"Aibou, NO!"
Yuugi gritted his teeth as he pulled on Yami's shirt as hard as he could. Said Pharaoh was currently clinging to the front door of the Kame Game Shop, fighting against his hikari's grip. The two continued struggling, Yuugi growing impatient, and Yami still staying stubborn. Yuugi then blinked as he saw Bakura and Ryou approach them, Ryou's face radiant and Bakura smirked casually at the amethyst eyed boy who's Pharaoh had run back into the Game Shop to be safe. Knowing Bakura, Yuugi knew that the once Tomb Robber was planning to aggravate Yami somehow.
And what better way than to annoy the Pharaoh with his insane fear of doctors, which had run down even to Egyptian times. (High Priest Seth had had a hell of a time making inane jokes about the almighty Pharaoh's fear of the healer, who, by the way, was an 80 year old man who could barely tell if his patient was a man or a woman)
Bakura had overheard his hikari's conversation with Yuugi over the phone and therefore had obtained the knowledge of Yuugi's current predicament. He smirked as he prepared himself to come face to face with Yami, who would surely hit the roof in anger.
"He still won't come out?" Ryou whispered to his best friend. Yuugi hung his head low.
"No," he whispered back.
Bakura stepped forward and barked, "Oi, so the 'almighty' Pharaoh still can't take a little visit to the doctors? How pathetic." Yuugi's face paled as Ryou slapped his yami's arm. Bakura smirked again, holding up three fingers.
'What's he up to?' Yuugi wondered.
"Three," Bakura counted, placing down one finger.
Ryou hung his head.
"Two."
Another finger down.
"One."
As if on cue, Yami burst out of the Game Shop, red face with fury. Yuugi jumped back, nearly knocked over by Yami's sudden arrival from inside the store. He groaned as he droned out the loud insults, in both Japanese and Egyptian, that echoed throughout the neighborhood. Ryou gave Yuugi an apologetic shrug and gently tugged at Bakura's sleeve.
"'Kura-chan," he said gently. All at once, Yami stopped, a wide and mischievous smirk growing on his face. Bakura, realizing what had just been said, slumped his shoulders and turned to face his hikari, who had covered his mouth.
"Aibou…" Bakura growled. Ryou smiled apologetically, secretly giving Yuugi the okay signal.
"Oops…"
* * *
Yami tapped his foot impatiently, determined not to show his nervousness. The sterile doctor's office was enough to make him shriek, but the tedious wait was even worse. Yuugi was reading a magazine happily, all the while listening to his CD player. The Pharaoh looked around, anxious to leave right away. THIS was YUUGI'S idea?? What was his aibou thinking?! Yami took a deep breath to relax, feeling silly for panicking. He only saw little children acting as scared as he was. But he was really glad that Yuugi was with him.
For whatever reason, he was very glad Seto hadn't seen any of this, or that he would ever know about it. (Oh gee, I wonder why…)
Yami noticed that Yuugi had set down the magazine and was gently strumming his slender fingers on the hand-rest of the chair. Yami watched him curiously, noticing the upbeat rhythm Yuugi was creating. From the doorway, a young nurse poked her head in and smiled, holding a chart.
"Mutou Yami?" she asked. Yuugi smiled at her and stood up, pulling Yami to his feet. He took a hold of the taller boy's hands and helped him up. Yami blushed at the soft skin that was pressed against his hands at that moment. The nurse smiled. "Mutou Yami, please come this way." Yuugi followed the nurse and Yami blushed again. Yuugi had registered Yami as 'Mutou'? His thoughts, though, were interrupted as the nurse asked him to step up on the scale. He did so and waited for the nurse to weigh him. Yuugi noticed the perplexed look on the young woman's face and snickered.
The chart read that Yami was 17. But he barely weighed 100 pounds. Yami noticed this and groaned inwardly.
'I really need to eat more' he mused.
* * *
"Ah well, this is just a simple allergy. How you can be allergic to every flower, now that's a mystery!" the doctor laughed. Yuugi smiled and looked up at his yami, who had a thermometer in his mouth. The Pharaoh looked down at the tube, itching to pull it out. For a second, his eyes crossed, causing Yuugi to laugh. The doctor didn't notice, as he was out of the room for the moment. A nurse came in and took the thermometer out of Yami's mouth, then recording the temperature. She picked up the chart and bowed at the two of them.
"The doctor will come with a shot to give you for the time being, and then you may leave," she informed them, leaving the room. Yami's face paled.
"SHOT?" he cried. Yuugi gave him a wry smile.
"I didn't know. I'm sorry," he apologized. Yami groaned, resting his elbows on his legs and setting his chin atop his hands. As he sat on the hospital bed, he noticed that his feet still didn't even touch the ground, and that the step-up addition had been pulled out for him to step down and get back on the bed. Absent mindedly, he kicked the metal bed with the back of his foot. The door clicked open and the doctor came in with a small silver tray, and a small syringe placed on it. A bottle of medication, iodine, a cotton ball, and a band-aid were sitting there as well. Yami's ruby colored eyes paled as he gulped.
"All right Mutou-san, raise your sleeve please," the doctor asked kindly. Yami shook his head, but before he could protest, Yuugi jumped up and raised the sleeve of the navy blue jacket and exposed Yami's arm. At once, goose-bumps poked out on Yami's skin, half from the cold of the air conditioning, and because Yuugi rested his warm hand atop Yami's cold arm. The doctor moistened the cotton ball and gently swabbed at the area where he would prick the ancient Pharaoh. Once that was done, the doctor grabbed the syringe and put in the medication into the syringe. He grabbed Yami's arm and slowly inserted the needle into his skin. Yami bit his bottom lip, the needle now inserted into his arm. He then felt pressure as the doctor pushed the medication into his body.
Within a few moments, the needle was taken out, and a band-aid now dressed the area where the needle had been. Yami knew there would be a bruise there, and was careful to note NOT to tell Bakura where it would be. (Obvious attempts to poke the tender area would more than likely be made if the knowledge was known).
"The medicine should be able to control your sneezing for the time being," the doctor said, writing a prescription. "But for now, just take it easy and try not to go out into the garden." Yuugi nodded and thanked the doctor, taking the prescription. The two boys left the doctor's office and headed home.
"See Yami, that wasn't so bad!" Yuugi chirped. Yami grumbled, rubbing his arm. "We'll get your medicine later today. But right now, I'm starved, so let's go home and eat some lunch!" Yuugi smiled up at his darker self, who blinked. The smaller of the two laughed and gently hugged Yami's arm before letting go and walking on ahead. Yami smiled momentarily, before hurrying on to catch up to his aibou.
* * *
Yami sat lazily as he flipped through the channels at home. Yuugi was in the kitchen, preparing their lunch, and Yami was bored as ever. He heard his small hikari bounce around cheerily in the kitchen, the small boy once in a while humming a small song. Sighing, Yami stood up and stretched, yawning slightly and heading towards the kitchen. He stopped short, however, when he heard his small hikari singing softly in the small room. Yuugi had his CD player clipped on the waistband of his pants, his sweater sleeves rolled up.
The Pharaoh smiled at the cute sight, listening attentively to his aibou, who was unaware that Yami was watching him.
"Futari ga kitto deaeru yona mahou o kakete," Yuugi sang softly, still not noticing that Yami was watching him attentively. "Ryote wo sotto kasanete hora hohoemu kara. Honto no kimochi kizukanai furi shite. Totsuzen futari--*," Yuugi spun around and spotted his other self, who was watching him with his eyebrows raised. With a sparkle in his eye, Yuugi danced over to Yami and took the Pharaoh's hands in his own. Yami blinked, feeling utterly confused.
"Aibou, wha-?"
"--koi ni ochita no," Yuugi smiled. Yami blushed brightly, confused by his aibou's sudden behavior. Not that he minded holding Yuugi's hand of course. "Let me be with you," Yuugi continued to sing. "Let me be with you…Let me be with you." Yuugi pulled away, going over to the cupboards and taking out plates and cups for the two of them. Sugoroku was gone for the week on a retreat with Arthur Hopkins, and Rebecca, who was attending a university because of her genius, stayed with a few students on campus until her grandfather returned. Yami walked back into the living room and stared out the window for a few moments, still hearing Yuugi singing in the kitchen.
Yami stared down, realizing that his growing feelings for Yuugi were getting a little bit out of hand. Yuugi was becoming a very large part of his heart, and now all he wanted to do was confess the truth and have Yuugi tell him that he loves him. Without warning, Yami suddenly felt two arms wrap around his middle from behind, and felt Yuugi press his head against Yami's back. The Pharaoh raised his arms slightly from the surprise, but then gently set his hands atop Yuugi's. He barely noticed, however, that Yuugi was still singing.
"Dakishimetai noni*," Yuugi said softly, not sure if he was just singing, or if he really meant it. Yami's eyes grew kind, as he turned around in with Yuugi's arms and gently held the small boy. The amethyst-eyed angel smiled as he returned the hug once again, forgetting all about lunch and just enjoying the feeling of Yami's arms around him, holding him tightly. Yuugi's small arms wound their way up, holding Yami even tighter. Though he still was confused over new feelings that he was experiencing for his other half, there was nothing he loved more than to just have Yami hug him tightly.
"Yuugi." Yuugi heard Yami breathe softly. The small boy threw all logic out the window and sighed. The song playing in his CD player had long since ended, but Yuugi continued, subconsciously knowing what he was saying, but not caring.
"Let me be with you."

Translations:
*Casting a spell that will make sure they meet.
They place their hands atop one another's and see, they smile.
Pretending not to realize their true feelings.
And the two suddenly fall in love.
*I want to embrace only you.
