A/N - Alright, I'm on a roll! Air heads must have magical writing powers in them!

Yugi Mutou, a college student who lived with his two boyfriends, shivered as the cold air of the late night blew down his neck unpleasantly. He was bundled in a gray sweatshirt with a black jacket over it and had on jeans, yet the wind still got to him.

He could see his breath come out in white puffs whenever he exhaled, making him wish he hadn't stayed at the library so late to study so that he could have called either Yami or Atem to pick him up earlier.

The sound of metal clanking against the concrete made him jump out of his skin as he whipped his head around frantically to see what had caused such a loud noise. His eyes were now wide as the feeling of fear slowly started to seep in. Yugi tried to pass it off as nothing and kept walking, although at a faster pace.

He kept at a good pace for a few more blocks before he got that eerie feeling again. The feeling of being silently watched. His heart beat faster when the sound of shuffling could be heard not far behind him. Fear finally taking over, he began to run like a madman back to his house. Yugi would stumble every now and then, but begged himself not to fall incase someone…or something… was still behind him. He knew it could have been nothing, but he had rather be safe than sorry.

Every time he passed under a streetlight he would pray that no one would suddenly jump out in front of him. He continued on like this for a few more minutes until the view of his house could be seen. He already had his house key in his grip, ready to shove it in the door and dart inside.

Just as he reached the lawn of his home, he heard footsteps running behind him and deep haggard breathes. To scared to even turn around, he leapt for the porch, and with shaking hands, undid the lock on the door. He threw himself inside and slammed the door shut, making sure to do all of the bolts on the door.

"Yugi, you home?" Atem's voice called from somewhere else in the house.

Yugi could not find his voice. He was beyond paranoid and quickly went around the house, closing every curtain, and making sure every window and door was locked. Once he was sure that everything was secure, he ran into the den where both Yami and Atem sat on the couch, watching TV.

They noticed the look of terror on Yugi's face and instantly became concerned.

"Aibou, what's wrong?" Yami asked as he stood.

He barely had time to brace himself before Yugi threw himself into his arms. Yami, stunned, immediately wrapped his arms around Yugi reflexively.

"Yugi, what happened?" Atem asked anxiously. "Did someone hurt you?" he came behind Yugi and rubbed his back soothingly.

They got no answer as Yugi simply shook and took deep intakes of breath. Yami noticed how cold he was and told Atem to get him an extra blanket from the closet.

Once Atem returned, they wrapped the blanket around Yugi and sat back on the couch. Atem to his left and Yami to his right.

"Yugi, you're scaring us…"Atem whispered.

He ran his fingers through Yugi's hair while Yami wrapped his arm around Yugi's shoulders and took one of his hands. Yugi, now secure with his boyfriends on either side of him, snuggled closer to both of them.

"I-I was on my way back from the library…" Yugi said with his voice cracking every now and then. "And I kept hearing all these weird noises… like someone was following me."

Yami and Atem were now both alert and looking intently at Yugi who was still wide eyed.

"I got this really bad feeling after a while…so I started to run. And when I saw the house I heard someone breathing and running behind me…" he pressed closer into Yami's side.

Just then the sound of the metal garbage cans outside knocked together. Yugi jumped in fright and gripped Yami's hand tightly in his own.

"What was that?" Yami asked.

Atem narrowed his eyes and stood from the couch.

"Atem, no!" Yugi shrieked.

Atem turned back around to see the scared and alarmed look on both Yugi and Yami's faces. He bent down and slowly placed a kiss on both his boyfriends lips.

"You two stay here…I'm gonna go check this out," he grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around both of them.

He made his way to leave the room, but stopped and grabbed the fire poker after an afterthought.

Yami held Yugi close as they listened to Atem's retreating footsteps. They heard him go towards the front door, and then the sound of the locks being undone could be heard. Yugi's heart was hammering so loudly in his ears, he could barely think.

Yami, not sure what to expect, tried to calm Yugi down by placing kisses to the side of his neck.

"Shh... It's probably just a stray dog or something," Yami whispered soothingly.

Back at the front of the house, Atem turned on the flashlight he had grabbed from a drawer and slowly closed the door. With the fire poker secured in one hand, he quietly made his way around the house.

The air blew across his tanned skin, making goose bumps appear. He ignored the chilling feeling and continued to make his way around the house. Once he reached the spot where they kept their trash cans, he gasped lightly and quickly turned off the flashlight.

Fiddling with the window that went down into their basement, was a man dressed in black. Atem's heart thudded in his ears. He had the sudden urge to run back into the house. He then remembered the terrified look on Yugi and Yami's faces and suddenly became furious. The man had no right to scare his lovers in such a way!

Being extremely quiet, he snuck closer to the figure who seemed to be having a horrible time trying to get the window to open. If the situation hadn't been so serious, Atem would have laughed, for the basement window was sealed shut and could only be opened if the window itself was broken.

Gathering up all of his courage, Atem took the handle part of the poker, and slammed it into the back of the figure's head. The figure immediately slumped and Atem prayed that he had not killed the man.

His nerves now shot, he stumbled his way back into the house and immediately grabbed the phone. He called the police and explained the situation to them.

In the other room Yami and Yugi could both hear Atem talking to someone on the phone. They dared not move, since Atem told them to stay where they were.

After a few more minutes Atem appeared. His hands were slightly shaking and his skin was a tad paler than it should have been. Both Yugi and Yami launched themselves at Atem, asking if he was okay.

"Listen you two," Atem said in a serious tone. "There was a man outside, trying to break in." Yugi gripped his arm tightly. "I knocked him out and the police are on their way to retrieve him."

Yami nodded rapidly. "So where is he now?"

Atem cocked his head to the side. "Outside. Don't worry, he won't be waking up for awhile."

A few hours later, Yugi, Yami, and Atem all collapsed onto their bed. Each one of them had been questioned by the police. Yugi had to retell his walk home and all the strange things he had heard. Yami and Atem had to report how upset Yugi had been when coming home. And then Atem had finally ended it by telling them his part in knocking out the strange man. The police had then thanked them and taken the unconscious man away.

They were now all exhausted and fell into a peaceful sleep, knowing the man was in custody of the police.

A/N- Man I was scaring myself while writing this. I was thinking that maybe at the end I should have had the mans face flash in their window, but then I thought it would be TOO creepy and decided to cut it.

And I know normally Yami probably wouldn't have been as scared as he was. But I see Atem as, I guess you could say, "the man of the house", so I thought he should be the one to protect everyone XD
