I rushed around the corner, gasping for the breaths that I couldn't catch, as I made my way to school. I'd forgotten to set my alarm clock the night before and I've got five minutes to reach the school and be in my seat for attendance; or else I'll be marked absent.
Honestly, I didn't think it would be that bad if I didn't set my alarm clock for school. Mainly, I never actually had a reason to set it. But, today was different from the ones before. My other half didn't wake up this morning and scold me for waking up late like I was used to. Instead, I woke to silent cooing in my ear and a clock that read 6:58 A.M. Me, being a surprised victim, threw whatever was causing my ear distress onto the ground with a "thud" and ran into the bathroom knowing it was Yami; my other half.
I can't say it was his fault for not waking me up, but he'd been acting out of character for a couple of weeks now; feeling more like months every time he looked me in the eye. Those eyes gave off an empty loneliness every time they unleashed their wrath upon me; sharp like a hawk, but soft as a feather lying peacefully on the ground. How I long to comfort those eyes from their confliction, but alas, when those eyes gaze at me my form melts with shame and confusion.
Pulling out of my thoughts, I realize I'm at the entrance of Domino High school. "I made it! Just in time, too. I better hurry." I say beginning to push the door ajar. A sudden shock surges through me like a hurricane on the sea. "Ah." A tiny shriek escapes my lips and I pull my hands away from the door causing it to shut once more with a loud bang. I stare blankly at the door for several minutes in wonder. "What just happened…?"
"Aibou." An echoing voice spoke as if standing right in front of me. The voice was familiarly mono toned with just a hint of cockiness attached to the way it was spoken. I already knew all too well, it was the other me's voice speaking in my subconscious.
"Yes other me? Is there something you'd like to tell me?" I asked with a conception that I wouldn't like the answer. A brief moment of silence was all that was to be heard as the wind picked up and carried my locks across my face.
In a plain but humorous tone the other me said only three words. "It's Saturday, Yugi." His smirking face came to stand next to me in an instant as I fell to my knees in defeat. "Aibou? Are you alright?" He asked worriedly kneeling by my side.
I could have said many typical things in that moment. "Why did you do that!?" or "I walked all this way for nothing…?" or maybe even "That wasn't nice Moi Hitori no Boku!" But instead of all that this is what I said. "Oh, I'm fine. But, I'm afraid I see a terrible accident in your future." I said getting up and turning on my heals to meet the opposite direction. "Right now, you've managed to get onto my bad side. Funny I should mention it, but it feels strange to actually be pissed off. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it up to me. But, for now," I said with an evil smirk on my face. "I'm not talking to you at all until you do."
"But, Aibou! I need to talk to you or it'll feel just like solitude all over again!" The other me protested. I stayed silent for a moment letting it soak in that I wasn't going to speak, then I walked away heading straight home. "Yugi! Wait!" Yami yelled following after me trying not to get too close.
"Please talk to me? I'll do whatever it takes!" He begged and pleaded. It only made me happier as he begged. I knew it was wrong to make him do so, but it made me feel alive. I was the only one that knew what he could do but I wouldn't tell him. My smile returned with the look of that of a demonic love child.
The only sentence that intrigued me as we crossed the edge of the ally way was "I'll duel you, to make you talk." Yami said, almost as if it was a last resort. I shook my head and kept walking. "What? Are you chicken dear aibou?" He asked me, challenging my tempore with his eyes. To his discomfort I only smiled and nodded. It made me so happy I giggled aloud as we continued walking.
Suddenly my feet were knocked from under me and I felt gravity cease to exist as I began to fall forward. It was probably the hole in the ground I was usually always mindful of, stepping around it and then continuing. I'd been so caught up in my fun I hadn't even had sense enough to keep up with my common sense.
"Aibou!" Yami shouted as I began to fall. Stages of regret passed through me in a matter of seconds, slowly sinking in each passing moment. It felt like I'd been falling forever. I looked to my partner who was staring in shock, a tear escaped one of my ducks as I closed my eyes waiting for impact.
Soft, strong arms caught me before I fell onto the pavement. I was grateful for an end to the falling feeling. "Other me…," I whispered softly knowing very well I was still supposed to be giving him the silent treatment. "What would I do without you, Moi Hitori no Boku?" I said clinging to his chest, not letting him see my face as I began to cry.
He didn't comment on the sudden confession, but tightened his grip on me and let me cry into him. After about 5 minutes, he suggested we go into the game shop so that I could get some rest. Somehow, I found myself asking him to carry me in. I chalked it up to my trauma, but truth be told I just wanted to feel his arms around me a bit longer.
He grinned at me and agreed, gladly picking me up and carrying me bridal style. He carried me through the thresh hold of the game shop and we walked past my grandfather. "Huh? What happened, you two?" he asked worriedly. Yami already knew that I wasn't going to say anything, so he answered for me.
"He just tripped on a rock. I'm just making sure he gets the proper care for his trauma. Is that alright?" He explained. I tightened onto him a bit as he spoke, feeling childish for making him speak for me. He patted my back in response, assuring me that he didn't mind.
"Ah. I see well then it's fine with me if Yugi wants you to go up there with him." I looked at my grandpa briefly, surprised he'd set that up so that I would respond. "Is it ok with you, Yugi?" He asked directly. I nodded feeling a tiny blush play at my cheeks.
"Alright, you take good care of him alright?" grandpa said as a final word continuing to clean off the counter and register. "I'll see you two shortly for Dinner." Afterwards he disappeared into the back room.
I heard Yami whisper softly. "To my best ability…I intend to." He then proceeded with carrying me up the stairs to the small apartment above the store. Each step felt prolonged as if a kept memory of the future past.
The other me's face became hardened and his grip could take me apart if he wished to at any moment. I began stirring in Yami's arms uncomfortably. "Yami, I want to walk. Can I?" I asked nervously.
Yami's eyes turned to mine giving the answer for him. The lonely atmosphere had returned and with a vengeance ten times as bad as before. My heart ached for him unproductively like a cat eating a venomous snake. I wanted to touch him, to console him, to give him something to fill the lonely void in his eyes.
My body began shuddering with the want as I tried to find a way to hide my emotions. I flushed and avoided eye contact. How long can I hold on? I asked myself as my vision began to blur. "Aibou?" His voice clung to the air around me, I couldn't keep my cool. I looked at him accidentally locking our eyes together. Loneliness subsided, but shock replaced it. "Aibou, do you have a fever?" He asked apprehensively.
"I'm not sure other me…does it look like I have one?" I asked coyly. He paused on the stairs for a moment and kisses my forehead softly. What's he doing? Is he flirting with me while I might be sick? I heard myself questioning his movements as he roamed my forehead with his lips. He pulled away swiftly and began walking again.
"How did you catch a fever on the stairs? Am I walking too slowly!?" He asked anxiously. He picked up his pace and dodges objects in our path. Upon reaching the last step, the worried tri-colored boy speed down the hall. My door stood ajar as we came to a stop at it. Yami very carefully entered my room and placed me on my bed. His hands moved quickly, trying to tuck me into the very sheets of the small bed.
"Moi Hitori-." I tried to call to him but he cut me off. "Get some rest; I will be right back with some medication and some ice." He said quickly and left the room half way through the sentence. Just as the mere seconds he was gone my fever escaladed to a migraine. I moaned and groaned into my pillow.
My consciousness was slipping away from me moderately every 30 seconds or so. Moi Hitori no Boku…please come back…I begged. The blackness began taking over and my vision, was the first thing to go.
