Chapter 6

Yugi spoke to Jou the following evening about his feelings.

"Jou I've been thinking of moving to be closer to Honda." He said and Jou nodded.

"I wondered if you would." He said and smiled. "Go for it man, few chances of happiness happen in life you gotta take than as they come."

"You don't mind? Do you think I'm being too rash?"

"Well I'll miss ya of course but we can keep in touch online and I think if you love him and want to be with him then you should do it."

"Thanks Jou I thought you would understand. I hate being away from him like this."

"I know. I hate it that Seto has to work so much but he does make up for it when we are together." Jou said and Yugi wondered if he felt the way he did but in a different way.

Yugi spoke about his plan to Honda later on when they were online.

"Really? You want to move here?" Honda typed when Yugi told him.

"Yeah I do, I hate being away from you almost all the time." Yugi typed back. His cell phone rang and Yugi knew it was Honda.

"You really mean it?" His boyfriend gushed down the phone to him when Yugi answered.

"Yeah as soon as everything is sorted here I'm coming."

"Well I was thinking…" Honda said but his words trailed off.

"What?" Yugi pressed wondering what on earth Honda was going to say.

"Well maybe we could get a place together. You don't have to I mean you probably hate the idea but I would love it." Honda said speaking rather fast.

Yugi thought about it for a moment and then replied.

"I can think of nothing I'd rather do."

"I'll start looking then while you sort things out your end." Honda said over the moon that Yugi had said yes.

Two weeks later Yugi traveled down to Honda's to view a flat he had found and liked. Yugi loved it and they put down a bond on it.

They had fun shopping for things to fill their flat and although Yugi didn't have a lot of money, Honda said he didn't mind paying at all.

Yugi returned home to tell Jou that he would be moving out in a matter of days. Jou was naturally upset and tears were shed but he did give Yugi the good news that Seto had finally asked him to move in with him and so he was happy enough.

"He had just been waiting until you were sorted." Jou said wishing that he had known that but Seto was not one for telling people things even his own boyfriend and Jou didn't mind too much.

Less than a week later, Yugi was traveling to his new life with Honda. There was a mere backpack of his clothes as he didn't possess much but Honda said that didn't matter, as he would get all they needed.

Honda was waiting at their new flat when he arrived and for the first few days they hardly left it except to get basic supplies like milk. Honda had taken two weeks off work to spend time with Yugi and get the flat straight so there was no need for them to go anywhere.

Life settled into a blissful routine. Yugi got a little job and worked hard at it. There was only one black spot in their perfect world.

Honda's parents didn't seem to like him. Honda would come home from seeing them telling Yugi that they had said he was only with him for money. Yugi couldn't understand this he had a job and contributed to the household bills and food as much as he could but they didn't seem to see that.

Yugi had only met Honda's parents once. They had a huge house and seemed to be very well off. The meeting had been awkward and he had felt very unwelcome but he smiled and made the best of it.

As time grew on he came to discover that all Honda's parents cared about was money. Everything they said or did seemed to be money orientated. They also doted on Honda's brother buying him expensive presents and paying some of his bills when he got stuck but never for Honda. Yugi wondered if it was because Honda was with him and he felt sad.

"Don't worry about it." Honda told him when he explained his fears to him. But Yugi did he couldn't help it.

He also discovered that Honda wouldn't stand up to his parents and would just nod and agree with them. He explained that it was easier like that but Yugi felt hurt by it. If Honda loved him like he said he did, why wouldn't he stand up for him?

Their life was good apart from that though so he put it to the back of his mind and decided not to worry about it too much.

Then Yugi lost his job.

Slowly cracks began to appear in their relationship. Yugi now had to rely on Honda to pay all the bills and what was worse; he couldn't find another job.

People began to whisper to Honda that maybe Yugi was really only with him for money. His parents said it to him every time he went to see them and over time he began to believe it himself.

He started to argue with Yugi about little things like when Yugi needed a new razor and Honda had told him to buy his own. When Yugi pointed out that he couldn't because he had no money, Honda had shouted at him to get a job and stop sponging off him.

Yugi was horribly reminded of his relationship with Keith and had no intention of going through hell again but it wasn't him who did anything about it, it was Honda.

"I need to get my head sorted." He said. "I think we should separate for a while."

"if that's what you want." Yugi said fighting his tears. He loved Honda and didn't want to split from him but if Honda really needed to sort his head out then maybe it was better for a while if they did.

He packed his bags and went to stay with a friend of his he had made since moving there.

Honda behaved better and even helped him find his own place while he sorted his head out. He bought him furniture and made sure he was okay. Yugi then found another job and things started to look up for him again.

His knee was giving him problems though and although it didn't prevent him from working, he knew it needed to be sorted.

It turned out that he would need an operation to correct the problem and that he would need two weeks off to recover. He had only been in his job for two months but he explained to his boss what the problem was and she seemed understanding enough.

Honda was there for him while he recovered but then he got an infection in the wound and needed to take further time off work. He asked for another week and was rewarded with his boss telling him that they didn't need people who took time off for minor infections and sacked him.

Yugi despaired knowing that he now had a flat to pay for and he would have to have money from the government to help him pay for everything. He hated having to do that but he had no choice.

Then he made a discovery about Honda when he was visiting him one day. He happened to go on his computer when he had gone out and discovered some chat logs. As he read his eyes opened wide. He had thought Honda was having time away from him to 'sort his head out'. At no time had Honda officially split from him or so he'd thought but the logs he read were very personal and intimate and they weren't directed at Yugi.

He confronted Honda with what he had found. Honda's reaction was to apologize and say that he thought he had made it clear that the split was a proper split.

Yugi felt destroyed by this latest revelation and shut himself away in his flat for days. Honda had bought him a computer just before Yugi discovered the logs and he now spent all his time on it trying to forget the hurt. He felt cheated on as he had considered them still together even though they weren't living together at the time. He found out about a week later that Honda had actually sent video messages of himself doing various sexual things to this other person and so again Yugi felt hurt and betrayed after all they had slept together a few times after he had moved out.

Honda begged Yugi for another chance and said that he had nothing to do with the other person now and although Yugi had been deeply hurt by Honda's actions, he loved him so much, he decided to give it another go.

They didn't move back in together but Honda came to see him whenever he could and for a while again things were good. Yugi couldn't get the logs and video messages out of his head though and to make things worse, Honda's friends and family were again telling him that Yugi was only with him for money.

Eventually it all became too much for Yugi who even though he loved Honda and knew he always would, he knew that Honda's parents would always make things impossible for them. He knew they hated him and would be pleased if they weren't together any more.

"I can't handle it any more." He told Honda tearfully when he came to see him one day and told him that his parents had been on at him again telling him Yugi only wanted his money.

"Did you stand up to them?" Yugi asked thinking that id he only did that then they could stay together. His hopes were dashed though when Honda slowly shook his head.

"I'm sorry I just can't do it." He said sadly.

"Well in that case I think it would be better all round if we split up permanently, I can't trust you now anyway. I thought I could handle it and maybe I can but I can't handle your parents."

"If that's what you want." Honda said sadly.

"I think it's for the best. We can stay friends though right?" Yugi said and Honda nodded.

That night Yugi sat thinking that it was perhaps for the best in the long run. No matter how much he wanted to be with Honda, his parents would never allow it to happen without a major fuss being made. He decided to enjoy single life from now on.

TBC…

More soon!
