Yami Card-Keeper: Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate it! And to answer you're question Ginny, Bakura didn't want Yami and Yugi to admit their feelings to each other just yet because that would spoil all the fun! ^_^ Sorry if my aibou didn't make that too clear.

Card-Keeper: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh in any way shape or form.

Winter Vacation Chapter 3 - Hikaris' Feelings

After dinner, the group made their way back to their rooms for a good night's sleep. Yami and Yugi were still a little embarrassed from the elevator incident however.

^^^Ryou and Bakura^^^

"Yami!" Ryou whispered. "Why do you have to spy on them more! Get over here!"

"But aibou.it's so much fun to see the pharaoh all nervous in front of his hikari."

"Bakura.can't you for one second forget about Yami and Yugi and think about 'us'?" he said quietly before changing into his pj's and sulking into bed.

'My aibou is right, I've got to pay more attention to him. Oh how could I let this get in the way of him! I'm so stupid!' thought Bakura as he pulled away from his peekhole and got changed. Quietly, he slipped into bed next to Ryou and wrapped his arms around him gently. "Hey aibou.listen.I'm really sorry for not paying attention to you. I want to make it up to you somehow okay? Name anything and I'll do it for you." He whispered to his aibou.

"T-that's okay, Y-yami. I-I know y-you're just having f-fun and I don't want t-to spoil it for y-you." He said quietly.

Hearing his hikari stutter, he turned him around to face him. When he did, he saw Ryou's face tearstained, trying to hide that fact he was crying but that was impossible. "No, it's not okay! Nothing hurts me more than seeing you sad aibou!"

"Yami."

"Aibou please don't be sad anymore! I'm sorry I'm really sorry! Oh, why can't I do anything right!" Bakura said, tears forming in his eyes.

"Yami that's enough please don't talk about yourself like that!"

"But it's true isn't it! Aibou - " Bakura was silenced by Ryou planting a firm but gentle kiss on his lips. When they parted, Ryou spoke up, "Yami, don't ever talk about yourself like that okay? You mean everything to me!" Ryou went silent as he nuzzled his head onto Bakura's neck.

"Thank you aibou. More than you can ever imagine." Ryou giggled softly and kissed his yami a few times before falling asleep. Bakura couldn't help but smile at the bundle in his arms. He kissed his forehead softly and lay there thinking about him before he too fell asleep.

^^^Yami and Yugi^^^

Yami went into the bathroom to change in his pj's quickly before going to bed. Once he go out of the bathroom however, he realized that the room only had one bed.

"Err.Yugi!" he said, feeling the heat rising to his cheeks.

"Yes what is it Yami?" replied the smaller one.

"Err.um.we have a problem. There is only one bed."

"Oh." Yugi said blushing as the realization hit him.

Yugi's POV:

I could tell that I was blushing even though I tried hard to hide it, and I could tell that Yami was doing the exact same thing also. I wouldn't mind of course sharing the same bed, but then again Yami might. I decided to offer him the bed.

"How about you take the bed Yami? I can sleep on the floor it won't bother me." I explained.

"Nono Aibou I don't want to make you do that!" he said in return. Yami's so sweet, but I would rather sleep on the floor than have him do so; actually, I would rather have neither of us sleep on the floor, but I'm way to nervous to ask that. I mean, how would it sound if I said, hey Yami how about we both share the bed!

"Say aibou." he said, interrupting my train of thought, "whydon'twesharethebedsoneitherofushastosleeponthefloor!" he blurted out so quickly I could hardly understand him. Did he just suggest sharing the bed? I must be dreaming! If this is a dream I never want to wake up! But did I hear him correctly?

"What did you say Yami? You spoke too fast."

"Umm.we can always share the bed so neither of us has to sleep on the floor. How about it?"

Yes I knew he said that! I smiled inward and tried to hide the new blush forming. "...sure Yami."

"That's alright, sorry I asked..what? Y-you will!? I-I mean.erm." Yami stuttered. I laughed inwardly at his loss of words.

"Well, now that that's settled, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow Yami!" I said as I went into the bathroom to change.

"Uhh.right tomorrow. Goodnight aibou."

Once out of the bathroom, I made my way over to the bed where Yami was sleeping peacefully. 'He looks so adorable sleeping there, he's just like a baby when he sleeps.' I thought as I went in beside him. I moved a little bit closer to him so now our faces were only millimeters apart. 'What am I doing!?' I thought to myself. 'What if he wakes up!? Don't want to think about that!' Without letting another thought ruin it for me, I closed the space between us with a quick peck on his lips. It seemed like it ended as soon as it started to me. I quickly moved a bit back, but not too far away, after all this might be my only night to be with Yami. Who knows if we'll only get two rooms again once we reach Snowy Hotel? Many thoughts raced through my head as I lay there. Eventually, I gave in to my tiredness and slept peacefully until morning.

:End Yugi's POV

^^^Next Morning: Yami and Yugi^^^

Yami woke up first the next morning. A blush rose to his cheeks when he noticed Yugi's closeness to him. Without thinking, he moved his hand up to his aibou's face and gently caressed his skin. Yugi began muttering a few words barely audible, but Yami managed to pick up on a few.

".don't leave.please." he murmured while grabbing onto Yami's shirt. Yami immediately froze. 'Aibou must be having a dream. But by the way he's talking, it seems kind of like a nightmare. Maybe I should wake him.'

"Aibou, aibou wake up." He whispered into Yugi's ear. After a few tries, Yugi's eyes shot open and filled with tears. He buried his head into Yami's chest. 'I'm in heaven.' Yami thought, but quickly dimished those thoughts; his aibou needed him, now wasn't the time to be thinking about his own thoughts. Yami wrapped his arms around him, whispering soothing words into his ear. After a few minutes, his crying died down to a few sniffs here and there.

"Are you alright aibou?" asked Yami.

"Yes, I am now Yami, thank you. Don't worry, I only had a bad dream. I'll be fine now."

"Are you sure? Do you wish to talk about your dream? Sometimes talking about things can help."

"Well.I suppose." Yugi started. "I-I.we.were at Grandpa's house watching TV, when everything just went black and you disappeared! I looked all over for you, and when I saw you, I tried running toward you. Once I got to you, you held out your arms to me, but then when I came to embrace you, you just slapped me across the face and pushed me down! Y- you said that I didn't deserve to be your hikari, a-and that you hated me and wished I never solved that puzzle." Yugi began to cry softly again. The rest he said through choked tears. "I- I was stunned and didn't know what to say, but it didn't matter, because right then you just walked away from me. That was when you woke me."

"I see aibou. I would never do such a thing remember that alright! We'll always be together no matter how far apart we may become! I'll always care for you." 'More than you'll ever imagine.' He thought after.

"Thank you Yami! I'm so glad!" he said as he gave Yami a tight hug, which he eagerly hugged back.

"Come on aibou, let's get ready. You can have the shower first."

"Okay!"

^^^Bakura and Ryou^^^

Ryou awoke the next morning to find his Yami's arms around him lovingly. Bakura was sleeping soundly with a big grin on his face, apparently content with his current position. Ryou decided against moving, one because he would wake Bakura for sure, and two because he was quite enjoying himself. What he did was snuggle back into Bakura's chest and wrap his arms around him as his Yami did.

What Ryou didn't notice was that Bakura had been awake since he had been if not earlier. He decided to show his aibou that he was awake by letting go of him, and bringing his now free hand to his face. He moved some hair away from Ryou's eyes so he could see his face. Ryou's eyes opened startled, but then closed again seeing it was only Bakura. He sighed as his Yami ran his fingers through his hair.

"I love you Yami."

"Love you too aibou, but we have to get the day going. We can relax more once we get to Snowy Hotel."

"Yeah yeah, and remember afterward, you promised me one day of just us."

"Yes of course I remember. Come on." Bakura said getting up.

"Awww. I don't want to." He whined pulling the blankets over him. Bakura saw this as his chance and pulled off the blankets before tickling him.

"Okay okay I'm awake!" he yelled. Bakura stopped his tickle torture on his hikari. "That wasn't fair." Ryou pouted.

"You need to take a shower aibou."

"Oh, alright." Suddenly an idea came to him. "What about you?"

"I'll be going right after you."

"But then you'll have a cold shower!"

"That's alright I don't mind really."

"Well I do. Hey Yami how about we both have a warm shower so neither of us has to be cold."

"Aibou!?"

"You don't have to if you don't want to." Ryou said quietly, then added, "It's not like we're going to do anything."

Bakura pondered at this for a moment, then said, "Okay aibou. We'll both have a warm shower." Ryou smiled a little at this, before walking to the bathroom, his Yami following shortly behind.

^^^Everyone at Hotel Entrance^^^

Once everyone was finished getting themselves ready, they ate breakfast and met at the entrance.

"Ready everyone?" asked Yami.

"Um, er, yes!!" shouted Ryou and Bakura, both a little nervous.

"What's wrong with you two?" asked Yugi. A blush formed on both their faces at the comment.

"N-nothing! Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!!" they said in unison once again.

"Uhh.right." Yugi said, before the group headed to Snowy Hotel to being their vacation.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
