Rainy Day Weekend: Sunshine

Please tell me I didn't just say that to him. Please tell me I didn't say 'I love you', I promised myself never to tell him!

I felt Yugi stiffen in my arms. This only caused me to tighten my grip around him; if he ran out on me in this state I knew I would not be responsible for my actions.

If he rejects me I blame the cold medicine.

I slowly look down to meet his gaze and see his reaction; I watched a smile slowly spread across his face.

"What took you so long? Do you know how long I've waited to hear that from you? I thought you would take forever and day."

"So-so you love me back? Just for me, not for what I can do for you?" I asked my hopes rising up a notch.

"Yes and no"

With those three words I felt my hope go crashing right through the floor. I averted my eyes from him and stared at the ground.

"What I mean is that I originally fell in love with my ideal of you, Yami, I had this image of you in my head as this great, confident, proud guy who could do no wrong and I was scared to tell you my feelings because I figured that being so perfect you wouldn't want someone like me. So I figured that if I worked hard to be just as perfect as I thought you were, I could have a change at winning your love. Then you got sick and I was forced to rethink me whole view on you and ask myself if truly did love you for you or just the image I thought you to be. And you know what I decided?"

"What?" I asked dismally still staring a hole in the floor. Like I don't already know what it is, I should have known better then to think he would actually love me for who I am.

He wrapped his arms around my neck and forced me to meet his stare. "I decided that I like this better."

I was shocked. "W-wa-wait a minute you like having me be ornery, whiney and an all round grouch rather then that larger then life image?"

"Yeah it's nice to know that you aren't perfect every single minute of every single day and that I can help you, make you feel as special as you make me feel, I love you."

He leaned up and captured his lips on my own, his kiss was gentle but not without underlining passion. I couldn't help but melt into his embrace, immersing myself in his taste, strawberry, and vanilla like one of those soft chewable cream candies.

(Yugi)

The kiss was everything I dreamed it would be and more. He kissed me back with equal force, the strong smell of the vaporizer hung heavy in the air and Yami tasted strongly of medicine and chicken soup, still I did come across the exotic and hot flavor of spice. I gently pushed him down onto the couch so I lay onto of him, holding the kiss until I pulled up my body screaming for air. Stupid lungs and their need for oxygen.

"HACHOO!"

"Gesundheit"

"I'm sorry I'm totally ruining the mood, aren't I?"

"No you're not, Yami, really you're not, like I said I find it enjoyable that you aren't perfect, I mean can you imagine how boring life would be if stuff like this never happened."

"Pretty boring, but still this isn't really how I wanted to present my love to you, I mean I must look very unattractive right now."

"Not really, I think you look very cute when you're sick."

"Of all the words there are to describe me, Yugi, cute is not one of them."

"Well I am inclined to disagree" I said pushing his bangs away from his face. "You have this pouting look and you act so needy when you're sick." I giggled running my finger softly down his nose careful to avoid the area which was now raw. Before leaning down to kiss him again, but I found myself being pushed back by him.

"Yami, did I do something wrong?"

He shook his head no. "HA-HACHOO! HACHOO! HACHOO!"

"All right you back to bed."

"But I don't want to I told you that already," he complained.

"Did I mention that I'm coming with you?"

The way Yami's face seemed to light up one would think I just told him he won the lottery.

We got back upstairs I closed the door and locked it.

Smirking I said "Now where were we?"

--- (Yami)

I woke up feeling slightly better, emphasis on the word slight. My body no longer ached and it didn't hurt to breathe, but I knew my body still had a lot of fighting to do, my nose was still very tender, the sinus pressure was still pounding in my head and I knew it would a couple more days before I felt totally well again.

I lay there my eyes still closed hoping to be able to sleep the entire day away because I was afraid that if I opened my eyes I would discover that yesterday had just been some wonderful and glorious dream. Still I slowly opened my eyes, looking down to find Yugi curled up under the covers using my chest as a pillow. I felt so elated to see that yesterday had all really happened.

:Good morning, Yugi:

:What's good about it?:

:Oh, don't tell you forgot yesterday already?:

:Yeah that definitely counts as a plus, however there are some downsides.:

:Oh, right its Monday you have to go to school.:

:That isn't the half of it.:

I wondered what else Yugi thought was negative about today and I was immediately rewarded with an answer.

"AHCHOO!"

"Bless you, Yugi."

He looked up at me and grinned, sheepishly, his cheeks and the bridge of his nose tinged slightly pink. His eyes now containing the same glassy look as I knew mine did, I pushed the tissues towards him.

"Thanks, Yami"

"No problem, Yugi, so now that you've gone and caught my cold what does this mean?"

"Three day weekend." He answered cuddling up to me so our noses touched.

I smiled slyly "You don't think you should go to school even through you're sick?"

"No, my illness would only serve to distract my fellow classmates from their goal of learning. I would be unable to learn and furthermore I would probably use up the school's entire supply of tissues and they can't afford to buy anymore."

That explanation was enough to send me into a fit of laughter. "That's my, Yugi, always looking out for the well being of others."

"Of course"

I kissed his nose, watching him shrink back a little from the stimulation, his eyes still holding a glow of love for me even with the sickness trying to crowd it out.

"Well" I said "at least I no longer have to worry about getting too close to you for fear of giving you my cold-HACHOO!"

"Gesundheit-AHCHOO!"

"Bless you"

"Thank you"

"Hey no thanking me, Yugi, you told me I couldn't thank you and I think the rule should go both ways."

"Okay"

I gently kissed his lips and moved my hands down his back. He moved closer to me and nuzzled, as the sun shone through the window breaking up the dark clouds and letting the tiny patches of blue sky through.
