Chapter 5
Yugi woke up to his phone being blown up. Who the hell was calling early in the morning. What time is it? He looked at the clock. 4:32am. He groaned and sat up and answered it.
"What?" He snapped.
"Whoa easy there." Yukio said.
"What the fuck are calling me at 4:30 in the morning for?" Yugi growled.
"I uh got a problem." Yukio said.
Yugi rolled his eyes. "Say they're pretty throw on a condom and for the love of Ra don't reproduce. Bye." He started to hang up.
"I'm in heat!" Yukio said.
Yugi froze and put the phone back to his ear. "Now?"
"Yes." Yukio grunted. "Its bad this time."
Yugi sighed. "When did it hit?"
Yukio groaned. "While I was out with Syren last night. About 11:30pm."
"Yukio have you been taking your medicine?" Yugi asked. When he was met with silence he sighed. "That's a no. Alright I'll be right there. Don't leave your apartment."
"Thank you Yugi." Yukio hung up.
Yugi sighed and got up. Thank Ra his heat didn't hit for a while. The two of them being is heat at the same time would be bad.
He threw on some jeans and a t-shirt and grabbed his stuff. After making sure Akita had plenty of food and water he threw on his shoes on grabbed his keys and left.
Walking into Yukio's apartment he found Yukio on the couch sweating and panting. Yukio wasn't kidding it was a bad one. Him being curled up that way meant a lot of pain.
The problem with a heat is it hurts. It's a physical need for sex and if you ignore that need it turns to pain. Extreme pain.
"Come on you need to get in bed." Yugi said pulling him up. He put Yukio's arm over his shoulders and helped him to his room. Yugi laid him on his bed.
"Hurts." Yukio groaned.
"I know." Yugi went to Yukio's dresser for the medicine. When he didn't find it there he went back to Yukio. "Where's your meds?"
"Don't have any." Yukio groaned.
Yugi cursed under his breath. "How can you be out?"
Yukio groaned and curled up.
The city paid for the meds. If Yukio was out there was no way he could get an advance on them. But he and Yukio took different amounts. He couldn't just give Yukio his. Even if he got an advance it would take days to get to them.
"Yugi." Yukio whined.
"Ok ok um…" He thought. "Let me cool you down then maybe I can figure something out." He went and soaked a washcloth in ice cold water. He came back and laid it on Yukio's head.
Stepping out of the room he called Jordan. "Hey Yukio's in heat and he's out of meds."
"Damn." They said.
"How much do you take?" Yugi asked.
"I had this month's heat already." Jordan said.
"Shit. An advance is impossible." Yugi sighed. "Plus by the time it would get here he'd be done."
"The only ones who can get meds that fast are those with connects. Like Seto Kaiba or-"
"Atem Kodai." Yugi said.
"Yeah. People like him." Yukio said.
"Ok thanks Jordan." He hung up. He quickly called Atem. "Hey can you come to 120 Saito road? Its an emergency. Thanks." He hung up.
Yugi went in to Yukio and continued to try to ease his pain.
Atem came about an hour later. Yugi took him in to Yukio who was now running a high fever. He finally fallen asleep but his face still contorted with pain.
"What's wrong with him?" Atem asked.
"He's having a heat." Yugi said.
Atem looked at him. "What? No there's no way. This isn't a heat."
"It is. When a heat is ignored this is what happens. The city gives out meds each month for it but he's out." Yugi said.
"I see." Atem said putting two together.
"Atem please. I know you have no reason to help me. I've been nothing but cold towards you but Yukio needs it. Please." Yugi said. "I'll owe you big time."
Atem sighed. "Alright. Wait here." He stepped out.
Yugi held Yukio's hand. "It'll be ok Yukio."
Atem came back in 5 minutes later. "It took some strings but i got some. Seto is bringing it now."
Yugi sighed in relief. "Thank you so much."
"Yugi how can he be out of meds? You get them monthly right?" Atem asked. "As well as one heat a month right?"
Yugi nodded.
"Then how is he out?" Atem asked.
"I don't know." Yugi said. "I just know I need to help him."
Atem nodded and sat down. "Well the meds are coming."
"Thank you." Yugi said quietly.
Atem nodded.
2 hours passed before Seto got there with the meds. Yugi got Yukio to take them. He went the cloth again and helped Yukio fall back asleep. When his friend was fast asleep he left the room quietly. He heard Seto and Atem talking in the kitchen.
"Atem that was a bitch to get." Seto said.
"I know I owe you." Atem said. "But Yugi seems to really care for Yukio."
"Think they're dating?" Seto asked.
"No. Yugi made it clear he isn't interested in that right now." Atem said.
"I see." Seto was quiet for a moment. "You know why Yukio was out of meds?"
"They get enough for a heat a month." Atem said.
"Then you realize this must be Yukio's second heat of the month." Seto said.
"But is that possible?" Atem asked. Yugi wondered the same.
"It's rare but possible." Seto explained. "Yukio is Beta right?" Atem must have nodded because Seto continued. "Betas use different doctors because there are many different illnesses for them than us or even Omegas. It could be something underlying."
"I'll see if Yugi wants to take him to his doctor." Atem said.
"He seems to be on your mind a lot." Seto told his cousin.
"He's….amazing." Atem said. "Smart, hot, active, and strong. I mean here he is three years after leaving his father's with nothing to support himself and made it huge."
"Oh yeah? Well i looked into his background." Seto said.
"Oh?" Atem asked. "Why?"
"Atem you need to understand you may not get him." Seto said.
"I not trying-" Atem started.
"You are. But you need to understand it won't happen." Seto said.
"What are you talking about? What did you find?" Atem asked.
"It's not my place to tell you." Seto said. "And don't go pushing him either."
Yugi took that moment to walk in. "He's asleep."
"That's good." Atem said. "Yugi i think you should take Yukio to the doctor."
"Won't happen." Yugi said simply as he pulled some glasses out. He poured them each water then poured some for himself. Holding up ice from the freezer he offered it to them. Atem nodded while Seto shook his head. Putting ice in his own then Atem's he put the trays back in the freezer. He took the glasses to them and sat down.
"What do you mean it won't happen?" Seto asked.
"Yukio hates doctors. He only goes for the required follow ups for the meds." Yugi said.
"You have to do follow ups?" Atem asked.
Yugi nodded. "It keeps up for doses in case they need to change."
"Makes sense." Atem said.
Yugi nodded and drank half his water down. He would never get Yukio to see a doctor willingly. Just mentioning it he knew Yukio would fight it. His fingers rubbed the cold glass slightly.
"He won't go. Not willingly." Yugi said.
"Well maybe you should just take him." Seto said. "He's clearly in pain."
Yugi sighed. "It won't be easy." He muttered.
"I could help." Atem offered. Seto sent him a scowling look but Atem ignored it. "I'm sure I can persuade him."
Yugi hesitated. Atem and Seto's conversation came to his mind. He really couldn't get close to anyone. Let alone an Alpha.
"No it's ok." Yugi said. "He'll feel more comfortable if I just take him."
Atem nodded silently.
"Well this has been fun but Atem you and I have meetings." Seto said.
"Right." Atem stood. He thanked Yugi for the water and told him if he needed help he could call. Yugi nodded. He couldn't be sure but it seemed like there was a slight….hurt in Atem's eyes. It made him feel like crap but he couldn't get close to Atem. He just couldn't.
"I can show you out." Yugi said. He walked out determined not to let them hesitate. He opened the front door as they walked over.
"Well if you need me. You have my number." Atem said.
Yugi nodded silently. Atem seemed to want more but he wasn't going to give it to him. This was it. He needed to end whatever this was between them before it got to deep.
Atem and Seto left, leaving Yugi standing by the door alone. Silence fell over him. This was getting ridiculous. He couldn't trust anyone. Couldn't open up to anyone. It was starting to take a toll on him.
There were nights when he'd longed to be everything to someone. But...when he thought he was that someone hurt him. Left him. He wouldn't go through that again. Wouldn't chance it. Right now he needed to focus on helping Yukio.
Yugi's vacation passed and he was back at work. Running around the kitchen he made sure everything was perfect for the night. They had a full house as usual. But one customer in particular was his focus.
He pulled his staff to the center of the kitchen. "Alright. Tonight we need to be especially focused. I won't accept any fuck ups. Am I clear?" He ordered. He'd learned quickly in order to run kitchen right you needed to be tough on the staff.
"Yes chef!" They said. He had to admit though, they were extremely loyal.
"Dismissed." Yugi said. He nodded to the host that they were ready to open.
Within minutes orders were coming in. It was crazy and quickly heated up in the kitchen but this was what he loved. The fast pace, making sure each dish was perfect before going out for their customers to love and enjoy. It was his life's work and worth all the hard work he had to go through.
An hour into the dinner rush the host came to him.
"He's here." He told Yugi.
Yugi looked at him. "Give him the best table."
"He brought others with him." The host said. "A man, woman, and two children."
"Then show them a quality table, be polite and take their order. But I will be serving them." Yugi said.
"Yes chef." He said before leaving. This was what he was waiting for. Yugi didn't think he'd bring the others but then again he wasn't that surprised.
Five minutes later their orders came in. He nodded. He could do this. This was his city. His restaurant. His life.
Yugi and his best sous chef worked on the order. Yugi nodded his thanks before taking the order out. He looked at the table. On the right...was his father. Next to him was Heba then Heba's wife and their two children. He hadn't met his niece yet and this wasn't exactly the way he wanted to do it but he didn't have a choice now.
Taking a deep breath he went to the table and started setting the plates down. "Good evening."
His father looked up and his eyes widened. "Yugi."
Heba looked, "Little brother. You're a waiter here?"
Yugi snorted. "Hardly."
His father looked him up and down. "Bus boy then?"
Yugi couldn't help but wonder if his father was just fucking with him. Surely he'd heard of how amazing the chef of this restaurant was. Or else he wouldn't be here. His father had extremely high standards.
"Have you heard of the chef here?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. That's why we came. I was discussing it with a boy named Jordan and he told me of it." he said.
"They." Yugi said.
"Excuse me?" His father asked.
"Jordan is non-binary. They use the pronouns, them/they." Yugi said.
Yugi's father made a cringing face. "I don't believe in that crap."
"And that is part of why I left." Yugi muttered. "Anyways, the chef made his way from bottom to top in a matfer of three years." Yugi said.
"Impressive." Heba said. He tasted the food. His face lit up. "This is amazing."
Yugi smiled. "Thank you."
"Bring the chef out, let us give him our compliments." Heba said.
"Here I am." Yugi said.
They froze. Both looking shocked.
"You?" His father accused.
"Yes me. I am the chef here. This is my food you are eating." Yugi said.
They were silent.
"Well don't think this changes anything." His father said.
"Father-" Heba started.
"Hush." His father ordered. He turned his cold eyes to Yugi. "You do this on purpose? Set this up? To impress me or something?"
"What?" Yugi looked at him. "You think I sit around all day everyday trying to find ways to impress you? I don't need your approval father. It's clear I've made it without you, and without a mate."
"You are still unmated?" He growled.
"Too busy for one. Glad you enjoy the food. Goodbye father." Yugi said.
He went back to his kitchen and continued working. He wasn't trying to prove anything, just wanted to see the people who used to be his family enjoy something he made.
The rest of the night passed quickly. Once home he kicked his shoes off and plopped on the couch. Stretching he sighed. He could really go for a nice hot shower but at the same time he was so tired he just wanted to sleep.
Tonight was probably the last he'd see of his family and honestly, he felt nothing. Not a thing. Sure he should probably feel sad or angry or just upset but he didn't. Oh well.
Yawning, he went to his bathroom and undressed. He turned on the water and stepped in. It felt so good. He stood there and just let it pour over him. It felt as if everything from that day was washing away. Cleansing him inside and out. From here out he would be ok.
Three more weeks passed and the kittens were now active and running around the nursery. His runt was the cutest little love bug he'd had since Akita was a kitten. Atem had come by to see his kitten a few times since he'd picked her out.
Yugi sat watching Atem play with her. It was cute. Seeing him connect with the kitten more was good. He felt just fine with Atem taking her.
Atem soon left and Yugi was left alone again. Sighing he laid on the couch. He knew it was going to be one of those nights. He'd lay here longing to be held. Longing to be loved. But knowing that wouldn't happen. Couldn't happen.
It was hard being alone all the time. It made him miserable sometimes. But at the same time there were times when being alone was what he needed. It was one of those things that could go either way depending on the day.
Recently though, he was wishing for someone to hold him and tell him what he did was perfect. To tell him he could do this. Could make it in life. He needed someone to push him forward.
Curling up he turned on the TV and stared at it blankly. He knew the emotions he was feeling were just temporary. He would grow out of them and be fine. For now he'd embrace them and let them take over him for a while.
The man paid the taxi driver before getting out. He stood in the center of the city. So this was where his ex escaped to. Interesting.
He pulled out his phone and pulled up the paper he got through his connections. On it was Yugi's address. Close to the center of the city that should make this fun.
Smirking he made his way to the house and looked at it. It was cute. He'd give Yugi that much. Perfect for him to work out of. Perfect to make the Omega his perfect little toy.
He grinned and went to the door and knocked. When he heard the door unlock he looked forward and smiled.
Yugi opened it and froze when he saw who was at it.
He smirked down at Yugi. "Hello boy." He smirked.
Yugi paled. "Kenta."
Ok all so I'm gonna be really busy today I'm ending it there. Hope you enjoyed it! Please review! It really does motivate me! Love you guys!
