Rating: K
Genre: Humor
Full Summary: On an abnormally-hot day in Domino, Yami finds out the hard way that some challenges are better left unaccepted...
Yami was in the sitting room of the Kamé Game Shop's conjoined living space, where he, Yuugi, and Yuugi's grandfather, Sugoroku Mutou, lived. The sun was blazing in the skies above Domino City, Japan, and the weather was hot and stuffy. The former spirit gave a loud sigh, fidgeting with the Duel Monsters cards in his hand. He couldn't concentrate!
Ugh, this is horrible! he thought, How in seven Hells did I ever survive the heat of Egypt?!
He glared spitefully out the window, giving another heavy sigh. Sun, why are you so hot? Can't... focus... Yami wiped sweat from his brow, and fingered the edges if his shorts, begging that night come soon, as it was always much cooler.
Well, he smirked, Not always...
Something cold and moist pressed against the back of his bare neck.
"Holy Osiris!" the former pharaoh practically yelped, flinching away from the sudden sensation that sent chills down his spine, "That's cold!" Rubbing his neck, Yami turned and looked up to see his smiling aibou, with two cans in his hands.
"Here, Mou Hitori no Boku," he said, holding the soda can closer with an amused but kind grin, "This'll help."
Yami looked at the sweet beverage, then back at his lover. "Sorry, Aibou, but I only drink milk," he replied matter-of-factly, still sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Yuugi frowned, confused. "Why?"
"Because I'm so short!" the once-pharaoh cried out with exasperation, throwing his arms up dramatically. Yuugi could practically see a little anime-heart break in half by his Darkness' head. "Only 159 centimeters...!"
The smaller's bottom lip stuck out a little in a half-pout. "But if you drink milk in this hot weather, you'll feel a little sick..." he murmured softly.
Yami stood up. "Ha!" he puffed, making Yuugi giggle at his drama-queen act, "Weather? I will not be felled by the weather!" he grinned, giving his little one a small wink. "In fact, I challenge the Sun to a Duel! I shall drink all the milk I want!"
Yuugi sweat-dropped. This wasn't going to end well...
... and about fifteen minutes and a gallon of milk later, the Hikari's prediction came true. So, there he was, sitting on the couch, with the upper body of his beloved Yami in his lap.
His Darkness had his chest rested comfortably within the Light's crossed legs, arms hugging his waist gently. His sharp face was contorted with discomfort, a small red flush of fever covering Yami's defined cheekbones. His eyes were glazed and unfocused.
"Aibou... I... I think I'm dying..." he whimpered, rather pathetically.
Yuugi sighed, feeling bad for his boyfriend, but knowing he deserved it for not heeding his warning. "You'll live," he murmured, stroking slender fingers through the pained former spirit's thick ebony hair. Yami groaned, closing his eyes tight, and nuzzled his face into the crooked elbow of Yuugi's free arm.
Yuugi rolled his eyes, frowning and still petting his Yami's head.
A 'little' sick? I think the Sun won that Duel...
Poor Yami! He's got a bad tummy ache! XD
Just a little something to get the creative juices goin', and break a writer's block :P
