When Love Is Told

"Tell me Yugi, what's on your mind?"

"Oh it's nothing, Yami.

They were lying on Yugi's bed, while Yami was trying to figure out what was wrong with his hikari. He had been acting strange all week; running out of class crying, to not going to school at all. Yami couldn't get him to be himself.

"Yugi, I know that something is wrong. I can sense it. You been acting very strangely and I know that it's not nothing. Does this by chance have to do with your friends?"

Yugi sat up. Yami had touched a tender part of his heart. "What do you mean Yami? Why would this have to do with my friends'? They are the same as always."

"If you say so Yugi…" I just really wish that I knew what was wrong with him. "I was thinking the other day about my past. I remember when I was a boy just about your age. There was a very pretty girl in the palace and I knew her quite well. We had grown to love each other."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Well I was thinking, that maybe you are in love with someone because your feelings are so out of place and touchy."

"If that was true, than whom would I be in love with? I don't know very many girls and the only one that I know very well is Tea (Anzu). She's my best friend, not my lover. Jeez Yami, you are really out of touch when it comes to knowing what is going through me."

"Yugi, sometimes love can develop without even knowing it. I noticed that even Tea has been acting a bit strange lately." He does like her; I can see it in his eyes.

Yami actually figured it out. Oh well, I still can't tell him. "Why are you staring at my eyes? They aren't that interesting are they?"

His eyes are so expressive. I can't believe that I never noticed them before. I'm a terrible Yami.

"Yami… Yami? Yami! Listen to me! I asked you a question. I asked you why you were staring at my eyes."

"What? Oh I'm sorry Yugi. I was just thinking that's all."

"Alright Yami if you say so."
