+Innocent: At Kaiba's House.+
Jou and Kaiba were still in the living room. The blonde was currently sitting in between Kaiba's legs, with the brunette happily wrapping his arms around his neck. Kaiba placed his head gently on Jou's shoulder, while the blonde sighed in content.
Yami and Yugi had been out for about an hour or so, and the two thought they'd wait patiently for the them to return. However, wasn't exactly known for his patience; so it had taken Kaiba a while to calm Jou down into the state they were in now.
"Oi, Kaiba."
"Hm?" Kaiba looked at the blonde with questioning eyes.
"When did you find out about Yug's… you know?"
Kaiba ran a hand through his hair before answering. "I found out when I was in seventh grade. The rumors about him and what happened spread like wild fire. Everyone treated him like he was a disease; even some of the teachers treated him badly."
"What about you? Were you the same as everyone else?"
Kaiba flicked Jou on the nose playfully. "Of course not Puppy. I'm not one to follow the crowd, let alone listen to rumors."
Jou rubbed his abused nose. "The flick on the nose wasn't necessary Kaiba." he grumbled.
Kaiba snorted a little. "It very well was, but anyway. I never really believed the rumors that were going around, but to say I wasn't curious about the truth would be a lie. Since Kaiba Corp had ties with the police, I did some snooping around and read about the case. I was pretty shocked when I read that Yugi had killed his mother, but after a little more reading, the police report stated that she was killed accidentally in a struggle."
"Then what?"
"Well, I was considering going to the cops, or the school even about this, but sadly the case was dropped meaning the cops wouldn't even look in my direction if I brought it up. Along with the fact that at a seventh grade level it takes a while to kill down a rumor as huge as the one that was circulating around. So I had to let it go, but that didn't mean I was done with Yugi yet. I thought, maybe just maybe, I'd help the poor little guy who was being so wrongly condemned."
"Then…?" Jou cocked his head to the side in an adorable fashion.
"So pushy aren't we?" Kaiba smirked at the pout that appeared on Jou's face. "Then after I left the building, I found Mokuba stooping near something on the ground. I thought something was wrong, so I went over to him. What I didn't expect though was to find Yugi collapsed on the ground, to make matters worse it was raining, so we brought Yugi into the car. When he woke up later, we told him what happened, then I told him about my checking into the case. He seemed happy, so relieved that someone truly cared about him, and didn't want to judge him. Afterwards we became great friends."
"Aww, Kaiba, you really do have a heart in there." he joked. His hand pointed towards Kaiba's chest.
The brunette grabbed Jou's hand and placed a gentle kiss on the inside of his palm. "Of course there's a heart in here, Baka." he looked up, chocolate eyes matching with cobalt eyes. "If there wasn't one I wouldn't be able to love you as much as I do."
Jou's face turned fully red, it wasn't everyday that Kaiba said a comment so… so… romantically cheesy. The blonde buried his face in Kaiba's chest and mumbled into the soft fabric of his shirt.
"What was that Puppy? I didn't quite hear you." Jou could feel the playful smirk on Kaiba's face. Slowly, he raised his head, chocolate brown eyes half-lidded, and cheeks flushed.
"You're so embarrassing." he mumbled softly.
'Damn it… he's just too cute.' Kaiba captured his puppy's warm inviting lips. Sliding his tongue effortlessly into the blonde's mouth, he explored every inch of his mouth, playing with his tongue and enjoying the feeling of his blonde squirming and moaning in his arms.
"Um… ehem." the two broke apart, Jou's face was fully red again while Kaiba maintained his cool. Yugi and Yami were standing at the door way hand in hand. The smaller of the two was quietly giggling, while Yami was full on smirking. "So this is what you two do behind closed doors eh?" he winked at his scowling cousin.
"It's my house Cousin. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to get frisky when I like to."
"Gah! You pervert, don't say it like that!" he pulled at the ends of his hair in frustration, eyes shut and his blush rapidly spreading.
Kaiba shrugged. "What? It's true." he said nonchalantly. He turned his gaze towards Yugi and Yami who were now sitting on the couch opposite of them, their fingers were still intertwined. "I'm guessing things went alright." he motioned towards their intertwined hands.
"You guessed correctly." Yami smiled down at Yugi, and Yugi gratefully returned it. The walk back from the park was a pleasant one. The two enjoyed each other's company even more than when they first arrived. They shared glances on and off, they were more conscious of the fact that the other person was so close to them. 'Finally, I feel closer to Yugi.' he squeezed the little one's hand tightly before bringing the pale small hand to his lips.
Yugi's face lit on fire as he attempted to cover his face with his bangs. "Y-Yami-kun!" the little one stuttered.
Yami chuckled, "Yes Yugi?" his crimson eyes were dancing with amusement.
The only words Yugi could make out were stutters. From the opposite side of the couch Jou shook his head in defeat. "Is everyone in your family an embarrassing pervert?"
"Not everyone, but my dad had a bit of a furry fetish."
The thought through everyone's mind at the moment was the same: 'So that's where he gets it from.'
"Anyway," Kaiba leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and resting his head on his fists. "what do you two plan to do now? Anything in mind, Cousin?" Yugi's face flushed to the same
. "Well if you think I'm just going to jump straight into Yugi's pants you're wrong." Yami answered. Yugi' face flushed to the same color as Jou's.
"Tch, you couldn't even let that thought cross your mind if I have a say about it!" Jou balled up his fists to show that he was serious.
"Calm down Puppy." he ruffled his blonde's hair. "Yami isn't that much of a barbaric to jump the gun so fast." he raised an eyebrow. "Am I right?"
"Jeez! What do you people take me for!" he looked down at Yugi with pleading crimson eyes. "You don't think I'm a sex maniac that preys on cute little boys right?"
Yugi looked up at him innocently before giving him a thoughtful look. "Wellll…."
"Yugi!"
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding." he giggled and placed his head on Yami's comforting shoulder. "Of course you're not a sex maniac, but you do look like someone who has a pervy side."
Kaiba scoffed and Yami set him a death glare that clearly stated: "Say one more word and you die."
Yami wrapped an arm around Yugi's waist pulling him close. "Well then, we're just going to have to wait and see about my 'pervy side' now won't we." he couldn't help himself, he purred in Yugi's ear and hugged him close. The smaller teen blushed with full force as he looked up at Yami with wide eyes. "I'm kidding Yugi." Yami kissed the top of Yugi's head gingerly. "You won't have to see that side of me for a long time."
"So you admit you are a perv?" Kaiba raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"Don't you have, like, I don't know, some corporate business to attend to?" Yami sneered.
"Not at the moment. Besides," he reclined in his couch with a smirk on his lips. "why worry about bringing people down to their knees when I can watch you make a fool out of yourself in front of Yugi?"
Yami growled and looked over at Yugi. "Forgive me for this." he covered the wide-eyed tri-colored hair teen's ears. "Go to Hell Kaiba!" he spat out then released Yugi's ears.
"Yami-kun, what was that for?" Yugi cocked his head to the side, blinking in curiosity.
"Absolutely nothing whatsoever." Yami said with an innocent smile.
"Why I ought to-" Kaiba began but was interrupted by Mokuba.
"Onii-chan! Is Yugi back yet?" the smaller of the Kaiba brothers asked from on top of the stairs.
"I'm right here Mokuba." Yugi called out from the couch.
"Finally!" Mokuba rushed down the stairs and pulled Yugi into a hug. "I thought Yami had kidnapped you and planned to do you know…" Mokuba's face flushed as he made hand gestures to signify what he was talking about.
"Seriously!" Yami let out a sigh of agitation. "Even Mokuba thinks I'm a walking sex maniac?"
Yugi let out a sigh as he ran a hand through his spiky locks. "Wow Yami, maybe you weren't the person I thought you were after all…" he let his voice trail off as he hung his head in playful shame.
"Y-Yugi, it's not what you think at all!" he turned towards Kaiba, Jou and Mokuba. "Help me out here you guys! It's your fault for Yugi thinking this way!" the three just shook their heads in shame as well, while on the inside they were all snickering. Yami frantically looked back and forth between them before hanging his head in defeat. "Yugi… I'm really not like that, please… believe me."
Yugi couldn't help but glance towards the crimson eyed teen who was pleading so desperately. He smiled a little and gave Yami a tight squeeze. "Of course I believe you." he whispered into Yami's ear.
Yami slowly wrapped his arms around Yugi's thin waist. "That makes me happy to hear. You gave in pretty quickly though." he chuckled softly.
"Well I always believed you, Yami, I just felt like playing the part of the little devil as all." Yugi giggled giving a grinning Mokuba a high five.
Yami pouted and looked at the other three, "Please don't tell me you all planned this out?" he begged.
Kaiba shrugged, "Maybe we did. Maybe we didn't." he replied nonchalantly. "Anyway, I'm getting tired." he yawned and looked over at his sleepy puppy, "And it looks like I'm not the only one who agrees, so we'll be going to bed now." then the turned to Mokuba. "You too."
"But Onii-chan!" he started to whine.
"No 'buts', it's bad enough that you stayed up this late. If you don't go to bed now you'll never wake up for school tomorrow morning."
"I'd be okay with that." Mokuba mumbled as he slowly walked up the stairs.
Kaiba laughed and took Jou by the hand leading him upstairs. "Are you guys going to bed?" the brunette asked.
Yugi shook his head. "No, I think we'll stay up a little while longer." he yawned slightly.
"Alright, just don't stay up too late."
"And don't get too hot and bothered, Yami." Jou said with a snicker.
"I hope you fall up the stairs!" Yami barked.
"Ha! Only an idiot would fal-" he tripped going up the last flight of steps.
Kaiba shook his head. "Only you Puppy. Only you." he muttered, and gingerly picked his fallen blonde up.
"That never happened." Jou mumbled as the two entered their room.
"Oh I will never let him live that down." Yami said as the laughter between the two died down. Now there was just silence- comfortable, peaceful silence. The taller of the two couldn't help but feel slightly giddy.
After today things would change for the them; they both knew that. They couldn't go back- all they could do was move forward in their new relationship. Yami smiled down towards Yugi, "So what should we do now?"
Yugi let out another yawn, "I'm actually kind of hungry…"
"Leave it to me." Yami said cheerfully, "I'll make us some dinner, and trust me you'll definitely love my cooking." he winked, kissed Yugi on the forehead, and walked into the kitchen. For some reason Yugi couldn't ignore the knots in his stomach thinking of the incoming meal that was soon to be prepared.
+Innocent: There's nothing between us now. Love can finally grow.+
"Here you go." Yami placed the steaming plate of food in front of Yugi. The small teen looked at the food in front of him with hesitation. He never really saw Yami as the cooking type, but he couldn't just turn his food down now, that would just rude.
Yugi swallowed a small gulp and slowly dug into his food. The sudden mixes of flavors and spices almost knocked the small teen out of his chair. It was much better than Yugi ever expected and he quickly shook his head of guilt from thinking it would taste otherwise. "Yami-kun, this is amazing!" he said in-between bites.
"Thanks." Yami chuckled. "Curry is about the only thing I can make to be truthful."
Yugi looked at him with shocked filled eyes. "You're kidding me." Yami shook his head
"Nope, trust me I've tried cooking other things." he shook his head and laughed, "They didn't turn out too well."
Yugi giggled and continued to eat his wonderful dinner. Once again silence filled in the gap between the two but they didn't mind, they were just happy being with one another. When Yugi was all done, he got up from the table and started to wash the dishes.
"Don't worry about it Yugi." Yami gently took the plate from Yugi's soap covered hand and placed the dish somewhere else.
"But shouldn't I-"
"-Yugi, while you're here you don't have to worry about anything. Just relax, and live. That's what you deserve to do." Yami said gently.
Yugi felt a small weight lift off his shoulder and smiled. "You're right…" he said softly before letting out a yawn. "Yami-kun… I'm kind of tired." he stretched lazily.
"It is getting late…" Yami glanced out at the full moon outside, it's pale light gracing over the two standing by the sink. "Why don't we go to bed?" he asked with a smile.
"T-Together?" Yugi squeaked, a blush creeping his face.
"Well," he placed a thoughtful finger to his chin. "We could sleep on separate sides of the bed so it wouldn't technically be called sleeping together." Yami laughed at the pout that found it's way to his little one's face. "I'll only sleep with you tonight if you want me to, if not I'll sleep in a separate room, or maybe the floor, even." he chuckled at that last thought.
Yugi shook his head, "No, I couldn't let you sleep on the floor." he grabbed onto Yami's strong, tanned hand and gripped it tightly. He looked at the ground, covering the blush on his face with his bangs. "Iwantyoutosleepwithmetonight." he let out in one breath.
Yami cocked his head to the side. "Mind running that by me one more time?"
The little one let out a deep breath. "I want you to sleep with me tonight." the blush on his face increased even more.
The crimson eyed teen tugged on the smaller one's hand and brought him upstairs. Quickly the two pulled of their clothes, grabbed on some random pajamas and slid into bed. Yami's arms wrapped around his little one, burying his head in Yugi's spiky, tri-colored hair. 'He feels so good against me.' Yami thought as he inhaled the scent of his little one.
"Did you just sniff me?" Yugi asked with a giggle.
"Possibly…" Yami dragged out the word and nuzzled his face deeper into Yugi's hair. "Yugi… I love you so much." he whispered for only him to hear.
"Yami…"
"I love the way you make me feel Yugi. You make me feel alive… you make me feel like I have something to live for, because I want to protect you so much. I want to be the reason why you wake up and smile every morning. Yugi… I want to have you all to myself, to be selfish, to never have to let you go to your father or anyone. I want to be with you… always."
The sudden confession made Yugi's heart beat pick up a couple of paces. He didn't expect Yami to just blurt out all his feelings like that, it made him so happy to hear that Yami loved him so much, that he wanted to stay with him forever.
He wrapped his arms around Yami's waist tightly. He wished he had the courage, the strength, to say those three words he knew Yami longed to hear, but he just couldn't do that yet. Something was holding him back… and he felt like a coward for not being able to come out straight with his feelings. "Yami… I-I" he began to say but was cut short by a warm sleek finger touching his rosy pink lips.
"You don't have to say anything Yugi. When you're ready to say it… say it. I'll be happily waiting for you to return my feelings." he placed a kiss on Yugi's forehead. "Let's get some sleep alright?"
Yami slowly drifted off to sleep, Yugi was slowly behind him. He could feel the rise and fall of the crimson eyed boy's chest, and he could hear the almost-silent sound of Yami's breathing.
"Yami… I love you." Yugi whispered into the night before falling asleep.
Yami smiled.
