Neko-chan: I'm glad people are enjoying this, it's my first time writing a BL fanfic but I ship Yami and Yugi a lot and I haven't watched the entire anime yet, I also hate Tea so that's why I put her in a bitchy position, I hope I don't get some things wrong and I hope you continue to tell me what you think of this experiment.

Warning: Im putting this just incase. There are mentions of drug and alcohol abuse, and also rape and other things in that sort of thing, if this is an upsetting thing to you please for your own good do not read it. thank you~

As Yami and Yugi got to the game shop Yami immediately sensed there was something wrong, there was a dark gloomy aura around the usual fun happy cheerful place. Yami held the sleeping Yugi tightly in his arms as he walked in to see Joey, Tristan Grandpa and unfortunately Tea. Joey and Tristan looked horrified as they stared at the smirking Tea.

"Oh, Yami! It's terrible! Yugi told me he was going to run away, he came in the pouring rain saying someone had found him and he must escape. It's so horrible!" Tea over exaggerated as Yami entered not seeing the soaking sleeping Yugi in his arms.

"Tell him what you told us Tea, before he thinks of going to run after him" Tristan said looking down at the floor angrily.

"The person that's chasing him-"

"Shut up!" Yami said irritatedly, though he spoke loudly he didn't shout as he feared the sleeping Yugi would wake in his arms and run again if he found out everyone knew now thanks to Tea. Tea looked at Yami in shock at the outburst and then she noticed Yugi sleeping in his arms.

"Y-You found him? And you brought him back?! Why?!" Tea yelled in shock making the small boy stir in Yami's arms, Yami ignored her as he placed Yugi on the sofa. He then turned to the group and glared at Tea.

"You, what lies did you feed them?" Yami growled. His hands were clenched and he felt like punching Tea square in the face.

"W-What do you mean lies? I told them what happened between me and Yugi before he ran off." Tea said looking shocked and scared.

"You also told them his past. Something only he and I talked about. I was surprised you'd sink that low Tea" Grandpa cut in, He stood next to Yami his figure trembling with anger.

"Wait, gramps you knew what he had done and kept him here?! Why?!" Joey yelled.

"Stop yelling, and I kept him here because he is my grandson and I love him. He deeply regretted his past and that is why I pulled him out of school for a month because he did not want to see any of you in fear you'd find out and exile him" Grandpa said looking at Joey with a look of determination. "He was going to tell you but he still fears that you will leave him, and now you know... Well, what will you do. It's clear to me that Tea is no longer his close friend as she told you his past without thinking twice about it." Grandpa still trembled with rage but he spoke as calmly as he could. Tea glared at the small old man, and he glared back, he was done putting up with this bratty girl.

"I'll stay beside 'im. I mean, Yug's my best friend." Joey said walking over to Grandpa and Yami. He turned and looked at Tea disappointed. "Why did you betray his trust Tea?" Tea shook with anger and clenched her fist as tears of rage filled her eye, Everybody looked to Tristan.

"I trust Yugi. He's my friend! I'm not going to abandon him because of what he may have done in the past" Tristan exclaimed though nobody was sure he was completely sure of what was going on.

"W-what?! Are you all idiots?! Or has that little slut just seduced you all!?" Tea screamed, She glared at all four males that stood in front of where Yugi lay asleep though he was probably awake by now. "How can you just forgive what he's done and want to help him? Are you all mentally ill?!"

"This is what friendship is, Who cares what he's done in his past, mines a lot worse than that Tea. If you can't accept his how do you plan on accepting mine" Yami said looking at her with a disappointed expression, he already knew from Yugi that Tea liked him but he never once wanted to talk to her, the vibe he got off of her was uncomfortable.

"Oh come on, It can not be as bad as Yugi becoming Marik sex toy after he ran away from home" Tea sneered, Yami's hands tightened into fists, just hearing her say those words made him want to rip off someones head.

"What" Yami growled his eyes filled with fury.

"Wait, he didn't tell you, hah. That's interesting. Not like I care though. I hope you all get killed since your getting in Marik's way" Tea said a smug look on her face as she stomped out of the game shop out into the pouring rain and she slammed the door behind her.
As the door slammed Yugi sat up tears pouring down his face. He didn't look up at anyone, he couldn't not after what Tea had told them, he felt so ashamed of himself.

"Were you awake for all that?" Yami asked him gently, Yugi nodded solemnly tears dripping off of his chin as he kept his head down.

"Yug, No matter what happened in your past. I'll be there for ya. I mean. You helped me and Seto a lot even if it caused him to challenge you left right and center." Joey said as he knelt down in front of the small sobbing boy. Joey put his hands on both Yugi's shoulders and looked him right in his tearful little eyes. " Nothing can change the fact that you're my and Tristan's best bud" Joey said these words with such serious eyes. Yugi almost believed him but he shook his head not wanting to be hurt again like Tea had hurt him, he was sick and tired of his trust being betrayed.

"Yugi, would you tell us what really happened? We would like to hear it from your own mouth since you and Marik are the only ones who know exactly what happened" Yami said sitting next to the smaller and slightly more innocent version of himself. Yugi looked at his friends as they looked at him worriedly, He kept wondering if he could trust them, or if they'd turn on him just like Tea.

"We won't leave you no matter what Yugi" Yami whispered as he hugged him, tears began to roll down his cheeks as he pressed his face into Yami's chest.

"I-I'll try my best. But. I may stop a few times because this is hard for me." Yugi sobbed softly. Everyone agreed that it was fine and told Yugi to take his time on telling them his history. Grandpa left the room to go make tea, and because he already knew everything and couldn't bare hear it again. What Marik did was just too horrific to hear twice. The room fell silent as Yugi calmed himself and the three teens sat around him ready to comfort him if needed.

"I was rebelling against grandpa. He never told me anything about my parents, where they were, what they were like, why they hadn't come back to get me. I decided I'd no longer be the goody two shoes and rebel by staying out late, coming home drunk, picking fights. I wasn't very good at it. The guilt began to eat me alive whenever I saw Grandpa after waking up with a hangover, so, I decided to just never go back, That's when I met Marik through, a group I'd been hanging with who were aiding me in my rebellious stage. In the beginning all he did was give me a place to stay and we became 'friends'. We drank beer... got trashed and... we did drugs, a few of the members of our group even overdosed." Yugi began shivering as he spoke, he didn't want to remember all this, it was scary, it was wrong and it made him feel dirty. When he was doing all this, at the time it filled him with adrenaline but now he wished he could wash off all that had happened, forget it like it was just a bad dream.

"Yugi..." Joey spoke softly as he put his hand on Yugi's shoulder, tears welled up in Yugi's eyes again but he wiped them away and carried on telling them what had happened.

"On-one day, Marik came back to the house we were both hiding at, he seemed... different, like he had become a completely different person. He was completely out of it, high as a kite, and still drinking a large bottle of vodka mixed with various other alcohols. I was worried he'd die from his drinking and the drugs so I asked to have a sip of the alcohol and drank it all... I wasn't completely trashed. I'd built up a resistance from all the times I had gotten wasted. Marik came onto me, and he wasn't taking a no for an answer..." Yugi's voice cracked as he spoke and tears streamed down his face, he couldn't carry on. It was too difficult, His body shivered vigorously and Yami pulled him into his lap and held him close.

"You don't have to tell us anything else Yugi, It's alright, it's okay" Yami whispered in Yugi's ear as he stroked Yugi's head trying to calm him, soon Yugi had fallen back asleep cuddled up to Yami and Yami held Yugi close to him not wanting to let him go. Yami looked at Joey and Tristan who had sat quietly as they silently watched Yugi and Yami together,

"Yami. do you by any chance.." Joey began but trailed off not wanting to finish his sentence.

"Joey. Tristan. Now you know what happened are you going to abandon him? I'm sure as hell am not. I know exactly what he has been through and he does not need people like Tea around him. He needs people to support him now no matter what he has done in the past. If you plan on abandoning him do it now before he can self destruct himself" Yami said not looking their direction, he looked down at Yugi's sleeping face and brushed away a stray strand of his spiky hair from his face. He won't let anyone take his light away from him, not now, not ever. And he definitely will never hand him over to Marik. Over his dead body would Marik get his Yugi.
