One week later: Yami's prove:
"Bakura are you sure we won't get caught?" Yami asked uneasily
"Chill Yami I've done this before, we won't get caught." Bakura said smirking. It was ten minutes past mid-night and they were breaking into the dean's office for the new boys transcripts
"Ok if you say so." Marik said picking the lock and opening the door
"Let's just find the folders." Seto muttered
"Stop being so boring you know you want to know about Joey." Bakura said mockingly
"Let's just find what we're looking for so we can get out of here." Yami said walking over to a file cabinet with his flashlight, finding what they were looking for, and closing the cabinet as they sat on the floor to look through the folders
Yugi's prove
Yugi sat on the desk Yami was sitting at rubbing his cheek
"Why can't we go out tonight?" Yugi asked still not understanding
"Because I have to go see my parents tonight we'll go out tomorrow." Yami answered patiently pulling him into his lap where Yugi snuggled closer to Yami before saying, "I'll be bored without you."
"Maybe this will help." Yami said inclining his head about to kiss him
Yugi jump up shaking himself from the dream, which had seemed so real that it had him sweating. Yugi rubbed a hand down his face and sat up so he could fully see his surroundings. When he realized he was still in the dorm room he and Joey shared he lay back down, but he knew he would not be able to go back to sleep. Somehow, the dreams about Yami kept getting worse. Yugi groaned and rolled onto his side. "I'm never going to be able to get any sleep." He thought afraid to close his eyes for the pictures waiting there.
Joey muttered something and turned over still asleep. Yugi sighed and climbed out of bed to get his journal off his nightstand, then sat and started writing
(6:30 a.m.)
Yugi stopped writing, got his clothes out, and left the room to go get in the showers where he ran into Yami
"Oh good morning Yugi." Yami said pausing
'G-Good morning Y-Yami, how are you?" Yugi asked
"I'm good and you?" Yami said looking at Yugi who had his bangs covering his face, which made Yami smirk he liked challenges
"Good." Yugi said stepping aside so Yami could go by "See you later." Yugi added walking to the restrooms
Yami smirked and walked away "Yes you will." Yami thought as he walked to where he was supposed to meet his friends.
Yami's prove
"About time where were you?" Bakura asked irritated
"I got side-tracked for a minute, what's with you?" Yami asked rolling his eyes
Bakura blushed then looked away "Nothing let's go." He said turning away from them
"Did he just…" Yami started "…blush?" Marik finished
Seto smirked, shook his head, and turned to Bakura who was still looking away "What are you up to?" he asked
"What are you talking about?" Bakura asked still not facing them
"You know what, what's with the blush?" Marik asked
"I don't know what you're talking about, but we got to go to class before we're late so come on." He said
"Wait a minute since when do you care if we're on time or not?" Yami demanded
Just then, Yugi and his friends passed by and could have sworn he saw Ryou wink at Bakura
"I don't now let's go." Bakura said after they disappeared into the class
"Ohhhh… I see now, its Ryou isn't it?"Yami asked teasingly
Bakura did not say anything he just started walking off and that was answer enough, so they followed laughing, until they got in the class and saw a new girl. Which Yugi and his friends apparently knew for they went pale as she introduce herself none of them in their seats, just standing their watching her like she was a snake and them the prey
When she was done introducing herself, she ran and gave Yugi a hug and he reluctantly hugged her back
"Oh Yugi I missed you so much, it's been so long we have a lot to catch up on." She said as soon as she released him
"Uhh… Hi Tea, I missed you too." he said looking to his friends for help, but found none. Tea saw this and sent a glare to them before smiling and turning back to Yugi who looked very uncomfortable, but smiled back politely
"So Yugi do you want to hang out tonight so we can do some catching up." She asked smiling
"I'm sorry Tea but I can't I already promised Malik and Joey we would hang out tonight." He answered rubbing his arm
"Oh ok Maybe next time then." She said to him before sending Joey and Malik a glare and going to sit beside Anzu
They all shook their heads and sat down except Yugi who whispered some to them then left the room before the teacher came in
"Any idea what that was about?" Yami asked
"Well you know Anzu? Your stalker?" Bakura asked
"Yeah?" Yami asked
"Well meet her cousin Tea, Yugi's stalker." Bakura stated simply
"Oh."Yami said turning around in his seat as Anzu turned to smile at him "why can't she get that I'm gay?" Yami thought looking at the front board before going to his professor's desk and asking to be excused just as all Yugi's friends did
When they were all outside, they went to find Yugi. They found him crying under a tree by the same rose bush he sat next to everyday
"Yugi what's wrong?" Ryou asked
Yugi stopped crying and wiped his face "My grandpa… he's sick and he might not make it." He said blankly
"Oh Yug. I'm sorry I'm sure he'll make it he's a strong person and…" Joey stopped and looked away
"Yeah and if he die what's another person right?" Yugi asked standing up, as he stood up a bloody blade fell out of his pocket
Everyone gasped
"Yugi! You promised you wouldn't do that anymore." Ryou exclaimed
"Now enough blood has been shed." Yugi said expressionlessly "I won't do it again." He added before walking away
Joey used a tissue to pick the blade up, Malik sat down and looked at the sky, and Ryou leaned on Bakura for support
"What now?" Marik asked
"I'll go find him." Yami said walking off as Marik sat down and took Malik's hand and Seto stood by Joey talking
An hour later: still Yami's prove
"Yugi why don't you tell your friends how you feel? I'm sure they want to know that you're ok." Yami said after he got Yugi to stop crying
"Before I answer that I have a question to ask you. Why don't you tell your friends that you want to drop out?" Yugi asked not really sure how to answer the question Yami asked him
"Because, they're not going to understand my reason." Yami said looking away
"And what reason is that?" Yugi asked curiously
"Nope answer my question." Yami said looking back at him
Yugi sighed, "I just figured if I hid my feelings they would go away, I was wrong they just made me feel worse." Yugi said shrugging and looking down
"Why are you so down?" Yami asked quietly
"Have you ever played Russian Roulette?" Yugi asked
"No." Yami answered simply
"Try being force to play that game and watch your family and friends get picked off the way mine did. And then a year later find out that my little sister was actually my daughter. Which I happened to have when I was eleven and don't even remember being raped by my own mother!" Yugi said in a disgusted tone
Yami gasped and stared at him "Who would do that to an angel like Yugi."He thought as he watched his lower lip start trembling and at that moment, all he wanted to do was take his mind off the pain, so Yami kissed him, Yugi gasped as Yami pulled him closer and moaned as he felt his tongue slide into his mouth…
