Runaway - Chapter 10: Feelings and answers
~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~
The whole week Yami kept thinking about how he would tell Yugi his feelings. He still didn't know how he would express such strong feeling to the boy, but he had to.
He needed to show Yugi his true feelings. After everything he had put the boy through, that was the one thing he wanted the most at the moment. Tell Yugi how much he loved him, and hold him close, feeling his soft skin, tasting his lips...
He had wondered once how they tasted. But no, he couldn't figure out with his own mind. Nothing in Yugi could. He was just way too amazing to think about, and so... indescribable.
Walking through the park, the 5000-year-old spirit thought about this feeling. Never had he felt such thing in all his existence, not even when he was the pharaoh. Not towards any other person, but Yugi...
His heart belonged to the angel, and he didn't even know about it. Yami sat under a tree, and there he stayed for hours. When he finally noticed the time, the sky was dark, and some stars started to form in the navy-blue blanket that covered the Earth.
He smiled and closed his eyes, thinking about the time Yugi told him he liked the stars. He now, liked them too. For they reminded him about the only one he had ever loved so much.
~^:^~
Yugi got out of the bathroom, skin still slightly humid from the hot water, and his hair was not spiked as usual. (A/N: *tries to picture him* Aww, cute!! ^-^) He looked around for his yami, but didn't see him anywhere.
Putting on his clothes, he searched for him again, and was finally able to notice that Yami was not in the house. Soon, a cold feeling touched his heart, and he felt slightly dizzy from his own thoughts.
Had Yami left him alone again?
Focusing some more, Yugi noticed that he should stop panicking before getting to any more conclusions. He could be wrong. He hoped he was.
/Y-Yami?/ he asked through their mind-link. He waited a few seconds, but no answer came. He trembled. /Yami!?/ he called again, this time more urgently.
//Yugi?! What is it? Is something wrong?!// came the voice of the other one, and Yugi sighed in relief. The mind-link was still strong, and Yugi felt through it Yami's concern about him.
/No, but I can't find you.../ Yugi replied, smiling a weak smile. /And you didn't answer when I first called you.../
//Sorry, Yugi, I was lost in my thoughts. I'm at the park.// Yami answered, and Yugi could sense he was relieved. Yugi smiled, and nodded, even though Yami couldn't see it.
He grabbed a cloak, and got out of the Game Shop, walking towards the park. The sky was already dark, and if Yugi looked carefully, he could see a few stars. He walked silently.
~^:^~
Hearing Yugi's voice made Yami smile and want to see him. Gods, it wasn't a few hours since he had last saw the boy, and he already felt like it was an eternity.
Maybe because of the weak bond between them, maybe because of the pain Yami had caused him...
He felt like he never wanted to be apart from him again. But he was the one who decided to come to the park alone in the first place. And why had he done it?
Oh yeah, he remembered. He needed to think. Think on the way he would tell Yugi his feelings. But it wasn't something that could be planned... it just...
"So, you don't mind any companion, do you?" asked a voice beside him, and Yami looked up, finding Yugi just there, smiling down at him. He smiled and shook his head slightly, answering Yugi's question silently, and the boy sat down next to him.
Moments of silence flew by, without Yugi or Yami sharing spoken or thought any words to each other, just looking at the night sky, enjoying each other's presence.
By the time Yugi leaned against Yami, the taller one knew that Yugi wasn't hurt anymore, and smiled. In just a week, he managed the boy to be happy and he was never alone anymore. Yami walked him to school, and back home. After finishing his homework, they would talk, mostly Yugi telling him about his day, and then the doorbell would ring. His friends would be there, and they would all help Yugi with the Game Shop, until the end of the day.
Yugi was more bright and cheerful than ever, every time his friends laughed or joked. Their presence there, it was all... he had wanted for a long time. And he was happy... Happy that everything was coming back to what it was before.
Except without Anzu and with Ellian and Chris. And he was feeling just great with it.
"You think it's going to rain?" Yami asked, and he saw Yugi shaking his head, eyes still on the sky.
"Not so soon." He replied.
Yami had to tell Yugi now, when they were finally able to brake the silence between them. And with courage enough, he started his confession.
//Yugi...// he began, and the boy turned to him, looking into his eyes. Ruby and amethyst locked on each other, and Yami felt he needed to continue. //I... I... have to tell you something...//
/What is it, Yami?/ Yugi asked with his sweet voice, waiting patiently for the other one to continue. Yami reached out and placed his hand on Yugi's cheek, caressing it in a lovely way.
//I... found out... something very important. And... it has to do with you.// he breathed in, and looked deeply in Yugi's eyes. //I... I.. I'm... in love with you.// he finally told him, and looked away.
Yugi blinked, his mind taking a little time to understand what he had just heard. He couldn't believe... that the one he had loved for a while now had confessed his love for him.
After everything that had happened... Yami's tears for him... Yugi now felt through their mind-link all the emotions Yami was feeling now, and they were warm and true...
So much love for him, so much... He felt his eyes getting watery, and smiled. Yami was still looking away, waiting for his answer, blushing a little. His heart was beating faster, and he was anxious for the boy's reply.
Yugi reached and touched Yami's cheek, making the ex-pharaoh look at him. Yami saw tears streaming down his angelic face, and a smile was dancing on his lips.
//Yugi...//
/Aishiteru, Yami/ came his reply, and he sniffed.
Yami's eyes widened in surprise, and he too smiled. Without much hesitation, he pulled Yugi closer, and touched his lips with his own.
He would never be able to describe the taste of Yugi's lips, but he just felt as they were just like the boy, sweet and warm. Soon the boy let Yami deepen the kiss, and he was able to touch Yugi's tongue with his, making them dance in their own rhythm, along with each other's heart beat.
Holding his waist, while Yugi held his neck, Yami still caressed Yugi's cheek with his thumb, and Yugi passed his fingers through his hair, their kiss still passionate and true.
When they parted for breath, the wave of feelings filling their hearts, minds and souls was infinite, and they could never name all of them. Happiness, warmth, completeness, and love... many, many times more than the others...
Yugi could never be any happier, and the tears of joy kept falling down his smooth skin. Yami smiled and wiped some of them with his fingers, then started to kiss them away, and the gesture still kind of made the boy blush slightly.
"Aishiteru, hikari no tenshi..." Yami whispered on his ear, the hot breath touching his skin and making him shiver a little. Yami then pulled him into another deep kiss.
/Aishiteru, Yami-kun... zutto.../ Yugi said as they parted.
//Hai, tenshi... Aishiteru, aibou, zutto...// Yami smiled as they shared the love confessions, willing the forever...
Walking back home, the two joined hands, fingers united, smiling and holding each other. Yugi's gray and dusted past was erased, and a bright future waited for him.
The love of Yami enveloping him in a close embrace, making a pact with the eternity.
[ THE END ]
