-Domino Park-

Yami was sitting on the bench that his koi had sat on earlier that day.

The sun was falling and the sky was turning into a beautiful mix of yellow, red and gold. Yami sighed as he watched the sun go down, thinking about his hikari. Autumn leaves fell from the trees in the park. The combination of the sunset, the autumn leaves and the bird's song made the park almost magical at this time of day.

'I must confront my light about his problem. If he cannot trust me enough to tell me, I will just have to understand,' he thought to himself, knowing well that he would not. The sun had almost faded by now, so he made his way back to the shop… and Yugi.

When he finally got home, he was tired, even though it was barely eight. 'The long walk must have tired me,' he thought to himself.

He went up to his and Yugi's room where he slept, and tried the doorknob. It turned easily. Yugi couldn't have been too mad at him, then. He walked in the dark room and closed the door, only to be met with Yugi's angelic sleeping figure.

'Why does he have to be so beautiful?' he thought to himself. With the moonlight flooding in through the window, Yugi's face was highlighted perfectly… and Yami could see tear stains.

'I did that…' It upset Yami to see his light cry. He did not want his hikari to feel any pain. (A/N: Just so you know… Yami and Yugi sleep in their boxers. Why? Because A- this is my fic and 3- it's real damn sexy ^-^)

Yami stripped himself of his clothes, leaving him only in his boxers. He quietly crept over to his side of the bed they shared. He crawled under the covers. Knowing Yugi was asleep, Yami snuggled next to him and put his arms about the smaller boy's waist, only squeezing him lightly, so as not to wake him. He then put his lips up to his light's ear and whispered, "I am sorry my koi. I did not mean to make you cry." With that, he kissed the smaller boy lightly on the neck and reluctantly let go of him as he rolled over, waiting for sleep to take him.

'What just happened?' Yugi asked himself in confusion.

A/N: Oooh… I like where this is going! R&R! I can't decide between putting a lemon in the next chapter, (thus shortening the story) or leaving Yugi in his confused state for a while. Hmmm… * goes off to ponder *
