Chapter 3: I'm lit

~~General P.O.V~~
Yuugi could only stand at the door and gape. Yami was wearing a leather outfit and holding a red rose. A sleeveless top and leather pants. All black. 'Wow' Yuugi thought. 'He looks sexy-Whoa!! He only looks cool! Not sexy!! But he does look really sexy-Okay! That's enough!'

"Yuugi?" asked a voice, interrupting Yuugi's thoughts. "Can I come in?" Yami asked. Yuugi smiled. "Sure! Come on in!" he greeted. Yami smiled. Yami stepped into Yuugi's small house.

"Make yourself at home. I'll be right back." Yuugi stated. Yami turned to him and nodded. Yuugi rushed upstairs while Yami looked around Yuugi's living room.

'His home is really small' he thought. Yami then spied Yuugi's CD player with sheDAISY's case near it. Yami picked up the CD case and examined it. 'Hmm, I wonder why Yuugi listens to this'

Yami then spied a small, silver locket on the table. 'Wow' he thought. Yami picked up the locket and looked at it. 'He must've spent a lot for this' Yami opened the locket and found a picture of Yuugi and his grandpa in it. Yami then heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Would you like something to drink?" Yuugi asked. Yami shook his head. Yami then held out the rose. "This is for you, Yuugi." he said. Yuugi smiled, then took the rose.

"Thank you Yami. It's beautiful." he sighed. Yuugi then put it in a nearby vase near the window. Yami was now looking at the locket. Yuugi had a sad smile on his face.

"I gave it to Anzu when we were dating. Then she broke it." he explained. Yami saw Yuugi's sad expression and put down the locket.

Yami pulled Yuugi into his arms and hugged him. "Anzu is a bitch that deserves to rot in hell. So don't feel bad about what happened. You didn't deserve that." he whispered into Yuugi's ear.

Yuugi was surprised. He never had someone say that to him before. He naver had someone hug him before. Yuugi then thought back on the roof earlier that day, the way Yami caressed his face. He felt complete, safe, and okay.

Yuugi returned the hug. Yami was a little surprised, but glad. Thw two embraced with warmth and love. Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard. Yuugi broke the embrace. "I have to see who's at the door." he said to Yami. Yami nodded.

Yuugi opened the door and saw a very pissed Anzu. "Hi Anzu! Do you need something?" he asked in a cheery voice, even though he was scared to death. Anzu glared.

"Where's Yami? I know he's here!" she replied. Yuugi had a confused look on his face. "If you know he's here, then why are you asking where he is?" Anzu grabbed Yuugi by the collar.

"'Cause I know you're hiding him, shrimp! Now where is he?!" she demanded.

"I'm right here, Anzu." answered a rich voice. Both Yuugi and Anzu turned around and saw Yami standing with a smirk on his face. "Can you please gently drop Yuugi?" he requested casually. Anzu smiled.

She just dropped Yuugi, making Yuugi fall to the ground hard. "Ow!" he whispered. Yami looked at Yuugi with worry. Anzu glared at Yuugi. Yami went over to Yuugi and helped him sit up.

"Are you okay Yuugi?" he asked. Yuugi smiled at Yami and nodded. Yami smiled, then glared at Anzu. "What do you want, Mazaki?" he asked with pure venom in his voice. Anzu, of course, didn't notice this.

"I want to go out with you, Yami. Forget about that shrimp, Yuugi. He's nothing. I can give you more than he can." she said. Anzu then walked closer to Yami.

Yami looked at her with disgust. "Whatever you can give me, Yuugi will always give me twice as more." he replied. Yuugi was shocked. 'I have nothing to give him thought' he thought.

Anzu looked at Yuugi with pure hate. "He's nothing but a loser who can't defend himself! Why do you stand up and defend the guy like he's your long- lost lover when he's a weak bastard?!" she demanded.

"And you aren't?! The reason why I stand up for him is because I see something in him that you'll never have. Purity, kindness, and a beautiful soul. You, Anzu, have nothing. Leave Yuugi's place, or I'll make you." he threatened. Anzu glared at Yuugi. *You'll pay for this* she mouthed. Yuugi felt instant fear coming into his heart.

Anzu left, with hatred and jealousy for Yuugi. Yami walked back toward Yuugi. "Are you okay?" he asked gently. Yuugi nodded.

"Why did you defend me like that? Most people, excluding my friends, would just let it go." he said. Yami sighed, then reached up his hand and began to caress Yuugi's cheek.

'This is just like on the rooftop' Yuugi thought. "Becasue Yuugi, someone like you shouldn't take words like that from someone like her. You have suffered too much already. I don't want you to suffer anymore." he answered. Yuugi opened his mouth to protest, but was cut off by Yami kissing him passionately.

'This kiss, feels so good' Yuugi thought. Yuugi leaned into the kiss, surprising Yami. Yami was glad, and made the kiss deeper. Suddenly, Yami broke the kiss. Yuugi looked up at him in surprise and protest.

Yami smiled and caressed Yuugi's cheek. "I'm sorry, Yuugi, but I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow." he whispered. Then Yami walked out the door.

~~Yuugi's P.O.V~~
No, he's leaving. But my actions surprised even myself. Why did I lean into Yami's kiss? Do I love him? Well, I have to start on dinner.

I'm trying to make miso soup, but I kept on thinking of Yami. I can never forget his warmth, his lips, his words. I absentmindedly put my dash in, before the water boiled. I finally realize what I'm doing.

Oh great, now the soup's ruined. Oh well, better make some ramen then. I took out some ramen, and made it in less than 30 minutes. I sat down with my ramen and looked around. My home has lost its homey atmosphere since Grandpa died.

But when Yami was here, the atmosphere returned. It's like I need him here with me. I think I have feelings for him. Does he have feelings for me?

I finished my ramen, put the bowl into the sink, and went to my room. I took my CD player with sheDAISY in it with me.

I reached my room and put on my headphones of the CD player. Then, for some reason, I want Yami to kiss me again. I need him here, I want him here, I can't concentrate when he's around, but that's okay. I love him.

I turned on my CD player, and skipped to song number 2. It reminds me of the way I feel about Yami. I laid on my bed and listened to the song.

/Do you know I'm thinking you/ /Can you feel me drinking you/ /Is any of this sinking through/ /Neatly, so completely bent/ /By this brilliant accident/ /Couldn't seem to circumvent/ /Your dizzy exhilaration/ /Clouding my concentration/

/I'm lit, don't you get it yet/ /See the circus in my head/ /I'm tangled in the net/ /Baby this is it/ /I'm lit, nothing left to do/ /But another shot of you/ /I can't stop this spinning room/ /Baby this is it, I'm lit/

/It's getting hard to breathe in here/ /Maybe I should disappear/ /Find another atmosphere/ /Or maybe I should come clean/ /Take it to a new extreme/ /Fashionably make a scene/ /But there is no need to panic/ /I'm just a harmless romantic/

/I'm lit, don't you get it yet/ /See the circus in my head/ /I'm tangled in the net/ /Baby this is it/ /I'm lit, nothing left to do/ /But another shot of you/ /I can't stop this spinning room/ /Baby this is it, I'm lit/

/Someone get the dog and hitch the truck/ /And drag me from this table/ /Before they come and lock me up/ /Declaring me/ /Declaring me unstable/

/I'm lit, don't you get it yet/ /See the circus in my head/ /I'm tangled in the net/ /Baby this is it/ /I'm lit, nothing left to do/ /But another shot of you/ /I can't stop this spinning room/ /Baby this is it, I'm lit/

/I'm lit, don't you get it yet/ /See the circus in my head/ /I'm tangled in the net/ /Baby this is it/ /I'm lit, nothing left to do/ /But another shot of you/ /I can't stop this spinning room/ /Baby this is it, I'm lit/

/Yeah, I'm lit/

~~General P.O.V~~
Meanwhile, Yami was walking around, happy and content. 'I can't believe he leaned into the kiss' he thought. 'I had a feeling I was moving too fast, but it seems that Yuugi's inner wish is for someone to love him' Suddenly, Yami spied someone hiding behind a tree.

"You can show yourself now, Isis." he commanded. Isis stepped out. She had shoulder/mid-length black hair, ocean blue eyes, and tan skin. She was wearing an Egyptian gown. "Yami, have you told him yet?" she questioned. Yami shook his head.

"Not yet. It's not time." he answered curtly. Isis frowned. "He'll find out sooner or later." she warned. Yami smirked. "I hope it's later." he replied.
