Here With Me
Chapter 4: Forgiven
Yami didn't even acknowledge the retreating figures as Jou pulled the door to the Game Shop shut; he couldn't take his eyes away from the unconcious Yugi. While everyone had been in the room, he barely been able to catch a glimpse of him; now that the room was completely empty except for him and Yugi, what he saw made him catch his breath. Innocent little Yugi sported a black eye, a broken nose, a swollen jaw, and Yami could sense many other bruises on the young boy's body hidden by his clothing.
When Yami carefully lifted his aibou from the wheelchair, his theories were confirmed when Yugi yelped in pain. Serenity had been right to threaten and scold him; it was mostly his fault that Yugi had been hurt. If he hadn't been so selfish, he would have been able to defend Yugi from the bully who had caused him this much pain. Luckily, he knew that with the powers of the Millennium Puzzle, he would be able to heal Yugi.
Cradling his light, he gently rubbed his thumb over Yugi's darkened eyelid, causing the boy to yelp with pain. But just as quick, the black eye was gone and the pain went with it. Yami continued to doing this until he was sure all the boy's aches had ceased. With each tear and cry that Yugi emitted, Yami cried with him because although he was not physically hurt, he felt responsible for the freshman's distress.
'Now to help him heal mentally,' Yami thought, frowning; that was the hard part.
He disappeared from the living room and reappeared in the corridors of Yugi's mind. After a few moments, he found the room with toys scattered all over the floor and found Yugi in there; he was tossing and turning on the floor where he had cried himself to sleep for the millionth time it seemed. Just the sight of his light like this made Yami upset, but he entered the soul room, tripping over the toys on the floor and making his way to his aibou.
"I'm coming, Yugi," Yami whispered as he tripped over a Jack-in-The-Box.
After what seemed like forever, the ex-pharaoh had reached the freshman's side.
"Wake up, Yugi!" Yami demanded. "Yugi, it's me!"
Yugi rolled over and groaned. That voice sounded familiar, but what if it was just his exhausted mind playing tricks on him again? Could his dark really be back?
Yami ran a finger down Yugi's wet cheek tracing a tear stain before finally using his shirt to erase the tear stains from his light's face. What had Yugi ever done to him to deserve the punishment of losing someone he loved and become so exhausted, he had to cry himself to sleep for two whole weeks? Nothing, Yami answered himself mentally. Yugi had always been so loyal and brave and if it weren't for him, he(Yami) might have not recovered his former memories from his reign as Pharaoh in Egypt. He didn't deserve a hikari as loyal as his own.
Yami's thoughts were interrupted as he felt pressure around his waist and hearing a muffled sobbing. It was Yugi hugging his legs as if he'd never let go ever. Once Yugi had composed himself, Yami pulled him to his feet and wrapped him in the circle of his arms. Meeting the young boy's lips with his own in a gentle, chaste kiss, he was surprised when he found it returned.
"I'll never leave your side ever again," Yami promised before claiming Yugi's lips with his own.
