Chapter 12

Between Sora and Yuto, he didn't think Yuya would have really been able to hurt either of them. Yuto nodded and carefully and swiftly scooped Yuya into his arms, " Let's fine a place for you to lay down then. Tell me where I need to take you." He urged him, having no frame of reference in this place, " Yuya, I'm getting concerned about that. That was such a small thing to trigger that. It was earlier too. I'm worried that whatever it is inside of you is getting way worse than it used to be." He would have thought that it would have gotten better, but that wasn't even close to what had brought it out before, " I haven't. . .figured out how or who exactly yet, but I think we need to get you checked out for that. There's got to be some way to release some of that from you. You should be able to get angry without it escalating to. . .that. . ." He frowned.

" There should be a couch just down this hall and to the left. There's a room and it has a couch." He explained as he pointed straight down the hall. He blushed when Yuto scooped him up in his arms. He showed him where to go when they had started heading down the hall then took a left and there was a room, " I wouldn't know how to do that exactly. . .Or who." He said, hating himself to have worried Yuto. He didn't really trust talking to someone then they say something that will trigger that side of him then he loses it and attacts someone. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if he had harmed anyone, " I-I don't know just what Sora said made me angry. I guess i'm just too weak to fight against it."

Yuto followed Yuya's directions, taking him to the room and laying him down on the couch. He set on the couch edge by Yuya's legs, looking down at him, " Don't under estimate yourself, Yuya. You're a very strong person." He urged him, " There's just something going on with you." He continued, trying to think hard over who they could possibly ask about this.

. . .Oh. . .One option did come to him, but he wasn't so sure that he liked it. But he supposed it was still better than the secondary alternative that he didn't even want to consider.

Yuya was laid on the couch, he still didn't believe himself strong as Yuto thought he was. He didn't have any idea on who they could have help him or on how to do it. He didn't understand any of it. He wanted to get better but he just didn't know how he could get this anger he held deep inside away. His head still hurt really and when he would try to lay up his head would just get dizzy. Maybe the duel wouldn't be such a good idea right now. He didn't even think he could stand up without getting dizzy right now.

Yuto gently put a hand on Yuya's leg, stroking it hopefully comfortingly, " Yuya, you should take a nap. I think you need it." He urged him. He'd think more on this, maybe talk to Yuzu if he needed to. For now, he just wanted Yuya to rest, " Don't worry about the duel right now. Just focus on getting better." He urged him. Seeing Yuya like this worried him. He wanted to be able to help him however he could. He was relieved that he could at least calm him. It would be a lot worse if he couldn't.

Yuya nodded and closed his eyes falling asleep real quickly. He didn't want to but he couldn't really keep his eyes opened anylonger. He was glad Yuto wasn't mad about them not having their duel and would have to apologize to him later for it, or atleast make it up to him later on once he felt better. Yuto watched Yuya sleep for a moment. Poor Yuya. . .He hated that he had to go through that. There had to be some way to at least aleeviate it a little bit. It felt so much worse. It wasn't like he'd ever turned that way when he'd gotten mad at Reiji before and he could tell that he was angry then. He couldn't help but continue to think that somehow this was all his fault. He hated that it was. But he would try and fix it somehow. Yuto hesitated before he picked up Yuya's duel disk, using it to message Yuzu since he didn't have her number. He had half an idea for a possible plan, but he would need her help with it.

Yuzu had heard the news from Sora and was looking for both Yuto and Yuya when she had got a message. The message told her where they were and headed to the room. Once she got there she knocked on the door and opened it softly seeing Yuya asleep, " Is he alright?" She asked in a whispered tone so she didn't wake the other. Sora had left by then she believed she he had disappeared.

She walked into the room and closed the door. Wondering just really what happened, all she knew she was waiting for them then Sora came in and told her. She had been worried and went looking for them. Yuto looked up at Yuzu, then back down at Yuya, " Yeah. . .he'll be okay. He's just worn out now." He explained quietly. He didn't exactly want to leave Yuya's side at the moment. He should and he knew Yuya would be fine on his own, but. . .he just felt like he should be there when Yuya woke up. He wasn't sure how long he would be napping for anyway. Yuto was starting to wonder if he really should leave tomorrow. He'd have to. . .see how things went for Yuya. If he needed him, he would stay longer.

Yuzu sighed in relief glad to hear that he was ok but just worn out. She didn't quite understand what had happened really Sora didn't go into full detail just saying that the duel was cancelled and that something happened with Yuto and Yuya. She saw Yuya sleeping and could see he was worn out really. But he did looked troubled and so did Yuto. She didn't like seeing them both troubled they were her good friends.

Yuto looked back to Yuzu, " Did you arrange what I asked of you? I know it's an odd request, but. . .I'm a bit at a loss of what to do for Yuya." He explained, " You can come with us too of course. I'd almost prefer it." He noted to her. Yuto wouldn't be going anywhere until Yuya woke up though. He'd be there for him when he woke up to make sure he was okay.

Yuzu nodded, " Yeah I did, and no it's alright really Yuto, i'm kind of worried." She said, " If you want me too, Yuto, I wouldn't mind to go." She told him. She really wanted Yuya to be ok and it broke her heart to see Yuto upset like this. He wanted to help Yuya and he really didn't know how. She knew that Yuto wanted to be there for Yuya to wake up; she didn't know if Yuto was gonna wake Yuya up or just let him sleep alittle longer. She could see how much Yuto cared about Yuya.

Yuto nodded, " I think you should." He wanted Yuya to have as much support as possible, so having Yuzu there too would be nice. Yuto reached over and gently brushed the bangs from Yuya's face. He was definitely not going to wake him up. He would wait for Yuya to wake up naturally. It was just a nap, so he wasn't sure how long it would take. By now it'd been at least 40 minutes he figured, maybe more. But it was fine, he'd wait however long Yuya needed to recharge.

Yuzu nodded, " Alright i'll go with." She said as she watched Yuto and smiled. Yuya had made a soft noise and turned slightly still asleep. She thought it was really sweet of Yuto to be like that with Yuya. She was glad she could trust Yuto to watch Yuya when he went to Heartland. She probably wouldn't let him if Yuto wasn't there. By the way he was acting she could probably guess that they were together offcially but she didn't know they had been holding hands when they came by the school yesterday.

If Yuzu asked him, he would tell her, but he also didn't know if she already knew or not. Yuya had gone ahead without him after all when he was taking on the phone with Shun. It was possible he could have told her then. Right then, though, his proirity was taking care of Yuya and making sure he was okay any way he could.

Yuzu looked at Yuto, " How was your day yesterday?" She asked, " I never got to ask about that anyway." She added as she sat down in the small chair that was in the other room. She didn't want it to be awkward or anything and she wanted to know how it went. She wanted to hear about how Heartland was doing, Shun and Ruri how they were doing.

Yuto was still trying to be fairly quiet since he didn't want to wake Yuya, but he looked at Yuzu and smiled softly, " It was very nice. Yuya told me you helped him think up things for it. I appreciate you always being there to help him." He began, " I'm not. . .sure if Yuya has told you yet, but. . ." He looked down to his sleeping counterpart again with a small smile and a blush, " I. . .asked him to be my boyfriend yesterday, and he said yes."

Yuzu smiled glad to hear that it went so well, " I'm was happy to help really." She said smiling softly at Yuya, " He's my best friend afterall and he just liked you so much he wanted you to have the best time while you were here." She added, She smiled happily when she heard that, " Congrates to the both of you." She said in a low whisper so she didn't wake Yuya. She thought it was sweet really; she knew their relationship was complicated but she felt it wasn't like that anymore now that they were officially together.

" I know that it won't be easy, being from different dimensions and all, but. . .I really want to make this work. If it means that I can be with Yuya, I'll do whatever I have to." He explained, gently brushing back Yuya's fallen bangs again, " I'll take good care of him. Starting with figuring out this. I swear, it never used to be this bad. . ." He frowned.

Hopefully this all worked out and he could at least help him a little bit. . .just like how Yuya wanted to help him with his PTSD.

Yuzu smiled watching him; it made her happy that he had said that. Yuya must've meant alot to him. She knew Yuto meant alot to Yuya when he had came back; Yuto was really all he talked about. She was happy that the relationship was working out, " It?" She asked wondering what he was talking about at this point. She looked over at Yuya worried; wondering what 'it' was. What was going on with her best friend? Yuto seemed to know what it was really.

" I'm not really sure." Yuto admitted, concern coming back to his eyes as he watched Yuya, " He has this darkness in his heart. . .and it's not him, it's. . .something else. But it seems to take him over sometimes and make him do things he wouldn't normally. I'm worried. . .that if he had that, that it's possible that I do too. Or at the very least, I did. My concern is that when I was merged with him, he got the combined force from both of us and. . .further on that, that when I left, it stayed with him." He explained, " I don't. . .want every time he gets angry for this to come out of him. . .and to think that it could be my fault is. . .heartbreaking." he admitted.

Yuzu looked at him never knowing this, " I never knew. . .he never told me, but he is the type of person who won't tell anyone what is going on or how he is feeling about certain things. He just doesn't want anyone to worry about him. He tries to please other people before helping himself." She explained then looked at Yuto, " But Yuto this isn't your fault at all. You are nothing but kind and sweet." She said as she got up and lightly placed her hand on his shoulder to reassure him, " Now that I remember correctly when he first used your card, he was acting strangely is that what it is?" She asked.

Yuto nodded, " Yeah, that was the first time. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure it happened right before he used Dark Rebellion." He noted, feeling an odd need to defend his Ace, " But yes, That did happen then. But it used to only trigger when he had something that was really high stress that triggered it and. . .even then, sometimes I was able to calm him a bit. But now it. . .it seems like it's happening just any time he gets mad about anything. It's getting to be too much for him." Yuto explained his observations, " I have to help him. Any way that I can. Before it gets worse and I lose him completely to it." He was thankful that Yugo and Yuri hadn't merged with him too. He really would have lost him if their darkness had all been combined like that.

" Oh I wasn't saying it was because of Dark Rebellion of course. S-sorry if it made it sound like I was." She said, " It's strange, I have only seen him do it that one time." She said, " Did he do it at all when he was in Heartland?" She asked, " I want to help him too. I may not still get what it is, but I want to help any way I can." She said looking at Yuya and then back to Yuto. Just then Yuya made a soft noise and opened his eyes slowly. He blinked himself awake and he guessed the nap had helped; his head didn't hurt anymore. He saw Yuzu was there but hadn't heard what they were talking about.

Yuto had his eyes on Yuya, so he definitely noticed, ignoring what Yuzu had been saying in order to pay attention to Yuya. He smiled at him, " Hey.~ Are you feeling any better?" He questioned gently, wanting to make sure he was okay. Yuto set his hand on Yuya's leg again, stroking the side softly with his thumb to give him that bit of added comfort.

Yuya looked at Yuto and nodded, " Yeah, that nap helped. How long was I out?" He asked, he didn't know how long he had slept for but guessed long enough that it helped his head stop hurting. He felt rested and relaxed now. He leaned up slowly just in case and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. Yuzu just watched the two it seemed Yuya was alright; but when really she knew this darkness was inside of Yuya. She agreed with Yuto that Yuya needed help and she would help out anyway she can.

Yuto nodded, " That's good. Not too long. Maybe an hour." He replied, not really having known just how long it had been. He wanted to tell Yuya about his plan, but he also wanted to make sure Yuya would be awake and prepared enough for it, " We can put off our duel for another day, by the way, so don't worry about that. I'm not in any rush. We'll have plenty of opportunities." He explained to him gently.

Yuya nodded as he tried to get himself more awake, " Sorry you got everything ready and we arn't dueling Yuzu." He apologized. She shook her head nad got up before crouching to look him in the eye.

Yuto put his arm around Yuya, though bent it so he could snake his fingers into Yuya's hair, resting his cheek against the side of Yuya's head, " Yuya, when you wake up a little more, I need to talk to you about something." He let him know gently, wanting to make sure he was awake and prepared. He knew he should probably give him more time than this, but he didn't want to wait exactly. He just wanted to help.

Yuya looked at Yuto and nodded. He wondered what the other had to talk to him about; but it was probably about what happened. He didn't know if Yuzu knew what happened or anything more. The more time passed Yuya managed to fully wake himself up. Yuzu watched the two; she knew what Yuto had to tell him. She walked back over to sit in the chair and wait for Yuya to wake up more. She wanted to stay in the room with them to atleast show them that she was there to help, and she would leave the room if they wanted her too. Yuto pet Yuya's hair softly, waiting for him to tell him he was okay. He didn't want to push him or anything. It was a little odd to be doing this with Yuzu just watching, but he just wanted to take good care of Yuya and make sure that he was well comforted. He felt like that was part of his job as his boyfriend. He would be patient and comforting for him.

Yuya looked at Yuto, " Alright I think i'm fully awake now." He told his boyfriend. He had to admit Yuto was making him feel so relaxed and loved, but it was weird to have Yuzu in the room watching them. It just felt weird to him really. He wanted to know what Yuto was wanting to tell him and if Yuzu was there to help or something. He didn't know when she had arrived but guessed it was when he was asleep.

Yuto nodded, pulling back a bit from Yuya so he could turn to face him a bit better, taking his hands, " Yuya. . .i'm worried about you. This darkness is taking you over way more often than I'm comfortable with and no, it's not because you're weak, because I know that you're very strong. Whatever this is. . .it's getting worse and. . .I need to know if there's anything we can do about it." He began, " I've thought very hard about it; if there's anything we can do. It wouldn't be as easy as going to a hospital because it's not medical. There is no treatment or surgery or anything like that that they could possibly offer you." Not that he liked the idea of Yuya going for surgery either, " But then I realized. It's. . .more on the spiritual level and so. . .I've asked Yuzu to arrange for us to go to Unno Divination School to meet with Mieru. I think she has the best chance of giving us some insight into this." Yuto explained his plan, pausing there to see if Yuya had any comments on this.

Yuya thought about it now; maybe she could help with this, " Ok we can try it. I mean that's the only other thing I could think of really." He said; he still didn't feel like he was strong because he's given into the darkness and let it take control.

" Yeah I don't think treatment or surgery wouldn't do anything." He said, " But yeah going to see Mieru seems like the best idea right now." He said, she could probably easily figure out and give them some insight and maybe know how to deal with it too.

" Yeah she said she can see us anytime. Whenever you want to Yuya." Yuzu said, " Whenever you two want to." she added. Yuto had a suspicion that she'd probably only said the first thing Yuzu mentioned, but he was out of options with it. He would just had to hope that by now, she'd given up on Yuya. . .although his hope on that was slim.

Yuto nodded, " So whenever you're ready, we can go. It doesn't have to be today either. But I'll be with you whenever you're ready. Yuzu said she would be coming with us too, so you have her support with this as well." He wasn't sure if Yuya was afraid or anything, but he just wanted to be sure.

Yuya looked at the both of them and nodded. He wanted to go ahead and go so they could figure this out, he didn't want to make them worry like he had, " I want to go ahead and go now." He said holding Yuto's hand and giving it a slight squeeze.

Yuzu nodded, " Alright i'll go let my dad know that i'm leaving." She said as she got up and walked out of the room.

Yuto waited for Yuzu to leave before he turned back to Yuya and leaned in, giving his cheek a kiss and his hand a squeeze, " We'll figure this out, Yuya. I don't want you to have to live in fear of anything." Yuto was getting more comfortable with little kisses like that, yes, but he still didn't want to do them in front of others. That was way too much for him.

Yuya smiled softly and kissed his cheek in return, " I know we will, I'm sorry for making you worry." He apologized. He didn't like making the other worry about him. To be honest he hadn't noticed that this was getting more bad; he somehow felt that the darkness was getting more strong deep inside him. He didn't want that; he didn't want it to completely take over him. He was really afraid of that happening really.

Yuto had been able to bring him back this time; but if it kept getting worse he wouldn't even come back for Yuto; to the point that he would even attack Yuto or someone else. He didn't want to ever think of that. Yuto shook his head, " I'm your boyfriend, it's my job to worry about you, Yuya." He clarified for him with a soft smil, " Besides, this is partially my fault too. I certainly didn't help with this." He added in, gently running a couple fingers down Yuya's chest where his heart would be, " But we can go as soon as Yuzu comes back. Hopefully Mieru will be able to help you. Or at the very least, point us in the right direction." The war was over and now they could live more peaceful lives. The last thing they needed to do with to just. . .clear up this darkness in Yuya's heart. Maybe if they figured out how, they could tell Yugo and possibly Yuri about it too. He wasn't sure if their's ever came up though.

" This isn't your fault Yuto." He said as he blushed as he placed his hand on Yuto's cheek. He didn't blame Yuto for it wasn't even his fault. This darkness was probably inside himself way before they even meant. He didn't remember though if it had ever shown itself though, " I'm glad you're my boyfriend you know? I'm just glad you are here." He said with a soft smile. He nodded as they just waited for Yuzu to come back, " Hopefully she can." He said, he didn't know if Yugo or Yuri had this same problem as he did; he didn't even know if Yuto did either. Once the door opened, Yuzu walked in.

Yuto smiled softly at that, giving Yuya's hand another squeeze, " I wouldn't be anywhere else when you need me." He assured him, " And I'm happy to be your boyfriend." Yuto just assumed that they did since it felt like. . .if Yuya had it, then they all probably did. Not to mention that both he and Yugo had succumb to it before when they had dueled. Luckily Yuya had been able to snap him out of it though before he really hurt Yugo. He looked up with Yuzu returned, nodding and getting up, offering Yuya has hand to go, " Come on. Let's go see what we can figure out.

Yuya smiled as he looked over to Yuzu then took Yuto's hand, " Yeah let's go." He said in better spirits than he was earlier. He was just that the two people that he cared for the most would be by his side. Yuzu smiled at the two before leading them out of You Show and to Unno Divination School where Mieru was waiting for them.

Yuzu smiled and looked at Mieru, " Hey Mieru." She greeted.

Mieru whirled around when she heard Yuya's voice, her face lighting up, " Darling!" She exclaimed, rushing up to him and diving in for a hug.

Yuto was a little quicker though, tugging Yuya's hand behind him so Yuya would stumble a couple steps closer to him, causing Mieru to just barely miss him and crash behind them. Yuto let out a quiet relieved breath. Yeah, still seemed like she liked him anyway.

She got right back up and patted off her dress as if that hadn't just happened, moving straight back to Yuya to grab his arm, " Darling, it's been so long! Mieru was getting worried you'd forgotten about her.~" She noted.

Yuto had to try very hard not to roll his eyes.

Yuya was expecting the hug she always gave him but glad that Yuto had prevented that from happening, " No of course not Mieru." He said as he held Yuto's hand. He thought she would have given up but guessed she hadn't.

" Anyway." Yuzu said stepping up trying to get back to the reason they were here, not that they forgot of course; well maybe Mieru, " You remember why we're here right?" She asked the young girl.

Mieru gave Yuya's arm a nuzzle, not even seeming to notice that Yuto and Yuya were holding hands. She was mostly just paying attention to Yuya. She was listening though, " Of course! I'll be helping out, Darling.~" She replied simply.

Yuto was a little tired of having to ask favors of people that he felt wanted Yuya for themselves that day, but. . .if it helped out Yuya, he supposed he could. . .put up with it. . .even if he wasn't so happy about it, " So, could we get to that part then?" Yuto encouraged, not pleased with her nuzzling his boyfriend like that.

She did pull back though, " Of course!" She exclaimed, then pattered back over to the table where her crystal apple sat. She picked it up, then sat herself on the floor in the middle of quite a few candles, there were some drawings of things on the floor and Yuto had to wonder if they were part of this or just decoration. Mieru patted her lap, " Come rest your head here, Darling.~" She encouraged him. Technically it wasn't necessary, but she'd done this with him the last time too, so she was hopping she could get away with it.~ She'd show him she could be a comfy lap pillow for him too.~

Yuya didn't like that she was nuzzling him and he could tell Yuto wasn't liking it either he tried to pull away not wanting to be touched really right now. He still felt on edge at this moment; he didn't mind if Yuto touched him though; because his touches were reassuring and gently, " Yeah, umm I'm just gonna lay my head on Yuto's lap Mieru." He had told her; he knew she was just using the excuse just like last time. So he really wanted to pass on that; he rather laying his head on Yuto's anyway.

Yuzu sat beside Yuya and just listened to them; she knew Mieru probably should calm down with the darling stuff with Yuto being there; she could see he was getting kind of annoyed with it more than anything and she understood.

Both Mieru and Yuto were a little surprised by the comment. Yuto had to try not to grin at that, but he was happy to hear that from him. It wasn't like he thought Yuya had any interest of being with Mieru anyway, but it was just reaffirming to him to hear Yuya pick him. Mieru pouted a bit, " But darling, it's easier if you're with me." She protested and Yuto almost believed her for a moment before noticing that she seemed to be weighing her options between Yuzu and Yuto. He supposed it was lucky that she was in the mind set that Yuya was straight if she thought Yuzu was her competition, but also. . .not good because he would prefer her not looking at Yuya like he could be her's anyway.

" But I. . .suppose that's okay." She allowed finally. She did need him to lay down anyway, " Come lay down here." She pointed, needing to shift her position.

Yuto let go of Yuya's hand, moving to where Mieru hand been to sit on the ground on his legs as Mieru had been doing. It was a little weird doing this, but also, he did want to help and it wasn't like he had an issue with Yuya resting on his lap. Yuya nodded and laid down where they had sat, laying his head on Yuto's lap. Even if she had not agreed he would lay his head in Yuto's lap anyway. Once he was laid down he didn't really know what to do next. So he just waited for her to give the next directions.

Yuzu sat beside them and was shocked to hear that; he had done it the last time but guessed he just felt more comfortable with laying his head in Yuto's lap, " So what now?" She asked not sure of what next.

Mieru sat beside Yuya's head and Yuto's lap, holding her crystal apple, " Just be patient." She urged Yuzu as she tried to focus, speaking some things into her crystal ball as she tried to see what she had seen last time. Yuto watched her, carefully. At least she seemed pretty focused on what she was doing now that she was in business mode which was a relief. He looked down to Yuya in his lap, trying to silently if Yuya was doing okay with his eyes. He wasn't sure if he could do that with anyone other than Shun though. But he would like to think he could form that kind of silent communication bond with Yuya too. He didn't want to talk to Yuya or touch him more than Yuya just laying in his lap and distract Mieru at all. As much as he would like her to know that Yuya was his boyfriend and she needed to back off, "Ah!" She exclaimed finally, making Yuto's eyes shoot up to her, " I'm starting to- AHH!" She shrieked a bit, looking a bit afraid, " Darling, the darkness in your heart seems to have grown bigger since last time!" She explained worriedly. Yuto tensed a bit. He had a feeling. . . her eyes narrowed a bit as though she was trying to look for something else, " And. . .that second soul in your heart is gone now too." She noted, seemingly like she was trying to find it in that darkness too, though her hands were trembling a little bit.

Yuya just laid there all relaxed until she had shrieked; his eye's widened, " W-what do you mean it's bigger!?" He asked shocked he didn't know if he should be moving but he couldn't help to move after hearing that. Of course the other soul was gone because he was right there with them. It had been Yuto she had seened that one time. Yuzu gasped softly at this; she never would have known someone so sweet and kind like Yuya would hold some much darkness. She wondered how it had gotten so big and how they could just get rid of it completely. Yuya had been wondering the same of course. He never knew it was that bad since it seemed to cause the girl to shake like that. He leaned up just worried really; he has had so much darkness in him and he didn't know why.

Just knowing she was looking deep into his soul was making him rattled and knowing how big it was. . .was it really that bad? He knew he had those times back in Heartland and. . .Heartland the dimension that had been destroyed because of Academia. . .the place that Sora, Yuri, Dennis and all the other Academia students thought it was all a game to hunt and card people. . .Sora even thought of it as a game still. His eyes darkened once more immediately feeling with hate. Yuto immediately saw it happen since he was looking right at Yuto, " Yuya calm down!" Yuto said as Yuya looked at him nearly not recognizing him as he pushed Yuto back onto the floor. Staring over him. He didn't have his duel disk on him having both left them on the table just across the room. Yuto easily could restrain Yuya but he didn't want to hurt him, only just get him calmed down, " Yuya, look at me. Just calm down don't let the anger take over you. . .we're trying to get rid of this darkness in you right now." Yuto said softly trying to get him calm. He was glancing over to Yuzu and Mieru to tell them to back up slowly and try not to startle Yuya so he wouldn't attack them. He wouldn't let Yuya harm them but he knew Yuya would feel bad for hurting them. Yuya was beginning to return; eyes returning back to their normal soft loving ones. He nearly fell on Yuto completelt drained but aware which he he didn't want to do especially with Yuzu there. She's never really seen it except for that one time, " Are you ok now?" He asked as Yuya looked at him fully aware of what he did.

" I-i'm sorry Yuto. . ." Yuya apologized. He didn't mean to hurt Yuto if he did or Yuzu and Mieru which the two didn't seem at all harmed in any way. Yuto gently stroked Yuya's hand as he sat back up with Yuya on him.

" It's ok Yuya I promise I know you didn't mean to, you didn't hurt me i'm fine see?" Yuto said showing him no wounds or anything, " But let's try to figure out how to get rid of this darkness alright?" Yuto said softly as Yuya nodded.

Yuzu hadn't really expected that to happen really. That was her second time seeing him do that, well now that she thought about it third. She knew he got like that alot during Synchro just never seeing it really. Atleast Yuya hadn't hurt anyone, Yuto looked unfazed and unharmed which was good. But she did know Yuto could take care of himself.

Yuto gently pushed Yuya back down to lay down again, letting him rest his head on his lap. He didn't like the sound of this either, but he had a feeling, " Mieru, is there anything we can do about this? To at least. . .lessen it?" He questioned her. Mieru seemed to battle with ideas in her head. He hoped that her concern for Yuya too would help her come up with something.

Mieru tilted her head to the side before her eyes widened in realization, " Well. . .there was one thing I remember reading about once. To cast away darkness, you need a pure light. So to cure a heart tainted with darkness, you need to purify it with a pure light." She attempted to explain., " So in other words, you might be cured if you share your first kiss with your true love.~" She presented, then bashfully brushed her hair back over her shoulder, " And darling, I know it's a little soon, but for you, I would gladly skip ahead a little if it means helping you out.~" She giggled, clearly gearing up for her expected kiss with her fated love. She'd read it in the cards after all!

Yuya laid back down but then blushed knowing that would mean he would be kissing. He looked up and Yuto. Yuzu walked up to Mieru, " Yeah I don't think you can help in this department." She said giggling. Yuya leaned up and looked at Yuto; he knew that Yuto was not really use to this kind of thing especially with other people around and he understood. He didn't know if Yuto would do it but then again he might.

" Kiss?" He asked; he's always wanted to kiss Yuto really but he also got nervous at that kind of thing. He was use to the eskimo kisses, kisses to the cheek and temple but not on the lips.

Mieru looked at Yuzu rather confused, " Huh? Why not? Darling and I are fated to be together! It appeared to me in my cards, so it must be true!" She pointed out, then pouted a bit at Yuzu, " I hope you're not suggesting that you're his true love." She knew it wouldn't be her! It was Mieru!

Yuto blushed rather deeply, getting both flustered and embarrassed at this result. Well he hadn't. . .exactly expected that. He had pretty much tuned Mieru out at this point, just keeping his eyes locked with Yuya. It wasn't. . .as though he would be against it. But now there felt like there was real pressure on him doing it right. They hadn't. . .kissed before. . well he supposed if they had, maybe he would have been able to help Yuya without even knowing it. . .granted that he was Yuya's true love, which. . .he hoped he might be. Both because he wanted to believe that Yuya was the person he would be with for the rest of his life, but also because if he wasn't, it would be pretty hard to find that person so quickly. He didn't want anything bad to happen to Yuya before that time. . .

" It's not me either." Yuzu said, she thought that she should take Mieru out of the room to give them some privacy.

Yuya could fell his heart beating fast as he stared at Yuto. Mieru and Yuzu were pretty much tuned out and really not there to him anymore. Yuya grabbed Yuto's hand and gave it a slight squeeze reassuring him that it was ok if he didn't want to kiss him. If he didn't he could try to figure another way to get ride of this darkness in his heart if anything. He knew he loved Yuto and he wanted to be with him for the rest of his life really. Yuto swallowed and gave Yuya a soft nod. He returned the squeeze to his hand as well. He would do anything for Yuya. And really, this wasn't a bad thing. He did want to kiss Yuya at some point. He just. . .didn't expect it to be exactly like this.

" Huh? Is there someone else? Wait, is it that other girl that looks like you?" She questioned, just not getting it, " Or some girl from sch-" Mieru began but got interrupted.

" I'll do it." Yuto finally told Yuya verbally, keeping his eyes on him and still not really listening to the girls talking.

Mieru was definitely listening to him though. Her head snapped up, " Huh!? D-Do what? It won't work if you kiss me! Just because you look like my darling doesn't mean-" She stopped, starting to notice that Yuto wasn't even looking at her. She was looking at Yuya. But. . .what!? What was he even saying!? Mieru was getting so confused by all this.

Yuya blushed, " Yuto you don't have to if you don't want to." He said looking at Yuto; he wanted to but not if Yuto was uncomfortable about it. He held his boyfriend's hand and smiled soft to reassure him not breaking eye contact. Yuzu just looked at the girl; she must've been in too much denial at this point she didn't want to believe it. She didn't want to stare at the two and make them uncomfortable so she decided she should take the other girl away.

Yuto blushed, " I. . .do want to." He clarified for him, blushing a bit deeper, " I'm. . .alittle nervous that I'll. . .do it wrong, but. . ." He admitted his concern on it, trying to ignore the fact that there were other people in the room. He had to kiss Yuya anyway, so he just. . .wanted to focus on Yuya.

Mieru was baffled, she leaned forward on her hands, poking her head over Yuya's, partially blocking Yuto's view, " Darling, you can't kiss him! There's no way that would work! He's not your true love! How could he be!?" Mieru just didn't understand this at all, " You might be very good friends," Especially good if he was agreeing to kiss him, " But true love is different! Like a romantic kinda love, not a friend love!"

Yuya smiled, " You don't have to worry about that Yuto." He said in a reassuring smile; he was totally ignoring Mieru right now and was too focused on Yuto really right now, " It'll be ok I promise." He said softly leaning his forehead against Yuto's. He was too focused to really listen to what Mieru was saying; if he wanted to kiss Yuto he would no matter what.

Yuzu used her hand to cover Mieru's mouth trying to calm her down at this point. She knew they were too focused on each other right now, but she was starting to get annoyed with Mieru's constant baffling. Yuto had noticed Mieru getting in the way again, though he forgot it completely when Yuya leaned his forehead against Yuto's, his heart racing now as he looked into his eyes. He really. . .he really did love Yuya. The feeling felt so solid in him in that moment. Maybe it was fast, but. . .he felt like with true certainty that he did. And. . .maybe. . .that would be the key to making this work. Yuto shut his eyes softly for a moment, just relaxing himself in the feeling of being so close to the person he loved and the comfort he felt in being with him. Yuya's words replayed a few times in his head, reminding him not to worry and it'll all be okay. He was right. It would be okay. It occured to him now that. . .even if he did mess up their first kiss somehow, Yuya wouldn't judge him for it. They would just. . .try it again. . .~ Work on it together until they got it right.

Yuto opened his eyes again, feeling more at peace with it now. This wasn't just anyone he was with, it was Yuya. His sweet and perfect Yuya. He gave him a tender loving smile, " Are you ready?" He barely murmured to him, giving the hand he held a little squeeze.

Yuya smiled warmingly at the smile he received from Yuto, " Yes always." He said softly. He was glad that it seemed that Yuto was relaxed. If Yuto had put his hand over his heart then he could feel it beating so fast because of how happy he was when he was with Yuto. He loved him and he felt he could say those words now. He had kind of noticed it got quiet thanks to Yuzu quieting Mieru and he was thankful really because she had started to really get on his nerves at that moment and he didn't want this moment to be ruined.

Yuto chuckled softly, " I guess in a moment though, we'll know just how real this all is. . .~" He pointed out. He was still inwardly nervous that he would kiss Yuya and nothing would happen, but. . .he didn't want to think too hard about that. He loved Yuya. He had just as much hope of being Yuya's true love as anyone else. Yuto leaned in slowly and carefully, gently pressing his lips to Yuya's in a soft kiss.

Yuya smiled before leaning in and pressing his lips against Yuya's; at that moment he could feel the darkness leave his body completely. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss really. He was glad to know Yuto was his true love. He was glad that the darkness was gone now and he could just hug Yuto to death after this. Once he leaned away from the kiss he smiled warmingly, " I love you Yuto." He said, just still in the moment right now; he just wanted Yuto to know that he loved him even if he couldn't say it yet.

Yuzu just watched just trying to not either squeal at how cute they were or to be embarrassed about it all. But she knew it had worked she just could see it in Yuya's eyes. Yuto could feel his own heal well up with a pure joy when they kiss, his whole body tingling from the sensation of kissing Yuya. It couldn't have lasted for more than a couple seconds, but the feel of it left Yuto was a dazed expression when they had pulled away. He'd hadn't 100% registered what Yuya had said to him at first, just feeling more of a strong desire to kiss him again. It'd been so nice. . .~ His priorities returned to him a moment later though, raising a hand to cup Yuya's cheek, eyes turning somewhat worried, " Did it work? We should probably check to be sure." He urged softly. Yuto looked up, " Mie-" He cut off when he saw her expression. Her mouth was still covered by Yuzu's hand, but her eyes were wide and her face looked like it had paled a bit. She was definitely more than a little shocked by that. Yuto swallowed and tried again, " Mieru, can you please check Yuya again. . .?" He needed to be sure. Yuto pulled back from Yuya completely and sat back again, looking at Yuya and giving his lap a pat to invite him back down again. Yuya looked over at the two forgetting that they were there, at this moment he hadn't even registered what he had said still feeling happy from the kiss. He wanted to kiss Yuto again really. He really felt his body still tingling as he had felt his body push away the darkness out of his heart. His chest felt better; it didn't feel all tightened up as it had before. He wanted to know if it worked as well; but he had already known it did but he wanted Mieru to confirm it for them.

Yuzu took her had away from the girl, " Yeah check Yuya and see if it worked." She said, even though she could feel it did work.

Yuto watched Yuya not move, eying him with some concern, " Yuya?" He pressed, still waiting for him to come lay down with him again. He was smiling though, so. . .maybe he was fine? Yuto blushed lightly. Was he in that much of a daze?

Mieru was shaking a bit, having no idea quite how to react to that. She clutched her crystal apple tighter, " I-I guess, but. . .the-there's no way that would have cured Darling." She said it couldn't be friend kisses after all! This clone of her darling couldn't be his true love. That didn't make any sense. He wasn't even from their dimension, right? The whole multi-dimension thing was still. . .something a little much for her. Mieru padded back over almost nervously either way. Well. . .as soon as they reaffirmed that it didn't work, then. . .maybe she could kiss him!

Yuya laid back down; laying his head in Yuto's lap once again as he waited for the girl to begin. He kind of figured Mieru would say that; cause she didn't know that he and Yuto were in a relationship. Of course the fact that she had a crush on him and she didn't want to believe it. He gave Yuto's hand a slight squeeze to reassure the other to show he was alright.

Yuzu looked at the two dimensional counterparts before looked at Mieru, " It could Mieru we never know until you check." She told her; even though she knew it did. It was sort of an odd angle to hold Yuya's hand at, mostly just holding his curled fingers in his own, though he kept his eyes on his counterpart, just wanting to make sure everything was okay.

Mieru was feeling rather weird about all this, though she tried to calm herself and to check Yuya's heart again, taking a moment to chant and call up what she'd seen before, full expecting to see that same black fog of darkness she'd seen just a moment ago. But. . .she gasped, " I-It. . .its. . .!" Yuto looked up at Mieru's stunned, fretting face, feeling more concern than anything. Did something go wrong? He didn't make it worse he hoped. He clasped Yuya's fingers a bit tighter in his as he waited on bated breath, " Gone!" She exclaimed finally. But how though? How was that possible? She looked up at Yuto with widened eyes. He was her competition!?

Yuya looked up at the girl then at Yuto, Yuzu smiled so happily glad to hear that it was gone and it was thanks to Yuto. She could see that now Mieru was stunned to hear it. She was happy to know that. Yuya leaned up and looked at Yuto with a soft smile then over to Mieru and Yuzu, " Thank you guys. Especially you Yuto." He thanked before looking at Yuto and laid his head against Yuto's shoulder. He truely felt free now; free from the darkness. He knew he wouldn't have to be afraid of it taking over him anymore. He knew he would have to apology to Sora later for what he had said to the other, but he felt he still couldn't forgive him for calling what happened in Heartland a game or how he treated Yuto.

Yuto smiled, " I'm happy I could help." He replied easily. And it wasn't exactly like the cost was high. Yuto had enjoyed that too honestly. He didn't think that was too surprising though. Yuto looked at the stunned looking Mieru, " It's not going to come back is it? If it does, can I just keep giving him kisses to keep it away. You said 'first' kiss, but. . .does that matter?" He questioned her.

Mieru was way too frazzled to process this, " K. . .Kiss him. . .again. . .!?" She dropped her face into her hands, " Wahhh! Darrrrliiiiing. . .!" she wailed. She couldn't believe he would just kiss this other version of himself like that! And that it worked! Maybe she'd been wrong about it being a 'true love' thing. M-Maybe it was just a friend love that worked. But they were acting so. . .! " Mieru was confident you wouldn't cheat on her with other girls but. . .!" She continued, rather distressed.

Yuto frowned. He was getting more and more tired of this. He supposed as long as she didn't actually try to kiss him. . .or touch him. . .or anything like that. Yuto got to his feet again, supposing the girl was too distressed right now to answer. But he figured that if there was some of the precaution with this, that she would contact them about it later when she'd calmed down. Yuto offered Yuya his hand to help him up, " Shall I take you home then? I'm not sure if you need to rest up after that or anything." He wasn't sure if dispelling evil from him like that was exhausting for him as well.

Yuya smiled and took the other's hand as Yuto helped him up. He could see she was shocked really; she could think of it like that he supposed but to him it was true love's first kiss, " Yeah even with that nap i'm kind of tired." He told the other ready to head home, " Mieru we weren't together ever." He said with a nervous laugh; he knew in her fantasy he was her's but in reality he wasn't; he was Yuto's.

" Yeah I got to head home and your mom is probably wondering where you two went." Yuzu said looking at them as she got up from the floor.

Yuto looked to Yuzu and smiled, " Yuzu. Thank you for being here. I'm sorry if it felt unnecessary, but I'm happy that you came. You're a good friend." He assured her in his typical charming manner. He was ignoring Mieru at this point. He hadn't. . .understood why she acted that way towards him, so he supposed he didn't know they're history exactly, but he could easily tell that he wasn't interested in her anyway. He was relieved though that she cared enough about him to want to help anyway. She did help. Yuto was pleased he could rest a little easier knowing that darkness was gone from Yuya now.

Yuzu smiled, " It was no problem at all Yuto. I'm just glad Yuya's gonna be ok now." She said looking at them before leading them out of the school, " Bye Mieru." She waved bye to the girl who was still stunned at this point.

" Thanks Mieru." He called before heading after Yuzu as he he held Yuto's hand.

" I'll see you two later." Yuzu said waving bye to them before heading home.

Yuya waved bye to his friend before turning towards Yuto, " Ready to head home?" He asked with a smile on his face.

Yuto smiled at Yuya and nodded, " Yes, let's." He agreed, giving Yuya's hand a little squeeze, " How are you feeling?" He questioned, just wanting to be sure. Yuya seemed fine, but. . .he could be wrong. At the moment he was more focused on Yuya's well being than how nice that kiss had been. But he would probably remember again as soon as that sort of mood returned.

" I'm good, just tired really." He answered as he held the other's hand and walked back to his house. He couldn't stop smiling at how happy he was right now, he did feel bad for what he did. He knew he didn't hurt Yuto but he would have. He loved how caring Yuto was with him. He really did love the other so much - he guessed that Yuto had been too caught up in the kiss to hear what he had said and he really didn't mind at all. He just felt the need to let his boyfriend know he he felt. He knew Yuto felt the same for him though; there was never a doubt in him about that. The way he cuddled up with him at night; the way he smiled so warmly at him, everything Yuto did just made him love him more. Yuto let Yuya lead them back home again, still not really having the hang of where everything was. He stepped inside with him again, greeting Yuya's mother before heading back up to his room with him.

He brought Yuya with him to the bed edge and sat down, " I'm happy that we were able to do something about that darkness in you. I would have hated if that had over taken you. I knew it was getting worse. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for, Yuya." He pointed out, " It did take over alittle bit but you managed to control it that time. You didn't hurt no one." He added.

Yuya had greeted his mom when they walked in and headed upstairs to his room where they both sat on his bed. He smiled and held Yuto's hand and gave it a slight squeeze, " Yeah i'm glad as well and it was thanks to you really Yuto." He said, " If I ever lost control and hurt you or someone I wouldn't be able to forgive myself." He added not wanting to think about that really. He knew Yuto would be able to defend for himself but he didn't want to think about trying to harm him, " I mean I almost did hurt you though but I. . .guess you were right that I was able to control myself then."

" Well we don't have to worry about it no more, Mieru even said the darkness was gone." Yuto said with a smile.

He felt each time something triggered it; that it was getting stronger. He felt like that since that time in the daycare; he had been able to stop himself, but the time in the hallway with Sora he was nearly ready to attack the kid; nearly attack Yuto as well when he had touched him. He saw both of them as an enemy. He was just glad to know he didn't really need to worry about that now.

Yuto nodded, " I'm just happy I could help and that it turned out to be something so easy. I mean. . .I supposed if I hadn't fit though qualifications though that it would have been tricky. We would have had to have found that person." He felt a bit too embarrassed to say 'true love' right then. But as much as it would have hurt him to know that Yuya evidently belonged with someone else, he would have still done his best to try and help Yuya find that person. He wanted him to be okay again after all, " But Yuya, even if you had hurt me, I know you wouldn't have meant it. You're not you like that. I wouldn't have even considered holding you against it, not even for a second." He assured him, giving his hand a squeeze.

Yuya looked at him and smiled, " I kind of knew it would have been you no doubt." He said leaning his head on Yuto's shoulder. He knew it was kind of embarrassing to him to say it but he needed to know that Yuya knew it was Yuto. He was just happy to know it was him. He was glad to hear that Yuto wouldn't hold it against him; not like he believed Yuto would. It just made him feel alittle bit better to know that really, " I know I would still feel bad about it."

Yuto put his arm around Yuya's shoulders, holding him close and resting his cheek on the top of Yuya's hair, " Well I'm glad you had so much confidence in me. I guess that attests to how highly you must think of me." He smiled, " And I understand. If I ever accidentally hurt you too, I wouldn't be so quick to forgive myself either." He agreed, stroking his arm gently.

" Of course." He smiled as Yuto put his arm around him it was just so relaxing, " I know you would never hurt me Yuto." He added softly; he knew Yuto would never hurt him ever. That was who he was; someone who didn't like hurting others. He was just like Yuya who would never cause harm to another. Yuya would rather die than hurt someone and that's how Yuto was. As he had said many times that Yuto only would consider violence if needed and that how Yuya was as well. if it was necessary then he would probably do it. But that darkness wanted to hurt anyone who thought was it's enemy; wanted to make Yuya hurt that person.

Yuto remembered what that darkness felt like; how it filled him with the strong desire to destroy. He'd hated that. That was not what he wanted for Yuya. Luckily. . .now he wouldn't have to deal with that anymore, " Not if I could help it anyway." He agreed. He wanted to protect Yuya and keep him safe and guarded. He peeked down at Yuya, " Hey, didn't you say that you were tired? You should lay down." He encouraged him, wanting Yuya to be able to rest more peacefully not that the darkness had left his heart. Yuto would be able to relax a bit more now too. He didn't want that to happen to him every time he got mad about anything.

Yuya looked at him, " I kinda am but at the same time i'm not." He giggled he was exhausted but he didn't feel like sleeping but he guessed it wouldn't hurt to rest probably for alittle bit and if Yuto went to sleep with him then if anything his mom would wake them up for dinner, if not then Yuto could wake him up when dinner was done. He then remembered he didn't know when Yuto was planning to go back home. If he wanted to or not; he didn't know if he had told Shun when he had called him before, " Oh yeah how was Shun and Ruri when you called them?" He asked.

" Well I'm not saying you need to sleep, but you should lay down. I can lay down with you if you'd prefer that." He offered, wondering if that was his resistance to it or not. He knew his boyfriend was pretty cuddly with him, " Oh, it went well. They're both doing well enough it seems, no mishaps or anything." He explained, " Oh, and I. . .told Shun that since I'd been resting well enough lately, that I was thinking about going home at some point tomorrow." He explained, supposing he should let Yuya know. Before he hadn't been sure if he should say anything or not because he wasn't sure at that point if he needed to stay for Yuya. But. . .Yuya seemed like he was doing better now anyway.

" Alright, that's fine then." Yuya said with a smile, " That's good to hear that they are doing good." He smiled, he kind of missed Heartland, Shun and Ruri just a bit. He nodded, " Alright I know you probably miss everyone so ok." He said, " But if I hear from Shun or Ruri that you arn't sleeping well or something's wrong I will be there." He said, " And especially now that your duel disk is fixed up we can communicate more. We can talk more that way." He said. He wanted to make sure Yuto would be ok, he hadn't had any nitemares in Standard so it seemed they only happened in Heartland. He knew Yuto had been sleeping well that was why he was ok with it; he just didn't want him to leave so soon.

Yuto shifted back onto the bed more to lay himself down, figuring Yuya was waiting for him to move first. That's sort of what they'd been doing lately. He didn't mind though. He liked being able to hold Yuya. . .~ Yuto nodded, " Alright, as long as it doesn't interrupt with your school or anything." He noted. Yuto could wait for Yuya to at least finish school for the day after all before paying him a quick visit or something, " Now that I know for sure that you're okay, I feel a bit more comfortable about going back. I just. . .want to be able to help again. I did very much enjoy my time here with you though." He smiled.

Yuya laid beside Yuto and cuddled close wrapping his arm around Yuto's waist. He didn't want Yuto to feel like he always had to cuddle him. He didn't mind to cuddle Yuto from time to time either, " It won't I promise. Like I said Yuzu or Mom will make sure I keep up with my school stuff." He said with a smile. Yuzu would always make sure he stayed awake in class and keep up his grades so he didn't fail and he knew his mom would make sure that he did the same before going to Heartland. Yuya wouldn't even mind to go to Heartland after school to help out; just like Yuto; rebuilding Heartland was important to him. He smiled when he heard Yuto say that; it made him happy to know that Yuto had fun while he was here, " I'm glad to hear that Yuto." he said, " Oh i'll tell mom that you plan to leave sometime tomorrow." He said.

Yuto nodded, " Alright. I haven't decided on when yet." He noted. He still did want to have that duel wtih Yuya. . .but then it could always wait until he came to visit next time. At least he knew that when that happened, Yuya wouldn't lose control like he had been starting to this time. Yuto just wanted Yuya to be safe and happy. He was going to miss Yuya though. He didn't know if Yuya would be coming back with him or. . .what, " When does your school start again?" Yuto questioned, softly stroking Yuya's back as he spoke to him.

He nodded when Yuto said that; he thought Yuto would want to leave early in the morning, but guessed he would leave at night if anything as well, " Umm I think in a week of two I believe. I got plenty of time until then." He said trying to think about really. He knew it was soon though; he didn't know if he would be able to go back to Heartland with Yuto or if Yuto would want him to stay here. He wanted to go back with him really.

" Hm, well that's good then." He noted. It meant he should have more time with Yuya for a little bit. Yuto had no issues with Yuya coming back with him. As long as Yuya took breaks from being there, then he saw no issue. He'd like to see him, really. Heartland, though, wasn't exactly the most interesting place right then. He didn't want to just make Yuya come back with him to work, " Are you looking forward to going back? I imagine a little normality after everything that happened would probably be nice." He mused.

" Yeah I kind of am. I love being in Heartland and more importantly being with you really." Yuya said nuzzling him closer. He would take breaks as they had planned but until school started he didn't mind to stay in Heartland for however long; he knew that he would have to take breaks as well and come back to Standard to hang with everyone and relax. He knew once school started back up it would be less time to be with Yuto but that was the reason they had gotten Yuto's duel disk so they could still communicate as well as have Yuto be able to come visit when he could. As long as he could hear Yuto's voice he would be happy.

Yuto blushed lightly and grinned as well, " I love being with you too, Yuya." He confirmed for him softly, continuing to stroke his back, " But I mean school, not Heartland." He chuckled, " But, like I said to you before, you can come to Heartland any time you want. Just as long as you take breaks and keep up your school stuff." He settled for him. Yuto was looking out for Yuya's best interests as well of course.

Yuya giggled, " Oh yeah kind of; school is kind of boring but I guess It's not that bad." He said, " I promise I will as long as you do as well." He said with a smile. He knew he would have to keep up with school and go to Heartland as well. It wouldn't be bad to do that really. He could balance both school work and going there easily as long as he was with Yuto he would be happy.

Yuto chuckled, " I keep telling you, Yuya. I'll be coming here to see you once a week. You don't have to worry about that." He pointed out. Yuto didn't think he would need a lot in the way of breaks, but one day in Standard a week with Yuya sounded like it would be more than enough. Especially stretched out a little since odds are he'd come over the night before and leave the next morning. So. . .two nights with Yuya.~

" I know." He said with a smile he knew Yuto would come one day to spend with him and all that. He knew this would work and it wasn't as if they couldn't see each other anytime really. He could even call Yuto during lunch when he was at school or even after school if anything He knew Yuto would takes breaks so he could be able to talk to him, " I'll have to tell my mom that i'm gonna go back with you to Heartland as well." He said, knowing he would probably forget about that.

Yuto peeked down to Yuya curiously, " You're going to come too?" He questioned. He didn't have a problem with that, but he was a little surprised. . .well. . .maybe he wasn't that surprised. Yuya had been pretty attached to him lately and. . .well there was pretty good reason for that. They just started their new relationship, so it wasn't that surprising that they wanted to be around each other so constantly. Yuto had to admit, he missed Yuya quite a bit when they were separated before too.

Yuya looked at him and nodded, " Yeah, is that ok?" He asked. He probably guessed that Yuto was more surpristed to hear it really. He knew he kind of seemed clingy towards Yuto but he just wanted to be with him, but he knew Yuto didn't want him to he would tell him not. He wanted to make sure Yuto would be able to sleep well in Heartland as well so even spending one night there in Heartland would be fine with him unless Yuto had a nitemare. He knew if Shun, Ruri or even Yuto had a problem with him staying there all the time they would tell him and he wouldn't mind if they told him to go on home or something.

Yuto nodded, " Of course. I just didn't know if that was your plan or not." He explained, " Y'know, Shun asked me if you were coming or not. So I guess he's learning to expect it too." He gave him a grin, " And I. . .told him that you're my boyfriend now too. I imagine he also told Ruri." The teen explained, in case he was wondering, " I also told Yuzu since she was asking about yesterday, but she. . .could probably guess we have something after. . .earlier." He blushed, looking away again.

Yuya felt happy that he told Shun about them being boyfriends it made him happy knowing it was probably hard for to talk about that kind fo stuff to Shun, " I guess he's pretty use to having me around really." He said, " He probably did." He added. He guessed he didn't really tell Yuzu how it was or really never got the chance to. He was gonna tell her when they arrived back the at You Show to have that duel, but that didn't happen really. Yuto wanted to tell Shun because Shun was his best friend and to leave out something like him having a boyfriend felt like a pretty big oversight. Even if it was a weird topic for them, he just wanted to let him know. It wasn't like they would be gushing about it or anything like that. It was just something they both now knew.

" Well even if he's not, it'll be something he has to get used to." Yuto shrugged, " This isn't something I anticipate changing any time soon." He noted, rather confident about his relationship with Yuya. His feelings for him only seemed to grow stronger after all.

Yuya giggled at that, " That's true." He said with a smile. He was glad to see that Yuto was feeling more confident about their relationship. He was rather confident about it too. He was just embarassed to have people watch them just as Yuto. He understood it was embarrassing really, but it seemed like Yuto and even himself were getting more and more confident about their relationship.

Yuto smiled softly, just admiring Yuya's smiling face. It was an expression on him he really liked seeing. . .~ Of course Yuya knew that. Yuto wasn't exactly forthcoming with information like that. It still felt weird for him to be in a relationship like this. After having been at war for so long, to finally have time like this felt. . .unreal. But he supposed falling for someone wasn't exactly something that fell on a specific timeline. Just. . .whenever you met that right person and. . .he supposed he had. And Yuya was a good boyfriend. He was always looking out for him and he was very loyal. Yuto did worry that all his worrying about him might take away from that fun and happy Yuya that he fell for, but. . .right then, it wasn't too big of a concern for him. Yuya loved to see Yuto smile; it made him happy really. He loved the things Yuto did and said because they made him feel so tingly. He could kind of figure Yuto wasn't ust to a relationship because of having been in a war does that to someone. Going through a such a tragic event will do that. Them falling for each other was really a coincidence; a happy one.

Yuto was loyal and loving boyfriend, not like he ever believed Yuto would hurt him in anyway. He felt somewhat jealous in a way with his and Shun's relationship but he knew they were best friends and they had known each other for so long. He couldn't help but notice how Yuto's face would look when Mieru was all over him and Reiji was trying to be all over him; maybe even Sora. He tried to get them to back off of him really. He only really loved Yuto and no one else.

With Reiji, Yuto just didn't trust him. He didn't want him touching Yuya because he felt. . .slimey to him in a way. He felt like he was trying to taint him somehow more than actually take him from him in a romantic sense.

With Sora. . .he wasn't jealous of him. If anything, the reverse was true, but he also knew that was just for attention.

Mieru, however, it wasn't so much jealousy, but that her attempts to try and claim Yuya as her own pissed him off. That was his boyfriend and she could back off. Still. Yuto wasn't quite the kind of person to tell someone off like that, but he would more subtly keep her away if he could.

But Yuto wasn't completely selfish either. If Yuya fell for someone else, then. . .as sad as it would be, he wouldn't restrict him. He'd let him go, even if it hurt him to do so. It was only Yuya who could decide who Yuya would be with after all. He was just happy that, at least for right then, Yuya wanted to be with him. Yuya snuggled closer feeling relaxed in Yuto's arms. He loved these strong arms wrapped around him and he wouldn't have it any other way. He loved the way Yuto made him feel loved, protected and cherished it made him happy down to his core.

Reiji made Yuya feel disgusted everytime he touched him; like he was trying to taint him or something.

With Mieru, he knew the girl had a crush on him but he wished she would kind of back off of him; made him feel suffocated with her always clinging to his arm and calling him 'darling' like the way she did. He wasn't her's and he wished she would learn that and the fact she was a little girl kind of let it be because it was a crush every little girl got to some older kid because she thought they were cool.

With Sora, he was a joking and playful and he didn't mind it, but like Mieru he felt suffocated in a sense. He knew he allowed it but sometimes he didn't want people touching him all the time; only certain people like Yuto could touch him anytime.

Yuto smiled happily at seeing Yuya snuggle in closer to him. He gave Yuya a little squeeze in his hold and a gentle kiss on the top of his head, " You're perfect, Yuya. . .~" He murmured to him, quite happy to have him as his own, " I don't know how I ever got so lucky."

Maybe it was some kind of reward for all the bad luck he'd had too. And he'd had. . .a real bad string of bad luck. But having Yuya now. . .~ Well, he couldn't exactly say it was worth a war because that didn't just directly involve him. . .and he couldn't say he would go through all that all over again because that had been the scariest god damn experience of his whole life, but. . .some parts of it. The parts that involved him and Yuya, those parts he would do all over again if it ended up with this result.

As far as any jealousy Yuya might have against Shun, if his best friend did have feelings for him, he'd never expressed it to him. He would be definitely surprised to hear something like that. He didn't think, even if he did, that he would ever hear about it though. Especially not when Yuto was with Yuya. In any case, he didn't even consider that to be even a possible concern. He was about as worried on that as he might have been on Yuzu suddenly falling for him. Or. . .Yugo! That kind of thing just wasn't going to happen.

" Because you are just so lovable.~" He exclaimed happily with a warm smile, " You're perfect too Yuto." He added. He was really glad he could make Yuto happy and all that's what he wanted to do and he knew Yuto was happy with him and maybe after Heartland was fixed up then he could be even more happy and maybe the past could just stay in the past and they could move onto the future. Yuya understood Yuto's duties to fix up Heartland; really that's why he wanted to help out too, because of how important it was to him, Yuto, Shun, Ruri and everyone in Heartland; even if it was just something small he wanted to help. That's why he was happy to be able to go back to Heartland with Yuto; more importantly he wanted to spend more time with Yuto before school started back up.
