A/N: I've been extremely sick this past week and a half – actually missed several days of work because of it. Please forgive me, but this is the reason Carry On is not ready to be updated yet. I couldn't think let alone write! However, I was able to do this short little piece, which is part of an exchange between me and Hime no Ichigo, and also the culmination of an idea I have for drabbles. I belong to A.Word.A.Day email, and thought it would be fun to pick random words and write drabbles for them on occasion. Each one will be 600 words or less which is, I believe we all know, incredibly short for me. I hope you enjoy them when they do emerge. Also, each entry will be a separate story, independent of the previous posts.

Enjoy!

You've decided to attend college in Japan, not in the States, to be near your friend.

You take a seat outside the arts building, folding your legs on the grass, pulling your skirt over your knees, leaning back on your hand so you can easily watch the people who traverse the walkway. Your blue eyes widen in joy when you see him.

"Yuugi!"

He turns his head, searching for your voice before spotting you and waving, pausing to let a woman pass before stepping onto the grass and making his way to you. Once at your side he drops to the ground with no amount of grace and sprawls on his back.

"Lazy bum," you jest, smacking his thigh and laughing at his protesting groan.

"This campus is huge!" he says, swinging his arm in a circle before letting it drop back to the ground. "I'll never have to workout again. All I'll need to do is walk from my car to class and back. I'll be fit in a month."

You grin knowingly; Yuugi will take any excuse not to join you on your jogs around the track. Considering you're also surprised at the size of the grounds you decide to allow him a day free of the invitation and settle for a haughty smirk. You'll get him to exercise if it's the last thing you do. Your life's goal determined, you settle back to enjoy the moment. Perfectly happy with only Yuugi at your side, you aren't ashamed at the displeasure you feel when you hear the grass rustle as someone walks towards you.

Preparing to swallow the sarcasm riding your tongue in favor of offering a polite greeting – meeting new people is part of the college experience, after all – you're unable to stop the frown that forms on your lips when you notice that the newcomer's attention is focused wholly on Yuugi. Yuugi hasn't acknowledged the man, but he does so when a foot nudges his head with feigned impatience.

Lazy eyes open; brows furrow and lips pout attentively as Yuugi studies the foreign man standing above him, the man providing a closed-lip smile as his only explanation for the interruption. You can feel the confidence radiating off the Egyptian and it makes you hesitate to inject your salutation. Instead of him, you find yourself addressing your friend.

"Do you know him?" you ask Yuugi quietly, unnerved that you find yourself unable to remove your eyes from the, yes, the handsome stranger.

Yuugi shakes his head: "No." But you can see the amusement dancing in his eyes, the smirk pulling on his lips, and sadness instantly grips your heart as you feel the distance unfurl between you and your friend, for you know him, you know Yuugi and you know that look and you know how engrossed he becomes whenever he's interested in someone, but never in you, no, not in you, for reasons you've never been able to discern.

"Your name?" the stranger asks, purrs as he leans down, not far, but enough, enough to make Yuugi's eyes widen and you notice a hitch in his breath and you want to cry.

"Wiki," Yuugi breathes, grinning like a fool. "I like that."

"Hn," the stranger hums, nodding his head in what you can only interpret as agreement. You watch as he pulls himself straight and walks away. You watch as he doesn't wait for Yuugi, you watch as he doesn't have to, you watch as Yuugi forgets you and jumps to his feet and chases after his stranger.

University in New York sounds more appealing now.

A/N: To clarify, the POV is Anzu's. And Yuugi isn't saying that his name is 'wiki,' but is commenting on how quickly Atemu is making an advance on him and that he really likes the forwardness. Atemu, in turn, is satisfied with Yuugi's returned interest. You can assume the fun the two will have. smiles
