Chapter Fourteen
The next week of school went by quickly, almost immediately. During that week, the captain of the two look alike's track team announced that a tournament was coming up and that he'd chosen Yuugi to be the one to represent them. The young one's face had turned as red as a tomato when it was announced. The tournament was going to be held next week at their school. Their captain had, unfortunately, volunteered their school to host the tournament.
Yami's mother made up with him and the two were getting along very well. Sometimes, she'd stop by the game shop and visit, checking to make sure the elder was eating all his the needed minerals, vitamins, and nutrients. Stay healthy and eat well, she kept reminding the two. Yuugi smiled at the memory and brushed a stray bang away from his face.
He sighed happily as he finished organizing yet another box of games. His grandfather had ordered more games, mostly the new card game that was becoming a craze within Japan. Duel Monsters was what the game was called. Yuugi had been captured by the beauty of the game but he was too busy with school, work, and Yami to have time for it. Turning around, he watched his boyfriend go through the list of things that they had ordered, making sure everything arrived safely. Yami looked up, catching his smaller version's eyes. He smiled, returning back to his work shortly after.
Yuugi sighed, dejectedly. The weekend was boring and Yami rarely ever talked, even if the most he ever talked was when he was around Yuugi. The little one took off his apron, heading to the back of the store. He sat on one of the crates out back, pulling his knees close to his face so that he could rest on them. Letting out a tired yawn, he snuggled closer to himself.
Sakura and Maru had gotten out of the hospital three days ago and everything was back to normal. Yami started to open up again, now talking more to other people at school beside himself. He felt sad, sorry, and ashamed of himself for wanting Yami all to himself. The elder deserved to have friends just like everybody else. Deep inside his heart, he just hoped that Yami would never leave him. He knew he was being selfish but he was only human. Yuugi closed his eyes, beckoning sleep to come and take him away.
"Yes, I'm fine mother. Yuugi's fine too, he's sleeping. Oh.. okay. Bye."
When the amethyst eyed teen woke up, he wasn't on the crate any longer, but in the comfort of his room. It was Yami's room too, to be exact. He sat up slowly on the bed, shaking his head to wash the sleepiness away. He stopped when two arms encircled him from behind. Gasping softly, his vision was blocked by the two hands clasped gently before his eyes.
"I've got a surprise for you," a voice whispered. He recognized the voice. It had to be Yami, it just had to be.
Yuugi nodded, feeling one of the hands leaving and the other sliding across his face to keep his eyes covered still. The hand that strayed away found its way to his hand. The 'mystery' person helped him to stand up, leading him to who knows where. When they stopped moving, Yuugi knew they were still inside his room.
"Don't open your eyes until I say so," the voice said. Yuugi nodded. He felt the hands leave his face, and his hand. "Open them."
Trying his best to hold back his shock, Yuugi put a hand on his lips, silencing his gasp. It was remarkable. Beautiful. His hand found its way to the canvas, trailing across the beautiful colors and details. Just marvelous. He turned around to see his boyfriend, eyes shining with tears.
"Did you paint this, Yami?" The elder nodded, a smile on his face. Yuugi smiled, closing his eyes to inhale his lover's scent as he rested on his shoulder. "It's wonderful. Yuugi can't... Yuugi doesn't know what to say..."
"Just say you'll go on another date with me tomorrow," the elder put his arms around Yuugi's waist, pulling them closer.
"Okay."
The two began to make their way downstairs to the kitchen after hearing Sugoroku calling them for dinner. Yuugi pulled away, taking Yami's hand, and leading them away from where the painting lay.
From outside the window, the sun was going down, giving the painting and almost unrealistic glow. The painting held a picture of the seventeen year old Yami with the seventeen year old Yuugi in his lap. Beside them lay the puzzle from when they had been but five, Yami no Yuugi written across its many pieces. The two look alikes in the picture looked at sun that slowly faded, smiling and shining with happiness.
