Lily: *smirking evilly*
Yami: And whyyyy would you be smirking like Bakura this time?
Lily: Oh, because it's fun torturing the others!
Bakura: *grins* Way ta go, Lil-chan!
Lily: *laughs evilly* YEAH!! I think I'm driving my bro insane. I keep watching that episode from the first season where Yami duels with Bakura for the first time, and Yugi is the Dark Magician, Jou the Flame Swordsman...
Iris: And he's getting really annoyed by it!!
Lily: Not to mention I keep watching all the 3 seasons' openings on his computer, and keep listening to the songs...
Iris: Besides, she keeps murmuring: "Seconds season..... I need Yugi's second season... second seaaaaaaasoooooooooon..."
Yami: Basically, you're doing your best to drive your brother nuts?
Lily: ^_^
Yugi: That smile answers you question, ne Yami-kun?
Yami: *nods*
Lily: Hehehe... Stopping the ranting, let's begin with the disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! or any of its characters. Never had, never will, so don't bother suing me... =P I just own the plot and the OCs.
Bakura: Yeah, and this story contains shounen ai, and I don't think I really need to tell you guys what that means. This has Yami/Yugi, *grins* Bakura/Ryou and Seto/OC, so don't tell us we didn't warn you, because we certainly DID!
Ryou: ^^U Yeah... anyway, "__" means talking, '__' means thinking, //__// is Yami to Yugi and /__/ is vice-versa.
Lily: Now, let's stop ranting, won't we? *plays "Shuffle" once again*
Lily's bro voice: NOT AGAAAAAAAAIN!! GAAAAAAAAH!!! *runs out screaming bloody murder*
Lily: *smirks* On with this.

(A/N: Yami: Whoaaaaaaaaa, a normal chapter name!! Lily: Oh, shut up ¬¬U Iris: Lack of sugar sucks, ne aibou? Lily: *nods sadly*)
Yugi looked up at him, with wide surprised eyes.
"Yami?" he asked.
"Yugi..." the older teen whispered, and he could sense tears forming in his eyes.
He couldn't take it anymore. Now knowing why Yugi had left, and everything Yami had done to him, the once pharaoh hurried to Yugi's bed and hugged the small teen, making that Yugi was taken back and really surprised by his actions.
Not just that, but the fact that Yami was really there amazed Yugi. How did he get there? How did he know Yugi was there? Why... was he...
Crying?
"Y-Yami..." Yugi said on the taller one's shoulder. "Are you okay?" he asked, and Yami let go of him a little to look into his eyes.
Yugi saw the tears falling from his yami's eyes and his own widened in more surprise. Yami touched the side of his cheek and smiled weakly.
"I am now..." he whispered, and got back to hugging Yugi.
Yami couldn't control the tears that kept falling for the simple fact that he knew why Yugi was broken. It wasn't the few hours that they were apart that made Yami feel like he was the worst person in the whole Earth. It was the fact that Yugi has been feeling miserable for more time than he could think, and he was the one who actually caused his aibou's pain.
It was over now.
Ellian and Chris, the two girls that were with Yami until he decided to storm into the room, stood at the doorway, looking at the scene. Yugi, looking over Yami's shoulder, spotted them there, and at the sight of Ellian, his eyes got even wider.
He knew that girl. She was the one he had met just a year ago, the one that Yami had a big affection towards. Ellian Mayani.
He remembered the time when they had met, and Yugi introduced her to the spirit. Yami blinked, and Yugi could see his eyes got slight watery. After the girl had left, Yugi asked Yami what was wrong, for the spirit was crying. He quickly wiped the tears away, and faced Yugi, smiling.
"She just made me remember of someone from my past. Someone... very important to me, that I lost way too soon, Yugi..." Yugi remembered his answer. He tilted his head to the side, and asked Yami who would be so important. The spirit just smiled wider, and ruffled Yugi's hair. "Someone not as important as you, Yugi." Was his reply, and he hugged a blushing and confused Yugi, laughing slightly as his aibou's reddened cheeks.
Weeks later Yami would be great friends with Ellian, more like brothers, like they have known each other forever.
Yugi didn't know why she was there, but managed to semi-wave to her through the hug Yami was still giving him. She smiled widely and waved back, with Chris rolling her eyes, closing the door soon after.
Ellian started walking down the stairs, towards the front door.
"I have to do some things, but I'll be back later, okay?" Ellian told Chris, who nodded.
"He is going to be here later too, I suppose." Chris said, looking thoughtful for a moment.
"He, huh?" Ellian smirked, and Chris nodded, when the other girl supposed a normal girl would blush. Ellian rolled her eyes, and started walking out, when she heard Chris saying, "If he doesn't come, then I'll be very happy", and laughed, knowing exactly who the crimson-eyed girl was talking about.
Back with Yugi, Yami had finally released him, and was now just looking into his eyes, his own still watery. The realization that he was now with the reason why he had left shook Yugi to reality, and he looked down, breaking the eye contact with his other half. He was still hurt.
"Why... are you here, Yami?" Yugi asked in a weak voice, making the other one blink, then look sadly at Yugi, grabbing his chin and lifting it up, making that the little light looked at him.
"I'm sorry Yugi." Were his words, and they startled Yugi.
The young tenshi looked at Yami in awe, the other one controlling his tears again. He had never cried like this before, and he knew that for sure. But braking Yugi's heart and almost shattering his soul wasn't an ordinary thing, and he was well aware of that. But right now he needed to clear the things.
"I... I... I haven't realized what... was happening... to you, Yugi..." Yami tried to search for the right words to say. "Neither of us did. If we knew... If I knew, I'd never let it happen Yugi..." he said, and touched the side of Yugi's cheek, the little one's attention fully on him. "You were feeling left out, weren't you?" he asked again, and Yugi looked away from him, nodding his head slightly.
"I... tried to talk to you, but... you were always talking to Honda, or Jounouchi, or Anzu..." Yugi said in more than a whisper, but Yami could clearly hear him. He was hearing close to his every word. "And you were always with them, too... You never stayed with me anymore..." Yugi finished, and Yami widened his eyes a little.
"But... that was part your fault, Yugi." Yami said, and Yugi looked at him, hurt evident in his eyes, which made Yami shiver with regret, but he continued. "You didn't have to... stay away from us..."
"Why would I want be with you when you ignored me?" Yugi asked simply, and his words hurt Yami more than he thought.
//I'm sorry, Yugi...// came Yami's hurt and even tearful voice in Yugi's mind, and he almost jumped.
He hadn't realized that the moment Yami entered through that door and hugged him tightly, the mind-link between them was back. And through it Yugi could sense all Yami's feelings... Regret, hurt... And he knew that Yami was telling him the truth. He was really sorry.
"I-I... know you don't... you don't really have to believe me after everything, Yugi... You have the... right not to..." Yami was saying, trying his best to tell Yugi what he really wanted to, even if it... hurt. He now had released Yugi's cheek and was just sitting near him on the bed, looking at the ground. "But please, Yugi..."
//Let me stay with you.// he finished in Yugi's mind, now looking at him. He just wasn't able to say it out loud.
Yugi smiled weakly, and nodded. Yami's eyes watered once more, and he offered his arms, pleading for Yugi to let him hold his aibou again. Yugi obeyed and leaned over, falling on Yami's warmth, letting his head rest on the other's firm chest.
/But Yami.../ Yugi began, and Yami's features filled with hurt, knowing what Yugi tried to tell him, but he smiled with understanding.
//That doesn't mean you forgive me too... Right, aibou?//
Yugi hugged Yami tightly after his words. Even though he was right, Yugi was happy... because Yami had finally called him as he used long time before all this began. With the same tone as well. He smiled against Yami's chest, and closed his eyes.
He maybe didn't forgive Yami yet, and was still hurt...
But he was sure he wouldn't be for too long.
