Chapter 5: To the Mall!

See previous chapters for the disclaimer.

Yugi's P.O.V.

I picked Yami up and carried him to the kitchen. I then sat him on the table. "What would you like for breakfast?" I asked

"Pancakes!" he cried happily. I smile to myself. It's wonderful to see Yami like this; without a care in the world.

"Alright, pancakes it is then," I agreed and got out everything necessary to make pancakes. I wonder how long he'll be like this and if he will remember anything when he's back to normal. I don't want to tell him that I love him if he isn't going to remember. "Pancakes are ready!" I called. Yami lowered himself into a chair and I placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. I sat down with my own plate of pancakes. As we eating , I looked at Yami and remarked, "You do realize that we're going have to go shopping today. You only have one outfit that fits."

Yami nodded, looking a bit resigned. I saw right though, Yami only had his clothes from yesterday to wear. We had no idea how long he was going to be like this. We finished breakfast and I washed the maple syrup from his face. Yami didn't fuss as much as he had yesterday. He's definitely acting more chibi-like. I carried Yami upstairs to my room. I gave him the clothes he'd worn yesterday and I turned my back to him to give him some privacy. "Ready to go?" I asked when we had finished dressing. Yami nodded and held his arms up. That surprised me; yesterday Yami had gotten upset over being carried. When I picked him up, he curled into my hold, which amazed me. I grabbed my wallet and exited the game shop. I carried Yami over to the bus stop and waited for the next bus. About five minutes later, the bus pulled up. I scooped Yami up and we boarded the bus.

It took us fifteen minutes to reach the mall. We got off the bus and entered the mall. Where to start? I looked around and spotted an Old Navy. Perfect. I headed for the store; Yami dozing in my arms. I gently shook him awake. Yami blinked and looked at me with sleep-filled ruby eyes.

"I need you to be awake for this, okay?" I told him. Yami nodded, resting his head against my shoulder. I walked over to the boys' section.

Yami's P.O.V.

Yugi and I boarded the bus for the mall. After a while, we got there. Yugi carried me into the building. I didn't notice much – I was half asleep in Yugi's warm arms. He gently shook me awake. "I need you to be awake for this, okay?" he said, I nodded, resting my head on Yugi's shoulder. Yugi entered a store and headed over to the boys' section.

"Do you see anything you like?" Yugi asked. I scanned the area and saw a navy blues t-shirt with a red and gold dragon on the front. I pointed to it. Yugi walked over to the rack and picked up the smallest tee that he could find. After that we selected some jeans in black and dark blue, a red shirt with the words 'Coolest guy ever' written on it, a plain black tee, some socks, and some underwear. Yugi paid for it and carried me and the bag out of the store. I enjoyed being in Yugi's arms; I felt safe, warm, and happy in there.

"Where to next." Yugi mumbled. I knew he wasn't talking to me but was thinking out loud. Yugi headed for another shop, Children's Place, I think. He picked out two shirts; one purple with 'I do my own stunts' written across the front, the other was pale blue with the word 'Smile. It confuses people.' On it. After that, we went to Payless for sneakers. I picked out a white pair with flames on the sides. As Yugi paid for the sneakers my stomach informed me that it was in need of food.

"Yugi?" I questioned.

"Yes, Yami?"

"I'm hungry."

"Okay, we'll go to Friendly's; it's right downstairs."

"Otay."
