Nightmare

Read it. And. Hi. And. Yeah. Review.

Round and round the merry-go-round Yugi went, laughing merrily with Joey, Tristan, Tea and Ryou.. Joey sat beside Yugi, a goofy grin across his face. Tea smiled and Tristan tried to hold on while Ryou smiled dazedly.Yugi was suddenly aware he was being watched. He turned in his seat and caught sight of Yami watching him from beside the ride. His arms were folded and he watched Yugi with a vacant expression. The ride sped up. Yugi's laughter stopped short as his friends disapeared. The ride grew faster still and Yugi couldn't hold on.

"Yami! Yami! Help me!", he shouted hopelessly, tears streaming down his face.

Yami just stared with those emotionless, cold crimson eyes

"Yami! Yami!", Yugi screamed in his sleep, his lithe body racked with sobs as he shouted Yami's name over and over again.

By this time, Yami was out of his soulroom and had his aibou gathered in his arms as he gently shook Yugi awake.

"I'm here, aibou. Its alright..", he said, holding him close to his chest as Yugi sobbed.

"Oh Yami, it was h-horrible..", he sniffled into Yamis chest,"You wouldn't help me, you didn't care.."

"It was just a dream", Yami whispered into Yugi's ear,"A nightmare. I'm here.."

Yugi's large violet eyes widened as he sat up, shaking.

"I'm s-sorry. I'm too old to be having silly nightmares", he muttered, glancing away from Yami, embarrassed.

Yami sighed inwardly, releasing Yugi. He walked to the open window, sitting on the ledge as he stared at the late night sky. Yugi sniffled from the bed. Minutes past and nothing was said between the two.

"I'll always be here for you, Yugi", Yami said suddenly, staring out the window.

Yugi opened his mouth to say something then shut it, afraid to ask. Yami sensed his uncertainity.

"Do you not believe me?"

Yugi coughed quietly, staring at his cloudy duvet as he mumbled something incoherant.

"Sorry? I didn't catch that, aibou", Yami replied to Yugi's mumbles.

"I said, what about when you remember your past? Then will you go?", Yugi asked, trembling as he tried to get ahold of himself. He couldn't break down in front of Yami. Not again.

"Yugi..", Yami began, turning around to face his aibou. He could tell his little hikari was close to tears.

'Do I mean that much to him?', he wondered. He smiled. Yugi felt warmth and happiness coming through Yami's side of the mind link and frowned. Did Yami think of Yugi as a burden? He looked up, staring blindly into Yami's direction, his vision blurred with tears just waiting to fall.

"Yugi..", Yami said again,"This is my destiny. I won't ever leave you. Ever. That is..unless you want me to go..". It was Yami's turn to frown as he turned back to the star-strewned sky.

"Don't ever leave me, Yami", Yugi whispered so softly, it was almost missed by Yami.

"I won't", Yami whispered back, his gaze settled on one particularly bright star and he made a wish.

:D! Review?
