Me: Okay, sorry about the short chapters you guys. I'm stressed out, I'm about to tear my hair out, I'm barely getting any sleep at all, and I'm just over it to be quite honest. I apologize ahead of time if I don't update on time, I'm just dealing with some real life stress and not handling it very well... :/ Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

Yami: O.O' Leaving now *runs away*
Me: Anyway, I do not own YGO or anything pertaining to YGO.

Chapter 28
Sleep
Yuugi yawned, stretching as she sat up on Yami's bed. She rolled over and looked at the alarm clock. Once again it was four in the morning and Yami wasn't in bed. She flipped the covers off and stood, slipping on her slippers before continuing out of the room. She stopped at Akari's bedroom, peeking her head in and smiling when she saw the two children curled up and fast asleep. Akari must've had a bad dream at some point because Yuki's blankets lay on the floor while he held onto her.
Yuugi quietly pulled the door so it was open just a crack. She turned back to the left, walking forward a couple feet to the door of Yami's study. She quietly peeked it open, looking around to find Yami.
Yami sat on the other side of his study, his back to Yuugi, his head resting on his left palm which was propped up by his elbow on the desk he was sitting at. His right hand sat motionlessly with a pen in his grasp, hovering over a page that was almost completely colored.
Yuugi approached quietly, looking to see what he was currently working on. She covered her mouth to hold back the giggles and 'aww' that threatened to escape. Yami was propped up just enough for him to sleep peacefully at his desk. He'd fallen asleep while in the middle of his work, his pen no longer moving to write the words that needed to be written.
The shorter woman gently placed her hands on Yami's broad shoulders, leaning over him to kiss his cheek. "Yami" she whispered. Yami's eyes blinked but didn't open, letting Yuugi know he was listening. "C'mon honey, come to bed."
"Hmm?" Yami hummed, lifting his head a little bit.
"C'mon, you fell asleep at your desk again."
"I did?"
Yuugi giggled quietly at Yami's cluelessness. "Yes, you did. Now c'mon, you're going to get a kink in your neck."
"I think its a little late for that" Yami grumbled, rubbing his hand across the back of his neck.
"I've been telling you all week not to fall asleep at your desk. You never listen."
"I know" he grunted, pushing himself up and almost falling over.
"Careful" Yuugi warned him, holding him up while he steadied himself.
"Sorry" he whispered, wrapping his left arm around Yuugi's shoulders.
"Let's just get you to bed. Okay?"
"Sounds good."
The two stumbled quietly to Yami's room, careful not to wake the kids up on their way there. Yami sighed as he laid down, not even caring that he wasn't covered up. Yuugi lay beside him, rolling over and cuddling up to him "Shhh" he shushed her, causing her to giggle once again.
"You're very silly when you're tired" she whispered.
Yami put his finger on her lips with a smile "And you are very pretty any time of the day."
Yuugi raised a brow at him "That... I'm not even going to question it" she chuckled, giving up on trying to understand anything the tired man was trying to say.
"I love you" Yami whispered, moving his finger from her lips and running his hand across her face.
"I love you too" Yuugi whispered, meeting him halfway for a kiss. "Goodnight Yami" she deadpanned when he grabbed her butt.
Yami grinned shamelessly with a chuckle "Goodnight Yuugi."
The two cuddled together, falling asleep wrapped in the warmth of each other's embrace.
The scratching sounds of pencils across paper were heard throughout Yami's study as the man got back to work. His picture was finally almost finished. He couldn't have cut it any closer though. He had three more days before both of his books were due. The first one was finished and had been finished for a week now. The one he was currently working on was halfway done when he'd started on it and he was now working on the final picture of it.
"How's it coming dear?" Yuugi practically sang on her way into the study.
"Almost done" Yami sighed.
Yuugi peeked over his shoulder, watching as he colored the picture, bringing Izabelle and her friends to life in a forest. "She is just so darn cute."
Yami chuckled at her words, she always said the same thing about the little chibi characters. He scratched in the last few words to the book, placing the final page on the stack once it was finished. He sat himself back in his chair, Yuugi leaning over him, pressing her nose to his forehead to look in his eyes. "Done now?"
"Yeah" he responded softly.
"Good" she said with a smile, leaning up and kissing him with an upside down kiss.
"What was that for?" Yami chuckled.
"Because you're my boyfriend and I wanted to" she shrugged, turning and walking out of the room.
Yami shook his head, turning back towards his desk and clipping the book together. He stood from his desk, walking out of the room and into the kitchen where Yuugi stood, clipping the dead leaves from a plant in the window. He walked up behind her and watched her touch the delicate leaves, her hands barely touching them, yet glazing across them. He smiled watching her carefully trim the small plant.
"Were you wanting to do something today?"
"Not really. I don't feel much like going out today" she sighed.
"Well there's a first."
"I know. It's so unlike me."
"Sounds like someone could use a day to relax" he whispered, his breath ghosting over her ear.
Yuugi looked over her shoulder, a smile kissing her lips when their eyes met. "I just feel really tired. I kept waking up all those nights to come get you off your desk, and I guess it just wore me out."
"C'mon" Yami coaxed, turning her around and pulling her forward.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going to lay down. You could use a nap and I'm gonna wait for the kids to get out of school."
Yuugi sighed, knowing she was too tired to argue with the man. "Fine."
The two of them laid down, Yuugi falling asleep not even a few minutes after her head hit the pillow. Yami ran his hand across her face, gently folding her bangs behind her ear. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before getting up and going out to the recliner to watch TV.
Me: Okay, got it done at 4 am, I've been up all night working on these stories. I just sneezed and bit my damn tongue, so that's bleeding. As if shit wasn't already bad enough... . Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed, until next time everyone *waves* Goodbye!
