In the middle of the night Yugi stirred. He slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his cheek. He slowly turned his head and looked around the room. His cheek started to sting. Tears pricked the back of Yugi's innocent eyes.
"Yami?" Yugi slowly got out of the bed and walked to the door. Easing it open he looked out into the dark hallway. The quietness sent chills up his spine. "Yami?" Yugi whispered. Walking blind he walked to the stairs. Looking down at the darkness Yugi felt scared. Like he was back home again. Yugi turned around and used his hands and felt against the wall for a door hoping to find the bathroom. Yugi slowly opened the door his hand came in contact with. Hand still grasping the handle he stuck his head through the slightly opened door.
Alas was awakened by the squeaking sound of her door opening.
"Yami is that you?" She asked quietly. No response. "Yami I'm going to hurt you if it's you. You better go back to bed." Yugi slammed the door shut at the word 'hurt'. Alas shot right up when she heard the door slam shut. Then she heard the padding of some one running away from the door. "Yugi?" Alas quickly reached and opened the door.
Yugi's small feet hit the cold ground with every step. But since he could barely see he missed the rug and tripped on it. Losing his balance he realized his was at the top of the stairs. Yugi gasped as he saw the stairs coming into clear view. Yugi braced him self when a secure arm reached out and caught him.
Alas grabbed Yugi's shirt and pulled him away from the stairs. Both Yugi and Alas were out of breath.
"Are...you ok Yugi?" She gasped. Yugi continued to look forward at the stairs taking deep breaths. "Yugi?" Yugi slowly looked at Alas. Alas smiled. "Why were you out here? Did you need to go to the bathroom?" Yugi nodded slightly.
"Cheek hurts." Yugi whispered. She smiled warmly and pulled Yugi to his feet and took hold of his hand. Once inside the bathroom she turned on the light. Dried blood was caked around the scratch he had received earlier.
"Come here." Yugi slowly walked over to her. She smiled and picked him up and sat him on the counter. She got a wet rag and some anti bacterial cream. She gently cleaned and patched up Yugi's wound. "There all better." Yugi smiled slightly. "Are you ready to go back to bed?" Yugi wasn't really tired but didn't want to burden anyone. Yugi slid off the counter and walked to the door. Then he stopped and turned around.
"Can I watch t.v.?" He whispered quietly. Alas smiled.
"You're not tired?" He slowly shook his head. She smiled and walked over to him and carefully picked him up. "I got an idea lets go get some nice warm hot chocolate. How does that sound?"
Yugi smiled and nodded. Alas carried Yugi to the kitchen and sat him on the kitchen counter.
"Ok here we are." Alas said getting out the supplies for hot chocolate. Yugi watched as Alas continued her work. Once finished Alas put Yugi's in a mug and hers in a cup. She didn't want him to spill his. She handed it to Yugi who hesitantly took it. Alas smiled and picked him up again. She brought him over to the couch and sat him next to her. He leaned against her as he slowly sipped his drink.
"Thanks." Yugi whispered. "It's good." Alas smiled and wrapped her arm around him and pulled him closer. Yugi snuggled into the embrace. It was the first time he felt at peace. Like he had a mom that loved him. Not an evil step mother who beat him just for being alive.
Alas smiled and rubbed gentle circles on his back soothing him. Then she started to hum a soft song. Yugi smiled as he listened to the soft music. They stay that way 'till morning.
Yami woke up at 8 to see if any one else was up. He walked into the living room to watch some t.v. when he got a huge surprise. Yugi and Alas were both snuggled together asleep. Yami smiled. Alas, being the light sleeper she is, heard Yami walk up. She slowly opened her eyes. She felt an extra weight on her chest. She looked down and smiled seeing it was Yugi. She didn't have the heart to move. Yami smiled at Alas.
'I'll fix breakfast.' Yami mouthed. Alas smiled and nodded slightly. Yami suppressed a chuckle and walked to the kitchen. The smell of bacon filled the air. Once Yami was done he walked over to Alas. "Time to wake up sleepy head." Yami said shaking Yugi slightly. Alas smiled as Yugi stirred and slowly opened his eyes. The 5-year-old reached up and rubbed his eyes. Alas smiled and lifted Yugi.
"It's time to eat. I bet you're hungry." Alas sat Yugi down in a chair and sat down next to him. Yugi slouched a little as he tried to blink away the sleepiness from his eyes. After getting some food in him Yugi started to wake up more.
