Chapter 7 : A Cuddly and Clingy Roommate
"Grandpa we're home." Yugi called out as they entered the game shop.
"Welcome home Yugi... and Yami." Yugi's grandfather had known about Yami since the night Yugi had solved the puzzle. So when Yugi came home Saturday claiming the boy was Yami it hadn't really fazed him.
"We're going to do our homework. Will you call us down when dinner is ready?" Yugi walked upstairs to his and Yami's bedroom after switching the shop's open sign to closed.
"Yugi what subject do you want to start with?" Yami was sitting on his bed with his school books scattered around him.
"Well our math teacher didn't have the chance to assign us any homework and we'll probably have a substitute tomorrow depending on how bad the damage Malik and Marik caused was. So, why don't we start with history?"
Yami closed four of the five books around him and placed them on the floor, so that Yugi could sit beside him on the bed.
A few hours later Soloman knocked on his grandson's bedroom door. "Dinner is ready." He poked his head in when there wasn't an answer.
Yugi was sitting with his legs crossed on one of the beds with a text-book open. Yami was sitting behind him with his chin on Yugi's right shoulder and one arm around Yugi's left shoulder. He had a pencil in his right hand and was making notes on some papers beside them as Yugi explained the homework to him.
"Dinner is ready." Soloman said his previous words a little louder.
"Okay grandpa. We'll be down as soon as we finish this question." Soloman nodded and closed his grandson's bedroom door.
Yugi closed the book in his lap and set it aside. "When did you become so clingy Yami?"
Yami sat back so that his light could stand without dragging him into the floor. "I don't know Yugi. I'm craving physical contact for some reason." He stood and straightened his clothes. "Shall we join your grandfather for dinner now?"
Yugi barely talked at all during dinner because he was thinking about Yami's words. So it was left to Yami to tell Soloman about his first day at a modern school.
Yugi was still silent after dinner when they were getting ready for bed. "Yugi is something wrong?" Yami asked after he finished brushing his teeth.
"Hmm?" Yugi finished brushing his teeth and rinsed his mouth and toothbrush out. "No, Yami. Everything is fine. I was just thinking about what you said earlier." He placed his toothbrush in the holder beside Yami's and smiled.
"You've been thinking about that all this time?" Yami followed his light back to their bedroom.
"Yeah... sorry..." Yugi sat down on his bed. "I only have a few ideas about why you're craving physical contact though. Either this is a side effect of gaining a body of your own and it will pass in time, or whoever gave you a body is making this happen to you."
Yami sat on his own bed. "The only way to find out is to wait and see. Good night Yugi." Yami lay down facing the wall.
Some time after midnight Yugi woke up to something tickling his nose. He swiped the hair that was tickling him away from his face and tried to sit up. Only he wasn't able to move very far, because something was holding him down. He blinked his eyes open and looked around. "Yami? What are you doing in my bed?"
Yami held Yugi a little tighter unwilling to wake up and... 'Did he just purr?' Yami nuzzled into Yugi's neck. 'Yeah that's definitely a purr.'
Yugi pushed Yami's hair out of his face and his hand ran across something sharp. "Ouch!" Yugi yanked his hand back and checked to see if it was bleeding. When he saw that it wasn't he pushed Yami's hair away from his forehead and saw a small horn on each side of Yami's head just below the hairline.
"Yugi stop pulling my hair." Yami shifted so that his light had to let go of his hair and he sat up. "I'll go back to my bed if you want me to."
Yugi watched as Yami stood up to go back to his own bed. "You can stay." Yugi looked down with a blush covering his cheeks.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Yami I'm sure. You seem to need the physical contact anyway." Yugi smiled reassuringly.
Yami laid back on the bed beside his light.
Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's waist. "Go to sleep Yami. We'll talk more in the morning."
A.N. Oh look Yami's starting to turn... I just couldn't get this chapter to flow. (It didn't help that I kept getting distracted) Hopefully it was just as good as the other though.
