Chapter 13

Yugi lay in his bed smiling as the taste of Yami's lips were still on his. He was still scared, but it has come to the point at which he ignored this fear. Yami had had his arms around HIM. He loved HIM. The feelings from these thoughts made his smile grow, and he was pulled into a peaceful sleep.

Yami smiled as he lay in his bedroom. He was next door to Yugi and he want to go hold him as the younger slept, but Yami knew that he needed to go one step at a time. He had until tomorrow night for the ring would be ready, and he had made plans with Yugi at noon to eat in the garden. Yami was very excited and smiled as sleep took him.

Yugi woke up to the sun's rays hitting his face. He looked at the clock to find it was 8 o'clock. 'Darn it!' Yugi thought. 'I have to wait THAT long to go on my date with Yami?' Yugi froze. 'WOW! My date with Yami … That kinda sounds weird…' Yugi smiled all the same. He got dressed in his everyday Egyptian cloths and walked into the hall. He started to walk towards the kitchen when something grabbed his wrist and spun him around. Yugi was surprised to see this culprit was Yami. Yami smirked at Yugi's surprised look and closed the gap between them. Yami kissed Yugi's head and then looked into Yugi's eyes.

"I'm really looking forward to lunch. See you then." Yami moved away from Yugi, and Yugi shivered from the loss of heat. Yugi turned and watched as Yami went into the kitchen. Yugi finally went into the kitchen as well and grabbed an apple. Yami's eyes locked with Yugi's at one point and Yami winked at him. Yugi could feel his face heat up at the attention and he slowly moved out of the room. Yami chuckled at the boy's shy antics. Nope, he couldn't wait until noon.

Yugi walked though the palace in search for Heba. He had heard that his twin brother was last spotted in the ballroom and was helping with the last of the decorations for the 'Welcome Home Ball' that was tonight. It had been postponed because of all the crazy things that had been going on. (_Honestly, I COMPLETELY forgot about it! XD _)

Yugi walked into the ballroom and looked around until he spotted Heba alone in a corner. Yugi walked over to his unknowing brother.

"Boo!" Yugi said. Heba jumped and dropped the decorations he held in his hands. He turned and looked at Yugi. He glared at the younger and crossed his arms.

"Why did you do that?" Heba asked, only half mad.

"Sorry, couldn't resist." Yugi laughed as Heba picked up the decorations.

"You seem in a cheerful mood." Heba smirked at Yugi's puzzled face.

"What do you mean?" Yugi asked as he watched his brother put up the decorations.

Heba's smirk only widened.

"I mean, you seem like you've fallen in love." Heba batted his eyes at Yugi and laughed as Yugi's face went red.

"W-what?" Yep, that was kinda all Yugi could really say as he covered his blushing cheeks.

"You walked into the room like you were floating or something. What's going on?" Heba said, ending his jokes for the time being.

"I-I'm having lunch with Yami today," said Yugi.

"Oh! Wait…you're going on a date with Yami? That's great!" Heba dropped the decorations to the floor again and hugged his brother. "Awwww! My little Yugi is growing up!"

"Heba, get off of me!" Yugi said as he clawed his brother off of his body. "And we are the SAME age."

"I'm older by 5 minutes." Heba smirked as he picked up the decorations and heard Yugi huff and leave the room.

It was finally 12 o'clock and Yugi was sitting down waiting for Yami.

"Sorry, if I'm late." Yugi's head spun around to see Yami walked towards him. Yugi stood up; he was very nervous. He wasn't used to this kind of relationship with Yami.

Yami smirked at Yugi, and Yugi felt his knees get weak. Yami wrapped his arm around Yugi's waist and pulled him close. Yami gave Yugi a quick kiss on the lips and spun him around like they were dancing.

"Ahh!" Yugi cried in surprise.

"What's the matter?" Yami said huskily into Yugi's ear after he had pulled the younger back against him. Yugi shivered and Yami chuckled. "Let's eat, shall we?" Yami led Yugi back to the table and they sat on opposite sides from each other.

"So, Yugi, I have a question," Yami said taking Yugi's hand and massaging it.

"Y-yes?" Yugi replied, enjoying Yami's treatment.

"Would you go to the ball with me?" Yami looked up at Yugi and could see that the boy was nervous. "You don't have to be nervous Yugi. I know you very well."

Yugi smiled and said, "Y-yes, I'll go with you." Yami smiled back at him and kissed Yugi's hand.

"Don't be nervous Aibou," Yami said, his breath hitting Yugi's hand. Yugi blushed a bright red making Yami smirk. That smirk made Yugi go so weak, but he loved it!

The two sat and ate lunch together for about an hour laughing and talking. Yami could feel that Yugi was slowly losing his nerves, so he decided to take him out for a walk around the garden.

After they were done eating, Yami took Yugi's hand and lead him through the garden. Along the way they held hands, and then Yugi decided to lean on Yami. Yami smiled, put his arm around Yugi's waist and pulled him closer. Yugi blushed and Yami kissed the top of his head. Yami thought that Yugi was adorable when he blushed, and he loved it! Yugi's blushes made him want to kiss him senseless, but he kept himself under control. Once they were done, Yugi's cousins came out and dragged him away to get him ready for the ball. Yami could only laugh as Yugi protested the idea. All though, unknown to Yami, another handful of cousins came and dragged him inside for the same purpose.

Yugi sat in his room as he talked with his cousins and they planed how he would look at the ball. They laughed and chattered for hours, and Yugi smiled at what the future would bring.

Yami did the same as Yugi. He chatted with Yugi's cousins and told them his plan. They promised not to tell Yugi, and they all talked about how he would react. Yami smiled at what the future might hold…and what he would hopefully hold.

Annime: Whatcha think?

Yami: I liked it! (smirks) Please review!
