The Split Chapter 1-Prologue
Me: Hey there, everyone! Here's my first fanfiction ever! I'M SO EXCITED! XD
Yugi: You've been a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh! for a while now, right?
M: For the past 8 years!
Yami: And who's your favorite character?
M: Obviously you, and before you ask, my fave couple is YamiXAnzu (YamiXTea). Let me know what you guys think! I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of the characters!
Anzu POV
The pain was ten times worse than it ever was. I was delirious and couldn't tell up from down or left from right. My throat was scratchy and inflamed, making it hard to swallow. I was in bed, shivering with fever, when the door opened and a shadow fell across the midnight blue comforter before the door closed. There was silence for a few seconds and then footsteps approached the bed. My throat constricted agonizingly and a fit of coughs overtook me. An arm reached around my shoulders, lifting my upper body as a glass brushed my lips. The water was somewhat warm but it soothed my aching throat. Sighing deeply, I rested back into the pillow as a cool hand stroked my cheek.
"Get well soon…"
My heart literally froze in mid-beat. Could it be possible…? I pushed the thought away and fell into the dreamless sleep that awaited me.
**Few Hours Later***
Reluctantly, I pulled myself from the painless darkness in time to see the door open. My lips lifted into a ready smile for the figure that entered but instead of Yugi bringing my breakfast, it was Yami. My heartbeat began to accelerate and blood pounded in my ears as he asked how I was. I just stared up at the towering person above me and I finally shook my head to show that I was not too good.
His eyes, a striking deep violet brimmed in the boldest wine and containing shards of amethyst, frowned in what appeared to be concern. "Yugi will be saddened to hear that you are unwell. He is feeling indisposed at the present time as well so I've been prearranged to nurse you rather than aiding Yugi's Grandpa at the store." he explained, setting the tray down on the side table and sat on the covers next to me.
My heart beat quickened even more when one of his hands started to drift to the top of the blue covers near my shoulder.
"I am supposed to check on your bandages." he explained, as if his words were going to help calm my racing heart.
Slowly, he pulled it down until the left side of my body was exposed. He shook his head and ran his fingers along the rash that had appeared under my ribcage due to the chemicals that I had been exposed to. A cough rose in my chest and his hand slid down to my waist, fitting perfectly with its curves. Our gazes locked for a second before he replaced the covers and lifted the small bowl from the tray.
Gently sliding one arm around my shoulders, he lifted my upper body and slid between me and the headboard. He rested my head against his shoulder so I could swallow the broth without gagging or choking. The warmth of his body quickly spread through me and calmed my shivers as I took a sip.
"Allow me to assist you for a moment,"
Before I could stop him, he licked his thumb and wiped a trail of runaway broth from my chin. Oh, my gosh…I'm so confused…why does he act like he hates me around the others and Yugi but turns to…this when they aren't around?
Me: Well? What do you guys think?
Yami: It's too early to really tell…
Yugi: But it sounds pretty good! Can't wait to see what's next!
