Here is chapter three of this story.

Warnings: a small lemon and mild cussing

I don't know the technical term for the fear of leaving the home; I just started taking Psychology so maybe I'll learn about it. Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I started my senior year two days ago, so far it's okay but they haven't turned on the air conditioner yet so it's very hot in the classrooms…

On with the fic!

Little Hands Fit in My Own

Chapter Three

Yami sat on the balcony of his and Jou's apartment since was now living with the blond due to his very strong case of fear of leaving the home without Jou being around him. Said person happened to be trying to apply for another job since his last newspaper one didn't work out after he ended up crashing his bike in the rain last week and got all the newspapers he had wet, he was fired for stupidity. He was now trying to work for another newspaper in town since it was a good job that paid well, and he knew his whole way around the city so it would be a breeze to start on a new route.

A soft sigh came from the Pharaoh as he touched the healed cut on his head that left a very faint scar that he could just cover with his now smoothed-out bangs that hung in his face and in front of his eyes. He didn't mind his new hair at all, Jou had helped styled it like that and said it made Yami look cute.

A sudden blush came to Yami's face and he rubbed his hands in his hair, freaking out. "No! Atemu Yami Mouto! You stop thinking about your friend like that this instant!" But with a sigh, Yami removed his hands from his head and looked at them. "But I can't… he saved my life, he looks after me, he takes care of me… he treats me like nothing ever happened… and… I already like him…" He stopped and held an annoyed expression of his face.

"And… you're talking to yourself, not like you don't have any other mental disorders your highness." He rolled his eyes.

Yami bit his lip before letting out a growl in annoyance, but looked up when he heard a knock at the door. Walking over to it, he looked through the peep hole and saw the all-to familiar mess of blond hair. Yami opened the door and Jou held up a shopping bag.

"Sorry it took so long, I got the job and I decided we should celebrate with a nice dinner." Jou smiled and Yami blushed lightly and nodded, following Jou into the kitchen to help him cook since he wanted to learn how to.

"So, how are you feeling today? Are you still a little tender?" Jou asked when he took out a pan to place the chicken breasts he got into it as Yami took out a cutting board, knife, and carrots since the blond told him to cut them up.

"Nothing hurts that bad right now, except for the scar on my hip and chest, but that will hurt for a bit until it's fully closed, right?" Yami asked as he started to peel before cutting.

Jou nodded. "Yeah, it will but with how fast you've heal, the pain will probably be gone by next week or so." The blond replied, after washing his hands and getting to work at his task at hand.

"So, with this new newspaper job, I won't see you in the mornings when I wake up again..?" Yami mumbled, since he had been here, he had been sleeping in the same bed as Jou since the couch was too hard on his wounds and he was afraid of the dark, it made him think of that night.

"Hmm?" Jou blinked before grinning. "It's only on Saturday and Sunday that I have to do it, thought because it is only those days I have to go all around the city's neighborhoods to deliver the paper, but with my record speed on a bike and my experience, it will be about a two hour trip, less if I do it right. So don't worry Yami, I'll be here when you wake up, I don't want you having another panic attack."

A week after the incident, Jou left for work early to deliver papers since the week before he had asked for a few days off to help Yami. When he came back, Yami had been sobbing and freaking out, wondering what had happened to the blond and saying he thought he had gotten taken away. Jou just held him close and told him where he had gone and not to worry.

Yami nodded in response and carried on his task before him. That evening they enjoyed a delicious meal of seasoned chicken with vegetable stew on the side since this was about the only thing Yami could cook without thinking he messed up. After dinner, they decided to watch a movie, it being Watchmen since Jou loved the works of Alan Moore and was a DC fan for life.

Yami thought the movie was good but he ended up falling asleep during the scene where Nite Owl and Silk Specter were having sex inside of Archie the ship. (AN: My sister and I skipped this scene, we wanted to see Nite Owl and Rorschach together in a scene. XD)

Jou noticed that his friend was asleep and noticed how cute he was when he wasn't being stressed out or worrying over where the blond went. He understood that Yami was scared, he was like that a month after his parent's divorced and Jou thought that he would be taken away as well, but his dad comforted him and told him not to worry, that was back before his dad became an alcoholic and ruined Jou's life.

'Well, he didn't actually ruin all of it…' Jou smiled to himself, stroking Yami's cheek softly and watching as he nuzzled his hand. 'Yami, if it hadn't been for my dad, I probably wouldn't have met you, and if I hadn't have met you, I'd still be the bastard I was just three years ago… I want to tell you I love you but I don't think I can…'

"Jou?"

The blond blinked and looked down to notice that Yami was now waking up and looking at him. "Is the movie over…? Sorry, I fell asleep and… is something wrong?" He noticed that Jou had a bit of a distant look on his face.

"Nah… just thinking about something…"

"You can talk to me about it if you want; it looks like it's troubling you."

"No Yami, I really don't want to talk about it right now…"

"Jounouchi, I said the exact same bull shit when I was at my worst, and yet I told you anyway to get it off my chest, now you do the same." Yami sat up and crossed his arms; he had, in fact, told Jou what happened but only Jou since he didn't want to tell the others just yet.

Jou growled slightly and turned to Yami, looking him straight in his crimson-eyes. "I like you! I really like you, alright?!" He barked, his face red in embarrassment.

Yami blinked and stared right at him, a blush forming on his cheeks. "You… like me…? Oh my…"

"See, this is why I didn't want to tell you! I knew it was stupid and I bet you don't even like me like that too, I don't even know what sexuality you are!"

"Jou, it's pretty obvious what sexuality I am. Do you honestly think that there is a straight man out there who wears leather on a daily bases, not just at Chip and Dale shows, and spends a lot of time on his looks and keeps a very thin body with female features? And no, I'm not a metro sexual, I'm a homosexual."

Jou blinked and just looked at him, mouth agape. "Wow. There goes my metro theory out the window. So… you accept my feelings for you?"

"Yes, but not because of what I am. I…" Yami sighed, "I've always liked you Jou, I mean, at first when I was just a soul inside the puzzle, I was upset that you threw a piece of my home at the time into a pool, but when you fished it out and gave it to Yugi and showing that you were truly a good person, I felt that it was a kind gesture and over the years with all the games, duels, and adventures, I fell for you. And… when you came to my rescue that night… it sealed the deal." Yami's whole face turned red and he buried his face into his hands before Jou could reply.

"Oh my Temu! I feel like an idiot right now!" He groaned. "I bet you only have a puppy, no pun intended, crush on me, and here I am, pouring my heart out to a guy who has a two shelves in his video selection devoted to male-female pornography!"

Jou only laughed at this. "Yami, first of all, most of that is my dad's and second, I really do like you, a whole lot. Sure, I'm straight as a line and you're as straight as a circle, but that doesn't mean we can't have something. You see, sometimes guys happen to like a certain person of their gender, but only this one person. Though it would seem they are bi, they are not because they still like the opposite gender. I'm this kinda guy, but I like you more then anyone else."

"What about Mai? I thought you liked her." Yami blinked.

"In a big sister kinda way, I told her this before she left Domino after Battle City. I wanted her to know that I cared about her but I wasn't in love with her like she thought I was. She laughed and said she saw me as an annoying but caring little brother."

"Oh." The room was quiet for a moment, saved for the music coming from the menu screen of the DVD. Yami then turned to Jou and blushed. "You know… I've only been alive for so long, what with me coming to life a year ago… I've never actually had a first kiss." His hand reached out and took Jou's hand in his own, giving a soft squeeze which was returned.

"I think I can help you with that." Jou replied and leaned down, kissing Yami very softly, tenderly. The kiss lasted for a moment before they pulled away and looked at each other before kissing in a much more passionate way.

Before they knew it, they ran into Jou's room and Jou had Yami lying on the bed as he began to remove the other's shirt after sucking and kissing his neck a few times, hearing the yummy moans of the ex-king. But when he got the shirt over Yami's head, the other tried to cover himself up.

"What's wrong?" Jou blinked.

"I… don't want you to see me like this…" Jou only smiled and removed Yami's arms from across his body and studied the scars that could be seen. There was the very long and most obvious scar on Yami's body, followed closely by smaller ones that would fade with time and wouldn't really be seen.

He leaned down and started to kiss up the scar that started at the hip and ended at his chest. "Yami, I don't care if you have scars, I think you are still beautiful but… I need to know, do you want to rush into this? You have been on edge lately."

"Jou… Katsuya… I just want you, and only you, that will make me happy, that is what I want." Yami responded, blushing as he did and Jou only smiled before kissing him on the lips again. Yami only wanted one person to ever touch him like this, and that person was kissing him right now.

Loud pants and moans were heard in the room, along with the distinct sound of a bed creaking as Jou held onto Yami's waist, raising his ass into the air as he pumped into him, with Yami gripping the sheets, moaning the name of the blond.

Small cries came from Yami has he felt his prostate getting hit by Jou. "Yami… you're so tight…" Jou groaned, thrusting in again.

"Katsuya… I'm not gonna last…" Yami groaned, squeezing the sheets and closing his eyes.

"Then cum…" Jou spoke softly, striking Yami right into the bundle of nerves, making Yami cry out as he came hard onto the sheets and collapsed. Jou soon came inside of him and pulled out. Yami panted hard and Jou picked him up carefully, laying him on one side of the bed as he lay behind him in the spooning position.

"You okay?" Jou asked softly, petting Yami's hair and the other nodded. Yami rolled over and smiled at him before nuzzling against Jou's chest, letting out a small purr.

"Thank you Katsuya… I love you."

"Love you too Yami." Jou smiled and held Yami to his chest, the smaller falling asleep in his arms.

A month went by and Yami sat in the living room with Dr. Choi and Yugi with the doctor examining him, Jou had to take someone's shift at the convenience store so he wasn't at the apartment so he had Yugi stay with Yami who had been sick for a few weeks now. Yami was lying on his back on the couch with Dr. Choi checking his stomach since Yami was still horrified about leaving the house without the blond and didn't want to go to the hospital.

"Hmm… Yami, something seems up with your stomach, it's not like it was when I last checked it for your bruises and I doubt this has to do with your previous wounds. I'm going to take a blood sample from you to rule out anything, alright? Hopefully it isn't a tumor or anything." Dr. Choi spoke as he pushed a bit on Yami's stomach, feeling that it was hard, not soft.

"Alright…" Yami pulled back the sleeve of his shirt a bit, if there was one thing that Yami hated more then anything in the world, it has to be needles though Yami's list of things he hated was long and usually changed with whatever was going on. He didn't look when Dr. Choi took a vial of blood and told him he would give him the results later that day.

That night, around six, just an hour before Jou would get home, Yami got a call and he almost dropped the phone when he heard Dr. Choi utter a sentence he thought he would never hear.

"Yami, I believe you are pregnant."

TBC

The lemon would have been longer but I have a bad headache and am not in a good thinking state right now. The movie Watchmen was mentioned because I just watched the director's cut with my sister the other night, that movie was awesome! *DC fan for life*

Why Jou and Yami rushed into the relationship: Well, these two love to take risks so they usually rush into things anyway, they already love one another, plus they are sexually active teens.

How Yami got pregnant: when a seme and a uke love each other very… wait, wrong one, well I think Yami can get pregnant from living in magical shadows for three thousand years and because his body was made by said shadows so it gave him some woman-parts on the inside, still a man on the outside!

Just a note to all people out there who write mpreg, stop having the person have girls! It's annoying! I'd prefer to see boys because it would be easier for two males to handle a little boy growing up rather then a girl, hence why I usually have the characters have girls. Plus we don't need anymore girls in the world, 51 per cent of the population of Earth is female and though I am a girl myself and never want to change that fact, I'm really tired of seeing baby girls, though if ever I have one I'll love her dearly.

I don't mean to be totally rude about that subject, but I'm just tired of it, now if its twins with one boy and one girl then hell, I'll keep my trap shut.
