Love Among Friends

Chapter 16: Yugi's Forgiveness

Sorry I took so long to update, and I have no excuse for not updating except my laziness and procrastination. Maybe I will add add more y/y fluff in this chapter since you have all been such loyal readers, patiently waiting and pushing me until I update the story!

Enough of me, here's the fic!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami stood there for a moment, frowning at his incapability to put the reasons for his past actions into words. As he turned back to Yugi, he found his light blinking cutely waiting for Yami to explain the feelings he had felt through their mind link. Forcing his crimson eyes to directly meet the gaze of lavender eyes in front of him, he took a deep breath.

"I guess I just got carried away..." he started. His hikari hadn't turned away in disgust and anger; instead, he sat patiently waiting for his dark to explain himself.

"The only reason I was able to kiss Kaiba"-Yugi flinched at the sound of the name- "was because I imagined that Kai-he was you. I swear to you Yugi, there is nothing between him and me....I'd even swear it on our Millennium Puzzle if I had to!"

Yugi grinned when he mentioned the Millennium Puzzle belonging to both of them.

"I believe you." he murmured. "but I do have one question though."

He leaned close to Yami so that their lips were almost touching.

"Why don't you ever kiss me like that?" he asked teasingly, his lips brushing against his dark's with every single word he spoke.

Yami was speechless over his light's newfound forwardness, but it didn't take him very long to get over it!

"Why don't we try it now?" he suggested, licking his lips seductively and it was Yugi's turn to be speechless.

Without waiting for a reply, he leaned forward slightly, capturing Yugi's lips and muffling his light's tiny gasp of surprise. Yugi quickly got over his 'surprise' and softly kissed his dark back, lightly pressing his lips against Yami's. Yugi could feel the spirit's grin through their kiss, and soon his kisses became more demanding and passionate.

After they came up for air, Yami quickly brought Yugi's lips back to his own. He licked Yugi's bottom lip, and though it was only through instinct, his hikari parted his lips ever slightly. Knowing this was Yugi's first French kiss, Yami gently slid his tongue through those beautiful parted lips. Yugi started to gasp, but then realized he liked the feelings this kiss stirred inside him. Yami's tongue caressed his own and he moaned with delight.

Looking around for the first time since his yami's kiss, Yugi realized that it was way darker than it was when he had first gotten there. He shivered and Yami noticed and began to rub his arms, trying to make them warmer. After he realized it wasn't working, he picked up the small boy and held him close. Yugi wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and rested his head against the spirit's chest.

/We should be getting home....we have to go to the mall tommorrow./ Yugi yawned into Yami's shirt.

//Darn it.// Yami muttered darkly. //I guess we have to go then...//

/Yami, don't be so glum./ Yugi scolded. /We can have fun on the way home./

I know it was short and I might write a couple more chapters, but I'm not sure yet. If I decide to write more, it won't be updated soon because I'm going to Virginia for a few days. Please read/review and if you want more chapters, ask or demand(nicely) lol.
