Pairings: Seto x Jounouchi, Yugi x Yami, Ryou x Bakura, Malik x Marik


Everyone sat there in the living room, knowing Yami had gone up to talk to Yugi, to find out what was going on. They didn't except it to take so long…

Lee Anne sighed, her arms crossed over her chest. "I hope they get down here soon. I'm just about to go up there and ram the door down myself."

Kenji placed a soft hand on her hikari's shoulder, with a light smile. "It'll be alright, Annie – just you wait and see."

Everyone blinked at the sudden nickname.

"Annie?" Jounouchi said with a smug grin.

Lee Anne threw a couch pillow at him. "Shut up…"

"Gah!" Jounouchi ducked, the pillow just barely missing his head by inches. He'd glare at Lee Anne before sticking his tongue out at her. Lee Anne would soon copy him.

"Now, now. Play nice kids."

Both Lee Anne and Jounouchi shot glares in Alex's direction.

"Look whose talking, mister 12 year old!"

Alex glared back at the two and made a face at his sister.

There was a soft cough nearby the stairs. Everyone turned, right at the same time, to see what or who it was that made the noise.

Yugi smiled softly. "Hey guys…"

Everyone's heart filled up with joy as the smile on Yugi's face had appeared. Jounouchi literately jumped up and pounced his best bud into a hug.

"YUG! Oh man, I was so worried about cha, Yug! We all were."

Yugi squeaked softly as Jounouchi began to hug him tightly.

"Jou… Air, can't …breathe!"

Jounouchi blushed faintly and let go of his friend. He smiled and gave a nervous chuckle.

"Sorry, bud."

Yugi smiled once he got his breath back. "It's alright, Jou."

"Yugi!" Now it was Lee Anne's turn to tackle the young teen over in a hug… literately.

"Eep!" Yugi fell backwards, Lee Anne landing beside him, with her arms wrapped around his neck, in a hugging position.

"You scare me shitless! Don't EVER do that again! Oh, I'm glad you're fine by the way."

Lee Anne gave a sweet smile after her 'comforting' words. Yugi sweatdropped and laughed nervously, before standing up and helping Lee Anne on her way up too.

Yami chuckled and brought Yugi back into his own warm embrace. Yugi giggled and cuddled into the strong arms that belonged to his yami.

Everyone smiled.

"So you two finally told each other?"

Yami and Yugi both blinked before their mouths dropped.

"You knew?" They both exclaimed.

Crystal chuckled. "Of course, it was so obvious. You two love birds, always glancing at the other when they weren't looking. You two blushing whenever you cause even slightly brush your hands together. You-"

"Okay. We get it." Yami said, sweatdropping.

Crystal grinned at the two. "You asked."

Yugi smiled as he glanced up at Yami. "You know she's right."

Yami sighed softly. "I know.. hey. Whose side are you on?"

Yugi meeped as Yami suddenly gave him a tickle attack. Yugi gave out fits of laughter as Yami smirked.

"I'm on your side, I'm on your side! I give u-up!" Yugi said in between his laughter.

Yami chuckled and soon let his hikari go from 'wrath'. The two of them would calm down quickly.

"Seriously now. You really did give us a scare, Yugi." Ryou was the first to speak up after the awkward silence.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yugi frowned and let his head drop down slowly. "I'm so sorry guys… I didn't mean to cause so much drama for you all.."

Yugi couldn't help the tears from not rolling down his soft and pale cheeks. Yami frowned as he sensed the sadness in his hikari's tone and aura. Yami let his thumb wipe away his aibou's tears.

"It's alright tsuyayaka tenshi."

"Yugi…"

Yugi glanced over to where the voice that addressed to him was. It had come from Yue.

Yue smiled softly. "Yugi.. You've could've come and talked to me while you were in this phase. Believe it our not, but I once was in this sort of dilemma."

Everyone besides Alex, Crystal, Lee Anne, Motosuke, and Kenji blinked in shock.

"Y-you did?" Yugi managed to ask.

Yue nodded before continuing. "Yes… When I realized I had feelings for Alex here, I soon being scared because I thought Alex liked girls and only girls. My frighten feelings soon turned into depression. I never would talk to anyone, make eye contact with anyone, nothing. I myself tried to commit suicide by stabbing myself with a kitchen knife, but Kenji caught me in time to save me. She and I sat down and I told her what was happening. She just smiled and told me to take a chance. She told me I would never know unless I tried. And if Alex didn't like me, it wasn't the end of the world."

Yugi stared at Yue. He couldn't believe that he had tried to kill himself as well as he did… This is Yue we're talking about!

Yue smiled. "Life is about taking chances, Yugi. You mustn't kill yourself over them. And you also must think to yourself, It's not what if he doesn't return your feelings…" Yue wrapped his arms around Alex's waist and chuckled. "It's what you should do when the other does return your feelings."

Yami smiled and looked down at his Aibou. Yugi glanced up at Yami smiling.

"You're absolutely right, Yue."

Yami smiled and kissed the top of Yugi's forehead. Everyone else watched the two, smiling at them.

"Everything is fine now." Yugi breathed out with a soft smile. He was so happy that it was.

The room was filled with sighs of relief. Everything was okay now. Back to normal.

"I'm so glad to hear that."

Everyone blinked at the new voice. They all turned their attentions to the entrance to the kitchen. Yugi smiled.

"Yes, I'm so sorry for what I've done, Grandpa."

Yugi's grandfather smiled. "It's alright my boy. I'm glad you're feeling better now. But I must admit you nearly gave me a heart attack when I found out from Alex when you tried to kill yourself."

Yugi chuckled softly and ran up to his grandpa, giving him a hug. Yugi's grandfather hugged him back.

"I promise nothing like this will ever happen again, grandpa. I promise."

"That's good, my boy."

"Hey Yug!"

Yugi glanced at Jounouchi.

"Yes?"

Jounouchi grinned.

"Why don't we all go to da Arcade and have some fun? You should relax and have fun, you've been through a lot bud."

Yugi smiled brightly. He was so lucky to have Jounouchi as his best friend.

"Hai. I like that idea."

"Yay! Video Games!" Alex and Lee Anne both cheered at the same time.

Everyone laughed. Lee Anne and Alex were the King and Queen when it came to Video Games. They were such freaks.

Everyone grabbed their coats and they all headed out, to go to the Arcade. They were first going to stop at Seto's because Jounouchi wanted to get his boyfriend out of that office of his.

Yugi watched as Ryou and Bakura had an arm wrapped around the other, and then Malik and Marik both had one arm wrapped around the other's waist.

Yugi smiled and glanced at Yami as they walked on the sidewalk. He softly took one of Yami's hands in his own. Yami blinked and looked at Yugi, soon smiling. He gently squeezed Yugi's hand, smirking at him. Yugi giggled.

Everything was fine…
