The cars that sped passed Joey came to a slow stop as the signal light changed from green to red. He crossed the street and headed for a near by game shop. The blond studied the familiar green and yellow building with a goofy smile. He reached a hand forward and pushed the shop door open, peaking his head through the entrance. An elderly man was in there looking through inventory. When the man noticed the blond teen his expression became warm and inviting. "Joey, it's nice to see you again young man. Come on in." he said, voice gruff with age. The teen then pushed the door open all the way and walked in, nearly stumbling over a box on the floor, "Nice to see you again too Gramps, is Lil' Yugi here?" Solomon nodded, pointing to the stairs leading to Yugi's room. "Thanks Gramps, see ya around alright?" Solomon Muto nodded again lightly smiling, turning back to his inventory work.

Joey walked up the stairs, soon reaching the top where Yugi's room was. The door was a little cracked open. Joey peeped inside and found Yugi talking to himself. Well, arguing. The look on Yugi's face was pretty humorous. It was could described as a cross between a baby who just had their candy stolen and a kid forced to eat broccoli. The little guy just couldn't do anger. Snickering, Joey pushed the door open all the way. Yugi stopped his little rant when he noticed Joey, his face falling into that of pleasantly surprised. "Hey Joey, what brings you here?" the short teen asked smiling. "Nothin' much Yug', I didn't have anything to do this weekend so I thought I would hang out with my little buddy." Joey laughed, playfully ruffing Yugi's hair. "So, what had you all pissed off?" he teased. Yugi looked away, an embarrassed flush rising, "Oh, uhhmm.. You saw that?" Joey crossed his arms and nodded. "Well, Yami was trying to get me to where these girly dangly things... being very insistent." The blond snorted, "So, hasn't he always?" "Well, yea Joey... Its just that.. Well.. Just look at these!"

Yugi reached into his backpack and pulled out a series of shiny gold jewelry. " Look at all this! Gaudy earrings, Gaudy bangles, Gaudy necklaces... The list goes on!" Yugi continued, huffing irritably. Joey started to laugh at his mildly irritated friend. "And and and, He wanted to wear it all! All of it! In public Joey! In front of people! People!"

"Just look at this Joey!.. Its so.." Yugi made a face, picking up large and heavy gold chains that he soon eagerly shoved into the blonds face. "Where does he even get all this.." Yugi pouted. Joey went down on one nee and patted Yugi's shoulder, stifling laughter "Forget about it Yug', come with me to the arcade?" Yugi looked away and scolded at the necklace in his hand before tossed the thing on to his bed. He looked at Joey and smiled replying, "Yea, lets go."

They waved goodbye to Yugi's grandpa on their way out of the game shop. Outside was lovely, its was a sunny day. How better to spend such a day but to play video games? Yugi had a bright smile on his face the hole walk to the arcade.

The arcade was full of sound. Music played in the background along with the random bells and pings of the game machines. The boys were having fun playing around with the arcade games, it had been while since they done something other than Duel Monsters. Though most of the games were Duel Monsters themed.

The two boys were huddled close to one another playing a fighter type game. Yugi was standing on the tips of his toes trying to see the screen, hand griped tightly around a joy stick. Joey slowly leaned closer and closer to the screen with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Both of their brows furrowed due to immense concentration, a bead of sweat dripping down there foreheads. BASH! Joey jumped up hitting his head on the system. He couched down wincing, both hands rubbing his head. Yugi laughed a little, "Joey.." he began. Joey looked up with a bright smile, "Yugi! I finally beat you!" he said. Yugi shook his head smiling oddly at his silly friend.

When the boys finally left the arcade the sky had grown several shads darker. The moon was out and shining, stars bright. The two must have lost track of time. "Ill walk you back to the game shop. Ok Yug'?" Yugi looked up at his friend and nodded. And off they went.

When they got to the shop they found the front door locked, the old man must have went to bed. Yugi took out his key and unlocked the door. "Alright then, see ya around Yugi." Joey said, turning away. Yugi grabbed the blonds wrist to stop him, "Why don't you stay over Joey?" he asked. "You sure?" "Yea, Grandpa and I had needed a way to rid of the left overs in the fridge." Yugi smirked.

And so the boys ate, joked, and laughed together. It was nice. Eventually they found them selves in Yugi's room sitting on the floor... playing a card game.

Joey was dueling surprisingly well against the little King of Games. The score was 1100/700 life points. The blond was sure he was going to win tonight with this last turn. "I use LuminousSoldier to attack your life points directly." Joey played. Yugi reviled his face down card. "I activate the trap card Ultimate Offering, with the loss of 500 life points I summon Kurribo in defense mode." The Luminous Soldier destroyed the Kurribo. Joey sighed and ended his turn. Yugi drew one card, then looked over the ones in his hand, he paced two more cards face down then ended his turn. Joey drew his card, the look on his face told that he drew crap. He placed one card face down and attacked with his Luminous Soldier again. Yugi smiled, " I activate the trap card spell binding circle, stopping your Luminous Soldier." Joey grunted, ending his turn. Yugi drew then placed a spell card on the field, "I activate Pot of Greed and draw two more cards." Drawing two more to his hand Yugi played the card monster reborn, bringing his Valkyrion the Magna Warrior out of the graveyard and onto the field. Shit. Joey was screwed. His Luminous Soldier fell, his life points dropping to 0.

Joey let out a tired breath, falling backward with his hands behind his head. "Looks like you win again." He said closing his eyes. Yugi gave a tired yawn into his hand, " You dueled really well though Joey. You really have improved a lot from the last time we dueled." "Yea, you think so Yug'?" Yugi nodded and crawling over to his friend. They laughed next to each other discussing duel strategies, barley able to keep their eyes open.

Solomon Muto got out of bed to go to the bathroom, stopping in front of his grandsons room. He opened the door, peering inside. There he found the boys sleeping next each other on the bed room floor. Joey had one arm behind his head and another over his stomach snoring, Yugi right beside him in a similar position. Duel Monster cards scattered all over the place. The old man smiled, heart warmed by the scene. They were still only just kids. He silently walked over them to Yugi's bed taking off its blanket. Then he through it over the boys. The elderly man looked back once more before carefully shutting the door behind him.

Mokuba got up to get a glass of water, stopping in front his older brothers office. He silently peered through the slightly open door way. There he found Seto siting all alone in the same position he was in early this morning. The room still holding only the sound of quick typing and soft breathing. Mokuba quietly watched, perhaps a bit sad. The boy backed away after a few minutes and sighed. He knew his brother was going to spend another night working all alone, shut away in that dimly lit office.

AUTHORS NOTE: I do not own Yugioh.

Yes, well then. I haven't updated in forever have I? That's because I was playing Video Games. Writing about Seto Kaiba makes makes me crave "Duelist of the Roses". He is just so handsome in his blue eyes armor. It seduces me into picking his rose. I always feel guilty afterward though. As for the duel in this chapter I will tell you now I know that I fudged up a few rules. But you see, in the Anime they fudge up the rules all the damn time. So fuck off you wankers.

Also, this was intended to be a shity cute friendship chapter. Think of it as filler. Decided it was about time to toss Yugi into the mix. Fear I may have made Yugi a bit Out of character though. Sorry about that. I am shit with his personality. I did try.

Things to know:

~Clarity was shot due to a recent act of insolence.

~Found this chapter really fucking hard write.

~I lost my groove bro'

~Do not worry, Your not the only one that wishes there was some JoeyxKaiba in this chapter. Damn filler.

~Holy shit this shit is really fucking fast paced.
