Chapter 2

Yugi was lying on the bed after he had fled the room unable to sleep. He was scared of what Keith had done. His lip was not bleeding anymore but it was painful. He knew he would have to think up some excuse to tell Jou at work when he saw him the following night when they changed shifts.

He could hear heavy footfalls on the stairs and knew Keith was coming up to bed. He decided to pretend he was asleep, at least that way Keith wouldn't want him tonight, as he really didn't want sex tonight. Keith had become rougher with him and sometimes he was in pain for days afterwards making him wish Keith would leave him alone.

The footsteps reached the top and came into the bedroom.

"I know you're not asleep." He said as he came round to Yugi's side of the bed. Yugi kept his eyes closed and concentrated on making his breathing sound as regular as possible but inside his heart was pounding and he was sure Keith would be able to hear it.

"Get up, I want you now." Keith snarled but Yugi didn't move.

Keith grabbed the small form roughly and shook him. With a cry, Yugi opened his eyes and looked straight into Keith's. They were wild looking and Yugi knew there would be no escaping it.

"S…Sorry Keith I guess I must have fallen asleep." He lied. Keith said nothing but threw him on the bed face down.

Yugi lay and let Keith use him. He cried out in pain when he took him with no preparation tearing him and making him bleed. When he was done, Keith took him and shoved him out of the bedroom door.

"You can sleep downstairs tonight as punishment for lying to me." He hissed and slammed the bedroom door.

Yugi winced as he walked to a cupboard on the landing and took some blankets. He took them downstairs and curled into a tight little ball on the settee. He allowed the tears to fall and sobbed silently.

What had happened to him? He was so loving and gentle when they started seeing each other and now Yugi felt worthless.

Still he loved Keith and forgave him every time he told him he was ugly and no one else would want him. Lately he had been saying that the job at the garage was too much for him and he should give it up but he had protested saying that he enjoyed it and that it wasn't too much.

He finally fell asleep sometime in the early hours of the morning and when he woke he was aching and sore.

He looked at the clock and saw that it was ten o'clock in the morning. It was well before Keith usually got out of bed and Yugi was glad, he could have a bath and scrub up before he got up.

Yugi sank into the warm water of the bath and allowed his muscles to relax. His rear was very sore and he knew by his pyjamas that he had bled more in the night. He washed himself and got out of the bath feeling much better.

Unfortunately he had not heard Keith get up and when he emerged from the bathroom he was pushed roughly against the wall.

"Where's my coffee you little slut?" Keith demanded. "You can't have a bath until you have seen to me."

"I…I'm sorry Keith, you were still asleep so I thought I would have a quick bath and then get your coffee."

"Well next time see to me first." Keith growled and stomped off downstairs.

Yugi got dressed as quickly as he could and went downstairs to get Keith his coffee and cook him breakfast.

"You can have one slice of toast today." Keith said. "Any more and you might start getting fat and I don't want a boyfriend who is a fat slob."

"Yes Keith." Yugi said meekly and served Keith his breakfast.

Yugi got his toast and sat eating it as quietly as he could. The last time he had made any noise eating toast, Keith had yelled at him to keep quiet as he couldn't hear the TV over the top of the noise.

"You finished yet?" Keith demanded.

"Yes Keith."

"Good you can clean the crap up in here and then you can clean the rest of the house." He said.

Yugi sighed and began to clean up. Four hours later he was done and after he put all the cleaning things away he went into the living room where Keith was still sitting watching TV.

"Make me a coffee." He said and so Yugi boiled the kettle making himself a coffee at the same time. He took it into Keith who merely growled at him. He took a drink of it and then spat it back into the mug.

"You didn't put any sugar in." he said.

"I did, I put two in."

"Are you arguing with me?" Keith said getting up from the settee and advancing on Yugi menacingly.

"N…No." Yugi stammered suddenly scared.

"You are, you're arguing with me. Don't argue with me I make the rules and you obey them got it?"

"Yes Keith." Yugi said his heart beating painfully inside his chest.

Suddenly Keith punched the wall just to the right of Yugi's face missing him by centimetres. The colour drained from Yugi's face.

"You're a little slut, a worthless little slut, you want to be thankful to me for keeping you in line." Keith snarled his face very close to Yugi's.

"Now I need some relief, sort me out like the good little slut you are."

Keith backed off a little way and pushed Yugi down in front of him.

When Yugi was done, Keith zipped up his trousers and returned to sit in front of the TV.

Yugi bit back his tears and went to sit in the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" Keith asked.

"I just thought I would sit in the kitchen for a while." Yugi said.

"There's no need for that, here come and sit down next to me." He patted the seat next to him and so Yugi walked over and sat down. Keith put his arm round him and stroked his hair.

Yugi felt loved again and snuggled up against Keith's chest.

"I'm sorry I'm so rough with you." Keith said sounding very different to the way he had a short time ago. "But you understand why don't you?"

"Yes of course." Yugi said believing every word.

"I love you." Keith said. "I just get frustrated sometimes."

"It's okay I understand." Yugi said happy that Keith was being loving again. Maybe things could go back to the way they used to be.

"Wear that green top I like tonight Yugi, and those black pants."

"Yes Keith."

Yugi told Jou later on that he had walked into a door and split his lip. Jou nodded in acceptance and Yugi hoped he sounded convincing enough. He didn't want to get Keith into trouble after all it wasn't Keith's fault it was his own. He needed to be taught lessons and he knew Keith was a good teacher.

Yugi had a good few 'lessons' over the next few weeks but nothing that left a mark where it could be seen. The hidden parts of his body though were always covered in bruises where Keith had been heavy handed but he always told Yugi that it was his fault he was this way and Yugi believed it.

He relied on Keith for everything now. Keith told him exactly how to dress and where he could go, he even told him exactly how to brush his teeth and stood over him while he did it. If Yugi got it wrong, Keith hit him on the back of his head until he got it right.

Yugi knew it was all for his own good and never questioned Keith's 'teaching' methods any more. He always told him how grateful he was to him for showing him where he was going wrong and Keith would smile and tell him he was a good boy.

One day Keith came home drunk, Yugi was sitting watching TV when he came into the sitting room. Keith saw his empty mug in front of him and it made him angry that Yugi hadn't taken it to the sink to wash up.

"What's that?" he demanded and Yugi jumped up wondering what he had done wrong now.

"What's what?" He asked nervously. Keith looked angry.

"That on there." Keith said pointing.

"Oh my mug, I'm sorry I had just finished my coffee and was taking it into the kitchen in a minute."

Keith strode over and picked the mug up.

"It's stone cold, you have disobeyed me again. What do I have to do to teach you a lesson?" Keith demanded and threw the mug against the wall where it shattered. He advanced on Yugi who backed away scared.

He stopped when he hit the wall and Keith advanced on him anger radiating from him in waves.

Suddenly Yugi found a hand round his throat and felt his feet leave the floor as Keith held him up. He coughed and spluttered trying to breathe.

"You have disobeyed me for the last time." Keith snarled as Yugi struggled in his grasp. He saw the real Keith then in his wild eyes and knew he had to escape. Using all his strength he kicked out and his foot connected with something soft and fleshy.

Keith cried out in pain and dropped Yugi who coughed. He knew now that if he didn't escape, that Keith would kill him for that and so he made a run for the door. Keith was doubled up on the floor giving Yugi enough time to grab his bike keys and run out of the door.

Not caring that he had no leathers or helmet on he ran to his bike and getting on it he rode away in the direction of Jou's house…

TBC…

There ya go everyone yay Yugi escaped heh what now? Wait and see…
