Chapter: 8

Smoke

Yami was glad the rain was slowing.. it was hard to see. But even though the rain was pouring... he could still feel the tears that stained his face. He was crying. He was actually crying, for the first time since this had happened. Heh, he never thought he would do it.

Yami looked up into the sky and let the crystal drops fall into his eyes. "I wonder what Seto meant by making me feel like he does?..." Slowly, he started walking toward the park, needing to think.

"Yami! Yami?!" Yugi cried out his name as he scanned the area, desperate to find his friend in hopes to comfort him.

Squinting his eyes, he saw the faint image of a figure up ahead, running up to meet it.

'Huh? What's that?' Yami thought to himself, spinning around to see little Yugi running to him at full speed. With a push off the ground, Yugi leaped into Yami's chest and flung his arms around him.

Yami blinked a few times, making sure this was who he thought it was.

Yugi looked up, into Yami's eyes. He looked so sad, so helpless. 'By Ra, what have I done?' Yami thought, hugging the boy tighter.

He had realized that leaving the boy was not the best idea. He loved Yugi and the last thing he wanted to do was leave him. He never meant to cause his little Aibou pain... and that's exactly what he did. He always wanted to be there for him... and he just betrayed that...

Seto sat quietly in his room, reading a note that was left on his desk.

"Dear Big Brother, I got a call from Yugi saying you've been with YAMI! Why didn't you tell me you were GAY?! I went over Yugi's house for a while. I'm so ashamed.

-Mokuba"

Seto clenched his teeth so hard he thought they would crack. He ripped up the note and threw the papers everywhere, making flurries. Kaiba punched the desk and screamed his loudest scream.

His life was just falling apart in front of him.

"Now my little brother looks down upon me... no..."

And now, his only thought was how much he despised Yami.

Light and dark held each other as the rain slowed to drizzle, neither of them moving. Yami felt Yugi tremble from being cold, and in soaking clothes.

'What is this supposed to mean?' Yami thought, looking down at the top of his Aibou's head. 'Does Yugi share the same affection for me?'

"Yugi... come with me to the park. I think we have something important to talk about."

Yugi and his dark sat on a swing set in the playground. Yami lightly pushed Yugi on the swings and sighed a deep sigh, not knowing exactly what to say. He didn't want to just go all out and say that he loved him... he was sure that would scare him away. But to Yami's surprise, Yugi was the one who started to speak first.

"Yami... why didn't you tell me that you and Seto were together?"

Yami caught Yugi's swing and his mouth gaped open. How the hell was he supposed to answer that...?

A set of headlights go off in the parking lot of the Game store as Seto steps out of the driver's side. He sets the car alarm and walks to the front of the building calmly, ready to go in and give Yami what he asked for.

"Yami may have beaten me in Duel Monsters... but I swear to God he will not beat me in something else."
