Please Don't Go

Yugi sighed as he watched Yami once again get ready for a party. He wasn't sure what it was but lately the man would get home from work, dress in some leather, and then leave. Sometimes he wouldn't even come back at night.

To say Yugi was worried was an understatement. He was sure Yami wasn't cheating on him, unless it was possible to cheat on someone with alcohol. Then he was.

Yugi shook his head at his thoughts and laid down on his bed as he continued to stare at his boyfriend. Yami and Yugi attended the same high school and last year Yami confessed to Yugi he loved him and Yugi told him he returned the man's feeling.

They graduated not to long after and decided to get a little apartment together. And ever since then Yami had developed this…. Habit. And it was really starting to worry him. When the man did come home he reeked of beer and cigars or sometimes even something Yugi couldn't identify. And when he didn't come home he would come back from work and be in a terrible mood, sometimes even yelling at him.

By this point Yugi didn't know what to do. He knew Yami needed help but every time he confronted him Yami would lie. And that hurt more than anything else.

When Yami turned back around after getting changed Yugi sat up on the bed and cast sad eyes to his so called boyfriend.

"Yami…. Do you have to leave again…. I was hoping we….could….. I don't know…" The small boy looked down to his lap and used his bangs to hide his face. "….Hang out.. like we used to."

Yami shook his head and adjusted the cuffs on his wrists. "I have to go out Yugi. Maybe some other time."

Tears brimmed the young ones eyes but he nodded his head in acceptance and bit back the tears "Okay Yami I understand."

He kept his head down as he listened to Yami's feet walk to the door and then down the stairs. He waited till he heard the main door click shut and then let his tears roll down his cheeks.

Alone….. that's what he felt every time this happened. He could call Joey or Tristan, maybe even Duke.. but it wasn't the same. Yami was supposed to be his boyfriend, the one who was always there for him like he was going to be there for Yami. And he tried to be he really did but the man…. Just wouldn't let him.

'How do you help someone who doesn't want help!?' Yugi screamed in his head before falling on his side on the bed and pulling his knees to his chest and wrapping is arms around them. His petite form shook as he sobbed into them.

This was what usually happened every time Yami left. It would leave and empty feeling in him and he would just snap and cry so hard it would eventually tire him out and he would fall asleep.

His sobs slowed slightly and turned into hiccups just as darkness took over and he slowly wandered off into dream land.

-morning-

Yugi groaned as the sunlight hit his eyes. He opened them slowly and groaned again as he felt a throbbing in his skull. He hated this it made him feel like he was hung over.

He rolled out of the bad and slipped on his slippers and then started out his door and down the stairs. Once he was at the bottom step he walked into the living room and sighed.

There sprawled out on the couch was his boyfriend. His head buried in the pillow to keep the sunlight out. He sighed as he walked over and poked Yami. The man groaned and shooed him away and Yugi just poked him again.

"Yami we need to talk."

There was a light groan and a mumbled, 'go away'.

"No Yami, I am no leaving. Wake up."

This time Yami sighed and sat and looked to Yugi. "What is it?"

Yugi sighed and went to the couch across from Yami and sat down. He fidgeted slightly feeling Yami's eyes on him. He swallowed thickly and took a deep breath before looking up and letting his eyes connect with Yami's. "This… needs to stop…. You need to stop going out drinking Yami… you need to find help."

He watched red hot anger flash though Yami's eyes and the man shot up onto his feel making Yugi flinch slightly.

"You have no right to tell me what I can and cannot do Yugi. You are just my boyfriend."

Yugi's eyes widened at the last remark and tears once again filled his eyes. He got up to his feet slowly and his hands clenched into fists at his side. "I didn't know I was just your boyfriend." He turned on his heals as a few tears slipped out of his eyes and down his cheeks.

He bolted up stairs and slammed the door behind him and went to the closet and grabbed one of his suit cases.

He heard footsteps on the stairs as he ripped cloths from his dresser and tossed them toward the bed, his tears now making his vision blurry and hard to aim correctly.

He rubbed his eyes as the door opened and Yami walked in. His brows furrowed at the suit case and scattered cloths on the bed and then at his frantic moving boyfriend. "Yugi…what are you doing?"

Yugi moved to the bed with the last bit of his cloths and started to fold them and tuck them into the suit case. "What does it look like Yami…" He shoved a shirt into the case and rubbed his eyes again. "I am not staying here."

Yami's eyes widened at the words that seemed to shove a spike through his heart and froze him in place. He watched Yugi fold the last of his cloths and shove them into the bag and then zip it up. He draped the bag over his shoulder and turned to Yami.

He took a deep breath and walked over to him and then around him to get out the door. He wasn't shocked when Yami didn't move to stop him although it did rip his heart even more. He shook his head and bit his lip to keep from crying again as he walked down the stairs.

He reached the door and put a hand on it to turn the knob only to hear rapid footsteps come running down the stairs and behind him. His eyes widen when Yami's hand slammed onto the door and held it shut.

He could feel Yami's breath on the back of his neck as the man panted and it made a shiver run down his spine. "Yu-Yugi…. Ple-please….don't do this…."

Yugi's eyes widened at the soft plea and he once again dropped his head as his body started to shake. He didn't want to leave he really didn't. He loved Yami… more than life its self… But he couldn't take living like this anymore! Waiting for Yami to come home only for him to come home drunk or not even come home at all! It was driving him insane!

"Yami… I c-cant continue t-to live l-like this…. Not kno-knowing if y-your g-going to c-come home…. N-not spe-spending t-time with y-you…. IT'S JUST TO MUCH!"

He felt himself once again break into heavy sobs and his heart break when Yami didn't move or speak. He moved Yami's hand off the door and opened it slowly only for the hand to once again appear and slam the door shut. A arm snaked around his waist and pulled him against a chest that shook lightly as if it was crying to.

"Hikari…" Yami paused when Yugi stiffened at the nickname and he pulled his closer slightly. "…Please forgive me I love you I don't want to lose you."

Yugi felt tears slip down his neck from Yami's tears and it made his heart hurt even more. He swallowed the lump in his throat and kept his vice low. "Will you stop drinking?"

There was silence and that was all Yugi needed for an answer. He shook himself from Yami's arms and once again grasped the handle of the door. He looked back when he heard a thud and his eyes widened when he saw Yami on his knees looking….broken…. Tears flowing down his cheeks and his hands clenched into fists on the ground.

When the man looked up and his crimson eyes connected with Yugi's amethyst he spoke. "If you walk out that door I will know it's really over… please Yugi…..don't go."

His voice hit Yugi hard in the heart as it sounded so cold and empty. He shook his head and wiped away his tears. "I can't stay….. I can't live this life anymore Yami… our love is a lie…. You love parties and alcohol more then you love me and I can't live with that…. Please get the help you need before something terrible happens…." With that said he turned to the door and opened it, walking out and closing it softly behind him.

Yami watched the door close and he dropped his head as tears flowed freely down his cheeks and he whispered out to nothing. "Something terrible already happened."
