'Thoughts'
/Yugi to Yami/
[Yami to Yugi]
I should of said this in the first chapter. Bakura and Marik and even Seto are nice in this fic. There are pairings in this chapter: Y/Y (but they don't know this yet) B/R M/M S/J
Chapter 4
The next morning, Yami was the first to wake up. He realized he was now lying down on the bed, he tried to get up but he noticed a weight on his chest. He looked down and saw Yugi snuggled up against him with his head using Yami's chest as a pillow. Yugi still had two small fistfuls of Yami's shirt in his hands. Yami smiled down at his little light. Yami glanced at the door when he heard it opening, he sat up carefully placing Yugi in his lap wrapping his arms securely around him. Yugi's head was resting on Yami's shoulder and he wrapped his arms around Yami snuggling closer again. Yugi's doctor walked in and smiled at the scene.
"I just have to check his vital signs real quick, if he is still doing okay I will be releasing him by the middle of the week or the end of the week." The doctor explained.
"Do you want me to leave the room?" Yami asked.
"No," The doctor shook his head laughing, "Actually I don't think you could get up even if you wanted to."
Yami laughed softly with the doctor, "I guess your right."
The doctor walked over to the pair, and carefully loosened Yugi's hand which was once again clutching Yami's shirt. He checked Yugi's blood pressure and also took more blood to make sure Yugi was still doing alright. Yugi started to stir as he felt the needle go into his arm. He sleepily tried to pull his arm away from the doctor, but he just tightened his grip since he was not finished with his exam. Yugi then brought his other arm out from around Yami and started rubbing his eyes, as he slowly opened his eyes he looked up at Yami and smiled. Yami returned his smile. Then Yugi closed his eyes again and rested his head in the crook of Yami's neck.
/Yami?/ Yugi said sleepily.
[Yes, Yugi?] Yami asked.
/do you hate me?/ whispered Yugi.
[I could never hate you, why would you think that?] Yami replied.
/then why did you say those things about me?/ Yugi asked fearfully.
[I'm so sorry Aibou, I didn't mean any of that] Yami tightened his hold on Yugi, [ I was just mad at myself for not being there for you when you needed me.]
/you don't hate me?/ Yugi asked. Yami shook his head. Yami was about to respond to Yugi but the doctor interrupted his thoughts.
"Well Yugi, if these tests come up clean I will let you go home in two days." The doctor said.
Yugi lifted his head off Yami's shoulder and smiled at the doctor "Really?" Yugi asked hopefully.
"Yes, the only restriction is that you have to take it easy for a few weeks." The doctor replied.
"Thank you." Yugi said happily.
"Your welcome Yugi, now you should get some rest. I will come back after I finish my rounds." The doctor then turned to leave the room, "Yami could you come out here for a minute?"
"Sure" Yami answered. He gently lifted Yugi off his lap placed him back in the bed. He covered Yugi up and then followed the Doc in the hallway, "Be right back Hikari." Yugi nodded.
When they left the room the doctor was careful to quietly close the door, then he turned to Yami.
"Yami I called you out here because I needed to tell you something." the doc asked.
Yami looked at him confused, "Tell me what?"
"I don't know if you noticed that I never told Yugi about the heart meds," The doc started, "I know I should be used to telling people news like this, except in this case I think it might cause Yugi more harm than good right now. I just want to make sure that you will be there when I tell him."
"Of course I'll be there." Yami agreed.
"Since it's very important that Yugi stays calm, I'm afraid that this might be too much and you're the only one who can calm him down. He will need you there for support."
"I will always support him whenever he needs me." Yami stated.
"That's good to hear Yami," He replied relieved, "I will tell him tomorrow morning."
"Alright, I will be here with him." Yami said. Then Yami walked back into Yugi's room, he saw Yugi sitting on his bed almost falling asleep. Yami went over to the bed and sat next to Yugi.
Yugi opened his eyes sleepily and smiled at Yami, "Did you hear that Yami?" Yugi asked, "I get to go home in two days."
"Yes, Aibou" Yami replied, "That's very good news." Yami moved to the middle of the bed and placed Yugi in his lap. Yugi smiled again and rested his head on Yami's shoulder. Yami lay his head on top of Yugi's. They stayed like that for awhile, then Yami heard a yawn from Yugi. He looked down and saw that Yugi was falling asleep quickly.
"Do you want me to move so you can sleep?" Yami asked.
Yugi shook his head, "It's more comfy like this." Replied Yugi sleepily.
Yami smiled at him even though Yugi couldn't see him, then he wrapped his arms lovingly around Yugi.
'I could never hate you Yugi,' Yami thought, 'and that's because I love you, but I don't know how to tell you. I don't know if I can handle if you reject me.' Yami looked down at watched Yugi sleep.
'He looks like a little angel, I wish I knew wether or not you felt the same.' Yami was pulled from his thoughts by Yugi stirring. Yugi, in his sleep, wrapped his arms tighter around Yami and nuzzled deeper into his neck. Yami looked at Yugi lovingly and kissed the top of Yugi's head.
The next morning when they awoke, the doctor had good news. All Yugi's tests came back okay so that meant that Yugi was able to go home tomorrow. Yugi was very excited. Then in a more serious tone the doctor walked over to Yugi and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Yugi, I have something very important to tell you." He said to the small boy to get his attention.
Yugi looked at him worriedly and unconsciously moved closer to Yami and grabbed onto his hand squeezing it tightly.
Yami looked over at Yugi and squeezed his hand back encouragingly.
"I didn't want to tell you this before but you really need to know," The doc started, "You have a heart problem, but don't worry as long as you take your meds you'll be just fine."
"Heart problem?" Yugi asked worriedly, "I've never had one before."
"Well after your accident, you stopped breathing for too long and it affected your heart." The doc said sadly. "Now I'm afraid that you have to be on heart medication for the rest of your life. It's very important that you take them everyday, you cannot forget."
Yami could tell that Yugi was getting scared so he gently picked the small boy up and set him down in his lap. Yugi turned sideways and hid his face in his Yami's shirt while wrapping his arms tightly around Yami's waist. /Yami/ Yugi said softly /I'm scared/
[it's okay Yugi, I'll be here for you] Yami said reassuring.
The next morning Yugi was finally able to go home. Yami gently put Yugi in the wheelchair and, after signing the discharge papers, pushed him outside to the car. He lifted Yugi up and set him in the front seat securing his seatbelt. They didn't say much on the ride home so Yugi reached over and turned on the radio. He found a station he liked and started to softly sing along to the song. Yami looked over at him and smiled. He knew that Yugi was still nervous about what the doctor told him, but Yami reassured him that he would never leave Yugi's side.
When the game shop was finally in sight Yugi smiled at Yami, "I can't wait to get home." He said happily.
"That I believe," Yami remarked, "I bet it will feel great to finally sleep in your own bed again."
Yugi nodded his head. Yami parked the car and they both went inside the shop. As they went into the house part of the shop, Yugi noticed that the curtains were shut and it was dark inside. He looked at Yami with questioning eyes, Yami said nothing. He took Yugi's hand and led him into the living room.
When Yugi walked in, the lights suddenly came on and all his friends jumped up and yelled "SURPRISE! WELCOME HOME YUGI!"
Yugi jumped and grabbed onto Yami startled. When he realized it was his friends he laughed and ran up to them.
"Wow, thanks a lot guys." Yugi replied hugging his friends in thanks.
The friends sat around talking and laughing. Seto and Joey were sitting on the couch, Bakura and Ryou sitting with them, Marik and Malik were sitting on the love seat, and Yami was sitting in the chair with Yugi on his lap. They decided to watch "Return of the King"
"I have seen this movie so many times," Ryou stated, "These are Bakura's favorite movies because they involved a ring." Bakura glared his hikari pretending to be annoyed, while the others laughed. Yugi was having so much fun, he loved being around his friends. Especially his Yami. Yugi lay back against Yami and continued to watch the movie.
When the movie was over, Yami looked down and saw that Yugi was sound asleep on his lap. Yugi's head was resting in the crook of Yami's neck and his arms were loosely wrapped around Yami's middle. Yami smiled at him and gently picked Yugi up.
Bakura and Marik picked up their Hikari's and went home. Yami said good bye and carried Yugi to his room.
