Chapter 3

Disclaimer: Oh f the disclaimer. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh and I never will.

To Yami's Wife: yes, a chibi is like a toddler. Yami's about 2 to 3 yrs. old physically.

Yami's P.O.V.

We finished lunch and Yugi cleaned up the mess we had made. He picked me up and cleaned off my face. I was extremely upset about it but I couldn't help but feel happy that someone was there to look after me. When he had finished Yugi asked "How about we play a game?"

"Okay," I replied. Yugi started looking around for a game we could play.

"Connect Four all right with you Yami?"

"Just fine with me." I responded. He took out the game and set it up on the living room floor. We played for several hours. I immensely enjoyed playing. For some reason I always enjoy a game more when Yugi's playing. Yugi put the game away when we had finished playing. He then asked "Yami there's a slow on Ancient Egypt that's starting in a few minutes; do you want to watch it?"

"Sure!" I called. Something wasn't right; why was I getting so excited by watching TV? It's something that I do often. I watched as Yugi turned on the television and put on the correct channel. He sat down on the couch and I toddled over. I pulled myself up onto the couch and sat next to Yugi. As we were watching the show, I curled up on Yugi's lap and snuggled with him. I felt extremely peaceful and contented. I didn't realize it but I was sucking my thumb. (Say it with me now: Aaaaawwwww.)

Yugi's P.O.V.

I turned on the television and set it to the correct channel. I sat down on the couch and Yami toddled on over He pulled himself up onto the couch and sat next to me. As we were watching the show, he curled up on my lap and snuggled with me. In all the time I've known him, he's never snuggled with me before. As I watched him suck his thumb, I knew that I loved him. As the show ended, I asked " Are you tired? You're going to have to stop sucking your thumb if you're going to answer."

I saw the surprise in his eyes; he hadn't realized that he was sucking his thumb before I had said anything. "Yes," he said in a tired, sleepy, little voice. I picked him up and carried him to my room. I sat him on my bed and started looking for something Yami could sleep in. I finally found and old t-shirt of my mine that would fit him. I gave it to him and started to change into my pajamas. Once I had finished changing I checked to see if Yami was done and he was. I carried him to his and tucked him into bed. I closed the door behind me and headed back to my room. I removed the Puzzles from around my neck and placed them on the nightstand next to my bed. I pulled back the covers and climbed into bed. A few minutes later the door opened and Yami came in. "What's the matter the Yami?" I questioned.

"I'm scared; may I sleep with you?" he asked timidly. So, that was it; he was afraid of the dark. I never would have guessed that he was afraid of the dark as a chibi. I might've laughed but I could see that fear in his eyes.

"Sure, get in," I said as I patted the spot next to me. Yami got in and curled up beside me. Soon he was fast asleep. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
