A/N: I can´t believe I have another story inside my head that won´t leave me sleep, I´ll be writing this short fic as well as my other current one Until death do us apart …I just need the right inspiration for that one, but I haven´t forgotten about it, I just want to make it veeeery sad XD, in the meantime I give you this!

Prologue

Two months have passed since the nameless Pharaoh and the gang overcame the Orichalcos´ threat and peace has apparently returned to their lives, or that was at least what Yami wanted to believe with all his being.

In those two months a lot of things had happened to the gang; they prevented Leviathan´s darkness from reigning all over the world, entered Kaiba´s latest tournament and returned home to get back to their normal lives, If anyone could call normal such a life style.

It was a starry night and the spirit of the millennium puzzle couldn´t help feel uneasy due to Yugi´s recent behavior, apparently they were alright and everything seemed to be like any other time before the Orichalcos incident, but Yami knew something was bothering his aibou; he wouldn´t let him hear his thoughts so freely anymore, sometimes he wouldn´t even talk to him for hours… he had asked him several times if something was wrong and Yugi had answered that he was just tired from all the recent events.

The ancient spirit knew Yugi so well he definitely knew there was something else besides tiredness, he had a hunch though, after thinking the subject for hours and hours he came to a conclusion and it was that after all the crazy happenings and endless duels from the past months…they hadn´t had the chance to talk about the tragic incident after a certain duel in which certain card was played.

Yami had already apologized…or at least sort of apologized and Yugi has just said "it´s okay mou hitori no boku, don´t worry". How naïve had he been! Of course nothing was okay and he should be worrying, the former pharaoh to think about it how he should, right after meeting with Yugi for the first time since his forced separation Seto Kaiba had to come with another tournament, it had been a great timing for sure…

Also, the fact that Yugi was always hanging out with his friends didn´t help at all, Yami liked the gang of course, they had helped him to many times and they were truly good friends, but he couldn´t help feel like they both needed a time together in private, and when they were at Yugi´s room he would always feel tired and would go to sleep. There were no more night conversation of any kind, they used to have them to help Yugi sleep or to distract Yami from thinking about his lost memories, they would talk about duel monsters and games for the most parts, but there were also times when Yugi would confess everything about his past and childhood, how he had felt lonely before meeting Joey, Tea, Tristan, Ryou and everyone else…

They were like best friends…only that Yami felt something far stronger than a friendship for Yugi, something he couldn´t explain.

That was the reason why that starry night he was feeling so uneasy, Yugi was calmly sleeping, the moonlight gave his face a shining, almost, angelical glow, that sight made the spirit feel captivated and nervous.

Yami wanted so badly to know what was going on in his aibou´s mind and to fix everything, he was really afraid to think that relationship had been tainted forever, he could never accept the fact that Yugi hated him or didn´t want to be with him anymore.

If only he could show his partner what he meant, that he cared and wanted to protect him… but how? In that state he was literally dependant on Yugi, without him he simply couldn´t do anything at all.

Yami looked at the sky and sighed knowing that, being an incorporeal spirit his cause was a lost one.

To everyone´s eyes Yami was the confident strong one of the two, something almost no one perceived was the fact that he was also human, sort of…and therefore he also had insecurities and fears, many of them, his defense and way to disguise those fears was his over confidence itself, being one of those fears, perhaps the major one, the possibility of losing Yugi, he was desperate to find a way to attract his attention.

In that solitary moment of desperation he wished he could sleep, that way loneliness wouldn´t feel as painful, with a body of his own things would be so much easier, he´d be able to talk to Yugi directly, to touch him and make him understand…

In the middle of the silent starry night a twinkle star crossed the sky, the spirit had heard of them and had nothing to lose, maybe time but he had already spent more than a couple of thousand of years wandering in absolute darkness and loneliness, if only he could remember how it felt like..to be human, to have physical feelings and most importantly how to love a soul mate through the skin…

What happened next was something he would remember for the rest of his existence.

To be continued…
