Yami sat in his car, driving to pick up Rave. He was excited to see her and spend time with her but his mind was preoccupied with Yugi. He was acting so strange and he wouldn't explain anything about it. Yami was getting a little worried about him. He pulled into Rave's driveway and sat in his car for a moment.
-If I keep thinking about Yugi, I won't pay attention to Rave, and this is her night.- He told himself.
Nodding firmly, he climbed out of the car and walked up to her door. Before he could even raise his hand to knock, the door opened and Rave barreled out and kissed him full on the lips. Yami was startled but it didn't take him long to wrap his arms around her and return the passionate embrace. When Rave finally pulled away, Yami was out of breath. He smiled down at her and brushed her bangs from her eyes.
"What was that for?" He asked.
She shrugged. "I just felt it would be good if we got that out of the way in the beginning to we can enjoy the rest of the date without worrying about the 'goodnight kiss'." She winked and strolled to his car.
Yami shook his head and followed her with a chuckle. She was definitely unique. He slid into the drivers seat just as she was buckling her seat belt. He smiled at her and started the car.
"So where are we going?" She asked as he pulled out of the drive.
"Well, we'd already decided on dinner, but after that I have a surprise for you." He winked.
She grinned. "Ooo a surprise? What is it?"
"Well if I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise." He chuckled.
Rave continued pestering him about the surprise until they pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant.
"You can wait till after we eat." Yami said finally as they walked up to the door.
She sighed and resigned to her fate. The dinner was pleasant enough and they even got to participate in the birthday song for a boy in the table next to theirs. After Yami paid, they climbed back into his car and Rave continued her pestering.
"Where are we going?" She asked as soon as Yami closed his door.
He laughed and pulled out of the parking lot without answering. Rave huffed and crossed her arms over her chest in a pout. Yami smirked as he drove them through town. When he finally pulled up to his destination, Rave nearly screamed her excitement.
"Dancing? You're taking me dancing?" She giggled staring up at the neon lights of the club.
Yami nodded and pulled her out of the car and into his arms. "Are you happy?"
"Totally!" She said and dragged Yami inside the doors of the club.
Yami was surprised just how well Rave could dance…and how long. His feet were screaming by the time she mentioned getting tired. Yami jumped at her suggestion to sit down for a while. They walked over to a small couch in a darkened corner where several couples were locked in passionate embraces. Yami smirked at them and turned to Rave. She was practically glowing with sweat and yet she still looked beautiful.
Yami briefly wondered if that's what she would look like after sex. He shook his head violently, shoving the idea out of his head. He mustn't think such things. He wrapped his arms around her and she nuzzled her nose into his neck. The touch sent electric bolts through his body. She must have felt the same thing because she pulled back and looked at him.
"You know…maybe we should go back to my place. My roommates won't be back for another couple of hours." She hinted.
Yami smiled seductively and stroked her soft hair. "Hmm, sounds like a plan." He lifted her into his arms and carried her through the club receiving many ooo's and ahh's as he did. The drive home too less time than Yami had anticipated. Perhaps because he was busy thinking about what lay ahead…or perhaps it was because he was busy thinking about what lay ahead and driving like a bat out of hell to get to it. Either way, Yami and Rave were soon locked in each others arms, trying desperately to get to the front door.
Rave was struggling with the key in her pocket while simultaneously trying to run her fingers through Yami's hair. She finally managed to pull the key in and shove it into the keyhole. The door swung open and Yami barely remembered to pull the key out and throw it on the floor before he slammed it shut and pushed Rave up against it. He led a trail of kisses down her neck causing her to moan. Feeling encouraged, he lowered himself to his knees and lifted her shirt just enough to reveal her toned stomach. He trailed kisses across her delicate skin, slowly moved up and taking her shirt with him.
Rave's skin was on fire with every touch. She could barely contain her moans of pleasure as she ran her fingers through Yami's hair. Yami had finally removed her shirt and was kissing her lips again when he felt himself being pushed. Rave pushed him away and swung him around so quickly he wasn't sure where he was until she pressed herself against him and he realized his back was at the door now.
Wanting to return the favor, Rave trailed kisses down Yami's neck and slowly began to unbutton his shirt as her lips fell lower. Yami moaned and closed his eyes, letting the feelings wash over him. He couldn't believe how wonderful he felt. Yugi had never said anything about this being part of a normal relationship in this time. Yami's eyes suddenly shot open. He could feel Rave beginning to open his pants and he gasped.
-This is Yugi's body…- his mind screamed. –I can't do this is Yugi's body!-
Did you call me Yami? Yugi spoke.
Yami nearly fainted. He didn't realize that in his thoughts he was calling Yugi into his consciousness.
"No I didn't…" Yami muttered and Rave paused in her assault to look up at him.
"What did you say, Yami?"
Yami, finally free of the torment from Rave, let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding in.
"Rave…I'm sorry but…but I have to go." He began buttoning his shirt again and Rave stood up.
"Did…did I do something wrong?" She asked.
Yami shook his head as he shakily tried to fasten his pants. "N-no. I just…I just remembered that my brother…I…I have to go."
Rave nodded but she seemed worried. Yami tried his best to smile at her and gave her a small kiss on the forehead.
"I'll call you…probably tomorrow." He said.
She nodded and wrapped her arms around her naked stomach for warmth as Yami ran out the front door and sped off in his car. Yami rubbed his temples as he drove home, trying desperately to shake off the arousal before he got home. He walked into the apartment and went straight to a desk. He pulled the Millennium Puzzle from around his neck and set the tip on the table. With practiced ease, he spun the puzzle like a top and suddenly he felt himself being sucked inside it.
When he opened his eyes, he was standing in a giant maze and Yugi was sitting before him.
"Yami?" Yugi stood. "What's wrong? What are you doing?"
Yami walked over to Yugi and sat next to him on the grass. "Yugi…I think we need to talk. And I just thought it would be better if we did it in person."
Yugi blinked and nodded. "Alright. What is it?"
Yami sighed and leaned back against the maze wall. "I…I nearly slept with Rave tonight."
Yugi's eyes widened. "R-really?"
Yami nodded and looked over at Yugi. "I…I stopped because I…I realized something."
Yugi listened, curious.
"This is your body. I…I can't do that to you're body."
Yugi blushed and looked down. "It's your body too Yami."
Yami shook his head. "No…I invaded it. It's yours." He sighed and laid his head back.
"Well…" Yugi swallowed and Yami looked at him. "Since we're…telling stuff…" Yugi felt his forehead break out into a sweat. "I…I kinda got close…to…well, you know…with Corin."
Yami's eyes widened and he sat up. "Corin? But he's a…" He stared at Yugi for a long while before smiling. "So…you're gay."
Yugi blushed and nodded.
Yami chuckled. "Why didn't you tell me, Yugi?"
Yugi shrugged. "I…I didn't want you to disapprove."
Yami sighed and leaned forward to lay a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I wouldn't disapprove. There's nothing wrong with that." He smiled at Yugi. "And if Corin is what you want…then I'm happy for you."
Yugi looked up at him. "Really?"
Yami nodded but then his face fell.
"Well, now I think we have a real problem."
Yugi nodded. "You're in love with Rave…and I'm…" he blushed and Yami nodded.
"What should we do?" Yami asked.
Yugi sat still. He had no idea. This was never in the handbooks. He looked up at Yami and smiled with more confidence than he felt. "Well, we'll just have to see what happens. Who knows, we may not be in love. This could just be a fling."
Yami raised a brow. "So?"
"So, if we're not really in love, then it doesn't matter all that much. We can just…go on living like we have been."
Yami leaned back with his arms crossed over his chest. "And if it is love?"
Yugi shrugged. "We can deal with that when it comes." He stood up. "But until we know for sure, I don't think we should worry about it."
Yami nodded and stood up. "I suppose you're right."
The two exchanged a long look of confusion and blind trust.
"Well…" Yami said. "It's late. Let's get some sleep."
