Chapter 10
It was soon morning, and Yugi was the first to awake. He smiled gently that the still sleeping Yami, holding onto him. He lay there, running his hand through his hair as he watched him sleep. Pretty soon Yami soon awoke. "...A-Aibou..."
"Morning Pharaoh...you okay?" he said gently with a warm smile.
"...I-I guess..." Amethyst eyes grew worried as he stared at him solemnly. Yami closed his eyes and weakly cuddles into Yugi again.
Yugi smiled solemnly and sighed, putting his arms around him. -Yami-chan?-
...Hmmmmm...
-If something was wrong...you'd tell me right?-
... Yugi patiently awaited an answer. ...I-I'll try...
-Okay. I just want you to be honest with me. I care about you okay?- Yami just nods weakly. Yugi smiled, and then smiled bigger as he remembered last night. Yami had suddenly had fallen back asleep. Yugi laughed and laid there until he knew Yami was fast asleep. He slowly and carefully went downstairs.

He saw his Grandpa was making breakfast. "Morning Grandpa."
"Morning Yugi, hungry?" Yugi nods as he sat down at the table. "Where's the Pharaoh?" ask his Grandpa "Is he alright?"
"He fell back asleep. I think I'll let him be. He had a rough night last night."
Grandpa nods. "I heard."
"Sorry if it worried you. I think he'll be alright now. Especially after what I've got planned."
"And what's that?"
"Did I say that out loud?" Yugi asked surprised.
"Yes you did." said Grandpa.
"Oh..." Yugi said. "What's for breakfast?"
"Your favorite pancakes."
Yugi genki smiled as grandpa happily set them on the table. He mischievously put them on the far end, keeping them away from Yugi. He looked crestfallen. "Come on Gramps, what gives?"
"I want to hear this plain that's been running in that head of yours."
Yugi pouted but conceded and told him. "Well...I have to go back to school in a few days."
Grandpa sighed. "The pharaoh won't like that." he said.
"I know, but I have a plan. I might need some help too."
"Go on..." Grandpa said getting fully intrigued now. He moved the pancakes closer and Yugi took the opportunity to start digging in.
Suddenly they were interrupted. ...A-Aibou...? ...W-Where are...y-you...?
"Gaaah!" Yugi said startled by the sudden link. -I'm downstairs having breakfast. Hang on and I'll come get you.- Grandpa looked worried at first when Yugi stop eating, dropping his fork and started to race upstairs. "Be right back!" he called.

Yugi reached into Yami's room and saw him trying to get up himself. "Yami-chan, do you want some help?" he asked. Crimson eyes looked into his. "There's pancakes downstairs, hungry?"
"...I-I guess..."
Yugi looked worried again. "What's troubling you? I KNOW something's bothering you."
"...I-It's just..." Yami started slowly, trying not to cry again at the thought that was running through his mind at that moment "...I-It's just..."
"You can tell me," Yugi said taking his hand and looking into his eyes.
"...I-It's just...t-that I know...y-you're going...t-to leave...a-again..." At that moment the tears Yami tried to fight back started to trickle down his face. "..I-I don't...w-want you...t-to leave...m-me alone...a-again...!" Yami once again buried his face into Yugi's chest.
Yugi's heart shattered. Well...now's as good a time as any to tell him... "I'm working on a way to fix that." Wet crimson eyes look into his a bit confused. Yugi smiled and gently dried his eyes. "With grandpa's okay...you might be coming to school with me." Yami got even more confused. "Well..." Yugi sighed. "First, you have to agree to something for me." Yami still was confused but let Yugi continued. "So, will you consent to having a shrink?"
"I...I still don't understand..."
"Like I explained, a psychologist is just like a normal doctor, only they treat your emotional health. They help keep you happy and try to help you not be so depressed anymore. Because of the accident and me being away, it's made you upset, or depressed. Being sad all the time means you're sick psychologically, or emotionally to make it easier. A shrink can help make it go away. My school has one and from what I've read she's really nice."
Those wet crimson eyes were still a bit confused. "...H-How would... How does that let me go to school with you?"
"She'll make it so that you can stay in a special apartment close to my dorm. It's the only way you can go with me. If you don't agree to any of it, then you stay here." Those crimson eyes widen. Yugi can see the wanting of his other wanting to be near him in those eyes. "There is one down side..." Yami's face fell. His chance to be with Yugi and here came the rainstorm. "By accepting a psychologist, you accept that you are clinically depressed. That means you're getting medical help for a mental illness. It...it would be another reason for people to make fun of you..." Yugi said sadly. He sighed. "It's up to you. If you want to come to school with me, you have to accept the whole deal. I know you'll make the right choice. Only you know what to do now," he said caressing his cheek with a solemn smile.
Yami bit his lip for a bit but then did a short nod. "...I-I... I-I want...t-to be...w-with you... N-Nothing will...m-make me...h-happier..."
Yugi smiled a small smile. "I thought so...I need to make some important phone calls. I'll bring you up some breakfast okay?" Yami nods weakly. Yugi smiled and went downstairs. After awhile, Yugi soon return with a try with Yami's breakfast. He found him sitting on the bed, staring off into space thinking. "Is something wrong?" Yugi asked worriedly when he saw this.
"...huh?" he said looking up.
"You were staring out in space." Yugi said as he came over and sat down next to him on the bed.
"...Oh. I was just...thinking..."
"Are you maybe changing your mind?"
Yami shock his head. "...No..."
"Alright," Yugi said with a small smile. "I brought breakfast." Yami smiled weakly. Yugi smiled back.
"W-What's for breakfast...?"
"My favorite pancakes."
"...O-Oh..."
"You sure you're okay?" Yami nods weakly. "Just checking," Yugi smiled. Yugi sat the tray on his other's lap with a smile. He smiled a small smile and started eating. Yugi watched carefully, just to make sure Yami didn't choke or anything.
"...So...is everything...taken care of?" Yami asked between bites.
"Not yet, but it will be soon." Yami nodded. "There are still a few more things that need to be taken care of. And you have to pack. Once we get to school you'll get to meet Dr. Joyce. She's the on campus shrink and the one you'll be assigned too. She's really nice though." Yami nods again, he didn't really care. He was just happy that Yugi wasn't going to leave him again. Yugi smiled and sighed. It wasn't long until Yami soon finished breakfast. Yugi set the tray aside. "What now?" Yami sadly didn't know either. He slowly lay back down on the bed with a sigh. Yugi sighed and decided to lie down too. Yugi remembered he still to make that call. "...Well, I have to take care of some things I just remembered. I'll try not to be too long."
"Okay…" Yugi smiled and kissed him on the forehead before getting up and going downstairs. Yami watched him. He sighed as he heard Yugi go into the kitchen. He turned to stare at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Yugi picked up the phone. After a couple of hours on the phone, Yugi smiled. "Thanks Dr. Joyce! You don't know how much this mean to us!"
With that, Yugi hung up the phone.
He saw Grandpa standing behind him. "So I'm guessing when it's time to leave, you'll be taking the Pharaoh along?" he asked.
"Is that okay, Grandpa?" Yugi asked, now a bit worried.
His Grandpa smiled. "It's okay Yugi." He said "Going with you might just get the Pharaoh back to his normal mood."
Yugi glomped him. "Thanks Grandpa!" he said "You're the best!"

Later in the day, the group showed up for a visit. That's when they heard that when Yugi goes back to America for school, Yami will go with him. "Ya sure ya school aloud it, Yuge?" Joey asked.
"Yeah. With special arrangements."
"Wow! That's really cool. Now you won't be so sad anymore, huh Pharaoh?" Tèa said happily. Yami just smiled weakly from the couch.
"So, how's it all work?" Tristan asked curiously. Yami just slowly look towards the floor.
"Well..." Yugi started slowly as he explained the details. After awhile, Yugi finished explaining things.
"So...it's for medical reasons?" Tèa asked, trying to tread lightly.
"Makes sense. He's been all emotional and depressed."
"Joey!" Tèa shouted.
"I-It's okay... Tèa..." Yam spoke slowly.
She looked worriedly at him. "It is," Yugi said "If it's hurting him that badly, I want him to come with me. It doesn't matter why or how. He feels the same way."
"Ya guys will come and visit right?" Joey asked.
"Yeah, just like I would have been. Nothing's going to change."
"Well," started Tristan "We'd happy for you."
"Yeah. I want to see the Pharaoh happy again," Tèa said. The group hangs out a bit longer until it was time for them to head home.
"Thanks for coming guys. See you around."
"Thanks for having us over."
"Good luck when ya get to school, Pharaoh."
"Yeah." They watched the group head out the door.
"Well, it's been a long day. Why don't you both get some sleep. Tomorrow you can start packing to go back."
"Okay Grandpa." said Yugi as he help Yami back upstairs.

Yugi went into the bathroom and got ready for bed as Yami sat down on the bed. It wasn't long until Yugi returned. "Well...you excited about going to school?"
"...I guess..." Yami started slowly "...but..." Yugi looked at him, waiting for an answer. "..But what am I to do while you in class...?"
"That, I can't help. I HAVE to go to class," Yugi laughed. He looked in deep thought. "I don't know. I'm sure you'll find something." Yami just looked unsure. "There's a lot to do at school. I know you'll find something to occupy your time. There's also scheduled visits with Dr. Joyce too." Yami still looked a bit unsure but nodded slowly. Yugi hugged him. "Everything will work out, I promise." Yami sighed weakly but yawned a bit. "Time for bed. It's been a long day," Yugi said letting go and getting under the covers. Yami slowly and weakly fallowed him. He weakly cuddled against him. Yugi smiled. Sleep well, Pharaoh. I hope everything works out okay, for your sake.
