I don't own Yugioh

Chapter 5: Tonight's the night

Yugi turned his face lighting up in shock at the mysterious voice, but when he turned around to face its owner he smiled brightly. " Tygris!" The green haired male nodded gently in acknowledgement as the tri haired teen walked over to give him a small hug.

" I see you know him." Yami spoke, shaking off the surprise he had at seeing Yugi dancing. The smaller teen turned to his Yami a light blush on his face.

" Just listening to some music that's all." Yugi walked over to the radio turning off the music with a push of a button. Clearing his throat a bit Yugi introduced the two. " Yami this is my friend Tygris, Tygris this is Yami." The golden-eyed male turned to Yami holding out his hand for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you."

With his usual serious expression Yami replied shaking the out stretched hand.

" Nice to meet you too."

{ I guess he looks nice enough.}

// Yami what is that supposed to mean?//

Yami mentally sighed. {Nothing Yugi , I was just observing.}

" Excuse me I'll be in the kitchen." Yami excused himself from the room going to the said place. Yugi frowned slightly but looked up at the green haired male with a smile.

"How are you?"

Tygris smiled. " Just fine, thought I'd drop by to see if you were okay. By the way nice place you guys got here."

Yugi chuckled softly. " Its not that much pretty simple really."

Tygris looked down at the smaller boy. " Simple is just fine with me."

Yugi lead the taller male to the couch with a friendly smile. " Would you like a drink?" The light asked being the perfect host even if he didn't have much to offer.

" Glass of water is fine thank you." The small teen quickly went to the kitchen to get the glass of water. Upon entering the humble kitchen they had, Yugi spotted Yami sorting through the mail a distressed look on his face.

" Is something wrong Yami?" Pink lips pouted slightly as he looked on at Yami's expression. Looking up Yami smiled a small smile of reassurance that didn't seem so quite reassuring.

" Nothing Yugi just looking at some bills. Anyway um," Yami watched as Yugi walked to the fridge get the fresh Britta water they had in the fridge.

" I'm gonna be leaving soon, gotta run some errands again. I'm also running late tonight so I wont be back until one thirty in the morning." Yami was always busy running here and there practically killing himself with the pressures of life. Lavender eyes looked away in sadness.

" I guess I'm going to be alone.again." Too busy taking a quick bite of his bread and cheese sandwich; Yami didn't notice the hurt tone in his light's voice.

" Yea." With a small pat on Yugi's shoulder, Yami went upstairs to get something leaving his other to deal with his sadness.

" Is he always like that?" Yugi's eyes snapped up and around to meet sympathetic golden yellow ones like the sun.

" No, he wasn't always like that he's just stressed." The young duelist sighed sadly, small hands running through his soft spikes. " He's going through a lot." Tygris's boots gently scuffed against the tile approaching Yugi.

" I understand. I used to be like that once too."

Tygris stepped before Yugi placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, disheveled lime green hair falling into his face but it suited him and brought out the color of his eyes. Yugi gazed back into those orbs falling into its warm depts. Every time into them he drowned into their warm and loving depths, it just radiated from his very being.

//Guess that was why I trust him so much and I just met him.//

Tygger ran his hand through Yugi's hair a soothing gesture.

" It must be cool to have a twin."

" Um." It was that moment Yugi sweat dropped realizing that he didn't quite tell him everything. There was a lot Tygris still didn't know about him, and that he himself didn't know about Tygris.

" Well we're not really brothers." Yugi didn't know how he was going to explain this but he figured it was going to take a while, he just hoped the taller male wouldn't think he was crazy.

" Really?" Yellow eyes opened a bit in surprised.

" Yea really." Yugi mumbled nervously lowering his gaze a bit.

" After I tell you the whole story.I'm afraid you might just think I'm insane." The amethyst-eyed boy admitted gulping hard.

The green haired male chuckled his full lips curling up into a smile.

" Yugi I won't think you're insane, even if you were, you would be the cutest insane person I have ever met."

Yugi blushed hard at the odd compliment walking over and giving Tygris his glass of water, " Here."

" Thank you." The two-walked back to the couch, as Yugi thought about this hoping he was doing the right thing. He had told him almost everything; filling in the gaps would have to come sooner or later right? Trying to think of something, Yugi asked the most sensible question that would break the ice for a conversation of this sort.

" Do you.do you believe in magic?"

Tygris looked at him with a thoughtful expression. "...I've never really thought about it.but I guess that I have always believed in it. Why?"

" Do you believe in spirits or dark forces?" Yugi asked further leaving the green haired male puzzled.

" Yugi, why are you asking these things?" The tri haired teen fiddled with his fingers nervously, hesitantly looking up to meet the questioning gaze.

" Well I.-" Interrupting the moment Yami came down clad in his usual black attire ready to go.

" Sorry to interrupt, Yugi I'm leaving okay."

Yugi rose from the couch going over to see his darkness good bye.

" Yes, Yami."

" Take care," Then looking up at Tygris, Yami grinned slightly. " Good bye. It was nice meeting you again."

Tygris returned the small smile. " Same here." With that Yami was out the door leaving the two once again alone.

Yugi turned back to Tygris a nervous grin in place. " This might take a while."

The two talked for hours, Yugi revealing the secrets of the millennium puzzle leaving Tygris in a state of awe.

" I see, so he's a spirit." As crazy as the story sounded Tygris believed him and he didn't really have a reason to, but he just did.

Yugi nodded his head. " I know what you're thinking. You're thinking I'm crazy, psychotic-"

" That's amazing." Those sudden words surprised Yugi leaving him slightly dazed at his response.

" That's what?"

" Amazing." Tygris replied running his fingers through his green hair a smile on his charming face.

" You believe me?"

Tygris looked into Yugi's eyes then down at the upside down pyramid around his slender neck. " Yes, I do."

Yugi smiled at him brightly, his wide amethyst eyes brimming a bit with tears.

" I-I" Yugi sniffled his hands reaching up to rub his eyes. " Sorry."

The older teen smiled pulling Yugi forward in a tight embrace he so desperately needed.

" Hey, its okay.I believe you," Strong yet gentle hands tipped Yugi's chin up so he could look into his eyes. " I know when one speaks the truth. "

The light melted into Tygris's arms, relaxing into his warm and protective embrace that reminded him so much of Yami.

// He used to hold close all the time.//

Yugi muffled a soft sobs as intense emotions washed over him making him feel like a mere child in the older teen's arms. But Yugi took the moment to enjoy being held because he knew he probably wouldn't be held like this for a long time. Ever since grandpa had gotten sick things had changed so much.

//I miss you grandpa.//

" Its okay to cry Yugi-chan, things are gonna be better. " Tygris whispered softly in his ear as he rocked him tenderly in his arms. The green haired teen ran warms hands down yugi's back trying his best to make the smaller teen.

The two stayed like that for hours, cuddled in that comforting embrace that Yugi longed for. It was around 7:00 in the evening and they were still like that entangled in one another's embrace as they lay on the couch. They'd strike up a conversation every once or twice during that time but it was small and they soon just settled for being near each other in calming silence. Small hands played with the buttons on Tygris's red shirt, a content look on his cherubic face.

" Feeling better cutie?" Tygger asked stroking his cheek causing a soft blush to flare up onto Yugi's plump cheeks.

" Yes thank you. You've such a big help."

" No prob, I enjoy making people happy. My job is to please." Golden eyes glittered as he smirked slyly causing the smaller teen's blush to deepen.

" You do a very good job." Shyly Yugi sat up reluctantly pulling away from those strong arms, sitting up.

" Why, thank you." Tygris replied sitting up as well. After a few moments of just silent gazing Yugi asked. " Are you going to the 'club' tonight?"

Tygris glanced at his watch. " Yea, I gotta leave soon."

" I'm going with you." Those confident words fell from Yugi's cute pink lips, his eyes begging for Tygris to say 'yes'.

" Are you sure? Do you think you're really ready for this?" So serious he was as he asked to make sure Yugi was real about this. " Really think about this Yugi-chan.I don't want you having regrets." The look in his eyes was one filled with concern and it made Yugi's heart glow to see such worry and concern directed to him.

" My only regret is that I didn't think of this earlier." Yugi smiled.

" Alright," Tygris stood up shaking out his jacket looking down at Yugi. " Lets go." The smaller boy jumped up with a small cheer, from the couch getting his jacket and his shoes.

" Tonight's the night."

Author's Note: Yes, I'm sorry I took forever. But next chappie is STRIPPING TIME! *woots* Take it off Yugi!!
