"And this is the lunchroom! That just about covers it! Unless you count the dungeons we call detention. And the nurses office. And the music rooms. But other then that, and a few other small things, that's all!"

The Egyptian nodded, a small smirk of certainty on his face. He looked... He looked, kind of like a little kid who had successfully stolen from the cookie jar.

"You have a music room!? Take me there!!! I DEMAND you take me! Yugi will be there! He loves music!"

Heba knew. As soon as he said music room, he knew. They both loved music. It was the one thing that connected them to their family when it had fallen apart. It was an aweful feeling to know what had hapened, but he refused too share his secret. He told no one. Not the cops. Not the teachers. Not his friends. Not gramps. He told no one his closely guarded secret.

Not even Yugi. Especially Yugi.

If he had his way, he would die with this secret. He would bury it deep within, where there was no light shining.

"So... Are you just going to stare into space with a cold look or can I take you to the music room?"

Heba blinked once.

Twice.

Three times.

"..... Huh? Oh. Oh! Yeah! I'd really appreciate that. Sorry, deep thoughts and... stuff."

"Thoughts like what? You looked like you wanted to murder."

"Honestly? Yeah. Did you know it takes approximately thirty-seven times of an alarm clock being bashed against a hard surface for it to break? Those things are fucking expensive!"

Heba cracked a cheeky grin.
He knew wouldn't spill for anything.
