Universal Love

Chapter 6

Awake at Last

Yugi felt Yami move, and make noises. Yugi sat up and found Yami in a cool sweat, tossing and turning in his sleep. His breathing was in gasps of air, it was like he couldn't breathe. "Yami?" Yugi said quietly at first. He started shaking Yami hoping to get him awake. "Yami?! Yami wake up!"

Seto and the others came running upstairs after hearing Yugi yell. "Yugi what's wrong?" Seto asked.

"Yami is tossing and turning and I can't get him up" Yugi said, his voice cracking. Yugi had tears in his eyes "Yami! Yami wake up!" He continued to shake Yami, unable to get him to wake up. Yugi started crying and Mai wrapped him in a hug.

"It's okay sweetie, Seto will get him up" Mai said holding Yugi tightly.

"Yami! Get up!" Seto yelled, he shook Yami hard. Yami stopped panting, and it looked like he was dead. At first Seto thought that he had stopped breathing, but he listened closely and saw that Yami had just slowed his breathing. "YAMI!" Seto yelled. "He does this every time he gets sick..." Seto raised his hand "Sorry Yami..." He brought his hand back down across Yami's face.

Yami sat up in bed and looked at his cousin. "Did you just slap me?"

"You wouldn't wake up. You scared the hell outta Yugi" Seto explained shrugging.

Yami's eyes widened and he looked over to Yugi who was still huddled to Mai. "Yugi?"

Yugi turned and sobbed when he saw Yami was okay. He rushed over and hugged Yami. "I was so scared" Yugi sobbed into Yami's shoulder.

Yami hugged Yugi close to him "I'm so sorry Yugi, I didn't mean to scare you."

"I couldn't wake y-you up" Yugi hiccuped, finally calming down.

"Shhh, it's okay. I'm alright" Yami comforted Yugi. Yami rubbed Yugi's back in circles, trying to get him to calm down.

"D-Do you feel better?" Yugi asked, pulling his head out of Yami's shoulder to look at Yami.

Yami smiled "I do feel better, a lot better, thank you so much for taking care of me."

Yugi reached over and turned the light on the table back on to get a good look at Yami. His face had returned to its normal tanned color, his eyes were glittering with health and wellness, his nose had quit running, his voice didn't sound raspy anymore, and his breathing had returned to normal. Yugi smiled and Yami wiped away the last tear that ran down Yugi's cheek. "I'm glad you finally feel better" Yugi sniffled.

"I'm glad you didn't catch what I had" Yami chuckled.

Yugi giggled "Me too."

"Anyone know what time it is?" Yami asked.

Mai giggled "It's three in the afternoon Yami. And you need to get downstairs and get some food in you."

Yami sighed "What do you say little nurse? Shall we go get some food?"

Yugi looked up and met Yami's gaze. He smiled, as did Yami "You bet" Yugi said.

"Alright" Yami stood up, he was still only in gym shorts, socks, and a tank top. At first he fell back on the bed, he was still a little dizzy from laying down for so long. Yugi giggled and helped him back to his feet, holding him steady as they walked down the hall. "Thank you Yugi, I think I'll hire you to be my nurse whenever I'm sick from now on" Yami chuckled.

Yugi giggled "I don't really think that any other nurse would take care of you the way that I did" Yugi said winking at Yami.

"You make it look AND sound like things got dirty." Yami turned around and looked at their friends "See! Now we're getting weird looks! NOTHING HAPPENED!"

"We just held hands" Yugi giggled sticking his tongue out.

Yami looked at Yugi and narrowed his eyes "You are SUCH an ass."

Yugi laughed "I just wanted to see what faces they would make. I wasn't exactly TRYING to make that sound dirty..."

Yami smirked "Right, because you are such an innocent person" he laughed.

"Hey! I'm not a dirty person" Yugi said playfully glaring at Yami.

Yami chuckled "Yeah, I know. It's just so much fun to tease you."

Yami and Yugi entered the kitchen laughing, with an arm wrapped around one another. The others took seats around the common room. "Well Yugi... What are we gonna have for dinner tonight?" Yami asked, walking over to the cupboards.

"Um... I dunno" Yugi said shrugging his shoulders.

"Well what the hell kinda help is that?" Yami said smiling over his shoulder at Yugi.

Yugi smiled and laughed sheepisly "Uh... none?"

Yami laughed and turned back to the cupboards shaking his head at Yugi. Yami got down a box of spaghetti noodles "How about some spaghetti?"

"Feeling lazy?" Yugi giggled.

"You want some meat balls with it?" Yami smirked and tried not to laugh.

Yugi busted a gut laughing, he bent over and held his sides. "You said meatballs as two seperate words."

Yami laughed with Yugi "It's the dramatics all over again."

Yugi finally settled down enough to breathe "Okay, let's fix everyone some spaghetti and meatballs. The kind you eat Yami! Wipe that smirk off your face!"

Yami chuckled "Okay, okay. I'm sorry." Yami got out everything they would need to fix spaghetti tonight. He got out some bread, butter, and garlic powder too. Yugi looked at him, an eyebrow raised. "What? You've never made homemade garlic bread?"

Yugi shook his head "Uh uh. Grandpa always bought the kind from the store."

Yami chuckled "Then I'll teach you how to make it, and you can tell your grandpa you learned something new."

"Yami... I'm at a college... I'm supposed to be learning new things anyway..."

"Well.. Why don't you just drain all the fun out of learning why don't ya..." Yami said pouting.

Yugi giggled "I'm sorry, I'll listen and learn."

Yami smiled "Good, it wouldn't be any fun if ya didn't."

"Right" Yugi nodded and walked over to Yami, joining him at the island in the middle of the kitchen.

Yami got the hamburger out and put it in the microwave so he could unfreeze it. He filled a pan with water and put it on the stove, Yugi stood by the island watching Yami's every move. Yugi moved over to the fridge, got out a couple pieces of pizza and a plate. Him and Yami hadn't ate since breakfast, so why not snack on a piece of pizza while they waited for supper to cook. Yugi warmed up the pizza and handed a piece of it to Yami. "Thank you" Yami told him. The two of them stood and happily enjoyed their pizza while they waited on the rest of the food.

Yami got out a cookie sheet and six pieces of bread. He covered one side of the bread in butter, sprinkled the garlic powder over top, Yugi watched everything he was doing. Yami flipped the bread over, buttered the other side and sprinkled a little more garlic powder on the other side of the bread. "And this makes garlic bread?" Yugi asked looking at the bread weird.

Yami chuckled "Yes, once it cooks in the oven" Yami went over and turned the stove on to 350 "At three hundred fifty degrees for a few minutes."

"How long does it have to be in there?"

"I don't know an exact amount of time, I just know that you leave it in there until it's right where you like your bread to be."

"I'm afraid I don't follow..."

"Like, some people like their garlic bread soft, so you would take it out after the butter was melted. Some like it crispy, so you would just watch it until it got there. Excedra."

"Oh. Okay, well, that makes sense."

Yami and Yugi finally finished the spaghetti and meatballs and the garlic bread. Yami got down bowls and forks for everyone and began fixing everyone's bowls. Once fixed he put the bowls on a serving tray and took them out to their friends. "Wow Yami, this looks amazing" Ryou said.

"Thanks, I had a great helper" Yami looked over his shoulder and winked at Yugi.

Yugi blushed and smiled "And I had a great teacher."

Yami and Yugi walked back into the kitchen. Yami fixed Yugi a bowl and handed him a fork with a piece of garlic bread. Yugi looked at the garlic bread for a minute. "Well it isn't going to jump into your mouth if that's what you're waiting on" Yami chuckled standing next to him.

"I'm just nervous. What if I don't like it?"

"Yugi, if you don't like it..." Yami walked over and got a paper towel "Spit it back into this. But don't let your nerves scare you from trying new things."

Yugi looked at the garlic bread and gulped. Yami chuckled and grabbed Yugi's fork. He picked up a few noodles covered in sauce and put it on the garlic bread. "Try it." Yugi looked between the garlic bread and Yami. Yami pushed the garlic bread up to Yugi's mouth "C'mon. You have to try it."

Yugi giggled but took a bite of the garlic bread. "Let's hear it" Yami sang.

Yugi chewed thoughtfully. He swallowed it and thought hard about his response. "I like it" Yugi said grinning.

Yami chuckled "I told you you would."

The two of them sat and enjoyed their dinner in the kitchen, enjoying each others company. They talked and joked about a lot of different things. Once they had finished eating Yugi went and gathered everyone's dishes while Yami started on the dishes. Once Yugi brought back the dishes he put them in the water Yami was using and started rinsing the dishes in the other side of the sink. They smiled at each other before continuing doing the dishes, Yami washing, while Yugi rinsed.
