After everybody was done eating their burgers, Duke broke the silence with a blunt statement, "So, you guys as you may already heard a while ago, Yami is going on a date with me".
"Yeah, I heard Duke, I was very surprised for me to hear that" Tea responded smiling.
"And why is that Tea?" Duke asked her.
"Well basically I like Yami since he entered school. So I wanted to go on a date with him. Is that wrong?"
"No, it's not wrong Duke. If you like someone, you got to ask him or her out. But good for you that Yami agreed on this date though. You just need to tell George because he lives under the same roof as he" Joey commented, earning a nod from Yugi who was eating a French fry.
"I know, but I am quite nervous for some reason. But I have been through this before so this is no different".
"Yeah, go do that Duke" Tristan declared.
"You know this is my first ever date Duke" Yami admitted with a blush.
"And I am glad to be your first date Yami".
"So, Duke do you have any ideas on where we could go for our date?"
"Well, as of right now I don't but I'll let you know. Better yet, I'll keep that as a surprise".
"I hate surprises Duke" Yami admitted laughing.
"Well, since the date is tonight, I will keep my lips sealed Yami. I won't spill any surprises".
"Seriously? I want to know".
"No Yami, I won't let you know okay".
"Fine, be that way".
The rest of the gang were laughing at their pointless banter.
"So Yami, you REALLY want to know where Duke is taking you huh?" Tristan spoke up.
"Yes Tristan, I really do. I don't enjoy having people keeping some things to themselves".
"Well that is how Duke is. We known him for two years now Yami" Yugi commented.
"Yeah, I just want to surprise you Yami, that's all".
"Okay, I let this slide Duke".
Laughing, Duke then said, "Well, since the date is tonight, I must go to get some things ready. See you later Yami. I am going to go pick you up at 7. And I will be taking you somewhere that you will like".
"Okay, see you then Duke" Yami responded with a timid smile.
"Bye Duke" Joey said.
Watching Duke leave the restaurant Yugi spoke up and said to Yami, "So Yami are you excited for your first ever date?"
"Yes Yugi, I am excited, but I am also nervous too. This is all new to me".
"You will be okay. Everybody goes to a first date at some point and most of them, if not all, get nervous too" Joey responded.
"You were like that with Mai, remember?" Tristan declared.
"Yeah, I was really nervous. I was a mess".
"So, you two went on a date then?" Yami asked.
"Yes, we went on a date. And I am more happy that she agreed to be my girlfriend a week after that date. That happened a year ago. And we're going strong".
"Have you reached your one-year together yet?" Yami asked again.
"Yeah, that happened 2 months ago. We went to dinner and I asked her to marry me that night".
"You did? What did she said?"
"She said yes. I am literally the happiest man ever. We're still on the plans of marriage though".
"Take your time Joey, there's no rushing" Yugi declared.
"That's great Joey" Yami said with a smile.
"Thanks man, I just can't wait for the day. The day where Mai becomes my wife".
"Where is she anyways?" Tristan asked Joey.
"Right now, she's out with her sister shopping for their aunt's birthday next week".
"Oh" Yami responded.
"Has she gotten that job she wanted?" Yugi asked Joey.
"Yeah, she finally gotten last Monday. She's really happy about it. I am just waiting for the phone call for that job I applied two weeks ago. I received an e-mail stating that I should be getting one this week" Joey admitted.
"Hopefully you get the job. Which job is it though?" Tea asks.
"It's for a position for this up-and-coming business for a shoe store".
"That's good Joey" Yami said.
"Well, I wish I could stay longer but I must leave. My mom is expecting me to go help her for some errands" Tea said as she is getting up from her seat next to Yugi.
"Oh, okay see you later Tea" Yami said.
"Okay bye you guys".
"I guess I also leave. I must prepare for my date tonight" Yami interrupts.
"Good luck Yami on your date" Yugi said.
"Thanks".
Yami then leaves the restaurant with a big smile on his face, knowing that tonight will be something special for him and Duke.
