Prologue

"Hey, Yug'! You haven't signed mine yet." It seemed every student at Domino High wanted Yugi Mouto's signature. Everywhere he turned another book found its way in front of his face. He signed each book, writing a different note in all of them, and blushed in embarrassment never realizing his popularity around the school until now. Looking over his shoulder he gestured for his golden haired friend to come over to him.

"What's up, man?" To his surprise, Joey had been asked to sign quite a few books himself. Many from the females of his class that secretly watched him mature over the four years of high school.

"You still haven't signed my yearbook." Joey laughed at the adorable pout adorning Yugi's lips. At the age of eighteen he could still pull off the cute and innocent act.

He patiently waited for Tea to finish signing the top duelist's book before tapping his chin as he thought of a good message to write. Coming to a conclusion he wrote:

I look forward to seeing you over the summer and I hope ya know that my favorite food couldn't compare to a great friend like you. Joey

"Aw, Jo'. That's a lot coming from you." Joey found himself trapped between the arms of his friend, blushing as the students around began to snicker. The two duelists joined their other friends in exchanging autographs and taking pictures.

Out of the corner of his eyes Joey could see the bane of his anger, surprisingly, exchanging signature with some students, a majority of them being female. After assuring himself that his eyes couldn't get any wider he walked over to the brunet.

"I suppose you want an autograph as well?" His eyes could get wider.

"I…uh sure." He slid the book he happened to have in hand onto Kaiba's desk. He watched as Kaiba contemplated what he wanted to write. Joey just knew it would be a written insult about him being a mutt or second-rate duelist. Shockingly, that didn't happen. Instead Kaiba actually complemented him.

Because I know you have the will to be the best, even though you're a clumsy and so far a pathetic excuse for a duelist, I look forward to seeing you winning more duels in the future.

Kaiba

Okay, so maybe there was still an insult or two. "Thanks. I guess." Silence reined between them. "Um…ya want me ta sign yours?"

Through his smirk Kaiba replied, "It is only fair." He slid his yearbook in Joey's direction. What do you say to a guy like Kaiba…that hasn't been said before? He thought hard and came to a sudden notion. Everyone probably thought hard about what to write. I bet no one thought to put something simple like `See you in the future' or `Best wishes." That's it! I'll just write down something simple. And so he did.

Best wishes,

JOEY

He slid the book back to Kaiba and before he got a thanks he ran back to his friends. Kaiba looked down at the message written sloppily. Had anyone been paying close enough attention they would have noticed the slightly visible smile on Kaiba's face.

Please review and let me know if I should pair the now twenty-three year old Mokuba with anyone of the thirty-something group and/or add another side pairing.
