Entry Three
All I could really do was look up at Yami in concern once in a while as we walked towards the school.
He only smiled down in response.
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yes. I recovered quite nicely last night and can hear again."
I chuckled as I latched onto his waist and nuzzled him playfully.
"I'm glad."
"Yugi..."
"Hm?"
"I was wondering...how about a picnic lunch on Sunday? Just you and me sitting by the pound in the park?" Yami asked with a smile and I nodded eagerly.
"Sounds great! I'd love too! But...don't you think we should invite the others?"
"..."
"Yami?"
"........"
(-_____-)
"I'll take that as a no."
"...well...I just wanted to catch up a bit since I was gone all summer doing jobs."
I smiled and squeezed his hand tightly.
"Okay, just the two of us, and nobody else."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The days flew by fast, and before I knew it, Yami and I were both holding hands, walking through Domino Park.
Yami carried the big picnic basket that I had brought, and I had the blanket tucked under my arm.
"This way, koi," Yami said and gently pulled me off the path and through some parted bushes to reveal the pond and grassy area.
We both agreed on a spot that was under a big sakura tree, and I spread out the blanket as Yami started unpacking the food.
I chuckled as Yami's eyes nearly bugged out of his sockets as he stared at all the food laid out.
"Koi, I don't think we need this much food," he teased, and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Better more then less," I said wisely and bust out laughing as Yami tackled me, tickling my sides.
"Okay, Yami! Stop!" I shouted while laughing, and finally got away from his grasp, panting. "Let's eat before the bugs get to it."
Yami agreed and we both dug in.
It turned out we only ate half of what I packed and left the rest inside the basket, tightly latched.
Yami stretched, yawning, while leanign back onto the sakura tree and patted his full stomach.
"I don't think I'll be able to eat for days," he said.
"Ha!" I laughed as I rolled up the blanket and stuffed it into the basket, before re-latching it. "That's what you say till you get hungry for dinner."
Yami snorted, and closed his eyes.
I smiled warmly as I watched him doze, and stretched myself, when an idea hit me.
I edged near the water and pulled off my shoes, then I chucked my shirt, before I jumped into the water and surfaced.
The water felt nice and cool upon my skin and I felt alive, more then ever.
I started splashing around, playing, swimming, and diving.
When I became tired, I paddled back to shore and quietly walked towards the now sleeping Yami.
I stood beside him, and smiled down at him, and decided I best let him sleep, so I turned, about to find a different spot to dry off in the sun, when hands suddenly grabbed around my waist, and pulled me down.
A yelp of surprise came from my throat, and my nerves were on edge.
But they soon calmed when my head was guided to a lap and fingers stroaked my wet hair.
"Yami," I complained while laughing. "I'm all wet."
"So? Doesn't matter to me. Wet or dry, I want you by my side."
I blushed, and closed my eyes as I snuggled down more into his lap.
'Yami.'
"Yugi?"
"Hm?"
"I have something for you."
I shifted my position so I could see him more clearly, and noticed how mysterious he was being.
"What?" I asked with a smile, turning over so the back of my head was now in his lap.
His left hand moved towards his pocket and what came out was a silver ring.
My eyes widened as I plucked the ring from his fingers and studied it even closer.
A heart was engraved upon it with the words 'koi' in the middle of it.
I slipped it upon my right hand's ring finger and smiled upon it as I held it up.
"Its beautiful Yami, thank you."
Yami leaned down and his soft lips brushed mine.
"I love you more then anything in this world, Yugi. And I'm afraid I can't express my happiness or love one hundred percent completely, but I can express it a little bit at a time till someday I can give you the untlimate proof on how much you mean to me."
"You make me feel so guilty," I sighed, and looked away. "You give me everything. And it seems like I give you nothing in return."
"That's not true, Yugi," Yami protested as he moved my face twoards him again. "All I ask in return, is for you to be there for me. For you to love me, and to be my side. That is all I ask."
Tears welled up in my eyes and I rose up, and hugged Yami tightly, and he hugged me back just as tightly.
"I love you so much Yami. And you've made me so happy."
"And you've done the same for me. Funny how things turned out after what it was like between us back long ago," Yami chuckled.
I smiled.
"Yes funny indeed," I agreed.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
The next day, Yami and I both met at the train station and talked silently, jeering at each other in some past situations, and laughed over stupid things we've ever fought about.
We were joined by our two other friends, Jou and Seto, who had both gone to the Tag Team Duelist Tornament.
"Seto, why is your voice so raspy?" I asked in concern when we were talking outside of the school.
Seto only chuckled.
"It's from yelling at the Dog so much at the tornament," Seto said with a grin and Jou scowled.
"I know," Jou muttered with irritation. "Do this do that, no you're doing it wrong you dog. Moran don't do that! Idiot!" Jou imitated in a high voice.
Seto bopped him on the head.
"Don't insult me monkey."
"See!"
Yami and I both laughed but our fun was quickly cut off as the bell rang, and had to depart.
Once we came into the classroom, we immediately sat down in our seats, and waited patiently for the Sensei to arrive.
As I waited, the memory of the picnic came to my mind, and I became lost in the blistful time, unconsiously rubbing the silver ring on my finger.
"Class!" Sensai suddenly shouted.
The shout nearly made me shout out, but I only jumped, blushing a little in embarrassment, hoping no one noticed.
"We have a new student that will be joining our class. Please welcome...Marik Ishtar."
I blinked as I saw a young blond haired boy enter the classroom.
He wore the uniform we all boys wore, and had tanned skin (like Yami) so I assumed he was from Africa or something.
His eyes were a light purple and he seemed friendly as he grinned at the class, especailly in the back.
'I wonder why?' I thought curiously and glanced back.
Jeolousy flared up within me when I realized he was mostly smiling at my Yami!
My teeth ground and forced myself to breath slowly to sooth my temper.
'Don't kill the new guy, don't kill the new guy, don't kill the new guy,' I chanted over and over into my head.
"Yugi Mutou!"
"Yes!" I shouted in surprise, and blushed as I heard laughter and the look my sensai gave me.
"Please be seated Ishtar-san," my sensai said dully and I stared at my desk as I heard Marik's footsteps approach me and heard the thud as he sat down.
"Now class turn your pages to 123."
"Are you related to Yami?"
I blinked in surprise and looked up to meet Marik's eyes.
They were filled with curiousity and innocence, but in the very back I could see something else but couldn't place it.
"No."
"Oh, do you know him?"
"Yes."
"Oh," he said simply and turned back to the bord.
I stared at him for a couple of seconds, before turning also and started listening to what the sensai had to say.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
When first break rolled around, I noticed Yami slowly rose from his seat and strode towards me, ignoring Marik completely.
"Hey Yugi, god I'm glad class is over, how about you?" he asked, but I noticed his eyes sometimes adverted towards Marik, who was staring at him with a frown.
"Uh...yeah...say Yami, this is Marik. I assume you know each other since he certaintly knows you," I said smoothly, curious to know about their relationship.
(I know it was selfish of me but come on! I'm a desperate homosexual boy who has finally found someone to love me! So sue me! Wait...I take that back, don't sue me. I'm trying to save up for a car.)
Yami seemed very uncomfortable but Marik answered for both of them.
"Well, Yami and I were friends back in Egypt, but moved without me knowing, and for some reason is not talking to me," Marik answered.
Yami went red in the face.
"What the fucken hell do you mean you have no idea!? I moved because of you dumbass!"
Marik frowned, but before he could retort back, Yami pulled me away from him and towards the other side of the class.
"Yami," I said gently, and winced as his grip became tight. "Yami, your hurting me."
He froze, and quick as lightning released me, and snatched my elbow, examing the red mark upon my wrist.
His eyes became sad, and looked away from me.
"I'm sorry."
"Its alright. But Yami...don't you think you should at least talk to Marik-san?" I asked quietly.
"No."
"But why?"
"Because he humiliated me, forced me to move to Japan. But..." he trailed of softly and smiled at me. "on the other hand...I wouldn't have met you."
I blushed but took his hand gently.
"Yami, I think you should talk to Marik. If you two were friends, then you two should stay friends."
"Yugi...you don't understand," he said darkly and my calmness snapped a bit.
"Well, how do I understand when you haven't even the sense to tell me!" I snapped, pulling away from him.
Yami became quiet before he dropped heavily in an empty desk.
"Marik and I were friends, good friends, but you see...I was homosexual back then too, and fell in love with him. I confessed my feelings to him, but he only laughed in my face and told the whole school about me. I couldn't live it down so moved when the Kaiba's offered hospitality."
I was quiet as I prosessed all this information, before I opened my mouth to speak.
"I still say you should talk to him. I mean...don't you think its kind of strange that he came to Japan and tries to offer friendship when he was a complete jerk to you long ago? And he says he doesn't have a clue why, which could be a further explanation of misunderstanding," I explained.
Yami blinked at me, before he smiled and placed a hand upon my head.
"You are wise beyond your years, koi."
I smiled and shook my head.
"I'm only stating the obvious. So, will you talk to him after school? You can speak to him in the hallway when deserted, and I'll meet you after, since I have cleaning duty after school."
"Okay, but only because you convinced me."
~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)
Yami continued to ignore Marik through out the next two periods, but finally went up to him at lunch, growling they needed to talk after school in the hall when it was empty.
Marik readily agreed, and I smiled.
Finally, after school, Yami and Marik were in the hallway, and I was sweeping the floor clean while Jou and Honda washed the windows.
'I hope Yami's going to be alright,' I thought and brought the silver ring to my lips.
A hollar from Jounouchi made me smile as he came towards me, dragging Honda along.
I winced at Honda's glare but kept my smile up.
"Done with the windows already?" I asked, and Jounouchi only shrugged.
"Of course! Honda and I make a good cleaning team!" Jounouchi said proudly, grinning widely.
Honda only snorted, refusing to look at me as his arms were folded tightly against his stomach.
"Wow, I wish I had that kind of talent with a partner. Then I wouldn't have to spend so many minutes just sweeping up the floor!" I said laughing.
Jou chuckled and ruffled my hair.
"Ah, we'll help, _right Honda_ ?"
"Yeah, what ever," he grumbled and both grapped a broom and started sweeping with me.
Crash!
I jumped from startlement, and felt faint as I realized the crash came from the hallway.
'Oh god! Have they gotten into a fight!' I thought with panic as I reached for the door. 'If Yami got hurt I would never forgive myself!'
I wrenched the door open, and what I saw made my insides go cold.
Malik was squashed up on the lockers, kissing Yami, hands in his hair, but the thing that made me go cold was that Yami was kissing him back, hands around Malik's waist, and holding him close.
"Oh my god," I whispered.
"Yami!" Jou shouted angrily, and both jumped and parted quickly.
After that, everything was numb.
"Yugi...I..." Yami tried explaining, flushed.
I held up a hand to stop any words, and forced a smile.
"No, no," I said while walking towards them. "I understand completely."
"Yugi please let me...!" Yami was about to say.
"Explain? There's nothing to explain," I said cheerfully, or at least tried too.
I took his hand in mind and held it tightly.
"I'm just glad you actually found someone to your intreast," I said, and slid away from Yami, turning slowly. "Hey, Jou, you mind if you and Honda finish up? I'll make it up to you, I promise."
"Ah, go on ahead Yug," Jou urged and I slowly started walking away.
Tears leaked from my eyes as I curled up my right hand, my ring finger bare.
~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)~~(*)
As I walked down the street, I heard running footsteps behind me, but did not turn around.
I knew who it was, and I knew what he wanted.
"Yugi!"
I slowed my pace, refusing to become one of those bimbos who ran away from the situation instead of facing it.
Yami stopped beside me, panting, looking at me with pained eyes.
"Yugi, please, I'm sorry."
"I told you Yami. I'm glad you found the one for you..."
"Shut up!" Yami shouted and I flinched in fear.
He grabbed my shoulders roughly and gave me two rough shakes.
"Yugi, I'm sorry! I don't know what happened, and...and...shit!" he swore as he turned away from me. "What am I saying? There's no excuse in what I've done. I'm just making up excuses which is making it worse, and it makes me feel even more guilty to see you acting so calm like this instead of bursting into tears like a normal person!"
"So I'm not normal!" I shouted. "Maybe because I'm trying to be strong for myself!"
Yami slowly turned around, and I grimaced as I saw tears trailing down his face.
I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it with a rough shake to my head and started walking towards the train station, with Yami walking silently behind me.
Once inside the train, I stood there, holding onto a pole, while Yami sat in a seat beside me.
We did not speak.
Suddenly, I felt hands encircling my waist, and tried jerking away but the grip held me fast.
I was pulled towards Yami, and then was sitting sideways in his lap, with his arms wrapped around me.
His face was buried in my neck, and I felt water as he cried.
I didn't know what to do.
I was confused, and numb at the same time, but finally, I just broke down and cried with him.
And we both cried together, in each others embrace.

Mijikai: Here's the deal, if I don't get writers block the next chapter should be up a little sooner then this one was. I hope you enjoyed it, though it was a bit sad, but as they say...the plot thickens!
Dun dun duuuuuun!

I'm just making up excuses which is making it worse, and it makes me feel even more guilty to see you acting so calm like this instead of bursting into tears like a normal person!"
"So I'm not normal!" I shouted. "Maybe because I'm trying to be strong for myself!"
Yami slowly turned around, and I grimaced as I saw tears trailing down his face.
I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it with a rough shake to my head and started walking towards the train station, with Yami walking silently behind me.
Once inside the train, I stood there, holding onto a pole, while Yami sat in a seat beside me.
We did not speak.
Suddenly, I felt hands encircling my waist, and tried jerking away but the grip held me fast.
I was pulled towards Yami, and then was sitting sideways in his lap, with his arms wrapped around me.
His face was buried in my neck, and I felt water as he cried.
I didn't know what to do.
I was confused, and numb at the same time, but finally, I just broke down and cried with him.
And we both cried together, in each others embrace.

Mijikai: Here's the deal, if I don't get writers block the next chapter should be up a little sooner then this one was. I hope you enjoyed it, though it was a bit sad, but as they say...the plot thickens!
Dun dun duuuuuun!
Yami/Yugi: Oo0
