chapter 8- At last
When Yugi and Yami broke off from their friends, they headed back to the hotel. "Yami you know when we get to my grandpa's house will you stay there with me for a bit?" Yugi asked Yami.
"Of course my little one. I'll do anything for you." Yami replied with a smile as their fingers intertwined together.
"The thing is that the wound that I have can only be cured with the blood of my one true love..." Yugi began as he blush deep crimson.
"And?" Yami asked Yugi to continue.
"Well I think I'm looking at him now." Yugi fidgeted about with embarrassment.
"You mean..."
"Yeah."
"Ok."
"WHAT!" Yugi yelled in shock. "You wouldn't mind?" Yugi's eye's widened as Yami looked at his vampire lover with confusion.
"It's fine with me and I feel loved. I sort of what to know everything about you."
"Don't you know a lot?"
"No Yugi I mean about you being you not what dad wanted you to be."
"Well there is one thing."
"What is it?"
"Well a vampire can only fall in love once and when they do they know it's true love." Yami smiled at Yugi as they entered the hotel.
"I'm sharing the night with Yami alone." Yugi panicked as Yami lead him up the stairs to their shared hotel room for their last night before they leave again.
Yugi crawled on top of his bed. He felt too tired to even take his shoes off. Mud had printed on to the clean cream carpet. "Yami are you sure you don't mind?" Yugi asked Yami with concern as the boy sat on Yugi's bed.
"Yeah I'm sure." Yugi chucked off his shoes and sniffed at Yami's neck. He subconsciously licked his lips and drew out his fangs. He kissed Yami's neck and drove his fangs in. Yugi felt so much energy flowing though him but he had to stop or he would hurt Yami. "Yugi." Yami croaked, sending Yugi back to reality.
Almost ripping his fangs out of Yami's neck, Yugi quickly scurried to the corner of the hotel room. "What have I done? I've done something so stupid and if I do it again in less than a week then..." Yugi trailed off. But was it a good thing if it happened?
Yami wiped his bloody neck with a white towel, left it in the sink when he was done and joined Yugi in the corner. "Yugi I'm fine." Yami said but Yugi didn't raise his head. The boy felt too ashamed about himself. Yami slowly wrapped his arms around his lover and whispered in his ear. "I love you my little bloodsucker."
"Yami I'm sorry if I hurt you." Yugi apologised as he returned the hug.
"It's fine but we should go to sleep or we'll oversleep. You can sleep in my bed." Yugi nodded his head as Yami lead him to his bed.
The sun shone through the window and awoke two boys who had snuggled up close to each other because of the cold night. When Yugi woke up he realized what sort of position they were in.
Yami had his legs wrapped around Yugi and seemed to cling to him let a lost baby who wouldn't let go of their mum. "Yami it's the morning." Yugi said as Yami groaned a "I'm up." Yugi giggled and wiggled from Yami's hold. He stuffed their belongings into their suitcase and slipped on his abandoned shoes from last night. Yami rolled out of bed, got up, Kicked on his shoes and helped Yugi with the old suitcase zip.
Yugi thanked him and they looked at the hotel one last time before they left for good. When they had reached the entrance a girl stopped them. "Yami don't go." She pleaded. Yugi and Yami shared a look at each other then looked at the girl. It was Anzu.
"I'm sorry Anzu but I only needed to stay here for a bit and I already told you that I was gay." Yami apologised and they left the bewildered Anzu.
When they reached the edge of the dark forest after battling their way past the busy streets, Yugi took one step on the crunchy grass. The tree leaves almost seemed rusty and some leaves had already fallen to the ground.
It was the season Yami's dad had found Yugi.
Yugi pulled the heavy suitcase along the bumpy tracks. "Are you sure you don't want any help?" Yami asked for the seventeenth time in five minutes.
"I'm fine." Yugi gave a giggle. All this time Yami had loved him and not Anzu or someone-else. Yugi beamed with joey.
"You're in a happy mood today." Yami joked.
"Yeah because I'm with the person I love and I'm going to see my grandpa." Yugi cheered as he kicked up a pile of leaves. The trees towered over the pair like bony hands that reached down to grab them. The grass was overgrown and wild from all the years it had been left untamed but a slim path still slithered its way along. Their old suitcase wobbled along the thin line.
They stayed quite as they enjoyed the presence of one-another. "Yugi." Yami said, breaking the calming silence. The wind licked at their skin and tickled at their clothes and hair.
"What is it?" Yugi asked curiously. Yami looked at the acorns on the ground by a big hollow tree.
"How long is it to get to your grandpa?"
"Oh about... 2 hours." Yugi said with a smile. "Or long longer." Yugi gave a giggle when he sow Yami's gob-smacked expression on his face.
"Don't laugh. That's I long time." Yami pouted as they walked deeper into the forest.
"It'll take me less than 5 minutes to get there." Yugi boasted.
"Well yeah but there's no need to boast." Yami sulked.
"Yeah but it's funny to wind you up." Yugi laughed loudly. Two white birds flow by them and butterfly's spread their wings. "It's beautiful out here I should have brought my camara."
"It's in the suitcase remember." Yami implied.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that." Yugi reached and slipped out the blue camara from a pouch in the suitcase and started taking pictures of the wildlife. The wild flowers that grew wild and free. The animals as they pranced around freely. The trees as they swayed in the wind and pictures of him and Yami. Mostly Yami.
"Hey how many of them are me?" Yugi joked.
"A lot of them." Yugi laughed. Yami pulled a pose as Yugi flashed the camara at him. "Your funny." Yugi's laughs got louder.
The grass tickled at their legs and the breeze felt calm. Almost there.
About millions of pictures later they found the route getting less wild and more artificial. They followed with curiosity if they were going the right way or not. "Are you sure we're going the right way my little one?"
"I'm sure Yami." Yugi replied with a smile.
They found a small cottage house nestled in between some dark trees. They could almost mistake it for the trees but Yugi realised before it was too late. "We're here."
Yugi raced to the door and knocked on the oak like door of the building with the big brass door-knocker. "I'm here at last."
