Liz: *playing with a yo-yo* … why do I even have this?! *throws it away*

Jess: *slam door open* Hey everybody!

Liz: About time!

Jess: Yeah, yeah, I took too much time… again! Well the reason for that is that I am working on something out of FanFiction! So yeah, I put a lot of time on it and stuff…

Yami: You have a life out of FF?

Jess: *roll eyes* I know, can you believe it?! Anyways, here, chapter 15, Bakura! Do the disclaimer!

Bakura: Why me?!

Jess: Because I say so!

Bakura: Whatever… Jess doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jess: Let's get started!


The rest of the week went unexpectedly fast for our gamer with tri-colored hair. School was as boring as usual, he completely ignored any sort of homework on evenings so he could play video games…

BEEP And of course, he talked to Yami almost 24/7. The noise of Yami's message awoke Yugi that Friday morning and he opened his amethyst eyes. He yawned and stretched his arms before reaching for his phone to read the message.

'Yugi are you awake?'

Yugi's lips formed a small smile. Yami wasn't lying when he said he would become his personal alarm clock. Every day at the same hour Yami texted him to make sure he was awake. Yugi couldn't decide if Yami was being dumb or cute.

'Wait… I think that he is cute? No… it's dumb! He is…' BEEP Yugi's head snapped back to the phone

'Come on Yugi, I don't want you to be late for school, wake up!'

Yugi couldn't help it and smiled widely and sighted 'Definitely cute.' He thought and ignored any protest his mind gave him. 'I said definitely cute so shut up brain!' He pushed this thoughts aside and texted back.

'I'm awake Yami, you don't need to do this you know?' Yugi then stood up from his bed as he waited for Yami to reply. He walked to the closet and pulled out his uniform.

BEEP

'Oh but I do little one, if I don't how else would I make sure the king is not late for school?'

Yugi shook his head though the smile never left his face.

'That's very nice from you, but I don't want you to wake up early just to make sure I am awake' Yugi changed to his uniform and walked downstairs to get some breakfast. 'Oh crap, I forgot ji-chan is not here… once again cereal it is.' After preparing his incredibly complicated breakfast he sat down and started eating. 'This is why 'Chef' is not in my list of possible careers…'

BEEP

'And who says I wake up early just for that? Maybe I have stuff to do in the morning too! You know… rock stars' stuff!'

Yugi laughed at Yami's lame protest. 'Of course, rock stars' stuff, whatever you say…' after sending the message he finished his breakfast, threw his bag over his shoulder and walked outside to head out for school.

BEEP

'Don't forget your lunch money'

Yugi rolled his eyes. 'Does he really think that I am going to forget…' he narrowed his eyes then used his hands to feel his pockets. Nothing. 'Crap' he ran inside and to his room for his wallet. 'I hate it when he is right…'

BEEP

'So you got your money? Or do I need to go and give you some cash?'

'If you have so much money why don't you come every day on your limo and give me a ride to school then?' Yugi thought for a second and could almost feel Yami smiling widely 'That one was just a joke'

BEEP

'Of course that was a joke; if it was for real I would go with the Ferrari, not the limo'

'Show off, okay you've done your job, go back to your rock star stuff while I go to my daily prison.' With that Yugi started walking to school… really slowly. Having a human alarm clock had its benefits after all. Since he was up and not sleeping in, he didn't have to rush to school; he could walk as slow as he wanted, you know, making the trip to hell a little longer. He could drag his feet on the floor and still be on time to school.

BEEP

'Already tired of me? Fine, I shall leave you alone… and pick up that pace, at that speed a turtle seems a racing car beside you. Bye!'

'How can he know all these things?!' And that wasn't the only thing Yami could guess. Whenever they talked on the phone, they often seemed to know what the other is going to say before they actually say it. Yami could nod or shake his head and Yugi would know it. It wasn't that he could hear him nodding, he kind of felt it. It was like they could read each other's minds, as if they had a connection or a link.

'Mind link? That sounds silly… I need to stop watching so much T.V…. oh look! I am already in jail!' Yugi thought as he reached his school. He walked to his classroom and spotted his friends talking to each other. They were completely alone since it was too early. 'Thanks Yami, I could've been a turtle but nooo!' He cleared his throat. "The king has arrived. Present yourself peasants!" He said with a tone of authority in his voice.

Joey and Ryou turned their heads to him "The king!" they dramatically threw themselves down kneeling and looking to the floor. Ryou raised a closed hand. "Please accept this gift as a sign of our loyalty to you, majesty." He opened his hand revealing an eraser. Yugi picked it up and looked at it closely. He then nodded "This pleases me, you shall be spared."

They were silent for a few seconds before bursting in laughter and the teens on the floor stood up. That, my children, is a perfect way to start a Friday morning. When they managed to control themselves Yugi spoke "Any signs of the witch?" Ryou and Joey shook their heads. "Perfect." Since the incident of 'Almost getting inside her house' there were no signs of Anzu, which made school somewhat bearable.

"Where do you think she is?" Yugi asked

"She's probably hiding, ya know, since she used that fake cast"

Ryou nodded "She probably disappeared because she thinks someone will miss her" he then turned to Yugi who snorted. "Sad… I am only sad because she didn't left before"

"Ya think she is gone for good?" Joey asked hopefully

Ryou shrugged "There can be miracles."

"I don't believe in miracles" An adult voice made them all turn around.

"Good morning Mr. Pegasus" The trio said.

"Good morning losers. Take your seats now"

"But classes start in twenty minutes… we're the only ones here"

"Thank you for stating the obvious Mr. Wheeler. Now sit down or I'll give you all detention."

"Detention for being early?"

"Detention for being annoying Mr. Motou… Ouuhhhh It's time for my comic!" With that the older man sat on his desk pulling out a comic book. "Oh my cartoons, you are the only ones who can truly understand me…" He looked up at the teens staring at him "What are you filthy rats looking at?! Sit down! NOT ON THE FLOOR WHEELER!"

The rest of the day was just a typical school day for Yugi. Fighting not to sleep in classes, getting a few crams after writing all the useless stuff in the board, pretending to hear the lectures no one will remember, Joey almost making the classroom explode after a science experiment… typical. The end of the day was near and Yugi stared at the clock.

'Come on… one more minute… move…' Nothing happened. 'move…' Same result. 'GO ON ALREADY!'

RING!

Yugi covered his ears from the cheers around him. Everybody just ran to the door with the perfect attitude of 'screw everything, is Friday!' Before he could even realize it, he was already left alone in the classroom. He started packing his stuff.

'How can the rest pack everything so fast? Maybe I am too slow?' Yugi took a glance to the window and spotted Anzu looking at him closely. 'Oh look, the witch is staring at me' He looked back to his bag then froze for a millisecond before snapping his head back up. There was nothing. 'huh… weird… I thought I saw…'

"Are you planning on staying there like an idiot all the weekend Mr. Motou?"

Yugi turned to his teacher "Huh? Oh! Right!" He grabbed his bag and stormed out of the classroom and kept running until he was out of the building. He took a deep breath and sighted happily. 'The smell of freedom in a Friday… Friday… Friday… why do I feel like I forgot something?'

BEEP

'Hey Yugi, you are coming over remember? I'll pick you up in half an hour okay? Perfect! See ya!'

'Oh yeah that… I got to run!' He turned to rush to his house but bumped into someone. "Ow! Sorry I wasn't looking…" he ran around the person without looking who it was.

"It's okay little Atem" The figure responded after Yugi left.


Yugi paced on his room checking the clock every time he felt an eternity has passed. It had only been five seconds.

'Relax Yugi, it's no big deal, just going to his house… what could go wrong?' Of course his mind took that as a challenge. 'What if I do something stupid? What if the other band members start being jerks… what if I break his super expensive vase he got in Alaska?!' he blinked and shook his head 'Silly me… he doesn't have a super expensive vase from Alaska… or does he?! What if he does and I break it?!'

He let out a scream when his phone ringed. He looked at it before sighting and answering. "What do you want Ryou?"

"Yugi you really need to stop screaming like a girl whenever you get scared."

"I… how did you..? I mean, I don't scream like a girl!"

"Whatever, you want to come to the Arcade later? I asked Joey but he went to see his sister…"

Yugi gasped and placed a hand on his chest "You called Joey before me? Does this mean I am your second option? And I thought we had something special…"

"No baby, you know I love you, are you coming or not?"

Yugi laughed "Sorry, I can't today"

"Oh what? Another date with Yami?" Ryou meant that as a joke but after he received no answer "You are going out with him again?"

"It's not a date! I am just going to his mansion…"

Ryou sighted "Really Yugi? You meet the guy online and now you go to his house?"

"What's the problem? We are just going to play video games…"

"Yugi… he is a rock star! You think he has time to sit and play video games? Okay maybe he has time… now! What about when he gets on a tour? Huh? How much do you think you are going to see him? And you want to deal with the paparazzi or the fangirls? I don't think so!"

Yugi wanted to protest bus his face saddened when he couldn't find what to say. "But… he is my friend…"

"Yeah, your friend, for how long? Until he has to move again? Rock stars have to move constantly for tours and to avoid the paparazzi, and when that happens, what next? When Atem leaves what are you going to do?"

Yugi had to admit, Ryou was right. Rock stars have a busy life. Atem was a rock star. Atem had a busy life. Atem had the paparazzi and fangirls after him. Atem would never find time in his agenda for him… but Yugi didn't want Atem. He didn't want the person everyone sees in a stage with a microphone and a smirk. He wanted the person that would always have time for him. He wanted the one that no one could see like he did. He wanted Yami.

"Ryou… I don't know what will happen, I don't know if all this… meeting Yami, hanging out with him… is a good idea… maybe it's not, but what I do know is that Yami is my friend and that's all I care about."

"So this is serious huh?" Ryou asked and Yugi nodded "Yugi you still there?"

"Uh… Yeah, yes, this is serious" Yugi made a mental note that nodding on the phone only works with Yami.

"I see there is no way to change your mind… oh well!" The door of Yugi's room slammed open revealing Ryou with his phone "I'll just have to go with you."

Yugi jumped back and screamed. "RYOU!"

"What did I told you about screaming like a girl?"

"But… How.. You scared me!"

"I know! And it was too easy!" Ryou said and laughed "So when is your boyfriend coming to pick us up?"

"He is not… wait, you want to come too?!" Yugi asked

"Yugi, as your best friend I have to make sure you don't get hurt..."

"You want to see what video games he has don't you?

"He is a freaking rock star! If he doesn't have good ones I am going to be disappointed" Suddenly they heard the sound of a car. "That must be him." They walked out to find a figure with a black hood, black cap and sunglasses standing beside a red car. "Hey Yugi and Yugi's friend"

"Hey Yami... aww you didn't bring the limo?"

Yami chuckled "I was going to but then I thought it would be better not to cause too much attention..."

"Hellooo, nice to meet you too..." Ryou said.

"Oh right" Yugi said, he almost forgot Ryou was with him. "Yami, this is Ryou..."

"Yugi's BEST friend!" Ryou said and Yugi rolled his eyes. "You have to dress like that every time you go out?" Ryou asked

Yami shrugged "I don't have to, but if I don't then the fangirls appear and things get ugly from there." He then turned to Yugi "I thought you didn't want your friends to know about me"

Yugi sighted "I didn't tell him, he figured it out on his own. Hope you don't mind if he comes too."

Yami shook his head "Not at all, come on, there is no point in standing here doing nothing." He then opened his door and sat on the driver's seat. Yugi sat on the other side and Ryou opened the door for the back seat but instead of finding an empty seat…

"Who is this bloody idiot?!"
