Yugi scowled in frustration. This was a large college, surely they had enough money to create somewhat helpful maps. Oh no, instead they put out these useless campus guides that didn’t bother to have a you-are-here star. He was able to find his dorm building on the map quite easily, but the whole thing was ineffective if he didn’t even know where he was in relation to it…
Sighing, he looked around in the hopes that someone might help, but all around him his fellow freshmen were absorbed in unpacking and moving their own boxes and the current students were all too busy to pay any attention to first-years.
“Look out!”
The shout came only a second before someone suddenly crashed into him, knocking him to the ground. Stunned, he found himself in a jumble of limbs, and it took a few confusing moments before he was upright, and found himself looking at a young man sitting beside him, an upside-down skateboard not far away. Across the lawn, a few people cheered for the excellent crash.
The stranger shook his head, looked over, and immediately scrambled to his feet, reaching out. “I’m so sorry…are you alright?”
“I…I think so.” Yugi allowed him to pull him upright. His shoulder stung and he unconsciously raised his hand to it.
“I didn’t see you in time to stop,” the young man continued, his expression concerned. “There were all these people blocking you- oh no, you’re hurt.” He had spotted what was stinging; Yugi had scraped the back of his arm and shoulder on the concrete. “I’ll get some first aid…the medic building is…no actually it’s too far away…oh, I know, the campus store sells bandages, it’s close by.” He paced, rambling nervously with an accent Yugi couldn’t quite place. “I’m so sorry, I really am, if I hadn’t been going so fast I probably could have stopped, or at least not knocked you down so hard…”
“You don’t have to do that,” Yugi interjected, feeling sort of bad at seeing the stranger look so upset with himself. “I’m on my way to my dorm anyway, I’ll clean it up there. It’s okay, don’t worry.”
“Well…if you say so…but really, let me make up for my rudeness somehow. You’re a freshman, right? Getting run into isn’t a very good way to begin college.”
“Yeah…” Yugi trailed off. “Actually, you can help me. I’m trying to find my dorm building and this map is useless.”
He peered over at the map. “Which building are you looking for?”
“Building six.” Yugi pointed.
“Ah, that’s easy, I’m in building seven. Follow this sidewalk, it’ll lead you right to the dorms and then just look for the one with the big number six.”
“That simple?” Yugi brightened. It looked as if he might actually be moved in before sundown after all. “Thanks…uh…”
“Atemu.” He held out his hand, bowing his head as he did. Yugi smiled, shaking it and bowing back.
“I’m Yugi.”
“Yugi…” He smiled when he said it, causing an interesting warmth in Yugi’s chest. “I would say it was nice to meet you, but you might disagree.”
Yugi laughed. “No, I agree. It was nice to meet you too. I’d just prefer that next time, it won’t be at twenty-five kilometers an hour.”
“I’d prefer that, too.” He picked up his skateboard, setting it upright and resting one foot on it. He hesitated, lingering. “Well…if you’re positive that you’re okay, I’ll get going and let you get moved in. I’ll see you around campus, I hope?”
“Yeah,” Yugi nodded, waving as Atemu pushed his other foot against the ground and took off. He watched until he had rounded a corner, then picked up his bags. He found himself smiling.
I hope.

Notes: Okay. Time to come clean. I…have kind of a thing for Yami as a skater boy. *ducks head* I can’t help it. D= He’d be so adorable in the black shirts and cargo pants and little gloves. x3
I’m halfway through the challenge! Man, I never thought I’d make it to theme 050. I hope you’ve been enjoying the fics! Please do stick around for the next fifty if you’d like. I’ll do my best to make them worth it!
