By Lil' Cherry Blossom
AN: I know, I know. Why Phil Collins!?!? Gomen minna-san. It's just that I was listening to the radio after a night of reading nothing but Yami/Yugi fics and they played this song. I would normally cringe when I hear it, but I was shot with inspiration. I listened to the words carefully and they fit so perfectly!!!! So, please forgive me readers! Anyway, this is my first yaoi fic so please don't flame me. I'm very new at this. But I can promise you lots and lots of fluff! That's why they call me Fuffalafacuss! ^0^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami awoke with a start, something was wrong. The ancient pharaoh closed his eyes and concentrated hard on his aibou. /Yami... Yami don't leave me! / He felt his light whimper. In a flash Yami was out of the puzzle and sitting next to his little Yugi. The smaller boy was hugging his knees, sobbing.
"Yugi! What happened? Are you alright?!" his darker half asked with concern written all over his face.
"Yami?" Yugi looked up to see his yami staring at him with worried eyes. The pharaoh was unprepared for what happened next. Yugi grabbed him by the waist as hugged him as if he would vanish any second.
"Aibou what happened?" Yami asked softly while stroking Yugi's hair and letting his light sob into his chest.
"Yami," Yugi said in a muffled voice, "I had such a horrible nightmare! I dreamt someone broke the puzzle, and, you were gone forever!" he cried out, "then everything went dark and it was so cold... Yami I was so scared!" Yugi began to shudder.
The taller boy just looked at his little aibou as he hugged him close and rubbed his back, trying to console him.
"It's alright little one, I'm right here. It was only a dream, nothing more." Yugi shivered as he remembered the nightmare.
"Hey," Yami lifted Yugi's chin softly and looked into his light's eyes "I will never leave you. I will always be here to protect you ok?" Yugi looked into his darkness' crimson eyes and couldn't help but relax. He stopped shivering and dried his tears.
"Thank you." He said simply, and buried his face into Yami's chest. The pharaoh wrapped his arms around the smaller one and stroked his spiky hair.
After his aibou had calmed down, Yami scooped him up and cuddled him a bit. Then he gently placed his little light back under the covers of his bed. Though Yugi smiled, his other half could tell he was still uneasy.
"You're still nervous aren't you aibou..." Yami asked his spiky haired counterpart.
"I'm fine Yami, really, don't worry." The little one replied while trying to look as cute as possible. Yami raised an eyebrow.
"Now you know you can't fool me young one. What's wrong?" he insisted. Yugi pouted.
"I can't forget about that dream...I don't think I'll ever forget that horrible feeling when you were taken away from me..." he turned over on his side, tears threatening to fall once more. Yami looked at his little light. He was so innocent; he didn't deserve nightmares like that.
"Please tell me what I can do little one." Yami took Yugi's hand in both of his and squeezed it gently. Yugi looked up at his darkness and saw worry in his eyes. Feeling a ball beginning to form in his throat, Yugi didn't say anything for fear of crying. /Yami.../ //Yes aibou, what can I do? // The pharaoh urged. /Would you...stay here tonight...with me? / Yami smiled warmly at his little aibou and tousled his spiky red hair.
"Of course my little light." Yugi let out a small sigh of relief as his yami lay down next to him and wrapped his strong arms around his waist. Yugi felt a wave of pure joy wash over him as he felt a blush creep up his cheeks. He heard Yami sigh and knew he must feel the same. //Is there anything else I can do for you aibou? // Yami asked through their link, not wanting to disturb the silence of the beautiful moment they were experiencing. /Well... / //Yugi, you know I'd do anything to make you happy. // Yami thought as he leaned in and kissed the smaller one's cheek. Yugi nodded as his blush intensified. /Yami... would you sing that song for me... please? / At this the dark one leaned in closer than before and kissed his light side passionately.
"Of course aibou, anything for you little one." He smiled warmly. Yugi's eyes lit up and his smile beamed. He turned over and Yami leaned back a bit so that his mouth was just behind Yugi's ear. The little one closed his eyes as his yami began to sing to him softly.
Come stop your crying it will be alright
just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here, don't you cry
For one so small you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
I will be here, don't you cry
Yami gave Yugi a small squeeze as his other let out a blissful sigh.
Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
Yugi turned around to look at his other's crimson eyes. And he saw that they were filled with pure love, as were his own.
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always..
The pharaoh couldn't help gently stroking his light's face as he sang their song. He found it incredible how much he loved this boy, no matter how different they seemed, one dark, one light. They were meant to be together, and never be apart.
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust, what they can't explain
I know we're different but, deep inside us
We're not that different at all
They had been faced with so many obstacles, and so many people trying to tear them apart. But none had succeeded, and none ever would.
Cause you'll be in my heart
You'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart always..
Yugi knew how much he loved Yami, he had known ever since he first solved the puzzle. Yami had always been there for him, as a friend, then more… His darkness was always there to protect him.
Don't listen to them, what do they know?
We need each other to have to hold
they'll see in time...I know...
The pharaoh smiled at his little light, kissed him gently on the nose and took his hand before continuing.
When destiny calls you, you must be strong (you got to be strong)
Cause you'll be in my heart
I may not be with you, but you got to hold on
They'll see in time. I know...
We'll show them together 'cause
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
You'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
no matter what they say (I'll be with you)
you'll be here in my heart (I'll be there) always…
Always...I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always, always and always
just look over your shoulder
just look over your shoulder
just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always....
As Yami's voice trailed off, Yugi let out a long sigh.
"Thank you Yami, I don't know what I'd do without you." His yami simply smiled at him and drew him in for a long kiss.
Before Yugi closed his eyes to go to sleep, Yami whispered in his ear,
"Remember little one, I'll never leave you. I love you more than anything and I'll always be here with you, always and always." Yugi snuggled up to his darkness while Yami hugged his little light close. Then they both fell asleep and dreamt only of each other.
