Cry out

The Crazy Ex

It had been a month and a half since the night that Yugi, Yami, and Atemu had had their first date, and things had been good and quiet for them all.  

John hadn't made any kind of appearance, much to everyone's happiness.

Seto had done what Yugi wanted and made sure that his men watched over Solomon while they were all in school, just in case John decided to do something to Solomon while they were all in school.

However, no one had seen hide or hair of John, so they were all rather happy.

"So, what should we do after school?" Joey asked. He leaned against Seth under the tree in the schoolyard.

"Some of us actually choose to do our homework when we get home, Joey. We don't procrastinate and have to do it in a rush fifteen minutes before its due." Tea said.

"And not all of us are dating two geniuses." Bakura added.

"Hey!" Joey said.

"We don't help him." Seto said.

"Only when it comes to studying for a test, and he's panicking over failing." Seth said.

The group laughed while Joey glared at them all.

"Anyway, we can't do anything. We promised Grandpa that we would come straight home and watch the shop for him." Atemu said.

"He didn't waste any time putting you back to work, Yugi." Duke said.

Yugi was sitting in Atemu's lap with Yami leaning back against him. It wasn't an unusual sight to see the three lounging together like that.

"It's not that, Duke. An old colleague of Grandpa's is going to be in town today, and Grandpa's planning to see him this afternoon. He'll eat dinner with him before coming home. We just need to watch the Game Shop for him to do it." Yugi said.

"Besides, it's not that big of a deal." Yami added.

"Of course not. You three get to do it together." Mariku said, smirking.

Yami looked over at Mariku, glaring. "It's not like we do anything, Mariku. Not all of us would try to get our lovers to have sex with them in public." Yami said.

"It's not like people don't know." Mariku said.

Tristan made a noise of disgust. "Honestly, Mariku! People don't want to see that!" Tristan said.

"We don't want to see that." Akefia said.

"Please, Akefia. You are just as bad Mariku is, so don't you even try to say anything." Ryou said.

Akefia just shrugged.

The bell soon rang for the next class to start.

"Come on." Yami said.

The group got up and headed inside.

After school let out of the day, Yugi, Yami, and Atemu all headed straight home to the Game Shop like they had promised Solomon they would do.

Solomon turned and smiled at the three. "Hello, boys. I see that you made it right on time today." Solomon said.

"We promised you that we would come right home after school, and we did, Grandpa." Yugi replied.

"Yes, you did." Solomon agreed.

"So, what all needs to be done in the Game Shop?" Atemu asked.

"Well, the shelves need stock, I just got in some new inventory, so someone will need to take inventory, and someone will need to manage the register." Solomon answered.
