Chapter 10
Mezame
The friends were all gathered in Yami's room waiting for the doctor to get a free moment to come wake Yami up. The tube had been removed and Yami was breathing just fine on his own. His left leg's tibia still had a small crack in it, but not big enough to affect much. Four of his ribs still had cracks in them, but luckily there were no other injuries and Yami would be fine within a week.
The doctor walked in and sighed, he glanced through Yami's charts as he walked over to him. "Okay. This" he said holding up a needle "this will release him from the coma. However, he may continue to sleep for, up to, a few hours."
"Okay. But, he'll no longer be in the coma right?"
"Correct. But he may still sleep. Please notify me when he wakes up if he does not wake up while I'm in here."
"Okay."
The doctor put the syringe into the IV and released the fluids "This'll take a few minutes to take full effect."
They all watched Yami's sleeping form for any sign of movement.
Yugi's eyes were rimmed red from the crying he'd done, but, he looked healthy and smelled like strawberries according to Joey. Yugi stood by Yami's bedside, careful to stay out of the way of the doctor.
They were standing for what felt like forever, even though it'd only been about thirty minutes. Yami's brows furrowed as the doctor walked back in to check on him. "I think he's waking up doc" Seto said, watching his cousin.
"Excuse me" the doctor said politely as he stepped around Seto to stand next to Yami. "Yami? Can you hear me?"
Yami slowly blinked his eyes open. He got them halfway open before he began to take in his surroundings. "Yami?"
The doctor pulled out his tiny flashlight and shined it in Yami's eyes. Yami closed his eyes and turned his head away "Can I get my fucking eyes open before you shine that in my eyes?!"
"Yep, he's okay" the doctor chuckled, causing the group of friends to laugh along with him.
It took him a few minutes, but Yami was finally able to open his eyes all the way. "Okay. I'm awake now."
"Okay. Can you follow my flashlight, only with your eyes." The doctor waved the flashlight in multiple directions, Yami following it with his eyes wherever it went. "Good" the doctor said as he pocketed his flashlight. He scribbled something down on the charts before pulling on his stethoscope and listening to Yami's heartbeat. "Sounds good. Let's check your ears, eyes, and throat." The doctor grabbed his tools and checked Yami's ears and eyes. He suddenly stopped while he was looking at Yami's throat. "Yami? Is your throat sore?"
"A little bit. Why?"
"Because it's irritated. Does it itch?"
"Yeah."
"Are you able to sit up Yami?"
"I hope so, this position is starting to hurt my back."
"Let's prop you up first, then we'll sit you up slowly."
"Sounds good to me."
The doctor pushed a button on the bed and asked a nurse to bring a couple pillows. "Okay, Seto and Duke, you two look strong enough to hold him steady. Can you guys grab his shoulders and gently lift him so I can get the pillows behind him?"
"Doc, I can lift myself you know."
"You shouldn't be lifting any weight, that includes your own, until I check over you and make sure you're okay."
Yami groaned and laid his head back. The three others worked together and were finally able to get him propped up so he could see everyone. "Comfortable?"
"Yeah" Yami said a bored look on his face. Yami heard Yugi giggle and couldn't help but smile and let a chuckle escape his lips. He turned to face Yugi and the smile dropped from his face as he saw Yugi's poofy red eyes. "Yugi?"
"I'm okay" Yugi croaked as a tear rolled down his cheek.
Yami lifted his left hand to Yugi's right cheek, a concerned look on his face. "You don't look okay."
Yugi leaned into Yami's hand "I'm okay now though."
A small smile went across Yami's face as Yugi put his forehead to his. "I was just worried about you" Yugi cried quietly, his tears landing on Yami's cheeks.
Yami put his hands up on either side of Yugi's face, wiping away the tears gently. "I told you I'd be okay."
"I know. But you had that tube in your throat, and it was scary."
Yami tilted Yugi's head and kissed his forehead. "I had to have it to breathe though."
"I know." Yugi continued to cry quietly as he tucked his head under Yami's chin, careful not to put any weight on Yami's ribs. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi's back, careful not to pull out his IV.
Yami turned to look back at the doctor "What's the verdict doc?"
"You have four cracked ribs, and your left tibia still has a small crack in it. No heavy lifting, no cuddling with your dogs, no weight on your ribs, no work until you go through physical therapy, no running until you get the all clear from your physical therapist" at this point everyone was pretty sure Yami was going to either explode from anger or cry from being upset. "No physical labor until clearance from your physical therapist, and, I have to mention this, no sexual activity until you are completely healed."
"Right, because I just go out fucking whoever I feel like" Yami said sarcastically, flailing his arms to add to dramatics. Yugi couldn't help the giggle that bubbled past his lips at Yami's dramatics. Yami chuckled as he tilted his head to look at Yugi's face "What are you giggling at?" He asked playfully.
Yugi looked up at Yami a smile on his face "You're so dramatic" he giggled.
"The doctor started it" Yami pouted.
"You poor thing" Yugi said as he lifted his head to look Yami in the eyes.
"I know. My life is so rough."
Yugi couldn't help but giggle at the face Yami was making. The two of them sat there laughing quietly together, just enjoying being together.
The doctor left the room for a little bit, leaving the group of friends to sit and talk for a while. Yugi had sat on the left side of Yami's bed, careful not to touch anything that was attached to him, or touch his ribs. "Did you enjoy your sleep Yami?" Ryou asked.
"I did. I'm still kinda tired, but I feel a lot better."
"How's your throat?" Duke asked.
"It's sore. Probably just a cold. I'll be okay." Yami covered his mouth as he yawned "You'd think I'd be wide awake" he chuckled quietly.
"The doctor said you'd probably want to sleep for a while after you woke up" Seto explained.
"He was right about that. I'm beat" Yami sighed as he relaxed into the pillows he was propped up on.
Yugi smiled and ran his right hand over Yami's forehead, running his fingers back through Yami's hair. He kissed Yami gently on the forehead "Get some sleep Yami. There's plenty of time for talking, right now you need rest."
Yami smiled as a quiet chuckle rumbled through his throat. He placed his hands on either side of Yugi's face "Just for a few minutes. I'll see you in my dreams, now that I'm somewhat concious to have dreams. I'd kiss you on the lips, but my throat is sore. If it is a cold, I'd rather you not get it. Better safe than sorry" he whispered, a smile on his face as he tilted Yugi's head down and kissed him on the forehead.
Yugi's cheeks turned light pink with his blush as a giggle escaped his lips. "Go to sleep Romeo, before I knock you out" he joked.
Yami grinned "Okay. I'll go to sleep." He lowered his eyelids as their foreheads were placed together "I love you" Yami whispered.
"I love you too" Yugi whispered back before kissing Yami on the cheek. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight" Yami whispered as his eyelids drooped closed.
Me: Okay, I'm to tired to type anymore. Allergies are kicking my ass :( Constantly having to sneeze but not being able to... So dumb. Just so you guys know, Yami was awake for a few hours talking to his friends, I just kind of shortened the conversation they had. :3 Anyway, I'm going to bed. ^w^ And as always, until next time guys and gals :3 *waves* Goodbye!
