puzzlemastersYugi was doing his best to keep up, but really Jonouchi and Honda had such long legs! It didn't help that they were excited on top of that, making them practically jog toward their destination - a relatively new . . . well, they had it pegged for a fitness center of some kind. None of the three really knew all that much about it. Though a name like "The Well-Toned Thigh" certainly brought any number of mental images to mind, most of which made Yugi blush.
It didn't help anything either that, in the back of his mind, his other self Yami was equal parts curious himself and sure that their friends were diving into yet another ill-conceived bit of trouble. Yami loved Jonouchi and Honda just as much as Yugi did . . . but they both also knew how . . . um . . . carnal? their friends could be. They could turn anything - even a trip to a health center - into something, um, more interesting.
They rounded a corner on the street and their destination came into view. Well, for better or worse, Yugi figured he was about to find out just what was in store...

Date: 2010-01-19 04:00 pm (UTC)Yugi startled a bit at Anzu's tone, but then gave her a big grin. "Good morning, Anzu. Thought I'd come get /you/ to walk to school for a change." He hesitated before asking how she was doing, wanting to gauge her a bit first.
Re: *home sick BLEH*
Date: 2010-01-19 05:49 pm (UTC)"That sounds just fine Yugi." Anzu said with a smile as she looked down into his eyes; they were so big and innocent, it seemed like they were taking her as far as possible away from that place she had no intention of naming. "So," She said as they began to walk, "What did you do after you got home yesterday?"
Re: *home sick BLEH*
Date: 2010-01-19 08:13 pm (UTC)Yugi shrugged. "Jonouchi had to get to his janitor job at the hospital, so Honda and I hung out playing video games? You?"
He winced as soon as the word came out. Nice going... Not like she probably wants to talk about it, you idiot. He was ready to apologize, but . . . held his tongue to see how Anzu reacted. He knew if he apologized when she didn't think he should have, she'd just thump him on the head or something.

Date: 2010-01-20 12:55 am (UTC)"Well Yugi," Anzu said with a sigh, "I did a lot of thinking. I thought about what I'm willing to put myself through, what I'm willing to do to fulfill my dream...and I thought about the offer you made; if you don't think it'll be too awkward or uncomfortable, I'd like to try working at the kame game store."

Date: 2010-01-24 11:58 pm (UTC)Awkward? Uncomfortable? Yugi wasn't quite sure what to think of that. Well . . . it might be for /him/, but he doubted she felt the same way he did, so it wouldn't be for, likely. Well . . . unless she thought he was going to be her boss or something. Right. "Well . . . we'd be coworkers, so I don't think it'd be awkward. Grandpa would be the boss - we'd still be on equal footing. Well," he added with a sheepish grin, joking, "except for the part where I have to stand on a stool to be seen over the sales counter and you wouldn't have to, but hey, besides that." He gave her a grin. "I think it'd be great! Well . . . it'll be kinda boring, actually, more often than not, but having company to pass the time with will help a lot, I think."

Date: 2010-01-25 12:08 am (UTC)Anzu smiled at Yuugi; honestly, he could be so hard to read at times, and not just because of his other self; one minute she could see in his eyes a passion that he didn't share with anyone else, and sometimes it seemed like all he wanted from her was her friendship. Not that that, as she was ready to tell anyone in need of a good pep speech, was a bad thing at all. Still..."I suppose you have a point there Yuugi; plus, it'll be nice to be able to talk like this more often. Lately it seems like we only really connect during some crisis." Anzu sighed, a certain sense of relief as the events of the past week receded further back into the past.
"Just so I know, is there any store policy I should be worried about? Dress codes or the like?"

Date: 2010-01-25 03:19 pm (UTC)'Lately it seems like we only really connect during some crisis.' Yugi's gaze dropped away for a moment. Right, like when some soul-crushing cardshark is after Other-Me, or a chauvinistic pig is making a sex-symbol display of one of your best friends and the girl you've had a crush on since, like, forever. Way to go, Yugi. Within their heart, he felt his other self frown at that, but Yami kept his opinions to himself for the moment. Just as well, probably. They could talk about it more later if he wanted, when Yugi's attention didn't need to be outward just then.
Yugi tilted his head at the question. "Um . . . not that I can think of." Nothing like the last place, that's for sure! Though Grandpa might make occasional comments. He decided none of that needed to be spoken aloud. "Grandpa's actually really easy to work for. Just be there when you've said you would be, and if he's asked that something be done like new merchandise stocked on the shelves, then it really should be done . . . but that's just the kinds of things to be expected. Otherwise, it's really lax."

Grandpa's making Yugi wear a character costume to help sell a new line or a new release of some game? Something ridiculous. OH! /Or/ it's a Dark Magician costume . . . only it's notably too big for him, and he's really WAY too short to pull it off anyway even if the costume /did/ fit....not to mention it brings up memories. Not necessarily /bad/ so much as the "WHAT I'LL SHOW YOU 'LITTLE' YUGI!" rant. XD;;;))

Date: 2010-02-04 12:52 am (UTC)Probably won't turn out to be nearly humiliating enough by comparison but . . . here we go!
