Anzu and Atemu sat at the cooking lab, facing each other as they sat side by side with only about 6 feet separating them. Anzu chewed on a sugar cookie, her legs crossed and her face containing a patient, yet somewhat annoyed, expression, waiting for another question to be asked. Atemu sat with his arms crossed, ignoring the cookie Anzu had put on a plate for him, it sat next to him, untouched. He closed his eyes in thought and reopened them.
"Favorite food."
"I already told you, hamburgers."
"Favorite color."
"Light and dark blue."
"Favorite animal."
"He likes all animals."
"Favorite casual outfit."
"A normal tank top and jeans."Anzu sighed, Atemu had already asked the same questions over and over again, as if he needed to make sure her answers were as he heard them, and always ended his line of questions with-
"You are certain that he's a guy?" Anzu let out a loud groan and nodded, this prince was dense as hell! She didn't understand how he couldn't know Yugi was a boy by now, Yugi told him, she told him, he wore the male uniform, was it any more obvious?!
"Does he like sweet or savory foods?" Atemu questioned, unfazed by her annoyed reaction to the previous question. Anzu tilted her head in shock, that was a new question, huzzah!
"He prefers sweet, but hamburgers still stand as his favorite food."
"How does he feel about Egypt?" Atemu asked, his eyes narrowed as he leaned forward, placing his elbows on his lap. Anzu nearly choked on her cookie as her eyes bulged out of her head, why would he ask that? She looked into his narrowed eyes, trying to search for the reason, she tried to analyze the situation. Atemu was from Egypt, he was chosen to pick out a spouse to take back home, he's asking how Yugi feels about Egypt...She didn't need to analyze anymore as her face turned a slight pink color. The prince worked fast, didn't he?
"I'm not sure how he feels about that," Anzu replied honestly, "But, I do know he has Ancient Artifacts as a class, so that might mean something." Atemu's eyes widened, his lips now forming into a small smile.
"Is that so?" He whispered, his smile never fading. "Good." He let out a relieved sigh and closed his eyes, Anzu feared for the worst, she didn't want to see her friend leaving her at the end of the month, but also wished that the prince would instead be interested in her, it would make things easier for Yugi, in her opinion.
"Your highness, may I ask a question?" She asked, placing her half eaten cookie down on the lab table. Atemu reopened his eyes and blinked at her, his lips now frowning in curiosity.
"You may." He responded, his eyes scanning her face to try to figure out what the question would be before hand. Anzu shifted in her seat, her face turning a brighter shade of pink due to Atemu's gaze.
"Why are you going after Yugi?" Anzu asked, her hands folded over in her lap. "After all, Yugi's a boy, and aren't you required to have a female lover?" She thought royals were required to have children, so that meant he had to have a female lover, right? Atemu sighed and placed a hand on his forehead, as if he had acquired a headache from the question.
"Yes, I am supposed to have a female lover," Atemu answered, a bitter tone coming out of his mouth before he could stop it. "But it is not required, I can get and do whatever I want." He removed his hand from his head, looking at Anzu with glaring crimson eyes. Anzu's face turned a brighter pink, threatening to turn into a shade of red.
"And I can also get," His eyes narrowed to a darker shade of crimson, making Anzu's face turn into a bright red that resembled a tomato. "Whoever I want." Anzu knew he wasn't talking about her, but the way he was looking at her could fool anyone! His eyes were darkened, clouded with desire for something, something that wasn't her. This guy couldn't be in love with Yugi, could he?
"You're not in love with Yugi, are you?" Anzu asked honestly, her hands shaking in fear, he might be making her feel uncomfortable in a good way, but he was frightening with those dark, narrowed eyes. Atemu's eyes darted away, scanning the wall as if it was the most interesting thing in the room.
"I don't know," Atemu sighed sadly. "His face is gorgeous," he began. "His voice is heavenly, his body is just perfect to look at, even if he isn't a female. His eyes are mesmerizing, and the way all of these features come together is completely, and utterly, stunning to the eye." He looked Anzu straight in the eye, making her own eyes widen as he voiced another sentence.
"And I simply cannot get him out of my mind."

"Wait, this is your next class?" Malik questioned, confused at what he was seeing. Yugi chuckled, his arm still being held in a tight grip. In front of them stood a large orange-red colored wall with a copper colored door, and that's all it was. A door and a wall, not a building at all. Malik let go of Yugi, marching to the side of the wall, looking behind it to see stools scattered behind it, all sitting in or next to a large sandbox, teenagers were around the room, talking and working on a piece of paper or digging with their hands.
"We can walk around, it's the guests that need to use the front door." Yugi walked to the side of Malik and smiled as he walked behind the wall, Malik followed with a pout on his face.
"But I am a guest." Malik grumbled, Yugi chuckled and looked at him, gaining his attention. Yugi smiled sweetly, his eyes sparkling in the bright sun and sweat glistening off his brow due to the heat outside.
"But you're a royal guest." Yugi said calmly, making Malik turn a bright shade of velvet. This kid had to be some kind of descendent from the goddess Aphrodite or something! He remembered how he, not only, made Mana blush, but he had made Seto blush for a second too, this kid had to have some sort of power within him, because Mana nor Seto ever blushed. Malik rethought that, Seto blushed plenty that morning after he saw that one kid...He felt someone tug at his wrist, he turned his eyes to see Yugi smiling at him once more, his hand wrapped around his wrist and beginning to pull him gently.
"Come on, let's go find my friend." Yugi chuckled, not noticing Malik's still bright red face. He led him to one of the largest sandboxes, which contained the teacher, an old man with friendly blue eyes and gray hair with a mustache, was talking to a long silver haired boy, Malik could only see the boy's back.
"Bakura!" Yugi yelled, waving his hand as the teacher and Bakura turned around. Malik froze, causing Yugi to stumble, Yugi looked up at him, concerned for his new friend.
"Malik?" Yugi whispered, looking at his face and his eyes widening at what he was seeing. Good god, not again! Malik stared at Bakura, taking in the boy's features. He stood with an authoritative, proud posture, his eyes cold and harsh but with a sense of thrill within them, his hair shined in the sun, making him shimmer on the spot, his thin sharp face complemented his slender, charming body, his pale skin mixed oh so well with his hair...Malik felt his mouth go dry, his mind became clouded, his face started to overheat. Dear Ra, This guy was handsome!
"Malik!" Yugi called, snapping his finger in front of his face, just like how Malik himself did to Seto. Malik wouldn't snap out of it, he just kept staring at Bakura. Bakura rose an eyebrow, saying a few words to the teacher, before he turned away from him and began to walk toward them, placing a hand in his pocket. Malik felt excitement rise in his chest, he's walking over here!
"Hey Yugi." Bakura spoke, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. He turned his eyes to the flustered boy next to his friend. "Isn't this one of the people who were with Mr. Blind?" Yugi felt his heart scorch in anger at the sound of a nickname for the damn prince, he shook his head, forget him!
"Yeah," Yugi smiled, hiding his rage toward the person that wasn't there. "This is Malik." Malik flushed when he was introduced, he bit his lip as Bakura trailed his eyes down his person, looking over his body with a blank expression.
"I see..." Bakura grumbled, he directed his eyes back to Yugi, not noticing Malik's flustered expression. "We have a worksheet today, one of us has to dig and one of us has to write down what we find." Yugi nodded, happy that Bakura decided to ignore Malik, he didn't want to lose all of his friends to royalty, it would make him feel lonely. Seto likes Joey, Malik seems to like Bakura, Anzu obviously likes Atemu...Yugi thought for a brief second that he could get together with Mana if all of his friends got together with the other royals, but shot that thought to the side, he didn't want to be in a relationship, much less with a royal, and besides, he didn't know for sure if Joey or Bakura would even like the royals back.
"I'll write." Yugi smiled, knowing that Bakura hated writing due to his handwriting, Bakura had sloppy handwriting, while Yugi had straight, yet feminine, handwriting. Bakura nodded with a small smile and handed him a piece of paper.
"Where were you hiding this?" Yugi questioned, not knowing where he had gotten the paper. Bakura winked at him.
"Secret." He teased, kneeling down in the sandbox. Malik wanted to squeal, the wink that Bakura had done was so sexy! Yugi looked at Malik, seeing him swoon as he looked at his friend, Yugi felt bad for Bakura. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a pencil and sitting on a nearby stool.
"Okay, get digging then, slave." Yugi said with a smirk as he kicked Bakura's back gently. Bakura let out a laugh as he nodded and began to dig with his hands, not caring as Malik knelt down beside him, holding his chin in the palm of his hands, looking like a little kid as he did this.
"So, what class is this?" Malik asked in what he hoped was a normal voice. Bakura darted his eyes to him for a brief second, only to return them back to the sand a moment later.
"Ancient Artifacts." Bakura responded, feeling a hard item hit the back of his hand, he dug it out, finding a small circular object. He rolled it in the palm of his hands, dusting it and blowing on it, sending a cloud of sand in Malik's face by accident. Malik gasped and coughed as he rose a hand to his mouth, he felt his eyes sting, he had gotten sand in his eyes. Bakura's eyes rolled in annoyance and groaned, handing the object to Yugi, who was now waiting patiently for the show between Bakura and Malik to continue.
"Idiot." Bakura grumbled, grabbing Malik's face and reaching into his pocket, pulling out a white handkerchief, he spat into it, rubbing the liquid into the fabric before he rose it up to Malik's eyes. Yugi watched this, ignoring the item and assignment they were given, he wasn't surprised when Bakura did this, he did it for all the students who would get hurt, he liked taking care of people, no matter how mean he acted.
Malik whimpered, feeling the handkerchief rub into his eyes between his eyelids, clearing them of the gritty substance. Bakura removed the cloth from his eyes, now beginning to dust off Malik's shoulders.
"There, now open your eyes." Bakura ordered harshly. Malik obeyed, slowly opening them, he widened his now healed eyes as he found that they didn't sting anymore. He smiled brightly and lunged himself at Bakura, tackling him down to the sand in a sudden hug, causing a tan-brownish powder to explode around them. Yugi let out a burst of laughter as he saw this, his friend's pale face now turning a slight shade of pink and his eyes widening, his body covered in sand.
"Hey!" Bakura yelled, grabbing Malik's tanned shoulders. "Get the hell off of me!" He demanded, shoving Malik up, allowing him to look up at violet colored eyes, he narrowed his chocolate colored ones, what the hell was this royal thinking? Malik smiled sweetly down at him and lifted himself up. Bakura stood up, with Malik following, and dusted himself off. He pointed at Malik, his face cold.
"Don't touch me, got it?" Bakura hissed with a harsh glare. Malik just nodded excitedly, unfazed by his glare and tone. This stunned Bakura for a brief second, making him wonder why the boy wasn't whimpering or shivering in fear, the only people who didn't faze at his glares were Yugi, Anzu, and Joey. He ignored this and stared down at the sand, trying to block out Malik's lovestruck gaze and Yugi's laughter.
So far, Bakura hated class today.

"Anzu, I truly appreciate, but you-" Atemu spoke as he was suddenly tugged harshly as he was dragged out of the blue building, after he had said that he couldn't get Yugi out of his mind, Anzu's face had changed and she had suddenly said that if he was serious, she would help him acquire Yugi, he was overjoyed but why was she dragging him?
"Look," Anzu spoke, her voice annoyed as she let him go and spun around to face him. "Do you want my help or not?" Atemu nodded mutely, feeling frightened by the girl's sudden question.
"I'm not exactly happy with helping you," Anzu admitted to the royal, "But since you speak as if you actually do love him, then I will gladly help you." She looked around and rested her eyes on a single wall that stood out of place in the school grounds, she pointed at it. "That's Yugi's next class; Ancient Artifacts." Atemu nodded, remembering that she had told him that he had that class.
"I want you to go in there and get to know him." Anzu said as she began to walk toward the wall. Atemu's eyes widened in panic, quickly following after her.
"W-Wait, but that's why I was asking-"
"Don't rely on his friends to tell you his personalty and attitude," Anzu snapped at him, feeling angry at the royal she had formed a slight crush on. "We can only tell you what he likes, nothing else." Atemu understood and nodded, sighing as they stood in front of the wall. Anzu gestured for him to stay as she peeked on the other side of the wall, her eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Atemu questioned, noticing her widened eyes. Anzu bit the inside of her cheek and turned to him.
"You came here with a tanned blond haired boy, didn't you?"
:Malik likes someone, Seto likes someone, Yugi hates someone, Anzu likes someone, Atemu likes someone, EVERYBODY LIKES SOMEONE. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review!:
