O is for the only one I see

Yugi lay nestled in his yami's arms, smiling peacefully, even in his sleep. Yami was was asleep, too, with an equal expression on his face. They huddled together, shraing warmth and love. Nothing in the world could have been more perfect.

"YAMI! YUGI! GET DOWN HERE! You have company!"

"SHIT!"Yami cursed aloud as the sudden booming of Sugokoru's voice from downstairs awakened him roughly, making him fall out of the bed. Rubbing his head and muttering curses in Egyptian, he groped around, half blinded in the near darkness of the room. He found his boxers and shirt and put them on, then proceeded to bump his head agaisnt random objects to find his pants.

"Aibou, we have company."he whispered after finding his pants and pulling them up. Yugi bolted up, looking around the room, buttoning up his shirt in the wrong holes.

"Company? Right now!?"

"Not in here, Yugi, downstairs."Yami chuckled. Yugi sighed loudly. His yami moved his hand up to caress his cheek.

"Let's go."

"Can't we pretend we aren't here?"Yugi pouted.

Yami chuckled once more,"No, Yugi. Come on."

Sighing in dissapointment, Yugi re-buttoned his shirt, ziped up his pants(a new buttonless leather pair his Yami got him for Valentines Day. "Easier to get out of." He had remarked) and slipped off the bed, moving drunkingly. He fell agaisnt his koi, wrapping his arms around his yami's waist and burying his face in his side.

"I don't want to go downstairs!"

Yami laughed.

Yugi looked annoyed,"What?"

"Nothing, you're just acting like a little, innocent child is all."

Yugi pouted again before leaving Yami behind and walking out of their room. Yami followed closely behind, a little irratated at having been awakened to suddenly.

'It better be good.'Yami thought bitterly.

'Good' wasn't seomthing you'd say to this company. It was Anzu, standing in the living room next Sugokoru. She smiled when she saw them both, waving her hand in greeting. Yugi smiled politely but Yami was less than enthusiastic about her.

"Hi."she said to them both.

"Hello, Anzu."Yugi said awkwardly. When Yami didn't say anything Yugi nuged him in the stomach and mouthed "Be polite." Yami sighed and said his greeting.

"Um…I just came back from my vacation in Beverly Hills and as soon as I got here I had to come see you Yami-..I mean you two so badly."she shifted from foot to foot. Yugi smiled brigthly at her.

"That's nice."

She smiled again, shifting to her right foot,"Well…er…can…uh…can I talk to Yami…in private?"

Sugokoru smiled,"Sure you can. C'mon Yugi, you can help me in the kitchen." The old man walked out of the living room and dissapeared behind the kitchen door. Yugi looked from his yami to Anzu before hesitantly leaving the room.

"What do you think they're saying?"Yugi whispered to his grandfather who was dealing some cards at the table. It had only been 5 minutes but Yugi was getting edgy. Sugokuro laughed.

"I don't know. Calm down Yugi, I'm sure it's nothing to get all worked up about." Apparently, his grandpa didn't know just how big a deal this was.

Carefully, Yugi opened the kitchen door the slightest bit to see Yami and Anzu sitting together on the couch, looking serious. Anzu's mouth was moving, but she must have been whispering for Yugi couldn't hear a word she was saying.

Yugi strained his ears some more to hear a reply from his Yami,"Of course we can…"

"Sure? That's all?"Anzu asked.

"Yes."

After that they hugged each other and Anzu layed a peck on Yami's cheek before getting up and awkardly walking to the door. Yami got up and walked her the rest of the way. Yugi slumped to the floor and brung his knees up to his chest. Did this mean that Yami didn't want him any more? Did this mean he wanted Anzu now? Yugi's heart thuded in his chest as he took in a shakey breath.

"What's the matter, Yugi?" his grandfather asked, concern evident in his voice. Yugi looked up at him and shook his head, forcing a smile,"Oh nothing. Y'know Grandpa? It's getting late I should be going to be now."

"But it's time for dinner."Sugokuro blinked rapidly.

"I'll pass."

Yugi walked out of the bathroom gloomily, head hung low and feet dragging. His yami was already in bed, reading War & Peace, a novel he just couldn't seem to put down. But, he did put it down when his hikari emerged from the bathroom, the smell of soap and steam flooded through the air. His hair was damp and without it's normal structure. It brushed the shoulders of his pajams and tangled round in his face. He didn't bother to move it as he slipped in beside Yami.

"Why the long face?"Yami asked, wrapping his arm around Yugi lovingly. Yugi snuggled into the warmth of his Yami and closed his eyes, shaking his head.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

Yami frowned, not happy with the answer given,"No you're not."

"Yes I am, Yami."Yugi mumbled back.

"No you're not. We may have different bodies now, aibou, but we are still connected by our love. You didn't eat dinner today. Tell me what's wrong."

Yami lifted Yugi chin up to meet his eyes. Yugi felt his stomach flutter at seeing the love and concern in his lover's eyes. Did that mean he didn't care for Anzu?

"Do you love me?"the small boy asked.

Yami quirked an eyebrow and smiled,"Of course I do. Do you even have to ask such a question?"

Yugi frowned,"I know you do it's just…today with Anzu…I just thought…"

Yami chuckled,"You thought I had feelings for her, right?"

Yugi noded.

"What would make you think that?"

"No reason…just her appearnace and all…and the way you two bonded so well in the past, I guess."Yugi left out the part about eavesdropping in on their conversation.

Yami placed a long, soft kiss on Yugi's lips,"She told me she still had feelings for me, then asked me if I still had feelings for her." Yugi sighed deeply, wanting to ask something, anything, about why but Yami put his finger on Yugi's lips, silencing him.

"And I told her no. But I did say we could still be friends, though, but nothing more. And do you know what I told her afterwards," Yugi shook his head,"I told her that my love lies with you, my precious hikari, only you."

Yugi's heart welled up with guilt for doubting his Yami's love for him. He took the finger holding his mouth and pulled it off his lips. He opened his Yami hand and layed his head on it. Yami caressed his cheek.

"I'm sorry, Yami, so sorry. I love you."Yugi whispered.

"I love you, too,Yugi. You are the only one I see."
