I own nothing but Yugi's father, whom I wish I could murder, but that will have to wait.
Enjoy~
Yugi sighed contentedly. That was the most food he'd had in Ra knows how long, thanks to his father. At the thought of the man, Yugi felt himself beginning to quake slightly.
Yami noticed this and quickly wrapped his arms around his little aibou, resting his chin on the smaller boy's head. Yugi smiled at the display of affection and stopping shaking, relaxing into his yami's arms.
"Yami?" Yugi whispered softly.
"Yes, watashi no ai?(1)"
"Thank you for protecting me." Yugi continued quietly. "Without you, I wouldn't have made it this far."
Yami smiled. "You're welcome, aibou. And thank you for helping me."
The boy didn't question what his yami meant, he simply nodded his head and settled for laying his head against Yami's broad chest. It was so warm...so inviting, always there if he needed a hug.
"I love you, Yami." Yugi said with a large smile, one Yami hadn't seen in far, far too long.
"And I you." The older boy replied, planting a light kiss on the top of Yugi's head lovingly.
The next morning, Yugi awoke the sound of clattering pots and pans, along with soft and gentle rain. Smiling, he poked his head outside of the window and let the rain fall onto his face.
"Aibou?" Yami's tired voice groaned, "What are you doing?"
Yugi giggled, "I was hot, so I stuck my head out of the window and let the rain fall onto my face."
Yami rose from his laying position and shook his head. "You sure have some weird ideas, Yugi."
They both laughed. The bedroom door suddenly opened, revealing Ryou, who was carrying a tray with two steaming plates of food on it.
The white haired boy blushed. "Am I interrupting something?"
Realizing what he was implying, both Yami and Yugi blushed, then shook their heads rapidly. Ryou nodded and mumbled an apology before making his way over the bed.
He set the tray own and gestured to the trays of food. "Isis made these for you two."
It was eggs, bacon, and waffles along with two glasses of orange juice (since Yugi had once stated that Yami disliked milk).
"Tell her we said thanks." Yugi said cheerily, picking up his fork immediately.
Ryou nodded and said goodbye before exiting the room, tray in hands.
"Are you going to eat, Yami?" asked Yugi jokingly. His darker half was literally staring at his food heatedly, as if he was at war with it or something.
Yami blinked before nodding his head slowly, picking up his own fork as well and digging into the waffle. Yugi shrugged and did the same, though he poured a bit more syrup on his.
"Achoo!" Yami sneezed suddenly, startling Yugi.
"Are you sick?" Yugi asked immediately, giving Yami a skeptical look when the Pharaoh shook his head.
All of a sudden, Yami began tickling his lighter half, grinning when Yugi exploded into fits of giggles. They rolled around in the bed, Yugi doubled over from laughter and Yami laughing at Yugi's tickle-ish nature.
The tickling had reminded Yugi of the life he once had, and of the life he could get yet again if only he defeated his father. But that wasn't very hard to do when he had friends like Ryou and Malik, and a lover like Yami.
Hello everyone. I haven't updated in awhile and you all know why, so I won't bother repeating myself. This chapter is short because I'm still getting over my friend's death. Thank you for all of your support, I truly appreciate it. I hope you enjoyed this fluffy chapter.
(1) This means, 'my love' in Japanese, I think. xD
Yugi: Melody is really grateful guys.
Yami: Yes. She was squealing over chocolate just a moment ago.
Me: Hey, what can I say? It was Swiss chocolate!
Ryou: Swiss chocolate is delicious.
Me: SEE?
R&R!
