Knock! Knock!
Bakura groaned, rolling on his side to avoid the sound that erupted from the door. He threw the cover over his head, as if it could shield himself from the noise that interrupted his sleep, he was having a good dream too! He cringed as the knocks grew louder, he wondered vaguely about Yugi and Joey, how could they sleep through such a ruckus?
He breathed through his nose and threw the cover off of him, sitting up with his hair wild, the strands frizzy and spreading out in all directions. Bakura climbed down, not even trying to be quiet, if he was awake then they could be awake too. He looked to an alarm clock that was stationed on one of the desks, it read 5:00 am...Bakura wanted to yell at the person who was knocking to shut up and go back to sleep, there was still an hour and a half before school actually started!
He stomped to the door, his footsteps heavy with tiredness. He grabbed the door knob and jerked it open, sending a hellish glare at the person on the other side. It was a scrawny kid, one of the kids who were the goody-two-shoes of the school and were the teacher's pet. Bakura sighed, dropping his glare, he couldn't get mad at a student, they probably had a good reason to be down here. He looked at the kid, noticing how their eyes contained bags under them, the poor kid was probably woken up by a teacher or something to come to them.
"Do you need something?" Bakura spoke, trying not to sound angry but with his voice being tired, it was hard. The kid stiffened, even if Bakura wasn't glaring, he was still a scary person none the less.
"Y-Yes." The kid said, his voice a painful high pitched tone, had Bakura made the kid wet his pants or something? "T-These are for Y-Yugi M-Mutou!" He hadn't noticed the kid had his hands behind his back, but the kid moved his hands to the front, revealing a large, impressive looking bouquet of red roses, the thorns removed, in a white wrapping paper that kept them bunched together.
Bakura rose an eyebrow at the bouquet, third day being here and the royal was already sending Yugi flowers, the damn prince had it bad. He took the roses gently from the kids hand, nodding at them in thanks as he closed the door on him. He reached over to the light switch and flipped it on, causing a soft voice to groan and throw the covers over his face.
"Yugi," Bakura called out, knowing that the voice had been Yugi's. "You have a delivery." He walked to Yugi's bunk bed, looking to the side at his own bunk to see Joey on the bottom one, snoring away as if he hadn't noticed the change of light in the room. When did he get back last night? Heck, Bakura was surprised that him and Yugi had slept for such a long time, so how long had Joey slept?
"Tell them I don't want it." Yugi grumbled, his voice muffled from inside the blanket. Bakura rolled his eyes and threw the bouquet on top of Yugi, causing the young boy to yell in shock, he hadn't expected something to be thrown at him.
"I don't think you can send them back." Bakura commented, walking to the bottom bunk and grabbing Joey's shoulder. "Come on you, get up." He began to shake him, trying to wake him from his snoring slumber, it didn't work. The damn kid kept snoring, Bakura growled and walked to the desk, grabbing the clock off of it.
"What the hell is it anyway..." Yugi grumbled, slipping out from under the covers and reaching out in front of him for the item that was thrown at him. He heard a loud ringing come from below him, and a loud yell erupting from his blond friend.
"What the hell?!" Joey yelled, jumping up and bumping his head on the top of the bunk, letting out another yell as he fell back down onto the bed, his hands reaching to his head to cover the spot he had hurt, as if it could help heal the pain. Bakura chuckled and turned off the alarm, placing it back on the desk.
"You should have got up when I told you to."
"You didn't give me enough time to react!" Joey groaned, rubbing the top of his head, trying to ease the pain out of his mind.
"You're kidding me, right?" Yugi said in an annoyed tone. He held the bouquet of roses in one of his hands, staring at the beautiful flowers with a blank expression. Really? Yugi thought, really? Was this necessary? He jumped down from the bunk, the roses still in his hand. He narrowed his eyes at the roses and closed his eyes before he threw them on the bottom bunk. Bakura rose an eyebrow.
"You're not gonna put them in a vase?"
"No," Yugi answered, walking to one of the doors, opening it, and grabbing his uniform from the inside of it. "I don't want them." He knelt down and grabbed his shoes and socks. He walked to one of the desks, pulling the chair out and laid his uniform on it, placing his shoes and socks down at the bottom of it.
"Want what?" Joey questioned, sitting up slowly to make sure he didn't bonk his head on the top again. One hand remained on his head, continuing to rub it to ease the rest of the pain away. He looked at Yugi, who, at the moment, was stripping out of his clothes and placing his uniform on. He was wearing baby blue pajamas...When had he changed clothes?! The last time he saw him was when he was in his uniform and he had gone to sleep in them, well, he could have gotten up in the middle of the night and changed.
"The flowers that Yugi's admirer sent him." Bakura answered, walking to the other door, pulling it open, and grabbing his own uniform. He wore an open white T-shirt and gray pants. Again, Joey wondered, when the hell did he change?! Joey's eyebrow quirked up.
"Flowers?" Joey spoke. "Admirer? Is that the prince guy who thinks Yugi's a chick?" Bakura nodded in response, copying Yugi's action of pulling out a chair and laying his clothes on it. Yugi had finished putting on his uniform and was straightening his tie.
"He thought I was a chick." Yugi corrected. "Now he knows."
"Knows what?" Bakura questioned, pulling on his pants. "That you have a dick?"
"Yes."
"And he still wants you?"
"Yes..." Yugi sighed, thinking his tie was fine now. Bakura began to laugh, messing up his shirt in the process as the tie fell to the floor.
"So the royal was gay this time!"
"They're all gay." Yugi grumbled, narrowing his eyes at Bakura knowingly. Bakura stopped laughing instantly, knowing what he meant. He nodded at him mutely, he bent down to pick up his tie and began to fix his shirt.
"They're all gay?" Joey asked, walking to the closet and grabbing his own uniform, he knew when he had changed. His pajamas were simply dark blue pajama bottoms, he didn't like sleeping with a shirt on.
"Yup."
"How do you know?"
"I just do."
"What about the girl?" Bakura interrupted, fixing his tie and gesturing for Yugi to come over and help him. Yugi obliged, straightening his tie with a concentrated eye.
"Maybe she's straight," Yugi whispered, hoping that there was at least one normal royal. "But, we won't know until she finds a spouse." He tightened the tie and nodded at Bakura to indicate he was finished.
Bakura grunted and loosened his tie a little, hating how tight it was. He looked to Yugi's bunk bed and narrowed his eyes at the flowers, he looked back to Yugi to find him opening the door.
"You really aren't going to put them in a vase?"
"No." Yugi replied blankly before he exited the room and slammed the door shut. Bakura cringed, he really didn't seem happy to have received flowers from the prince. He walked past Joey, who was struggling with his tie as well, and grabbed the bouquet off of Yugi's bed. He placed them on top of Yugi's desk and walked to his and Joey's bed, kneeling down on the floor and reaching under it. He pulled out a clear white plastic pitcher.
"Hey!" Joey voiced. "That's mine!" Bakura rolled his eyes as he stood back up, walking to Joey's desk and reaching into a drawer, he pulled out a bottle of water.
"That's also mine!" Again, Bakura rolled his eyes, he felt the water bottle in his palm, he was surprised that it was still cool. He walked to Yugi's desk, placing the pitcher on top of it and opening the water bottle. He poured in the water, ignoring how Joey complained about using his stuff. He removed the roses from their wrapping and placed them in, rotating them around so there was an even amount of them surrounding the edges. He placed the pitcher at the corner of Yugi's desk with a smile.
"I didn't know where else I would have gotten a vase or water."
"It's called downstairs. In. The. Cafeteria!" Joey yelled at him, his hands curled at his fists. Bakura crossed his arms and shrugged at his loud friend.
"Come on," Bakura demanded, he walked to the door. "Yugi probably went downstairs to see if Anzu's at breakfast." He closed the door behind him, leaving Joey by himself. Joey looked at the door, his eyes narrowed.
"You guys are just going to leave me here?!"

Anzu sighed to herself, swirling her spoon around in the strawberry yogurt she had in front of her. Where were they? She wondered, taking a small bite of her food. She glanced to the side of her, where a bouquet of white roses laid, the thorns removed and the petals shimmering with water, they had been sprayed beforehand to last until she could get a vase for them.
Who could have sent them to her? She wondered, letting go of her spoon and taking hold of the bouquet. She played with the petals of one of the roses, thinking to herself. It couldn't have been one of the boys, Joey was gay, Bakura hated romance, and Yugi would be too shy. She thought for a second that it could have been Atemu, but cast that thought away, the prince was into Yugi, not her. So, who...
"Anzu!" A voice called. Anzu jumped, clenching the bouquet to her chest as if it could protect her. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw her three friends walking toward her, Yugi had a small smile on his face, Bakura looked grumpy and tired, like always, and Joey simply looked like Joey.
"Hey guys." She smiled at them as they took a seat at the table, each one of them had some sort of food in their hands. Yugi had an apple in his hands, Bakura had a piece of toast and a coffee, and Joey had a bowl of cereal with orange juice.
Yugi looked at the roses in Anzu's hands, his eyes widening, she had gotten flowers too? Bakura wondered the same thing.
"You got some too?" Bakura asked, gesturing with his toast toward the roses before he took a bite out of it. Anzu nodded, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "Yugi got some too." Joey said through a mouthful of cereal, Yugi narrowed his eyes at him.
"Don't talk with your mouth full."
"Okay, mom." Joey swallowed and smiled at Yugi, Yugi shook his head at him, directing his eyes back to Anzu.
"You did?" Anzu questioned, her eyes widening as well. Yugi nodded in response.
"From Atemu?"
"Who else would send them?" Bakura asked, his mouth full of toast. Yugi shot a glance at him, Bakura quickly swallowed.
"Then who could have-" Anzu stopped herself, her face growing brighter as she figured out the answer to her own question. Atemu was interested in Yugi, so he sent him flowers. Mana seemed to be interested in her, so...
"Anzu?" Yugi asked, swallowing before he talked. She looked to him, her face still bright.
"I-I think I know who sent mine." She whispered, placing her roses on the table and grabbing at her yogurt, staring down into the pink substance, as if trying to force her way into the cup with her eyes.
"And that would be?" Bakura spurred on, swallowing before he spoke. Yugi smiled approvingly at him. Bakura internally let out a sigh of relief. Anzu shifted her feet below the table, grabbing the spoon and stirring slowly.
"M-Mana..." Anzu told them. "The princess..." Joey choked on his food and Yugi's jaw dropped, Bakura just smirked.
"Well," He said, looking to the other boys. "That answers our question."
"What question?"
"The question to if all of the royals were gay." Anzu fidgeted in her seat, feeling uncomfortable at the moment. Atemu had sent Yugi flowers, Mana had sent her flowers, did that mean that they acted the same? Mana had kissed her hand like Atemu did to Yugi...Did that mean she would stalk her? Anzu feared for her own privacy.
"So everyone has one..." Yugi whispered, amazed by how his small group all had their own royal chasing after them. Joey was liked by Seto, Bakura was liked by Malik, Anzu was liked by Mana...He was liked by Atemu...Was he going to lose all of his friends to royalty?!
"Seems like it." Bakura said softly, smiling at Yugi. Joey narrowed his eyes.
"Nuh uh." Joey argued. "I don't have one." Bakura and Yugi turned to him, Anzu watched this, confused at what was going on and what they were talking about.
"Joey..."
"What?"
"Shut up." Bakura groaned, his eyes going to his coffee as he took a drink of it. Joey pouted and slumped in his seat, grabbing at his cereal and taking a bite out of it.
Yugi sighed, Mana sent flowers to Anzu, Atemu sent flowers to him...They were siblings, he wouldn't be surprised if they acted like each other. But Mana had been so nice and polite to him, not weird and creepy...Could it be that they acted like that around other people, but changed around the person they liked? That would be strange...
He looked to Anzu, remembering how he wanted to ask her what she was doing with Atemu, and being vaguely curious of how she came into contact with Mana.
"Hey Anzu-?"
"Attention students."
All faces in the cafeteria directed their heads up, staring up at the ceiling as bright white letters appeared on it, flashing by as they were voiced.
"Please report to the auditorium in ten minutes. I repeat. Please report-"
"What's this all about?" Bakura asked himself, his other friends thinking the exact same thing as the words kept repeating itself. Yugi glared up at the ceiling, annoyed about being interrupted, and yet already knowing what was happening.
It had something to do with the royals.
:Yay! Royals! And aw, Mana and Atemu sent flowers, how sweet! I wish that they would lay off a bit though, who knows what they'll do next...hehe...I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please review!:
