It was a bold move, daring, even, to venture out into the daylight like that, but sometimes a man needed a fix, and he needed it bad.

He kept his head down, posture unassuming, making a shadow of his normally looming presence. He'd learned a long time ago how to lay low, and when.

A stop at the door. A furtive glance over his shades. All around him a sea of strangers, no one watching, no one following. Secure in this, he slipped past the doors, and into the

DOMINO CITY CAT CAFE

Where, for ¥1200 (additional charges not included), you could spend the hour with the only company that mattered: cats. And a helluva lot to choose from at that.

Keith paid his dues, picking up a few treats for the cats and for himself (a latte, with the foam art and everything), and took an empty seat over near a back corner. A few cats snoozed nearby, a couple others wandered towards him, mewing curiously. With uncharacteristic gentleness, he held out a hand, let them sniff and bump their heads, and with the other undid his bandana to dangle teasingly in front of them, coaxing out their playful instincts, oblivious to the rest of the cafe around him.

Yuugi draws his knees up to his chest, hugging them as he stares at the floor. Noticeably less cluttered with toys an games as it was before. Some are still broken. How could he possibly talk about it, knowing what will need to happen soon?

A few moments pass before he finds his voice again.

"It was about before, in America. About how I screwed up."

[Text]: LMAO now I kind of want to see what it's doing though.

He picks up his tea in one hand and texted with the other.

[Text]: Unfortunately, it's unavailable. Normal or easy, pick your poison, King.

Last night made him happy. Really, really, really happy! He couldn't believe he'd actually been able to enjoy his family's company after so long!

Deep down, he was worried and afraid what would break this joy. But that was a problem for future Sora.

He waltzed into the game shop, still wearing his sunglasses and hood up. Though it was mostly so that the cashier would recognize him as the same person- since it was such a great disguise. He had a spring to his step, and cheer shining through his face. "Hi!" He greeted with a wave.

Despite the absolute peril and despair it had caused him, Seto had become almost obsessed with getting back at Yugi for what he had done to him. He felt a deep longing within him to experience such an exhilarating game once again. That was how games were meant to be after all were they not?

Seto was waiting. His golden eyes peering across the street as he simply waited for Yugi to arrive as he knew he would. Then it would be his time to strike at long last.

@nevertem asked: "Why do you have that look on your face?"

The question came the moment he pulled the mobile phone away from his ear. A barely noticeable furrow of his brows was elicited in response. Seto didn't reckon he had any 'look' on his face besides his commonplace stoic one. Not that he had it for a practice to take a mirror to his face and analyze the range of his physical expressions when taking a prosaic call from one of his subordinates.

He started, then caught himself, fixing the other with a weird stare. Did he.... know this guy? He seemed familiar, somehow, though Keith was pretty sure he'd never seen him before in his life.

"Ye-yeah." He cleared his throat, and put back on his stern face. "Yeah. Can you move? You're in my way."

With a nod, he gestured towards the Kame Game shelves behind Atem, one of the less flashier ones with puzzle books instead of games, drumming his fingers on the bicep of one of his folded arms as he waited impatiently.

When the teacher turned back to the board again, Yuugi took the chance to glance up again from his notes and was rewarded with the sight that followed.

Their friend leapt out of his chair, slapping the eraser to the floor with a comical yelp.

"All right who the hell threw that?!"

Stifled snickers sounded from around the room, but were then silenced as the teacher whirled on them, a stern lecture already on his lips as he glared at Jonouchi for disrupting the lecture.

Immediately, Yuugi felt guilty, and stood up.

"U-um! It's not Jonouchi-kun's fault," He stuttered out, "I saw the eraser fly through the air."

No way could he let his friend take the fall for a seemingly harmless joke.

A foreigner in Japan was an uncommon sight indeed, and definitely would get more than a few stares. But truthfully, Sora had been living in America and traveling around so much that it didn't even register to him this guy was "foreign"- he just saw him as some dude behind the counter doing his job.

But as he got halfway down the aisle and got a good look at him, the guy- Sora thought- the guy was actually really... really really truly... superbly-!

Cool.

Sora stared, stunned at the unexpected sight before him. That drip, that hair, those threads- it had been so long since Sora had seen someone truly, coolly awesome like that. He couldn't help but be amazed! 'I bet the girls are nuts for him!' He thought. 'If I was half as cool as him, I would definitely get a girlfriend!'

...Wait... 'cool'?

He had to put his hand on a shelf to steady himself, wide eyes to the floor as his thoughts caught up to him. How could he even think something like that? The guy was short like Sora! Surely he had difficulty dating too! And yet when Sora looked at him, there hadn't been a doubt in his mind that he was all that and more.

All his life Sora had been insecure in his image. He was short, skinny (well, he wasn't skinny anymore, but details) and not nearly as strong as Riku! It was no wonder girls always turned him down!

And yet, as he looked upon this stranger, he wondered if maybe, just maybe, his problem wasn't actually in how he "looked". Maybe these traits he once thought of as obstacles had merely been hurdles- challenges to force himself to rise to the occasion, and make himself truly awesome!

It was like everything he knew had just been turned upside down.

He sighed dramatically, and continued his search down the aisle, doing everything he could to avoid looking at the front, and having to face this cool guy head on. He couldn't remember the last time he felt so ashamed. He was unworthy to even meet his eyes.

But alas, Sora could not avoid the truth forever. So about 20 minutes later of strolling through the shelves, he finally plucked up his courage, and stepped to the front.

"Hey. I know you don't know me, and this may sound strange, but... I just wanted to thank you." He brought up a smile. "Seeing you find the strength to carry on, to hold your head up high despite everything- it really inspired me to take a good, hard look at myself. You reminded me that no matter what life throws at us, we always have to do whatever it takes to do the best we can. I really owe you for that." He bowed at his shoulders. "Thank you."

And so, heaviness from his heart lifted, Sora turned on his heel and left the store, inspired and enthused from this life changing interaction. He vowed that from now on, he would let nothing stop him in his goals, and even if things seemed impossible, he would always find a way to overcome!

It would be about 6 hours later when he realized he hadn't introduced himself, didn't even ask for the dude's name, and completely forgot to actually buy something.

And that he was going to have to go back tomorrow and actually face him.

Blows kiss so he doesn't miss out

He pretends to catch the kiss and...

promptly throws it on the ground with a small scowl.

"Because you looked so bitable, obviously~"

"Stay with me then.." he tugs the other closer.
