Mokie: hehehe…. Malik and Marik know each other now…. Muhahahaha! What will happen!

Imay: Half a can of diet coke and your all awake. What to do with you?

Mokie: Hey! I need the caffeine to write in the middle of the night, not the calories! *Bright idea* Imay! Go get the mentos!

Imay: NO! Does that even work with half a can?

Mokie: I want to see what happens if I swallow it!

Imay: No. Just write the chapter and drink the coke. We do not own Yu-Gi-Oh, blah blah blah. Music, blah blah blah. Yaoi, blah bla- OK we've been over this!


Yami was sitting in class the next day, fiddling with one of his golden bangs to keep him occupied for the boring period. It was doing a better job at entertaining him than he thought it would.

Yami was being held prisoner in science class. His least favorite of all the classes. But turns out in this class he had Malik. Malik was in the back his first day, so he didn't see him. He had everything planned in his head. Yami had Yugi first period, Malik second, he even had Ryou third for art, and then back to Yugi for lunch and gym. He at least had one friend for every class.

Yami turned to his right, where Malik was sitting for today. He was texting someone, and rapidly. Yami figured that's why Malik asked to sit in the back.

A blush came across Malik's face as he read a lengthy text. So he was texting Marik more huh? He was doing so when Yami got to the school this morning, and in the hallways. (My high school allows you to use your phone the four minutes between classes! I can't wait!)

Yesterday was really weird for Yami. Marik didn't really do anything harmful to Malik. He was just love sick. The previous summer, Malik's family went to Tokyo for the whole season. He even dragged Ryou along. Malik and Marik met in an arcade when Malik wouldn't stop "pwning" Ryou every time he won in a shooting game. Marik took Ryou's place and shot the crap out of Malik, and ended it with a calm, polite "pwned."

They began to hang out more and more and developed into a couple. Then when the summer ended, they had to end their relationship when Malik had to go back to Domino City. They were really in love with each other and Malik wouldn't forget him no matter what. He wanted to, but huge part of him didn't. But even more drama happened yesterday.

After ten or so minutes of Malik and Marik talking, they finally hung up. Marik gave Malik his number so they could talk later. Happiness radiated off Malik as he handed Yami back his phone.

"So…?" Yami asked him.

"Well if you couldn't tell from the beginning of the conversation, he misses me a lot," he gave a soft sigh, "Well…. We're going to make it happen somehow,"

"Well I better get going," Ryou told the both of them. Malik's eyes widened when something clicked in his head.

"Oh my god, Ryou!" Malik hugged him around the waist and began to spin, "You know what this means!"

"No! What?" he gasped for air as Malik squeezed to hard, "Put me down!"

Malik let him go and put his hands on Ryou's shoulders to look at him directly in the eyes, "Bakura's there too!"

"You know Bakura too?" Yami asked them and Ryou's face became slightly red.

Yami was glad to have a mother who didn't get home till late. He pulled out his cell phone again and texted Marik again. He never trusted Bakura to keep his phone alive.

"Tell Bakura I have Ryou here too" he sent the text and got a reply later while listening to the other two talk about that summer. They were all sitting in the grassy part of the school court yard, under the big tree Yami had originally saw the two.

'You got kitty too?'

'Kitty?'

'Bakura's nickname for him. Hold on I'm telling him,'

Yami put his phone on the ground and listened to the two wonder what their old boyfriends have been up to the past couple of months. His phone rang again, and this time Yami answered it.

"I'm not the friggin love doctor! Figure your own way to contacts your… 'kitty.' He paused to listen to Bakura talk to him, "Ok, here Ryou," he handed him the phone.

Ryou hesitated at first, then snatched it away like a lion to a mouse, "Hello?"

A few seconds passed and Ryou gasped and his face became so red. He reached into Malik's pocket and pulled out a black sharpie and wrote seven numbers on his arm, "Ok, call you later,"

Yami looked at Malik, "Why exactly was that in your pocket?" All Malik did was laugh with a creepy grin.

Yami thought how this all started, when Malik tricked him into accidentally giving away his secret, "Why did you trick me like that in the first place?"

"You smiled every time Yugi's name came up,"

So here he was. The hero of Malik and Ryou, his new friends. He had a four person group of friends he made on his first day. All, or almost all, gay.

Yami began to wonder about Yugi. He barely knew anything about him. Just that he was V.P. and liked music. Basically, that was it. He would have to find out more. He didn't get anytime first period to talk to him because he had to quickly do his science homework. He made a mental note to not skip homework so he could spend more time with Yugi.

The bell rang and Yami was off to art class. He didn't need anything so he shut his locker after just cramming everything in. He walked up the stairs to the class and entered it. Ryou was already there, a dazed look on his face.

Yami decided to interrupted his new friends day dream. He snapped his fingers in front of Ryou's face. Said person lifted his head out of his palm and blinked several times before realizing where he was.

"You two are just out of it today," Yami took the seat next to Ryou and looked straight ahead at the board with a chalk picture of a hummingbird.

Some time passed and the class was over. Yami didn't know his mind was gone until the bell rang and Ryou asked him what he thought of the movie on gargoyles.

"What?" Yami asked him with confused look on his face.

"And you say I'm out of it," Ryou walked to the lunch room with Yami. They got their food and went out to the tables. Yami decided to sit with Ryou and Malik. He figured he was hanging out with them so much because they looked and even acted like his old friends.

Malik joined them a minute later. As soon as he sat down, he stole one of Ryou's french-fries and he in return, Ryou slapped the back of his head. Yami pulled his food closer to himself to protect it. He learned to do this around Marik.

Ryou told the two about how he and Bakura talked for two hours last night talking about how much they missed each other. He told Yami how they met also. Ryou and Bakura met the same day Malik and Marik did. When Marik took Ryou's spot, Bakura dragged him over to a fighting game where his kicked Ryou's butt.

The entire time he was telling them this, he had his head resting on the back his hand on the table. A dazed look on his face as he remembered the memories.

Silence came over the three as their mutual friends came through their minds. Yami was shaken from his thoughts as someone from behind him tapped him on his shoulder.


Mokie: I ended up crashing half way through the story. Lol. Soda didn't work much. I'm going to soon put up a new story called "Art Class." It's another puzzleshipping and I've already written a few chapters of it. I'll be posting the first chapter within the next few days.
