Chapter 1:
Yugi's POV
I am currently in the game shop that my Grandpa runs, helping put things away since his old age doesn't allow him to do that much anymore. Grandpa was at the front by the register, if anyone actually came in and bought something. I sighed while I put the last few packs up on the shelf then turned and bent down for the now empty cardboard box. Upon my return to the front with the box, the door chimed as someone entered the little shop. I wore my regular outfit that consisted of a black tank top, dark blur leather pants, studded black boots, a studded black belt, wrist cuffs, my famous black choker and finally to top it off the golden upside pyramid that hung like a necklace around my neck.
"Hey Yug'!!" My friend Joey was the one who entered, with a big bright smile on his face as he walked towards the front. He was wearing regular blue jeans, a light green shirt and his white sneakers for the day.
"Hey Joey, why are you here?" I asked curiously. 'I don't remember us planning anything', I question in my head.
"Just comin' to see my old pal since it's been awhile, do I really need a reason?" Joey chuckled and ruffled my hair a bit. I huffed but also had a smile on my face as he soon stopped. I set the empty box down by my feet and quickly fixed my hair while Joey laughed at my attempt to tame it.
"I was just wondering if we had plans that I forgot," I said with a shrug. We talked for a bit since no one seemed to be coming anytime soon and at some point we decided to talk about Duel Monsters. After a few minutes of us discussing the game, I heard the door chimed again and I looked up from the counter behind the register. My Grandpa was taking a break because of his aching back.
When I looked up I was met with the most confident crimson eyes that stared right back at my big amethyst ones. I noticed that his skin was deep tan and toned muscles, more than me but not massive thankfully. Upon further inspection, he had a similar hairstyle to mine. The differences being that he had less blonde bangs in his face while some blonde strands were going back into his star shaped spiky hair which had crimson tips instead of violet like mine was. He wore a black tank top with leather black pants and black buckled boots. His accessories were similar to mine as well, like the black choker and the wrist cuffs. He wore golden hoop earrings whereas I had no earrings on. The one thing that really struck me as weird was the necklace he wore, it was an upside down pyramid that hung around his neck with a thick rope and was very much like mine own that hung around my neck with a silver chain.
I was so lost in thought that I hadn't noticed that he was already in front of me and talking. "yone in there??", he asked as I took notice that he was talking. Oh right, customer, talk, now. "What? Sorry about that, what did you say?", I ask with a slight blush on my cheeks from embarrassment. He gave a small chuckle and I felt my cheeks heat up. "i was asking is you were alive in there, thankfully you responded".
I noticed his eyes flickered down and they widen slightly before looking back at me. I tilted my head a bit to the side with silent curiosity. He smiled and gave me a soft? look, I think that's what you call 'soft'.
"I see that we share many similar things. May I ask for your name, little one?", he asked. My blush returned with a vengeance and I subconsciously clutched the chain around my neck.
"Y-Yugi" I stuttered out while my hand tightened around the chain slightly. 'Ahh, that never happens, what the heck Yugi get a grip!!'
The tan man chuckled and held out a hand, "I'm Yami, nice to meet you Yugi."
After we shook hands I realized that Joey was still here and he was being way too quiet for a loudmouth (sorry Joey, it's kinda true). I glance over to my left where Joey should be and see that he's staring a bit behind this guy, Yami, I just admired. I moved my head slightly to look behind Yami and saw someone else was with him.
He also had tan skin and wore mostly leather as well. He was taller than Joey, his hair was brown and short with bangs. He had bright piercing blue eyes and had a piercing in his left ear that was silver. His clothing were similar to Yami's but his black shirt was long sleeved and he wore a long silver coat over it that had no sleeves. On the coat were a few studs of light blue, nearly white, on the shoulders and no buttons as it showed his chest in the tight shirt he wore. His pants were leather like Yami's and similar boots but they were and without the buckles. There were, however, buckles on either of his forearms that were wound tight and pointed up. He had a gray belt on that was holding something golden on his side but his jacket blocked most of it from view.
'Well...I can't blame him now, dude's hot'
I turn back to Yami after my brief curiosity and nudge Joey's arm with mine quickly as I give Yami a nervous smile. Hoping that I knocked him out of his trance, I continue to speak to the man in front of me.
"What can I do for you today?", I asked politely with a smile as I looked into his crimson eyes.
"Uh...the game Duel Monsters, do you have anything for it here?", he asks as he looks to the side a bit. I heard the guy behind him scoff a little but he didn't say anything. My eyes soften as I turn my gaze from the brown haired guy back to Yami.
"We do, it's actually my favorite game and I just restocked it", I tell him with a big smile and blush a bit as he turns back to me with a smile of his own. I walk out from behind the counter and motion for him to follow me. Seems the other two decided to stay there and wait. Walking down a small aisle a few feet away, I stop in front of the shelf I was at earlier and motion with a hand to it.
"This is it, we have booster packs, some standard decks, game mats, and even card sleeves. So feel free to take your time if you see something you like", I say turning towards him while smiling. He chuckled a bit at that last part and smirked.
"Well then, I might be here for quite awhile", he says. I noticed a playful glint in his eyes as he looked me up and down real quick. After I notice this, a bright blush covers my cheeks and I look to the side away from him. I hear him chuckling a bit and glance back at him from the corner of my eye. He has a hand over his mouth and one moving to his stomach while I notice a faint red on his cheeks. My face heats up some more at the sight of him laughing.
'Ahh, so cute'
"A-anyways, I'll let you pick. I'll be at the desk when you're done", I say as I quickly walk past him. His laughter dies down and I feel a tug at my wrist. It wasn't tight but it was enough to make me stop in my tracks.
"Will you... help me pick something?", he asks gently as I turn towards him. He drops his hand quickly from around my wrist and looks down a bit avoiding my gaze as his hands clutch at his pants slightly. "Sure", I smile. He looks back at me with a big smile and we walk to the shelf. We bend down a bit to look at the different packs and whatnot together.
