My Hikari
Flower_on_thewind: Sorry for such an unoriginal title -_-; Anyhoo, this is my first fic on the net. So please be kind in the reviews (I'm a little nervous posting this up). This is also my first attempt at a yaoi and I must say, this was hard to come up with. A warning is that I.well.I don't exactly LIKE Téa, but my imagination isn't that creative to find ways of expressing my feelings about her -_-; Téa doesn't really appear in this fic anyways, so if you like her, DON'T GO AWAY!!! Feedback is very appreciated.

//yami talking to yugi// / yugi talking to yami/ "normal talking" 'thoughts'
**************************************************************************** ******
It was a peaceful night, with the stars shining like diamonds in the midnight blue sky. The moon shone brightly, giving off it's lunar light. On a quite street, a game shop was closed for the night. Upstairs, in the domestic area of the building, a boy slept. To any new comer, this person would seem like an innocent 10-year-old, but not a 15-year-old teen. This was Yugi Mutou, a seemingly pure and naïve person. As he slept, his millenium puzzle glowed softly. Suddenly, out came a boy (a teen really) with a flash of light. This person was strikingly similar to the sleeping form. One thing that was different from the two was that Yugi was definitely more petite. This other person was Yami, Yugi's other half.
'He's so beautiful.'thought Yami as he watched the moonlight create a glow upon Yugi's features. Yami, for sometime now, has developed "feelings" for Yugi. He hadn't mustered enough courage to tell his other half his feelings, at least not when he was awake. But now that his Hikari was sleeping, he could say almost anything. At the moment, Yami just watched his Light sleep. Yugi's expression was that of calm and contentment. 'How can anyone not love my light? I even fallen in love with his radiance'
At that moment, Yugi's peaceful expression contracted with pain and suffering. He began to whimper in his sleep as his dreams quickly turned into a horrible nightmare. Almost instantly after, Yugi started to thrash about wildly. Unable to see his other half in so much pain, Yami cautiously place a hand on Yugi's shoulder to wake him up.
//Wake up Yugi. // Yami silently called. It didn't help much and Yugi's attempts to hide from whatever was tormenting him grew stronger. //Yugi, wake up! // Yami tried again. This time he shook Yugi a little more forcefully. Thankfully, it worked this time. Yugi woke up with a cry and clung on to Yami as if his life depended on it. Yami soothingly rubbed Yugi's back as he cried onto his shirt. They stayed like that for awhile.
"Are you alright, Yugi?" Yugi couldn't speak just yet, but nodded in response. "What were you dreaming this time, my light?"
Gulping a little, Yugi said, "I dreamt that you weren't there anymore. Oh Yami, it was so horrible!" With that, a fresh set of tears attacked Yugi. In attempt for comfort, he buried himself even more into his Yami.
"Yugi, I'll always be here with you, we are one soul. I'll never leave you. Never." As soon as Yami said that, he returned to speaking soothing words and rubbing his Hikari's back. They stayed like that until Yugi's tears subsided totally. Yugi laid back down expecting that Yami would return to his Puzzle.
"Do you want me to stay with you?" This took Yugi on by surprise. Then again, Yami had been acting kind of strange the last couple of weeks. He's been more.open, and has been smiling more. Yugi supposed this was for the better.
"Well, you can stay if you want." Answered Yugi with a shrug.
"You didn't answer my question." Yami said with the I-caught-you- doing-something-wrong smirk.
"Yes. I would like that very much." Said Yugi.
"And remember Yugi, It was all a dream. Nothing more."
Little did Yami know that Yugi lied to him. He didn't dream about Yami leaving he forever.well, maybe he did, but that wasn't all. What he really dreamt was his abusive parents coming back for him and separating him from Yugi forever. Mentally, he shuddered at the nightmares his parents always gave him. It was a good thing he blocked Yami from the truth or else he would have a fit at what his parents had done to him in his dream.
The next day, Yugi and his friends had decided on going to the beach. Everyone was there! Most of the guys wore their trunks except Yugi and Yami. Yami's reason was that he didn't want to expose himself to perverted girls or guys (a/n: Lot's hey, there ARE gays down on the beach). He wore his usual leather outfit (good luck keeping away perverted people ^_~). Yugi's reason was because he was self-conscious of his body (no questions asked). He wore his trunks and a T-shirt on top and of course the millenium puzzle. The girls both wore their bathing suits, Mia wearing a SMALL bikini, and Téa wearing a one-piece and had pictures of Barbie and Ken all over it. Not to mention, it was hot pink too (that must be some ugly swimming suit O_0;;)
Everyone had fun at the beach. The day was perfect with the sun up high, and water warm. Surprisingly, the beach wasn't that full! Everyone had a blast, making sandcastles and swimming. One thing did prove to be an annoyance was the gradual heat change. It went from warm to pippin' HOT!! Yugi sat near a rather large rock for shade. It was a little ways away from the group, but the group didn't mind. His shirt didn't help much either. Yami noticed this and decide to talk to his other half.
"Maybe you should take off your shirt." (A/n: Is it me or did this room get a little hot? :blushes:) Yami suggested.
"Nah, I'm fine." Was the quick answer.
"Are you sure, Yugi? No one would criticize on how you look. You should take it off before you get a heat stroke." Said Yami in his stern, rich voice.
"Well.," Yugi faltered, " Maybe later."
//I just want you to be okay, about//
/I know, Yami/
With that, they heard Joey yell at them to come over. Once there, Joey began explaining that they were going to play jail tag. Yami and Kaiba were to be it. So let the games begin.
Kaiba went straight for his little brother while Yami went for Ryou (let's just say that bakura isn't there). Kaiba had a playful expression on his face as he let his brother gain some distance between them. Yami on the other hand, had that look of cocky confidence and competition as he mercilessly tagged everyone in sight. Soon, Seto caught his brother and hardly anyone was left to catch. Only Joey and Yugi were left. Kaiba went for Joey. His long legs was to his advantage, however, Joey had a secret weapon up his sleeve. Just as Seto caught up to him, Joey took out his water gun and sprayed Kaiba in the face. Kaiba was stunned, allowing Joey to run far into the ocean. This angered Kaiba a great deal and with a now determined look went after the blonde.
Mean while, Yugi took right for the rocks. Amazingly he had out run his Yami. Something in the back of his mind told him that Yami had let him run this far and now was after him without mercy. So, Yugi did the first thing that came to his mind. He hid behind a rock. Little did he know that his Yami was right behind him. Yami quickly caught him in a big bear hug, surprising Yugi a great deal. Yami then began attacking his aibou with tickle attacks. Shouts of laughter and glee rang in the air for a long period of time "Yami, stop!!" came the desperate plea. Finally, Yami let up allowing his Hikari to breathe again. Yami observed his Light while he recovered. Yugi was flushed and panting for breath.this caused unbidden thoughts to enter his head. 'Hentai!!' he thought to himself while making sure Yugi didn't hear. He also saw all the sweat Yugi had created and it worried him a little.
" I think you should take off your shirt now. No one but me is around."
Yugi hesitated, "Um.. I think I'll be okay."
Yami shook his head. His aibou was as stubborn as he sometimes. "If you won't take it off, I will take it off for you!" His voice was teasing yet VERY threatening.Just the way Yugi likes it sometimes-WAIT A MINUTE!! Where did that come from? He had no time to ponder about that. He had a split second to make a dash for it and succeeded. His victory didn't last long though. Yami pinned Yugi in no time and was struggling to take it off (a/n: this isn't a lemon so get your mind out of the gutter!!). Finally, he got it off. It was quite a sight really. Only now did both of them realize this. You have Yami sitting on top of Yugi, ripping his shirt off. Almost at the exact time, both of them blushed. This, unfortunately, did not stop Yami. Soon, the shirt was off and nothing was wrong with Yugi's body. In fact, Yami thought it was beautiful. 'Get your friggin' mind out of there! This is Yugi we're talking about!' Yami snapped out of his daze and let Yugi up.
"There, not so bad now is it?"
"Well." Yugi started, but a seagull suddenly screeched and surprised him. He whipped that way upon instinct, exposing his back to Yami. What Yami saw horrified and angered him all at the same time. There were scars all over his back going every which way. The worst one was the one that started at his right shoulder and ended on his left side near his waist.
"Who did this to you?" Demanded Yami in a dangerously low, threatening voice that sent shivers up Yugi's spine. Yugi whipped to face his Yami and backed away. He couldn't believe how stupid he was to let his guard down. He didn't know what to do, so he did the first thing that came to mind. He lied.
"I-I was in an a-accident when I was s-small."
This made Yami even more angry, and it also made him frustrated and sad to have his Hikari lie to him in fear. Who ever had done this would pay dearly for even touching his aibou.
"Yugi, don't lie to me!! I am your Darker half. I swore to protect you! So tell me, what had happen?"
"I-uh," started Yugi but didn't get to finish when they heard people calling their names. Mentally, Yugi sighed in relief. He didn't want to tell his Yami just yet. He didn't want to remember his past. Quickly he put on his shirt again and plastered his trademark smile.
"There you guys are, We've been looking all over for ya." Cried Joey.
"Sorry, Joey." Apologized Yugi as he quickly joined the others. He didn't want to face Yami again or at least for awhile. /I'll tell you later, Yami/ was his quick message as he followed his way back to everyone else. Little did he know how much his actions had hurt his Yami.
'He's afraid of me.BY THE GODS!! He's afraid of me! I'm so sorry aibou.' Yami continued to feel worried, sad, and angry for the rest of the beach trip.
On their way back home, Yami silently went back to his soul room to be alone. This made Yugi worry and upset.
/Yami?./
//.Yes, aibou?//
/I'm really sorry for how I reacted. I didn't mean to lie to you. I'll tell you everything, but we're almost home, so I'll tell you then! Okay?//
He felt Yami grin after he finished his little apology.
//Okay.//
Upon reaching the door, they hear loud voices coming from the shop. Yugi sprinted in to see what was happening. What he found made him wish he were dead.
"Where is my child?" screeched a red-brown hair woman.
"Give us our brat back" boomed a man with black hair. Both had features that resembled Yugi.
"And let you do those wicked things to him again!! NEVER!!!" cried Grandpa.
//Yugi, who are these people?//
Yugi gulped as he saw the two people he never wanted to see again. /My parents./
Suddenly, everyone noticed Yugi in the doorway. A small triumph smile graced the woman's lips. It was an evil smile, one not wanted to be seen again.
"Yugi.my little boy. How tal-never mind. my haven't we grown handsome?" cooed the lady.
"Yes, all big and strong now. It's time to go back home now_son_."
"N-no!! leave me alone!!" cried Yugi in sheer fear. His nightmare is coming to life!!
"Why you ungrateful-" his father started when he saw grandpa with the phone.
"If you two don't leave RIGHT NOW, I'll call the police!" Grandpa told them calmly. His voice dripped with malice.
"We'll be back." Screeched Yugi's mother, " And we'll have him back!" With that the duo left the building. Yugi was close to tears when they left.
//Yugi, why are you so afraid of them? What did they do to you?//
/H-hang on Yami, I'll explain everything in a minute. Let me ask Grandpa something first./
"Grandpa," Yugi sobbed, "Wh-what are they doing here? I thought they weren't allowed to see me! How come they came?"
His grandpa sighed, "Some people like to break rules, Yugi. Your parent's are one of them."
With that, Yugi dashed up to his room and cried on his bed. Yami couldn't take it anymore. He had to find out what was wrong with his light. So he came out of his soul room and comforted his aibou.
//sshhh.Yugi, tell me what's wrong. I can help.// he began to rub his back like he did the night before.
"When I was small, my parents use to abuse me." Yugi said flat out. " They like to drink, and they have an anger management problem. I use to be their punching bag. It was like that until I became eight. It was my birthday, and my dad was really drunk. He came home and began hitting me REALLY hard. Then he took a knife and started slashing me on the back. My mom came home and saw what my dad was doing and joined in. I lost a lot of blood that day and was taken to the hospital by my grandpa when he came by to visit. Ever since then, my grandpa has taken me in. I still have nightmares sometimes.Last night was one of them.
Yami was aghast at such cruelty to someone so pure. How he stayed so pure was a miracle! Fresh new tears spilt from Yugi as old memories came rushing back. Yami pulled his hikari close to him in a crushing embrace. Yugi's tears subsided as they just sat there together. 'where would I be without Yami?' wondered Yugi. 'without him, I'd be so lost. He's so kind, so confidante, so caring, so willing to protect me! And the fact that he's beautiful helps to. I-wait a minute!! Where did that come from!!!!' Yugi went over everything he thought and more and came to the conclusion. ' Oh my god.I'm in love with my Yami!!' he smiled at this new realization and leaned against Yami even more.
Yami felt Yugi press closer to him. He grinned at this and tightened his arms around his small light. He had to admit that he was enjoying this embrace a little too much. It was rare to have Yugi pressed this close to you, and Yami wanted to savor this moment for the rest of eternity. A small blush crept upon Yami's face as he realized that Yugi started to smile. It wasn't his everyday I'm-such-an-optomistic-person-that-this-smile-will-be- here-on-my-face-for-the-rest-of-the-day smile, but a small smile of contentment. He loved this smile the best. It was simple, yet spoke volumes.
Reluctantly, Yugi pulled away. Both were a bit unhappy that the hug ended. Neither had realized how late it was for the moon was once again high, giving the room a luminous glow. But what glowed most to Yami was his angel in front of him. To him, Yugi was the only thing that existed at the moment. To Yugi, Yami seemed to emit a sense of home to him. It was a sense he longed for all his life. And now, it was right in front of him. Unknown to both, each inched closer to each other until they were a hairs breath apart. They just stared into each other's eyes. Ruby red ones gazed into deep violet. Finally the moment of truth came. Yami closed the gap with his lips. Fireworks sparked everywhere. 'His lips are so soft.they taste so sweet' thought Yami. Yugi was seeing stars. This was his first kiss. He was being kissed by none other than his Yami!! 'God, he tastes good. His lips feel so right on mine.' soon enough, the tender, sweet kiss ended. Each pulled back a little shocked at what had happened. Yugi, surprisingly was the first one to speak.
"Yami?" He shyly question.
"Yugi, I-uh.umm." stuttered Yami. He was at lost for words. Did this mean.
"Yami, I love you!" Yugi burst out loud. Yami was shocked. All this time, he had been tormented in thinking that Yugi would never love him, yet it was Yugi who first confesses it! He then realized Yugi was looking at the ground. A lone teardrop fell on the floor. 'oh gods no.' In his silence, Yugi came to the conclusion that Yami didn't feel the same way.Swiftly he drew closer to Yugi. This time, more tears fell to the ground. It pained Yami to see his light so sad. Yami cupped his aibou's chin and brought his eyes to look at his own. Another lone tear fell from Yugi's eyes. Yami used his thumb to brush this one away.
"I love you." Yami whispered. His voice was thick with emotion and crack slightly. The look on Yugi's face was so intense that it made Yami's eye's water. It was the slow process of coming out of despair in into pure joy and happiness. Both lent in to give each other another sweet, soft kiss; never wanting it to end. Like most things though, it did. And when it did, Yugi gave Yami a loving smile.
"You'll always be my Yami." He promised looking straight into those powerful ruby red orbs.
"and you'll always be my Hikari." Yami whispered into those endless violet eyes.
within Yami's soul room, two words rang out true and clear
'My Hikari."

'He's afraid of me.BY THE GODS!! He's afraid of me! I'm so sorry aibou.' Yami continued to feel worried, sad, and angry for the rest of the beach trip.
On their way back home, Yami silently went back to his soul room to be alone. This made Yugi worry and upset.
/Yami?./
//.Yes, aibou?//
/I'm really sorry for how I reacted. I didn't mean to lie to you. I'll tell you everything, but we're almost home, so I'll tell you then! Okay?//
He felt Yami grin after he finished his little apology.
//Okay.//
Upon reaching the door, they hear loud voices coming from the shop. Yugi sprinted in to see what was happening. What he found made him wish he were dead.
"Where is my child?" screeched a red-brown hair woman.
"Give us our brat back" boomed a man with black hair. Both had features that resembled Yugi.
"And let you do those wicked things to him again!! NEVER!!!" cried Grandpa.
//Yugi, who are these people?//
Yugi gulped as he saw the two people he never wanted to see again. /My parents./
Suddenly, everyone noticed Yugi in the doorway. A small triumph smile graced the woman's lips. It was an evil smile, one not wanted to be seen again.
"Yugi.my little boy. How tal-never mind. my haven't we grown handsome?" cooed the lady.
"Yes, all big and strong now. It's time to go back home now_son_."
"N-no!! leave me alone!!" cried Yugi in sheer fear. His nightmare is coming to life!!
"Why you ungrateful-" his father started when he saw grandpa with the phone.
"If you two don't leave RIGHT NOW, I'll call the police!" Grandpa told them calmly. His voice dripped with malice.
"We'll be back." Screeched Yugi's mother, " And we'll have him back!" With that the duo left the building. Yugi was close to tears when they left.
//Yugi, why are you so afraid of them? What did they do to you?//
/H-hang on Yami, I'll explain everything in a minute. Let me ask Grandpa something first./
"Grandpa," Yugi sobbed, "Wh-what are they doing here? I thought they weren't allowed to see me! How come they came?"
His grandpa sighed, "Some people like to break rules, Yugi. Your parent's are one of them."
With that, Yugi dashed up to his room and cried on his bed. Yami couldn't take it anymore. He had to find out what was wrong with his light. So he came out of his soul room and comforted his aibou.
//sshhh.Yugi, tell me what's wrong. I can help.// he began to rub his back like he did the night before.
"When I was small, my parents use to abuse me." Yugi said flat out. " They like to drink, and they have an anger management problem. I use to be their punching bag. It was like that until I became eight. It was my birthday, and my dad was really drunk. He came home and began hitting me REALLY hard. Then he took a knife and started slashing me on the back. My mom came home and saw what my dad was doing and joined in. I lost a lot of blood that day and was taken to the hospital by my grandpa when he came by to visit. Ever since then, my grandpa has taken me in. I still have nightmares sometimes.Last night was one of them.
Yami was aghast at such cruelty to someone so pure. How he stayed so pure was a miracle! Fresh new tears spilt from Yugi as old memories came rushing back. Yami pulled his hikari close to him in a crushing embrace. Yugi's tears subsided as they just sat there together. 'where would I be without Yami?' wondered Yugi. 'without him, I'd be so lost. He's so kind, so confidante, so caring, so willing to protect me! And the fact that he's beautiful helps to. I-wait a minute!! Where did that come from!!!!' Yugi went over everything he thought and more and came to the conclusion. ' Oh my god.I'm in love with my Yami!!' he smiled at this new realization and leaned against Yami even more.
Yami felt Yugi press closer to him. He grinned at this and tightened his arms around his small light. He had to admit that he was enjoying this embrace a little too much. It was rare to have Yugi pressed this close to you, and Yami wanted to savor this moment for the rest of eternity. A small blush crept upon Yami's face as he realized that Yugi started to smile. It wasn't his everyday I'm-such-an-optomistic-person-that-this-smile-will-be- here-on-my-face-for-the-rest-of-the-day smile, but a small smile of contentment. He loved this smile the best. It was simple, yet spoke volumes.
Reluctantly, Yugi pulled away. Both were a bit unhappy that the hug ended. Neither had realized how late it was for the moon was once again high, giving the room a luminous glow. But what glowed most to Yami was his angel in front of him. To him, Yugi was the only thing that existed at the moment. To Yugi, Yami seemed to emit a sense of home to him. It was a sense he longed for all his life. And now, it was right in front of him. Unknown to both, each inched closer to each other until they were a hairs breath apart. They just stared into each other's eyes. Ruby red ones gazed into deep violet. Finally the moment of truth came. Yami closed the gap with his lips. Fireworks sparked everywhere. 'His lips are so soft.they taste so sweet' thought Yami. Yugi was seeing stars. This was his first kiss. He was being kissed by none other than his Yami!! 'God, he tastes good. His lips feel so right on mine.' soon enough, the tender, sweet kiss ended. Each pulled back a little shocked at what had happened. Yugi, surprisingly was the first one to speak.
"Yami?" He shyly question.
"Yugi, I-uh.umm." stuttered Yami. He was at lost for words. Did this mean.
"Yami, I love you!" Yugi burst out loud. Yami was shocked. All this time, he had been tormented in thinking that Yugi would never love him, yet it was Yugi who first confesses it! He then realized Yugi was looking at the ground. A lone teardrop fell on the floor. 'oh gods no.' In his silence, Yugi came to the conclusion that Yami didn't feel the same way.Swiftly he drew closer to Yugi. This time, more tears fell to the ground. It pained Yami to see his light so sad. Yami cupped his aibou's chin and brought his eyes to look at his own. Another lone tear fell from Yugi's eyes. Yami used his thumb to brush this one away.
"I love you." Yami whispered. His voice was thick with emotion and crack slightly. The look on Yugi's face was so intense that it made Yami's eye's water. It was the slow process of coming out of despair in into pure joy and happiness. Both lent in to give each other another sweet, soft kiss; never wanting it to end. Like most things though, it did. And when it did, Yugi gave Yami a loving smile.
"You'll always be my Yami." He promised looking straight into those powerful ruby red orbs.
"and you'll always be my Hikari." Yami whispered into those endless violet eyes.
within Yami's soul room, two words rang out true and clear
'My Hikari."
