Yugi awoke the next morning to a low purring sound he opened his eye's only to have a view of Yami's eyes he moved back a little bit when he realized the purring was coming from Yami! Then eeped when he realized that he was as bare as the day he was born and Yami had a knee wedged between his legs. Yugi quickly shuffled away from Yami trying to cover himself as much as possible but when he sat up he immediately started to feel light headed and dizzy.
"Yami," he moaned as he lost his balance and fell backwards; unfortunately he was very close to the edge of the bed and fell/slipped off landing on the floor with a pained cry.
Yugi heard movement up on the bed and before he new it there was Yami staring down at him over the edge of the bed Yugi struggled to pull some of the blanket down to cover himself with
"Yugi, are you okay?" Yami asked still concerned for the smaller vampire.
"Noooo," he moaned back up at him from his place on the floor.
Yami slinked down next to him, gently picking him up into a seated position against the bed; Yugi was still trying to gather enough blankets to cover his lower regions.
"What's wrong?" Yami asked him feeling his forehead with a cold hand.
"'M dizzy," he murmured pushing up against the bed.
"Yugi, you just haven't drunk enough blood yet," Yami said smiling softly at him, he picked Yugi up and sat next to him on the bed earning him a small moan as Yugi's head moved.
Yami pulled him into a light embrace with Yugi's head on his shoulder,
"Come on bite me," he whispered in his ear as he rubbed the little ones back, making him relax.
"It's all right," Yami added Yugi looked at him slightly before slowly pressing his fangs through the skin on Yami's shoulder and drinking a bit, afraid he might hurt him. He felt Yami move a bit as he place a light kiss right below Yugi's ear. Said vampire gasped slightly and started to drink more from Yami's shoulder wrapping his arms around Yami's chest.
Yami started to move again, this time pulling Yugi off his shoulder, before he was pulled to far though Yugi very timidly licked the tiny puncture marks left behind and they closed over almost instantly.
"There that should keep you set for a few hours," Yami said, brushing Yugi's bangs out of his face as the little one licked his lips of the sweet blood.
"Yami, did-did we, err, you know?" he asked blushing as he tried to re-cover himself but not before realizing that his scar was also uncovered. Yami noticed the nervousness in Yugi's voice and smiled slightly,
"No Yugi we didn't go that far," he said "I wouldn't do that without your full permission" he added being reminded of the frightened raped child Yugi had turned into the night before.
Yugi blushed even more at that, before searching for his clothes. Before he could get to them Yami picked him up off the bed,
"You're taking a bath first," he said almost playfully as he walked into the bathroom.
Yugi's mouth dropped open, he had never seen Yami's private bathroom it wasn't anything like the others in the house it was huge and the walls were painted to look like Ancient Egyptian Nile scenery, but one of the things that caught his eye was the bath which was raised up with steps leading up to it, looked more like a small pool inlaid with a mosaic to make it look like the ocean floor.
Yami drew up a bath for him and motioned for him to get in, which he did moaning when as he settled on the bottom closing his eyes as he sank in getting his hair good and wet. He blew out all the air in his lungs quickly when he felt someone slip in behind him wrapping their arms around his waist; Yugi came up gasping for air as he franticly turned around to see Yami smiling at him.
"don't do that!" he cried glaring at the older vampire only to earn a small laugh from him as Yugi scuttled away from him, stopping and turning around sinking into the water up to his nose, making him look like a small fuzzy headed crocodile.
Yami full out laughed at that he hadn't seen crocodiles in centuries and Yugi was doing the funniest impression of one he had ever seen,
"Yugi, what's wrong with me washing you off?" Yami said still chuckling as he held up a soapy wash cloth.
Yugi just blew bubbles at him before coming close enough for comfort, he hadn't been washed by anybody since he was little bitty, at the age of five his dad finally just threw him a wash cloth and told him to do it himself. Yami pulled him closer and sat him down next to him on the step he started to scrub gaining him a nervous glance from Yugi Yami leaned in on him resting his head on Yugi's shoulder as he reached around him
"Relax," Yami whispered in the younger vampire's ear as he began to slowly scrub Yugi's chest and stomach the hand that was resting on Yugi's back felt him start to relax a bit; Yami finally let the wash cloth go and started to very lightly trace the long scar from shoulder to hip with the tips of his fingers.
"Yami, stop it," Yugi murmured knowing Yami was teasing him.
Knowing it was a very sensitive spot, Yami just continued smirking into the smaller one's shoulder as Yugi gasped when he hit the very end of the scar and kept on tracing down his thigh Yugi finally reached down and grabbed the cloth which had settled on his lap and quickly slung it over his shoulder.
"I said stop it!" Yugi cried successfully hitting Yami over the head with it. Yami quickly pulled his head up, startled out of his haze and Yugi dove out of the bath quickly grabbing a towel and wrapping it around his waist; Yami stared at him like a lost puppy from his spot in the tub.
"I'm sorry Yami, but when I said stop it I meant stop it," Yugi said marching out of the room to go find his clothes.
"I'm sorry Yugi for earlier," Yami said.
They had gone down for breakfast after their 'bath' to find a very disheveled looking Jou playing a small game with Seto called 'guess the flavor'. They had about a dozen different types of blood spread out on the table and what they would do is either Seto or Jou would close his eyes and the other would pick one, and hand it to him and he would take a drink and try to guess what type blood it was the only problem is they were both purposely loosing so they could claim their prize, any kind of kiss to determine what type of blood they really did get.
The game quickly made both Yami and Yugi turn and quickly walk in the opposite direction, now they were outside in the huge back yard walking towards a big man made lake.
"It's okay, Yami I just…well I don't like that scar being touched," Yugi lied; Yami caught it but decided not to press the matter.
They stopped when they reached the floating gazebo on the edge of the lake Yami stepped on first holding out a hand to steady Yugi on the bridge between land and the gazebo.
"Yami what are we doing?" Yugi said giggling slightly at the way Yami offered his hand to him.
"I'm making up for what I did this morning," he said leading him to the edge to look over he waved for Yugi to come closer; he did looking over the edge he recoiled looking sharply at Yami.
"Yami, something's staring back at me, and it's not my reflection," Yugi said worriedly pointing at the water; where he had seen a pair of big eyes staring at him.
"Yes Yugi I know, here," He said taking Yugi's hand and holding it over the railing,
"Yami! What are you doing!" Yugi asked his nerves getting the better of him,
"Yugi, nothing's going to hurt you I promise just hold your hand still," Yami said coolly as something long and pink emerged from the water right below his hand.
Yugi looked down at the thing it looked like a snake's tongue, it slowly traveled up and cautiously licked his hand before retracting; he looked at Yami, arching an eyebrow.
"Shhhh," was all Yami said to him nodding his head for him to watch.
The tongue went back into the water and the next thing to emerge was a giant aqua and black colored scale what followed it though blew Yugi's mind it was some sort of dinosaur or something all Yugi could see was the thing's elongated head and part of it's long neck it's yellowish eyes blinked curiously at him.
"Yugi, I'd like you to meet mine and Jou's pet, Lassie," Yami said guiding his hand out to meet her cold wet scaly nose,
"Yami! You mean to tell me you and Jou own the Loch ness monster?" Yugi squeaked his eyes wider than he thought possible,
"Well no the real Loch ness was this one's mother she died decades ago when this little girl was still just a baby" Yami told him letting go of Yugi's hand as Lassie let out a shrill squeak of happiness. "And she's not really a monster she's just a type of dinosaur, plesiosaur, I think." Yami added reaching out to pet her too.
"How on earth did you guys get her here?" Yugi said amazed as the creature moved away and started to raise the rest of the way out of the water and roll over to sunbathe.
"Magic," Yami said simply, sitting down on one of the side seats as he watched Yugi leaning over the railing.
"Can you swim Yugi?" he asked truly curious.
"nope, father never wanted to give me the time to teach me how, so I'd sink like a rock and drowned if I ever fell into a pool or lake," Yugi said glancing back over his shoulder to make sure Yami wasn't about to push him into the lake.
"I could teach you," he said standing again, wrapping his arms around Yugi's petite waist to pull him off the railing.
"I'm quite sure you can, but I don't feel like drowning," Yugi said just allowing himself to be pulled and leaning back into Yami.
"Yugi you wouldn't drown," Yami said turning Yugi around to face him leaning his forehead against Yugi's he took advantage of the position and leaned in slowly closing the gap between their lips starting a long heated kiss which Yugi melted into instantly; they separated gasping for air moments later.
"Does this make up for this morning?" Yami asked his eyes slightly clouded.
Yugi hummed his approval, "I still love you all the more." Yugi said leaning up and giving Yami a small innocent kiss they just stood there holding each other as they stare into each other's eyes when a wall of water washed over the gazebo throwing them both into the water. Yami came up sputtering, looking around franticly for Yugi. Yugi was farther away splashing around,
"HELP!" he cried splashing harder trying to stay afloat; he had landed in the deeper water away from the shore and was sinking fast.
Yami started to stroke quickly towards him, his little lover was in serious trouble; Yugi went under unable to swim he sank just as he said; Yami dove after him following the trail of bubbles down, hoping he got to him in time.
Suddenly a large black shape appeared underneath Yugi, and he started to rise again from what Yami could see he was unconscious with only tiny bubbles coming out of his mouth; it was Lassie she was pushing Yugi up to the surface with her head Yami followed her up as the top of her head broke the surface and rose off the water a few feet. Yugi hung limp on top her head, she gave another shrill cry as she shook her head a bit, wagging Yugi around like a rag doll; she tilted her head up and Yugi slid off Yami watched as he slid down her rough scaled neck stopping around her shoulders Yami quickly climbed up onto her back turning Yugi over.
"Yugi! Come on wake up!" he shouted at him pressing down on his chest too get the water out of his lungs
"Come on koi," he repeated stopping long enough to press his ear to the little vampire's chest; Yugi quickly inhaled a sharp breath of air, rolling back over onto his stomach as he coughed up what would, to a normal human, be a deadly amount of water.
Yugi finally purged his lungs of the water that had almost filled them; Yami pulled him back up.
"Yugi are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
"Uh-huh…" he replied wiping his mouth off, and collapsing forward onto Lassie's cool back; his lungs hurt making his entire chest hurt.
"Ow," was all he said when he hit the slightly rough almost sandpapery feeling scales; Yami tried to help him by gently massaging his back just below the shoulder blades. Yami saw Lassie's head come into view staring curiously at the two passengers on her back blowing at Yugi before trying to nudge at him with her nose making him groan in protest.
As if learning her lesson that her new friend couldn't swim, she swam to the shore, her large flippers propelling her forward easily until they were in shallow enough water to walk in.
Yami got off with Yugi in his arms the small one's eyes half lidded.
"I'm sorry Yugi, I didn't know she would do that," Yami said as he carried Yugi back to the mansion.
"It's okay Yami, 'm just feeling a bit dizzy again," he replied giving Yami a weak smile.
"I'll get you fixed up with a good batch of blood and you'll be just fine, how does that sound?" Yami asked him smiling,
"That sounds good," Yugi replied dozing slightly as they entered.
Thankfully Seto and Jou had finished their game and were now lying in a tangled heap of limbs and clothes on the table; Yami and Yugi averted their eyes as they made their way to the freezer.
Yami set Yugi down outside the large freezer door and entered the cold room, returning with a bottle of blood in his hands he warmed the frozen blood inside up before picking Yugi up again and heading off towards the living room with him. Just turning on the radio for them instead of the TV, Yami gave Yugi the warm blood and sat down next to him watching him quietly as the little one gulped down the pure blood. He had almost forgotten how dependant a new vampire's system was upon blood during his first few months.
Yugi drank almost all of the red liquid, offering what was left to Yami.
"No thanks I'm set for the next couple days," he said pushing it away,
"Yami, why do I need so much blood?" Yugi asked setting the glass down.
"it would be better if you asked Seto questions like that he's better when it comes to the physical aspects of a change" Yami replied hugging Yugi to his side,
"What else is there around here like Lassie?" Yugi asked curiously trying to think of what else could be hiding around the mansion
"well there's an old water spirit that lives in the lake with Lassie she only comes out every once in a while though, there are two brother dragons, the Ishtars, who live in a the cave called our basement I'll introduce you to them sometime they are kind of… oh how to put this, err, insane due to a lack of sunlight and human contact for centuries they went crazy when we gave them a computer with internet, and there's an entire pack of dust bunnies scurrying around here somewhere, other than that our little house is as normal as can be" Yami said humorously clapping his hands together.
"Wow," Yugi said still starting to doze again he stretched up and gave Yami a soft kiss on the cheek before snuggling down into Yami and falling asleep listening to the radio.
Gruzzee: well I'll make this one short, yep I'm still here, had slight writers block but now I don't this was a sort of filler but still R&R and come back for more.
