Yuugi was sitting upside down on his couch, as the news report was happening. He was pouting a little and in that moment, felt a blood rush to his head.

He narrowed down his locked gaze, seeing that the lady was speaking about clear skies. It would seem, that no more rain would be happening his week.

Yuugi was relived by that announcement, as he rotated his neck and eyes darting at the clock. It now being only 5pm, he sighed.

He remembered what he had pro-founded towards Honō. He said he'd join him for that late night outing. However, he wasn't so sure anymore, because he felt it wouldn't work.

Yuugi slowly rotated around and decided to sit up instead. Once he did, he grabbed the remote from the coffee table.

Sliding it from the table into his hand, he pressed the remote button. Clicking throughout each channel realizing there wasn't anything interesting on.

' How boring... ' Yuugi contemplated in his mind, glancing out the window. Calming skies and now nothing to do, this is why he wanted a job.

It at least kept him preoccupied and not worried about other matters. Now, that he didn't have that burden, he focused on the old ones.

The thoughts of not having anything to do, and trying to comprehend what he should create. He was really into music, so Yuugi slowly gotten up.

Walking away from the couch he headed into his room and went into the closet. Pulling out a silk white case, that held his instrument. He loved playing it, and reached inside to grab it.

It was a black guitar his grandpa gave him before he had past away last summer. He was really a wonderful player, and usually played for Yuugi.

Yuugi smiled and those fast paste memories came rushing in. He gripped the handle of the guitar firmly as his orbs went with a squint.

He tried to fight those tears, as he could see the bright lights, and hearing the echoes of screams. Hearing the distance of the doctors, rushing his grandpa into the hospital and ER.

How it hurt Yuugi so, and for that he wanted to continue to play. Playing made him feel at ease and even though he wasn't as merely as talented as his grandpa. He played because, he knew he could eventually become better.

He softly parted his lips, with a deep smile, as he gently blushed. Then taking his fingers and tuning the guitar as he used his right hand to string it.

It was completely out of tune at first, but he managed to rearrange it some more. Finally, once he did that Yuugi played a soft tune.

It wasn't a song but it was mostly just him playing a simple beat. Although, playing this was mostly reminding him of how lonely it really was in here.

' I should've went with Honō... ' he pondered, sighing in his own membrane. He quietly stopped, as his fingers hit the soft strings.

Once he finished he placed his guilty back into its case and closed it up. Too many bad memories just by holding it in his lap were unfolding.

He didn't want to keep crying. He felt he had enough of that already. So many things happening to him and yet, for what purpose.

Yuugi got up and left the case on the ground as he climb into his bed. Yuugi slid underneath his covers and pulled his head closer to the pillow.

He decided he'd take a nap and pass the time, considering Honō wouldn't be home for awhile. His eyes slowly started to drift off, as he fell asleep rather quickly.

" Pst, Pat, — Yuugi? Yuugi! wake up you moron. " a familiar voice calling out to him, as Yuugi eyes slowly opened. The crust between his eyes, as he started to wipe them, peeling his orbs towards Honō.

He was sitting on the edge of Yuugi's bed as he looked to see Honō already dressed. He was wearing a nice button down black shirt with some nice dark jeans.

Yuugi looked around and turned his head towards his table. Seeing the clock it now being 8:14pm.

Yuugi looked back at Honō and crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. " what happened to 7pm.. ? " Yuugi claimed to Honō. Honō gradually got from the bed, and made a snuffled tone.

He folded his arms back towards Yuugi and replied. " please it's not like your behind would've been up anyways. " he stated.

Yuugi uncrossed his arms and sighed, looking down. " Besides why are you sleeping, it's nowhere near your bed time. " Honō added further.

Yuugi gripped his blankets hearing that question, and felt himself biting on his lip. Honō saw him doing this and relaxed his tone and gesture.

He sat down once more and slowly touched Yuugi's hand. " Hey, it's gonna be alright. Okay? " he was explained gently. Yuugi looked up at him, after looking at the soft hand gesture.

" You're gonna get through this, let's just try and have fun tonight. " he told him smirking. Yuugi smiled as well leaving dimples in his cheeks.

He felt Honō remove himself from the area as he told Yuugi he should get dressed. Yuugi then nodded at Honō, as he left the room.

After hearing the door close, he removed the covers and stretched. He was going to brush his teeth, grabbing his tooth brush and paste.

He walked towards the closet,, not entirely sure of what he should wear. He grabbed some clothes and went into his bathroom.

Closing the door softly, he went to clean up, as Honō went into the living room. He grabbed the remote and turned off the tv.

He knew Yuugi was down and in his mind this was his way of trying to lift his spirits. For awhile now, in fact Honō was planning something for Yuugi.

He was designing an actual date for Yuugi, it was anonymous, and practically a blind date. Honō however saw this individual but didn't know his name.

Nevertheless, Honō believed that was irrelevant at the time, and he just needed ti kindle with his friend. They both agreed tonight was a good night, seeing as how they were going out.

Honō has arranged that the club would be a perfect setting. When he felt his plan was in motion, he took out his phone making confirmation.

The text came back, as the person said to Honō he was arriving there now. Honō texted back, we're on our way, as he looked back at Yuugi's room.

" Hurry up, will you! " Honō shouted to Yuugi. Yuugi was somewhat muffled thanks to the door between them.

" Yeah, yeah, just hurry up. " Honō said not fully listening to what Yuugi said. A few minutes later, Yuugi came from his bedroom.

" okay! I'm here. " Yuugi exclaimed as he was wearing a casual attire. Nothing more, nothing less than a purple dark button down shirt with some light purple long sleeves.

He also had on light blue jeans, as Yuugi was wearing his purple dark strap shoes. Honō placing his hand against his chin, nodded. " Looking decent there Yug. My man. " he said smirking.

Yuugi blushed softly, and rub the back of his hair, as he was somewhat flustered. " well, ha, ya know, I thought I'd , ah-! " being grabbed by Honō mid-sentence.

" No time! We gotta get going. I have a surprise for you, at the club so let's go we're already late. " he told Yuugi in a rush. He grabbed his keys, along with Yuugi and went towards the door.

Yuugi went by the closet door towards the front door and grabbed his keys as well. Being pulled by Honō went out of the apartment and locking it up.

They both walked down the steps and headed towards Honō's car. He then pressed his car keys, and the two got inside.

Closing the door he turned his engine on, as he rolled down the windows. Backing up, he then started to drive off, heading towards the club's direction.
