Shōnen-Ai High School
Chapter 28
After they had both talked with Sugoroku and Jounouchi about their schedules at school and how they were living there for the time being, Yugi and Yami had gone out to take a walk through the city they called "home."
It was, after all, a calm Saturday afternoon and the day was still young before turning into the night, so, two lovebirds decided to go around the city to enjoy it!
"What do you say about going out on a date?" asked Yugi, holding onto Yami's arm.
"I'd say I'd be more than pleased to take you out," he responded, wrapping his free arm around Yugi's waist, lifting him up and turning them both around, almost as if following a silent rhythm. The boy giggled innocently, holding to his lover like he was afraid he would fall if he didn't.
"Yami, put me down!" laughed Yugi as the crimson-eyed hummed a song. "Yami, please, c'mon, put me down!" But Yami did not surrender to his little one; he knew, one way or the other, that Yugi didn't really mind when he carried him like that.
After spinning around enough, Yami slowly came to a stop, long enough for Yugi to tell him "I love you" before sealing their lips in a kiss.
It was just a touch, a simple caressing, a small kiss that meant more than what either of them could ever express with words.
When they pulled apart, Yami finally put his little one down and they kept on walking through the city's streets, holding each other's hands.
"Where do you wanna go?" asked the crimson-eyed.
"What if we go to the arcade?" He smiled at his smaller look-a-like.
"To the arcade, then!"
-
For some strange reason, the arcade's door had a sign that said "CLOSED". Yugi was about to leave, woeful, but then his lover took his hand and dragged him to the back of the building, where music could be heard and people could be seen dancing around like they didn't know how to do anything else!
"It looks like they're having a party here!" said Yami, pulling Yugi closer.
"Oi, oi, look what have we here! Two beautiful lovebirds want to spend a good time together with everybody, ne!" said a man that was probably about to get drunk, but he was right. There were fires located in trashcans around the whole alley, so that it looked as if they were dancing through the flames.
"C'mon, you lovers, come and join the fiesta!" added another guy, that sounded Spanish, who was just as drunk as his companion; they were holding each other, using the other one as support. "We're having a great time, you seriously don't wanna ruin it, do you, enamorados?"
Yugi stared at Yami, not knowing what the drunken Spanish man had said.
"Don't listen to him, he's crazy!" said his companion.
"Oh, you're crazy too, mi amigo!"
"Just ignore them," interrupted a little girl drinking a can of soda. She looked around the age of 12, but what was she doing at a party like this? "They always get like this, especially my brother, the Spanish guy." She had dark blue hair that reached down to her shoulders, and in someway, it reminded them both too much of a certain girl…
"Do you mind if we join?" asked Yami, wrapping his arm around Yugi's shoulders.
"No, no problem! Join us, enamorados, feel the happy aura! Zanira, put on the music, these two lovebirds need to get el ritmo del amor!" said again the Spanish man leaning against his companion. The girl, Zanira, went to the stereo and put on a song that began to fill the air with the sound of the electric guitar.
Yami seemed to recognize the song; he bowed and offered his hand to his lover.
"Yugi, may I have this dance?" Yugi blushed and smiled shyly, taking Yami's hand.
"Of course you may," he answered, and allowed his boyfriend to drag him to the dance floor.
As the song began, both lovers started dancing as if their souls were connected, just following the rhythm that lifted them to move among everybody.
Like a gift from the heavens it was easy to tell
She was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
Yami took Yugi's waist and started swirling around, as if the music had pulled the devil out of him, just like the song chanted. Yugi held Yami's hand, kissing him whenever the chance got around.
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
And we danced on into the night
"Oh, mi Dios! These two are burning the floor!" called Zanira, clapping as everybody else to support the two souls that were dancing their hearts out. Her brother was whistling and clapping wildly.
"You go, enamorados!" he called, laughing.
Neither Yami nor Yugi heard what they were yelling at them; the only thing they could heart was the song's rhythm guiding them and their hearts beating in synchrony with each other's.
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place
You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces
We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes
The room left them moving between you and I
Yami felt as if though he was again standing on the scenario at the party after the school's play. He could feel everyone cheering him, telling him to go on, like they were only silent voices saying "give it your best shot!"
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time And we sang ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
Two souls, two hearts, two bodies melting into one complete being; that's what both Yugi and Yami thought as their crowd cheered them.
Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell
It was love from above that could save me from hell
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me
Almost done; they were almost done yet it looked like their moment of glory could last more than an eternity. Then there were the silent voices again: "You can do it, keep going!" Of course they would keep going! Even if the arcade burst in flames, they would keep going!
There were drums in the air as she started to dance
Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands
And we sang ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And the voices bang like the angels sing
We're singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
And we dance on into the night
Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
Ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
Singing ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay
And we danced on into the night
Finally, there was silence—a silence where the only noise was the beats of their hearts, synchronizing to each other's rhythm, moving faster or slower if it was necessary. Then the silence was slowly broken by the voices of the crowd, astonished at the pair that had almost burnt the floor.
"That's el ritmo del amor, my lovebirds!" yelled the drunken Spanish man, standing next to his sister.
"You two know just how to dance, mis amigos!" cried out Zanira, clapping childishly.
Yami and Yugi stayed face to face, holding each other, as if nothing could pull them apart.
"So, how was that for a first date?" asked the crimson-eyed between heavy pants.
"I'd say…" began Yugi, in the same conditions. "I'd say we should go out on a second one."
And so they kept on dancing until the afternoon became the night, the fire surrounding them being the only light to guide their paths throughout the darkness.
(A/N: First of all, some of the Spanish traductions:
Fiesta - party
Enamorados - like lovers, "lover boy"
Mi amigo(s) - My friend(s)
El ritmo del amor - love's rhythm, the rhythm of love
Mi Dios - my God
