~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami lay on his bed, glaring at the ceiling. What's this I'm feeling? He asked himself angrily.
He looked at the alarm clock by his bed. The red numbers "3:26" stared back at him. "Insomnia," he answered himself, out loud.
He sat up, feet hanging over the side of his bed.
He jumped when he heard a knock on his door. He turned to his door, and saw his smaller, more innocent counterpart standing there.
"Hey, Yami. Still up?" Yuugi asked quietly.
Yami nodded. "You too, huh Aibou?" Yami smiled.
Yuugi also nodded. "Can I come in?" He asked.
Yami slid up closed to the head of his bed, making room for Yuugi. "Come on."
Yuugi came and sat beside Yami. "Can we talk Yami?" He asked.
"Sure, what's bothering you, Aibou?" Yami asked, looking at his other's face.
"Have you been avoiding me, Yami?" Yuugi asked suddenly.
Yami looked at him, shocked. "No, why would you think that?" He asked.
"Well," Yuugi started. "You don't hang out with the gang and me anymore, and whenever we're alone too long, you just getup and leave," Yuugi explained.
Yami stayed silent. When Yuugi put it that way, it really did sound like he was avoiding him. "It's nothing Aibou," Yami sighed. "I just have a lot on my mind."
"Oh yeah. Kaiba-kun's contest is coming up, is it not?" Yuugi asked.
"Oh my Ra! Kaiba-kun's contest! I nearly forgot!" Yami exclaimed. He jumped off the bed and ran to the dresser, Yuugi forgotten.
Yuugi sighed and stood up. "G'night Yami," he sighed, suddenly feeling tired.
"Yeah, later aibou," Yami said absent mindedly. The rest of the night, Yami stayed up, building up a new deck of Duel Monster cards.
At 6 AM the next morning, Yuugi's alarm clock went off. His hand reached out from a bundle of blankets, and turned the annoying buzzer off. He stayed still for a while, before pushing the blankets off of him.
It was Friday. He sighed. He had school that day, but he was exhausted. He dragged himself into the shower, and turned on the water.
He shivered, as the cold water splashed over his body, before it finally warmed up.
Soon, he sleepily stumbled out of the shower, and into his room, where he brushed his hair and got dressed.
He went into Yami's room, and looked at Yami, sprawled across his dresser, fast asleep.
Yuugi walked behind him, and looked at the desk. There were some random strategies laid across his dresser.
Yuugi sighed, and leaned down, his chin hovering above Yami's shoulder, his lips near Yami's ear. "You stayed up all night, didn't you?" He whispered. "Don't over work yourself Yami," he sighed, "even you can't do everything."
He looked at the clock. It was 7:10. He had time for a small breakfast, but he had to be at the subway by 7:30.
He stood up straight, and walked out of Yami's room.
Yami moaned, and turned over.
Yami's eyes eased open, and the first thing he saw was his clock, it's red, digital numbers glaring back at him angrily.
It read 12;30. He blinked. When had he fallen asleep? He grinned, Yuugi would be at school until 4:30. He had four hours to himself before he'd try to make-up for ignoring Yuugi and their talk last night.
All he had to do was get out before Yuugi's Grandpa laid a pile of chores on him.
He tiptoed out of his room, and looked around. So far, so good. He ran the rest of the way down the stairs, and put on his shoes at the door.
He was just walking out the door when he heard Grandpa's voice.
"Yami! Is that you?" He called, before walking into the lobby, where Yami stood motionlessly, his hand on the door handle, and his face filled with disappointment.
"Good. Do you think you could go to the store and get me these?" Grandpa smiled, handing Yami a list and some money. "If there's any money left over, get yourself something." Yami grumbled and took the money and the list. "And when you're done, come back here and watch the shop, okay?"
Yami nodded, and walked out of the shop. 'If I had left just a little earlier,' he thought angrilly.
He had wanted to relax. Get his thought's and feelings sorted out before he talked to Yuugi again.
He walked into the grocery store, and looked around. The first thing on the list was milk.
He grabbed a cart, and walked across the store for some milk. Then he checked it off of the list.
Next was rice. He sighed. He felt he was going to be here forever. The rice was clear across the store.
He stopped as soon as he walked into the aisle. Malik, Ryou, Marik and Bakura were all there, in the isle.
Yami was about to leave before they spotted him when he heard Marik.
"Hey, look! It's the ickle Pharaoh," he said, mockingly.
Yami froze, slapped himself mentally, then turned towards them again.
"What are you doing here?" Bakura sneered.
"I could ask you the same thing," Yami replied coldly. "Especially why Malik and Ryou are here when they should be in school."
"We asked you first," Marik answered.
"If you must know, Yuugi's grandpa sent me," Yami answered. "Your turn."
"Ore no Turn, I mean -" Marik mentally kicked himself. He had been dueling too much.
Ryou walked up to Marik, putting his arm around his waist, then leaned against him. Marik glared down at him.
"We need food Yami," Ryou answered quietly.
Yami nodded. "Okay," he said, looking at Ryou and Marik. He would've never thought the two of them would get together.
"You got a problem, Pharaoh?" hissed Marik.
"No, no problem," Yami answered lightly, almost bordedly.
"Good," Bakura said. He pulled Malik in close, and began to kiss him roughly.
Marik's eyes lit up as he turned to the ex-pharaoh. "You have a problem now?" Marik sneered.
"No. Still no problem," Yami said. He attempted to maneuver through the others, but was stopped by Bakura, who had pulled away from the now blushing Malik.
"Really? I would've thought that the uptight Pharaoh would be disgusted," Bakura paused. "Oh, no, that's right, you had that thing with one of your priests back in the day, didn't you? The one with the ring. What was his name?"
Yami tried to push through them again, but once again was stopped by Bakura.
"It's not important, I suppose," Bakura smirked. "But you kept that relationship a secret, didn't you? Or at least tried to. But a thief like me knows everything. I killed him, remember?"
Yami's eyes narrowed dangerously. "You won't make the same mistake again, will you? Keeping it quiet. Your priest didn't think you felt the same way. Just thought you were using him," Yami's eyes widened. "But he stuck with you til the very end because he 'loved' you so much. You'll tell who you like this time, right? Won't try to keep it a secret?
"Who is it? I want to know who to kill this time. Is it Jonouchi? Honda? Yu -" The rest of the name was cut off as Yami's fist connected with Bakura's jaw.
"Bakura!" Malik cried, as Bakura rammed into a shelf of flour. One of the bags tipped over, whitening Bakura and Malik.
Instead of fighting back however, Bakura smirked. "So, it's little Yuugi then? How sweet," he said mockingly.
"You stay away from him," Yami hissed, his voice dangerously low.
"Whatever you say, Pharaoh," Bakura laughed,
Yami walked away, Bakura's laughter behind him.
Yami sighed. Why did he do that? He wondered, putting th rice in the cart and leaving the isle.
He loved Mahado, not Yuugi. He had loved Mahado with all his heart. He just didn't want it to leak out. He laughed. What would the villagers think if they knew they had a gay Pharaoh?
They said true love came once in a millennia. It had been five.
