good deal.

Kotori giggled. Yuma raised an eyebrow. "What's so funny?"

Kotori grinned. "Let's just say that our costumes are in today."

Yuma's eyes grew to the size of plates. "Oh hello no."

*.*.*.

"Oh hell yeah!" Yuma shouted. "The costumes aren't here! No skirt for me!"

"Calm down Yuma," Shark complained. "People in America can hear you."

"Heh, sorry Shark," Yuma said.

"It's fine. I have to admit that I'm glad the costumes aren't here. I think our director is just trying to force us all to cosplay."

Yuma laughed. Honestly, it would be awesome if everyone in the school cosplayed one day. Everyone would look so neat. Yuma couldn't help wonder what Shark would look like. Would it be something tight that showed off the older boy's muscles? Or maybe he's wear one of those outfits that just made you look sexy. Those were always great outfits. Perhaps…

"We got a package!" Takashi shouted. Yuma snapped out of his fantasies and walked over to see the contents of the package.

"Who sent it?" Kotori asked.

"I don't know. There's no name or even a return address. It just says, 'To the Heartland Middle School Drama Department.'" Takashi answered. "Well, let's see what's in it!"

The people who gathered around the leaned in closer as Takashi open the package.

"NOOOOOO!" Yuma shouted.

The contents of the package were the costumes needed for the play.

"Hey look, there's a card," Kotori said. She picked up the card and began to read. "'I managed to find out that your package was misplaced. I've taken the liberty to order you new costumes and donate them to your play.' Hmm, it's not signed."

Everyone looked around at each other to see if anyone had the slightest idea of who sent the package. While all of the ruckus buzzed through the room, Shark's D-Gazer vibrated.

The duelist took out the device to see he had a text.

I hope you guys like the costumes =)

Shark moaned. Having a famous friend really sucked sometimes. He sent back a reply to his friend.

I hate you

As Shark sent the text he heard a loud commotion come from backstage. It sounded like Yuma was part of it. Something told Shark that he was going to see the younger boy in a skirt soon. Now that would be funny.

"No Kotori! You can't make me get into that!"

"Yuma, put on the skirt or I'll tell everyone about that dream with the riding crop and-"

"No! Look, I'm putting on the skirt! See, it's all good!"

Yuma emerged from backstage with his entire costume on. Shark nearly fell over when he saw Yuma. He looked beautiful. In fact, you could mistake Yuma for a girl if you didn't realize there was a boy under that wig. Shark could feel his face turn red as he stared at Yuma.

Shark quickly turned around and pulled out his D-Gazer.

On second thought, I love you. You're the best.

Less than a minute later, his D-Gazer went off.

I know. But I don't think it's me you're in love with ;)

Go get him Ryoga!

Shark smirked. How his famous friend deduced that with only one text he'd never know. Shark's smirk turned into a glare as he recalled what his friend had said.

What do you mean by him?

*Vibrate*

No straight guy can talk about another guy for as long as you talked about that Yuma kid. Tell me the whole story when the play is over! I want to write some yaoi based off of it!

Shark growled and sent another text.

You don't even like yaoi.

*Vibrate*

But your sister does =)
