"There you are Mutou! I've been trying to hunt you down all day!" Yugi's track coach shouted angrily as he stormed down the poolside, ignoring the stares he received from all of the other swimmers.

Yugi's mouth twitched irritably as his track coach stared him down with a disapproving look. It was obvious that his coach was here to yell at him for missing practice earlier in the morning.

"What happened to your eye kid?" Coach Kujen asked gruffly as he leaned in closely to get a good examination of Yugi's bruised skin.

Yugi sighed and took a quick glance around the room. He caught Yami watching him curiously from the other side of the pool. He tried to give the other a look that said 'this is kind of funny, but not really.'

"I got hit in the eye by a baseball…"

"Did you have to go to the hospital for this injury?"

Yugi bowed his head for a second before bringing his eye back up to stare into the hard brown eyes of his coach.

"Well no, but the nurse…"

"If you didn't need to go to the hospital than I'm sure you were well enough to come to practice. Just because you got a little banged up you decided to skip practice huh? Well guess what Mutou? The only time someone gets by with skipping practice is if their limbs are broken and bleeding, they catch a disease, or they are so sick they can't even remember their own name. And as far as I can see you are neither of those things. Next time suck it up and show up or you can kiss your spot on the track team goodbye. Am I clear?"

Yugi tried to contain his anger as he dug his hands into the side of his chair. He knew Coach Kujen was a hard ass and liked to play by his way, but he really needed to learn to listen to the whole story and not just focus on his side.

"Crystal, sir," Yugi said through clenched teeth.

"Mr. Kujen," the familiar voice of Coach Mazaki yelled sternly from behind the man. "If you don't mind I have a dive team to train. I keep off your playing field so I'd appreciate it if you stayed off mine." she glared sharply with her blue eyes.

It honestly wasn't the first time Coach Kujen had marched into the indoor pool searching for Yugi. It had happened a few times before and Coach Mazaki was not fond of the track coach for diverting Yugi's attention away from dive. She highly disliked the man who interrupted her practice's.

"Of course, Mrs. Mazaki…I just wanted to tell Yugi something for tomorrow."

Yugi rolled his eyes as his track coach abruptly stormed away in a huff as he left the room. Mazaki let out a long agitated sigh before bringing her whistle to her lips and blowing through it harshly.

"Alright that's it for tonight guys," she announced. "I've noticed that some of you are a little tense so I think tomorrow we'll kick off practice with some yoga." multiple groans were heard but Mazaki simply ignored them. "And don't forget that tomorrows my birthday so I'll be bringing in a few goodies for you guys. Sound good?"

Everyone nodded, eager to get dressed and to go home. Once Mazaki blew the whistle again everyone pulled themselves out of the water. Yugi patiently waited for Yami to reach his end of the pool before walking with him to the locker rooms.

"Your track coach sure can yell loud. I swear if I was underwater I'd probably still be able to hear him," Yami grinned as he ruffled his hair with his towel.

"That's for sure." Yugi agreed with a nod of his head. "He was yelling at me for not coming to practice. And even with my injured eye he said that I should have come this morning."

Yami pursed his lips in distaste as he pulled his shirt out of his bag and quickly slipped it over his torso.

"Sounds like he's got something stuck up his ass."

Yugi chuckled. "Yeah. He's one of those sore loser kind of people."

The two of them began to talk about a few tests they had taken over the day as they finished dressing in their clothes. As soon as Yugi pulled on his sweatshirt and gathered his bags they left the school.

"So…" Yugi began as he stumbled alongside Yami on their way to Yami's car. "What's Bakura like?"

Yugi watched as Yami blinked a few times.

"Bakura? Oh yeah, uh…he's a nut," Yami finally said after much thought.

Yugi cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Is that supposed to be a plus or a negative…?"

"What I mean is that he has a complicated personality." Yami explained. "He's sarcastic, blunt, easily jealous. Uh, let's see, what else…? Oh, he's possessive, that's for sure. I guess you could say he's kind of malicious as well."

Yugi tried not to scrunch up his face as Yami listed Bakura's personality.

"He sounds…charming," Yugi said with a raised brow.

"But he kind of has a soft side. Rarely. I've seen him be all cute to a cat before. Course he didn't know I was watching him." Yami chuckled.

Yugi smiled as he got into Yami's car and got situated. He threw his bags in the back and quickly fastened his seatbelt.

"Well Ryou is sensitive towards other peoples feelings, he's one of those people who always seems to have the answers. You know, he gives good advice and stuff like that. Oh and there's something else, but you have to swear to me that you won't tell him I told you." Yugi said seriously as he waited for Yami to start the car.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." Yami said as he made an X over his heart with his finger.

"Kay well Ryou kind of let something slip when we were watching a movie one time. He said that he didn't really mind aggression. And sometimes he talks in his sleep and I heard him muttering some, uh, well…let's just say he doesn't mind chains." Yugi shrugged cutely as he fiddled with Yami's air conditioning.

"Ryou ever been with anyone else before?" Yami asked.

"Yeah with one other guy. Ryou was drunk when it happened. Oh yeah, I think he said it happened at Shori's party. You know, that huge beach party he threw last year when his parents were gone?"

"I remember. Think I hung around for a few hours." Yami nodded.

"Yeah, it was pretty fun. Well, it was, until some loser shoved ice down my pants," Yugi mumbled.

Yami couldn't help but laugh at Yugi's expression. He looked like a puffed out wild cat.

"And then some other guy tried to reach into my pants and get it out!" Yugi exclaimed wildly which only made Yami laugh harder.

After a few seconds Yugi succeeded to the laughter as well. They laughed for a few more minutes until their stomachs hurt.

Yami was the first to regain in composure as he shifted his fingers around the steering wheel. He bit his lip and glanced over at Yugi nervously.

"Uhm…" Yami muttered. "Have you ever…you know…been with anyone?"

"Me?" Yugi asked, blinking in mild surprise. "Uh no. I almost did it with this one guy that I met on vacation last year, but we decided we better not. Nothing good would have come out of it, you know?"

Yami nodded in understanding. He too had been in a similar situation.

"So you're bisexual then?" Yami asked rather bluntly.

Yugi scratched the back of his neck slowly, almost in a nervous kind of way.

"You could say that," Yugi said slowly.

Yami glanced over at Yugi and sensed his apprehensive state. He lightly flicked Yugi's shoulder to get his attention.

"Want to know something about me?" Yami asked.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Yugi smile a little. "Shoot."

Yami grinned. "I'm bisexuall too."


A/N - Alright now that the sexuality questions are out of the way, we can start some more fluff between Yugi and Yami! Oh and who else thinks Coach Kujen is a total ass? Yeah, I don't believe a real coach would say something like that to an injured player, but hey, this is an anime and everything is always more dramatic than it should be in them! Thanks for reading! Ja ne!
