Well, I'm back again with another story. I honestly have no idea where this one is going to go. It started off as a oneshot, until midway though when I decided this story has potential, not to mention there are too many oneshots with this theme. And since Second Chance was such a bust, I figured why no go for something better. So here I am, sitting at home with a tummy ache, writing about two lovers in a field. Hazzuah! Hope you enjoy the first extremely short chapter. I promise the next one will be longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own YuGiOh. If I did, there probably would be little to no duel monsters involved, kind like the following story.
'Thinking' "Speaking"
It was a beautiful autumns eve, a crisp breeze flowed throughout the city, kicking up fallen leaves as it passed by. A group of friends huddled around an old game at the arcade. Cheers of encouragement could be heard from the streets as Joey was just about to beat the all-time high score. All the friends cheered, except one. The ex-pharaoh, darkness, Yami. Instead of paying attention to spectacle at hand, he attention was drawn to the boy he had formally shared a body with, Yugi Moto.
'His smile is beautiful.' Yami though to himself, admiring the teen. Yami had always been fond of the boy, but lately, those feeling started to change into something more... unusual, unusual for the pharaoh that is. In all his years he had never felt so, happy. He had never felt such a desire to protect someone, honestly, he couldn't figure out why.
Yugi was cheering on the blond, only one thousand more points and... "HIGH SCORE!! JOEY YOU DID IT!" Yugi laughed as he threw a fist into the air celebrating his friends victory. He shot a glance to his darker half who didn't seem to be enjoying the arcade as much as the others. Yami gave Yugi a quick smile before the small of the two congratulated Joey once again.
'What's wrong with me? He's my partner, I shouldn't have feelings for him, at least not feelings like this. Great. I'm sure the god are frowning upon me now.' Yami sighed before trying to advert his attention else where. However, his attempts failed and once again found himself starting lovingly at his light.
Sensing Yami's discomfort, Yugi decided to end the trip to the arcade early. After saying good bye to their friends, Yugi and Yami started on their way home.
The two walked down dimly light streets, taking in the beauty of the city. As the two passed the park Yugi grabbed Yami's arm and dragged him towards the dark field.
Yami smiled at his abiou's innocence. "Where are you going? The game shop is-"
"Just follow me." Yugi said as he ran off into the darkness.
Yami followed closely, dodging tree branches, stepping over logs. 'Where is he going?' He thought to himself, completely perplexed.
Eventually Yugi stopped in a small clearing atop a hill. A stream could be heard through the trees as fireflies danced around them. Yugi took a seat amongst the grassy hill top and took in a deap breath. The moon peaked over the treetops, illuminating Yugi's beauty.
Yami took a seat next to his light. "This place is beautiful." Yami spoke to his hikari. 'Just like you.' He added to himself.
"I wanted you to see it before the fireflies went away." Yugi responded. The way the moonlight lit his face was just enough for the pharaoh to try to admit his feeling for the smaller teen. "That, and I wanted to tell you something."
Yami's fear began to grow, Yugi wanted to tell him something? Had he found out about his feelings?
"Umm. Go ahead, aibou, I'm listening." Yami tried hard not to stumble over his words.
"I've noticed you've been acting strange lately. I wasn't sure why at first, and to be honest, it kind of scared me-"
"Yugi, I-"
"Let me finish." Yugi began again after his dark had cut him off. He had to get it out there, it was now or never. He'd either be loved in return, or shot down. Either way, Yami had to know. "I guess you figured it out? It just goes to show how careless I am. I mean, Yami, you're so cool." Yugi emphasized that last part. "How could anyone not fall for you?"
Yami was taken back by his hikari's words. 'He has fallen for me?' Remaining speechless for a moment Yugi began to take the silence as a form of rejection. He brought his knees to his face and wrapped his arms around his legs, burying his face in his knees.
"I'm sorry Yami, but I just had to tell you, I understand if you don't want to see me again." Yugi's voice trailed off.
"You have no idea, do you?" Yami replied. "All this time I was terrified that you didn't posses the same feelings I had towards you, and yet, here you are, admitting everything to me. Yugi," Yami spoke as he placed his thumb and index finger on Yugi's chin and brought the boy's face to his. "you are the one person that keeps me going, the one I think about before I go to sleep at night, the one I dream about. I had fallen for you long ago, but couldn't admit it to myself, I was afraid you didn't feel the same."
Yami brought their lips together in a magical kiss. One that didn't last nearly as long as each had hoped, but it was still a kiss that would forever change their lives.
The moon illuminated Yugi's tears, sparkling diamonds flowed down porcelain skin. Amethyst eyes glittered in the darkness. Yami was finally able to call Yugi 'his'. Their feelings for each other were returned, and nothing could bring them down.
Again, I apologize for the epically short chapter. I felt like that was a good place to end chapter one though, hopefully draw the readers in and make them think 'What's next?'
As always, Read and Review.
