Universal Love

Chapter 4

Saturday Nights

Yugi woke up around ten a.m. Saturday morning. He stretched and got up out of bed. He had enjoyed his first night here and slept like a baby. He got dressed and walked down the stairs. Everyone but Yami was up out of bed, unless Yami was in the kitchen...

"Morning everyone" Yugi greeted.

"Good morning Yugi, did you sleep well?" Mai asked.

"I did, thank you. Has Yami woke up yet?"

"Not yet, give it about thirty minutes, he'll be up soon" Seto said walking in from the kitchen.

"There's cereal in the kitchen Yugi, there's also some eggs, pancake mix, stuff for french toast, help yourself" Duke said walking over and sitting next to Tristan on the couch.

"Okay, thanks" Yugi walked over and into the kitchen. He started humming while he got out a bowl and some cereal. Once he poured the cereal in the bowl he returned the box to the cupboard, then he went to fridge for the milk, humming the whole way.

When he turned around with the milk he caught sight of someone. "Lively tune you got there" Yami said smiling. Yugi almost dropped the milk, Yami stepped forward and caught it. "Careful there, you'll make a mess." Yugi blushed at how close they were. "You should continue humming your little tune, it's very relaxing."

"Are you always this flirtatious?" Yugi asked.

"Is flirtatious a word?" Yami chuckled.

"It's my word."

"I thought so. And no, I'm not usually this flirtatious. You just catch my eye."

"I see. And you like my humming?"

"I do, it's very calming."

Yugi giggled a little, and continued humming his tune. He stepped to the right and walked around Yami, Yami watching him out of the corner of his eye until he was out of sight. Once out of sight, Yami looked forward and smiled. "You're a very hard man to figure out Mr. Motou. I'll give you that" Yami whispered.

"Did you say something Yami?" Yugi asked.

"Nope, nothing at all." Yami stretched and yawned, wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"You still look sleepy" Yugi said as he brought the milk back to the fridge.

"I feel pretty tired still, so yeah..." Yami shook his head trying to get the sleep from his head.

"Yami? Are you feeling okay?" Yugi noticed how red Yami's face was, and how tired he looked.

"I'm okay-" Yugi put his hand to Yami's forehead.

"Yami! You're burning up!"

Yami sighed. "Yugi, please don't make a big deal about this. I've had a fever off and on for a few days now. I've been keeping it down enough, but I guess this exhaustion has gotten the best of me."

"Yami, you're going to end up really sick and in the hospital" Yugi whispered.

"I know, I'm trying so hard to keep my fever down so that I can continue to work" Yami looked down at the floor "But now I'm just to sick."

Yugi smiled at Yami "C'mon, let's get you some soup and get you back to bed" he said quietly.

Yami looked at Yugi and smiled "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Yugi fixed Yami a bowl of soup and then sat and ate with him. "I can't believe it's already September" Yami groaned.

Yugi giggled "It is fall Yami. What's wrong with September?"

"Nothing's wrong with it, just can't believe its here already. Seems like only yesterday it was March..." The bags under Yami's eyes were becoming more appearant, his eyes were half lidded, and he had a bored look on his face.

"Yami, you'll tell me if you start feeling worse right?" Yugi was looking at Yami, a worried expression on his face.

Yami looked over at Yugi and smiled a small smile. "Yeah, I'll let you know if I feel worse."

"Your voice is sounding hoarse Yami..."

"I know. It's just because I'm tired is all."

Yugi finished his cereal and took it over to the sink. He washed his bowl and spoon and put it on the towel on the counter. He walked back over to Yami who had just finished his soup. He picked up Yami's bowl and took it over to the sink. "Oh, Yugi, don't wash my dishes, I'll get them."

"It's fine, you're sick, and I'm taking care of you." Yugi washed the bowl and spoon Yami had been eating with and placed them on the towel with his bowl and spoon. He then reached up in the cupboard and pulled down a big bowl. He filled the bowl with water and grabbed a rag out of the drawer next to the sink. He held onto the bowl with his left arm and guided Yami with his right.

"Yugi, you really don't have to hold on to me."

"Just hush it mister, we're going to your room." They walked out of the kitchen and into the common room.

"Yami are you okay?" Mai asked.

"I'm fine, my little nurse here says I'm going back to bed though."

Mai smiled at Yugi and Yugi winked back. "Take good care of him Yugi" Mai said.

"I will Mai, don't worry."

Yugi helped Yami up the steps and into his room. He guided him over to his bed, making him lay down and covering him up. "Yugi, you really don't have to do this."

"I know, I want to." Yugi said wringing out the rag from the bowl. He turned and placed it on Yami's head, gently.

Yami looked at Yugi out of the corners of his eyes and smiled. "Thank you Yugi."

Yugi smiled and put his hand on the rag on Yami's forehead. "Close your eyes" Yugi whispered. Yami looked at Yugi one more time then looked towards the foot of his bed, blinked once and closed his eyes. Yugi started humming the tune from earlier. He noticed a smile cross Yami's face once he began his tune. Yugi continued humming and ran a hand through Yami's hair. A few minutes later Yami was in a deep sleep, but Yugi didn't leave his side. He saw a chair in the corner of the room.

Yugi sat the chair next to Yami's bed and sat in it. He then started to look around the room. Yami's room was pretty basic, nothing really special. He noticed that Yami didn't have any pictures of his family anywhere. Yami's room was painted red with white trim, the door was also white. Other than a few differences Yami's room was just pretty basic, his blanket was a red fleece blanket with a black underside.

Yugi turned the chair around so he was facing the back. He crossed his arms on the back of the chair and laid his head on his arms. 'Sleep well Yami' Yugi thought as he closed his eyes.

Me: And there's the end to chapter 4 :) Poor Yami is sick, luckily he has his little nurse Yugi to take good care of him :) Remember to R&R everyone :)
