I DO NOT OWN YUGIOH
"You would look great in a club."
Yami fell forward a bit as the words left Joeys' mouth. Did he just? Straightening himself out, he gave Joey a small, almost sad, smile.
"I don't go to clubs anymore."
"What? Com'on. You would be a lady killer!"
"Yeah but," Yami sighed and looked out the restaurant window,"last time I went to a club, I got drunk and, although I don't really remember, I assaulted someone."
"Assault? Like violently?" Joey asked
Yami shook his head,"No, uh I..."
The area around them turned uncomfortable as the words caught in Yamis' throat. It wasn't something he liked to talk about and certainly not something that he was comfortable saying to someone he just met. Joey seemed to catch onto what Yami was saying. He knew that it was hard to talk about this but he couldn't stop as his curiosity sparked. There was only one one thing that he needed to ask.
"Did you... ya know... go as far as to... well.."
"No." Yami cut in quickly,"Luckily the the person knew how to handle this and left before it could. I just wish I could apologize." He muttered the last part.
Joey sighed in relief "Okay. Then ya shouldn't feel bad. It was an accident."
The other rolled his eyes and set his chin in his hands, "No."
"Oh well, someday I'll take you to one."
He got the feeling that Joey was going to live up to that promise. After checking the time, Yami stood up and walked out of the booth. Stopping at the end of the table, Yami turned to Joey.
"I have to go now. Thanks for showing me around."
"No probl'm. See ya tomorrow?"
Yami nodded once before turning his back to him. Walking to the exit, he threw one last wave over his shoulder and left. Winding his way through the town Yami went on his way home. He walked up the dirt path that led to his home and once at the door, he pulled out his keys and let himself in. Boxes stilled littered the floor from his unfinished job of putting the house together. He didn't want to to anything with them tonight so he retreated to his room and got ready for bed.
Upon waking up the next day, Yami found that he forgot to close the blinds, allowing a stray beam of light in his eyes. Yami groaned and placed a hand over his eyes. Keeping his eyes covered, he swung his legs over the bed and onto the carpeted floor then stood up. Yami took his hand away so he could continue his morning routine of taking a shower, getting dressed, went to getting breakfast. He walked across the living room and over to the kitchen where he grabbed an apple out of the basket on the table. Taking a bit out of the apple, Yami leaned against the back counter so he had a full view of the kitchen, living room, and part of his bedroom through the open door. The boxes that lined the walls, some full and some empty.
Glancing to his left was the stairs that led upstairs to the loft. Up there were even more boxes that lay in wait for them to be emptied. Knowing that he shouldn't put it off any longer, he finished his apple and threw it away. Then he set off to complete the house.
~3:45 p.m.~
The house was finally finished. Thanks to his small homes before this, every box had been emptied with the exception of the few that held holiday items or things he didn't want out. All the other boxes were moved out of the house and packed neatly into the garage along with his unused car.
As he entered the house, he looked at the stoves clock and was shocked at the time.
"I really don't have a lot of stuff." Yami commented to himself.
He looked back at the living room before walking in. Turning to the left, Yami entered the small hallway that led outside. He grabbed his wallet and keys then left his newly completed home.
Making his way downtown and into the bustling streets, he saw a familiar head of blonde push his way over to him.
"Yami!" Joey shouted while waving an arm over the crowd.
Yami closed his eyes and smiled before opening them and weaving his way over to Joey.
"Hey Joey." Yami greeted when he got close enough.
Joey shot him a wide grin,"Lucky meetin' you here other wise I wouldn't know how to find ya. Come on, I got some friends that want to meet you."
