I absolutely love Yukimi and Yoite. There aren't enough fanfics with them out there, so I decided to do one.

I'll Be There For You
Yukimi sighed as he tapped his pencil against his desk. Yoite was really starting to make him worry. On their last mission to protect Mr. Frosty, Yoite had overused the kira and got out of control. That Otae-san had also gone too far with her kinjutsu, reading Yoite's mind like that. Yukimi turned his chair around to observe Yoite who was in his usual sitting position. Did he realize that he didn't have as much time to live? Sometimes he wondered what Yoite was really thinking.
"Neh, Yukimi, What would you do if I betrayed Kairoshou?" asked Yoite.
"Ehh?! Where'd that come from?!" asked Yukimi. Yoite turned around.
"I'm just asking. What would you do?" Silence reigned across the room. Yukimi sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time that day. Dealing with article deadlines, Yoite's condition, and now his questions, was taking a toll on him. But, it wasn't as though he blamed Yoite. Yoite had every right to ask these questions. God only knows how hard his life must have been.
He highly doubted that Yoite would have learned kira on his own, if he had known the consequences. Maybe Hattori had forced him? What would Hattori do, if Yoite started to get worse? Probably, use him like a weapon while he lasted.
He respected the leader, but sometimes he felt as if he (the leader) could care less, about who died as long as he reached his goals. He wouldn't blame Yoite for betraying Kairoshou. It was obvious that he was just a weapon and trump card to the leader.
Sighing he stood up and started to make some hot lemonade. "What would I do huh?" he asked turning to look at Yoite. "Do you trust me?"
Taken aback, Yoite stared at the ground. "You're different from others…I feel that…I can…be safe."
Now it was Yukimi's turn to be taken aback. Sure, they were partners and Yoite stuck with him pretty well, but he hadn't expected to be held in such high regard by the kid. He smiled to himself. "Then, there's no need to worry, right?" he asked, as he finished making the lemonade. He handed a steaming cup to Yoite. "Here. Drink it when it's hot." Taking a sip himself, Yukimi allowed himself to feel the warmth traveling through his body.
"You don't have to worry about what I'd do. Just know that I'll be there for you when you need me. You do what you do with your life, and I'll back you up anyway possible. After all, I can't let you die, since you're so important to me," said Yukimi as he smiled at Yoite.
Yoite's eyes widened in surprise. Averting his eyes, he pulled his hat down to cover his eyes. "Ah," he replied.
I'm done! SO happy, that I got to write this! Please review.
