He hears heavy boots being taken off, and kicked carelessly against a wall, and wraps slender arms tighter around thin shoulders.
"Hikari where are you? Come out. Come see yami darkness' present."
And he pretends he can't hear. Burying his head deeper into his cocoon.
"Come out hikarichan. Are you hiding? Another game to play with yami darkness?"
The voice gets louder, as he hears the foot steps thump up the stairs.
"I can feel you hikarichan, hide and go seek doesn't play very well" A giggle. "You're in our room, pretty. I'm coming in to show you what I found"
Desperately he tries to shut off their shared link, although he knows it's useless. He stills his breathing as he hears his yami enter the room, and squeezes lavender eyes shut.
"Come out come out hikari You can't hide from me! I'll find you"
The light clicks on, and a shines under the crack of the closet door.
"Mou, I know where you are pretty come out so I don't have to put your present down."
He pulls the blanket tighter over his head, and tries to disappear into it. Instead the doorknob turns, and the closet door opens up, flooding the small space with light.
"there you are hikari! I found you"
A hand reaches in, and pulls him out into the room. He clutches the blanket tighter, but stronger hands push his arms away.
"You see, hikaripretty, I told you I knew where you were." Soft dark hands splattered in blood reach up and touch his face. They brush tears off his lashes, only succeeding in streaking his face with warm crimson.
"Open your eyes love, see what I got you."
Dark kohl lashes rise, revealing soft pools of warm lavender. His Yami's smiling face gins lovingly up at him.
"You said you wanted a pet. I found you one, and I took it home for you!"
His yami's head moves to reveal a bloody mess on the carpet. Remains of a small animal, guts spilling out of it's stomach, and it's head half gone.
He chokes back a gasp, tears clouding his visions.
"I knew you would like it! It used to be white, and it made a funny sound when I picked it up, but I made it shut up, cus I knew you wouldn't like that." smile. "hikari pretty like his present?"
Warm tears fall down his cheeks, gasping sobs tumble from soft lips. His yamis face comes back into view.
"Hikari likes it, yes? Hikari like his present?"
Choked sobs, as he reaches up, thins arms circling his yami's neck, and he buries his face in the soft golden hair.
"Hikari loves his present. It's wonderful" shuddered sigh. "Thank you yami. Thank you."
Strong muscular arms hug his waist, and pull him closer. He in hails the scent of sweat, salt and blood, mixed with the distinct smell of ash, and chaos that is his yami.
"I love you hikaridarling."
"Thank you."
