~*~Love
on Ice~*~
"Are you sure you don't want any help?"
"Iie, Yugi you need rest. I'll leave it for now, and
finish off later."
Yami started to clear away the wrapping paper and sticky-tape while Yugi
continued to watch Toonami; Gundam Wing was on and it
was an episode he hadn't seen before. When Yami returned he sat back on the bed
and cuddled up to his aibou, not getting the response he was looking for as
Yugi was absorbed in the anime.
He pulled Yugi closer and looked down, noticing that the smaller was virtually
asleep, his violet eyes half closed.
"Yugi? How about we switch this off and go to sleep
for a while?"
"Iie, Yami I haven't seen this one. It's a really
good one, too."
"They always repeat these things, hikari. We'll catch it another day. Or I'll
buy you the DVD."
Smiling Yugi turned the television off. He had always wanted a Gundam Wing DVD.
Yami took away some of the pillows that had been propping Yugi into a sitting
position and helped him to lie down.
"Comfy, aibou?"
"Yeah, I have the best pillow in the house."
Yami laughed slightly, knowing that the 'pillow' was actually Yami's chest.
Yami wrapped his arms around the smaller and began to lightly rub his back, the
soothing motion lulling him to sleep.
Yami stayed awake, watching over his aibou's frail
body, until he too fell asleep.
~*~
When Yami woke up he looked down and was greeted to the angelic sight of his
hikari sleeping peacefully. Smiling down at the tenshi he brushed some of the
golden bangs away from Yugi's face, and kissed his forehead lightly. This
caused Yugi to stir slightly, his bright amethyst eyes slowly fluttered open,
and he let out a small yawn.
"Time'sit?"
Yami laughed at Yugi's speech which was slurred with sleep.
"A little after ten, hikari. Sleep all you want, you
haven't got to get up if you don't feel up to it."
Yugi nodded and rested his head on Yami's chest.
"Yugi, are you hungry? I'm starved so do you want something too?"
"If you're already getting up, then yeah. Breakfast
sounds good."
Yami gently released his hold on the small boy and stood up, tucking Yugi in
and placing a kiss on Yugi's lips.
"Be back in a minute."
Yugi nodded sleepily and yawned again. Then fell asleep.

Yami had been learning how to cook, and had gotten pretty good. Well a lot
better than he had started out as...the food was now recognisable and was of a
colour other than black.
Smiling at his improving skills Yami grabbed a bowl and the cereal, Yugi like
cornflakes best, and poured the bowl half full. He then poured himself a bowl
and added some milk to his.
He made two glasses of apple juice, Yugi's favourite, and then placed the lot
onto a tray and carried it back up to the sleeping angel.
~*~
Yugi was fast asleep when the door creaked open and Yami poked his head round
the door. He smiled at the beautiful sight, and had to resist the overwhelming
urge to glomp the smaller boy.
"Yugi? Yugi? Wake up aibou."
"Hmm? What? Oh, food!"
Yugi brightened; they had missed tea last night instead opted for cuddling up
watching anime shows in bed. Yami noticed the wrapping paper he had left last
night, realising that he still had a lot of stuff to clear away. It could wait
till after breakfast though.
He placed the tray down on the bed then sat next to Yugi, handing the smaller
his bowl and a spoon.
"You remembered I don't like milk!"
"Of course I did. I'm your koi, and your yami. I know
everything about you."
"Really? Yami's know everything about their hikari's?"
Yami nodded; his mouth full of cornflakes so he couldn't give a full answer. Yugi
sat deep in thought, if Yami knew everything...then why didn't he confess his
love earlier?
"Yami?"
"Hai, hikari?"
"Um...never mind. It's not important."
Yami shrugged and went back to his breakfast, but as he said, yami's knew everything about their aibous.
//I was scared, I don't know why. I knew you loved me too...but I was just
scared.//
Yugi smiled, and hugged the spirit. Yami gladly returned the embrace and took
in the scent of Yugi's soft hair.
"You smell good, hikari."
"You smell better..."
Their breakfast's forgotten the two cuddled up again and fell back to sleep in
each others arms, a smile on their faces. Neither caring about the cornflakey mess on the carpet.
