Chapter Eighteen
Night had fallen, and the day of school crawled by the like hours upon hours. Yami and Yugi both thought hard enough so that they didn't talk to anyone, and Tea was getting worried. "Yami." her voice small but firm. Her blue eyes sparkling, she looked into the hard ones of Yami. His crimson orbs showing strain to see what the two boys where up to. "I'm really worried about you."
He looked up at her. "What about me?"
"This relationship with Yugi has really strained you, and this really isn't working with Bakura." she explained as they entered the dark game shop. Yugi had gone with Tristan to the game room.
A sigh escaped his lips before they both walked to his room. The cold dark room making the hairs on their necks stand on one end. "Is there anyway to turn on the lights?" she asked, scooting closer to Yami. His presence comforting her fearful outcome of the hallway. Creaking like crazy, the wooden beams under the shoes were hard. Yami still did not say anything.
"Yami." she grabbed his hand harshly and turned her face towards his, making him stare at her. "Talk to me."
"Fine." he spoke, flicking on a light switch in his room. It's sudden illumination blinding them. "You don't have to worry about with me and Yugi. Everything is fine."
Tea blushed. "Is.... how... er.."
"What?"
"How does it feel like, to date Yugi?" she stammered.
Yami chuckled softly, sitting on the bed as Tea grabbed a chair. Turning it around, she sat the chair backwards before sitting down. Her long arms stretched over the wooden back. "It's everything I could ever look for in a relationship."
"Really? Does it feel any different?"
After a minute, Yami nodded. "Your lips tingle a lot, and everything disappears when you kiss him. It's like holding everything you have ever desired into one being."
Tea sighed. "Sounds weird."
"It is, at first I was so shocked." the boy laughed again. "Now I'm very content."
Blowing a few brown strands of hair from her face, she nodded. "I guess that's what it fees like to be truly in love."
"I suppose." he smirked. "But I do love Yugi, and I don't care who thinks other wise."
Tea nodded. "I fully agree, you should be happy."
"Other people don't think so." Yami's face growing concerned again. "Why would Kiaba and Bakura want me to go on a date with Natalie? I mean, she's can't be in this."
"Don't think about that." she spoke up. "Please? It hurts when everything you think about will lead you father into doubt. Live life the way it is, Yami. Stick your thoughts on happier things. Like Yugi."
The boy took in what she said with a nod. "I do love Yugi, and if they ever get between us..." he trailed off but his hands turned into fists. Tea suddenly stood up and embraced him. Her arms crossing at his neck. The boy was surprised at this.
"Nobody will, you love him too much for that to happen. Just listen to me." she replied, letting go of him.
Yami smiled. "Your right, Tea."

"So Tristan, wanna head home?" Yugi replied, obviously more happier than he was that day.
His brown haired friend nodded. "Yeah, all this game noise is giving me a headache." he replied with a silly grin. "Oh, and I won you this." he pulled out a stuffed Dark Magician doll from behind his back. Yugi gave him a curious glance.
"Thank you, even though I prefer action figures instead of dolls." Yugi laughed. "But anyways, thanks."
Tristan smiled. "Don't mention it. Have you heard about Joey?"
"No," Yugi replied. His mind raced back at the day when he and Yami were walking to the arcade. They had seen Joey and Seto together. He hadn't told anyone, and he was sure Yami wouldn't either.
"He's all sulking in his room. We were gonna go play some hoops at the school, but he refused to go. Joey likes basketball....except when I beat him." both boys looked down. Yugi didn't know if he should tell, Tristan didn't know anything about his friend.
"Well, let's go home and we can visit his house tomorrow, before school." Yugi replied. Tristan nodded.
"Your right, well, I better split. Will you be alright going home by yourself?" he asked the smaller boy.
"Yeah. See ya." Yugi waved before they both walked their separate ways. 'Wait a second.' Yugi thought turning around. 'I can go to Joey's house tonight.'
