Chapter 5

True to his word, Yugi worked hard with the physiotherapist at the hospital strengthening his legs as well as moving as much as possible after the breaks in his back had healed. The scans had shown no permanent damage to his back and the doctors were confident of a full recovery and as each day went by and he got stronger, he began to believe it.

Jou had been there for him every step of the way and when he came out of hospital, had encouraged him to use the computer to go online and meet new people. He had joined a biker chat room and spent lots of time in the evenings chatting. He had made plenty of contacts, some closer than others but no one really stood out to him until one day a new face came in. Yugi noticed the nickname 'HondaRider' and as he chatted away, he noticed that the new face seemed a bit shy so he decided to befriend him a bit.

"Hi there HondaRider." He typed and was pleased when he got a reply.

"Hi BikerBoy, how are you?"

"I'm good though recovering from a major accident so I can't ride at the moment."

"Oh that's bad, what happened?"

The conversation carried on for a while and as Yugi told his new friend what had happened, it was as if everyone else in the chat room faded away into insignificance and it was merely him and HondaRider alone in there.

They chatted for hours getting to know one another until Yugi looked at the clock and realised that it was three o'clock in the morning.

"Do you have MSN?" he typed.

"Yes." Came the reply " It's if I add you?"

"Feel free, I haven't had it for very long and don't have that many contacts yet."

"Thanks." Yugi typed the email address into his MSN contacts.

"I accepted you." The other typed.

"Before I go what's your real name?" Yugi typed.

"Honda. What's yours?"

"Yugi, so I'll talk to you soon?"

"Definitely." Came the reply and Yugi smiled. He liked Honda a lot after their chat and had found him easy to talk to. He wondered what he was like in real life. He hadn't told him he was gay and had no idea whether his new friend was or not as they had talked bikes for most of the night but he knew he would find out soon enough.

As he logged off he found he was smiling to himself. Tomorrow they would talk more he knew. He found it funny that his name was Honda and that he had a Honda Fireblade. He went to sleep that night feeling much happier than he had in months but he couldn't really put his finger on why.

Over the next few weeks Yugi and Honda talked everyday on MSN. Yugi found out that Honda was gay and they had swapped photos. It wasn't long before Yugi realised that he was actually falling for him in a big way.

"I feel the same way." Honda typed when Yugi confessed that he felt strongly for him.

"Can we meet up soon?" Yugi asked.

"I'd love to." Honda said.

"How about you come to me next weekend?"

"Sure."

The two had already swapped addresses and found they lived not too far apart though it wasn't close enough for daily visits rather for weekends or a couple of days in the week. As Honda was a police officer he worked shifts so it would be harder.

Yugi's legs were now strong enough for him to walk unaided and he wondered if he would be okay to go pillion on the back of Honda's bike. He would ask his physiotherapist about it tomorrow when he saw her.

In bed that night, Yugi hugged himself in anticipation of the following weekend's visit. He couldn't wait to meet him for real.

The physiotherapist could see no reason that Yugi shouldn't go pillion, as he was strong enough now though she advised against riding a bike himself until he was one hundred per cent healed. Yugi didn't mind and began to look forwards to Honda coming more than ever.

He had stopped self-harming shortly after beginning to talk to Honda. He had told him about it and why he had done it and he had been very understanding about it. He had told Honda almost everything that had happened to him to date and felt closer to him than almost anyone else except Jou. Some things he decided though were best locked away in his memory. Even though he had not met Honda yet, he felt he could confide in him and that felt good.

Yugi's sense of anticipation grew as the week progressed and his excitement nearly drove Jou mad but finally Friday came. Yugi would go and look out of the window every time he heard a noise outside just in case making Jou laugh in half exasperation and half amusement.

"Stop panicking." He said as Yugi looked out of the window for the millionth time that day.

"He's here!" Yugi said as a Fireblade pulled up outside the apartment.

"Well don't look too eager." Jou said laughing. "I'll let him in." He got up and waited for the door to go.

For Yugi, it seemed an age before there was a knock on the door but it was really only a few minutes.

Jou went to answer it and Yugi twiddled his thumbs anxiously as he waited.

"Hey there." Honda said as Jou showed him through into the lounge and then went into the kitchen to make drinks.

Yugi got up and hugged Honda who hugged him back.

"I'm so glad you came." Yugi said happily when they broke apart.

"Yeah me too." Honda said. He had been just as excited about seeing Yugi as he had about seeing Honda.

"We'll go out on the bike tomorrow." Honda said pleased that Yugi would be able to go pillion with him.

"I can't wait." Yugi said grinning.

They talked long into the night before retiring to bed and showing each other just how much they had fallen for each other before finally falling asleep in each other's arms.

Yugi knew now that he really loved Honda and told him so just before they fell asleep.

"I am glad of that because I love you too." Honda said and kissed Yugi's soft sweet smelling hair.

Jou looked in on them both the following morning and saw a tangle of limbs under the blankets. He felt glad that Yugi had found someone to love again, after Keith he had wondered if he would ever recover but it seemed that Honda was a perfect healing tonic.

He left them to it and went off to make some breakfast.

Honda and Yugi woke a couple of hours later and disentangled themselves from each other.

"Morning sexy." Honda said grinning and kissed his new boyfriend.

"Mmm likewise." Yugi said wishing that they could stay in bed but at the same time the prospect of a ride out on the Fireblade making him glad they weren't.

The sun was high in the sky when they were both ready to go. It was a perfect cloudless day. Yugi smiled thinking the conditions couldn't be any better and as he sat on the bike for the first time in what seemed like forever, he knew he had missed it more than he cared to admit.

He felt once again the feeling of freedom that he always had when he rode. It wasn't perfect as he preferred to be the one doing the driving but it was close enough for him.

They stopped for lunch at a café, before heading back. Honda had found Yugi to be a good pillion rider and had hardly noticed he was there. It helped that he was light and was a biker himself so knew when to lean and when not to.

They arrived home happy and Yugi began to think about getting on a bike of his own one day.

Later on when he was laying in Honda's arms he brought the subject up.

"I want to go shopping for a new bike." He said his eyes shining in anticipation of having a bike again. The paramedics had lied about his bike he had found out later on. It had been a write-off but they had lied because Yugi had needed urgent medical help. So he had no bike and now he had been out again, he was desperate to own one again.

"Want to go tomorrow?" Honda asked nuzzling Yugi's neck and giving it little nips showing Yugi exactly what he wanted before they went to sleep.

"Yeah I would love that." Yugi said and moaned softly at Honda's touches. No more was said as they gave themselves to each other fully collapsing into each other's arms again when they had found their release.

Yugi and Honda went shopping the following day and Yugi chose two bikes to buy. Even though he couldn't ride himself as yet he wanted to buy one ready but ended up with two. He was soon the proud owner of an NSR 125 so he could gain his confidence back and a GS500E for when he had got it back.

Happy with his purchases, Honda took Yugi for another ride before regretfully having to return home as he said he was on an early shift Monday morning and needed sleep.

It was a sad departure but he promised to visit again as soon as he could and Yugi promised the same as soon as he was given the all clear to ride again.

Honda visited a few more times until eventually after another three months, Yugi was given the all clear to ride himself. He realised that it had been a full year since his accident but vowed not to think about it as he got on his 125 and pulled out of the driveway.

The wind whipped past him as he rode and it felt as though he had never been off a bike. He felt perfectly at ease and his happy feeling intensified. Soon he knew he would take the 500 out and then he could visit Honda where he lived. He wished with all his heart that they lived closer to each other, as there was only so much you could do online. They made up for it when they saw each other but it wasn't enough. He knew that Honda couldn't move to him because of his job but as yet Yugi didn't have a job and for the last couple of weeks he had been wondering about moving closer to Honda. He decided to talk it over with Honda and see what he thought.

Okay that's it for this chapter hope you are enjoying!
