New beginnings

Note: As per usual, listen to the songssss. Please and thank you:) (y/ln) = your last name

You hastily rushed down the sidewalks of domino city. Today was your interview with your first official job, yet you woke up late. The night before was spent organizing documents and getting things together for your online college courses. You didn't like the idea of being crammed into a room with people, even if it meant for an hour or two. Since there were many ways to finish up college, you decided online would be best.

Your black heels made it hard for you to keep running, but at last, you made it.

You briefly glanced at the giant building before you. It had been your dream to work at Muto corporations. Not because the CEO and the Vice President were heartthrobs, but because you held a passion for games. Today you would get the job, no matter what.

You signed in through the front office, handing the receptionist your paperwork before being directed upstairs. The security guards led you into a small waiting room. You sat down, tapping your foot as your anxiety continued to spike. After 10 minutes of waiting you decide to talk with the security guard,

"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, will Mr. Yugi be interviewing me today?"

You couldn't help but feel curious. Last time you came, you handed in your application. A few days later, you were called back by the Vice President's assistant. Your grades and everything else from the past were so exceptional, he wanted to move you up from just being an intern. Then just like that, the assistant scheduled an interview with Yugi Muto for you. The man leaned down to your level before smiling softly,

"Mr. Yugi is not available today. Mr. Yami Muto will be interviewing you"

You thanked him quickly before zoning out. Is he serious?! You're being interviewed by the CEO now?! Now you felt even more afraid. You took a deep breath, letting out all your negative thoughts, before switching into a positive mindset. You had to be optimistic.

A woman with blond hair and amethyst eyes walked into the room,

"Are you (y/n) (y/ln)?"

You smiled at the woman before standing,

"Yes"

"Please follow me"

You couldn't help but feel as if you had seen her somewhere. She was Mai Valentine! In a world where duel monsters were incredibly popular, you knew all the well-known duelists. Alongside of her, Yami and Yugi were very well known for their duels. Two years ago, after graduating, they toned down on their dueling as they had a company to run. You slipped out of your thoughts once you spotted two big brown doors. Mai sat down, pressing some buttons on the desk that was located beside the double doors,

"Mr. Muto, your three pm is here"

A baritone voice rang through the small speaker on the desk,

"Let them in"

Mai gave you a small smile before returning to her work. It felt strange to know she was Yami's secretary as she had been friends with him (judging by news reports). You allowed your hand rest on the door handle, before slowly pushing it down. There, before your very own eyes, sat Yami Muto. He looked up from the paperwork on his desk, charmingly smiling at you,

"Hello. You must be (y/n) (y/ln)?"

You smiled confidently before walking over,

"Yes"

You felt a bit intimidated by his sharp gaze. His amethyst eyes held amusement as you fidgeted, not knowing what to do,

"I am Yami Muto. It is a pleasure to meet you. Please feel free to sit"

You sat down not wanting to upset him. Yami turned back to look at his paperwork before stacking the papers neatly into a folder. He pulled out a paper from his drawer before placing a pen on top of it,

"I am sorry Yugi could not conduct the interview today, but from what I have heard, you are very fit for my company. You excelled in many fields. After looking over your files, I decided to offer you the job"

He took the paper handing it to you along with the pen. As you took both, your hands slid against each other. You couldn't help but feel something from the contact. Something in you spiked. You took the paper reading it over before signing it. You were ready to be his secretary. This position was the best you could get. You still had much to learn. You slid both back to him. Silence took over the room as Yami turned to type on his computer. From this distraction, you glanced around, realizing an Egyptian artifact sat on his desk. The shape of the artifact was a pyramid, with the eye of Horus in the center. You began to speculate why he would have it. After eyeing the pyramid, You shyly took the time to admire him. The black dress shirt that covered his torso left his slender muscles on display. The sleeves were rolled up showing off his arms and hands. His spiked hair looked soft to the touch. The colors of red and purple blended softly, while the black stood out. His blond strands slid over his eyelashes, revealing their beautiful length. Before he could catch your staring, your eyes darted to the side. You blushed in embarrassment at how you almost failed to be discreet. Yami chuckled before looking at you,

"I shall see you tomorrow (y/n). Have a great day"

You stood to shake hands with the said male,

"Thank you, Mr. Muto. Have a great day as well"

Before you could fully turn around, he spoke up,

"Please, Call me Yami"

All this interaction with him made you feel as if you've met him before,

"Will do sir"

You turned and walked off smiling like an idiot. You finally got a job where you always wanted to work. On your way out of the building, your shoulders slumped a bit. Rubbing your temples in irritation, you realized you needed to go to work at the small bar around the area. Well, at least you had two jobs now.

overview: So this story takes place in an imaginary timeline I created. Pretty much Atem and Yugi are born in a period where both of them get to exist together as brothers. They found the millennium pieces but they do not play a major role here. The pieces are only mentioned just to show the readers that Yami and Yugi know about their previous lives.
