Ladies and Gentlemen, Buoys and Gulls, anyone that's been bothering to read - I present to you the final chapter of 'Hope is an Empty Eggshell'!
Yugi: Too bad this didn't go higher than single-digit chapters.
Oh, it might yet! Depends on some things...
Yami: Wonderful. Anything else you want to make me suffer with here?
==LIME ALERT!==LIME ALERT!==LIME ALERT!==
Yugi & Yami: O_O
There's a teensy bit of lime, right at the end here! (^_^) Kinda hints towards more...
Yami: ...
You don't MIND, do you?
Yugi: Uh...
Yami: Do I act embarassing?
That's for me to know and for you to read on and find out!
Yugi: ...Can I make limeade?
Yami: O_O
*sigh*

(It's not much, just a k*i*s*s at most - well, a couple of 'em - but if you don't like something like that feel free to not read. I respect your personal beliefs!)

Chapter Nine - Why do birds suddenly appear?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I felt oddly edgy as I walked about my Soul Room that night. Perusing through my
memories didn't seem very appealing; nor did fiddling with my/our deck or anything else for
that matter. I sat down on the bench and finally accepted it. I. Was. Bored. Bored,
bored, bored! I hadn't been this bored since…well, since ever as far as I could recall.
There was just nothing in here to hold my interest. Yugi and Grandpa were having dinner
together before he left on another one of his trips. I blinked. Did I just…I _had_. Aibou
was a bigger influence on me than I had thought. Sure, technically I was allowed to
consider him as my Grandfather, but just up and calling him Grandpa was completely unlike
me. As I considered the implications of this little discovery, a voice intruded on my
thoughts. /Hey, Yami?/ //Huh? Oh, yes Aibou?// /Did I just interrupt you in something?
Sorry…/ //Actually, I was just thinking about you,// I sent back with a smirk. /Oh.
Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to say goodbye to Grandpa before he left./ Did I?
Well, beggars can't be choosers, and I _was_ still bored. //Sure, why not?// And with that I
appeared next to him. Grandpa raised an eyebrow. "I didn't think my leaving was _that_
important," he joked. I briefly smirked, then Yugi said something about getting ready for
bed and left. "You know, I think he's found out about the little conversation we had, way
back when," Grandpa said without further preamble. "It wouldn't surprise me - Aibou is very
resourceful," I said. "Oh well. See the two of you in three days then!" He grabbed his
things and left. Since I was there, I locked up the house before going upstairs in search
of Yugi. He was sitting on the bed of his room, clearly waiting for me. "Did Grandpa
leave?" "Yes, a few minutes ago." There was something different about his expression, I
realized. "Yami, I think we need to talk." It seemed like an odd thing to say, but I
shrugged and sat next to him. //Well then, what's on your mind?// He seemed really unsure
of himself for some reason. /Well…the truth is…it's about you./ //Me?// The faintest
remains of some of my old fears crept up a little. I mentally shoved them back down where
they belonged and waited for Aibou to elaborate. /About you and me./ He clarified. /Us./
//Well, what about us?// This was getting to be a pretty strange conversation. He turned
to stare right into my eyes. The bright purple orbs were shining with a strange inner
light. "Yami, I love you." That simple little sentence left me completely speechless.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I wasn't sure what to expect when I finally managed to say it. Half of me expected
him to walk away, half thought he was going to get angry. The last thing I thought was
going to happen was for him to suddenly burst out laughing. He laughed so hard he fell
over. It left me feeling a bit miffed. "Yami, what's so funny?" He wiped away tears of
mirth before answering. //It's just - I can't believe you just said that.// I got a really
weird idea. /Want me to prove it?/ Before he could quite grasp that, I leaned right over
and kissed him. I kissed him hard and long before I sat back up. His eyes were wide.
/Convinced you yet?/ I said with a mental laugh. He smiled and I went back in for another
one. He responded and it felt great. As soon as he was fully enjoying himself, I
maneuvered my lips and my tongue pushed against his mouth. Yami didn't hesitate to deepen
the kiss, both our tongues grappling. As this went on, I didn't miss Yami's hands beginning
to move on my back. With a little extra pressure on my part, I was lying on top of him. We
broke the kiss then. "Well, I'm glad we could have this talk," I said, and he laughed
again. That laugh had to be the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. It sent little
shivers up and down my spine. He started to move, then hesitated. I could tell what he was
thinking. //Aibou, I -// I interrupted what he had been about to say by kissing him again.
I caught him a bit off guard, especially when I shifted my legs around. He made a sound of
surprise and I pulled back to see his eyes. In them, confusion warred with an
ever-increasing need. He wanted this, I knew he had always wanted for us to be together
like this, but he didn't want to go too far if I didn't want to. He shouldn't have worried
- I wanted to.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I had been startled when he had kissed me. It had been better than I had ever
imagined, and the feelings that had surged as he moved on top of me left me gasping. He
looked me in the eyes and I knew he had realized my personal dilemma. He smiled. "It's
okay, Yami. I want this as much as you do." I felt a smirk cross my lips before I caught
him in a kiss of my own. After that, it was merely a matter of love.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hah! What'dya think of THEM apples?
Yami: O_O
Yugi: O_O
Yami Bakura: 'Pharaoh and the brat, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!'
Yami: Shut up!
Yami Bakura: Make me!
Yugi: Look, cookies!
Yami Bakura: WHERE! WHERE!

The nice thing about reviews - they give you such nice tips! (tip provided courtesy of 'Basic Rules of Magic' reviews)
Yami: Yes, well...
Okay, I still need more evil things to do to for the sequel! C'mon, I need dark and angsty things! Pretty please? *turns into chibi* Pwease?
Yugi: *sighs* Or you could just review, of course.
*turns back into adult* But DO NOT ask for a lemon! I can't write lemons! Not even if my life depended on it!
Yami: THANK you. *sips his limeade* Hey, this isn't too bad...
Yugi & Me: -_-;;
Yugi: Too bad this didn't go higher than single-digit chapters.
