Okay just some weird idea that popped into my head while in Barnes and Noble... I think it turned out okay.

I'd like to give credit to Holly for being my Beta for this. She said I should make it into a full story. I mighnt. Just keep in mind that will probably take awhile because I have other things I need to work on.

DISCLAIMER: How many friendship speeches are there in the show? Yeah. I can't write those. If Yu-Gi-Oh belonged to anyone I knew it wouldn't be me it'd be Holly who can write them. Alas last I checked she does not own Yu-Gi-Oh either. Which sucks, I could've bribed her into giving it to me. Whatever, read and review!


"I am not!"

Jou rolled his eyes at me and my frustration grew. He just didn't believe me no matter how many times I denied it. "Seriously Yug. You're small, cute, don't appear to be interested in girls, and had a weird fascination with leather. Just admit it, you're gay."

"I am not! seriously Jou, how many times do I have to tell you?! I am not, and never will be, gay!" I avoided the whole girl issue, just because I didn't happen to like any of the girls in our school didn't mean anything, and it certainly didn't make me gay! Anyways, I didn't like any of the boys either.

Jou just rolled his eyes again. I swear he's going to get dizzy soon. Actually when you think about it that way it almost makes me want him to roll his eyes more, he deserves a headache at least half as bad as the one he's giving me. "Whatever. Deny it all you want but someday you'll meet some guy in a coffee shop and all your denial will go out the window."

I gave up, throwing my arms up in the air and walking away. I made a mental note to myself to avoid coffee shops. I didn't think it would be that hard.

XxXx

I swung my arms happily as I entered the bookshop. It was absolutely freezing outside and I welcomed the warmth. I absolutely adored this shop. It was full of books and even had a little coffee shop-like cafe in the center.I decided to grab a few books and order some hot cocoa, there was no reason to hurry home. I skipped off happily to dig through the shelves before I paused, realizing the flaws in my plans. I was completely sworn off coffee shops. Not that I needed to avoid them to prove Jou wrong... I growled slightly in frustration, deciding to honor the pact I made with myself and go straight home after I got a few books.

I walked over to a random bookshelf and started looking. I didn't have anything particular I was looking for but I had all day to look so that didn't worry me.

Though I was getting slightly frustrated when an hour had passed and I only had three books. As much as I loved it, I just wasn't good at picking out books. I just couldn't tell anything from the summaries. Would I like it? Hate it? It was downright impossible to tell!

I sighed, pulling another book from the shelf and barely reading the summary before just sticking it on top of the other three. I was getting too frustrated to really care all that much anymore. I headed for the counter, giving one last regretful look to the coffee shop as I paid for my books. Shaking my head slightly I took the bag the cashier handed me and walked over to the door. I pushed it open and felt the cold air hit me. I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the unpleasant walk home. When I stepped out of the doorway I groaned as I felt something wet hit me. I looked up, it was snowing. Small soft snowflakes were drifting down from the sky. Perfect, just perfect. It wasn't suppose to be cold enough to snow! It wasn't THIS bad when I left the game shop so I didn't bother to grab my coat. I'd figured it wasn't worth it. This sucked, it completely sucked. I glanced behind me at the store that was welcoming me to come back in and follow through with my original plan. I hesitated, remembering my promise. I didn't like to lie...

Oh this is ridiculous! It's just a small shop in the book store! It wasn't even a real coffee shop for Ra's sake! And it was a silly promise anyways. Going into a coffee shop wasn't going to suddenly make me gay! There was no reason not to go inside and warm up. I almost laughed at how ridiculous I was being.

The decision made I turned abrubtly and hurried into the store, sighing in content as soon as I got out of the cold air. I was finally warm again and the prospect of an even warmer cup of hot chocolate while reading made me almost start to skip. Almost. I wasn't in THAT good a mood. That only happened when I was hanging out with my friends. I think it weirded them out the first few times, but they're used to it now. So ALMOST skipping I went up to the counter -there was no line as it was the afternoon and most people were at work, the joy of weekends- and ordered. I waited patiently until I got it and then went to sit at one of the many open tables. Plopping down on the chair I grabbed a random book from my bag and settled down.

I had barely started the second chapter when it happened. Someone spoke to me.

"Hello."

I glanced around in confusion, noticing that, while the shop had gotten more crowded while I was distracted, there were still plenty of open tables. I turned my attention to the boy standing in front of me. "H-hi." I could barely get the words out. He looked around my age and weirdly similar to me, he had the same hair and everything. Only his features were sharper and he had startling crimson eyes, it was his eyes that got me. Catching and holding my attention. I felt heat rise to my face as our eyes locked. I shook my head slightly, breaking the eye contact. What was wrong with me?

A slightly awkward silence followed. Finally he broke it. "Ermm... Hi..." The rest came out in a rush. "I'm sorry. I just noticed that you had the same hair as I do and I just came over to say hi 'cause I didn't think anyone had the same hair I do. My friends all make fun of me for it." The last statement was said with a slight air of annoyance and I had to laugh, my friends all made fun of my hair too. It could get quite annoying.

I noticed that he was still standing awkwardly in front of the small table. "You can sit down it you want. I don't mind." I emphasized my point by closing my book and sticking it under the table. Failing to notice until after I did so that I hadn't put a bookmark in it. oh well, I wasn't that far anyway.

Now that the initial shook was gone I actually felt comfortable around him. He just gave off the air of a nice person.

He gave me a small smile and sat down across from me. "Alright."

I'm glad he stayed.

Jou always said we'd meet in a coffee shop. And now I'd met him.

"I'm Yuugi."

Not that that means anything.

His smile only got bigger. "Atemu."

It's not like I... love him...or anything...

After all, I'm not gay.


A/N Please review! This started as a oneshot but Holly said to make it a full story. What, dear reader, do you think? Please tell me which of the following I should do:

1. leave it as is.

2. Write a second oneshot from Yami's POV. (I already have an idea for this)

3. Do as Holly says and make it a story. (Don't really have any ideas at the moment but that's okay. I could probably do it if people want me to)

Please tell me what you think. Even if that's all you do in your review I don't mind. I myself never know what to write in reviews...
