Yuugi returned home with a sigh. Today was not his day. He kicked his shoes off, and placed them beside the door neatly. Yugi was about to stalk into the living room when sudden arms were wrapped around him, stopping him abruptly.
"Yami…?" Yugi asked uncertainly, slowly lifting his arms to return the affectivity, but was unfortunately stopped by his yami releasing him.
"Yes, Yugi. Where did you go?" Yami asked, eyeing Yuugi in concern. Yuugi can see the regard and worry mixed in his eyes, which caused Yugi's own eyes to water a little. However, he didn't want to forgive Yami so fast for what he, Honda, and Jou have done to Anzu…
"I… I went to the mall…" Yugi choked out, not daring to mention Anzu. Somehow, he couldn't find the ability to admit that he still loved her, no matter what she lied about Yami. It was a puzzle why he still considered her as a girlfriend, under all the circumstances…
"Went to the mall…? With Anzu…?" Yami questioned him gently, trying his best to conceal his suspiciousness. Yugi blinked, and looked away. So, Yami knew. Yugi nodded truthfully, biting his lips nervously.
Yami gave him a shaky 'I-am-happy-for-you' smile. "You still love her."
Yugi avoided Yami's hypnotic glaze. "Yes, I do."
Yami opened his mouth to say something, but closed it when he found that he has nothing in reply to Yugi's words. He shook his head silently to himself, and blinked his head towards Yugi.
"Yuugi…" Yami started. He could hold it no longer. These words, these words that he had wanted to tell Yugi for so long… They had to come out now. Now.
"Does… does Anzu really mean this much to you? Have you ever… wondered, just wondered, if… if I loved you instead of Anzu…?" Yami finished off bitterly, suddenly regretting everything he said.
Silence gifted the atmosphere as Yugi let the words sink into his head slowly. His eyes widened in response, and Yugi slowly turned his head towards Yami. There, Yami returned the soft stare. Yugi felt himself flush, and began chewing on his tongue nervously.
Did… did Yami just confessed to him? Yugi found no answer to reply to neither Yami's words nor his own thoughts. All he could do was blush up at Yami.
After a few moments, Yami knew this was getting more awkward by the second. He nervously rubbed the back of his neck, and laughed shakily. Yugi smiled and laughed too, and both understood that it was best to forget the embarrassing situation.
"Let's… have dinner," Yami suggested, and Yugi nodded at once. Although Yugi would never speak of Yami's question anymore, he caught himself blushing at the thought. There was a sudden odd feeling that lurched within him when he looked up at the handsome yami, and he felt heat rushing to his face almost instantly.
Yuugi was confused at the feelings that he had when Yami smiled at him or look at him. Why was this happening? He has never felt uneasy being with Yami… what is wrong with him…? Lost in his thoughts, Yugi didn't notice that he was frozen in his place.
Yami looked up from his plate, and saw Yugi staring at his dinner, eyes focused and hands frozen in place. "Yugi? Is something wrong?"
Yuugi jumped at Yami's rich tone and flushed when he saw Yami's concerned eyes. He swallowed and shook his head hastily. "No-nothing, yami…"
This statement was followed by Yugi's fork dropping to the floor with a loud metallic cling. Yuugi swallowed, eyeing the silverware. "Opps… I-I'll go pick it up…"
Yugi jumped off his chair, tripping and knocking it over accidentally. Yugi opened his mouth, but no words came out. He felt his already burning face rise its colour even more. Yuugi just stood there, slapping himself mentally for being so clumsy, especially in front Yami! 'What's gotten into me today!?'
Yami rushed to him and picked the chair back up. "Yugi? Is something wrong?"
"No, no… really, nothing, yami…" Yugi stumbled over his words. "Ex-excuse me for a minute…"
He rushed to the bathroom, and turned on the tap hastily. Splashing water on his hot-red cheeks, Yugi was deep in thoughts. Why did he suddenly feel so… limp whenever his eyes made contact with Yami's? Why did he blush whenever Yami speaks to him? And why was he so clumsy? After Yami's half confession, he had felt so different towards Yami. Why, though? Why?
He eyed himself at the mirror, and his face was still flushed hotly. "Ugh…" He mumbled, shaking his head to himself. Heading out back to the dining room, he spot Yami smiling gently at him. Yugi flushed once more.
"Are you sure you're all right, aibou?" Yami questioned, his eyebrows raised. Yugi nodded numbly.
"H-hai, yami…"
The evening after was full of bashful events occurring, as Yugi now found that it was rather uncomfortable when Yami was around. He was confused, at why he was all of a sudden so… clumsy around his yami. Yami's just his yami, right…?
Not long after, the two perched down on the couch for television (A/N: No idea of what show, though… =\ ). Yami was the first one to sit down, and he chose to sit in the middle of the couch. Yugi, then, has no choice but to sit next to him, and they were sitting rather close. Occasionally, Yami's arm would brush against his, and cause butterflies to gloat in Yugi's stomach.
Yugi would bore his eyes onto Yami's handsome face now and then, and then flash crimson immediately when Yami turned and smiled at him. It was then when Yami actually laughed at how red Yuugi's face was, and he curled an arm around his aibou. Yugi smiled and slightly lean against Yami's shoulder, and Yami returned his smile gleefully.
It was an awkward moment, when both smiled at each other, and their eyes piercing through each other's. Yami slowly leaned forward towards his aibou, and when Yugi's forehead and Yami's lips were a few centimetres apart, Yugi closed his eyes. The butterflies in his stomach fluttered around, as Yami went closer, closer…
The phone rang. This loud interruption caused both to jump, and immediately blush fiercely. Yami recovered first from their awkwardness, and smiled slightly at his aibou before reaching for the phone.
"Hello?" Yami asked bluntly. There were seconds of insane laughing on the other line.
"I would like to speak to my honey, Yami." The person spoke. This person, unsurprisingly, was Anzu Misaki. Yami scowled.
"I certainly do not believe that you would ever have a honey." Yami said politely, although barely concealing the mocking matter in his voice.
"Awww, is wittle Yami jealous??" Anzu said, obviously enjoying herself.
"I'd rather trap myself into the puzzle again than be jealous of you. Besides, like anyone is jealous of you. "
A loud laugh. "…You just don't know, Yami. Tut, tut, tut. Guys and girls stare at me desirably with their faces looking so wistful as I walk down the school hall."
"Wrong. Perhaps you've mistaken their looks. I certainly believe that they were trying not to barf out at your be-yoo-ti-ful face."
Yuugi, though hearing only Yami's words, made a simple hypothesis that it was bluntly Anzu on the other line. He immediately felt disappointment, since if Anzu hasn't disturb the moment, Yami might have… kissed him, probably… Yugi felt himself blush about the awkwardness.
Wait… since when did he ever blame a thing on Anzu for Yami? Yugi just shook his thoughts away, deciding it was not necessary to think about them. But the reason why he had suddenly felt new sensations towards Yami remained a mystery.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The next day at school, things were getting out of hand. Ryou, whose yami has caused Anzu some trouble the day before, was occasionally cornered by Anzu and had his hair nearly ripped off by her dead grip. Although Bakura would then jump out of the ring and scare the hell out of her, Anzu seized every chance she has on revenge on Ryou.
Yugi, however, daydreamed his day, thinking about the special moment with Yami the day before. It was special and rare, only to be interrupted by Anzu's phone call… He had shown the girl less attention today, as Yugi was now into something more… attracting. Frequently Yugi would end up wondering why there was a sudden big change towards his feelings for Yami, why he had been such an idiot when Yami was around…
Yugi's lack of interest towards Anzu was unfortunately noticed. She was furious, as whenever she calls Yugi's name, he seemed to have ignored it. Anzu knew this had to be something Yami had done… Something that made Yugi dazzled in thoughts. But, this was going to be fixed…
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
And we stop here. Gomen for the short chappie! __ And Anzu wasn't bashed around in this chapter… V__v;; How could I!?!? *whacks self* =\
Ahh, poor poor Yugi doesn't understand his feelings for Yami… *giggles* Well, he's starting to love Yami now… OoOoOoO… Ahem. Yes, I can't stand his liking Anzu all the time! @__@…
Next chapter, we see more bashing, more fluff. ^___^
