Ch.11 On the run from everything
The sun shone dimly though the dirty windows. Yami slowly got up and peeked out the door, The coast was clear, at least for now. They'd have to hurry. Yami had never been on the run before but he knew it was never a good idea to stay in one place to long.
"Yuugi." Yami whispered shaking the small boys shoulder. It almost hurt to wake him, He looked so cute….so angelic when he slept. "It's time to wake up." Yuugi stirred and opened his eyes. Yami was hopping nervously from one foot to the other. "Come on we have to get out of here!" Yami picked up his jacket and put it on. Yuugi stretched and yawned "Why?" Yami kneeled so he was eye-to-eye with Yuugi. "Because if they find us they'll take you away from me." Yuugi's small eyes widened. He looked so cute. Yami had to restrain himself to keep from kissing him. He moved a small stand of hair out of Yuugi's face. He got up and headed toward the door, suddenly distant. "Come on," He said, "Lets go."
They walked to a small clothing store just at the edge of the suburbs where they lived. Yami bought Yuugi a heavy coat and himself an new shirt.
"He sure is cute!" said an overly perky sales assistant who Pointed to Yuugi, holding on to Yamis hand for dear life. "Is he your little brother?"
"Yeah something like that." Yami said handing her the money. He considered briefly, Calling his dad, just to let him know he was okay. But he nixed the idea, The cops would probably check there first. Yami pulled his hood low over his head. "Put yours up too." he said gesturing to his hood. Yuugi pulled his hood so low it almost completely covered his large purple eyes. They walked to a café a few blocks away. They sat at a booth by the window, Yami picking nervously at his bagel, Yuugi inhaling down his muffin. Yami watched Yuugi hands as he laid them folded on the table. He tried to ignore the rush of inappropriate thoughts that rushed at him. The last thing he wanted to do was be labeled as a pedophile. Instead he busied his wandering thoughts with trying to find a place for them to sleep that night. He didn't want to sleep on the streets, They could get caught or Yuugi could get sick again. He was to young and didn't have enough money to, rent a hotel room. There was almost nowhere a sixteen year old and the boy he'd taken from his mother could hide. Maybe I should just turn myself in Yami thought , I'm trapped, I'm almost out of cash, and I'm beginning to think bad thoughts. Yuugi softly laid his hand over Yami's. "It's gonna be okay, right?" He asked looking up at Yami with a hopeful glimmer in his deep purple eyes. Yami smiled and kissed Yuugi's small warm hand. "Yeah, It's gonna be alright." He said. In his heart he wished that it was true.
