"Dark Magician..."
"Dark Magician!"
The words came out hazy. They echoed in his head.
"Dark Magician!"
He knew that voice.
Slowly he opened his eyes and found he was staring into sad yellow orbs.
"Dark Magician, your awake! I'm so glad!" the eyes glowed with happiness.
The spellcaster sighed in his head, but smiled a bit. If he died he would have left his friends behind. Seeing Celtic Guardian's eyes, Dark Magician regretted ever thinking that.
Celtic Guardian smiled brightly and walked toward the door. "Don't move too much or your hurt yourself, just stay there and I'll get you something to drink," with that he marched out the door.
"Hey, Dark Magician," said a happy voice. Dark Magician Girl stood in the doorway, she had a big smile on her face, clearly overjoyed by her master's recovery.
"Hello, Dark Magician Girl, you can come in you know," mumbled Dark Magician, trying not to move his mouth so much.
Dark Magician Girl walked into the room and sat on the edge of the bed. "Your looking a lot better!" "That because I'm not unconscious any more!" snapped Dark Magician. "Think before you speak," he said more softly, seeing Dark Magician Girl's hurt expression.
Dark Magician Girl then spoke, slowly. "Celtic Guardian found you. He said you where lying on the ground, covered in blood, and under your chin was slashed open. He ran with you in his arms all the way to his house and called me right away. I helped you recover a little, but Celtic Guardian did most of the work-" she paused and laughed.
"You should have seen his face, he was soooo worried about you... I knew you would pull through of course," she winked.
By the time Dark Magician Girl said that, Celtic Guardian was standing in the doorway with Dark Magician's drink. His eyes were wide and he was blushing. Dark Magician Girl giggled, while Dark Magician shot her a glare.
Celtic Guardian stiffly gave Dark Magician his drink and quickly walked out the door. The spellcaster watched him go and smiled. That was just like Celtic Guardian, he gets worried easily and embarrassed easily.
Dark Magician Girl got up and walked toward the door. She stopped and put her hand on the door frame. "I'll let you rest now." She brightly smiled one last time and closed the door.
How could I want to die when I have my two best friends here? I must be crazy! Thought Dark Magician. Then he remembered... Someday I'll get rid of him. His determination was then swallowed by fear. But how? I don't even have my staff...
Dark Magician tried not to think about it and drank his drink. Then he closed his eyes and went to sleep, the picture of Celtic Guardian's happy eyes still in his mind.

It had been four days since Celtic Guardian brought Dark Magician to his house. Dark Magician Girl left that day and asked for the elf to call if he needed anything.
Celtic Guardian watched Dark Magician closely, and was happy to see the spellcaster was getting his strength back.
The two Duel Monsters were sitting at the table eating lunch. "I just want you to stay one more day, then I think you can go home," said Celtic Guardian with a smile. Dark Magician nodded and yawned, he didn't get much sleep the night before because Dark Magician Girl had kept him awake all night, he took a bite of his sandwich.
Celtic Guardian eyed the spellcaster and tried to think how he got that slash under his chin. Dark Magician said he had been twirling his staff and hit himself by accident.
The elf didn't believe that story at all. The other day he had gone back to search for Dark Magician's staff, but couldn't find in anywhere. He shook his head slightly and ate his sandwich.
After he was done eating Dark Magician stood up and put his dish in the sink. Celtic Guardian did the same. They walked into the living room in silence and sat on the couch.
"I bet you can't wait to go home, huh?" asked Celtic Guardian, breaking the silence. "Yes..." Dark Magician replied and lowered his tired eyes. The truth is I don't want to go home, then he will be there waiting to give me four days worth of torture. I want to stay here with you, but then he'll only come looking for me. He knows I'm not dead, I know it... The spellcaster broke his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"What's troubling you?" asked Celtic Guardian softly. "It's nothing, I was just thinking... I want to repaint my room and I can't decide what color I want!" Dark Magician lied and put on a big smile. Celtic Guardian looked a little taken aback by the reply.
"Are you sure?" asked Celtic Guardian. "Positive," responded Dark Magician. "What color do you think?"
Celtic Guardian smirked. "The purple is too overdone."
"Hey!"
Dark Magician hit Celtic Guardian with one of the pillows.
"Oh, you want to do it that way then?" Celtic Guardian took a pillow in his hand and hit Dark Magician on the head. "Why you..." Dark Magician hit Celtic Guardian on the shoulder.
The two Duel Monsters continued to hit each other.
Dark Magician had enough and tackled the elf. They both fell on the floor and struggled. Celtic Guardian overpowered the weaker, tired spellcaster and got on top of him and leaned down toward Dark Magician's face, his eyes glittering. "I win-"
"Oh!"
Dark Magician and Celtic Guardian faced the door and saw Dark Magician Girl standing in the doorway. Her hand was clasped over her mouth, shocked beyond belief. The spellcaster and elf blushed deep shades of red.
"It's not what you think-"
"We were..."
"Yeah and..."
Dark Magician Girl turned to walk out. "I'll just, uhh... Leave you two alone..."
"No, Dark Magician Girl it's not what you think-"
"Yes, Dark Magician pounced on me and I got on top of him and you came in at that moment and-"
Dark Magician took a pillow that was laying on the floor and hit Celtic Guardian. "Your not helping!"
Dark Magician Girl turned back to look at the frantic Duel Monsters. "Master, I just never thought you would..." she trailed off and smirked.
"Dark Magician Girl it wasn't-"
"What did you come here for anyway?" snapped Celtic Guardian and got off of Dark Magician.
"I was just passing by and thought I would check in on the two of you, I wish I hadn't... I'm scarred for life..." Dark Magician Girl put a tragic look on her face. "Stop that," Dark Magician growled in an irritated tone.

Dark Magician Girl had gone home a few minutes after she had arrived. She said she had things to do, but Dark Magician thought she still wasn't convinced that he and Celtic Guardian weren't doing anything.
Celtic Guardian flopped on the couch and sighed "What do you want to do?" he asked Dark Magician. The spellcaster sat on the opposite end of the couch. "I don't know," he replied.
"We were having a great pillow fight and someone had to come in and spoil it," Celtic Guardian complained. The elf looked at him. Dark Magician saw a flicker in Celtic Guardian's eyes but he couldn't place what it was.
"Your apprentice can get really annoying," Celtic Guardian continued. Dark Magician nodded in agreement. "I've seen that annoyance first hand, but she does have a kind heart." The elf smiled at the spellcaster's kind words.
"I'm so tired..." Dark Magician sighed then he yawned. His head began to droop. "Dark Magician Girl why did you have to... keep me up... all... night..." Dark Magician's eyes closed as he gave into his body's need for sleep.
Celtic Guardian looked at Dark Magician with loving eyes as he slept. The spellcaster looked so peaceful and delicate... Celtic Guardian got up and got a blanket out of the closet and laid it over Dark Magician.
His eyes laid sight on Dark Magician's scars on his face, and the huge one now under his chin. I have to find out what caused all that damage. The elf thought.
He quietly sat down at the table and began to think about how Dark Magician could have so many bruises. He sat there for a few minutes, unable and unwilling to come up with the obvious conclusion...

"Hey, Dark Magician."
"Come on, get up."
Dark Magician hesitantly opened his eyes and saw Celtic Guardian siting on a foot rest, looking anxiously at him. "Good your up. You slept for a good six hours, it's dinner time already."
Dark Magician shakily sat up. Celtic Guardian snickered. "What?" asked the spellcaster groggily. "Your hair," laughed Celtic Guardian, as he stared at Dark Magician's messed up purple hair, sitting ridiculously atop his head. Dark Magician glared half heartedly, but smiled a bit. He ran his fingers roughly though his hair to straighten it.
Celtic Guardian got up and went into the kitchen. Dark Magician followed him and staggered slowly into the kitchen, still half asleep. The elf smiled and stirred what he had on the stove.
"What are we having?" groaned Dark Magician as he flopped down in a kitchen chair, and almost fell over in the process. Celtic Guardian snickered again. "You sound like a little kid," he commented. "Hn," Dark Magician replied.
"And to answer your question we are having spaghetti with my home made sauce," said the warrior and began serving Dark Magician. The spellcaster rubbed his eyes and stared at the food, his mouth gaping and his eyes drooping.
"Dark Magician, stop!" cried the Celtic Guardian. Dark Magician shook his head to clear it. "I'm ok..." he said, his words slurred.
Celtic Guardian served himself and sat down to eat. They both sat in silence. It was only interrupted when Celtic Guardian had to stop Dark Magician from diving head first into his food.
Through his haze of tiredness Dark Magician could see something in the elf's eyes. It looked like concern and... That look he couldn't place flashed in Celtic Guardian's eyes again. Dark Magician shook his head and sighed inwardly. He was too tired to figure the warrior out right now.

Just after they had finished their dinner the two Duel Monsters agreed to go to bed.
Dark Magician slowly walked up the steps with Celtic Guardian close behind him. "It's getting cold out, winter is finally setting in," the elf commented when they walked into the bedroom. "Perfect..." Dark Magician sighed and took off his shirt, revealing his slightly muscled chest, covered in scars, the black and blues were fading away.
Celtic Guardian's eyes widened at the spellcaster's unexpected movement. Celtic Guardian shook his head to stop staring.
"Sorry I only have one bed, and the couch downstairs could give you backache if you sleep on that thing for too long," the warrior smiled. "I've noticed," Dark Magician glared playfully.
"Where did you sleep before I got better?"
"On the dumb couch."
Dark Magician smiled.
"It looks like your not that tired any more."
"Not really, but I want to sleep, tomorrow I-" Dark Magician paused and swallowed, "Go home..."
Celtic Guardian took off his shirt, while Dark Magician slid under the covers. He gasped at the coolness of the sheets. Celtic Guardian walked to the other side of the bed and climbed into it. He eased under the covers, and felt his feet brush against Dark Magician's. He blushed slightly, then turned away to shut off the bedside light.
Dark Magician rolled over and closed his eyes. He felt Celtic Guardian's arm drape over his chest. He shivered slightly and slowly fell asleep, Celtic Guardian's warm body lightly touching his own.
