Hey everyone! Yeah, the three of us - Alex, Crystal, and I were going to wait till next Monday to update or something since we were going to be visiting our dad in Virginia since he's down here for work, but it turns out he has Microsoft Word on his laptop, and that made us all happy. We only use Microsoft word. Oh, yes. Crystal made this story here but she didn't like how she was writing it and so I agreed to re-make it for her. The only chapters I will leave to be the same just about, will be chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Enjoy.

(AN: Author Notes - If any)

Yugi sighed softly as he lay on his belly on his bed in his room. His eyes were half open and full of misery…

Why did I do such a thing?… He hates me now, I just know it.

Yugi whimpered and buried his face into his pillow. He couldn't take all of this anymore… but what could he do? Just go downstairs and talk to Yami and the others? No way… he couldn't face them all. He just couldn't.

I hate this… my life is ruined and will be messed up forever… I should just disappear…

That's when something clicked inside of Yugi's mind. An idea came into his mind… a bad one to be exact.

I'll run away from home… from everyone. It's best this way. No one will notice I'm gone… no they won't.

And so, Yugi got up from laying on his bed and went to his closet, grabbing a light backpack, and went to his dresser afterwards to get ready…

Yami sighed softly as he sat there at the kitchen table, his arms crossed, with his chin resting on top of them. He couldn't get the images out of his mind. Yugi kissing him and then trying to commit suicide… He shook his head softly, before closing his eyes and sighing.

Why aibou? Why would you do such a thing like this? Try to kill yourself…?

Yami was so scared right now… so worried about his little light. He'd give anything in the world just to see his aibou smile again.

Yami sighed again, letting his eyes open half way again. It was at this time, Kenji came into the kitchen and looked at Yami sadly.

"You ok, Yami?"

Yami blinked and glanced up to Kenji as she stood there before him. Yami shook his head softly before sitting up straight and stretching somewhat.

Kenji smiled softly. "You know… I think you should go and talk to Yugi, try to sort all of this out."

Yami blinked again and stared at Kenji for a moment. He then shook his head again.

"I don't know… he wouldn't talk to me when we were at the hospital… what do you think will make him talk now?"

Kenji sighed. "You never know unless you try, Yami. Life is about taking risks and you need to talk to him more then ever. If you never do, he might be miserable like this forever."

Yami sighed again, before letting his cheek rest in his palm, as his elbow was propped up on the kitchen table. Kenji smiled sadly and took a seat next to Yami at the table. She let her hand rest against Yami's shoulder before patting it softly.

"You must talk to him…"

"I know… but what if he still won't talk to me about what drove him to commit suicide? He scared me to death… if he were dead… I would've been in a grave next to his…"

Kenji shook her head.

"Don't say that Yami… Yugi's fine and he just needs to have a little talk with you, that's all. Now go on… go talk to him, alright?"

Yami nodded softly before standing up, still looking to Kenji.

"Alright… I shall go talk with him… I just hope he will open up to me…"

Kenji smiled and stood up herself. "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Yami nodded again and gave a soft smile before heading out of the kitchen and made his way up the stairs and to Yugi's bedroom.

Yugi sighed softly as he finished packing and finished the run away letter, placing it on top of his desk. He went and walked to his bedroom door, grasping the doorknob, and turned it – opening the door to leave, but to find Yami standing there, his hand midway in the air, which he was about to open the door himself. They both blinked and stared at each other for awhile. Yami was the first to snap out of their staring contest and noticed the bag Yugi had with him.

"Where are you going?"

Yugi blinked and then remembered what his plan was, before tucking the bag behind him and shook is head.

"N-nothing…"

Yami frowned. "You're lying, aibou… why won't you tell me what's wrong?"

Yugi frowned and looked away. "I'm fine… really…"

Yami sighed and shook his head. He grasped one of Yugi's wrists and pulled him into his room, shutting the door behind them. He then led them both over to Yugi's bed and sat down, letting go of Yugi's wrist and patted the seat next to him. Yugi hesitated before finally dropping the bag from behind him on the floor and sat down next to Yami. Yami reached his arm around Yugi's waist and pulled him a bit closer to himself. Yugi blushed softly at this action, which Yami caught.

"Aibou…"

Yugi looked up to Yami, blushing more, then looked away. He was too nervous to look his yami right in the eyes. Yami frowned and sighed softly before glancing away from his hikari for a moment to think before talking…

But his eyes caught something resting on the desk that was there in Yugi's room. Yami blinked and picked up the letter that Yugi had written and left there earlier, and read it silently to himself. It was when Yugi heard a soft gasp come from his yami's throat, that he looked and saw him reading his letter. Yugi's eyes grew wide and he grabbed the letter away from Yami and tucked it away in his pants pocket. Yami slowly brought his gaze to Yugi – whom kept his eyes looking away from those crimson orbs of Yami's.

"Yugi…"

Yugi shook his head and kept looking away. He didn't want to say anything nor look at those eyes he loved so much of his yami's.

"Aibou… why were you going to run away? Why would you think that we would be better off without you? I would be miserable without you, my aibou."

Yugi shook his head again.

"You're just saying that…"

Yami blinked, somewhat taken aback. "What are you saying? That I would just let you leave? That I would not think of you more then just a charge? Yugi…" Yami grasped his light in his arms and pulled him into a tight and comforting hug. "I care so much for you, Yugi… you don't know how depressed and scared I'd be without you, little one…"

Yugi blushed softly as his yami hugged him so tightly and said such caring words. Did he really mean that, or was he just saying it to keep him around to use later? Yugi sighed softly and buried his face into Yami's shoulder. Yami couldn't help himself – but he reached his hand up and stroked Yugi's tri-colored hair.

"Please tell me, little one…"

"Because… I kissed you… and you h-hate me now…"

Yami blinked softly, staring down at the soft form.

"Why?"

"Because I kissed you…"

Yami shook his head. "No… why did you think I'd hate you just because you kissed me?"

Yugi blinked slowly and brought his face up to gaze into Yami's hansom crimson orbs.

"I-I kissed you… I never stop to think once if you liked me… or even other males for that matter…"

Yami shook his head again and patted the back of his light's head. There was a bit of an awkward silence between the two of them for a few moments. Soon afterwards, Yami broke that silence.

"Aibou?"

"Hai…?"

"Kiss me again…"

Yugi almost fell over as he heard these words fall from his darker half's lips.

"E-excuse me?"

Yami smiled a rare smile.

"Kiss me."

Yugi blushed furiously at this.

"Why?"

Yami pouted. "Don't you want to kiss me again?"

"Of course I do!"

Yugi blushed even more as he realized he blurted that part out loud in front of his yami. Yami smirked and held his aibou close to him and nuzzled his soft pale cheek. Yugi couldn't help but giggle so cutely. Then, again with another awkward silence… Yugi and Yami stared at each other. Yugi was deciding within himself if he should really kiss Yami again or not.

Why am I wondering about this? He just asked me too kiss him! Well… what if he'd just testing me to see if I'm not really a pervert or something?

Yami raised a brow at Yugi, wondering if his little light was okay or not. He raised a thumb up to his hikari's cheek and rubbed it softly, causing the small teen to come out of his thoughts and blush a deep crimson color. Yami chuckled at this sight and leaned forward, kissing Yugi's cheek after removing his thumb.

Yugi was surprised at his yami's actions.

"Y-yami?"

Yami tilted his head slightly to the side, raising a brow a bit.

"Hai, aibou?"

"Do you… l-like me?" Yugi blushed even more. If he were to blush more, his face would look like a ripe tomato.

Yami smiled and chuckled softly and kissed his cheek again before nodding. "Yes… I do like you, Yugi. I like you even more… I love you."
