Thank you for all of the reviews!
~*~Love
on Ice~*~
Yugi looked sadly at the bedroom door, which Yami had just stormed out of. A
few crystalline tears trailed down his cheeks as he remembered the stupid
argument they had. He thought about going after him, but a surveillance of the
room showed that his crutches were over the other side by the door. Sighing
Yugi lay back on the pillows. There wasn't much else he could do.
Until he heard the front door open. Eyes widening in fear, he heard foot steps
come up the stairs, along the corridor, and then his door opened to reveal...
"Jounouchi-kun!"
"Hey Yug, I hope you don't mind me dropping in, but the door was open
anyway."
Yugi wiped his eyes dry and smiled up at his friend, glad that he wasn't alone
anymore.
~*~
Elsewhere Yami had gone shopping. He was hoping to be done and get back
quickly, he felt really bad about the stupid fight he had with Yugi. He wanted
to get him a present to make up for it.
Quickly he made his way down the street, but stopped when something in the
window caught his eye. It was in the display window of a jewellery shop. Going
in he walked straight up to the counter, but had to wait behind some man who
was taking an awfully long time to choose what he wanted. The man looked very
rich, so could probably afford anything.
Yami sighed, and looked around for another assistant besides the one that was
engaged in a futile task of trying to help the rich man pick something out.
"Well, you see my wife likes necklaces, and I wanted to get something extra
special this year, it's her twenty-fifth birthday."
Yami sighed as the assistant brought out a silver box from the window.
"This is sterling silver, a nice engraved locket set. See, it has two parts,
one for you to keep and one for your wife. And we can put in a message if you
like."
"Yeah, I suppose that will do. I haven't seen anything better and I'm in a
hurry."
"Yes. Well this is the last one we have in stock."
Yami glanced over at the item, only half interested really. Until he saw
exactly what the man was buying.
The man walked out, carrying the now wrapped locket set in a small expensive
bag.
"Nani? That's the last one?
I wanted that!"
"Excuse me sir?"
"I wanted that necklace set!"
"I am very sorry, but we aren't getting any in stock for over a month. But if
you would like to place an order-"
Yami had already left the shop, and was now running full speed down the street
in search of the man who had the gift he wanted for his light.
~*~
"So you two had a fight, huh? That sucks. What happened?"
Jou was sitting next to Yugi, who was propped up with pillows on the double
bed. They each had a glass of juice and some cookies.
"It was really stupid; I don't know why we fought at all."
~*~Flashback~*~
It had been three hours since Yugi had
attempted to wander around, and they were now waking up once more.
Yami was curled protectively around the smaller, holding him in strong arms.
Yugi looked up through sleepy violet eyes, yawning slightly and stretching his
tired muscles.
"Yami? Could I try to get up again? I
want to go downstairs-"
"No. Yugi remember what the doctor said? You have to stay in bed for two
weeks, you really badly hurt your leg and you need to rest it."
"But just for a little while?"
"NO. I don't want you to get hurt even more. Just stay in bed for a
little while, okay?"
"But Yami-"
"What part of 'no' are you having trouble comprehending?"
Yugi sat shocked as Yami grabbed his crutches and put them over the other side
of the room where he couldn't get to them. Then he walked out of the door, and
out of the house leaving a teary-eyed hikari all alone.
~*~End Flashback~*~
Yugi felt fresh tears spill from his amethyst eyes. Jou leaned over and brushed
them away, capturing some of his golden bangs in his fingers.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
"It's my entire fault; he was only looking out for me. He didn't want me to get
hurt. Do you think he's going to come back?"
"Of course, he cares about you. It wasn't your fault, Yugi; don't be so hard on
yourself. Hey, how about I go find a movie to watch and bring it up here?"
Yugi smiled and nodded, drying his eyes again.
"Be back in a second!"
~*~
"HEY! Hey you! I'm calling you! WAIT A MINUTE!"
Yami ran up to the man, who had now stopped. Yami bent down the catch his
breath.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
"My name is Yami. Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Kazama."
"Listen, I really want that locket set you just bought for your wife. I heard
that you didn't really want it-"
"No, I don't think that Megumi will care for it, really. She'll think its
pretty then dump it with the countless other necklaces she already owns."
"Well, if you don't want it, can I have it? I'll pay you for it-"
"Double."
"Nani?
Double? You don't need the money!"
"I know." Kazama smirked.
"...Fine. Double. Just give me the necklace."
Kazama smirked and handed the bag over to Yami, who
checked that it was actually the right thing before handing the man double what
he had paid for it.
"A pleasure doing business with you Yami!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Yami grumbled as he set off towards home, now poor.
~*~
Yugi checked the clock...again.
"Yugi, it hasn't drastically changed in the past thirty seconds, you know." Yugi
smiled and blushed slightly, caught in the act.
"I know. But it has been a long time. I hope he's okay."
"He can take care of himself, you know. So Yugi..."
Jou was about to start up a conversation when Yugi spoke over him.
"But he would have called; I mean he doesn't even know that you're here. He
thinks I'm all alone-"
"Yugi. He wouldn't call, how would you answer? That would mean you getting up
out of bed."
Yugi sighed and went back to the movie. Jou also sighed and edged closer to
Yugi.
"So, Yugi-"
"Oh, I love this bit!"
Yugi smiled as his favourite part of the movie came on. They were watching
Labyrinth and it was nearly the ending scene, the part where Sarah has to
recite the words to the story.
Jou sighed and moved away again.
~*~
Yami was almost home, he was really not having a good day. Apart from the
argument and the gift fiasco, then having to walk back to the shop to get the
lockets engraved, and now his car had broken down, so he had to walk home.
And it was raining.
Grumbling he opened the door and threw his wet coat onto the table, shaking
excess water from his hair which had fallen out of its spikes and was now flat.
He ripped off his wet shirt exposing his tanned, muscular chest which had a
dragon tattoo, and went upstairs in search of a new shirt, not expecting to
come face to face with Jounouchi.
"What are you doing here?"
"Why are you topless?"
"It's raining, I got wet - I live here! Why shouldn't I?"
Jou smirked, but couldn't keep his eyes off Yami's exposed chest.
"Somebody had to keep Yugi company. And since it
wasn't you..."
Yami sent Jou a death glare, before turning and walking into his and Yugi's
bedroom.
"Jou, don't even start. Yugi's mine now, he doesn't want you, so get over him."
Yami slammed the bedroom door shut and Jou could hear Yugi, once upset now just
happy that Yami was home from inside.
He turned and walked down the stairs and out into the rain, 'borrowing' Yami's
jacket since it was already wet.
