Somehow Yami had convinced Yugi to go to school. Yami had sworn he'd be just fine, and after much deliberation, Yugi had agreed.
Yugi wrote down the last answer and packed up his stuff as the bell rang. He grabbed his bag and went to sit with his friends.
As soon as he sat down Joey, not even needing to look up, asked, "What's wrong, Yuge?"
Yugi sighed, and began to shuffle his deck.
"Yugi," Joey tapped his shoulder, "What's up?"
Yugi looked up, "Something happened to…Yami…"
"What was it?" Joey asked, worried, as he could see that Yugi was upset. He spoke softly, trying to keep the conversation between the two of them, while the others watched Tristan drink a 2L bottle of soda.
"I'll tell you this afternoon," Yugi shrugged.

Yami, who'd had enough of resting, dressed in jeans and a shirt, while he couldn't deny that he was in a lot of pain, he hated to be lazy. He found the key to the shop and decided that he might as well do something with himself. The short walk there was a somewhat painful one, but at least he'd have something to do.
He began opening boxes and stocking shelves, stopping every now and again, to rest.
XXXXXX
At the end of the day, as he was leaving, Yugi heard someone yell, "Wait!"
It was Joey, he rushed over and walked along with Yugi, out of the school gate, "Now tell me, what happened."
Yugi thought for a moment, then just decided to tell his best friend the truth, "You know how Yami is like, my Millennium Spirit?"
"Uh…I guess so…"
"Well, Ryou has one too, we call him Bakura…"
"Your point is?" Joey frowned.
"Bakura is evil, Joey! Argh, you should've seen what he did to Yami…it was horrible…"
"Go on…"
"Yami was only trying to defend me…but well, to put it bluntly, Bakura literally smashed him against a tiled bench…." Yugi squirmed a little.
"Holy…is he gonna be okay?"
"Yeah…but I hate to see him hurt."
"Guess what I'm doin' this weekend," Joey miled, changing the subject.
"What?"
"I'm visitin' Serenity," Joey grinned widely.
"That's great! Tell her that your awesome friend says 'hi'," Yugi laughed as he reached his house.
"Will do!" Joey grinned, waved and ran off.
Yugi walked in and put down his bag, "Yami! I'm home!" He smiled, scanning the lounge for his seme. No answer.
He thought nothing of it and went to his room, still no pharaoh. He put on his blue skinny jeans and a green shirt. A few minutes later Crash returned home and turned on the TV, still no Yami. Yugi slumped on his bed and sighed.
"I'm back," Yami walked in and smiled.
"Oh, hey!" Yugi grinned as Yami sat with him. He looked a little better, but still quite weak. Yugi rushed off ad returned with aspirin, Yami took the medication.
"Thankyou."
"Where were you?" Yugi moved across, he sat up and let Yami lay down.
"At the shop, Yugi, I'm feeling a little better actually."
"That's great, Atem."
"Oh, I checked the mail, too, here," Yami passed Yugi a postcard, it was from Solomon.
It had a tranquil blue ocean and beach scene on one side and a message on the other.
To Yugi, Atem and Chris,
The cruise is just splendid, again thankyou to Yugi for the ticket. Wish you could all see the amazing views I get from the balcony. I hope everything is going smoothly and the house isn't TOO messy. I'll see you all soon.
From, Solomon.
Yugi smiled and ran out to put it on the fridge with a magnet.
He looked over to where Crash was watching cartoons, "How was your day, Crash?"
"Fine…" Crash answered.
Yugi laughed at his response and turned to leave.
"Is Yami okay?" Crash asked.
Yugi nodded, "Yeah."
"Um, Yugi, can I talk to you?"
Yugi shrugged, "Sure," He sat down on the couch with Chris.
"You're my big brother right?"
"Um…yeah…of course."
"Well how come you won't tell me what happened to Yami?"
"It's a long story, Crash…" Yugi sighed, using his adopted brother's nickname.
"Someone hurt him, right?"
"Yes, that's right…" Yugi nodded.
"Okay," Crash was happy with that answer, "Do you love Yami?"
"Yes…"
"Does he love you?"
Yugi nodded, "Yeah."
Crash frowned, "Are you always gonna be together?"
"I hope so…"
"Have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Nope," What is this, twenty questions?
"So are you Yami's girlfriend?"
Yugi really didn't know what to say to that one.
"Yugi is my boyfriend," Yami walked over, "and I'm his boyfriend," Yami squeezed Yugi's shoulder and sat with them.
"Oh, okay…" Crash nodded.
"And as for my injuries, I'm just fine," Yami smiled, even though he was still in quite a lot of pain.
"Okay," Crash nodded. Yami stayed on the couch and Yugi began to cook dinner, which would be a stir-fry considering Yugi wasn't a very good cook.
XXXXXX
They finished eating and washed up. Crash began his homework in his room and Yami sat with Yugi on the couch.
Yugi curled up with a cushion in his lap and gazed at Yami. Apparently Yami didn't notice because he made no advancements on Yugi, he just kept flicking the channels, in fact he seemed quite taken by surprise when Yugi threw the pillow at him. Yugi, smiling at the pharaoh, moved so he was on his stomach and was leaning on his elbows, his head on his hands, looking up at Yami.
"You look cute," Yami told his boyfriend and stroked his face.
Yugi blushed and took one of Yami's hand. He turned it around in his own, inspecting its long slender fingers, the skin, slightly darker than his own, he traced over the lines in his lover's palm, inspecting each one carefully, before threading his own fingers through the gaps between Atem's.
"It's Thursday…Perhaps I will be able to go to school, tomorrow…"
"Wha? Really? You think you could handle that?" Yugi frowned, getting on his knees so he was face to face with Yami.
Yami nodded, "I'm a fast healer Yugi, I think I'll be just fine."
"Well, only if you think you can manage," Yugi curled up next to Yami and kissed him.
"You're being awfully affectionate lately, Aibou," Yami commented, kissing Yugi back softly.
Yugi blushed a little and nodded, "Kinda, can't help myself…" He trailed off kissing Yami's mouth hard.
"Ah…Yugi…" Yami muttered through the kiss, "Maybe, you shouldn't…"
Yugi ignored him and continued to let the fact that he was a hormonal teenage boy take over, as he plunged his tongue into the mouth of his Egyptian lover's.
Yami kissed Yugi back, desperately moving his tongue around his light's mouth, until they broke apart.
Yami playfully kissed Yugi's nose, "You're really sweet Yugi…"
Yugi nestled into Yami's neck and gently kissed it. He slipped his hands under the Pharaoh's shirt and ran his hands across his boyfriend's sculpted body.
Yami bit his lip to hold in a moan and whispered, "Y…Yugi…now isn't the best time…"
Again, Yami was proved right, as he disappeared, leaving Yugi on the couch, alone, and confused. No sooner had Yami left, had Yugi's brain begin to focus on something different. What was to be done with Ryou…
Bakura was dangerous, Yugi hated knowing that his friend Ryou was under threat.
A/N:
Uh yeah, that was uh…a chapter that uh…lead to uh…nothing…uh.
More Ryou and Bakura stuff coming soon, review it makes me update faster.
