Ocean Avenue
Summary: A teen attends his first year at college; however, his plans never included falling for anyone other than his love for art history. What happens when someone pushes into his life, wishing to know more about him, even possibly love him?
Pairing: Eventual YY/Y.
Warnings: Shounen ai/ Yaoi, Alternate Universe, depression, cursing, perverted Joey, sarcasm on Yuugi’s part.
Note: This story is definitely Alternate Universe. It takes place on an island I have visited in the past in California. However, the name “Ocean Avenue” is not an actual name of a university; I made it up for my own liking. (Ocean Avenue is from the song by Yellow Card)
Disclaimer: Last time I checked Yu-Gi-Oh! Belongs to Kazuki Takahashi. If I owned it, the series would have been quite different. I also don't own "Ocean Avenue" by Yellow Card.
Chapter: 1/12
Chapter 1
The scene was simple in any oceanic postcard; the wind blew freely, smelling strongly of the ocean. Crystalline water sparkled in the high rising sun, adding a sense of peace to the breathtaking scenery.
Amongst the water, there sat a boardwalk, one that held the heart of the attraction of this beach. Small shops lined the arena, selling rare oddities, as well as the famous game card game of Duel Monsters.
However, this was not the main reason of the beaches large population. It was that of the local university. The one that had offered everything he wanted. Yes everything that a young aspiring teen like Yuugi Mutou would ever want.
This was exactly what led the said teen to this exact location. He wanted to achieve his dreams of studying art history.
A small teen stood on the boardwalk, arms draped lazily around the metal railing. His eyes were half-open, gazing out into the vast oceanic scene that sat before him. A soft smile graced his lips, adding a calm nature to his child like face.
This boy was Yuugi Mutou, one of the newest freshmen to the university. At the young age of eighteen, he was ready to prove his skills to the world. This is what drew him to the University Of Ocean Avenue.
Sighing softly, Yuugi opened his eyes, revealing deep amethysts, accentuated by a pair of square-rimmed glasses perched upon his pert nose. His hair was another oddity of his appearance. The color was that of red, black, and blonde, gelled down messily.
Yuugi yawned slightly, turning from his post at the railing, turning his eyes upon the large clock that sat on the old fish market’s tower.
The hour of noon had struck, causing him to curse under his breath.
“Dammit, I was supposed to be back ten minutes ago.”
With a defeated sigh, he slung his black backpack over his shoulder, holding onto the straps tightly.
“I swear that my luck matches that of hell today,” he murmured, running through the crowds of loitering university students.

“The warmth, the air, the breeze… Ah what a fine day it is.”
“Mmm.”
“What are you thinking about? I swear you are neva this quiet, Yams.”
A teen with red eyes sighed heavily, stirring his tea with a straw.
“I’m not sure. I’m just lonely I guess,” he replied, turning his attention over to the drink once more.
His friend studied his actions, quirking a brow in curiosity. While pulling a hand through his blonde mess of hair, he said, “Yams are you wanting me to set ya up again? I mean I can get ya a girl lookin for a good time.”
Yami ignored his friend’s question simply stirring his cold tea with the spoon. He felt oddly alone.
“No thanks, Joe. I think I will be able to handle this myself.”
Pushing his bangs to the side, he blinked surprised at his friend. “You sure Yams? Cause I mean Mai is all up to helping ya find dat special someone. I mean come on she has gotta be da best lookin chick on campus.”
“There is more than outer beauty Joey, which is what I am looking for, not someone who wears a lot of makeup and has large breasts.”
Joey snorted at the statement, holding his sides in defense as he laughed softly.
“Man Yams, you were voted most dateable guy last year, you could have anyone you want, even Mai. But you are just gonna be difficult aren’t ya?”
Yami ignored his friend again, silently staring out the window of the local coffee shop. His eyes danced across the bodies of the people outside, none catching his interest. He truly wanted to find someone this year, and one that held a challenge to win. After all, love and relationships were all a game.
However, his moment of silence ended as he was smacked on the back, causing Yami to jump.
“Gah! What the hell?” He craned his head to the side looking at the smirk his friend had on his face.
“Yams, Mai just passed by. I’m gonna go and get this situation fixed up. See ya back at da dorm in a few.”
“Wait, Joe…”
His halt never made it to the offending party as Joey sprinted out the front door, chasing after the said woman.
In defeat, Yami slumped down in his chair, sipping at his half-melted iced tea. However, his eyes narrowed in annoyance as he spied the bill for their drinks on the table.
“Damn Joey. Will he ever pay for the drinks once in his life?”
He shook his head as he placed a few bills on the table, taking a final swig of his tea before departing. He needed to head back to the dorm.
“Hopefully our new addition this semester will be more interesting than that Tristan guy we had last year.”
- - - - - - - - - - -
“D, damn, damn, dammit!”
Passersby observed the user of the profanity, eyes widening at the small boy’s less than graceful walking skills.
Stumbling across the pavement, Yuugi tripped over a crack in the cement, falling face first onto the ground.
A yelp of pain escaped his mouth at the impact, thus causing his faulted drop to become public notice.
Grumbling to himself, Yuugi sat up, rubbing his now red and inflamed cheek.
“Crap, I’m so going to feel that in the morning.”
His attention had been completely on the pain that ebbed at his cheek, unknowing of the hand that had been extended in his view.
After a moment of silence, the person who had extended their hand cleared their throat, catching the youth’s attention.
“Hey kid, you all right?”
Yuugi blinked his amethyst eyes, looking up at the form of a shaggy blonde.
The blonde’s eyes were that of a honey color, ones that reflected mischief and rebellion.
“Yes, I’m fine, thank you.”
Joey nodded silently, pulling Yuugi to his feet, blinking in surprise by the smaller boy’s squeak.
“Ya sure you’re okay there, kid?”
Annoyance ebbed at Yuugi’s mind as he rubbed his sore cheek. “Yes, I’m fine, thank you for the help.”
With that statement set into place, Yuugi pulled his backpack off the ground, throwing it over his shoulder, sprinting off on his way.
Confused, Joey ran a hand through his hair, staring at Yuugi’s departing form.
“What a strange kid, hope I neva run into him again.” He then turned around, heading in the direction that Yuugi had took off into, walking down the street as he approached the university.
“Well at least I can talk to Mai for a sec over Yam’s situation.”
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He had been around the streets for over an hour, finding himself in another situation.
He was lost.
Yuugi frowned, staring at a road sign that stood at the side of the street. A small pout began to form on his face as he read the name of the street.
“Ocean Avenue. This is where I’m supposed to be, but where is the university?”
Frustration had hit his last nerve earlier when the blonde had helped him to his feet. He hated conversing with others, especially rebels like that blonde.
‘Maybe I should ask someone where I’m at. Or should I call my sister?’
The teen’s confusion continued to rise as he finally gave up, collapsing onto the sidewalk in defeat.
“I’m so freaking lost, I should have let sis take me to campus as she had planned on doing.”
He sat there alone, staring down at the cement that surrounded him. A shadow appeared to stand before him, darkening the area around his body.
Curiously, Yuugi looked up, meeting a pair of vibrant crimson eyes.
“Are you lost?”
Yuugi made no response to respond to the man, as all he did was stare into those hypnotic eyes, feeling his strong nature melt at their mere presence.
“Y, Yes, I’m lost.”
