Malik and Yami took their regular seats at the back of the class. Yami didn't really need to pay attention that much because he picked up on things really fast and Malik could care less. He was at school for the kicks. "Attention, class!" Mr. Pegasus stepped into the classroom, his creepy pedophile grin always present on his face. "As you know, your papers are due on Friday. I hope you've all been working very hard on them." He put emphasis on the word 'Hard' and Malik stifled a giggle. "And now I'd like to announce that there is a foreign exchange student here from London, England. His name is Ryu Bakura and I want all of you to ignore the fact that there is a new student and work hard in class, ok?" Once again, he emphasized 'Hard' and Malik laughed out loud. "Malik, enjoying yourself?" Mr. Pegasus grinned creepily at him. "Well, alright. Ryu, you'll sit next to Malik, alright?"
An Albino kid walked into the room shyly and walked quickly to the back to sit where he was told. Malik grinned when he saw the kid and when he sat down he leaned towards him. "Hey, Ryu, right?" He grinned and stuck out a hand. "I'm Malik and this here's my best bud, Yami. Welcome to hell." Ryu laughed nervously and pushed his hair behind his ear revealing a piercing on his right ear. Malik's grin widened. "Your right ear is pierced. Are you gay or did you not know the rules?"
Ryu blushed and nodded. "Yah…yah I'm…gay…" He took his hand back and put it nervously in his lap, staring down at them.
Malik played with a piece of Ryu's long silver hair. "Don't be embarrassed about it." He said softly. "I'm gay too." He added to make a point and Ryu's face got redder.
"Malik, perhaps you'd like to answer the question?" Mr. Pegasus said from the front of the room. "Or are you too busy flirting back there to pay attention?"
"You caught me, teach." Malik smiled defiantly at his teacher. "I'm too busy to even care about your class." He shrugged. "But if you repeated the question I would be glad to answer it for you."
Mr. Pegasus frowned. "Alright, here's the question. "What does the Pig's Head in Lord of the Flies represent?"
"God." Malik said simply. "Any more questions?"
"Who dies at the end of chapter nine?"
"Simon."
"What do Piggy's glasses most likely represent?"
"The power of rational thinking and science."
"Have you even read the book?"
"No, I just skimmed through it." Malik stuck his tongue at his flustered teacher. "But I don't need to read it to know every tiny detail about it."
Mr. Pegasus sighed. "You have got to be the worst student ever…"
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." He turned back to Ryu. "So, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked, still playing with his hair. Ryu shook his head, his face still getting redder. "Are you interested in dating?" Ryu nodded slowly, still looking at his hands. Malik grabbed Ryu's chin with his free hand and pulled his face up so their eyes met. "What are you doing tomorrow night?"
Ryu took a moment to find his voice. "No-nothing…Wh-why?"
"Would you like to go to a little party with me?" Malik asked with a grin on his face and Ryu's eyes got wider.
"Like…like a…a date?" He asked slowly.
"Yah, a date. What do you say?" Ryu nodded and Malik gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Do you have a cell phone?" Ryu nodded and pulled it out of his front pocket. Malik took it and put his number in the contacts. "Call me." He winked as the bell rang and he stood up to leave. "What class do you have next?"
"Chemistry." Ryu replied, still shy and blushing.
"I'll walk you to your classroom." Malik took Ryu's hand and walked out the door. "See you later, Yami!" He called over his shoulder as the two left.
Yami sighed and rolled his eyes. Why couldn't flirting be that easy for him? He picked up his bag and left the classroom. "Yami," Mr. Pegasus called from behind him and he turned around. "You already e-mailed me your paper. Is this your final copy?"
Yami shook his head. "I was hoping you could look it over and let me know what I needed to fix."
Mr. Pegasus smiled. "Responsible as always. I'll e-mail you an edited version." With that he walked back into his classroom.
Yami sighed. "Yeah…mister responsibility…" He muttered to himself as he continued down the hallway. He was looking at his feet as he walked, not really paying attention to his surroundings, when someone bumped into him. He looked up to apologize when he saw Seto glaring at him. His heart jumped.
"Watch where you're going." He growled before leaning a bit closer. "Behind the school in five." He whispered before leaving Yami to his thoughts. His heart started pounding. Seto wanted to do something now? Behind the school? What was it? Did he want to talk or was it something else? His mind was racing as he walked into the closest bathroom and looked in the mirror. He would splash water on his face but he didn't want to screw up his eyeliner. He didn't own any waterproof makeup but he was considering getting some right about now…He looked at himself in the mirror and tried to calm down. He didn't want to seem desperate. He wanted to look cool and collected. He glared at his reflection and felt his heartbeat return to normal. "Don't make a fool of yourself, Yami." He whispered to his reflection. "Stop acting like a star struck school girl." He stood up straight and unzipped his uniform jacket revealing the black tank and collar underneath. "Looking good." He grinned and walked out of the bathroom heading for the back of the school.
"You're late." Seto raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, sorry." Yami said with a nervous grin. "I was-"
He was cut off with a soft kiss from Seto. "I don't need to know why. Have you ever ditched a class before?"
"No…" Yami felt himself blushing and felt like and idiot. Everyone had ditched before but he was too concerned with his grades to even consider it.
"Well then, this will be a first." Seto grinned and captured his mouth in another kiss. His tongue gently traced Yami's lips and Yami held his breath. Maybe ditching wasn't a bad thing. His lips parted and Seto's tongue started to explore his mouth. Yami felt Seto's hands wrap around his wrists and he brought his arms over his head and pinned him to the rough brick wall of the school. Yami's heart beat sped up and his cheeks got hotter. He hoped that they wouldn't be interrupted this time. He heard Seto moan and felt the vibrations in his mouth which caused him to moan as well and he started to get hard. Seto pulled back and smirked. "You get hard really easily, don't you?" He asked, keeping Yami pinned to the wall with one hand as his free hand went to tease his erection through the fabric of his jeans. Yami took in a surprised breath before letting out a soft moan.
"Seto…" He breathed and a moment later Seto released him. Yami let his hands fall weakly to his sides and gave Seto a slightly hurt look though lust still lingered in his eyes. "Why'd you stop?" He asked breathlessly.
"Do you really think school is the most appropriate place for this?" He sat down with his back against the wall and gave a gesture for Yami to sit down next to him. Yami did so and Seto slung an arm over his shoulder. "Gozaburo will be out of town this weekend and I'll find a way to get Mokuba out of the house." He said simply. "But for now I want you to tell me about yourself."
Yami sighed. "What do you want to know?" He asked shakily, still aware that he had a hard on. He pulled his knees up to his chest and looked up at Seto.
"Tell me about your family, I guess." He looked at Yami, a hint of curiosity touched his features.
"Well…My little brother, Yugi, and I are pretty much best friends. We tell each other everything."
"Have you told him about us?" Seto questioned.
Yami shook his head. "Not yet. I was planning on it, though. Do you want me to not tell him?"
"If you're sure he won't tell anyone else it's fine." Seto shrugged. "But he's the only one you can tell, got it?"
Yami nodded slowly. "Yah, sure. My mom pretty much takes care of us by herself." He continued. "I haven't told her that I'm gay but I will eventually. That's about it though…"
"What does your mom do for a living?"
"She works as one of the head chefs at a French restaurant called 'L'Escargot Bleu'." Yami smiled. "She's really good at cooking."
"Well if she's a head chef there she must be." Seto nodded. "I eat there often. It's really good." He raised an eyebrow. "And what about your dad?"
Yami looked down. "I'd rather not talk about him…" He said quietly and started to play with a loose string on the hem of his pants.
Seto nodded. "Alright." They sat there silently for a moment. "The bell is going to ring soon." Seto noted. "We should probably get going." Yami nodded. He had just missed math but that's ok. He didn't understand the way Mr. Kimo explained anything anyway. He stood up and zipped up his jacket. Seto grinned. "I like it better unzipped." He walked towards the back entrance and walked back into the school. Yami blushed slightly and played with his zipper until he heard the bell ring and ran into the building and towards his chemistry class.
