Starry Skies

Chapter 4

Going out

It was about three in the afternoon, when the four sitting in Yami's house began to get bored. Joey sighed "isn't there anything we can do?"

"Well, I don't need to be here until about seven, so we have four hours to do something before I change again" Yami said, staring blankly at the T.V.

"Sounds good" Joey said getting up and stretching. "Let's go do something." Joey turned back towards the chair Yami was sitting in. "Hey! Where'd he go?"

"He left while you were standing up Puppy, don't you pay attention?" Seto said.

Yugi giggled "Yami said he needed to go get dressed."

"Wha'? Why didn't I hear 'im?" Joey asked.

"I dunno" Yugi shrugged.

Yami came walking back down a few minutes later. He was dressed in dark blue leather pants, a white untucked, button up dress shirt, the top two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He had on a black choker, black wrist bands, black boots with silver belt designs on them, black belts around his hips, one through the belt loops, the other hanging loosely on his hips, his earrings glittering when the light hit them, he had sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was currently combing his hair back.

Yami froze on the stairs when he felt people staring at him. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nope, just admiring how good you look" Yugi said winking with a grin.

"I'm going to punch that grin off your face" Yami said narrowing his eyes at Yugi.

"You told me that this morning when you fell out of bed because I 'scared you' as you said" Yugi said using air quotes.

"Really Yugi? Air quotes? Do people still do those?" Yami asked, his eyes still narrowed, but a brow was raised.

"I dunno, just seemed like the thing to do there" Yugi said shrugging.

"You are... Something else" Yami said shaking his head. Yugi grinned. "And there goes the grin again" Yami said smiling at Yugi.

Yami continued walking down the stairs combing his hair back. He put his comb down in the bathroom, and kept walking. He grabbed his keys off the table and started towards the back door. "Okay you guys ready?"

"Well, it's not like we had any clothes or anythin" Joey said.

"Right, I'll run you by where ever you need to go to get clothes" Yami said winking.

The four of them left, Yami stopped at Joey and Seto's place first. He and Yugi sat in the truck and waited for the two of them. Yugi climbed up in the front seat to talk to Yami while they waited. Yami leaned his seat back and folded his arms behind his head.

"Yami?" Yugi asked.

"Hm?" Yami hummed his eyes closed.

"Um, doesn't Seto have a little brother?"

"Yep."

"Where is he at?"

"Away on business with Seto's father."

"Oh."

Yami opened his right eye and looked Yugi up and down. "Why don't you tell me what's really bothering you" Yami said opening his eyes halfway and looking at Yugi.

"Huh?" Yugi blushed "Uh, n-nothing is, uh bothering me" Yugi swallowed hard "Wh-Why would you think something is bothering me?"

"Your body language says a lot for one. For two, you said um before you asked your question, which proves that that wasn't the question you really wanted to ask... Need I go on?"

"Uh... No..." Yugi looked over to his right and out the window. "No you do not need to go on."

"So" Yami grunted as he sat his seat back up. "What's on your mind?"

"It.. It's just..." Yugi turned back towards Yami. "How can we be so certain that those men won't come back? Joey and I are witnesses to their almost-crime. If they find us, they'll kill us."

Yami looked at Yugi and studied him for a minute. Yugi looked as if he were about to cry. Yami looked at Yugi seriously and grabbed Yugi's left hand with his right right. Yugi looked at their hands then looked at Yami, he noticed how serious Yami was. "Because I'll protect you Yugi. Seto wasn't lying that day, and I plan on sticking to my word. I'm going to protect you guys from those two men. No matter what the risks."

"Yami..." Yugi said quietly, the pink blush was still on his face.

"Alright Yami, we're ready to go" Joey said climbing in the back seat. Yami quickly let go of Yugi's hand so Joey and Seto wouldn't see them. Yugi held his left hand with his right hand, already missing Yami holding his hand.

Once Seto and Joey were in, Yugi gave Yami directions to his house. Once there, Yugi got out and went upstairs to get ready. Yami leaned his seat back once again, desperate to get some kind of sleep before tonight came. He didn't want to be as exhausted as he was this morning when seven a.m. rolled around. Yami closed his eyes and began to doze off. A few minutes later he felt hands on the back of his seat. When he opened his eyes he came face to face with Joey. Yami's relaxed lips turned into a frown, he narrowed his eyes and raised his left eyebrow. "Is there something I can help you with Mr. Wheeler?"

"Nah, not really."

"Then mind telling me why you woke me up?"

"Jus' tell me somethin Yami."

"What?" Yami asked closing his eyes once again.

"What do you really feel towards my best bud?"

Yami opened his eyes halfway. "Why does it matter Joey?"

"Because, I see how happy you are when he's around. How cranky you act when he annoys you-"

"Yugi doesn't annoy me..."

"So you DO feel somethin for 'im.."

Yami stayed quiet for a while. Joey opened his mouth to say something. "I don't know Joey" Yami finally said. "I dunno what I feel, all I know is, love doesn't happen for someone like me. And I'm not going to start believing that it will."

Joey was fixing to say something again, but just then Yugi climbed in. The spikes of his hair were a little droopy from being wet. "It is s-s-so fre-freak-ing c-c-cold o-ou-t-t th-ther-ere..." Yugi said shivering.

Yami smiled and chuckled, shaking his head. "Heat helps." He reached forward and turned on the heat in the truck. "You know, the clue is, to wait until night time when you're already inside and not planning on going out anywhere before you get a shower in this kind of weather."

"Y-You wa-wan-na kn-know wh-what th-the next cl-clue is?" Yugi tried to threaten, but his chattering teeth just made it funny.

"You're not very threatening when you're trembling like a leaf" Yami said chuckling.

"Sh-sh-ut u-up!" Yugi glared at Yami, as best that his trembling little body would let him.

Yami busted out laughing "You're so funny when you try to be threatening. One, your eyes are to innocent to be anywhere near threatening. Two, chattering and shaking like a leaf isn't really intimidating. And three, you're short, there really isn't much that you can do to me."

"A-an-d f-fiv-ve, sh-shu-t u-up a-an-nd dr-dri-ve do-wn th-the ro-ad..." Yugi was beginning to warm up, but he just couldn't get warm enough.

Yami smiled over at Yugi and reached across him to his door. "Wh-wha-at ar-re yo-you do-ing?" Yugi asked.

"Helping you, now shut up." Yami clicked a button on the door and a few lights came on.

"Do-n't te-tell m-m-me t-t-to sh-ut-" Yugi stopped once he felt his seat warm up.

"Better?" Yami asked.

"B-bet-ter" Yugi said, he closed his eyes and relaxed.

"Good, now get your seat belt on."

"I don wanna" Yugi mumbled. He was so comfy, warm, and relaxed right now, his whole body felt like goo.

Yami groaned and reached across Yugi. He pulled his seatbelt down and around him, and fastened him in. "There. Jeeze."

Yugi stuck his tongue out at Yami. He went to pull his tongue back in but the tip of it still remained out. Yugi hadn't realized how tired he really was.

"Hey Yug! Isn't that Ryou and Malik?" Joey asked.

"Where?" Yugi asked sitting up in his seat.

"Well, that didn't take much" Yami mumbled earning him an elbow in his arm. "Hey!"

"I heard that" Yugi said quietly.

Yami smiled and shook his head "Of course you did..."

"Hey, that is them. Yami, pull over right there!" Yugi said pointing to an empty spot along the side of the road.

Yami sighed and pulled over, he picked up his pop and took a drink. "Hey bitches!" Yugi yelled. Yami swallowed the pop in his mouth and started coughing and choking. Yugi turned towards Yami and saw the smile on his face. "Are you okay?" Yami gave Yugi a thumbs up, still coughing. Once he had quit coughing he put his face in his hands and started laughing. "What is wrong with you?" Yami just shook his head.

"Hey Yugi!" Ryou said in his british accent.

"Hi Yugi!" Malik said waving at his friend.

"Hey you guys!" Joey yelled from the back seat.

"What are you guys up to?" Yugi asked.

"Not much, just walking around, looking for something to do" Ryou said.

"Who's the hottie with the body over there in the driver seat Yugi?" Malik said in a teasing tone.

Yugi blushed. "Th-this is Yami you guys. Yami, this is Ryou and Malik."

Yami still had a smile on his face and was barely able to control his laughter, so he just waved.

"What is so funny?" Yugi asked, he was so confused.

Yami leaned his head back on his seat and looked out his window, he started laughing again. He just kept laughing quietly and shaking his head.

Yugi did a pouty face "I have no idea what he is laughing at. Anyway. I love your new coat Ryou."

"Really? Well thank you Yugi. Malik said it looks feminine." Ryou was wearing a long grey, fleece button up coat, with a blue scarf around his neck, light blue blue jeans, and white sneakers.

"I don't think it looks feminine. It looks fine on you" Yugi said smiling.

Ryou turned to Malik and stuck his tongue out. "Told you so."

Malik narrowed his eyes at Ryou "How about I punch you in the kidneys, then we'll see who's telling who."

"Hm?" Ryou was looking towards Yami "Yugi, did your friend over there fall asleep?"

"Huh?" Yugi looked over at Yami, he had his arms crossed behind his head, and it looked like his eyes were closed.

"Should he be driving with how tired he looks?" Malik asked.

"Looking tired and being tired are two different things" Yami said making them all jump. "A closer look would've shown you my eyes weren't completely shut. I was just looking down."

"Wow, hot bod, and a hot voice." Malik said, he leaned into Yugi and whispered in his ear "Better not let this one get away..."

Yugi looked at Malik, his eyes wide. Malik stuck out his tongue and winked. "Not funny Malik.. Just not funny."

"Why don't we all go shopping? Serenity, Tristan and Tea are all waiting for us in the mall by the fountain" Ryou said.

"Sounds good. What do you say Yami?" Yugi asked turning to Yami.

Yami looked at Yugi out of the corner of his eye, his brows furrowed and a frown on his face. Yugi gave him puppy dog eyes and Yami rolled his eyes. "Fine. Just stop looking at me like that" Yami groaned.

Yugi grinned "Yay!"

"And there goes the grin" Yami mumbled shutting his truck off and rolling up Yugi's window.

Yugi winked at Yami and Yami raised a brow. The friends all piled out of Yami's truck, Yami locking it as he walked away. Yami put his sunglasses down and his hands in his pockets. Yugi smiled up at Yami as they walked down the sidewalk towards the mall. Yami couldn't help but smile back. "So, are you going to tell me what you were laughing at earlier?" Yugi asked.

"I've just never heard you cuss before, I thought it was funny" Yami said smiling.

"I cussed?" Yugi asked. He thought back for a minute "Ohhh! I said hey bitches didn't I?"

Yami laughed quietly "Oh my Ra... Wow..." Yami shook his head "You truely are, somethin' else Yugi."

Yugi grinned and giggled "I know." Yugi slowly wrapped his arm around Yami's. Yami bent his elbow so Yugi could get a better hold on it. Yugi smiled up at him and Yami smiled back.

'Yeah. Love sure doesn't exist for you' Yami rolled his eyes mentally at the voice in his head. 'It's just holding on to me, it's not like we're together or anything...' 'Think what you will...' the voice sang in his head.

Me: lol Yami has voices in his head XD A lot like me when I'm super duper sleepy XD rofl! So... There was a blizzard, and I'm trapped inside. That's good news for you guys though, because that means that you guys will get more updates once I'm able to get internet XD Until next time *waves* goodbye! :)
