Chapter Eight
"Yami..." sniffed Yuugi.
Yami dropped the knife, eyes wide. Yuugi had seen him? Yuugi had seen him?! Yami turned away, ashamed of himself. He waited for the sounds of Yuugi running away, waited for the reaction he expected from one so innocent. He waited and waited but still no sounds of Yuugi running away. Too busy concentrating on those sounds, he didn't notice that Yuugi had moved closer to him, to the point that their faces nearly touched.
"Yami?" Wide, innocent eyes peered questioningly at him.
Yami shook. No one had ever caught him red handed before. They had seen the scars several times but had assumed he got it from fights. He didn't know what to do, especially since it was Yuugi who had seen him.
"Yami... what were you doing...?" Yami tried not to look into those bright pools, but couldn't resist. "It's okay, Yami. You can tell me..."
Yami shook his head, wishing that Yuugi would disappear, like all the other imaginary people he had made up. Unfortunately, in his state of apprehension, he shoved Yuugi away. Bright amethyst eyes looked at his house mate, disbelievingly, from his position on the ground. Yami flinched. He hadn't meant to push Yuugi away and the look Yuugi was giving him...
"I-I'm s-sorry Yuugi... I-I d-didn't... m-mean to!" panicked the elder.
Yuugi stood up, head down, attempting to not look at Yami. Giggling, he went to hug Yami around the waist.
'W-what? Yuugi's hugging me? I don't...understand. It feels nice...'
"It's okay, Yami. You can tell Yuugi." !
Yami sighed, giving in to Yuugi. It was very hard to resist the small one. Carefully, he picked up Yuugi and placed him on his lap. Yami held him there, looking up at the smaller one, taking in ever detail of his Yuugi. Yuugi placed both of his hands on Yami's shoulders, afraid he might fall. Yami chuckled, happy that Yuugi still kept his infantile antics at the most serious times. Yuugi blinked and smiled, glad that his house mate was feeling better.
Warily, Yuugi took one of Yami's arm and held it in front of him, checking the wounds. They weren't that deep but they were bleeding. The young one frowned cutely and tried to clean the wound himself, not really knowing exactly what to do. Yami pulled his arm away, ignoring the protests from the younger one, and reached for the first aid kit near them. Expertly, he bandaged his self caused injuries, and put the kit back.
Yuugi looked down at the bandaged arm enviously. He wished he could bandage things as well as Yami did. Scowling, Yami used his good arm to pat Yuugi's back assuringly. Yuugi raised his head to ask Yami millions of questions. He was stopped by Yami's fingers as they brushed against his lips. Yuugi blushed, remembering the kiss he received earlier.
Feeling the calm air around them, he thought of how peculiar it was how the air changed in just a few minutes. The teen rested his head on Yami's shoulder, gaining more warmth. It felt really nice to be held by Yami, and very familiar. The feelings he got around Yami brought sleep closer to him. Yawning, Yuugi stretched a bit, and laid his head back on Yami's chest, forgetting about the wounds. Close to drifting off to sleep, Yuugi felt Yami move around and opened his eyes.
Wondering what in the world Yami was doing, Yuugi watched him. Yami was taking off his shirt. Yami was taking off his shirt?! Yuugi felt the blood rushing to his cheeks, yet again. Why in the world was Yami taking off his shirt, Yuugi did not know. His mind didn't stay on that thought for long, for soon it was replaced with amazement. Almost afraid that he'd hurt Yami with the slightest touch, Yuugi placed a finger on one of the scars that ran across Yami's chest.
Tracing it slowly, he felt heat inflame within him. Had Yami caused all those scars on his beautiful, tanned skin? Yuugi continued tracing scar after scar. There were so many scars. Yami's hand caught his, stopping all his previous actions. Yuugi looked away from the scars to look at his house mate. Smiling at Yuugi's curious expression Yami placed Yuugi on the bed, sitting beside him.
Yuugi watched Yami, blushing as he began to take of his pants. What could Yami possibly be doing?! Blinking, Yuugi stared at what was left. Yami was sitting beside him, with only boxers on. Yuugi tried his best to bring himself back to reality, realizing that more scars ran across Yami's legs.
Yuugi began to trace the scars again, starting for Yami's thigh all the way to his ankle. Once finished, he left his hand floating above one of the scars, shaking ever so slightly. Yami had so many scars, and if he tried to count it all, Yuugi didn't know if he could... could... even finish counting. Closing his eyes hesitantly, he let tears fall from his eyes hitting Yami's scarred flesh.
Tears kept falling and he couldn't stop. Yami felt sorry that Yuugi had to go through that and embraced his smaller version, letting him cry until he could cry no more. He regretted ever letting Yuugi see his scars, but the moment he saw Yuugi again, he felt a weight had been lifted. As if, he could tell someone, someone he could trust. Finally, after a long while, Yuugi began to quiet down.
"Yami... why does it hurt Yuugi to see you like this? Yuugi doesn't even know you. But, he feels like he's met you before. Yami, why can't Yuugi remember? Why?"
Yami pulled Yuugi closer to him, whispering words of comfort. It was like before, when Yuugi first appeared at the orphanage. Yuugi would cry and Yami would comfort him.
"I don't know why, Yuugi. But please... just remember me. Just... try to remember me."
'I want to remember, Yami. I want to. You feel important to me... I want to. I really want to...'
Yami soon joined Yuugi, both crying their hearts out. That day, Yami had smiled, cried, and been able to embrace Yuugi. Together, they held each other, both crying, not knowing why. Things just are. Sugoroko watched the two as they stopped crying after several minutes. He witnessed the whole thing, from Yami's work of art to Yuugi's inquiry. Quietly, he turned to leave, closing the door behind him, the image of the two hugging each other as they slept burning fresh in his mind. Perhaps, Yami was more than just a friend to Yuugi...
Along a dark corridor, Yuugi walked, searching, looking for... something. He stopped before a door, unwillingly reaching out of open it. There was something behind it, something waiting for him to open. Something. He hesitated, afraid of what he might find, when a hand was placed on his. Frantically, he turned around to see his Yami smiling at him.
"It'll be okay. I'll be here to help you," the elder rested his head on Yuugi's shoulder, loving the feel of his love.
Yuugi swallowed, slightly feeling better. With Yami's hand on his, together, they opened the door. Whatever it was that they would find, they were ready.
"It'll be okay..." were that last things Yuugi heard before he was engulfed by a white, blinding light.
