Chapter 3

Yami blushed slightly before he said, "Well do you remember Atemu Sennen grandpa?"

Solomon nodded, "Yes, I remember the boy you have hanging around the house a lot starting the end of your eighth grade year. Of course he's one of your closest friends why wouldn't I remember him?"

"Well, he's my boyfriend Grandpa…and he has been for quite a while." Yami mumbled.

Grandpa looked over at Yami for a moment and said, "How long is 'quite awhile' Yami?"

"Umm, end of Sophomore year." Yami mumbled.

"Yami, that's nearly two years ago." Solomon said.

Yami nodded, "Yeah, Atemu and I had been together two years yesterday."

Solomon chuckled and said, "Haven't been messing around with him, right?"

Yami's blush darkened as he looked away mumbling something under his breath. Solomon glanced over at Yami and said, "What was that Yami? I didn't quite hear you."

"I said we've only done it once." Yami said.

"Really now? Might I ask when?" Solomon asked.

Yami groaned, he could not believe he was having this conversation with his grandfather of all people. Then again, his grandpa was a known pervert so who else would ask annoying questions about someone's sex life. "After prom this year. Remember how I told you I was spending the night at a friends house." Yami said.

Solomon nodded, "Ah, so you and Atemu had sex on prom night. Might I ask why it was only that one time?"

Yami blushed before he mumbled, "Grandpa I really don't want to talk about this."

Solomon sighed and said, "That's fine my boy. We'll talk about this more later. And we'll need to have Atemu come over so we can talk about some ground rules. Your father may not be around anymore so that makes it my job to threaten his life if he hurts you…I may be a bit late but that threat still needs to be made."

Yami smiled, "Okay Grandpa, thank you."

Solomon nodded once before the topic was dropped, just in time for them to pull into the hospital parking lot.

Solomon drove around for a few minutes before he found a parking space and quickly pulled in before another car had a chance to steal it from him. He then parked the car and climbed out, Yami slowly following him.

"You know Grandpa; I really don't need to see a doctor. I'm perfectly fine." Yami mumbled.

Solomon glanced over at his grandson and said, "I'll believe that when I hear those words out of the doctor's mouth. Until then I'm not going to believe my stubborn grandson, who like his father would rather suffer in silence then ask for help."

Yami rolled his eyes but said nothing further on the subject as they walked into the waiting room. Yami sat down in one of the uncomfortable chairs that were in the waiting room while he waited for his grandpa to return with undoubtedly a stack of forms to fill out.

And just like Yami had suspected Grandpa returned minutes later with a clipboard and several forms to fill out. So the two sat in relative silence, only punctuated by the scratching of the pen as Solomon filled out the forms.

Ten minutes later Solomon had completed the forms and handed them back to the receptionist before returning to his seat beside Yami. Solomon glanced over at Yami and said, "So you want to tell me about how you and Atemu got together?"

Yami groaned, "Grandpa…"

"Come on my boy, its high time someone listened to this story. Humor an old man will you?" Solomon said.

Yami sighed, "Fine, grandpa…I'll tell you how Atemu and I got together."

Solomon nodded, "Good, I'm all ears."

Yami shook his head but began to speak.

Flashback

Yami and Atemu were walking through the park after school one rainy day after school. Today had been a bit rough, Yami had gotten into what he had called, 'a slight bit of trouble' with the school bully named Ushio. It hadn't been anything real bad, just some name calling and the usual demand for lunch money which as always Yami ignored even going so far as to demand the bully just get a job or stop spending all his pocket money on steroids.

Needless to say, Ushio had taken a swing at him. However, Ushio's fist didn't connect because Atemu had pushed Yami out of the way and taken the hit instead. Not to mention a hard kick the ribs before a teacher had come and broken it up and hauled Ushio off to talk to the principal…for all the good it would do seeing as it was his uncle.

Yami shook his head to rid himself of his thoughts on what had happened. In his mind what Atemu had done was downright stupid.

Atemu came to a stop and rested a hand on Yami's shoulder, drawing his attention onto him. "Something wrong Yami?" Atemu asked.

Yami sighed and said, "No, I'm just thinking, that's all Atemu."

Atemu smiled at him before tugging Yami over to a park bench and gently pushing him onto it, "Well, go ahead. Spill. We're not leaving til you tell me what's got you so distracted."

Yami playfully glared at Atemu before he caved and said, "Why did you do that today?"

"Why'd I do what Yami?" Atemu asked.

"Why did you get in the way when Ushio took a swing. You could have been seriously hurt Atemu." Yami said.

Atemu sighed and looked away from Yami, focusing his attention on a few ducks that were swimming in the lake. "Because…" Atemu said before trailing off.

Yami frowned before reaching out and turning Atemu's face so he was facing him once again, "Because why Atemu? Why would you put yourself in danger like that?"

"Because it would have been worth it as long as you didn't get hurt." Atemu said.

Yami's eyes widened briefly before he shook his head, "That still isn't a good enough reason Atemu." Yami said, "That still doesn't explain the reasoning behind doing something that could have put you in the hospital."

Atemu looked at Yami for a few seconds and said, "Well, maybe this will."

Yami was confused by what Atemu was talking about before Atemu leaned forward and lightly pressed his lips to Yami's cheek.

Yami blushed scarlet. Atemu quickly pulled away, a blush coloring his cheeks as well. Yami brought his hand up and rested it against his cheek and asked, "Why did you kiss me?"

Atemu sighed, "Because I like you Yami. I like you as more than a friend. That's why I couldn't let Ushio hurt you. The mere thought of you hurt makes me sick."

Yami didn't know what to say to that.

Atemu sighed again before he slowly got to his feet, "I understand if you don't feel the same way Yami. Can we please still be friends at least?"

Yami slowly got up and rested his hand on Atemu's shoulder, "Atemu, I don't know if I feel the same way about you do that you do about me, but I'd be willing to see." Yami said.

Atemu's eyes widened in shock, a smile gracing his features, "I'd like that."

Yami grabbed Atemu's hand, their fingers sliding together, "Me too."

End Flashback

"So that's how we got together." Yami finished with a sigh. It wasn't some super romantic confession like you'd see in the movies. Just two friends who decided to see if they could be more than that.

Solomon nodded, "That's a nice story."

However, further conversation on the subject was halted when the nurse called Yami back.

Thirty minutes and some x-rays later Yami and Solomon left the hospital after Yami had been told to take it easy seeing as he'd broken one of his ribs just like his grandpa, and the nurse, had suspected.

Yami and Grandpa climbed back into the car and before Solomon could even open his mouth Yami said, "Don't say it."

Solomon merely grinned before saying, "Say what? That I told you so? Okay I won't."

Yami just groaned while he grandfather laughed before starting the car and heading back towards home.
