Here's the next chapter. I'm going on a roll with new fan fictions to check out, since some of them I've alerted are becoming discontinued without deleting it. Seriously, people are so dang lazy! I hate reading stories that end up being discontinued! Review please!
Yugi woke up, seeing that Seto had already left. He was disappointed, but knew Seto needed to go to school today. Yami appeared sitting on the bedside with his hand brushing through Yugi's thick, springy hair. Yugi slightly glared as Yami held a soft smile.
"How are you feeling?" Yami asked.
"Okay, I suppose," Yugi replied before a sigh escaped his lips. "You know, forcing my hand under my brother's isn't gonna make him less of an asshole. Seto's always gonna make the big ordeal about not showing brotherly affection."
"That maybe true, but even he needs some affection and you're the type that's willing to give it. You love him Yugi and he loves you. It's time you showed him that there's nothing wrong with showing brotherly affection."
"Yeah, like that's gonna make him change his mind!" Yugi glared with hint of sarcasm.
Yami smiled and gently laid his hand on Yugi's hand, saying softly, "sometimes a touch of love can change someone. Seto loves you and just by your touch, I could see a soft side behind those cold blue eyes."
"You really believe he can change?" Yugi asked with glaring eyes. Yami chuckled slightly with a shrug as Yugi sighed while rolling his eyes. "Yeah right!"
Yugi heard a knock on the door, seeing a nurse walk into the room with a machine rolling on the floor inside. It seem to show two number columns with a red and blue thermometers inside a plastic tube. The nurse smiled politely as she walked her way to Yugi's side.
"Good morning, sir! I'm just here to check your temperature and blood pressure! This won't take too long, I promise!" The nurse, Dr. Shirley, promised.
"Okay," Yugi replied as he opened his mouth for Dr. Shirley to put the thermometer inside. She did that and also wrapped his arm with a black wrap of some kind. It began to inflate, squeezing Yugi's arm. When Yugi heard a few beeps from the machine, the wrap stopped inflating and shrunk back to its original size. Dr. Shirley took the thermometer from Yugi's mouth and checked his temperature and blood pressure.
"Seems normal! You seem like a healthy young man! I'm surprised you're 16, you look young for your age!"
"Thanks."
"Your very welcome!" Dr. Shirley replied happily before she left.
Several moments later, a doctor came in, Dr. Richard. Of course, he knocked first before entering Yugi's room. The boy lit up his eyes from the TV, which showed the show Judge Brown, since Yugi couldn't find anything good to watch.
"Mr. Moto, you have some visitors," Dr. Richard said.
"Who?" Yugi asked.
"Joey Wheeler, Tea Garner, and Tristan Taylor."
"Bring them in!"
"Very well, Mr. Moto."
The doctor left and Yugi's three friends arrived with two Get Well balloons. Yugi smiled as his friends surrounded his bed with happy smiles.
"Hey man, we heard you got into trouble by some gang. Sorry about that," Joey said.
"It's fine! I was kidnapped actually, but I managed to pull through," Yugi replied like it was no big deal.
"Kidnapped? Damn! What'd they do to you?" Tristan asked in shock.
"They tied me to a chair, one of them tried to rape me. I gave them the slip," Yugi replied honestly. Tea gasped in slight horror.
"Wow, that's badass!" Joey complimented. "I mean I knew you were slick, but... DAMN!"
"Not as lucky, I fell two stories high and those bastards tried to kill me. I suppose I'm lucky I survived. Hey, at least I don't have to go to school, right?" Yugi shrugged with a huge childish smile.
"I suppose you have a point," Joey agreed. "Though, you still have makeup work."
"True."
"Hope you like our presents," Tristan said, eying the balloons.
"Thanks!" Yugi thanked his friends.
"I also got you this," Tea said, bringing out a rectangle box of chocolates. A hint of pink entered her cheeks. "I didn't know what to get you, so..."
"Is there caramel?" Yugi asked.
"It's a variety, but I'm sure you'll find some."
"Sweet!" Yugi replied as he got out the box and took out a piece of chocolate before throwing it in his mouth. "My lucky day!"
The boys laugh as Yugi noticed Tea blushing madly red. He smiled at his friends before hearing a knock on the door. 'Gee, is everyone knocking on my door these days? I'm surprised I got any ounce of sleep!' Yugi thought in his head, giving Yami something to laugh about. It ended up being a nurse bringing in Yugi's lunch. They had brought in scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast.
"Here's your breakfast, sir. If you need anything, just give us a call!" The nurse said before leaving the room.
"Oh sweet mama!" Joey responded, drooling over Yugi's lunch. Tea pulled the blond by the back of the shirt and gave him a rebuking glare.
"That's Yugi's! Why are you always thinking with your stomach?" Tea asked glaringly.
"Hey, I'm a guy! Guy's gotta eat!" Joey shrugged as Yugi chuckled, then got out his fork.
"You can have some of this if you like," Yugi offered.
"Na, it's yours, buddy!" Joey insisted.
"Besides, if you let Joey have some, he might eat the whole bit!" Tristan teased as Joey shot his friend a glare.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!"
"By the way, aren't you supposed to be in school soon?" Yugi asked after biting a piece of bacon.
"It's fine! We've got thirty minutes before we have to leave!" Joey assured as Yugi snorted a chuckle.
"Which is why you're always late for class," Yugi noted with a sly smirk.
"Hey, since when did you decide to copy Tristan?"
"Since I find it hilarious when you get pissed."
"Oh, yeah, you're a real pal," Joey said sarcastically in a teasing manner as Yugi chuckled a laugh.
The four friends hung out and talked for several minutes. Yugi and Joey played Duel Monsters for several minutes. It was a good thing Seto brought in Yugi's deck when coming by to visit. After a long while, Joey and Tristan decided to leave off for school, especially since Joey didn't want to get schooled by Yugi for the 15th time in a row.
Tea stayed behind and Yugi said, "thanks for visiting, Tea. I like you alot."
"Th-Thanks," Tea replied, blush on her cheeks. Yugi found this very cute. 'Perhaps I should give her my phone number,' Yugi thought. "I'm glad you survived that. I was scared... when I found out you were attacked by a gang. You see... a few months ago, I was working in Burger World. Y-You won't-"
"Secret's safe with me," Yugi promised, knowing it was not allowed for students in Domino High to be working at jobs. He was an exception, since him and Seto were considered legal adults.
"Anyways, one day a criminal came and held me at gunpoint. I've never been scared in my life! If it wasn't for Joey... I would've died."
"What happened? What'd Joey do?"
"Well, the criminal put a blind fold on me, so I can't exactly tell you the exact story, other than what Joey told me. He was forced to give the guy a bottle of volka and cigarettes. Joey did as he was told with no question. When I recognized that it was Joey being forced to to this, I told him to run. The guy slapped me and..." Tea explained, and then a smile creeped up, along with a snort. "He punched the guy and there was a huge fight between the two. Joey shot him to the ground and last I heard, he was dead. Luckily, Joey shot him out of defense, so he wasn't charged for murder. Not to mention the guy was on death row anyways."
"I'm very sorry about that."
"It's fine. I owe Joey my life! In fact... that's how we became friends. I used to hate him before, because he was so rough and always picked on the weak. Though, he has a good heart and alot of the playful acts he does can be mistaken for bullying. I still wish he'd stop them."
"I noticed," Yugi smirked while rolling his eyes.
"Anyways, I better get going before I get a tardy," Tea said before she began walking toward the door.
"Wait! There's something I wanna give you for the chocolates!" Yugi mentioned before taring up a piece of paper from the breakfast tray, which was under his breakfast, then began looking for a writing utensil.
"You don't need to give me anything Yu-" Tea assured, slightly laughing, before being cut off.
"You have a pen I can borrow?" Yugi asked as Tea gave him a questionable look, then nodded, give him a pen from her purse. Yugi scribbled down something on the paper he tore up from the tray; he then gave it to Tea. A blush entered Tea's cheeks. Was Yugi giving out his phone number? He smiled childishly and made a chuckling sound. "I like you, Tea. I'd like for you to call me sometime."
"Really? That's very sweet of you, Yugi!" Tea blushed as Yugi gave her a wink. She also wrote down her phone number and gave it to Yugi. "I'll see ya later!"
"You too!" Yugi replied before Tea left. After the door closed, Yugi's eyelids halfly closed. "She so totally digs me."
"So you have noticed!" Yami said, appearing next to Yugi.
"Well duh! Why do you think I was playing the shy type? Girls like her dig shy boys!"
"So acting shy is your way of flirting huh?"
"Yep! I'm perfect for her too! I own a multimillion dollar company, a mansion with butlers and maids that do what I say, and I'm attracting her without revealing any of the other two! I need a girl to settle down with... one that isn't afraid of showing affection and can handle me. If Tea can handle Joey and Tristan, I'm sure she can handle me."
"The question is if she'll ever see the true side of you."
"I guess she'll have to wait for that moment. I want to make sure her hormones are attracted to me enough before I show my real side. Tea's already into me. There's nothing much for me to do, than to wait for her call and let love take its root," Yugi smirked while his arms laid behind his head. Then, his smirk turned to a frown. "There's also the game I promised Mokuba. Maybe I should give him a call."
"You think Solomon and Mokuba might be linked to your real family?" Yami asked.
"I think so. I did feel some sort of connection when I saw them. I'm gonna have to contact Mokuba... after I get out of this hospital."
"Hopefully you shouldn't be here that long."
"True to that. You know, it's kinda nice having you around... when you're not possessing me like a demon or something."
"I meant you no harm, Yugi."
"I know, though it's still kind of annoying. When I do need help, I'll let you know, okay Yami."
"Okay," Yami agreed with a chuckle. "Besides, I believe Seto said you both were off today. You can invite Mokuba!"
"Not to mention the doctors said I can go home today after they take the dressing off!"
"That too!"
