Chapter Three
Early sunrays woke Yugi up next morning. He yawned and stretched lazily before he stood up and blinked, to fight the flecks of colour, dancing in front of his eyes.
He was so tired.
"Get up, Yugi!", his grandpa called cheerfully and his footsteps could be heard bouncing through the house.
"How can someone be so happy at such an early time?", Yugi muttered to himself, rubbing his burning eyes. "That's impossible..."
He grabbed his school-uniform and stumbled into the bathroom to brush his teeth and shower. He put the toothpaste onto the brush and began, his eyelids dropping dangerously. He couldn't fall asleep now... school...
"Yugi, breakfast is ready!"
Now he was awake again. He grumbled, looking up to the small mirror in the bathroom.
'I'm certainly looking odd today.' He yawned. 'Are my eyes bloodshot or why are they so red...? wait... I'm dreaming...'
//Good morning, little Yugi.//
He nearly fainted. That couldn't be true. When he had been tired before, he was the complete opposite now. The crimson eyes in the mirror didn't belong to him. He bit down onto the toothbrush hard and stared wide-eyed at his look-alike behind the glass.
//You look tired.//
Yugi coughed in shock, the brush falling out of his mouth as he gaped at the picture in front of him. It couldn't be.
"Y-you... are... real?" He couldn't help it but let his gaze wander over the slender form of the boy, he remembered introduced himself by the name 'Yami'. He wore black leather again, tightly hugging his figure. His eyes rose over the buckle at his throat to his face, to his eyes. Red and fiery. Deadly. Beautiful.
//Of course I am.// A mental chuckle tickled in the back of his head, the fire in the eyes of the stranger blazing with amusement. //I wouldn't be here otherwise, would I?//
"But..." Yugi swallowed nervously, suddenly in fear for a reason unknown to him. "You can't be real. I have to be dreaming. That would be magic. And magic doesn't exist! I don't believe that!"
//Calm down, little one.// A gentle smile graced the lips of his look- alike, softening his expression from the burning fire to one of smouldering ashes. //Magic is something natural and it's living within you as it is living in everyone. I am very real.//
"Stop! Don't tell me that!" Yugi stepped backwards sharply until the cold wall of the bathroom hit his back. "Go away! Leave me alone!"
//No.// The face of the boy in the mirror hardened, the fire in his eyes suddenly flaring up in rage. //I don't want to.//
"Please go!", he cried out, pressing his eyes close. His hands automatically flew up to his ears as if he could shut out the mental voice with the action. "Please..."
He could see the flash of light, which followed, even through his closed eyes and before he could move an inch, two arms encircled him and pulled him forward against something warm and smooth. Yugi nearly choked on his breath. What was going on now?!
//Don't make me leave.//
"Wha-?" Confused he tried to look up into the crimson eyes of this weird Yami, but found himself literally crushed against his chest, so his sight was blocked by leather.
//I will stay.// The voice came with a wave of stubbornness. //You can't make me go.//
Yugi felt a blush rise to his cheeks. That all couldn't be happening. As if the illusion in the mirror wasn't enough to prove, that he had lost his mind! Now he was plastered against this illusion! And he couldn't say it didn't feel good... he felt uneasy, but not uncomfortable. Truth to be told, he could almost feel... no! No, no, no. Nope. It didn't feel THAT good!
//I won't go!//, the Yami-person repeated heatedly, clutching him even tighter.
"Then stay.", Yugi murmured defeated. If Yami really was just an illusion, he had to fade anyway. If not... well, then he had a problem.
He was surprised as the embrace loosened a bit and a content sigh washed over his ear and tickled his hair. He would have lied now if he said it didn't feel good. The warmth he received from the body in front of his. He unconsciously moved closer and leaned in for more warmth and touch.
"Yugi, the pancakes are getting cold!", the voice of his grandfather broke the spell. "Where are you?"
"I'm in the bathroom!", Yugi called back, feeling embarrassed. "I'm coming! Wait a sec!"
//You're going?// The leather-clad figure of the dark boy moved back, letting go of him. Yugi almost latched onto him then, but could hold himself back barely.
"I have to.", he said unsure, confused with the urge to throw himself back into the stranger's arms. But that wasn't a thing shy little Yugi would do, was it? To be so bold... And honestly... why would he?
//Then I will see you later.// A tinge of sadness clung to Yami's words and forced Yugi to look up and straight into the crimson deeps. So fascinating. So oddly addicting. Like fire and blood and desire. It was almost frightening to have them upon yourself. Almost.
"Yeah, later...", he whispered, nodding, but never adverting his gaze.
A dusky hand reached up and Yugi flinched as it touched his cheek gently. It felt like a jolt of energy rushed through him, tensing his every muscle in sheer suspense and delight. He didn't dare to blink, fearing Yami could actually vanish. Fearing, that he was really an illusion.
The touch lingered for a moment, then Yami drew back slowly, letting his hand wander the skin until it reached the chin. Before it could loose the contact tough, Yugi's own hand came up to cup it and hold it in place firmly. He didn't plan on doing so, it was as if it had its own will, but he didn't mind it all the same. The skin under his felt like desert, like dunes of sand, so velvety that you wanted to delve in and drown in its heat.
//Cover your eyes or the light will blind you...//
The voice was so soft. So thick with emotion. So deep and steady and unbelievingly alluring. Yugi didn't care anymore that he used such words as alluring. It was as it was and he knew it. There was no denying it. Yami, creature of the night, all dark but his piercing ruby eyes, had captured him so quickly and made him long for something he didn't know it existed. And, God, like he didn't want to flee!
Unwillingly he closed his eyes as he was told, waiting for Yami to vanish again. Such a beautiful illusion he was. Never had anything felt so real to him.
The flash of light told him that it ended. The illusion was gone. Again. Tears welled up in his eyes but he forced them down. There was no reason for crying. No reason at all. He reached up to touch his cheek, where Yami's hand had been before. It felt warm and tingly. How could that not have been real, he wondered slightly dazed. But it couldn't have been... could it?
"Yugi?!" A loud knock on the door made him jump in shock.
"What is it, grandpa?", he squeaked, blushing as he heard his own voice.
"School is starting in a few minutes and you didn't eat, nor did you pack your school-bag!" Then his grandfathers voice grew concerned. "Is everything all right?"
"Yes, it is!" Yugi threw his clothes on hastily. He had forgotten the time completely! He didn't want to be late to school! The bullies were always the latest and he really didn't want to run into one of them! Especially Jounouchi seemed to be looking out for him these days.
"Then hurry up, boy!" The footsteps of the old man retreated and Yugi quickly followed. Seemingly there was no time to shower today.
"Here is your lunch, Yugi." Sugoroku smiled slightly. "You never take so long in the bathroom! Did you try to fix your hair?"
"Er... yes!", Yugi lied. "It didn't work!"
"I could have told you before!", his grandpa laughed. "Mine did never obey to anything I wanted!"
"Well, now I know it.", Yugi said nervously, bouncing up and down on his heels. "I have to go! I'm late!"
"Bye, Yugi!", Sugoroku called after him cheerfully. Yugi certainly wondered, what was up with him this morning that he was in such a good mood, but he dismissed it quickly and dashed out the door, just to greet a sight he would never have expected.
"Yami?!"
To Be Continued...
That's it for now. Like I said before, no plot this time! The small scene is stretched incredibly and it happened almost nothing there. But I like it somehow ^^ Dunno. I wanted to show their feelings this time. That and I listened to Brian Adams's "Wherever You Go" and "Here I am". *hehe*
Tara: Did you have fun reading? *grins*
Yami: Fun? Did we have fun, aibou?
Yugi: Yeah, we had! *cheers*
Bakura: *purrs* And we all know what kind of 'fun'... *smirk*
Yami: *confused* We do?
Yugi: *gulp* We do...
Yami: Do we?
Yugi: *looks embarrassed* Yeah, we do.
Yami: Do we...?
Yugi: Yeah, Yami, we do.
Yami: Um... Do w-
Bakura: *holds his head* Shut up, you two.
Yami: But...
Bakura: *growl*
Ryou: Yami, could you please just go over there and kiss Yugi, hm?
Yami: Okay. *snatches Yugi and dashes off*
Bakura: How do you manage that all the time?
Ryou: I'm a hikari – it's all about experience, yami, just experience.

Yami Yuki, Wolfspeaker1, Koishii No Tenshi, Yami Rissa, Nekostar 2, Hikari- Nevertiri, HikariEryaviel, Sansi, Legolas19, Silverm, Kitty Neko and feh!
