This is my favorite chapter, so I won't apologize for the brevity. I think it makes up for it… feel free to disagree.

Part I: Save Yourself

Part 5 of 6

On the way back downstairs from tucking Mokuba in, I thought about his goodnight. "I'm glad you got home in time to hang out with me, Big Brother. I hope Yugi comes over more often; that was really fun."

Mokuba deserved better than I had been giving him. I was acting out because my childhood was ruined, and by doing so I was ruining what was left of my brother's childhood.

When I returned to the rec room, Yugi wasn't there, but I heard water running in the kitchen. I stopped in the doorway to watch him. He had not moved Mokuba's stool away from the sink, but was instead standing on it and washing dishes. The sight was alluring; I stayed in the doorway, just watching. He turned and saw me, and smiled.

"You don't have to do that." I lifted my chin, indicating the dishes.

"I know." He turned back to his task.

I crossed the space between us, and put one hand on either side of the sink, around Yugi's small frame. I leaned close to his ear. "You're almost as tall as me now." Goosebumps formed on his neck where my breath touched it, and I heard the bowl he had been washing slip from his fingers and clatter into the sink. He placed his soapy hands next to mine on the counter, and I brushed them lightly with my thumbs. Yugi inhaled deeply, and as he let out the breath he leaned back against me, his head to the side. I pressed my cheek to his neck, smoothing the goosebumps from his shoulder to his ear. I brought my right hand to Yugi's stomach, and rubbed it from side to side, then up his chest. I could feel his nipples through his shirt, already hard, tickling my palm as I moved my hand across them. If they were hard… "Mmmh…" I hummed in his ear. I moved my hand slowly, slowly down his chest and stomach. A small cry slipped loose from Yugi's lips, and his hand flew to mine, stopping it at the low band of his pants. I stepped closer behind him, pressing myself briefly against him, then away. If he had any doubts that this was mutual, they were gone. My racing heart beat loudly in my ears, and my voice was thick in my throat as I spoke softly in Yugi's ear. "Turn around."

Yugi turned. Leaning back on the sink, he put his hands on the small of my back and pulled me assertively … dominantly? ... to him. His face was tilted down, but as our bodies joined from our chests down to the tips of his toes on the stool, he looked up at me through his lashes. His eyes, round and open just minutes ago, were slanted, his gaze intense. I placed my hands on either side of his face and tilted it up to mine to see them better. This was the Yugi from my dream! Even as I drank him in, the eyes opened wide again; this, too, was Yugi. I leaned down and kissed him, gently, on the lips. I felt him melt beneath me: his lips parted to admit my searching tongue, his shoulders and his hips opened. It was an incredible feeling, to have someone become completely receptive to me. I placed one hand on his back and pressed closer, into him.

I kissed him, deeply, for a moment longer, before drawing my head back, out of reach of his lips. When his eyes opened in question, I asked, "Do you want to see if your Grandpa will let you spend the night?" Yugi blinked. "And don't tell me you don't want to." I shifted my weight from one foot, to the other. His eyes fluttered and his breath caught as my body shifted against his. "We both know that's not true."

'Cuz I wanna learn

How you'd save yourself,

For someone who, could love you for you.

So many times we just give it away

To someone who,

Couldn't even remember your name

So, Kaiba tells me I should wait a good, long while before posting the next chapter. I'm not quite as comfortable with torture, so it will probably be up soonish. But he is very good at getting what he wants…

Dimitri – You, slow! You post something every day! Okay, so far I have too, but I doubt I can keep it up. These first chapters are all done, easy to post. Plus, though you only have two days off this week, here in Maine school and colleges have the whole week off, which means my girlfriend went to visit her mom for the week, which means I have plenty of time to post. Ah, the exciting single life I could be leading, yeah, right. Yay, camping! Thanks for the marshmallow, but don't let the fire too close to the computer! Hope this was quick enough!

Dragon: Hmm, guess you'll just have to wait to see who's in charge of Yugi's body… remember its Kaiba's pov, and he doesn't know there are two…

unknown chick – oh, dear. For starters, you should find out who you are. Perhaps not knowing is what is making you so cranky. To start you off, I believe you are most likely human, not, in fact, a baby chicken. I have chickens; they don't know how to cut and paste. Also, my parents were married at my conception and birth, so I am not a bastard. Or evil, that I recall… And you reviewed chapter 4, not 1, so did you read the whole thing before you figured it out? I even posted a warning… You are welcome to continue reading, and wishing for my death, but I will have to refuse that part, begging your pardon.

some1 – Um, welcome. eh, Kaiba's a big boy, he can take care of himself.

Yana5 Yes, they kissed! Your wish came true! But, now…
