Chapter Thirteen
Yugi smiled happily as he and Yami walked to the arcade together. The air was thick and the smell of rain was caught in the air. A black umbrella laid to the side in Yami's hand. "Oh no look!" the younger boy yelled, pointing to a sign. It stated 'arcade is closed due to construction'.
The other chuckled. "Well, I guess we will have to come back when it's open."
"Yeah, but we can all this way for nothing!" Yugi sighed looking around. "Do you think anything else is open?"
"I'm sure something is." Yami said before seeing something shocking. Joey Wheeler and Seto Kiaba sitting in a booth together at Lowie's Domino Breakfast Diner. "Yugi, are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
Yugi nodded with a small giggle. "Well, I guess we aren't the only ones."
'This is great.' Yami thought, his crimson eyes looking around them. 'Bakura won't be able to make a deal to Kiaba just yet.'
"Yami?" his hikari called. The voice snapped him back into reality and looked towards Yugi. "Let's get going."
He nodded and turned around, back to the game shop. He noticed the uncommon silence stirring between him and his boyfriend. What did Yugi want from him? Was he doing everything right to do in a relationship? "Yugi, what's wrong?"
Yugi sighed. "You've been secretly avoiding me. I know you. You used to tell me everything, but now I just don't know if you are or not."
"Of course I'm telling you everything!" Yami said, surprised his little angel would think other wise.
"Then why did you mutter Bakura in your sleep?" his hikari challenged.
Yami instantly stopped. "Because, Bakura knows."
"Who is Bakura?" Yugi yelled back.
"He's Ryou's.... can we discuss this at the house?" he looked at Yugi. The other nodded with a sigh.
When they reached the Game Shop, and Yami was opening the door, he noticed the line of people wanting to get in. It wasn't necessarily a line but groups of teenagers stood around them like hawks. "Heh, I guess we've been avoiding the shop?" Yugi laughed.
Yami nodded in agreement before bending down to whisper. "I love you, you're my only one, just believe me." Yugi blushed before opening the game room doors, instantly teens ran into it.
Yami smiled at the customers and half the girls came swarming over to him again. Yugi tried to ignore the pang of jealousy surging through him and grabbing card boxes for everyone. He didn't have time to think very long of the girls as a big kid called Richard walked up. This was the boy everyone feared because he was the toughest bully. Not even Yami stands up to him that often. "Hey, I saw you yesterday making out with your little boy friend." he spat.
"W...what are you talking about?" Yugi asked as all eyes were fixed on them. A strong hand grabbed his collar from behind the counter and rose him up. Dozen's of kids tried to talk him out of it but he kept his brown eyes fixed on Yugi. He was extremely handsome for a bully, not to Yugi of course, but to most of the girls. His red hair was short and spiky with his muscles showing through a white undershirt, covered by a black vest.
With a smile, he rose Yugi's face to his. "You callin' me a liar?"
"N...no!!" Yugi yelled, his eyes watching a fist raised into the air. "Let me go!"
"Pushy are we? Well, I don't like rainbow goody goody guys in my town." he spat.
Yugi tried to kick frantically at him. "I'm not that way!" he lied.
"Drop him at once." a sharp tone sliced through the crowds as Yami walked up. His hands went white as his fist were tightened. No one picks on Yugi and lives.
Richard turned to see Yami's sharp crimson eyes glaring at him. With a shrug, he threw the poor boy into a wall. A sudden yelp came from him but other than that he seemed okay. "I don't like interferences." Richard told Yami.
"And I don't like nobody's accusing people of things they aren't in my store." he snapped back, his arms crossing across his chest. Everyone gasped at the come back.
The bully walked up to him, and he was three feet taller than Yami. "Oh really."
"Really." Yami never backed down.
Everyone looked at Richard to see what he might do and to nobody's shock, a fist shot out of him so fast that you heard the wind rush past your face. Yami stepped to the side and the hand hit air. "Why you little..." Richard yelled before grabbing the triangular hair of Yami and threw him into the same wall Yugi had hit. The blow was so hard that the racks rattled and some cards fell off. Luckily he went over the glass case.
"Leave him alone!" Yugi suddenly yelled jumping on the bully's neck.
Yami took his chance to grab hold of a metal bar used for holding up shelves and lunged at the man. With a loud smack, everyone gasped as Richard fell to the ground. Blood began to trickle from his nose. "Get out of this shop or I'll call the police." Yami said, dropping the bar behind the counter.
Richard took his warning and scrambled out of the game shop. Everyone cheered and Tea, Tristan and Joey appeared through the crowd. "That was great you two!!" Tea yelled over the yelling. Tristan flashed him a thumbs-up.
Yami walked over to Yugi who had a few scrapes on him. "Are you okay?" The younger boy nodded with a smile.
"That was so cool Yami!"
Yami smirked. "I won't be doing that again next time." he rose his hands and they were red from the weight of the bar. "I'll go back to clean myself up, can you manage a few minutes without me?"
Yugi nodded and went back to the glass counter for the customers. 'I guess my questions would have to wait.' he thought sadly.
