Chapter Nine
Leaning against the door, pushing it shut, Yugi sat and thought about the day he had had and the good that had come out of it. A smile played on his lips as he felt the note he'd received from Ally still lying in his pocket. Thinking of her again, he saw her beautiful face, with those amazing hazel green eyes smiling back at him as her rose pink lips curved upwards in another of those smiles that just made his heart stop, like the one she gave him today. Sighing, he felt his heart begin to race faster again; he felt a slight shortness of breath and a weird sensation in his stomach that he couldn't quite understand.
Grandpa approached Yugi by the door and placed his hands on his grandson's shoulders "Haha looks like my boy's found himself a lady friend huh?" Yugi shook his head to clear his thoughts as he said "I wouldn't say that grandpa we're friends that's all, just…friends" he said with a smile "Oh how naïve you are Yugi, I can see it quite clearly on your face" Yugi became slightly defensive as he put a hand to his face "See what Grandpa?" Grandpa Motto still had his hands on Yugi's shoulders as he pulled his grandson into the store and place his arm around his shoulders as they walked towards the living area "That tint of red on your cheeks, the sighing, the longing, dazed look on your face its all the result of one thing" Yugi looked at his Grandpa "What's that?" Grandpa Motto looked at Yugi as he said "Why its love my boy, you are quite smitten for the young lady who was just here" Yugi's eyes widened "So is that why I have this stupid nauseous feeling in my stomach?" Grandpa Motto looked at his grandson as they entered the living room "What? Like you've been hit in the stomach?" Yugi nodded "Well then my boy it is a crush" Yugi looked down at the floor "Oh great! Look Grandpa please don't tell anyone about this especially not them" he said pointing towards the small group in front of the TV. Grandpa put his hand on his heart "I promise you my boy" "You mean that?" Yugi asked, "I've been in this situation before you know, with a woman you knew as…I don't know… your grandmother, ringing any bells?" Yugi rolled his eyes "Ok point taken thank you" with that Yugi ran for the stairs.
Instead of hanging out with his Grandpa and the others in the living room, Yugi spent most of the night in his room as he started going through all of the games that he could play with Ally during lunch the next day. He just couldn't believe his luck at finding someone that he had so much in common with, apart from the love of music and dance of course, Yugi's taste in music could be a little heavier then what Ally might like and he had two left feet when it came to dancing of any kind.
Gaming, he knew how to do! It was as easy as riding a bike to him. Suddenly something hit the back of Yugi's head "Hey Yugi!" It was Joey "Could ya hurry up, we're starvin down here!" he moaned, Yugi just rolled his eyes and stormed passed Joey on the stairs "Sorry to keep you waiting!" He says sarcastically. Grandpa, Yami, Joey, Tristan, Tea and Yugi all sat at the table to share a splendid dinner of pizza "Grandpa never usually treats us unless we have done well at something like school, probably Yami again, No surprise there, Man why can't he ever be bad at something, I shouldn't envy him like this because we've been closer then brothers for so long but what else am I meant to do other then watch from the side lines?" Yugi sat picking the pepperoni off of his pizza, he never did like the stuff, Grandpa knew it too and would usually get a small margherita one just for him, this time it seems he'd forgotten to do that. Didn't matter much, as Yugi wasn't eating much of his pizza anyway he was too busy thinking of Ally to care. Not that anyone noticed they were all paying attention to Yami.
"Today was unbelievable, I got good grades and won the interschool championship in soccer" Yami says excitedly "Hey did you see those fan girls checkin you out, Yami?" Joey adds in "Man what I wouldn't give to have that many girls after me" Tristan nodded "I hear you on that dude!" Tea rolled her eyes as the two started drooling and then glanced over at Yugi to see him picking at his pizza with a dazed yet happy look on his face "Well done Yami, it's good to hear your getting on so well, maybe next there will be a girl in the picture" Grandpa said, praising Yami on his victories as Tea thought "That girl is going to be me!" Grandpa Motto then added "maybe one that rivals Yugi's girl eh my boy?" He said. Yugi looked up as he heard his name "Huh? Sorry Grandpa what was that?" Grandpa just laughed as he said, "I was just saying that maybe Yami could end up with a girl that rivals yours eh my boy?" Yugi turned a light shade of red as he looked around the table and then said back "Grandpa you said you wouldn't tell" Grandpa turned and winked at Yugi as he said "No need to worry son, they are all teenagers too I'm sure they've been through a crush themselves" Tea looked round at Yugi "You have a crush? Since when?" Yugi just looked at Tea blankly "You mean you're actually interested?" Tea looked more then a little hurt by his words "Of course I am Yugi" Seeing the hurt on Tea's face and sat with a guilty look on his face.
He was about to apologise to her when he heard Joey and Tristan start laughing "Come on Gramps, Yugi never brings home anybody, especially not girls he's too shy" Yugi was shocked at what his supposed best friend had to say about him. It hurt, a lot to hear this.
Yami saw this as he punched Joey in the arm and sent Tristan a scowl across the table "Ow! What was that for?" he shouted, as Yami pointed in Yugi's direction and realisation dawned on Joey's face. "Forget I was here? Let me make this easier for you!" Yugi got up from the table leaving his pizza untouched "Yug, wait a minute, I'm sorry that came out the way it did I was just joking" Joey said, "Ha frickin ha, really funny Joe great laugh! It sure is a good joke me actually bring home a girl let alone one that I like. Why don't you try kicking me in the stomach and see if it hurts maybe that'll get a few laughs! Or better yet if you can't stand my existence then all of you get the hell out of my house!" Then Yugi turns towards Yami pointing an unsteady finger at him, tears clouding his vision as he says "and take THAT with you!" after that Yugi storms up to his room, as the room fell into silence. Yami gets up from the table "I'll go after him" walking towards the stairs "I honestly didn't mean to upset him, man" Joey says "Well then maybe next time you should keep you trap shut Joey, you know he's been feeling bad lately you heard what he told me earlier, Yami it's probably best if we let him cool off, we'll get going now" as Yami mounted the stairs, he turned and looked at his friends with a worried look on his face "No guys stay there I want to talk to him about this."
Yami came to the top of the stairs and headed towards Yugi's room. The door was a jar and Yami was about to go in when he heard the sound of a muffled cry come from Yugi's room. He pushed the door open "Yugi, we have to talk about…this" Yugi turned to see Yami froze in the doorway of his room.
There in the middle of his darkened room he had taken a knife and sliced the pale, white skin on his wrist. Yami couldn't move from the shock coursing through him, instead he managed to stammer out "Yu…Yugi…What are you doing?" Yugi turned his tear stained face to the floor "What does it look like I'm doing Popularity boy!" he replied quietly "I'm doing something I've been driven too and seeing as I'm so invisible to everyone, just thought no one would care, so here, you found out now" he turned back to face Yami with a daring look in his eye
"Tell on me! Go run to Grandpa and tell him what I'm doing! Take my pain and turn it into something about you!" Yugi yelled back. Yami was shaken to the core, was Yugi saying that this was his fault, that some how he had caused Yugi, someone who was pretty much like his little brother, to hurt himself "How? How could you do this to yourself? Why?" Yami asked closing the gap between Yugi and himself "Simple really, I have had nothing but the memories of you and my friends ditching me and giving me the cold shoulder to fuel this 'habit' of mine. I thought I could…would stop now seeing as I had at least one person I could be myself around and who wants to see me as I am but it seems now I've just hit rock bottom!" Yugi said laying his head in his hands as his pain came out in his tears. "I…do not…want to…to be …invisible anymore," he cried.
Yami started to tear up himself, just seeing Yugi in this much pain made him want to scream. He sat himself down next to Yugi and put an arm around him to try and comfort him "I'm sorry, I am really sorry Yugi" Yami says, a tear running down his porcelain face "I had no idea you felt this way, why didn't you say something before?" Yugi looked at Yami with unmistakable pain in his eyes, he was unbelievably pale and would probably pass out but still managed to say "because you guys always seemed so...so mad with me, I just…I didn't want to bother you any...more" and with that he fell sideways onto Yami, the faint sound of Yami's voice calling him grew fainter by the second until suddenly there was nothing there to be heard.
