Chapter 13: I Missed You
Yami felt exhausted but he ignored it. He was more focused on Yugi. The group had been there for about an hour now and Yugi's heart had failed again but they managed to bring him back.
Yami suddenly froze when he heard Yugi's heart had failed again and he felt tears form in his eyes as they tried the heart defibrillator about five times now.
Serenity covered her mouth with her hands while Anzu's eyes were wide. Joey hugged Seto's arm while Seto watched through the window with narrowed eyes. Yami felt his heart quicken and his breathing quicken as well. Yugi couldn't be gone. He couldn't. Yami needed him.
"Maybe we should give up." One of the other doctors said.
"Not in a million years! I'm determined to keep this boy alive! He has people who loves him waiting out there for him to be okay! I refews to let him die!" The doctor in charge snapped as she tried again. This went on for two more times until there was a quick cheer.
"He's back! Now hurry up and stop that bleeding!" She ordered and the doctors quickly got to work. Yami sat there frozen with his eyes wide. They had managed to save Yugi! Yami whipped his tears away. He pulled his knees up to his chest and hugged them tightly putting his forehead against his knees and staring at his lap.
"Poor guy," Joey muttered quietly as he watched Yami. "He must be hurting a lot." Seto grunted in agreement while Serenity hugged Anzu.
They had almost lost Yugi again but they managed to keep his heart going and another hour later they finished. Yami's head shot up when he heard the doors open and he saw the lead doctor shoot a few orders around before she turned and walked over to the group.
"How is he?" Yami asked eagerly. He had to know how Yugi was doing.
"Well, he isn't doing very good. He lost a lot of blood and I don't think he will wake up tonight but if he does, that will be a miracle." She reported. "His wounds were bad to but we managed to close them and stop the bleeding. He is now being taken to room 113 on this floor level. You can go see him if you'd like."
Yami nodded and stood up. The head doctor watched with a smile as the group walked down the hall. That boy was lucky to have friends there to help him through this.
Yami opened the door to room 113 and his heart broke at the sight. There was an IV drip in Yugi's arm and his face was pale. There was also a heart montor showing Yugi's heart beats which were steady for the moment.
Yami walked over to the bed and pulled a chair over. He sat down and looked over Yugi, tears thretaning to spill and roll down his face.
"Oh Yugi," Yami whispered painfully and his voice cracked. "I'm so sorry..." Joey, Tristan, Seto, Serenity, and Anzu had all agreed that Yami should be the first one to see Yugi since he was hurting more than them.
Half an hour passed and Yami sat there in silence still fighting his tears in a seemingly endless battle.
Yugi slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times to try and clear his vision. He felt someone beside him so he slowly turned his head and he gave a weak smile when he saw Yami sitting there. Yami had a shocked expression on his face and tears were quickly gathering in his eyes.
"Y-Yugi..." He whispered out and Yugi gave Yami another weak smile.
"H-hi..." Yugi muttered painfully and weakly. Everything was a dull pain but at least it was dulled.
"I...I almost lost you!" Yami cried. "Please! Don't do that to me again!" Yugi gave Yami a weak smile.
"I-I'll t-try not to." Yugi whispered softly. Yami carefully climbed into the bed with Yugi and made sure not to hurt Yugi. He then carefully wrapped his arms around Yugi protectively and Yugi snuggled up to Yami's chest.
"I missed you," Yami whispered softly running his hand through Yugi's hair. Yugi smiled and snuggled even closer to Yami's chest feeling safe.
"I missed you to. I'm glad that you didn't leave," Yugi whispered as he felt exhaustion quickly taking over.
"Why would I? I love you to much to do that," Yami whispered softly.
"Love you to...Yami..." Yugi whispered softly before falling asleep. Yami gave a small smile as he ran his fingers through Yugi's hair again.
"Goodnight my beautiful hikari." He whispered before falling asleep himself.
The nurse came in later that night to tell everyone to go home. She told Seto, Joey, Tristan, Anzu, and Serenity to go home but when she entered the room she couldn't help but smile at the sight. Yami was holding Yugi close to him protectively while Yugi was snuggled up to Yami's chest. They both had peaceful looks on their faces so she decided to leave them alone and come back in the morning.
