Chapter 10

This was going to be an important day. That's what Yami thought when he opened his eyes. He slept alone in his pad. He was so nervous. He didn't want to be with Yugi if he still had doubt about seeing his son.

It's already been a week since Vivian went to his office to talk. They met last night, had dinner, and talked about their son. She told Yami everything he needs to know about Ching. And Yami must admit, for someone who claimed her son was better off being brought up by her parents than by her, Vivian knew a lot of things about their son.

"You're hoping you could just forget everything and raise him on your own, right?" Yami asked. He and Vivian were in a restaurant having a conversation.

Vivian paused, and then looked at Yami. "I can't do that. I don't want to—"

"You don't want your son seeing you changing boyfriends every time," Yami said cutting her off. He was sure that was Vivian was going to say. "Then why don't you stop?"

"We're talking about our child here, Yami, not me." Vivian said anger evident in her eyes.

Yami regretted doing that. He was worried that Vivian might change her mind meeting his son. "I'm sorry. I really had no right to do that."

Vivian averted his gaze and gulped. "I want to find him a…family, a father that will love him and treat him like his own child, and a house where he could feel at-home."

"Don't, Vivian." Yami said softly.

Vivian looked at him. Before she even had the chance to speak, Yami spoke first.

"You're better than that. Don't."

Vivian paused and paled. A moment passed before she decided to go to the restroom.

When Vivian came back her eyes was red and puffy but she was calm. She continued telling the story about their son.

Yami went to visit Yugi after having dinner with Vivian. He knew that Yugi was quietly waiting for him. Yami did more than peek. He went inside. He accepted Yugi's kiss and hug. He enjoyed the comfort and assurance that Yugi's presence gave to him.

But after that Yami left again and went home to his pad. He could feel Yugi's doubt. But Yugi didn't say anything about it. And Yami was grateful. Yugi knew that he was still having problems about meeting Ching. Yugi just hope that everything will be fine for Yami.

This was going to be an important day for Yami and his son, Ching. Yugi knew that he mustn't feel insecure about it. If Yami can overcome this challenge, then he would be happy for him. Yugi would be happy to become a part of his son's life. He had nothing more to wish but for Yami to be happy.

Yugi was determined to hide his worry to Yami. He was grateful that Yami left him last night. If they were together all day, Yami would know how troubled he was. And he didn't want Yami to worry about it, he has his own problems to deal with.

Yugi had a listless night. He couldn't sleep. And because of that, he woke up tired and has dark circles under his eyes. Yugi needed to sleep again but his mind protested and decided to get out of bed. He took a bath, had a quick breakfast and took some aspirin for his headache.

Yugi was thinking of taking a day off, but he didn't want to stay all day in the condo unit. That's why he decided to go to work to occupy his mind.

But his thoughts kept wandering back to Yami. And how his visit to his son was doing. Yugi couldn't do his work. He couldn't concentrate. Yugi grabbed his car key from his bag and left his messy desk. He left the office and went to the nearest mall.

There was nothing like shopping to occupy Yugi's troubled soul. He bought Yami a new tennis racket, a set of boxers for his sleepwear in his condo, and a cute house slippers.

But when Yugi took a break in a coffee shop, he was still troubled. What was happening to Yami now? He gulped. God…Yugi really hoped he was okay. Yugi knew he was being insecure, but he would rather remain insecure than face Yami after today with his shoulders drooping, because his son didn't accept him as his father. Yugi just shook his head and continued his shopping.

Yami couldn't find Yugi anywhere and his phone was unattended. Where is Yugi?

He wanted to tell Yugi about his day with his son. After talking with Ching, the first person he wanted to see was Yugi. But he couldn't find him anywhere. Yugi wasn't in his office, not in his house, and Yami can't even call him through his phone. Yugi must have buried his phone in his bag or left it in his car.

Yugi must be shopping.

Yami felt guilty that he was only thinking about himself because of his son and forgot about Yugi's worries. Yami tried to think of something that might ease Yugi's worries.

Yami then grinned. Of course! There was only one way.

It was time he paid his mother a visit. She had been asking for it for weeks…

Yugi forgot his cellphone inside his car. He just discovered that Yami had been calling when he saw his ten missed calls. Yugi immediately dialed Yami's number and called him.

"I'm so sorry! I got so carried away with shopping I did not realize my phone wasn't with me." Yugi said.

"Shopping?" Yami asked. "On a working day?"

Yugi smiled. "I was so worried about you." He just then realized his voice was lightly shaking. "So, your day went well?"

But Yami ignored his last question. His voice was gruff when he spoke again. "Yugi…I'm so sorry. I should not have let you go through this."

"Oh, but it's all right. There's nothing wrong, is there? It went well?" Yugi asked.

"It did. More than we had imagined, you and I. We had a normal conversation, and I think he doesn't see me like a monster anymore. He liked the computer game I gave him." Yami said.

"Thank God! I told you, Ching's a good kid." Yugi said.

"When he found out you're my boyfriend, it did a lot to make him perk up to me." Yami said.

"Really?" Yugi asked smiling. "I'm glad I'm of some help."

"More than you can imagine, love." Yami said.

"Yami…" Yugi said.

"Will you go home now before I say my first confession on the phone?" Yami asked.

Yugi laughed. His voice was mixed with tears and happiness when he asked. "Where?"

"I'm here in yours. I'll be waiting for you. And be careful, love." Yami said.

"I will." Yugi promised.

Yugi had to wipe some tears from his face before he could start driving. And in all his life, it was the first time that he drove towards his condo in only ten minutes. He left the things he bought and ran towards the elevators. And when Yugi opened the door to his unit, he quickly threw himself into Yami's waiting arms.

"You are fast." Yami said.

"My car was almost flying." Yugi admitted.

"Yugi!" Yami exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I'm here now. I'm fine. No tickets, see?" Yugi said, raising his head from Yami's chest. Yami promptly kissed him hard on his lips.

And Yugi was swept away by the feeling at that kiss, so much, that when Yami raised his head again, tears were coursing down Yugi's cheeks.

"I should have done this last night, so wouldn't have to go through the day like that." Yami said as he fished something out from his pocket.

Yugi's eyes widened when he saw the ring. "Y-Yami…"

"I got it from my mother. I promised her that I will use this ring if I offered marriage. And damn it to hell, I'm not going to be stuck with a broken engagement this time, all right? If you accept this ring right now, we're going to be married next week, in my uncle's. He's a judge. I will follow Ryou and Bakura's footsteps, to make sure that you can't escape." Yami said.

Yugi giggled. "If that's how the way you propose how can I say no?"

Yami stared at Yugi. His face was blank.

"Yami isn't there any 'I love you'?" Yugi asked disappointed.

Yami continued staring at him for a moment before his cheeks went red. "Oh, my God, I'm such a dumb klutz, am I?"

Yugi reached up and placed his hands on Yami's reddened cheeks. "You're the most handsome klutz I have ever met." He whispered to him.

"I am so in love with you, Yugi." Yami said.

"And I love you too." Yugi said.

And their lips met in a passionate kiss. Now they know that everything is going to be all right.

Nylde: Yeah! Yami proposed to Yugi at last! And they're getting married!

Wish: Yugi has also a gift to give Yami. Can you guess what it is? It is the best gift anyone can receive in their wedding day!

Maker: Please review.

Nylde: See you on the last chapter!
