Bakura paused. It would be best if he left and let the curse do its work on Yugi, but the nagging pain in his gut was growing and those snack cakes looked so good. "Well, maybe just for a bit..." The white-haired boy leaned forward to grab a treat but the edge of his jacket brushed against Yugi's deck, sending it to the floor. Bakura's heart stopped when he saw The Swell Of Mass lying face-up on the ground. He panicked and quickly bent down to grab the cards before Yugi saw the newest addition to his deck.
As Bakura leaned down, a loud rip came from his jeans. Yugi brought his hands up to his face, struggling not to burst out laughing. Cheeks now blazing red, Bakura tossed to reassembled deck onto the table. He reached around towards his rear and felt not denim but cotton. Twisting around, Baruka saw the five inch rip in the back of his pants. His tight baby blue briefs were exposed.
"I...uh, this is...umm," Bakura sputtered.
This only forced the laughs out of Yugi and drove the white-haired boy's cheeks to turn an even deeper shade of crimson. "It's...it's not funny!" he yelled, trying not to lose his temper.
Yugi wiped a tear from his eye. "Sorry, but that was hilarious!"
"It was not!" retorted Bakura who was not having much luck bringing the spilt ends of his jeans together and cover up his exposed rear. "Do...do you have anything...that..."
"Yeah, yeah," Yugi said with a sigh as he headed back upstairs. "I'll see if I have anything!"
Bakura glared. "Laugh it up, Yugi. It'll only be a matter of time before you're exploding out of your own pants..."
After a brief search in his closet, Yugi pulled out a pair of black cotton shorts with an elastic waistband. He stretched the waistband to it's maximum. "Think these will fit Bakura?" he asked Yami.
"That wasn't very nice of you, Yugi," he replied.
"What? It was funny! And his underwear was blue!" Yugi said as he started to chuckle again.
"You're not looking too skinny yourself, Yugi. What if it had been you instead? Would you have liked it if Bakura of laughing at you instead?"
Yugi sighed. "You're right, you're right. But you saw how big he's gotten, right?"
"I saw, Yugi."
"What do you think happened to him?"
"The same thing that happened to you, perhaps."
Yugi blushed and sucked in his gut a little. "I should do something nice for him. Let him know he's still my friend even if his butt is to-"
"Yugi," Yami cut in.
"Sorry, sorry," Yugi apologized. "Any ideas?"
"Well, certainly nothing too caloric..." mused Yami. "Perhaps a rare card you don't use anymore? Or maybe offer to go to the mall with him and, er, size up his wardrobe?"
