Hi! Updates are back to normal again! Happy new year ^^ Oh, and if anyone is interested and they don't know already, I posted a new year's oneshot yesterday. The pairings are Puzzleshipping, Polarshipping and Supportshipping (But there's slightly less supportshipping), and it can be found in my other story collection, 'I'm Happy If You Are'. XD

Anyway, this one is another Puzzleshipping post-canon-where-Yami-stays fic. I'll put the disclaimer in with the title and word count from now on so I freaking remember XD So, I hope you enjoy! ^^

"Now, matrices are a very helpful part of mathematics, so-"

Ignoring the teacher, Yuugi grabbed his extra exercise book and began to doodle. From a distance, it would look as if the teen was simply taking notes; he had no reason to believe that this would help in later life at all. And doodling Dark Magician Girl was much more fun.

'No, no... Damn it!' He scribbled on the paper as the pen ran out, but to no avail. He didn't have a spare pen, so he'd have to look for another. 'I wonder if anyone's dropped one..?'

His eyes skimmed the classroom. Jounouchi and Bakura looked to be falling asleep, Anzu was staring blankly at the textbook, Honda was making paper aeroplanes, two kids were passing notes, and another looked like they were considering jumping out of the window.

He grinned triumphantly upon noticing a pen under the desk next to him, and reached out-

"Mister Mutou!"

He yelped, almost falling out of his chair. The teacher glared at him. "Pay attention and sit down properly!"

'Stupid teacher... No one's paying attention!' Pulling a face, he sat down slowly.

"As I was saying, place the numbers in the first bracket into rings horizontally, and vertically in the-"

How was this relevant? Stupid math. Well, Yuugi thought so, anyway. Sighing, he looked at the kid next to him, and smiled to himself.

Yami. Former spirit of the Millennium Puzzle, and holder of Yuugi's affection, not that he knew that.

"Hey," he whispered, "Mou Hitori No Boku?"

The former spirit had a piece of paper in front of him, writing. From the clearly defined lines of the kanji, Yuugi knew it wasn't math-related, but just what was it? Before he got a proper glimpse, the other gave a startled squeak and covered the sheet with his hand.

'I'm not even going to ask... He'll tell me if he wants me to know.'

"Uh... Y-yes, Aibou..?"

'...Did he just stutter?!'

"That pen on the floor..." he pointed at said object. "Can you pass it over here?"

Yami nodded hastily, ducking his head as he picked it up. Yuugi frowned sadly; Yami had been acting strange recently... It started not long after he was given his own body. He suddenly sat up and handed the pen over, continuing with his own mystery paper using a pen with red ink.

"Thanks," he whispered.

"Mister Mutou, for the second time! Be quiet, or you'll be in detention!" The teacher snapped. "That goes for you, too, Mister Mutou" she muttered disapprovingly at Yami. "Since you're new here, I'll let you off this once, but don't let your brother distract you again." As far as the school knew, the boys were brothers; it made coming up with a false identity for the once Pharaoh much easier. Yami nodded quickly before returning to his task.

'Finally! It's over!' Yami cheered mentally. The moment the bell rang, the class sprang to life, leaving as quickly as possible. He hung back, seeing trying to cram his books into his bag, Yuugi waiting. They were the only two left in the room; even the teacher had gone.

Yuugi's eyes were immediately drawn to the neglected paper. It couldn't hurt to...

"H-hey! G-give that back, Aibou!" he cried out, and Yuugi winked.

"I only wanna read it!"

"N-no! Don't-"

The stunned look in the younger's violet orbs and the pink dusting his cheeks were enough for Yami to know it was too late.

"You should write this more seriously...!"

Yami winced. "I'm always serious!" He yelled, going tomato-red. Well, he was screwed. Yuugi would definitely know his feelings, now.

'Dreams and Aspirations:

1. Aibou's Husband

2. Aibou's Bride

3. Aibou's Lover'

"Look, I'm so sorry, Aibou! I can explain!"

"I-it's okay..?"

Both blushed furiously.

Based on a picture I saw on Tumblr the other day. The only problem was, it was all in Japanese, but there was a rough translation underneath. It basically had Yuugi reading the paper (Which had that list on it), and then had Yuugi mention writing it more seriously, with Yami protesting he's always serious. Yuugi started going on about looking for a job for eternity afterwards, but I let that part out since it didn't really make sense with the rest of this oneshot. And as for matrices... They're actually pretty easy, but still seem rather pointless.

The next one will finally feature the pairing in the summary that I haven't written a drabble for yet! (No, I'm not adding Monarchshipping, I decided against it.) I won't tell you what it's about, though.. I wanna surprise you all ;)

Please review and tell me what you think! And keep a lookout for the next drabble XDDDDD
