Yugi woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming in through the window. She sighed feeling the warm light hit her face and warm her blankets. She saw the bright light reflecting off of the lake below her and smiled to herself. 'Today seems like a good day,' she thought. Turning over she surveyed the room.
The sunlight had fallen through her windows and laid a large rectangular patch of light on the otherwise dark carpet covering the floor. It lit up the room making all of the white walls and the light oak furniture glow. Yugi smiled to herself at the warmth that had flooded into her room. She then turned to the clock sitting on the desk next to her bed which told her that it was late morning on Sunday. She looked to the bed that was across from her own in the small space to see that it had not been slept in the night before. The covers were still pulled up over the pillows and the there were two indentations where friends had been sitting while waiting for the bed's usual occupant to get ready for a night of partying. Yugi frowned realizing that her roommate had yet to return.
She decided to get up and get ready for the day hoping that her roommate would return shortly for a well needed day of sleep and relaxing homework. When Yugi was ready she returned to her room to check her phone and to see if Yami wanted to hang out. Upon pressing the on button on her phone, Yugi found that she had multiple messages and phone calls from Yami all from just an hour after she had gone to sleep. She read through them realizing that something serious had happened while she was asleep. She immediately called him back.
He answered after the second ring, "Yugi, thank god you are okay!" He sighed into the phone.
"Yeah I'm fine," Yugi replied sounding confused, "What happened last night after I went to sleep? You texted and called me a bunch of times."
Yami didn't answer right away, "Are you still in your room?" He asked.
"Yeah why?" Yugi asked back.
"I'm going to come and get you. Do not exit your room until you get a text from me." Yami said. Yugi could hear him moving and doors shuting as he exited his own room and started down the hallway.
"Yami what's going on?" Yugi asked.
"I'll tell you when we are safely back in my room," Was all Yami would say. The two said good bye and Yugi waited for the text from Yami.
:)(:
When the two where safely back in Yami's room Yugi looked around realizing that their friends were not in the room, "Where did everyone go?"
"Last night there was an incident that woke them all up. They tried to convince me to let them stay here so they would be able to check on you in the morning but I promised I would text them when I knew you were okay. I also wanted to talk to you about this by myself," Yami said.
Yugi gave Yami a confused look at asked, "What happened last night that has you so on edge?"
Yami took a second before he answered, "Brian." Was all he said.
"Brian?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, he attacked your roommate last night when she was trying to get into the stairwell. He got as far as your bedroom door before campus police found him and arrested him," Yami explained.
"Oh no, is my roommate okay?" Yugi asked.
"Yes, she is a little shaken up but otherwise she was unharmed. The police had her go to the emergency room where they patched up a few scrapes she got when Brian pushed her, but that was the only real damage done."
"Thank goodness," Yugi sighed.
"I am so sorry I didn't believe you Yugi," Yami exclaimed after a long pause, "I should have stayed with you and watched out for him. He could have hurt you!"
"It's okay Yami, he didn't get to me and I am fine now," Yugi said trying to sooth her distraught boyfriend. "Do you know what will happen to Brian now?"
"He is waiting to post bail at the moment. Once he has he will be allowed to come back to campus but he will have to stay away from your roommate," This surprised Yugi.
"Only my roommate?" She asked.
She could hear the anger in Yami's voice when he explained, "Because he did not make it to your room and there was no reported incident involving you Brian was not barred from seeing you. I'm sorry Yugi but as of right now he can still go after you." Yugi gasped as Yami went on, "But I will not allow him to hurt you. From now on either myself or Joey will be with you at all times."
"But what about when I'm in class?" Yugi asked.
"You should be safe while you are in class and one of us will be there when you get out. In the event that one of us are not there when you get out of class, try to make some friends in your classes that might be willing to wait with you until we arrive." Yami said.
Yugi agreed quickly, "This is going to be a long semester isn't it." Yugi sighed.
"I'm afraid so little one. Hopefully Brian will be caught soon and we will be able to rest at ease," Yami paused. Yugi could see that he was thinking about something and waited patiently for him to continue, "Would you be okay with possibly sleeping over here at night until Brian is caught?" He finally asked.
Yugi's eyes widened at the thought, "What about your roommate?"
"My roommate is never really here anyway and I already texted him and asked. He said it would be fine. It would just be until Brian is caught," Yami explained.
Yugi thought over the pros and cons of staying with Yami and finally decided it would be the best option, "As long as you are positive you are okay with me staying with you I don't see how it could hurt."
Yami released the breath he didn't realize he had been holding and wrapped his arms around Yugi. "Thank you," He breathed into her ear. Leaning back he smiled noting the slight blush that coated her cheeks. He suddenly realized that he was very close to possibly losing the girl in his arms and felt the urge to show her how much he cared for her. Leaning down again he placed a soft kiss to her lips, letting it last for only a second or two before pulling back. Yugi gave him a shy smile and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him back to her for another kiss.
When they broke apart Yami smiled down at her and asked, "What was that for?"
"That was a thanks for being the amazing boyfriend and friend that you are," She said with a smile. Yami chuckled and pulled her into another, slightly longer, kiss.
