Yami stayed silent for a moment and then pursed his lips, glancing at Bakura and Malik. "So, Bakura, what do you call a drug dictionary?"

The silver-haired teen paused for a moment and then grinned widely. "An addictionary?"

"I was going to say 'high definition,' actually," he muttered, blinking wide eyes before narrowing his gaze. "Your challenge has been accepted."

"Challenge? Bakura already made a challenge?" Mana whined, hurrying to take the seat across from Yami. "And I missed it?"

"Yep, you did," the brown-eyed teen snickered, smirking. "Anyways, now we need one for you and Malik and...the rest of them."

"We have to do a group one anyways so we can annoy Yugi," Joey said, snickering in amusement. "Anything to drive him mad is an A+."

"Well you guys need to hurry because here he comes," Tristan commented, raising a brow.

Yami shot a look over his shoulder and then turned to his cousins. "You know, math puns are supposed to be the first sine of madness," he announced loudly, Yugi glancing at him and narrowing his eyes as he took a seat.

"Not to go on a tangent but how do people evenfunction without puns?" Bakura drawled.

"I guess there are just sum people who don't like them," Malik said, smirking widely.

"We should divide and conquer those people before they multiply," the silver-haired teen announced, smirking at Yugi as the smaller boy blinked. Yami shot him a dirty look and Bakura immediately turned away again, snickering.

"Just have to get to the root of their problems and square them away," Malik commented with a snicker.

"I doubt that will make a difference," Yami snorted, glancing away from Yugi immediately when he got a furious scowl.

"Then do we force them to integrate? Or do we just let their population exponentially decay to zero?" Bakura wondered, stroking his chin.

"Their numbers may be infinite but our control over them has its limits," Malik said softly, shaking his head. "We shan't do a thing."

"You know, I can't find any good science jokes because the good ones argon," the brown-eyed teen commented suddenly, glancing at Yami with a clearly puzzled expression after losing all ideas of how to continue the math puns.

"So just take all these awful science jokes and barium."

"We could just respond to this with another clever chemistry pun but there would be no reaction."

Bakura shot him a grin. "Not bad. I think we might have to keep an ion you."

"Nah," he returned dismissively, giving him a playfully flattered look. "I think it'll be okay if you just check up on me periodically."

"I can only do that after 6 pm though. The nitrates are much more affordable than the day rates," Malik commented.

"Glad to see you found a suitable solution. If they lower the rates, I bet they'd attract more customers like you," Yami stated, nodding.

"Well, I'm not positive about that. They have a bad reputation of stealing electrons," Bakura said with a shrug.

"I hope we don't stretch out our puns for too long or they could become a Bohr."

"No kidding. After a while they just get saturated with cobalt, radon, and yttrium and everything gets really corny then."

Malik and Bakura both spun on their red-eyed cousin with wide eyes, blinking and swapping looks for a moment.

"Wow...That comment really had a lot of substance to it," Bakura muttered, frowning slightly as Yami grinned like the Cheshire cat.

"And this is why I am the king," he announced, smirking and winking before getting up and wandering off to the line for food. He returned a few minutes later with a bowl of chili, taking a seat next to his boyfriend again and pushing the tray slightly closer to him. "Someone as hot as you-"

"No, no, stop with the puns," Yugi growled, covering his mouth. "We are done with the puns. Stop that."

"You know what, Yugi?" Yami drawled, pulling his hand away and covering it with both of his when the smaller boy glared at him. "Puns got me a good grade one time."

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, okay, Yami."

"There was a question on one of my history exams one time where it was something like 'How was Stalin buying time from Hitler to prevent him from attacking the Soviet Union?' and I wrote 'He was Stallin'."

"Oh my god. You did not," he muttered, eyes wide.

"True shit, Yugi. True shit. Halfway through grading them the next day my teacher started laughing real quietly and then she had to leave the classroom for five minutes," Yami continued, smirking widely and purring. "She marked it ascorrect."

Yugi shook his head, about to argue, and then stared at him for a moment. "...Oh my god. You're fucking serious," he breathed.

"I am." He paused. "Now! As I was saying, little one. Someone as hot as you must never get chili."

"I hate you."

"He's coming on strong already," Joey snickered. "Normally it takes a few more shots to get him to say the H word."

Yugi pointed at him. "You be silent. We'll only have problems when I start saying I loathe him."

"Very comforting," Yami commented playfully.

"Oh, so I forgot to tell that you that I have to go home today," Yugi said, pointing his eraser at him. "I have to help Grandpa run the shop after school so I'll call you later, okay?"

"Um...sure...You don't want me to help?"

"Make a pun about a game and I will kill you," the smaller warned with a dead serious look.

"Yeah...better I don't go with you."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Yami held his hands up, laughing and going about messing with his chili before handing it over to Joey when he started drooling. Several hours later he was giving Yugi a goodbye kiss and the smaller boy was running with his coffee yelling into his phone that he was on his way. Yami walked home alone since Bakura and Malik were taking Mana to her dance lessons.

"Shit!" Yami laughed into the phone at ten when the smaller boy finally answered the phone after five previous attempts to get hold of him.

"What? What happened?" Yugi asked, sipping his coffee and spinning his pencil around in his fingers. He would have been alarmed if it wasn't for his laughter, instead looking at his study guide and frowning slightly. X couldn't equal that...

The red-eyed boy shut the door and started laughing harder. "My dad hates me during February. So, he just threw a loaf of raisin bread at me to get me out of the kitchen." Yugi burst out laughing and stopped immediately when Yami added, "He says he hasn't been raisin me well."

"No, you stop that," he snapped.

"Oh yes, this is going to be fun," Yami announced, laughing. "This will be amazing."
