Chapter 12 - Trust

"Ready? And... Go!" Téa shouted.

Today, Téa was going to be teaching Yugi a few tricks on how to improve his confidence. Turns out he needed it more than ever.

"H-Hey, Atem! Um... I..."

"You have to say it with more passion!" Téa growled.

"Oh! Yes! U-Uh... Hey, Atem! I love you." Yugi bared his teeth, grinning. He practiced that one forever in the mirror.

"...Wow! That was actually pretty good that time. Nice one, Yugi!" Téa stood up, raising her eyebrows and applauding.

"The fact it took that long to get it right..." Yugi sighed, blushing.

"I guess hard work pays off, huh?" Téa winked.

"Sure."

"Alrighty! Next Lesson! Imagine this: Both you and Atem are dating. One day at school, Atem is spotted with a girl. The difference is, they're kissing. What is your first reaction?"

"W-Well, I guess I dunno... Ask him late-"

"WRONG ANSWER!!"

"Oh m-man! Um... Come up to them?"

"Getting there..."

"And uh- Break the kiss?" Yugi shrugged.

"Uh-huh...?" Téa motioned her hands.

"Um... Tell off the girl...?"

"And who else?"

"Atem?"

"Bingo!"

"But what if it was like a misunderstanding or something?" Yugi choked.

"Oh, boo-hoo. You should just feel your best in the moment, right?" Téa laughed.

"I-I guess...?"

"That's the spirit! I think we're done with our lesson today. But first, how about we try Lesson One today?" Téa smirked.

"A-Already?!" Yugi blushed.

"Yeah! What else are these lessons for? C'mon! Go put a cute outfit on!" Téa giggled.

"Hmph!" Yugi marched towards his outfit that Téa picked and headed for the washroom in her cabin.

Minutes later, Yugi came out dressed in a black collar shirt with his sleeves rolled up, blue shorts, black boots, and gold chains.

"Ooh~ Look at you! Talk about a glow up!" Téa squealed, clapping her hands.

"Really? This makes me look like a total pimp, Téa!" Yugi blushed.

"No! Of course not! You look great! Let's just go see what Atem is doing right now." Téa giggled.

"...!! Fine!! I'll come!" Yugi's cheeks puffed.

"Ahaha! Let's go!" She laughed as she dragged Yugi out the door.

Once again, Atem had been spotted at the beach playing volleyball. It's always been his favourite ever since he was little. The hot sun beaming across your face, warm sand sinking between your toes, and cool water that refreshes your mind. Suddenly, Yugi and Téa came running in. With Téa dragging Yugi by his hand, of course.
