Universal Love

Chapter 14

Solution: Pain

Yami walked down the hallway, he had to find Ushio before class let out, and confront him about everything. He didn't want to fight Ushio, he wanted to know what was troubling him, even if that meant he got beat up again...

If you were watching, you would think Yami was headed to a fight, his eyebrows were furrowed, a frown on his face, his shoulders were pulled back, and his body language just screamed fighting stance.

Yami was finally able to track down Ushio, luckily before the current class got out. "Ushio! C'mon, we're gonna go talk."

"I'm not going with you anywhere Sennen."

Yami sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "C'mon Ushio, can't we just do this the easy way? Just for once?"

"Go to hell Sennen!"

Yami rolled his eyes and puckered his lips out to the side "Of course... Who does it the easy way anymore? Ushio, listen, I just want to talk to you."

"I don't want to hear what you have to say Sennen" Ushio spat.

"Ushio, I know I'm not as great as all these people put me out to be" Yami said putting his hands up.

"SHUT UP!" Ushio yelled punching Yami in the face.

Yami rolled across the ground and lay there for a minute breathing heavy. He slowly got to his feet, spitting blood to the side as he stood. "I know now why you're lashing out at everyone" Yami strained to say as he walked towards Ushio again.

"I said shut up!" Ushio yelled punching Yami in the face again.

Yami skidded backwards on his back. He spit to the side and stood up again, walking towards Ushio. The classes let out just as Yami was walking back towards Ushio, everyone gathered around to watch what was going on. "You're sick of everyone being happy, while you remain broken on the inside. You don't understand how to let the sadness out. And so now it's just built up inside you and turned into rage."

"SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU!" Ushio yelled punching Yami in the face again.

Yami stumbled backwards and fell on his butt. "YAMI!" Mai yelled as the house members came running forward.

Yami put his hand up to make them all stop. "Ushio it's okay." Yami said standing back up. "Let me help you Ushio. Just talk to me, I'll listen."

"I don't want to talk to you!" Ushio spat and punched Yami in the stomach.

"YAMI FIGHT BACK!" Joey yelled.

"N-No" Yami groaned as he stood back up. "I-I won't fight you Ushio. I just... want... to help you. Listen to me damn it! I know I'm not as great as these people put me out to be! I'm nothing more than a hypocrite!" Yami cried falling to his knees. "I sit here and tell everyone not to give up, to face up to their fears, and be brave. But even I can't do that..." Yami trailed off as he got back on his feet. "I've been looked down upon my whole life! And I'm sick of it! You know why I was looked down on Ushio?! Because my parents think I'm a spawn of a demon! Because my crimson red eyes and tri-colored hair aren't normal! That's why!" Yami's features softened as he stared at Ushio. "It's okay to cry Ushio. Crying doesn't make you a coward. Crying makes you stronger. It's not showing weakness, it's showing strength. Ushio, crying is exactly what you need. And it's about time that you cried."

"Shut up! Just shut up!" Ushio said as he fell to his knees. Ushio began sobbing as he fell to his hands and knees.

Yami walked forward, and bent to his knees in front of Ushio. He placed a hand on Ushio's shoulder "Ushio. It's alright" he said smiling. Yami sat there with Ushio while he cried, comforting him the whole time. "Are you okay now?" Yami asked quietly.

"Yeah, but what is everyone going to think of me now?" Ushio asked quietly.

"Ushio, no one thinks any less of you. Everyone has always been afraid of you, because of the way that you were." Yami stood up bringing Ushio up with him. "Now we can begin to make amends. Life is to short to bully and hate other people Ushio. Everyone here knows that we should be able to count on each other, not cower behind each other."

Everyone caught on to what Yami was saying and began moving in around Ushio. "We don't think any less of you Ushio" one of the girls said.

"We think you're great Ushio" a boy said.

Everyone was complementing Ushio as Yami turned on his heel. "My work here is done" he said quietly walking towards his group of friends.

"Hey Sennen!" Ushio yelled. Yami turned his head and looked out of the corner of his eye over his shoulder. "I was wrong about you."

Yami smiled "No you weren't Ushio." He ran his thumb across his nose "But there's no skin off my nose" Yami turned away and walked towards his friends once again.

"Thank you Sennen" Ushio said.

Yami gave Ushio a thumbs up before wrapping his arm around Yugi's shoulders. Yugi wrapped his arm around Yami's hips and the group of friends walked out of the school and back home.

Yami sat on the couch being doctored up by Mai, Serenity, and his favorite nurse, Yugi. Yami's right eye was bruised, the bridge of his nose was busted open, his bottom lip was busted open, and his left cheek was bruised and swollen. "Wow Yami, he got ya good this time hun" Mai said.

"Yeah, but I finally got through to him" Yami said.

Yugi kissed Yami on the right cheek "Mmmuah! And I am so proud of you for not fighting back."

Yami chuckled "Thank you." Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck, putting his face to the right of Yami's, and Yami snuggled into him. "Y-Yugi?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I... Can I talk to you? Alone!" Yami clearified when everyone leaned in closer.

"Uh, sure" Yugi said cheerfully. He grabbed Yami's hand and the two of them walked up to Yami's room. "What'd you want to talk about?"

"S-Sit on the bed" Yami said leaning against the closed door.

Yugi sat on the bed and held his arms out to Yami. "C'mere, I don't wanna sit by myself."

Yami sighed "Y-Yugi... I-I have a question..." He was leaning his back against the door, his arms behind his back and he was facing the floor.

"Y-Yami? Are you okay?" Yugi stood from the bed and walked towards Yami.

"I... I feel like I'm letting you down..." Yami said sadly, still looking at the floor.

Yugi's face softened "What are you talking about?"

"I... I can't even... I don't..." Yami sighed in frustration.

Yugi walked over to Yami and lifted his head, Yugi's eyes widened a little when he saw tears running down Yami's face. "Yami? What's wrong?"

"Yugi, I... I..." Yami couldn't do it. He couldn't tell Yugi what was bothering him, what was on his mind.

Yugi put his hands on either side of Yami's face gently "C'mere" Yugi said softly, he ran his hands down Yami's face to his shoulders, and down to his hands. Yugi pulled Yami to the bed by his hands. He sat Yami down on the bed and sat down behind him, rubbing his shoulders. Yami relaxed against Yugi, making Yugi wrap his arms loosely around Yami's neck. "Now, what were you wanting to talk about?" Yugi whispered in Yami's ear before nibbling on it.

Yami chuckled and leaned his head back, turning it so he could kiss Yugi on the lips. He nipped at Yugi's bottom lip as he turned to face him. Yugi opened his mouth and pressed into Yami, deepening the kiss as their tongues started a dance. Yugi broke the kiss and started unbuttoning Yami's shirt. Once he got all the buttons unbuttoned, he ran his hands up Yami's muscular stomach, his muscle toned chest, up his shoulders, and down his arms, taking off his shirt. Yugi unbuckled the choker around Yami's neck, and started kissing his neck.

Yami pulled Yugi's shirt over his head and tossed it to the floor. "Yugi. I really have to tell you something. Or ask you something... I dunno."

Yugi giggled, but stopped kissing Yami's neck "What is it Yami?"

Yami searched Yugi's eyes for any emotion, all he found was love, kindness, and a hint of lust. "Yugi... A-Are you mad that I haven't said the L word yet?"

Yugi smiled "Yami? Is that what you're worried about?"

"Y-Yeah..."

Yugi cupped Yami's face gently "Yami, I don't care. I know that your love has been misused and mistreated in the past. You take your time. I'll be right here waiting for you."

Yami smiled and tackled Yugi back to the bed. "AH! Yami!" Yugi giggled.

Yami chuckled, he laid on top of Yugi, his forearms were pulled up on either side of Yugi so he could sit up and look at him. "Yugi?" Yami said quietly, looking Yugi in the eyes.

"Yeah?" Yugi whispered back.

"What's it feel like?" Yami asked.

"What does what feel like Yami?" Yugi asked raising a brow.

"Love. What's it feel like?"

"Well..." Yugi thought for a minute trying to push back the part of his brain that felt sorry for Yami so he could think. He'd never known love, not real love anyway. "It's warm, and makes everything the best thing ever. Um... You just know that that's what it is. Your heart feels on fire, and you feel like if you were anymore in love, you'd explode into human confettii." Yugi noticed how Yami's eyes seemed to glitter with curiosity, it made him smile to know Yami was taking every word he said to heart. 'Maybe Yami loves me but just doesn't realize it...' Yugi thought longer, thinking of what else to say. "When love comes, you'll know it. You won't be able to hold your heart in your chest anymore. You'll never want to live without that person that you've fallen in love with. You-" Yami cut Yugi off with a kiss.

Yami grabbed Yugi's hand and put it on his chest, over his heart. Yami's heart was beating so fast, you could feel it beating hard against his chest. "The whole time you were talking, I kept getting these cold-feeling chills. It's like everything you said went right to my heart and pumped through my veins. I feel like there's so many feelings bottled up in me, and I dunno what they are. But, everytime I'm around you I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my throat, and when you kiss me, my brain goes blank and I forget everything I'm doing. I dunno, but I like it. I like the feelings you give me. The goosebumps you send up my spine, and how my hair stands on ends when you kiss my neck. I... I love it..." Yami kissed Yugi, a quick, rough kiss on the lips. He pulled away panting, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yugi... I... I love you..." Yami smiled "I love you Yugi."

Yugi smiled and giggled quietly "I love you too Yami." Yugi pulled Yami down to kiss him on the lips. The kiss deepened, and once again they were in a war of tongues. Yugi moaned into the kiss as Yami ran his hand down Yugi's side. Yugi put his hands around Yami's neck. They broke the kiss when the need for air arose. Yami wasn't ready to stop yet though. Yami kissed down Yugi's face, licking his earlobe as he kissed down to his neck.

Yami continued kissing down Yugi's neck, to his chest, he stopped to tease Yugi's nipples as he worked his way down. Yugi let out a yelp of surprise when Yami latched on to his right nipple. Once Yami was satisfied with the right one he moved to the left one. Yugi let out a loud moan when Yami ran his hand down Yugi's stomach to rub his clothed erection.

"Y-Yami" Yugi moaned.

Yami smirked around Yugi's left nipple. Yami kissed up to Yugi's cheek, he backed away and smirked at the flushed look on Yugi's face. "You look hot... Need some water? Maybe some air?"

"Shut the fuck up and come here" Yugi said yanking Yami down into a rough kiss. Yugi moaned into the kiss, his manhood becoming painfully hard in the hands of Yami.

Once the kiss was broken Yami undid the belt on Yugi's pants and took them off, throwing them to the floor, along with his shoes. Yami looked down and smirked "I like the boxers" he said with a wink.

Yugi giggled "Wore them just for you" he purred. He sat up and crawled towards Yami "This isn't over Mr. Sennen..."

Yami's eyes widened and he raised his left eyebrow. "My turn" Yugi growled as he leaped at Yami.

"Ah!" Yami yelped as the two of them stumbled and hit the floor.

"Sounds like that 'talk' is going well" Marik said using air quotes on the word 'talk.'

The rest of the house members started laughing.
