The Lost Queen

Friends Just Friends

Enjoy!

Yugi let out a shakey breathe as he saw Mizuki, Kurami and a guy walking up the sidewalks. All the friends gathered together for a day out. Kurami happily greeted Atem with a kiss on the lips before greeting everyone else. Mizuki greeted everyone and introduce her boyfriend as well but his attention went to Yugi.

"Hi the name's Conner"

The guy said shaking Yugi's hand. Yugi smiled kindly at the guy and shook his hand in return.

"Yugi"

"Wow, the King of Game himself in the flesh. I mean I'm a big fan of your reputation it's inspiring no matter how much the odds are against you, you manage to reach to the top"

Conner said with praise to Yugi who scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

"It's nothing really, I just try my best like everyone else"

"Ha yeah right, you give it your all"

He said happily causing Yugi to feel a little awkward as he looked to Mizuki before looking away.

"Right"

Yugi said quietly before looking towards his friends.

"So where are we headed?"

He asked to his friends.

"We can go to the zoo"

Atem suggested.

"Why? Are you going to leave us to pay for our own ticket"

Tea said with a sneer crossing her arms over her chest. Atem rolled his eyes.

"Your fault, not mine"

He said plainly as he wrap his arm around Kurami's waist.

"Wait, what's up with the two of you?"

Joey asked looking to Atem and Tea sensing a slight drama.

"He didn't pay for my meal so I had to wash dishes!"

Tea yelled angrily.

"You've gotten the most expensive item on the menu, it was a five star restaurant and you tagged yourself along on our date as a third wheel"

Atem said sternly causing Joey and Tristan to shake their head in disbelief while Kurami smile in amusement.

"Oh Tea"

Tristan said in face-palm.

"Tea, Atem and Kurami need time together, you can't just bring yourself in between them"

Joey reasoned.

"Can't say I'm surprise, I knew it was coming eventually"

Mizuki said quietly to Conner but Yugi heard her loud and clear and sadly put his head down in shame.

"Are we really gonna start this now?"

Joey asked to Tea angrily.

"We came out here to have fun together and that's what we are gonna do. So that bad vibe you got going on, has to go. Capish"

He said sternly causing Tea to pout. Joey then look to everyone else.

"Alright now that that's done, let the fun begin"

He stated proudly. As everyone began to head to the zoo, Joey walked up closer to Kurami and whisper.

"Listen I'm sorry about Téa's behavior"

"You don't need to apologize on her behalf Joey"

She whispered back.

"Yeah I know but if she bothers you again don't hesitate to tell me. I know sometimes she can be a hard case but she's a nice person on the inside..."
