Heeello again! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, I really appreciate them! Thanks for the ideas, I used them as much as I can! Thanks yet again! Cookies to ya all!

Just one little heads up for Aifos; About you plan, I'll most certainly help you! Just tell me when and witch volcano, and I'll be there!

Also, as I have told you several times, I will bash Anzu in this fic. And maybe she doesn't match to the manga/Anime, but hey, this is fiction! –sigh- and I hate Anzu, I absolutely LOATH her, so don't try to make me like her in any way, 'cause that'll never happen!

To you who tells me that she isn't like I describe her in this fic, it is a part of the plot. Just remember that, 'kay?

So, if this offend you, don't, I repeat, don't read this fic!

Let's get the story started!

Disclaimer: I own nothing concerning Yu-Gi-Oh, so please don't bug me about it!

–glares at lawyers poking me with sticks-

Pairings: Yugi/Yami is the main one. But also, Seto/Jou, Ryou/Bakura and Honda/Otogi.

–sigh- also slight Anzu/Yami, but that is one sided.

Warnings: Boy/boy love, and also some OOC. Anzu bashing, but I try to keep it at a minimum. (Why does it feel like I've been through this sooo many times?)

Okay, now that that's done, let's get the story on the road!

Chapter 3 Mouto's game shop 19:50 Normal POV

"Yugi, can you please open the door? Aibou?"

Yami was met with a long silence. A deep sigh escaped from his mouth, and he leaned his forehead against the locked the door. Yugi had been in there since they'd come home, and he had refused to open the door, or talk too him trough the mind link. And the mind link was off, because Yugi had closed it.

Yami just couldn't understand it. What had he done to offend his hikari? In school, after about twenty minutes, he had been able to persuade Yugi to open the classroom door. But then Yugi had run away, and had then been avoiding him through the whole day.

When the school day was over, Yami had thought that the whole thing had passed. And, Yugi had been smiling to him, and walked alongside with him without any problems on their way home. Yami sighed. Until...

Flashback

"Yami! Yami, wait up!" Both boys turned around at the voice, and saw Anzu running up towards them. Yami glanced at Yugi, and, to his surprise, his hikari's eyes had darkened. He almost looked depressed.

Yami was about to ask him about it, when he found himself being attacked by an octopus. Or, well, that was his first thought. (Yami had never seen an octopus, other than some really scary pictures in the biology-books.)

But, it wasn't such a sea monster (unfortunately). No, it was Anzu who held her arms around his neck, in a crushing hug.

"Hi, Anzu." Yami choked out, and coughed. "Could you let go, I can't breath." Anzu smiled, and loosed her grip a little. Now, he could at least breath.

"Can you walk me home, please Yami?" Anzu begged and made a pair of, she thought, cute puppy-eyes. Yami thought he would throw up from her sweet tone.

He slowly shook his head, and made a fake sad look on his face. Oh yes, he was a great actor.

"Sorry, Anzu. I have to walk home with Yugi, and..." Here, Yugi interrupted him. Yugi looked at the ground, and his expression was unreadable. But Yami could see one emotion; hurt.

"No, you can go, Yami. I can make it home by myself." The short teen turned around, and, looking straight at the ground, walked away. Yami felt like his heart was torn in two, seeing his hikari looking so sad.


"Wait, Yugi, I..." But Yugi didn't stop. He did the opposite; he ran as fast as his legs could move him. And, even though they were short, Yugi's legs moved him very fast. Yami saw his hikari round the corner and disappear.

He now felt Anzu tug his arm, and he looked down at her. She smiled sweetly, and batted her eyelashes at him.

"Walk me home?"

End flashback

Of course, Yami had walked Anzu home. And hell was filled with ice-cubes, pigs were flying over London Bridge and Seto Kaiba was straight.

Anyway, when Yami came home, Grandpa had immediately asked him what was up with Yugi. 'The boy ran up to his room and slammed the door at the second he came home', had the old man said. 'Didn't even take off his shoes and jacket.'


And Yami had been outside the door for the whole time since then. Three hours. And through that whole time, Yami had pleaded for Yugi to open the door.

Yami knocked once again at the said door, even though his hands hurt.

"Yugi, please open the door. I want to know what's wrong , and..."

"GO AWAY!" Well, now he got an answer, at least. Not the answer he wanted, but it was an answer.

"Please, hikari? I'm worried about you-" A heart breaking sob was heard, and then a low snort.

"Are you worried because you have to?" Yami rose one eyebrow, and looked questioningly at the door.

"What are you talking about, aibou?" Yugi didn't answer.

Now, Yami was really worried. He had to get in there and see what was going on. But he couldn't get in through the door...

Yami ran down the stairs, and into the kitchen. Grandpa was making dinner, and he looked up from the vegetables when Yami came down. Yami smiled politely.

"Excuse me, but do you have a ladder?"

Ten minutes later, Yami climbed up an old and unsteady-looking ladder. It was leaned to the wall, right next to Yugi's window. Maybe a bit drastic, but hey, Yami was worried!

The ladder creaked under Yami's weight, even though he wasn't at all heavy. Yami swallowed heavily. "Don't look down, don't look down, don't look down..." That mantra passed his mind all the way up the ladder.

Soon, he came up to the window, and he sighed deeply, seeing that the blinds was down. Now he had to climb through the window through the curtains, risking to fall down hard on the ground below. Great.

Luckily for Yami, the window was already a little open, so all he had to do was to open it a little further in order to squeeze in. And so he did. The window creaked a little, and he stretched out his right leg to hook it around the window-sill.

With a huff, Yami took a hold with his hand on the edge of the window, and swung himself gracefully through the window.

Scratch the gracefully.

With a loud thump and an 'oomph', Yami fell into the room, and landed hard on the floor. He heard a loud 'eep!' from his right, and he looked up slightly. When he saw his hikari, he gasped and got up from the floor.

Yugi was laying on the bed, with his head up to stare at him. His cheeks were soaked with tears. And his eyes, his beautiful violet eyes, was filled with many different emotions; confusion, fright, a tiny hint of amusement. But the feeling most visible was sorrow.

Yami quickly rose from the floor and brushed of some dust from his clothes.

"You should clean the floor soon, hikari." He said, hoping to make Yugi relax a little.

Wasn't working.

The short boy flew up to his feet and glared at Yami.

"Why are you here? I thought I told you to stay out!" Yami sighed and looked at Yugi with caring eyes.

"Yugi, I'm worried about you, why can't you tell me what's wrong?"

For a second, it looked like Yugi was going to yell at Yami again, but instead he dropped his gaze to the floor, and he sat down on the bed.

"Nothing is wrong, Yami." He paused. "Not really."

Yami sat down next to his hikari, making the bed squeak a little. It really worried him, the way Yugi was acting.

"What do you mean, 'not really'?." Yugi shrugged and looked to the side.

"I really don't want to talk about it, okay?" Yami sighed, and put his arm around Yugi's shaking shoulders.

"Please, Yugi. I care so much about you, don't lie to me. Tell me what's wrong, I might be able to help!" Now, Yugi couldn't stop himself. He just put his arms around Yami's waist and started crying in his shirt.

Yami frowned, but held his hikari in his arms. Twice in two days, had Yugi cried in his shirt. And still, the boy claimed that everything was alright. His sobs were strong and he shook violently in Yami's arms.

Yami simply let the boy cry, until the tears were out. When Yugi relaxed in his embrace, Yami whispered softly;

"Yugi, please talk to me. I will help you, I always will, no matter what." A deep sigh came from Yugi, and he moved a little in the spirits arms.

"W-Well... it's kind of complicated, and..." Another deep sigh, and Yugi spoke up again. "You see, I..."

A knock on the door interrupted Yugi, and both boys looked at the door.

"Yami?" Called Grandpa. "Are you in there?"

"Yes." Yami said, utterly annoyed over the interruption. "What's the matter?"

Grandpa sighed deeply. "Anzu's in the phone, and she wants to talk to you."

Silence fell for a few moments. At Anzu's name, Yugi stiffened, and then he pulled out of Yami's arms.

"You should go and get it." He said quietly, and dried away his tears. Yami hesitated, and looked at Yugi. The shorter boy looked totally devastated, and Yami really wanted to talk to him. But still, he couldn't just ignore the call...

"I'll be back in a few minutes, and then we'll talk, alright?" Yami said and rose. But Yugi shook his head, and smiled, almost looking like his usual self.

"No, It wasn't important. We can take it some other time." Yami hesitated once more, but then he sighed deeply, and opened the door.

/You'll have to talk to me sometime, aibou." He said seriously through the mind-link before he walked out of the room and closed the door silently after himself.

When the door closed, Yugi lay down on his bed again and sighed.

"I love you, Yami." He whispered and closed his eyes.

Down in the kitchen, Yami took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Yami, speaking." He said and sat down on a bench. The voice on the other end giggled, and Yami rolled his eyes.

"Hi, Yami!" Anzu chirped and giggled once again. Yami sighed and rubbed his temples.

"What do you want, Anzu?" He asked, wanting to hang up as soon as possible. Anzu sighed sweetly on the other end.

"Just hear your voice..." This made Yami's eyes grow big. Hear his voice? Did she call at almost nine pm to hear his voice? How ridiculous was that?

"Okay. You've heard it. I have to go now, we're going to have dinner now."

Anzu squealed delighted, and Yami winced at the pain in his ears.

"Oh! Hey, do you think I can..."

"Bye, Anzu!" Yami said quickly and hung up. What a nerve, almost asking herself over like that! Yami didn't want to have her over at dinner, seeing he'd never be able to eat when that girl/octopus drooled all over him.

Now Grandpa walked up to him and smiled. "Oh, so you're done? Good, go and fetch Yugi, and we'll have dinner." Yami nodded and smiled back.

"Yes, sir!" He said and ran up the stairs.

When he reached Yugi's door, he just ripped it open without knocking. "Yugi, dinner is..." His voice stopped in his throat and his eyes fell wide open.

Yugi was standing with his back towards him, shirtless and his pants halfway down his legs. When he heard the other's voice, he turned around quickly, falling over seeing his pants were halfway down his legs, and therefore prevented his movements.

Yami felt his throat go dry, and his cheeks flush when his eyes travelled around Yugi's body. His hikari's skin was pale, and flawless, not a singled mark on the skin. "Perfect..." was the only word that his mind could describe it like.

The body was frail, and Yami was afraid that it would brake. A slight frown appeared at his forehead, seeing that Yugi was a little thin and you could see hints of ribs. But the frown disappeared quickly. Who could frown, watching that beautiful boy?

"An Angel..." Was the only way of describing his hikari.

Yugi sat up frowned, seeing the way Yami stared at him. His hands shaking slightly, Yugi pulled on the school pants again, and he looked at Yami with big innocent eyes.

"Yami, could you go out for a second?" Yugi said, and leaned his head to the side.

Yugi's voice pulled Yami out of his daze, and he blushed even deeper. "Y-Yes, of course. Come down when you're... err, done. Dinner... yeah."

And with those stuttered sentences, Yami fled out the door, and slammed it shut behind him.

Yugi stared after his yami and blinked. Had he imagined that, or had he seemed very nervous? Nah... Whistling, still very innocent, Yugi started to change into his nightwear, seeing that he would go to bed directly after dinner.

Yami stood leaned against the wall by the stairs, his heart pounding hard in his chest, and his cheeks still red. His whole body felt hot, specially his...

Err, more private area.

Yami not to softly banged his head into the wall behind him, and growled. He shouldn't react this way seeing Yugi like that! Yugi was far too innocent and pure, it would be insulting to think about him in that way! Stupid hormones, not even after 5000 years in a puzzle, he could lose them!

Slowly, Yami opened his eyes, and stared out on the opposite wall. Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't he look at Yugi, without wanting to hold him? If only just for a second, he wanted to hold him.

To feel his skin against his, to have him in his arms, exchanging both spiritual and physical bounds. Just to touch that soft and smooth skin with his hands, to feel Yugi's taste on his tongue, to... just have him, and to love him.

Yami's eyes grew wide when he suddenly realized what he was thinking, and what it meant.

He wanted his hikari. In all ways possible, he wanted him.

Yami shook his head violently and growled yet again. No! He couldn't think that way. Yugi was forbidden to have, he couldn't lust after him! It wasn't like him to lose his control like this, he had always been able to control his needs, and his lust. But when it came to Yugi...

Yami shivered, and closed his eyes again. "Concentrate on something else, anything else... Anzu pole-dancing, Anzu pole-dancing..." Yami shuddered in disgust, but continued having that mantra through his head.

"Anzu pole-dancing, Anzu pole-dancing, Anzu pole-dancing, Yugi pole-dancing, Yugi pole-dancing naked..." Yami's growled loudly, and banged his head in the wall. Fucking mind, why did it deceive him like this!

"Yami?" Yami jumped and opened his eyes.

"Who, what, huh?" He blurted out, and looked around himself. In front of him stood Yugi, looking at him with risen eyebrows. A small smile was at his lips, and he looked happier than earlier.

Yami's eyes travelled down Yugi's body. He was wearing a light-blue flannel pyjamas. The pants was a bit too long, covering his white socks. A light, almost unnoticeable, blush appeared at Yami's cheeks when his gaze fell on Yugi's chest. The upper buttons were unbuttoned, and showed Yugi's pale skin.

"Yami?" Yugi said again, a hint of worry in his voice. Yami was watching him with dazed eyes, and it looked like he was light-years away. But when Yugi said his name again, Yami's head flew up, and he blushed a little deeper.

"What, did you say anything, aibou?" Yugi rose one eyebrow again, and smiled.

"No...come on, let's have dinner!" Yami nodded and pulled his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah... You go, I have to... err... go to the bathroom." And with that, Yami walked up the stairs to the bathroom. He had to get rid of... a slight problem.

Yugi blinked and watched Yami walk up the stairs. The spirit seemed to have a slight problem, and his walk seemed to be a bit troubled. Every time his thighs brushed together, he groaned and shuddered.

Yugi shrugged, and jumped towards the kitchen to have dinner.

END CHAPTER!

Alright, another chapter done! Hm, wonder what problem Yami was referring to...

Ah well, I hope that the chapter was alright to you all! And I know that Yugi has these mood-swings, but remember that he is in love and such...

Next chapter may take a while, this is one of the hardest stories to write ever for me! I'm not so very good at writing Yugi/Yami stuff...

Okay, please review and tell me your thoughts! Ah, also, if you're gonna give me criticism, PLEASE tell me how to improve (constructive criticism)! Don't just tell me that something sucked, tell me how to make it better!

Hugs to ya all!
