Project Duo
Yami's POV
It's quiet. I heard Futari leave a minute ago... oh well. At least I'm alone.
I never thought it was possible... I'm in love. An image of Yugi - my Yugi - fills my mind. Smiling to myself in the darkness, I roll over and huddle up in the blankets.
A light struck my eyelids. I screw my eyes up tight, not wishing to be awake yet.
"Yami-san?" a quiet voice asks. It sounds like Futari... "Are you awake? Futari is talking with Oni; I thought I would come see you." Well, questions answered. It's Yugi. "But if you're asleep..." I hear him turn to go.
"Wait." I said, sitting up and opening my eyes. Yugi turned back to me with a smile. He closed the door, and sat on Futari's bed. "You... you really want to talk to me?" I said unsurely. He gave a reassuring nod. "About Yugi." Obviously not himself; he means Futari. "You really like him, don't you?" he asks gently. I can feel my face growing red; he can see it too, the light was from the lamp by the door. I look at the floor sheepishly. "Trust your heart, Yami." he said. "The feelings are in Yugi's heart too." I look up at him. "How long have you known?" I ask. He grins. "Since you got here; when you were so concerned that he was alright, you didn't worry about where you were, or why you were there." he explains. "It's obvious; Oni noticed it too. When it's the right time for you, you will be able to show your feelings." I nod.
"Why are you up so early?" I ask, changing the subject. "Oni hardly sleeps anymore." he says by way of answer. "I find it hard to if he doesn't." "Why doesn't he sleep?" I ask quickly, hoping I don't land on a sensitive subject. "Well..." Yugi begins. "You can see he's different from you. The change took place after he awoke during the night a while ago; the memory stands clear in his mind. You can't imagine the fear in his eyes as he looked at me. Now he's almost scared to sleep." "Oh." I feel a bit puzzled.
"I've got to go. I have security duty this morning. See you later." He gets up and leaves, turning off the lamp as he goes. Sighing, I turn over, and go back to sleep.

Futari's POV

Oni says he has to go. Quietly, I say I'll see him later, and go back to my room. Aww... Yami's still asleep! Well, I just kick my shoes off, and climb silently back into bed, humming a little tune that always puts me to sleep.
The gradually coldening thoughts
No matter how I am unable to deny them
But a change to fall in love isn't a bad idea
Not worrying, not panicking
Praying faithfully
As if flowers will inside the heart
Just take my heart...
I doze lightly before completely falling asleep.

I hear Futari enter, and get into bed. Then I hear his little song. In a few seconds, he will be asleep. That's when I choose to sit up, and quietly sing the next verse for that song.
A yell of thirst
As if piercing the depression-filled heart
I want to invite you to see this world with me
Inside dreams are answers which no one else have
I pause for a second.
You can trust me,
Just take my heart
This journey continues...
I wonder if he hears?
