A/N: From time to time I will post authors notes that have actual relevance and importance to your understanding of the story. I don't know what I'll do on those days... Maybe I'll figure out how to make the text orange.
This is how I will mark thoughts --- italics
This is how I will mark them talking through their mindlink --- /get the picture/
Disclaimer: Don't sue me, it probably wouldn't be worth the effort... And the moral of the story kiddies, is that I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Crimson Kisses: A Vampiric Tale --- Chapter 2
"Yami?" When his other half didn't answer Yugi bolted upright. "Yami?" His heart raced until he heard his dark's deep chuckle.
"Good morning Aibou." Yami greeted, coming down for a kiss. Then he sat at the edge of their bed, "Yugi, why ar eyou so convinced that I'm going to leave?"
When Yugi refused to meet his eyes he threw up his hands, "It's that damn dream again isn't it?"
God, that damn dream had been haunting Yugi for months and it was always the same. Yugi wakes up alone and he can smell the blood, soon he hears screaming and yelling and then there's nothing... Just black loneliness. And if there's one thing Yugi hates, it's being lonely, Yami thought sullenly. Then pulled his small light into a tight embrace.
"Y-you're not mad?"
"Of course not Aibou, I just cn't understand how you can be so afraid of a simple dream." His heart began to ache as he saw Yugi's sad eyes. "I love you Yugi, so much so that I can't stand to see you like this." Yami kissed his hair lightly and continued to hold him close.
"Yami?"
"Yes Aibou?"
Yugi giggled alittle before answering, "Not that I'm complaining or anything, but could you let go? Joey and Seto will be here any minute and I kinda want to take a shower first."
With a sly grin Yami nipped at Yugi's sensative earlobe, making the boy jump, "Mind if I join you?"
"I'll race you!" Yugi cried, pouncing out of his perch in Yami's lap.
Somehow a race turned into tag and Yami ended up pinning Yugi to the ground.
"I win." Yami claimed, in a hoarse but triumphant voice. "So what's my prize?"
"Well, what do you want?" Yugi asked, his voice wavering only slightly.
Just then the door practically flew open, revealing Seto and Joey, however they didn't enter the apartment.
"What sort of perverted games are you two playing?" Kaiba asked, with a small smile playing across his lips.
"We're not playing a game." Yami said, getting off Yugi.
"Oh well in that case; maybe we should leave before they start to shag on the shag, Pup." Seto said, slipping his arm around Joey's waist.
"Guys wait!" called Yugi. "I'm just gonna go wash up and I'll be out in a minutes. Okay?"
Joey and Seto nodded as Yugi turned and sprinted down the short hallway.
Yami coughed to clear his throat. "You guys, we really weren't doing anything dirty."
"We believe you." Joey insisted before flopping down in Seto's lap.
"I just don't want you guys to scare him off."
"And how pray tell, would we do that?" Kaiba asked with a lilt of false innocence.
"I don't know," Yami confessed, "but I love him and kinda want this little arrangement of ours to be a forever deal."
"Yami, Seto's just being a jack ass." Joey said, discretly elbowing his lover in the ribs. "He'd never do anything to ruin your relationship with Yugi."
"Besides," said Yugi, re-entering the room, "I'm not going anywhere. It's you I worry about."
"... Anyways. What were our plans for that day?" Seto asked, breaking the strained silence.
"I don't think we had specifics." Yami said, putting an arm around Yugi. "Although I think school shopping was mentioned."
"I'm not paying for everything." Kaiba said as he and Joey got up and moved towards the door.
"No problem Kaiba. That prize money has to go somewhere. Might as well go towards putting clothes on my Aibou's back."
"But Yami! I thought you prefered taking them off me." Yugi said with a giggle before ducking out the door.
A/N: Oooo. They're so cute, too bad it won't last, though. -shrugs- . Sorry my chapters are short but typing is boring even with rock and j-pop.
