Beyond Destiny. (Puzzleshipping)

What Is Going On?

"Wow, this place is great!" Yugi smiled, admiring the place. His amethyst eyes danced around the room in amazement.

"It is indeed. It was so nice of your grandpa to help buy you this place. How did you get him on board with the idea anyway?" Yami asked, wrapping his arms around the small one from behind.

Yugi placed his hands over Yami's and smiled awkwardly. "Oh, I erm. I had to tell him that I wanted to start bringing girls home and that he would be cramping my style. I'm so sorry, please don't be offended." He turned to the pharaoh, with a dishearted look in his eyes.

"I'm not at all. I understand completely."

A tonal ringing then echoed through the room. Yugi escaped from Yami's embrace and paced over towards his phone.

"Joey?" Yugi questioned softly.

"Hey Yug, your grandpa was just telling us that you moved out! I mean when did you decide to do this? I bet it's because of your new girl huh... But when were you going to tell your best pal about this? Anyway, you can explain when I get there. Me, Tristan and Téa are on our way!" And with that Joey hung up.

"Oh my god, my friends are coming. Yami I'm so sorry but you have to hide!" The little one panicked, rushing back over to Yami and taking his hands roughly.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be fine Aibou." The taller boy kissed Yugi on the forehead and then rushed off in the direction of the bedroom.

Yugi ran a hand through his tri-coloured hair and sighed. If his friends found out about Yami, it would not only cause dispute but may also ruin the chance of the pharaoh being allowed to stay in this world. He couldn't lose him again. The only option was to keep Yami a secret. The boy was then snapped from his thoughts when the doorbell rang.

"Ra save me." Yugi cursed, opening the door to see his three best friends.

"Wow Yug, this place is awesome!" Joey announced, running inside and heading straight for the TV. Tristan followed and Téa stepped in peacefully.

"It's good to see you Yugi. The place is beautiful. But what made you decide this all of a sudden?" Her gaze drifted.

"Yeah Yug, what's the deal?" Tristan asked, flopped on the sofa next to Joey.

"Well, it was just getting crowded at the game shop, plus I have a girlfriend now and I thought it would be more efficient having my own place." Yugi spoke up gently.

"That's sweet." Téa smiled.

"Yeah, yeah, enough with the mushy stuff. It's movie and snacks time." Joey cried.

"I'm sorry Joey but erm. I have company, arriving soon." Yugi stuck his arm behind his head awkwardly.

"Your new lady friend coming over?" Tristan wiggled his eyebrows. Joey jumped up from behind Tristan's shoulders and mimicked the same action.

"Erm yeah. Yeah. She is." Yugi blushed wildly.

"Oh well, we better go guys. Yugi needs his privacy." Téa announced.

"Okay but we at least gotta get a tour of this place. Let's see that bedroom of yours." Joey said, springing towards the bedroom.

"Joey wait!" Yugi cried. This could not be happening.

Joey sprung open the door before Yugi could protest. He walked inside and gasped.

"Yugi..." He trailed off

Yugi face palmed himself.

"...you have a flat screen in your room?!" Joey cried with jealousy.

"What?" Yugi stepped into the room. The pharaoh was nowhere to be seen. "Erm yeah. Yeah. Grandpa got me it as a birthday present." He spat out, thinking on his feet.

"Wow, you and me are going to be living in this room pal. I promise you that." The blonde grabbed the small boy, putting him into a headlock and ruffling his already crazed hair.

"Joey, let's leave him be. His girl will be over soon." Tristan stated.

"Right." Said Joey, putting down the shorter teen. And with that, they left, waving their goodbyes and closing the door behind them but not without a few cheeky comments of course.

Yugi sprinted back into the bed room, shooting his gaze everywhere for Yami.

"Yami, they are gone." He raised his voice slightly.

All of a sudden the closet door opened and out stepped Yami. "That was a close one." He smiled, brushing down his jeans.

Yugi sighed with relief. "Yeah it was. Come on let's go and relax for the rest of the day." The smaller boy smiled, taking the pharaoh's hand. Yami gave a confirming grin and allowed Yugi to pull him into the other room. A few feet from the sofa Yugi let their hands unlock and he laid himself down on the sofa seductively. Yami smirked.

"Cheeky aren't you little one?"

"I try my best." Yugi laughed.

The pharaoh's grin widened. He crawled his way up to the younger boy's face and was about to kiss his cheek. But Yugi grasped the pharaoh's chin and moved his lips towards his own. The pair soon realised the human need for air and parted. As Yami hovered over the smaller male, Yugi could feel the warm breath on his neck. A surge of passion circulated his blood stream and he dived back onto the other's lips. Now it was Yami's turn to be naughty. His swept his tongue across the younger's bottom lip. Yugi gasped in surprise, which the pharaoh then took as a chance to insert his tongue into the other's mouth.

*********

It had almost been a week since the pair moved in. Everything was perfect. Yami and Yugi couldn't have asked for more. Their friends however were still ignorant to the fact the pharaoh was back. They just assumed Yugi was still seeing his mystery girl.

BAM.

The door flew open to reveal a bashful Joey. He snickered lightly, having forgot his jacket on purpose to get the first peek at Yugi's new girl. He stepped through the apartment but couldn't find the smaller teen anywhere. He thought of going into the bedroom but Ra knows what the pair could be getting up to in there. Curiosity however clouded his rational mind and he made his way to the door. Grasping the handle firmly, he inched the door open. His mouth almost dropped to the floor when he saw the almost identical pair, kissing passionately on the bed.

"Yugi..." He said shocked, his eyes widening.

Both boys snapped their heads around to the door. Yami was hovered above the other, but he soon rolled off and sat on the bed, his petrified partner beside him.

"Joey I can explain." Yugi stuttered.

"I think you should."

******************

"So pharaoh, you returned and didn't come to see your friends?" Joey asked slightly hurt, as he paced back and forward in front of the sofa.

"I wanted to Joey but one of my conditions was that no body but Yugi knew I had returned." He sighed.

"I see. But now you two are... Ya know."

Yugi just gave a slight nod, taking Yami's hand and grasping it tightly.

"Well congrats guys! I mean, it's not every day you get to witness something like this, but you're my best friends, I would never judge you!"

The pharaoh smiled gratefully. "Thank you Joey."

"Hey, no problem! It's just great to see you again." The blonde chuckled, finally sitting on the sofa opposite the other two.
