'Here For You'
~*~ Hi! I'm back with the fifth chapter. Before I start the next chapter I would like to thank all of the reviews I've been getting. Hope you all enjoy the next part of the story.
Chapter five: A problem to discuss
"Okay, are we all ready to go guys?" Tea asked the next morning in front of Yugi's house.
"Yep!" everyone else said.
"Great! Let's go."
Yami, Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Duke, Mai, and Serenity all walked to movie theater for about 10 minutes and then finally got there.
"So which one are we goin' to see?" Joey asked as they all walked up in front of it.
"Let's see that one!" Tristan pointed out.
"No! Let's see this one," Duke called out.
"Well, I want to see this one you guys," Joey said.
"We're going to see this one because it has action!" Tristan told them.
"No, we're going to see this one because it has horror!" Duke said back.
"No, you're both wrong! We're going to see this one because it has adventure," Joey said.
"Guys...they'll never learn..." Mai said in a bored voice.
"You're tellin' me," Tea and Serenity said.
Yami, Yugi, Tea, Mai, and Serenity just watched as the others bickered and fought over watch movie to see.
"Guys! How about we see one with romance?" Tea asked.
"Yeah!" Serenity agreed.
"NO!!!" Joey, Tristan, and Duke yelled back to them. Then they continued to argue.
"Why don't we see that one over there?" Yugi pointed out to a movie with mystery in it.
Joey thought about it for a moment then told him, "I guess we could see dat one. What ya guys think about it?" Joey asked Tristan and Duke.
"Yeah, I guess it's okay with me," Tristan and Duke told him.
Tea smiled at Yugi. "Good call, Yugi. You should stop fights more often."
Yugi blushed. "Thanks, Tea."
Then Tea, Mai, and Serenity went to go and get the tickets.
Joey and the other guys followed them. Which only left Yami and Yugi behind for the moment.
Yugi went off daydreaming about something (A.N. I wonder what he's thinking about...). While Yami started to get a little mad.
'How did he...? Ra, I hate when that happens! Why do others always have to go and do that around Tea so much?! I'm the one that loves her.'
"Yugi? Yami? Are you guys coming or what?" Mai asked.
"Yeah, we're coming," Yugi replied back.
"Come on, Yami. We don't want to be late for the movie," Yugi said then ran to catch up with the rest of the group.
"Coming," Yami said quiet and bored voice.
*********
Inside the movie theater Tea sat in between Yugi and Yami. (A.N. God, I would love to be Tea right now!) Serenity sat in between Duke and Tristan. And Joey and Mai sat at the end of the row.
"Tea, do you think I'm going to like this movie?" Yami asked her a few minutes before it came on.
"Yes, I'm sure you're going to love it," Tea assured him.
Yami smiled. "Good."
During the middle of the movie Tea just happened to run out of popcorn that she had been sharing with Yami.
"Oh, man! We ran out of popcorn," Tea whispered.
Yami was about to say something when Yugi cut in.
"Here, Tea, you can share with me, if you want to," Yugi said in a sweet voice.
Tea smiled at him. "Oh, thanks Yugi! That's so sweet of you." Then she gave him a hug.
Yugi and Tea started to watch the movie again while Yugi's smile had grown quite big. The both of them sharing popcorn and smiling at each other whenever they caught each other's eye.
About 20 minutes before they movie ended Yami caught Yugi slowly reaching his hand out to touch Tea's. Yami was about to yell at him for even thinking to try and do that when then Tea turned around to get some popcorn, which stopped Yugi from what he was doing.
By the time the movie had reached its ending Yami couldn't keep his eyes off of Tea and Yugi. For some reason Yugi seemed to blush and smile brightly whenever she looked at him.
'Something about all of this seems very familiar...' Yami said to himself.
*********
"Wasn't that a great movie you guys?" Duke said once everyone got outside the movie theater.
"Yeah. I thought it was really good," Yugi said.
'That's a lie. I bet you weren't even watching the movie, Yugi. You were watching Tea so much that we could have seen the movie again with how long you were keeping your eyes on her,' Yami said angrily in his mind.
"How about we all go for a slice of pizza next?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah!" Duke immediately agreed.
Tea laughed. "You boys and your stomachs."
"Uhhh...I can't go guys. I'm supposed to go straight home after the movie. That's what Grandpa told me," Yugi told them.
"Then I guess we better not go," Tea said.
"Awww...why not?" Joey asked in complaint. Tea, Mai, and Serenity all shot looks at him.
"Because it wouldn't be fair to Yugi. That's why!" Tea told him.
Yugi looked up at her. "Thanks, Tea."
Tea looked down at him and smiled. "It's no problem, Yugi."
"All right then. You win," Joey said. "We won't go and get pizza then."
"I better get going guys. Yami, are you coming?" said Yugi.
"Don't worry, Yugi. Yami and I are both coming. We'll be right behind you," Tea told him.
"Okay. I'll see you both at the house. Check you all later guys!" Yugi said the rest of them as he ran off to house.
Tea and Yami stayed behind a few more minutes to say their good-byes then left the rest of the group.
They walked home in silence for the most part.
"Tea, can I ask you something?" he asked as they were walked.
"Sure, Yami. What is it?"
"Didn't you notice the way Yugi was acting around you today at the movie theater?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
"No. What was he doing?"
"Tea, he couldn't keep his eyes off of you during the movie."
"What? Oh, come on, Yami. I'm sure you're just overacting."
"I'm serious, Tea. I know what I saw and I saw that he couldn't keep his eyes off of you. He was practically drooling over you. At one point he almost put his hand on yours."
"Yami..."
"Tea, I need to ask you something else and I want the truth. What did Yugi say to you yesterday afternoon?"
Tea immediately froze. A flood of images went through her mind as she started to turn pale in the face.
"What did you just ask me?" she said with an extremely worried voice.
"You heard what I said," he answered, as his voice was becoming more serious every time he spoke. "I can tell by the way to reacted to what I said."
"I..." she began to say.
"Yes."
"I can't tell you what happened yesterday. I told myself I wouldn't say a word until I figured it out on my own."
Yami walked right in front of her. Staring straight into her eyes.
"Tea...what did he say to you?" he asked a low voice.
Tea turned away. "I told you that I can't tell you, Yami and I'm still not going to."
Then she walked past him and started to walk down the street again, towards Yugi's house.
Though, what Yami said next soon stopped her.
"I have reasons to believe that he loves you, Tea, and if he does I want to know how you feel about that."
She stopped. Looking down with her face saddening.
"That's why I can't tell you what happened yesterday. I fear that you might get angry with Yugi and I don't want you to do that no matter what. Yugi's my best friend and I can't see him get hurt."
"No matter how I feel about the situation?" he asked, walking over to her.
"Yami...I don't think I should tell you because I know you and I know that you will get mad."
"How do you know? You haven't even told me what it is yet."
Tea turned around to him and said in a soft and low voice, "Because I just know."
Yami touched and eventually stroked her cheek that ran up into her hair. His eyes became soft looking and almost innocent. "Please, tell me. I really want to know."
"Why?" she asked in whisper.
"Because I can see through your eyes that it's tearing you apart."
She closed her eyes and started to speak. "Fine, I'll tell you..." Then she reopened them. "Yesterday I was going to speak with Yugi about coming with us to the movies today, but when I got to his room I couldn't see him. Though, as I walked into his room he scared me, from behind, for a little fun."
"Okay..."
"After I calmed down I asked him about coming with all of us and he said that he would come as long as it was okay with his grandpa." Tea started to get really nervous with her story. "I...I, at the moment, got really excited for him to come along with us and I said that he was the greatest, to show that I was excited, but when he said agreed with me he sounded little serious. Well, more than a little serious. I asked him if he meant what he said was true and Yugi said yes. He gently took my hand and then stroked it with his thumb."
Yami was starting to get uncomfortable now.
"I was really starting to get confused and worried with the way Yugi was acting around me by then and I wanted so badly to get out of his room, but I knew that I couldn't, at least not yet. Then he said that he wanted to talk to me about something and my worries got bigger, but I still remained calm around him. I asked if we should sit down so he could ask his question and he said that was okay. After we sat down on his bed he went straight into his question and I'll never forget what he said to me....."
"What did he say to you?" Yami asked quietly.
Tea took a moment to say it, but she finally did. "His exact words were 'Tea, have you ever felt so strongly for a person that you couldn't describe your feelings to that person?'"
Yami could only stare at her for moments. "He said that?" He finally got out.
Tea slowly nodded her head. "He did."
"And you believe that what he said to you was for you?"
"See, that's the thing, Yami. I don't know. That's why I didn't want to tell you before talking to Yugi about it first."
"And how do you feel about him?"
Tea seemed surprised that he would ask that, but decided to answer anyway.
"Well...Yugi is the closest friend and the longest friend I've ever had. I care about him so much and I have for as long as I could remember."
"Long enough to love him as much as you love me?"
Tea looked at him. "Never, Yami. I have never ever loved anyone as much as I love you. You mean the world to me. Don't you know that by now?"
Yami touched her cheek. "I'm so glad to hear you say that, Tea. You mean the same to me. I love you so much."
She smiled at him. "I know you do. You wouldn't have come to future to see me if you didn't love me and right now I'm so glad that you did come."
Then Tea wrapped her arms around his neck and snuggled against his upper chest and neck. She closed her eyes and breathed heavily.
Yami put his arms around her waist and laid his head on hers. He closed his eyes as well and said, "I'll always love you, Tea. I'll always will..."
~*~ Awww...Wasn't that the sweetest thing you ever heard? Okay, I'll stop now. I'm sure you've all heard of sweeter things, but I do try to make it sweet. The Yami/Tea/Yugi love triangle situation will continue in the next chapter. I just want to let all of you reviewers to know that. I hope that this was a good chapter and I'll talk to you all soon.
Please review!
