Chapter 21: Writing Company

"Come on Yugi! You'll be late if you don't hurry up and move your behind." Téa shouted towards Yugi, as she was downstairs in his living room. She was flipping through a magazine as she looked at models in disgust. She didn't understand why women would want to go on diets, when she believes people should love who they are. She then heard a faint voice tone that seemed similar to Yugi's, but in a way it was stronger and deeper. "He'll be down soon." The voice proclaimed. Her eyes darted towards the steps, and then she walked all the way over, and widened her dazzling eyes.

"Oh, Yami, I thought— you were at work." She said hesitantly and rubbing her arm. In a way, she didn't wish to speak to Yami only due to Yugi being around. It made her grow worried with this temporary uneasy feeling. She then heard Yami respond to her, but in a calm collected tone. "No I wasn't actually, I don't leave for another hour. It's prefect because I get to see Yugi off." He told her and walked down the steps. She step back before he manage to get all the way down the steps, as they looked at one another. This awkward tension, that filled the room was more than she could bear.

"Oh okay." Téa motioned, and then she went back looking into her magazine. Feeling a small presence she felt Yami get closer to her and her face turned red slightly. "Tèa, you do not have to be so enclosed, when around me. You and I are friends, nothing more. We both have people we love, there is no need for an arouse." He told her. Téa blinked for a few moments and saw that Yami was calm and collected about the entire ordeal. She must've assumed that he and Yugi didn't speak about those awkward encounters.

None the less, she then smiled in a way, and tried to be more calm like himself. "Your right, sorry." She told Yami nicely, and then soon heard footsteps upstairs that made her turn in that direction. Yugi quickly came down the steps with a bag that was small just for himself. He had paper and pencils inside of his bag, as he smiled happily about what was to come. He then realized that yami and Téa was downstairs by themselves and it made him somewhat uneasy about it. He assumed they just was speaking but for what purpose he wasn't sure.

He didn't want to be jealous, and he didn't wish to make this feel more weird than it already was. So he just decided not to speak on it and move on from it. "Alright Yami I'm leaving." He told his partner. Yami smiled happily, and then he kissed Yugi's cheek as Téa watched from the sidelines. "I shall not be here when you come back most likely depending on how long you shall be. I have—- plans I'm trying to do myself." Yami said vaguely. Yugi was curious to know these plans, but unfortunately didn't have the time to really ask Yami what he meant by that anyways.

He shrug it off and then waved to Yami as Téa did the same and the two walked out of the game shop together. Téa then walked over to her pink car that she had, and Yugi got in on the passenger side of the door as the two got into the car. She started it up and buckled up as Yugi did the same pulling out of the driveway, and heading down the road. Yugi was extremely nervous and also uneasy with the whole situation, he didn't wish to mess up his moments for when he was went into the industry. He was overwhelmed in a way, and also feeling mixed emotions as he sat there in her vehicle. Téa then looked over at Yugi and wanted to make sure he was okay because he was feeling some type of way.

"You okay Yugi?" She said stopping at a red light having her left blinker on trying to turn.

"Hm? Oh, yes I'm fine thank you."

"You seem like you have a lot on your mind, is all. So what's up?" She asked him trying to get him to speak to her more.

"Well, I guess I'm nervous about this whole thing, I don't want to ruin my chances and I don't want to feel I don't know, useless when I could be doing something. My entire life, I've been thinking about what I wish to do when in college. At first it was card games and becoming my own game shop, now I'm not so sure on that." He told her.
