Heyhey, this is the epilogue, it's a happy ending, which is why I didn't know if it could still count as angst lol but here you go. Last chapter, I didn't say how Yami dealt with the mugger...I'll leave it up to your imagination. I'm sure you can guess.;-) *cough shadow realm, mind crush cough* And....basically, Yami is NOT DEAD! WOO-HOO! And this may get a little sappy...so sorry about it!

Yami opened his eyes slowly, and blinked a few times. He remember nothing except the frightening, near death experience which had happened just a day ago. The rythmic beeping of the machines surrounding the hospital bed were the only sound in the room. It was filled with a yellowish morning light, of a sun not quite risen. Yami forced his eyes open a little more, and as soon as he realized where he was, jolted fully awake. He was surprised to see Yugi, kneeling on a small red chair, which he had obviously dragged up to the bed. He had his small head cradled in the nook of his arm, which rested just barely on the edge of the hospital bed. The little light was sleeping soundly.
Yami smiled. He had stayed with him? All night? Just yesterday, he wouldn't have believed that Yugi would do such a thing for him. He was so certain...so certain that his light was tired of him. But after the attack...
Suddenly, Yugi stirred. With a short yawn, he stretched and then registered where he was. When he saw Yami's midnight eyes watching him fondly, he blushed.
"I fell asleep."
The Pharaoh laughed.
"It's alright."
"Are _you_ alright?"
"I'm fine."
Then, a look of sadness came over Yugi's face.
"Yesterday I thought you were going to die."
"I didn't though...and you're safe, so everything turned out alright, I suppose."
"Besides the man. He got the bad end of the deal." Yugi smiled sheepishly.
Yami narrowed his eyes, that Yugi could _swear_ had just gotten a shade redder.
"He had no right going after you."
Yugi looked into Yami's now crimson eyes.
"I was afraid he was going to take the puzzle."
"I know."
Yugi didn't even half to ask "how." He knew "how." He had looked through Yami's eyes, and every doubt that he ever had had been extinguished as quickly as water snuffs out a little flame. Yami didn't hate him. And he _did_ want him as a friend. Yugi smiled, a melancholy one, but a smile none the less.
"I was afraid he was going to hurt you." Yami spoke again.
"I know."
