When Yami arrived at the game shop he thanked Ra that Yugi's grandpa was out at a gaming convention. If he saw Yugi like this, he might have a heart attack, and Yami didn't need any more disasters right now. Shutting the door with his foot, his eyes glanced about the store. A flicker of lightning illuminated the room only for a split second as Yami made his way to the back.
Opening the door to their real house, he shut that with his foot also. Yami crept into the living room and up the stairs, the rain hammering against the glass windows. The pharaoh entered the bathroom and sat Yugi on the floor, running to get dry and warm clothes for his light while disposing of the backpack. Coming back within seconds with pajama pants, a long sleeved navy blue shirt, and a pair of boxers.
Yanking a towel out of the wooden cabinet he started to dry the younger duelist. Upon reaching his boxers, Yami flushed and debated whether or not to take them off. Well… of course I have to if I want Yugi to be dry… Yami quickly removed Yugi's boxers and without looking anymore, dried him off swiftly, replacing the wet boxers with clean ones. Yami was, to say the least, embarrassed. But at least he got his partner in warm clothing.
The spirit put the rest of the garments of clothing on Yugi and picked him up for a second time, walking out of the bathroom as lightning flashed once more. Laying his aibou on his bed, he sighed. Yami snuck a quick kiss on Yugi's forehead, but was surprised when it was very hot. Feeling it with the back of his hand, he gasped. He has a fever… Great. Thank Ra for sarcasm.
[Lord knows I am…]
Yugi hadn't told Yami that much about curing the fever. Just to keep that person warm and feed them that soup… what was it again? Chicken noodle, or something. Gathering some blankets in a chest at the foot of Yugi's bed, Yami cocooned his light in the covers like a caterpillar going in the chrysalis stage.
[Ok, I just remember my mom 'cocooning' me in the covers when I was five. And a chrysalis is a butterfly in it's third stage. Sorry if I confused some of you, back to the story…]
Ok… he has to be warm in those blankets… Now to make some soup. Skulking out of the bedroom, he closed the door half way and went down the stairs as they groaned in response to the spirit's weight. God Yugi… what happened to you? Did you get… Yami gulped at what was about to be thought… raped? No… but the way he sounded when Yami reached for him…
"Please… No… Not the pain…"
It sounded as if the thugs had scarred more than just the boy's flesh. Yami's fist compressed together and he felt his teeth grind as if trying to stop from saying a curse word too loud. He made a sad exhaling noise as the spirit went into the kitchen, now having the free will to turn on the lights without Yugi in his arms.
Scrunching down he took out a chicken soup can from the drawer bellow and set off for a can opener, which was already on the counter. Without struggle the dark opened the can and poured the contents in a bowel and added hot water.
[I'm not really a gourmet cook here, and I don't eat chicken noodle soup that fancily. So the way I do it, I add hot water. If you have a problem with this… then you should probably just lighten up… O.o Forgive me if I was that offensive.]
Sticking it in the microwave he set it on a time and waited. He hoped he was doing this right, he wasn't exactly a high-quality cooker. Hearing a door open, he guessed Yugi was up. The groaning of the third step down… He knew this house too well. And… his light appeared.
"Yami… what are you doing?" Limping over to his darker half, he looked up at him questionably. "I'm making… soap." Yami didn't really want to remind Yugi of that 'incident', but he knew he had to talk about it with him. It wasn't a subject you could leave unaided. "Listen, you should really be in bed." Placing a hand on his light's shoulders, he guided him out of the kitchen. He'll talk about it with him later, Yugi just really need rest now.
"I had a dream… that I got… r-raped. Isn't that ridiculous!?" Yugi stuttered with embarrassment while letting out a fake laugh. Yami almost burst out into tears for him. So I was right… Oh Yugi… This poor boy… Yami knew his aibou was trying to convince himself and his Yami that this night wasn't real. "Hikari…" Yami turned the boy around to face him and held his breath.
[Have you ever claimed that something was a dream when you didn't want it to happen? Or am I just alone here…]
"Yugi… it wasn't a dream. It was real." Yami had to tell him the truth, he couldn't lie about this. It was serious and Yugi could really lose his sanity if he didn't talk about this with someone. "Yes… it was a dream, Yami…" The lighter of the two said quite vehemently. "Yugi, it isn't healthy to bottle up feelings inside of you."
"But you don't understand! It was a dream!" Yami could tell Yugi was on the verge of crying. This silliness had to stop. "Aibou… it was real! It's ok, I'm here for you now. You don't have to keep these feelings from others… I'll help you…" Yep, that did it. Yugi exploded and tears came trickling down his cheerless face.
Before his aibou fell to the ground, Yami caught him in his arms. The pain Yugi was feeling was overwhelming and he felt woozy again. "Come on, I made you some chicken noodle soup." Helping his light over to the table he went and got the soup out of the microwave. "Here…" He got a spoon out of a kitchen drawer and went over sitting by Yugi. Scooping some noodles out of the bowl he gestured for Yugi to open his mouth and he obliged, eating the tasty soup.
A few spoonfuls later, the food was all devoured and Yugi looked as tired as ever, although his fever improved a minute bit. Once again Yami picked up his light and headed to his bedroom, dropping him off on the soft mattress. Cocooning him in again, Yugi sighed closing his eyes all the way.
And as he drifted away to a dreamless sleep, he couldn't help but provide a small smile for his protector and think…
I'm not alone.
