A/N: Finally chapter two is up! I know this is freakishly late. I spent way too much time thinking about this and not actually writing. But it's finally up! As more things happen, it will get easier for me to write, so hopefully faster updates after this (yay!)

WARNING: Shonen ai, boys likin' boys. Some OOCness.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters.

Enjoy! (hopefully XD)

Kaiba took a deep breath. He was a Kaiba, he shouldn't be able to get anxious. Yet, the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach wouldn't go away. He should blame Yami. After all, it was all his fault that Kaiba was feeling so... Well, Kaiba was feeling.

It started in school, earlier that day. It wasn't odd to see Kaiba reading. But it was odd when someone interrupted Kaiba's reading time. Of course, Yami hadn't had his own body long enough for him interrupting Kaiba's reading to become an everyday occurrence.

"What are you reading?" Kaiba looked up, making sure his surprise was hidden.

"Mein Kampf." Kaiba turned back to his book to continue reading. Yami just stood by Kaiba's desk for a few seconds, before speaking again.

"Mein Kampf?"

"Hn."

"Isn't that by Hitler?"

"Hn."

"I suppose it's... Twisted."

"Hn."

"I'd love to read it."

"Hn."

"It doesn't look like you have much left to read. Actually, it looks like you could be done with it today."

"Hn."

"I was wondering... Could I borrow it when you're done?"

"Hn."

"Will you come to the shop and drop off the book when you're done with it?" Kaiba looked up again, and Yami smirked when their eyes met. Suddenly Kaiba felt that he should've been paying much more attention to the conversation.

"I can't guarantee I'll be done with it right after school. It might be too late." Kaiba kept a straight face, which was surprising since on the inside he was begging Yami to do anything but let it go. Not that he'd ever admit that.

"It's fine. Just drop it off when you're done with it. I'll be up, even if it's pretty late." Yami, still smirking, walked away.

Kaiba smirked himself, turning his head back to Mein Kampf. The small detail that he'd already read it several times just wasn't very important.

So Yami was all to blame for how anxious Kaiba was feeling. The time had passed too fast for once, and he knew that he would have to drive to the game shop to give Yami the book. Logically, he knew that it would probably be just that; the transfer of a book. But even with this knowledge, he still found himself worried about the interaction.

After all, it would be the first time Kaiba was actually interacting with Yami since Kaiba asked him how he had gotten into school. Which hadn't turned out bad. Even though Kaiba hadn't gotten the answer to any of his questions, he'd gotten Yami to talk to him. So it wasn't all bad. And Kaiba had acted fairly Kaiba-like, despite how he had acted the first time he saw Yami. Then again, school was a completely different setting from Yami's home. Where Kaiba had to go now. In Kaiba's mind, he knew he was just being ridiculous.

Kaiba took another deep breath, and went out to his car.

The drive to the game shop was much too short. Kaiba got out of his car with no hesitation, making sure he would look completely normal if someone were to see him. No matter what his inner turmoil was, his appearance had to be flawless. After all, he had a business, if anyone caught him looking creepy it would be detrimental.

He knocked on the door twice, using a little more force than he meant to. He considered just leaving the book on the ground and leaving, but his pride just wouldn't allow it. There was also the fact that Kaiba knew that he would regret not seeing Yami. He forced himself to stay still, refusing to let his body fidget in his impatience.

The door finally opened, only a little. Kaiba could see Yami peeking out from the inside. He almost laughed, Yami just looked silly. But cute. Wait, did Kaiba really just think that Yami looked cute? Before Kaiba could follow these thoughts, the door opened all the way, revealing all of Yami. For Kaiba, all of the internal trouble he had went through was worth it the second he saw Yami. Even better, it was just Yami, none of Yami's other much less interesting companions. Plus, Yami was wearing casual clothes. Completely worth it.

"So you decided to show up?" Yami was smirking, and Kaiba found it was extremely contagious. The thought of how ridiculous they must have looked, just standing there smirking at one another, only crossed Kaiba's mind for a split second before disappearing as he replied,

"How long do you think it takes me to read a book?"

"How badly do you want to know the answer to that?" Kaiba decided to ignore Yami's 'question,' and instead continued off of his own comment.

"Though if you were basing my reading abilities off of your friends', I'm not surprised you expected me to never finish the book."

"Hey!" Yami sounded a little annoyed, but he was still smirking, and Kaiba could tell from his eyes that he wasn't really mad, so Kaiba continued.

"You should've based my reading abilities off of your own instead." This made Yami pause, but not for too long.

"Was that a compliment?"

"It depends on how great we think my reading ability is."

"So it was a compliment."

"Does that mean you think I have an amazing reading ability?"

"No matter what I think, I know that you think your abilities are great. So it was a compliment. You complimented me." Kaiba wouldn't respond to that, but wondered if he was just imagining how much happier Yami looked.

"Kaiba Seto said something positive. A compliment. To me." Yami was muttering more to himself now, and Kaiba wondered if he spoke to himself often. Kaiba made sure to note it in the back of his head for later. For now, he had to actually do what he came for. Yami stopped muttering when the book was held out in front of him.

"I'm assuming you already get that I expect you to read this quickly." Nodding, Yami finally grabbed the book from Kaiba. Kaiba debated whether or not to purposely brush hands, but he knew that Yami would definitely be suspicious of him then. Kaiba was almost regretful of giving up the book, his reason to be there, but he knew that waiting any longer would be a little suspicious. He couldn't have Yami suspicious of him, especially not when they were still building a relationship. What that relationship was, exactly, Kaiba wasn't sure.

The two teens stood in a comfortable silence. Kaiba was waiting for Yami to say something before he left, but Yami was just staring intently at the book; the cover, the back, the spine, flipping through it. Kaiba just watched and waited, perfectly content to just stand outside the door and look at Yami.

So he noticed when Yami smirked. Out of nowhere, Yami just smirked at the book. Kaiba's mind couldn't come up with why he would suddenly smirk at a book after staring at it for so long. He was about to question Yami about it, but Yugi suddenly showed up. Yugi looked surprised to see Kaiba there.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still here, Kaiba. Yami went to get the door, saying you had something to drop off, but he was taking a while, so I-"

"Yugi," Yami was the one who interrupted, "Doesn't this book look very worn out?" Yugi looked at the book, somewhat confused, before confirming that, yes, it did look quite worn out.

"Just like someone has already read it a lot." Yami was looking directly at Kaiba when he said this, so Kaiba settled with "Hn," in response, and walked back to his car.

It was such a foolish mistake, he should have known that Yami would notice something so blatantly obvious. It was so very foolish of him.

But Kaiba was smirking the whole way home.

A/N: So did you like it? Tell me if you see any mistakes, I typed while tired and that never goes very well. I wanted to get it up as soon as possible though ^^ I'll go through it again when I'm all rested.
I hope you liked it~ Please review :3
