/Yugi to Yami/
[Yami to Yugi]
Chapter 5
Yami awoke in the middle of the night to a sudden noise.
'Yugi!' Yami thought and he quickly got out of bed and ran to Yugi's room. When he opened the door, he saw Yugi crying and whimpering in his sleep. Yami quickly ran to him and sat on the edge of his bed. He gently shook Yugi's shoulder and he woke up immediately. He clung to Yami and was crying in his shirt. Yami lifted Yugi and placed him in his lap. He wrapped his arms securely around Yugi and he was whispering comforting words in his ear. When Yugi finally calmed down, Yami tilted Yugi's head up to look in his eyes. 'He looked so terrified.' Yami thought.
"What's wrong Yugi," He said quietly, "did you have a nightmare?" Yugi buried his head in Yami's chest and nodded yes, "I dreamed that you left me," Yugi whispered, "You said you hated me and you couldn't stand to be around a baby like me." Yugi started crying harder as the memories came back to him.
Yami tightened his grip on Yugi, "I would never leave you," Yami said seriously, "I could never hate you either," Yami paused, "I would never leave you because.... I love you." Yami held his breath while waiting for Yugi's response. Yugi was silent for a minute, then he raised his head off Yami's shoulder and gave him his biggest smile. Yami returned the smile. Yugi sat up and wrapped his arms tightly around Yami's neck.
"I love you too, Yami!" Yugi replied crying happily. Yami returned the embrace. They stayed like that, neither wanting it to end. Eventually, Yugi started to fall asleep. Yami didn't want to move him and risk waking Yugi, so he fell asleep happily with his little Hikari sleeping peacefully in his lap.
The next morning when Yami opened his eyes, he was confused on why his vision was being blocked. He raised his hand and went to rub his eyes when his hand came into contact with something soft. Confused even more, Yami raised his head and looked down. A smile came to his face when he saw his little Hikari sleeping on his lap with his head in the crook of Yami's neck. His amethyst eyes were closed in slumber while his mouth was slightly open and taking soft breaths. Yami sighed happily and wrapped his arms around Yugi and gave him a gentle hug.
Yami's peace and quiet didn't last as long as he would have liked because at that moment the phone rang. Yami shifted his position so as not to wake the slumbering Hikari, he reached over and clumsily grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" He whispered angrily, ready to strangle whoever disturbed his peaceful moment.
"Yami?" The voice asked uncertain.
"Ryou? Is something wrong?" Yami asked quickly.
"No, I was just wondering if you and Yugi wanted to go to the arcade with us later." Ryou replied.
Yami looked at the clock, and it was 8:00 in the morning. "I will ask Yugi when he wakes up, but why are you calling so early in the morning?"
"Sorry Yami," Ryou replied sheepishly, "I guess I didn't realize what time it was when I called."
"That's all right Ryou," Laughed Yami, "What time do you want to meet there?"
"Around 11:30." Said Ryou.
"Okay, I'll ask Aibou when he wakes up then I'll have him call you. How about that?" Yami questioned.
"Sounds great to me, Goodbye Yami."
"Goodbye Ryou." Yami replied then he hung up the phone. He slowly shifted back into his previous position. Yugi shifted slightly but still didn't awaken. Yami sighed and wrapped his arms around his Hikari again and fell back asleep. The next time Yami woke up, he felt someone staring at him. He lazily opened his eyes and saw a pair of amethyst eyes staring back at him. Yami loved his Hikari's eyes, so innocent and happy. He had puppy dog eyes that you could practically see into his soul with and yet at the same time they were curious and questioning about everything that was going on around him. Yami was pulled from his daydream upon hearing Yugi's soft laughter. Yami raised an eyebrow at the young light, then he was suddenly attacked into a huge bear hug with his Aibou's head resting on his shoulder and his arms tightly around his waist.
[What's so funny my light?] Yami asked curiously.
/The link was open, I heard what you were thinking/ The light replied. Yami blushed and returned the hug, when he felt in control again, he gently raised Yugi's head until their eyes met. He then leaned forward and placed a soft, gentle kiss on Yugi's lips and then pulled away. Yugi's smile grew and then he returned the kiss catching Yami off guard and causing him to fall out of the bed. Yugi laughed again as he tried to keep the former Pharaoh from falling, but Yugi didn't succeed and both of them ended up on the floor.
"Yami," Yugi said, "You should have seen your face."
Yugi laughed again and Yami tried to glare at him, but Yugi's laughter was contagious and Yami found himself laughing also. When they finally settled down again, Yami got up off the floor and held out a hand to help up Yugi. Yugi took the offered hand and once he was on his feet again, Yami remembers what Ryou had asked earlier.
"Aibou, Ryou called and wanted to know if you wanted to meet him at the arcade later this morning." Yami relayed the message.
"Yeah that sounds like fun," Yugi replied, "Are you coming with?" Yugi looked up at Yami with the best puppy dog eyes he could. Yami felt his heart melting. He could never say no to that look, Yugi knew it too and used it to his advantage. Yami sighed knowing that he lost the second he looked into Yugi's sparkling amethyst eyes. Yugi hugged Yami and then he ran out of the room to get ready.
/Thanks Yami/ Yugi said through the link while he got in the shower.
[Anytime Aibou] Replied Yami.
Yami was still laying on Yugi's bed when he returned from his shower.
"Yami you're not ready yet?" Yugi asked surprised. Yami jumped at the sudden voice and instantly relaxed when he saw who it was.
"I'm sorry Aibou. I must have fallen back asleep." Replied Yami sheepishly.
Yugi shook his head at the sleepy Yami and remarked, "Well if you're coming with you should hurry up and get ready. I'll call Ryou now and tell him we're leaving soon" Yugi laughed when Yami suddenly jumped up and raced to the bathroom with his clothes in hand.
Yami's POV
When I emerged from the shower, my nose was met with wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. I slowly made my way into the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe to see what my little light was doing. In the kitchen I saw my little Hikari standing by the stove cooking breakfast while singing softly to himself. I couldn't help but smile as I continued to watch him. I saw Yugi turned around when he felt my presence.
"About time you finished getting ready." Yugi commented jokingly, "I was about to come up and see if you fell asleep in the shower." Yugi said laughingly then turned his attention back to the food so it wouldn't burn. An idea struck me on how to get him back for this morning,. With a playful grin, so I slowly snuck up behind my Aibou ready to play attack him. Before I could do anything though, Yugi turned around with the hot pan in his small hands. He was startled to see me so close to him and he jumped, spilling the food onto his little hands and all over the floor. He screamed when the heat came in contact with his hands and started crying. I immediately picked Yugi up and carried him over to the sink. Then I quickly turned on the cold water and put Yugi's burnt hand under the cool stream of water. I wrapped my arms tightly around Yugi while he continued to cry. /it hurts Yami/ Yugi whimpered, /it really hurts/
[I'm so sorry, Aibou] I whispered, [I never meant for you to get hurt.]
Slowly the cool water helped numb the pain in Yugi's hand. I removed it from the water and examined it carefully. I started to feel really guilty when I looked at his hand. It was really red and I could see where blisters were starting to form. I gently picked up Yugi again and carried him up to the bathroom. Yugi buried his head in my shirt and was crying softly. I whispered comforting words in my precious Hikari's ear. When we reached the bathroom I gently put Yugi down on the toilet seat while I searched for something to help ease the pain of the burn. I found a bottle of aloe and some gauze. I went back to Yugi and gently grabbed his wrist to see his hand. Yugi whimpered and held me tightly. I gave him a sad smile and started to put on the aloe covering the entire burn, then I wrapped it in the gauze so the wound wouldn't get infected or dirty. I continued to hold Yugi until his crying had finally quieted down to soft hiccups, but he still refused to loosen his hold on me. His face was buried in my shirt and his arms were tightly around my waist.
After a few minutes, I gently raised his head until our eyes met and I softly asked, "Does you hand still hurt?"
Yugi slowly shook his head and whispered, "Not as bad as before." then he once again buried his face in my chest and he had my shirt clenched tightly in his small fingers.
"Do you still want to go to the arcade with your friends?" I asked softly. Without raising his head I felt him nod yes. I pick him up and carry him out of the bathroom and back downstairs into the kitchen. I gently pried his fingers lose from my shirt and set him down in the chair.
As I looked around the kitchen I felt even more guilty for what I had done to my Aibou. 'He really wanted us to have a nice breakfast' I thought to myself, 'and what do I do? I ruin it.' I saw in one pan Yugi had scrambled eggs and in another pan was sausage. I quickly cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, when that was done I looked at the clock and saw it was 10am. We still had time for a quick breakfast.
I kneeled down in front of Yugi and raised his head, "Do you want to go out for breakfast?" I asked quietly.
Yugi nodded his head sadly looking at his ruined breakfast in the sink. "Okay Yami," He whispered, "We can go out instead."
I held him close and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry I ruined your wonderful breakfast." I said sadly, then I thought to myself 'I'll make it up to you, I promise.'
Before we left I ran back into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and handed it to Yugi.
"I'll be right back Yugi." I said as I went back upstairs. I went into the bathroom and found the bottle with Yugi's meds in them. I grabbed one and headed back downstairs. I handed Yugi the pill and he swallowed it and drank the glass of water. "Thanks Yami." He replied smiling at me.
I returned the smile and replied, "Anytime Yugi, I will always take care of you."
I gave him a quick hug then I walked back into the kitchen to put the glass in the sink while Yugi put his shoes and jacket on.
When we were both ready, I gently took his unburned hand in mine and we headed down the street to the restaurant that was next to the arcade. We waited patiently for the waitress to seat us. Yugi refused to release my hand so I guided him to our table. I picked him up and gently set him down in the seat and handed him a menu. When the waitress returned we were ready to order. Yugi got sausage and eggs like he had cooked earlier and I got the same thing. We ate in silence and I occasionally would glance at him. I could still see the sad look in his eyes but I also saw that he was trying to put it behind him and have some fun. He looked up when he noticed me looking at him and gave me his best and biggest smile. I returned the smile and gently squeezed his hand.
"Why did you decide to make such a big breakfast, Aibou?" I asked curiously.
Yugi lowered his head again, "I was making a celebration breakfast," He whispered, "It was to celebrate that we admitted our love for each other." As he said that I felt the guilt rising in my heart for what I did, I smiled slightly when I saw him start to blush.
"Well how about I take you out to a nice restaurant for a special dinner to make up for what I did to your wonderful breakfast?" I asked.
"You don't have to Yami," He replied quietly, "its all right, really."
"Okay how about this instead," I thought quickly, "How about we invite the gang over, order pizza and watch movies all night?"
I watched as Yugi's eyes lit up with happiness. "That sounds like fun." Yugi replied excitedly.
"All right," I stated, "We will invite the gang when we get to the arcade, then after the arcade we'll go and pick out some movies and then order the pizza." Yugi nodded excitedly and went back to finishing his breakfast.
When we were finished eating I payed the waitress and we went next door to the arcade. As we entered I saw the gang sitting at our usual table. Joey and Seto were fighting as usual. Malik was sitting in Marik's lap and Marik was feeding him. Bakura had Ryou on his lap and they were sharing a milkshake together. Ryou notices us and waved to get our attention. Yugi released my hand and happily ran to join our friends. I slowly walked over to where our friends were, Bakura noticed my sad expression and got up from his seat and told Ryou that he would be right back. Ryou nodded and grabbed a chair for Yugi to set next to him. Once the Hikari's were talking together, Bakura grabbed my hand and led me in another direction. I quickly looked to where Yugi was and saw him chatting happily with his friends. When we were far enough away he sat me down at a table. "What's wrong with you?" He asked.
"Aibou and I finally admitted our feelings for each other." I started.
"Well isn't that good news?" Bakura asked confused.
"Yes it was great news," I replied, "but then I had to go and ruin it. We were playing around and I was going to get him back for something he did to me earlier."
"And?" Bakura said curiously, "Then what happened?"
"Well I got out of the shower and went into the kitchen where Yugi was making us breakfast." Yami sighed, "Anyway I accidently scared him and he burnt his hand really bad when the hot food spilt on him."
"Is he okay?" Bakura asked worriedly.
"Yeah, he's fine now. I decided to make up for it by taking him out for breakfast. I asked him why he made the breakfast. Do you know what his answer was?"
Bakura shook his head, I could tell that he was confused by the way I was acting.
I sighed again and said in a sad voice, "He wanted to make me a special break to celebrate us confessing our love."
Bakura was even more confused now, "so what's wrong with that?"
"Nothing is wrong with it, it just makes me feel worse that I not only ruin his wonderful breakfast I made him get a nasty burn on his hand."
"Well as long as he's okay," Bakura stopped and saw something in my eyes, "What are you planning?"
"Well since breakfast was ruined I decided to invite everyone over tonight to watch movies and eat pizza all night."
"That sounds like fun," Replied Bakura, "You can count on Ryou and me to be there."
"Thanks Bakura, we should get back before Aibou wonders where I went to." Bakura laughed and agreed with me.
End Yami's POV....at the table with Yugi and the others.
As Yugi got closer to the table, Ryou noticed the bandage on Yugi's hand.
"What happened to your hand?" Ryou asked concerned. Yugi lowered his head and replied, "I accidently burnt my self while cooking breakfast," Then Yugi raised his head and happily said, "I have great news, Yami and I admitted our love for each other last night."
Ryou happily got up from his seat and hugged the smaller Hikari.
"That's great news Yugi, I'm happy for you."
"Thanks Ryou," Yugi said, "Oh guys by the way were having a celebration party at my house. We're going to stay up all night watching movies and we're ordering pizza for dinner. Can you all come?" Yugi asked hopefully.
"Bakura and I will be there." Ryou confirmed.
"We'll come also." Answered Marik and Malik.
"You can count on us," Joey replied, "right Seto?"
Seto nodded, "yes we'll come to," Then Seto thought of something, "Hey Yugi instead of pizza why don't I just have a catering service prepare the food for us?"
Yugi looked up at Seto surprised, "are you sure it won't be too much trouble?" He asked sheepishly.
Seto laughed at his expression, "It won't be any trouble at all Yugi, anyway you and Yami are in love and that calls for a celebration."
Yugi jumped out of his chair and gave Seto a hug, "Thank you Seto," Yugi said happily. Seto returned the hug and replied, "Your very welcome Yugi."
Joey grinned at his boyfriend, "Your such a big softie Seto."
Seto mock glared at Joey, "Just don't let anyone else know that." The entire table started laughing. Yugi released his hold on Seto when he saw Bakura and Yami walking towards them. Yugi ran to Yami and practically knocked them both over. Yami had to steady himself.
"Slow down Yugi," Yami laughed, "what's going on?"
"Seto said he's bringing all the food," Yugi replied happily, "and everyone is coming."
Yami looked at Seto, who was playing with Joey's hair, and nodded his thanks to the billionaire. Seto waved the thanks away, "It's really no problem Yami, I'm happy to do it."
They stayed at the arcade for a few more hours.
Then Yami turned to Yugi, "Come one Yugi, lets go pick out the movies now."
Yugi nodded happily, "Yeah, lets go." Yami and Yugi waved goodbye to their friends and walked down the street to rent the movies.
