'+ My Fiancé's Cousin

[CHAPTER FOUR]

Yuugi's opened his eyes but immediately regretted it when the bright ray of sunlight hit his eyes. Wincing from the harsh light, he squirted his eyes and looked at the time from his cute green frog alarm clock. It read 10:00 AM. Yuugi sighed and turned his attention to the ceiling. Yesterday dinner was such a fail and why did Yami had to ruin his meal? He was trying to impress his in-law and did a really fantastic job as well.

Yuugi also didn't get to have a chat with Seto at all since he was talking business all night with his parents. At least Yami had kept him company. Yami may have ruined his meal but he helped out Yuugi a lot and Yuugi was thankful that he and Yami had become friends.

Getting out of bed and taking a quick shower, Yuugi quickly ran down the stairs to the kitchen. He hoped today he could hang out with Seto, so he could get to know his fiancé more and making Seto's breakfast would be a good start. When he reached the kitchen he met Yami who was sitting on a stool, drinking a cup of hot coffee and flipping through a magazine at the same time. "Morning!" Yuugi said to Yami with a happy smile as he bounced over to the sink.

"Morning" Yami grumbled back not looking up from his magazine.

Yuugi whistled a cheerful tune and took out a stove from the cupboard, "Is Seto up? I'm planning to make him breakfast?"

There was a few seconds silent, "He went to work." Yami finally replied.

Yuugi's smile faded, "Oh? And I thought we could hang out today as well…." He stopped at what he was doing and sighed. Seto was always at work. He really wanted to get to know him better but it was hard, considering he was never home. "And we also needed to start our wedding plan." He turned toward Yami, "Do you want to come with me to find a wedding planner?"

Yami was about to decline but he stopped himself because he knew Yuugi will be even more sad if no one was going to join him and his little outing today, "Uhh, sure."

"Yay! I'm going to get my wallet and then we can go out!"

Malik and Marik were in the mall walking hand in hand. It was their fifth date and Marik had noticed his boyfriend didn't seem to be in full sprit today, "Hey, what's wrong with you today honey?"

Malik stared at his boyfriend with the sad, lost, little kid's eyes before he burst out everything. "So let me get this straight….if Seto doesn't get married by 27? You will have to take over the company?" Marik asked.

"Uh-huh. It's so stupid." Malik said with his arms crossed looking very frustrated. The whole night he couldn't sleep at all because all he could think about was him stuck in a small tiny room with a chair and desk with a very tight looking ugly suit. He didn't want to be a tight ass like his brother.

"Well, you don't have to worry because Seto can't break the marriage and Yuugi would never do that as well." Marik told him.

Malik shook his head, "No, because there's Yami-"His eyes widen when he noticed a pair walking toward their way, "Oh snap! We gotta hide now!" Malik jumped behind a bush and pulled his boyfriend along with him.

"Why are we hiding?"

Malik pointed at the two tri-colour star-shaped figures that walked past them, "Its Yuugi and Yami."

"But why are we hiding from them?"

Yuugi stood in front of a wedding shop that had caught his attention, "Should we go in this one?" He asked Yami who was standing beside him.

"I don't know, up to you…." Yami replied looking very bored.

Yuugi pouted, "Ok then this one it is." He dragged Yami inside with him and looked around the store. It was a nice cute shop with many photos of past wedding couples hanging on the wall. A boy with fluffy white hair, big brown chocolate eyes walked out from the back room.

"Hey!" He greeted them with a bright happy smile, "My name is Ryou."

"Hello, I'm Yuugi." Yuugi elbowed Yami.

"Yami."

"So are you two getting married? You two are such a cute couple! I'm so happy for you." Ryou chirped in a happy excited voice.

Yami and Yuugi was blushing madly, "Oh no, we are not getting married." Yuugi replied embarrassingly, "He's my fiancés cousin but my fiancé is a little busy today so I ask Yami to come along and help."

"Oh…I'm so sorry!" Ryou laughed nervously wanting to smack himself on the head, "But you two were just so cute together…hee hee….Anyway what kind of wedding do you imagine?" Ryou and Yuugi both have a really nice chat on what to have on Yuugi's wedding plan and surprisingly Yami gave out some good ideas to it as well. "A garden wedding sounds really beautiful, Yami." Ryou nodded his head, "That's good, we have about six months to prepare but I feel like I should be meeting with your fiancé for these things."

"Well, it's a good thing that I brought Yami along today." Yuugi grinned and patted Yami's arms whom almost smile at the touch but stopped.

Meanwhile, Malik and Marik were standing behind the bush outside Ryou's wedding planning office, spying on the three boys. "Wow! Since when does Yami talks to others that he is not close with let along touch him….?" Marik pointed out completely surprise.

"Never! But since Yuugi came along, he's been weird….I think he likes him!" Malik replied to his boyfriend.

Marik's eyes widen, "But he can't like him….I mean….he's Seto's fiancé."

"That's not the point! I….also think Yuugi likes Yami too."

"Wow…this is so dramaish….so you think Yuugi will break the wedding to be with Yami?" Marik asked and he gasped, "Which means you will have to work!" He laughed at the end but quickly stop when Malik were giving him murderous glares, "Ummm….ahh….so what do we do hun?"

Malik stopped his glaring and grinned evilly, "We just need to make sure Yuugi sees how much better Seto is. So basically we're going to lie."

Ryou watched the two boys suspiciously, examining everything about these two. "Yuugi said they aren't engaged but they have so much chemistry together. They are like the perfect couple, but why is Yuugi getting married to some other guy?" He wondered and quickly told Yuugi that he would like to meet the groom.

Yami have not eaten anything this morning except having a cup of coffee and he was feeling a little hungry. He felt his stomach grumble, "Yami, are you hungry?" Yuugi turned to him suddenly and Yami quickly shook his head but the rumbling of his stomach said differently.

"Liar…." Ryou said.

"It's ok Yami. Go and get some food." Yuugi urged him and pushed Yami out of the store while Ryou closely watched, "Hmm…so Yuugi also knows what Yami needs. Wait….I shouldn't meddle into the affairs of others…this is what Dad meant about me being nosy!" Ryou thought with a pout. "And maybe this fiancé of Yuugi's is a lot better for him than Yami.

"Fine….I'll bring you something back though." Yami told Yuugi and left.

"He's a nice guy…" Ryou said to Yuugi.

Yuugi blinked his eyes and then smiled, "You think so? He bothers me all the time at home." He informed Ryou.

"Really? You guys live together?"

"My father made me move in with my fiancé after he decided to sell my house." Yuugi explained it to him, "And Yami lives with Seto so he also lives with me too."

Ryou's eyes widen, "So this was an arranged marriage…..?" He questioned and Yuugi nodded, "Grr….I hate arrange marriages! They are so wrong! I hate having to sit and watch as two completely wrong people are married!" Ryou hissed in his thoughts but did not show his dislike for it to Yuugi, "So do you like Yami?" He asked Yuugi bluntly.

"Huh?"

"Do you like Yami?" Ryou asked again.

Yuugi looked confuse, "Of course I like Yami."

"No…I mean do you-" Ryou was cut off from a loud bang outside his shop. "Err….I'll be right back." He excused himself from Yuugi and walked toward his front window. He looked outside and found a shoe sticking out from behind the plant. Ryou rolled his eyes and lifted the plant out of the way. He saw two guys, sitting trying to hide themselves. "Ok, first of all, I can see you. Second of all, stop trying to hide. Third of all, who are you?" Ryou asked.

"I'm Marik." Marik pointed to himself.

"And I'm Malik."

"Yeah? And what are you doing outside my shop?"

"You don't own the mall!" Malik pointed out.

"Well, you're disturbing my customers." Ryou said, "Unless you two want to get married too…."

Both Malik and Marik's eyes widen, "NO!"

"Ok then, so if you'll excuse me-" Ryou didn't bother to finish the sentence and left, walking back inside to meet Yuugi.

"Man, what's up with him?" Marik murmured and pulled the groaning Malik of the ground. Both of their legs were getting numb from squatting the whole time.

"Erm, what…?" Yami came back, looking at Marik and Malik with suspicion on his face.

"Hi, Yami! Buddy!" Marik cried out trying to change the subject, "Haven't seen you in a while. We should hang out sometime! How about now?" He was also one of Yami's closest friends along with Seto and there was no way Yami would reject his offer.

"Can't. I'm helping Yuugi planning his wedding." Yami replied back and walked back into the shop.

Marik's mouth widen, "….ok this is serious." He said to Malik.

Yami walked inside, giving Yuugi a cup of chocolate ice cream while he happily accepted it. Yuugi also had just finished filling out a form about himself. "Here's my number and call me, ok?" Ryou told Yuugi.

"Great. Thank-you so much!" Yuugi poked Yami's arm, "Let's go, Yami."

Once the two had left, Ryou collected his thoughts, "Yami and Yuugi seem to be the perfect couple but Yuugi is engaged to some other guy…" Ryou said in his mind and looked down at the form Yuugi filled out, "Seto Kaiba?" Ryou read and he gasped, "The heir of Kaiba Co? That serious guy at the Christmas party? Yuugi's totally wrong for him!"

"What have I told you about taking to yourself…?" His father asked, popping his head through the door of the back room.

"Dad, go away!" His father shrugged and walked back inside the room.

How could Ryou Bakura, a wedding planner dedicated to ensuring people's happiness, let such a beautiful couple such as Yuugi and Yami, break because of an arranged marriage?

It would be a crime to do so!

Yuugi and Seto would not marry.

Not if Ryou Bakura had anything to do about it.

Heck, he might as well be Cupid in disguise!
