Chapter 6: Fluffy Nightmares (2,448 Words)

Gilfred and Griffin stayed for about an hour after Yuugi got off the phone with Ryou. The trio joked around and on more than one occasion did the two vampires get into a friendly brawl on the floor over what food was the best or what vampire was the hottest. Yuugi was more than amused to find that Griffin, Joey's look-a-like, found Seth, Kaiba's look-a-like, the most attractive. They left soon after the fourth argument to get some food for their growling stomachs. Vampires eat things other than just blood, Yuugi thought. Who knew?

Once the peace and quiet had returned to the bedroom, Yuugi decided to pick up the book again. He flipped back to the entries that he had been reading before, but this time, he didn't skim through any of them. Most of them rambled on about how King Avante ignored his kingly duties in favor for spending time with Killian. He sighed when he realized that these particular entries weren't going to give him any more information.

Only when a curt yawn escaped his mouth did Yuugi notice just how tired he was. He checked the time on his phone and winced when he saw that the afternoon was now mid-evening. Light still filtered softly into the room from the open balcony, and the dark red curtains fluttered gently in the calm breeze.

He fell back onto the bed from his sitting position. His head hit the silk pillows with a soft thud, and he attempted to continue reading the book. His mind was soon distracted by the comfort the bed offered him. It took him a minute to realize why he was so comfortable. The sheets and pillows smelled exclusively like Yami. The smoke and cinnamon scent wrapped around the boy's mind and rendered all thinking pointless and impossible.

I suppose a short nap wouldn't hurt anything, Yuugi mused quietly as he yawned again. Maybe Yami would allow me to spend the night here… A soft mewl came from his throat as he snuggled his head into the pillows and promptly fell asleep. The book laid heavily on his chest but not in an uncomfortable way. It was open to the eleventh entry; the last one he had read before Ryou called him.

Yami trudged tiredly back up to the third floor after seeing the final guest leave. The servants had finished cleaning up quicker than how they had set up, and Yami was grateful for that. Seth's temper had gone off about halfway through the meeting, so Yami had sent him to his room. Gilfred and Griffin had to be posted outside his door, that was a few doors down from where Yuugi was, to make sure Seth actually stayed put.

Everything was put away and clean, and the only people who were up were the ones who were double checking the rooms on the second floor to make sure all was well. You never know when someone might have placed a bugging device into one of them to spy out his secrets. You could never trust a vampire that wasn't bonded to you. Never.

He opened the door to his bedroom and stepped into the room. The wooden door closed silently behind him. The sky had long fallen to darkness, and the waning moon cast long shadowed into the room. A small figure laid peacefully in his bed, and Yami instantly recognized the owner of the frame to be his little Yuugi.

The young boy's breathing was light and deep, indicating that he had been asleep for at least an hour. His hands were placed on the open book that Yami had given him to read. Yami smirked upon seeing this. He was glad that Yuugi had picked up the book. He gently moved the boy's hands from it and looked at the open page. His eyebrows raised upon reading the entry, and he realized what Yuugi must have been looking for.

I'm glad he found this, he thought with a growing smirk. Yami went to place the book back onto its proper place before returning to stand by Yuugi's sleeping side. The moonlight made his already pale skin look like smoothly crafted porcelain, and it made his violet-tipped black hair gleam beautifully. Yami removed the glove from his hand and reached out to stroke the soft locks.

The conditioned strands fell through his fingers easily as he brushed through them. Yuugi stirred slightly but fell back under the spell of sleep as Yami continued to pet his head. A small smile graced the boy's lips as he uttered Yami's name quietly. Yami's vampiric hearing picked up the mumble, and he dropped his smirk for a genuine smile. Both corners of his lips turned upwards for what was the first time in a long while.

He traced Yuugi's jawline with his hand before caressing his cheek lovingly. After a moment more of watching Yuugi, he decided to change into something more comfortable. He walked over to his walk-in closet and quickly changed from his leather armor into a pair of dark gray sweatpants. He didn't bother with a shirt. Walking back out to his bed, he easily tucked Yuugi beneath the covers. He glanced at the clock that sat on the nightstand to see that it read ten-o' clock.

He already knew that waking Yuugi to take him home was off the table, so he grabbed the spare cell phone that he kept in his nightstand. He stepped back into the hallway to call Yuugi's Grandpa. Don't ask how the vampire prince got the phone number. After only two rings, an elderly voice sounded from the other end.

"Hello? Solomon Motou of the Kame Game Shop speaking. We're currently closed."

"Hello, Mr. Motou," Yami greeted casually. "I'm Yami, one of Yuugi's friends from school."

"Oh? Have you seen Yuugi then? He hasn't been to school today, and I'm worried about him."

"I assure you that he's fine. I needed help with some homework, and he offered to help out. I didn't know that it was going to take all day. I'm sorry for that, Mr. Motou," Yami lied smoothly. Like Hell would he ever be sorry for spending time with Yuugi.

Yuugi's Grandpa laughed heartily before replying, "That's my boy. He's always helping out a friend in need."

Yami allowed a laugh to escape into the phone. "Yes, I'd be quite lost without him. Since it's kind of late, I was going to have him stay over at my place for the night and have him home first thing tomorrow. Is that alright with you?"

"Oh, it's fine by me, m'boy. Have a good night," Solomon replied gratefully.

Yami returned the sentiment casually before ending the call. He stepped back into the bedroom to hear the sound of sheets rustling together. He looked towards Yuugi to find the boy shivering. Is he cold? Yami thought alarmed. In an instant, he was hovering over Yuugi's frame. His eyes were squeezed shut, and he would whimper every once in awhile. No, Yami suddenly realized, He's having a nightmare. He didn't know what to do. What did one do when someone was very obviously in need for some kind of comfort? Then it occurred to him. The answer was in the question; you comfort them.

He walked to the opposite side of the bed, placed the phone onto the nightstand, and pulled the sheets back so he could crawl in beside Yuugi. He gently pulled the young boy to his bare chest, and he wrapped his strong arms around him carefully. While he wasn't scared of being overly touchy with Yuugi while they were awake, he didn't want to scare the boy should he forget where he had fallen asleep. He thought that waking up in strange arms and place might traumatize the poor boy, and Yami didn't think he'd be able to take it if Yuugi were to stare at him with the wide scared eyes like he did the first time they had met.

Only upon hearing another whimper did Yami throw caution to the wind. He slowly brought Yuugi closer, and he allowed the dark light that surrounded him to rest around Yuugi's shivering frame. Yuugi's light violet eyes suddenly shot open. His breathing was quick and uneven. His small hands were placed against Yami's chest as if he were about to push away. "Yuugi?" Yami asked cautiously. He didn't want to spook him.

Yuugi's unfocused violet eyes focused onto Yami's face, and tears began to flood down his cheeks. His weak voice cracked when he said, "Yami…" Yami wasn't prepared for what would happen next. Yuugi threw his arms around the vampire lord's neck which forced Yami onto his back. Yuugi was straddling his hips as he bawled into Yami's neck. Yami's surprise at the action almost made him miss Yuugi's nearly incoherent words.

"Please don't leave me!" Before Yami could ask why he would think that, Yuugi sobbed loudly. Yami instinctively wrapped his arms around his whimpering body and extended the dark light so it captured them both in a sweet embrace. "P-Please… never leave me!"

"Yuugi," Yami began softly as his grip on him tightened possessively. "I'll never leave you. Why would you think such a thing?"

Yuugi sniffled. "You left. In my dream, you, Griffin, Gilfred, and Seth all left. You all just vanished into thin air, and I could do nothing to stop it." He sniffled pathetically again. His grip on Yami's neck tightened as he tried to hold back his tears.

"My little one," Yami said. He pulled Yuugi's head from his neck to look him in the eye. His light violet eyes were puffy from all his crying. Sadness and fear were the prevailing emotions that swirled in his shimmering eyes. "It was only just a dream. I would never leave you like that." He kissed away the tears the rolled down Yuugi's cheeks, and he ignored the pleasantly warm feeling that arose in his stomach as he did so. "Don't ever think that I would abandon you because I never will." He took Yuugi's damp face between his hands and stared into his eyes. He kept emphasizing the word 'never.' "Do you understand, Yuugi?"

Yuugi nodded before reburying his face into Yami's neck. Yami placed a hand on Yuugi's lower back and moved the other one to touch the back of his head. He had stopped his whimpering, but the boy was still shivering as if he were up against a block of ice. Yuugi laughed humorously as a thought unknown to Yami occurred to him. "Now I'm cold," he mumbled softly, but Yami heard him clearly since his ear was right beside Yuugi's mouth.

Yami didn't hesitate to summon one the servants. His dark violet eyes glowed red in the darkness of the room. The door came ajar slightly, and Yami sat up with Yuugi in his lap. He never released his protective grip from the boy. A maid was peeking into the room. Her own eyes were also glowing a bloody red. "Did you need something, my prince?" her soft, curious voice came from the doorway.

"Bring a couple of blankets," he commanded.

"Yes, milord."

The servant closed the door silently, and Yami turned his attention back to Yuugi. "You won't be cold for much longer, my little one," Yami promised, and Yuugi only nodded. He didn't trust his words right then. Within the next minute, the door opened and the maid brought a stack of blankets into the room. She held them out to Yami. He instantly took the top two and wrapped them around Yuugi's shoulders. The maid bowed, laid the remaining two at the foot of the bed, and quietly excused herself. Once again, she closed the door with the utmost quietness.

Yami fell back onto the mattress, pulling Yuugi down on top of him. "Thank you," Yuugi whispered after a few minutes. His shivering was nearly nonexistent, and Yami was grateful for that.

"You're very welcome, my little one. You know that I'd do anything for you."

Despite it not being a question, Yuugi felt inclined to answer, "I'm beginning to see that." A smile graced his lips, and Yami couldn't help but smile as well.

"Go to sleep, Yuugi. I'll keep all your nightmares away."

"Thank you," Yuugi whispered again. He cuddled into Yami's undeadly warm chest, and his eyelids felt heavy as sleep lulled him into blissful darkness. Well, it wasn't completely black. The darkness was edged in a lighter gray almost white color, and it looked exactly like the dark light that would surround Yami.

Yes, yes. I know this has got to be 1) the shitiest chapter that I've written 2) the most fluffy chapter that I've ever written (hence the chapter name) and 3) has to be the shortest chapter in this story. I don't really have much else to say about this one except that I don't like writing in Yami's POV for more than a couple paragraphs. However, I wanted to try it and see what you all thought about it. Please tell me that it's not as awful as I think it is. I NEED TO KNOW! Anyhoo, next chapter Yami is going to meet everybody when he takes Yuugi home. Oh~ Maybe I'll have Gilfred and Griffin meet Tristan and Joey. O.O Probably not lmao. Until next time~ Please REVIEW~!

PS: Who thinks that Griffin and Seth should get together? I'm already going to go for the Puppyshipping. :D
