It was Monday morning. It was a beautiful day where the air held the
scent of cherry blossoms. This day was meant to be enjoyed and not wasted,
for it was a rare and special occasion.
Yugi was eating breakfast with Yami and Grampa when suddenly he felt that he should tell Yami about it.
"Yami, can I ask you something?"
"Yes, what is it, Yugi?"
"Can you come with me to my room so I can tell you about it?"
Yami went blank for a second and finally said, "Sure, okay."
"Finished breakfast already, you two?" Grampa asked.
"Uh, yeah," Yugi replied.
"Oh okay."
So Yugi and Yami went to Yugi's room and sat on the bed. Yugi began to look down. Yami became confused and asked him what was wrong.
"Yugi, what's the matter? You seem worried about something."
"Yeah, about that," Yugi began to touch Yami's right arm, "I'm afraid that we're pulling away from each other so soon. I'm afraid that I'll lose you forever and never see you again."
Yami was surprised to hear what Yugi was telling him. Pulling away? In some way that didn't seem as perposterous as it sounded.
"Yugi, can you tell me what you mean?"
"I mean that I think that we are probably going to never love one another again."
This time Yami was perfectly speechless. He wanted to say something to Yugi but he didn't know what. Now he understood what Yugi meant by simply "pulling away." So just when he was out of things to say to comfort Yugi, he hugged him, making Yugi's cheek push against his chest. Hoping that it would help, Yami began to stroke Yugi's hair and pulled him a little bit closer to himself.
Yugi was awestruck at what Yami's attempt to make him feel better. He calmed down a bit, and he started to blush a very faint shade of red.
"I understand what you mean by pulling away now, Yugi," Yami finally found the correct words to say, and closed his eyes.
"Oh," Yugi said, still in awe of Yami himself, "so what do you suggest that we should do about it? I know I'll love you forever but now it seems to be fading; erasing itself from my mind, and now I fear that the very thought of you will be erased from my heart, and, and," Yugi's eyes welled up in tears and he burst out, "OH I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!!"
Yugi burst into tears and now he was bawling his eyes out. Yami didn't know what to do so he patted Yugi and tried to ease him for a little while.
"Shhh, it's okay, Yugi, it's okay," Yami said softly, and he rocked him gently, back and forth. "I know how you feel, Yugi, I know. I will always love you, no matter what. I promise."
That stopped Yugi's bawling and eased it to little whimpers. All he could do now was just lay there in Yami's arms, and say nothing else. So Yugi went motionless inside Yami's arms, and never said another word. Yami held him up, making all that Yugi could see was Yami's face.
"Wow, at least I know now that you will never lose interest in me," Yugi said, slowly going to Yami until they were just inches away. "But what about me? I'm losing it. Oh Yami, what do I do?"
Yami kissed his cheek softly and said, "Don't worry, Yugi. If you forget me, I'll still love you. I'll do anything you desire. I'll see to it that if you forget, I'll to anything it takes to make you remember me and anything else."
"Thanks, Yami. I'm glad that you care." Yugi smiled.
"Anything for you, Yugi."
Later on, they went outside and saw Joey walking with Serenity. It was at the park near the woods. Joey saw them.
"Hey guys!"
"Oh hi, Joey!" "Hello," Serenity waved.
"Hello." Yami said.
"How are you?" Serenity asked.
"Fine," Yami said.
The foursome engaged in conversation about each other. After what seemed like 20 minutes of chitchat Yugi and Yami went home.
"Yami?"
"Hm?"
"I'm cold."
"Oh, but it's as warm as Egypt out here!"
"Really?"
"Yes. Is something wrong? Do you want my jacket?"
"That'd help," Yugi said, shivering. Even if they were only one house away, Yugi couldn't take it. Yami put his jacket on Yugi, when suddenly Yugi nearly collapsed. Yami grabbed him just in time.
"Yugi, are you okay?" Yami asked, and looked down at Yugi.
"Yeah," Yugi said, as one eye closed itself, "but I need to---"
And then everything went black.
