Smile for Your Little One?

Ch. 2 "Who are you, really?"

/

Class passed quickly and Yami couldn't help but notice how stern and focused Yuugi's eyes were as he scribbled what Yami thought were notes on his paper.

The bell rang pulling him out of his thoughts. He stood up and loomed over Yuugi's desk, peering down at him as he worked.

"What's that?" he asked.

Yuugi wheeled around and stared at him wide eyed, quickly covering them. Realizing it was Yami he shakily smiled.

"S-Sorry Yami-san, you startled me." He said before putting his papers away and taking out his lunch.

"I'll eat in the classroom Yami-san, go ahead and eat with Anzu." He offered.

Yami smirked and pushed a desk next to Yuugi's and sat rather close to him. Yuugi blushed and looked away.

"I'd rather have lunch with you." Yami said with a charming smile.

Yuugi blushed and looked up at him, his eyes ticking a few times. "R-Really? You don't have to…"

"I want to." He insisted taking out his own lunch.

"…okay." The other responded shyly as he began to eat his boxed lunch.

"What do you have today?" Yami asked taking a peek into the other's lunchbox.

"…Two pieces of sushi, a bowl of rice, and a peanutbutter sandwich."

"That looks good, did you make it?" He got the feeling Yuugi wasn't much of a conversationalist.

Yuugi's eyes glazed over as his eye ticked again. He turned to Yami with a cheery smile. "My new mum made it for me. Isn't it nice?"

Yami shuddered without realizing it. Yuugi's words for some reason unnerved him, weather it was the way he said it or what he said, it had unnerved him.

"New mum?" he dared.

Yuugi grinned and giggled happily. "Yup! I've been adopted again. This new one's very nice…but she talks too much." He said as his eye ticked a few more times.

"Oh yeah, sorry about what happened to your parents..." he said apologetically.

Yuugi turned sharply to him, with an eerie smile. His eye ticked twice before his smile turned to a wide, shaky grin.

"Don't worry about it. I'm okay, it's not like I'm crazy or anything!" he said with a giggle.

Yami's smile vanished before being taken by a fake one.

"Oh…okay. I'm glad you're okay."

Yuugi just smiled and began to eat.

"So what about your new family?" he asked shaking away the sudden chill that ran through him.

The eerie feeling evaporated as Yuugi smiled normally and stared happily into Yami's eyes. "Oh, they're very nice. They have a daughter named Eliza. They've been very good to me, giving me my own room and lots of books, yes, I'm happy."

"Oh…that's good. Do you get along with your new sister?" Yami asked.

Yuugi's eye ticked again. "She's like new mum, she talks too much…" he responded blankly. "And always wants me to play dolls with her."

Yami laughed at the mental picture that came with Yuugi playing dollies with a little girl.

"What?" Yuugi said with a blushe. Yami was laughing at him…?

"Nothing, I just think it's a funny image, you playing with a little girl. Did you have any siblings before?"

Yuugi looked down, and plainly said without any concern. "I had a brother named Heba, but I killed him."

Yami froze, looking up at Yuugi in shock. Yuugi just giggled as his eye ticked before he broke out into laughter.

"Had you going didn't I?" he said with a smile.

Yami laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck with growing uneasiness. "Yeah, you sure did…"

"I did have a brother though. He was my twin, but he died a long time ago…" he said vaguely.

"How did he die?" Yami dared.

Yuugi looked at Yami with a small, secretive smile. "I don't know. He just died."

"How do you NOT know?"

"Nobody ever told me, and I was too young to remember." Yuugi said ending the subject with asking, "What about you Yami-san, do you not have any siblings.

"I've got an older brother named Atemu, but he's all grown up so we don't see him that often."

"Oh…that's sad." Yuugi responded.

Yami reached out and ruffled Yuugi's messy hair. Yuugi didn't flinch or yelp, but instead smiled softly, his eyes returning to a pure innocent look. His cheeks were flushed and he giggled.

Yami found the image adorable. He chuckled and nuzzled his face into Yuugi's hair before mumbling into his ear, "I think your really cute, Yuugi-kun."

Yuugi shuddered, he eye ticking a few times. Yami smiled.

"R-Really Yami-kun?" Yuugi asked blushing a light scarlet. His eyes were back to his normal duller shade

Yami smile didn't falter though, and kissed Yuugi's forehead. "And I like it when your eye ticks. It's adorable."

Yuugi smiled happily and rested his head against Yami's shoulder.

"Um…Yami…do you have a girlfriend?" he asked.

Yami began to pet Yuugi's hair. "No, little one, I'm gay and single."

"Y-Yami-kun…I…"

"You what, little one?"

BRIIIINNNGGGG!

The class flooded the classroom and the two moved their seats back. The pair didn't speak much the rest of class, Yuugi going back to his normal skiddish and odd self.

While Yami couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong with Yuugi, that he was odd, he also couldn't deny that he was attracted to Yuugi either.

Being the teenager he was, he acted on the later.

Class slugged by at its slow pace, until the final bell rang and the class emptied again, leaving only Yuugi, Yami and Anzu.

"I'm going to go ahead Yami, um, see you later Yuugi…" Anzu said before leaving rather hastily.

"Don't worry about her little one, she's just being dramatic as usual." Yami said seeing Yuugi's downcast eyes. He placed a hand on Yuugi's delicate shoulder, as the other looked up at him.

"Um, Y-Yami-kun…?" Yuugi began, his blush still in place as his eye ticked.

"Yeah?"

"I was just…I mean…do you want…umm…" Yuugi stuttered while his eye ticked multiple times.

"Yuugi, do want to ask me anything?" Yami asked with a smirk. "Well?" His hand went from Yuugi's shoulder to cupping his flushed cheek, stroking it with his thumb.

"Um…I…see you tomorrow, Yami-kun!" Yuugi said quickly pulling away and running off without his things.

"Yuugi, you forgot your stuff!" Yami shouted but Yuugi was already gone. He sighed and picked up Yuugi's backpack along with his own with a small smile.

"He's just too weird." He laughed to himself. "But he's too cute too."

Yami went down to the office and found Yuugi's address in the file cabinet, before setting off to find his house.

He wasn't sure exactly what to expect as he stood in front of it upon his arrival.

It was a small, two story house in the Victorian style, painted in a pale yellow with white and rose pink accents. It was pretty, with it's crisp paint and white porch. The yard was cut and refined, the shrubs nice and green.

It looked very alive.

He approached the door, knocking on it before waiting. It was opened by a little blond girl. Her hair was in curls that framed her face as she smiled up at him. She wore a pale pink sundress.

"Hello? May I help you?" she greeted. She was quickly shooed inside by a woman with brunette long hair, wearing a more plain dress with an apron.

Yami found it very stereotypical.

"I'm sorry, go inside Jessica, play with your toys." The lady ordered in a calm happy voice.

Jessica laughed and smiled before waving to Yami and bolting upstairs. He smiled and waved back.

"May I help you young man?" she asked.

"Yes Ma'am, my name is Yami, I go to school with Yuugi. Is he here?" he asked politely.

The lady smiled. "Oh? Are you one of his friends? Yes, he's here." She responded happily. She invited him in, and Yami found the house just as colorful inside. He was guided into the kitchen and seated at the table.

"Yuugi, you have a visitor!" she called.

Yuugi walked down the stairs. "Visitor?" he questioned as he peeked his head around to see Yami. He blushed, his dull amethyst eyes looking happy, but nervous as his eye ticked a few times.

"Oh, hello Yami-kun." He greeted shyly sitting beside Yami at the table as Yuugi's adoptive mother brought over two glasses of lemonade. They thanked her happily.

"Hi Yuugi-kun, you left your bag at school when you ran out." Yami explained.

Yuugi blushed deeper. "Thank you, Yami-kun, but what did you do to find where I lived?" he asked, eye twitching away.

"I looked it up in the office." He replied.

"Oh." Yuugi said smiling shyly. "Yami-kun…um…there was something I wanted to ask you before…" Yuugi admitted.

"Really, what?" Yami asked playing dumb as he smiled charmingly at Yuugi.

"Um…Yami…will you go out with me?" he blurted suddenly, blushing. Yami broke out into laughter at his expression and took Yuugi's hand in his own.

"I'd love to, little one." He said with a smile.

Yuugi smiled back as his eye twitched. His eyes darkened suddenly as he smirked, glancing aside at nothing in particular before saying in a low, growl like way,

"Wonderful…" his eye twitching and ticking still.

"What was that?" Yami asked, unnerved by Yuugi's sudden dark aura. Yuugi's dull eyes went back to him, his innocent smile in place.

"Nothing Yami, nothing at all. I'm just really happy." He smiled. "You should get going."

Yami looked at the clock, "Yeah, I need to get a start on my homework." He agreed, before kissing Yuugi's hair.

"See you tomorrow, Yami." Yuugi said showing him out.

"Yeah, you too aibou." He called as he left.

Yuugi's mother came back in the kitchen. "Yuugi, where'd your friend go? I was going to bring out some snacks."

"He had to get going mom, he was busy but thanks anyway." Yuugi said without an expression as his eye ticked. The dark aura returning before he willed it away, turing to his mother with a cheery expression.

Yuugi's mother hugged him supportively, and smiled. "I'm glad you're becoming social, Yami seems really nice."

"Yeah, he's been kind to me." Yuugi said hugging her back. She pat his hair and sighed in relief. "That's good. I'm happy, now why don't you start on your homework and I'll fix a snack." She smiled.

Yuugi nodded and walked upstairs to his room before closing his door and flopping on his bed. He held his face in his hands as he began to laugh. It was a distorted sound, loud and shrill as he rolled back and forth happily.

"Yami, huh? This should be fun…" he smirked.

A/N: Pshyco Yuugi! WHOOO! There will be much fluff in later chappies, ratings may rise, etc.
