Hope is Forever Chapter 9, It's Beautiful...
NSUD: Taste some of my fruits of boredom...here you go.

Sephy: Ack! Gag! What's in this fruit?

NSUD: The results of being bored, and the next chapter...
Yugi had no idea what was going on. He was just suddenly swept off his feet by Yami, of course, he didn't really mind, it was just unexpected. Yami carried him up the stairs and into a dim attic. Yugi thought that that was Yami's destination, but no, Yami kept going to a large window, which he nudged open with his foot, revealing a slightly slanted roof.

Yugi was set down on a section that was more level than others, facing west. "Uh...Yami... what are we doing up here?" he asked as Yami sat down next to him.

Yami smiled mysteriously and answered equally as enigmatically, "Just wait, and look out there." He gestured towards the horizon where the city was spread out before them.

"What am I supposed to be-" Yugi started to say, but gasped as he saw one of the most beautiful sights in his life. The sun must have gotten to the perfect spot in the atmosphere, because it suddenly lit up the horizon in hues of gold and scarlet. It relfected it's multicolored rays on people's sattelite dishes and solar panels on their roofs, as well as backyard swimming pools and puddles left scattered on the ground from a recent rainfall. All the swimming pinks, oranges, and purples in the sky and on the ground made up the most amazing nature display Yugi had ever layed eyes on. He was speechless.

Yami turned to Yugi and smiled. Yugi could only imagine what Yami had to do to not laugh, because he was sure that the look of awe on his face was probably silly. "Like it?" Yami asked.

"It's beautiful..." Yugi replied. It was all he could say.

Then Yami said something that made Yugi's heart pound and he blushed. "Just being by you and looking at you is even better than all of that." Yami gestured at the sunset, which had begun to get darker, with more variations of purple and some pink and less of the orange. Not that it was any less spectacular than before, it just seemed to have a different feel. A feel of serene emotion, that made you think. Not about anything in particular, just thinking for the joy of being able to.

Well, Yugi would have been able to think, if his eyes were'nt pulled into Yami's own and his mind pooled into a flowing river with no coherency whatsoever. It was because of this state of mind, that it didn't register for a while that Yami was kissing him.

Yami pulled away with a worried smile. Yugi could tell Yami was wondering if it was too much, so he reassured him with a soft smile. There didn't seem to be anything to say. At least, nothing came to Yugi's befuddled mind.

"Yugi, I love you." Yami said softly, as if he was still afraid that Yugi would reject him.

Finally, something Yugi could answer to, "I know, Yami, and I love you too."

Yami put an arm around Yugi's waist, and looked up at the sky that had grown to the navy blue and black of night, with a few stars twinkling their soft light around a sliver of moon, shining brightly even though it was nothing more of a hint of it's full potential. Yugi leaned his head on Yami's shoulder. It just felt so right sitting there with Yami's arm protectivly around him, as if nothing in the world could hurt him. He gazed up at the sky as well, the flickering stars reflecting in his bright, content eyes.
NSUD: Well...that wasn't near as long as I meant it to be, but it got the point across, no?

Sephy: Can someone please stop her? All this sweet romantic stuff is giving me a headache, not to mention the fact that I'm going to need a barf bag soon...

NSUD: Hey, that's not very nice...I was feeling very proud of myself for having so much fun with descriptive words.... It set the mood so well...not to mention it transferred what would have been only about six twenty-word paragraphs into 12 much longer ones. Well, I hope if you liked this fruit of boredom, you'll tell me in a review. If you didn't like it, well... review anyway and tell me what I need to change.
