Chapter 38
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
Yami and Atemu had been resting in bed for a few days now and they were fit enough to move around without help but weren't allowed to do anything strenuous. Yugi was looking better but he still had yet to wake. He had lost more blood than Yami and Atemu.
Atemu and Yami had hardly left the den Yugi was in once they were allowed to move around. Both wanted to stay with Yugi till he woke up. Their injuries were healing but slowly, their stitches were still in and Ryou wasn't going to remove them till he felt they weren't necessary.
Yami was lying beside Atemu on their mattress in the den. Both were just trying to relax. Yami was laying facing Yugi who had not moved at all since he was laid on the bed. He was really upset that Yugi wasn't waking up and was starting to get worried because his body already needed food and if he didn't wake up then he would soon starve to death.
"Atemu?"
"Yes?"
"When do you think he'll wake up?"
"I don't know Yami. I really don't."
Yami turned around in Atemu's arms and buried his face in his chest. Atemu ran his hand through Yami's hair as he held him close.
"I don't want to lose him."
"I know. I don't either." Atemu looked at Yugi and hugged Yami tighter. "We just have to hope he pulls through."
"I wish that wolf was alive still."
"Why?"
"So I could slowly kill him for what he's done."
"I know, I know. I feel the same."
Ryou came in and checked them over along with Yugi before turning and leaving. He didn't bother telling them anything unless there was a change in his condition. Atemu gave Yami a squeeze before looking back at Yugi. He saw a twitch of his face. He sat up on his elbows to get a closer look. Yami looked at Atemu to see a frown on his face and looking towards the bed.
Atemu saw Yugi's head twitch and quickly climbed out of bed and moved over to Yugi's and knelt beside it. Yugi's face was scrunched up in fear or pain he couldn't tell. Yami knelt beside Atemu and both jumped when Yugi screamed and started thrashing around on the bed.
"Yami go get Ryou. Quickly!"
Atemu quickly held Yugi down so he didn't open his injuries. Yami ran out of the den and into Akefia's, Bakura's and Ryou's pups den. All three looked up and Ryou had an annoyed look on his face.
"Yami what did I tell you about strenuous activity. Running is one."
"Yugi's screaming. He won't wake."
Ryou quickly headed out of the chamber leaving Akefia, Bakura and Yami behind with the pups. Yami looked at them before quickly following after Ryou. Ryou entered the chamber to find Atemu holding Yugi down gently and whispering to him to calm him down. Ryou hurried over and checked Yugi's injuries but was knocked away when Yugi got his hand free, sensing someone else there. Atemu quickly grabbed his hand and held it to his other hand and gently stroked his face.
"Yugi shh, no one's going to hurt you. It's just friends."
Yugi calmed and remained asleep and Ryou approached again and gently touched Yugi's arm and when he didn't move he resumed checking his injuries. As Ryou finished he notice Atemu sitting on the side of the bed.
"Atemu I'm going to have to ask you to be careful if you sit on the bed with Yugi. We still have to be careful of his injuries but none have seemed to open in his nightmare."
"It would be best if we stay close. If he has a nightmare he seems to calm down with us close."
"Yes I wonder why." Marik said from the doorway.
Yami and Atemu blushed lightly. "What are you talking about?"
"Well it pretty obvious. You both are in love with Yugi and he's head over tails in love with you both." Malik said standing next to Marik.
Yami and Atemu blushed and looked down at the boy on the bed who at the moment was sleeping peacefully. Ryou stood and up shooed Marik and Malik out before looking back at them.
"You both lay with him if he starts thrashing around again but don't let any of his wounds open again."
Ryou left and Yami and Atemu both looked back down at Yugi. Atemu stood up slowly waiting for any indication that Yugi would start thrashing around. He walked over to Yami and gently led him out of the room.
"Atemu what are you doing?"
"We both need to stretch our legs for a moment. We won't be gone long. We need to stretch and get a drink."
Yami sighed and followed Atemu out of the chamber and into the sunlight to walk a lap in front of the den before going back in. When they entered Atemu with Yami following went to where they stored the water and grabbed a drink before heading back to the den.
When they entered they found Yugi's face scrunched up in fear before he started to thrash around on the bed. Atemu hurried over and sat beside Yugi on the bed and tried to calm him down. Yugi thrashed under the blankets and crying in fear and pain. Atemu looked at Yami who looked extremely alarmed before he pinned Yugi's hands to the bed and gently with one hand stroked his face like he did the first time. Yugi tried moving his head away as he continued to cry and thrash on the bed.
"Yugi calm down, please you're safe. No one is trying to hurt you." Atemu said.
Yami slowly made his way over and sat on the other side and ran his hand through Yugi's hair as Atemu continued to stroke his face. Yami looked down and wrapped his hand around one of Yugi's and gave it a gentle squeeze and Atemu released Yugi's hand and held the other while they calmed him down.
After about five minutes Yugi calmed down and was resting peacefully on the bed. Yami sighed and lay down beside him as he still ran his hands through Yugi's hair. Atemu repositioned himself on the bed and lay down beside Yugi as well and eventually both of them fell asleep with Yugi between them.
