Chapter 3
Unspoken Anger
Yami stared after Yuugi. //I'm such an idiot.// The realization of what he did hit him. He made the person he loved the most cry. "Oh, man!" Another mess, but this time, no one was with him to help clean it up. There was another person, but to do that he would have to see the person who left him.
Looking back at the spot Yuugi was, he felt his lips tingle. He wanted so bad to feel Yuugi's lips again. He knew he could not live without Yuugi. Not now, now that they finally know each other's feelings. //No! I need him!//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami came home, glad no one was there. He changed his clothes and put fresh ones on. Then he picked up the phone...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaiba was sitting and reading a book. He was going to stay with Yuugi until his grandpa got back from going out, so he was on dinner duty. He knew that Mokuba and Jounouchi would be eating right about now. Lost in his reading, when the phone rang, it startled him. He set down the book and went to go pick it up.
"Hello?"
"Kaiba? What're you doing at Yuugi's?"
"Yuugi's grandpa went out of town... He didn't want Yuugi to be lonely, he asked me to keep up the house."
"I see."
"So, why'd you call?"
"Well, my parents aren't home and so that means no one's here to cook. I would cook, but I don't want to get sick. Could I come over and eat there?"
Kaiba knew there was a little more. Yuugi only mentioned his feelings for Yami once. And it stuck in the back of his mind. With the tone in Yami's voice, he realized that he had ulterior motives.
"Sure, Yami. I'm stuck with cooking. So, if you don't mine me cooking, sure, come on over."
"Arigatou, Kaiba. I'll be there in a little bit."
"Jaa."
Kaiba sat down and picked up his book. Then sighed, remembering he had to cook.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuugi's mind was racing. First there was the pain on the outside; his gut. Then there was the pain inside; his heart. /I would shout it from rooftops if it weren't for this stereotypical, analytical world we live in. But Yami's ashamed. I know he is. No other feeling can get that strong./
In much pain, Yuugi reached his front door. As soon as he opened it, he smelt food. If there were one thing that could settle his mind it would be food.
"Grandpa? What's cooking?"
He was surprised to see Kaiba stirring up something in a pot. "Kaiba? Nani.?"
"Your Grandpa went out of town and asked me to stay with you so you're not lonely. And that left me with cooking duties. Hurry up and get changed. It looks like you and Yami had a long day."
Yuugi raced to his room, eager for some food. As taking off his shirt, he was very much reminded him of his stomach. And his stomach reminded him how it failed him to keep him above Yami and the two sweet kisses they shared. /Food, I need some food to think clearly again./
Very gently, Yuugi managed to take off his shirt and put another one on without much pain. It took him fifteen minutes, but nevertheless, he did it.
Yuugi happily skipped to the kitchen. But stopped immediately when his stomach told him that wasn't good. With each step he smelt the delicious food.
He saw Kaiba still by the stove and a tri-colored hair teen sitting at the table looking down at the polished, flat surface. "Ah, Yuugi, you are just in time. Dinner's ready. Yami came by because his parents were out, so he wanted dinner that won't make him sick," Kaiba explained. "Don't know how good mine's gonna be, but it looks okay." He put a plate in front of Yami and another next to it.
"Arigatou. Ano, Kaiba-" Yuugi began.
But Kaiba cut him off, "I'll go take this to the guest room, I have got work to do. There's more on the stove, so you both can help yourselves." Kaiba left.
Yuugi took a seat away from his companion. He reached over the table to get his plate, but Yami grabbed his arm. "Gomen."
Yuugi felt himself redden with anger, forced his arm from Yami's grip. Yami looked down at his food, then at Yuugi. "Gomen," Yami said once again.
"So what, Mutou? I've lost my appetite." Yuugi got up from the table and went to his room. /Damn you, Yami. I want to hold you so bad, but not after what happened. It took everything I had not to kiss you or touch you./
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//What?! What could he mean? 'Mutou'?// Yami could not understand what just happened. He tried to talk to him. He apologized. Could have Yuugi been hurt that much?
Yes. Just as Yami has been. The disappointment his father had for him. It was the same pain as Yuugi was now feeling, he was sure of it. //What should I do?//
At that moment Kaiba walked in the kitchen with empty plates. "Where's Yuugi?" he asked Yami.
"He went to his room."
"I see. He didn't even eat. Neither did you."
Yami looked at his plate. It was still full with food. "We must not be that hungry today." He was not sure if Yuugi told Kaiba anything. And he was not about to volunteer anything Kaiba did not know.
"Nee, Yami. I do not know exactly what's going on, but I know you need to talk to Yuugi, right?" Yami nodded. "And he will not listen to you." Yami nodded again, even though he knew it wasn't a question. "I think he's just too stubborn. You might want to wait until he lightens up a bit and cools off."
Yami knew Kaiba was right. He, too, always needed to let off some steam before thinking clearly again. He figured giving Yuugi breathing room would be the best thing for right now. "Then I guess I'll be going. Jaa ne."
"'Bye."
Yami got up from the table and went out the front door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuugi sat by his window and watched Yami leave. For some reason Yuugi was angrier than he had ever been. He has always been happy, but when he did get mad, it was not for this long or this bad. So much was on the line. But he could not understand why Yami felt ashamed. Sure, they should not tell everyone at school; that would be like committing suicide. But they should not hide around it. It was not like they are the first.
He knew that it would be hard for Yami. Yami already felt that his father is disappointed in him and from his point of view; this would only make things worse. Yuugi knew that his family would be happy for him, so it did not matter much. But being ashamed is not the same thing as that. It hurt him more to know he was ashamed of then he would be if Yami just flat out refused any kind of relationship with him anymore.
Yuugi just hoped Yami would come around soon. /It's not my problem, it's his./
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami arrived home. Irrational thoughts flew unwanted into his mind. Somehow, from the way there, he became mad at Yuugi. He did not know how he got to that, but it had something to do with Yuugi acting like a child. And before he walked in the front door, he decided to get rid of his feelings for Yuugi. He would not see or speak to him again. //Aishiteru, demo sayonara, Yuugi.//
