And soon, secrets will be reveled and some for the better good and pure happiness and others drawing the darkness closer and closer.

Chapter 8- Pain and love

Yugi stood there, starring blankly at the door. His eyes never moved, nor did he even blink. Finally he turned and looked over out the slide door window at the setting sun…and allowed a smile to grace over his lips. Closing his eyes, Yugi walked over to his bed and threw off his top and changed into his nightshirt and then pants. Stretching his arms, he sat down on his bed and got out his laptop. Turning it on, he began to type up some stuff for school the next day, but that smile never left his face.

(Atemu)

Atemu could feel Yugi's gaze on the door as he closed it. Those violet eyes burning through it into his back. The dragon sighed and began walking down the hallway, his hands shoved in his coat pockets.

'Ah, why did I have to go and say something all poetic like that…' he muttered, turning the corner and hitting the button for the elevator a bit to hard for comfort. 'Now you did it Atemu, he's still uncomfortable…' the door opened at the sophomore walked in. 'Man why the hell,' he hit the ground floor button. 'Can't I take things slow!' he leaned up against the wall and sighed. 'Well…oh well…we go through with this or we don't…' he shrugged to himself. 'I do wonder though…Yugi's grandfather and family…will they really hate me that much if they meet me and…what if they find out about me being a dragon…oh god, Yugi's friend Hakai fell in love with a mortal…' Atemu's eyes widened. 'What will the do when they figure out I'm a dragon….' The dinging of the bottom floor knocked Atemu out of his thoughts. Sighing once again he exited the elevator and walked down the hallway.

'Well his concert is in…what two days or so? Three? I can figure something out by then I…hope.'

(Time laps to the next day)

A young man could be seen sprinting down a collage pathway, his eyes on his watch and a violin swinging around his waist, being held in his right hand. His blonde hair flew in his face and he managed to brush it aside as he streaked pass walking students and flew though the music department's doors. Almost sliding to a stop at the door to enter the stage, he flung open the doors and ran inside.

"And why are you late yet again Mr. Motou?" a voice said from the stage. Yugi bowed his head.

"I'm so sorry Mr. Haldas…" he apologized. The elderly one sighed.

"Well unpack. And Yugi," he teen looked up. "You are even a hair late on the concert, you will be kicked out of this orchestra for good, you hear?" he scolded. Yugi nodded, getting his instrument out and bow.

"Yes I understand," he answered. Mr. Haldas nodded, and motioned his hand up to the stage.

"Now we must get practicing, come on!" he bellowed. Yugi walked over briskly and jumped up on the stage. Standing up in front, he held up his instrument to his chin, and nodded to the first oboe player. The girl nodded, licking her lips and held the instrument up to her lips and blew out the note "A". Yugi listened for a moment and held his bow up to his string and played a crisp "A". All the other players followed the concerts masters cue and began tuning their instruments. The teen turned his as well and sat down in his seat, putting his folder on the stand. Mr. Haldas smiled.

"Well now that everyone is here," he gave a glance over to Yugi. "We may start. The concert order will be Vivaldi The Four Seasons, then Saint Saens Violin Concerto No.3 In B Major and last Romeo and Juliet by Tchaikovsky, everyone got that?" he looked over at Yugi. "After Vivaldi you go and get ready ok?" he told the teen. Yugi nodded, then looked down at his feet.

'I hope I don't suddenly get stage fright this concert,' he thought. Mr. Haldas laughed.

"Ah, Yugi, don't get cold feet ye' hear!" he bellowed. "We need our soloist to be all ready for his solo!" Yugi nodded slowly.

"I'm fine Mr. Haldas…I guess I might be a bit nervous is all," he looked up and smiled though. His conductor grinned back.

"Well when you're ready to play Yugi, let's go on and get a move on!" he turn and raised his baton, signaling for ever to get ready. Yugi's stand partner leaned over to Yugi.

"Why you so nervous Yugi?" she asked. The teen diverted his gaze from her.

"I um…have a really good friend who's coming to this concert…" he muttered. The girl laughed.

"Oh really now!" she patted Yugi on the back. "Well, play well then for your…friend," she emphasized the word 'friend'. Yugi sighed, and gave her a light punch on the shoulder.

"Be quiet Amber!" he bellowed with aggravation in his voice. Mr. Haldas gave them a slight glare and they both reddened in embarrassment and raised up their instruments as they readied themselves to play. The conductor made quick eye contact with the two of them, raised his baton up above his head and swooped them down. Both Yugi and his stand partner Amber had many solo duets together throughout all four movements of Vivaldi's piece. Yugi could feel his heart lift as they played the first movement of the piece. Soon, it ended and the next movement came, the movement of summer. Faster, and with more of a beat to it, an emotion of excitement entered Yugi as he played one. Every movement of Vivaldi's piece had such an emotion to them. The first one light and happy. This next one, fierce and jumpy. The third movement, autumn, that one more classical, and had a similar emotion like the spring one. And the last and final movement was winter. This was the second favorite of Yugi's. As of now, the whole orchestra had played through all three movements and they were now on the winter one. This one held a certain stillness…and edging on like feeling as well when it first starts out. And when that fateful piece ends, you think it's going to go one, but it doesn't. Yugi took in a breath as he placed his instrument down into his lap. Mr. Haldas looked over at him.

"You want to practice the Concerto now?" he asked. Yugi nodded and stood. Walking forward to the front of the stage, he glanced back at his instructor and gave him a nod.

"Ready whenever you are," he said. The elderly one nodded back and turned to shush everyone and get them to hold up their instruments. Amber gave Yugi a smile and held up her violin as well. The violet-eyed teen placed the instrument onto his shoulder and under his chin and readied to play the next piece. As they began to play, he soon forgot that he needed to perform this for an audience and just lost himself in the song.

'Hopefully…' he thought as he played. 'My concert goes as well as this is going.' As the piece came to an end, Yugi could feel himself putting more feeling into it. It was almost over, he was picturing himself, right now, at the concert already. The teen smiled. His eyes were closed and he almost played one as this song came to an end. His bow was just a hair above the string, his posture stiff and straight. His left hand was still shaking (vibrato) allowing the ending note to ring off of the hall they were in. Mr. Haldas kept his arms up for everyone to keep their instrument up until Yugi put his down. Finally, the teen let his figure slacken and he brought the violin back down next to his thigh. Emitting a grin he turned and sat back down in his original seat. Mr. Haldas clapped.

"Well done Yugi well done," he congratulated. "Lets hope our performance is just like that!" Yugi nodded up to him, and readied himself for their next piece. He held up his violin once again and began to play.

(After rehearsal)

Yugi was sitting on one of the beach benches, eating an ice cream that he had brought. His violin was safely back away in its case, resting against the bench. Yugi attempted to not

let any of the ice cream drip down over the edge of the come but was doing a terrible job. He attempted to lick it off his hand as the chocolate substance dripped down over it. He tried to keep in a pout as his treat melted away.

"Ha-ha, having trouble Yugi?" a voice said from behind. Yugi dipped his head upside-down and blinked.

"No," he answered bluntly. The other laughed and plopped down next to him.

"So you like having chocolate on you're pants?" he asked with amusement. Yugi shirked and stuck his arm all the way out so the ice cream would drip on the ground. The boy glared.

"Atemu, this is you're fault! You distracted me from my ice cream!" he said with annoyance. Atemu just laughed.

"Well you would have been off the same anyway even if I didn't come!" he said. Yugi ignored him and focused on the task of getting the ice cream off his hand and pants. Taking a napkin, he wiped it off his jeans and then tried to lick the ice cream off his hand. Suddenly, he felt Atemu move closer and take his hand from his face and licked the rest off. Yugi could have sworn his face had just mutated into a tomato or anything else extremely red. His face just flushed and a small squeak of embarrassment escaped his mouth. He saw Atemu look up, a hinder of amusement in his eyes. Sitting up, he wrapped an arm around Yugi's shoulders.

"Aw, do I make you uncomfortable Yugi?" he asked in a winy voice. Yugi glared up at him.

"You would be a bit uncomfortable if someone started licking your hand!" he bellowed. Atemu laughed and nuzzled Yugi's hair.

"…why didn't you get vanilla?" he asked. Yugi blinked in question.

"Huh? Oh I just didn't feel like it," he answered. "Why?" Atemu chuckled.

"Well your hair smells like vanilla…I would think you would get vanilla ice cream if you use that kind of shampoo." Yugi smiled.

"So I got chocolate," he began eating it again. "what's wrong with that?" he asked. Atemu didn't answer. Yugi sighed and kept on eating his ice cream.

"You had practice toda-"

"What's wrong?" Atemu sat up.

"What?" Yugi turned to look at him.

"You keep changing the subject what's wrong?" he asked again. Atemu blinked.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm fine…" he answered. Yugi stared, and then leaned over to throw his ice cream away.

"It's not nothing…tell me?" he asked. Atemu still stared.

"Yugi I said I'm fine!" The younger one whipped his head to glare at Atemu.

"If we can't be truthful to each other then we shouldn't be together like this!" he bellowed to the other. Atemu was left gaping.

"I…Yugi…" he diverted his gaze, and then drew the boy closer to himself. "I…you're right," he shook his head. "You're right Yugi, I'm sorry…It's just that…oh god it's…" he sighed. "Yugi…you're family seems to hate gays…" Yugi nodded and leaned up against Atemu's chest.

"Yes, I told you that already…Atemu what are you getting at?" he asked. Atemu sighed.

"…What about dragons…" he asked in a whisper so no one around them would hear. "What…would happen if they find out about me being a dragon…and your boyfriend…?" he asked. Yugi blinked and then sighed.

"I…I don't know Atemu…" he whispered into the other's shirt. "…How long have you been thinking about this?" Yugi asked.

"Since last night," Atemu answered. Yugi blinked as he remembered last night.

"Atemu…" he paused and then just didn't say anything at all. -I don't know…what to say…- he whispered. Atemu sighed.

"It's alright Yugi," he ran his tan fingers through Yugi's long red and black hair. "You don't need to say anything at all…" The teen smiled.

"O-Ok…just…" he then sighed. "Never mind...just…" he looked up at Atemu. "Maybe if my grandpa or anyone else doesn't see you…" he pouted in thought. "We may be able to be safe…maybe." Atemu laughed and ruffled Yugi's hair, making the other glare. "I'm trying to be serious Atemu, stop it!" he bellowed. Atemu shook his head.

"Oh, you're just so cute when you think though!" he laughed. The teen rolled his eyes.

"Oh ha-ha…" he muttered. Atemu smirked and nuzzled his face into Yugi's cheek, doing this for the only reason of making the younger blush.

"A-atemu stop!" he squeaked. The dragon just laughed and moved away.

"Fine fine hikari," he muttered, then drew Yugi closer to his body. The mage blinked questionable, then sighed and leaned into the embrace.

"…Two more days," he sighed. Atemu nodded.

"Two more days," he repeated in the same sighing motion. Yugi pulled out of the embrace so that he could just lean on Atemu's shoulder.

"God I am not ready for this concert…" he muttered. Atemu drew his fingers through the boy's hair.

"I'm sure you'll do fine, don't stress yourself," he told the boy. Yugi sighed.

"I-I know…it's just…never mind, you'll find out later," he let out a small laugh. Atemu blinked.

"Ah, another secret eh?" he taunted poking Yugi in the ribs. The mage laughed and pushed Atemu away.

"Yes, but you will not figure this one out!" he said with determination. Atemu grinned, his eyes darkening to a mischievous red.

"Oh but Yugi, I can be very persuasive…" he said in a low tone. Yugi turned his back to him.

"Nope, I will not tell!" he stuck his tongue out at the other. The dragon's smirk grew as he pounced on the other. "A-Atemu, get off!" Yugi bellowed with a laugh. The older teen shook his head and began tickling Yugi's sides. The boy let out a squeal and attempted to get away, only falling onto the, luckily, sand under the bench. He pushed Atemu off himself and ran down the beach, hoping to lose the persistent one. Atemu, of course, gave chase. To an onlooker, they may seem like cousins or brothers of some kind, enjoying a fun time on the beach. If only they knew.

Yugi screamed as Atemu launched at him and pinned him to the ground.

"Now tell me the secret hikari…" he whispered in the others ear. Yugi shivered slightly but grinned.

"Nope nope, not telling!" he giggled. Atemu narrowed his eyes in a playful manner and stopped his tickling on Yugi's sides to divert them lower and stroke the boy's skin. Yugi gasped lightly and glared at Atemu. "Using sexual touch to get me to tell…my you are dirty Atemu," he muttered to the other. Red eyes showed mirth and a hinder of malicious emotion. Leaning down he nibbled on Yugi's ear.

"If it gets you to tell, I really don't care…" he whispered into the other's ear. Yugi rolled his eyes, but they soon widened as Atemu's traveled even lower.

"Atemu…" he turned to face the other. The look of playfulness was gone, leavening a glare on his face. Atemu blinked at the stare and then pulled his hands away, getting off the other. Yugi sat up as well and brushed himself off of sand. Looking over at Atemu he let a sigh escape his lips. Atemu sat away from him, a saddened look on his face.

"I'm...sorry for that Yugi, I…went a bit to far, I'm sorry," his head was bowed in a way of apology. "I…" he stopped and just sighed. "…sorry…" Yugi smiled and crawled over to sit up against Atemu's chest.

"It's all right Atemu! It's alright!" he wrapped his arms around the other's shoulders. "I…should have told you…maybe earlier…" he allowed a blush to pass his face. "I'm just…a bit…uncomfortable…is all. Doing that in public…" he shrugged. "But I'm glad you listened, that's all that I'm happy about." Atemu looked up, and allowed a smile to pass over his lips. "It was one mistake Atemu," Yugi continued on. He tightened his grip. "everyone makes them." Atemu smiled more and wrapped his arms around Yugi's waist, as he was on his knees and Atemu sitting on the ground. Yugi waited for Atemu to say something…anything…

"You're alright…right?" he asked. The dragon laughed.

"Hai hai…" he muttered into the other's shirt. "I'm fine." Yugi laughed lightly and eased up on his grip on Atemu's shoulders.

"Ok…that's good," he drew himself away, then opened his mouth to say something, then stopped to let out a giggle. Atemu raised a dark eyebrow in question. Yugi had his eyes closed as he laughed lightly, but opened them to reveal sparkling amethysts.

"Aishetaru," he said happily. Atemu blinked…and started to laugh.

"D-don't you m-mean aishiteru?" he bellowed with laughter. Yugi pouted.

"I said that you dunce!" he bellowed back. Atemu just kept on laughing.

"Y-you said it wrong!" he said with a laugh, almost at tears. Yugi pouted more.

"Well how do you say it master of Japanese language?" he muttered. Atemu managed to cease his laughter, but a few came out.

"You, heh, you have no 'r' sound. It's like an…'r' and 'l' combined…" he said the ending of the word for Yugi. "ru, like…try," he told Yugi. The boy blinked.

"ru," he said. Atemu shook his head.

"Nope, still wrong. Well…ok, if it makes it any easier, it's spelled a-i-s-h-i-t-e-r-u." he explained. Yugi blinked.

"A-i-shi-te-r…ru?" he said, in a way of question to see if it was right. Atemu let out a chuckle.

"Heh, better," he patted Yugi's head. "How about you stick with English," he said to the boy. Yugi glared up at him.

"Or…Ana Bahebek!" he said with a laugh. Atemu blinked.

"Wait…waiiiit, I've heard that before…" he scratched his head in though. "How how how….wait, isn't that…Egyptian?" he asked. Yugi nodded.

"Means 'I love you' in Egyptian. You got silly Japanese 'Aisi-teruu' while I have 'Ana Bahebek!" he snickered. "We just can't be normal can we?" he asked. Atemu smirked.

"Don't you mean 'I can't be normal'?" he asked. "I'm perfectly the most, normal out of allll the normal Yugi!" he said with an 'all mightily' voice. Yugi rolled his eyes as he stood.

"Yeah, you could be pharaoh, a god!" he said with a laugh. Atemu stood as well.

"Well of course, don't I look like one?" he asked. Yugi rolled his eyes again and began walking out off the beach. He went back to the bench and grabbed his violin.

"No," he retorted. Atemu groaned.

"Always the non-optimistic eh Yugi?" he taunted while walking alongside him.

"I'm quite optimistic, thank-you-very-much!" he said with a pout. Atemu suddenly burst out laughing.

"Y-you pout…whaaaaay to much!" he laughed. Yugi rolled his eyes yet again and sighed. Atemu ceased his laughter a bit, but wrapped his fingers around Yugi's again, making the boy blush.

--Aww, hikari, I am just kidding-- he cooed to the other. Yugi blinked and looked up.

"Question Atemu, why do you keep calling me 'hikari?'" he asked. Atemu cocked his head in question.

"It's you're middle name isn't it?" he asked. Yugi nodded.

"Yes but…why?" he asked again. Atemu chuckled.

"Hikari means light…" he moved his hand from Yugi's and placed it around the other's waist. "I think of you as being my light…I am a shadow dragon after all," he whispered into the other's hair. Yugi looked up at him and grinned.

"Then I should be able to call you…um…what's the word for shadow again..." he thought for a second and then shouted an 'ah'. "Oh yeah, yami!" he turned to look straight at Atemu. "Well it fits, doesn't it yami?" Atemu was now the one to role the said eyes.

"You are so childish Yugi!" he laughed. The boy chuckled, but the bleeping of a cell phone soon ruined it. Atemu's laughter stopped as he let go of Yugi so he could get it out of his pocket. The ring tone was the Beethoven Symphony no. 5. Yugi growled as it kept going as he flipped it open.

"I have got to change that ring tone…" he muttered to himself as he held the phone up to his ear. "Hello, Yugi Motou speaking," he drawled out in a dull tone. Atemu stood still as he watched Yugi's bored, dazed expression turn to surprise…and then to fear.

"Oh…wait, you're what grandpa?" he almost yelled into the phone. Atemu could hear small bits of what Yugi's grandfather was saying, but couldn't catch all of it. The young mage's face paled.

"Grandpa…who is all coming…?" A pause, and the teen's color all drained for good. "What? All, all of them? Grandpa, you are not serious are you?" he paused again, for longer, and then let out a sigh. "Well…I'll see you then…bye grandpa…yes yes I am…yes…yes now. YES! BYE grandpa!" He hung up the phone with a click and sighed, running his long fingers through his blonde bangs.

"…Yugi?" Atemu started. Yugi looked up. "What did your grandpa have to say?" he asked. Yugi sighed and dropped his violin on the ground and leaned up against a tree.

"My grandpa decided to leave a day early…they're going to be here tomorrow…" he sighed once again, and buried his face into one of his hands. "God damnit, I thought we would only have to last a day or most two with him…but now four with like…what ten more fucken people! Damnit god damnit…" he muttered over and over into his hand. Atemu backed away lightly, never hearing Yugi use such language before. Taking in a breath, he walked over next to Yugi and wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulders.

"Yugi…calm down…don't worry, everything is going to work out," he whispered to the other.

"I've been thinking that since the beginning but has it all worked out?" Yugi snapped. Atemu starred, a-taken back of Yugi's behavior. "No it hasn't, it just keeps getting worse!" he glared at the ground. "Worse and worse it's getting, god…it's been so hard since…" he trailed off.

"…Since you met me…" Atemu finished. Yugi snapped his head up to stare at Atemu with wide eyes, then looked back to the ground.

"…Yes…since I met you…" he whispered. Atemu detangled himself from Yugi. He said nothing; all he did was turn around and he began to walk away.

"Maybe…" he paused. "I…want you to not have to be in pain…" Yugi could hear Atemu was have a hard time controlling his voice; it was shaking so much. The young teen didn't dare look up at Atemu. "I see…it is just not what…" he stopped again, Yugi could hear his chocking up but he did nothing. Atemu continued. "I…still…" and he began walking away more. Yugi finally looked up to see tears sliding down the other's face.

"You're the only one who….liked me as both as…a dragon and a human…" he heard the other say, but his voice was deceasing, getting farther and farther away. "I treasured that…" his voice trailed off, and Atemu's throat seized up. "A-aishiteru…" he whispered chokingly and then took off running. Yugi just stood there staring after Atemu.

'Why…' he whispered in his mind. 'Why don't you follow him…you should…this isn't right, you're supposed to be together…run after him…you should run.' Yugi still shook his head, he didn't run.

'You should go…don't just stand here…' the voice continued on. Yugi glared at the ground.

"…no…it was his choice…he left…" he muttered. That small voice came back.

'Run now…what if he gets hurt…what if he dies…what if-' Yugi shoved the voice back into his conscience, picked up his violin…and ran.

"Damn conscience…I will thank you one day though…" he whispered. As he ran Yugi soon began to realize…he had no idea where the hell Atemu even ran! Slowing down, he looked around the park. Running farther down the park to the pier, he could see someone…or something there. Running faster he skid to a halt at the entrance of the pier and then ran out onto it. For some reason…Atemu didn't turn to look what or who was running down the pier, which confused and concerned Yugi a little. He slowed down as he got nearer and nearer to the other. Suddenly he stopped, but not right behind the other. About twenty meters away, he slowly came to a stop. He halted there because…that's where he first could hear Atemu's cries. Immediately he felt guilt twist like a burning hot knife in his heart as he stared on at the other. Atemu didn't notice he was there, for Yugi was to far away for his senses to detect him. The mage could see him though. He was sobbing, crying and he could see tears cascading down the other's face. The knife burned his heart, and he could almost feel it stop as he stared on. The older one was sitting with his legs off the pier, his arms over his face as he cried into them. Yugi was about to move closer, when he suddenly felt…or heard for that matter, Atemu's thoughts. The other was most likely not trying to conceal them from being heard.

--It's over isn't it…it's all over, I ruined it all…-- Yugi could hear Atemu cry out physically. --I knew it, I knew it all along! This was too good to begin with! How could it have worked, it-it could n-never work…-- his crying increased. --S-someone so dark like me…it could never… I tainted him…I know I did…-- his crying increased. Yugi had heard enough already. He walked forward.

-Atemu…you've done nothing of the sort…- he whispered. The other whipped around so fast, his hair turned to a blur of color. Yugi stared on as he looked on upon Atemu's tear stained face and red-rimmed eyes. Yugi walked forward more and kneeled down.

-Heh, you better thank my conscience for this Atemu- he let out a laugh. -That little voice told me to follow you…thank god I listened…- reaching forward, he reached out his hand to touch Atemu's face. The other moved back though.

--N-no Yugi…I…I'm too much of a burden…you…-- he stood up suddenly. --You could never love me!-- he began to run. --No one can!-- he screamed. Yugi jumped up and caught him in an embrace, flinging his arms around Atemu's waist.

"Atemu…please stop!" he yelled. The other whipped around to glare at Yugi.

"…Why…?" he asked, his voice showing no emotion. Yugi looked blankly at the ground and let the other go.

"I…do love you…"

"You lie!" Atemu screamed. Yugi's head shot up.

"Atemu…I…I don't…I…" he felt his own tears fall. "Atemu please don't leave…I…I really…" he paused. "Please…I do…care about you I swear I do…I can show you…I…" his first tears fell. "Even if you don't…please just come to my concert please…" he suddenly felt his legs give way. "I can show you there please! Please, I'm begging you, please can you just do that! Even if you…hate me…please Atemu…" he whispered pleadingly. "I know I can show…I can show you there…please…" and the light cried. Bringing his hands up to his face, he tried wiping them away, but they didn't stop, the tears never stopped. He felt Atemu kneel down, and then embrace him. Yugi immediately flung his arms around Atemu's waist and cried into the other's shirt.

"Yugi…I could never…ever hate you," Atemu whispered. Yugi blinked and pulled away so he could look up at Atemu's face. The tearstains were still present on the elders face, but he was smiling.

"I…made you're life so much harder…" he sighed. "Why would you go through so much trouble…for me?" he asked. Yugi smiled and embraced Atemu again.

"I will…and always will because I do care for you Atemu…I…I do love…you…" he paused. "I love you…" he whispered to the other. Atemu stared.

"Y-Yugi…I…" he began to cry again. And suddenly he let out a chuckle. --Amazing…huh? That we were learning how to say 'I love you' in so many different languages…just saying it in English is the hardest?-- he said. Yugi smiled.

"Yeah…" he whispered. Atemu felt another smile come to his face.

"Yugi…" the boy pulled away and looked up. "Yugi as long as I am…" he paused. "I just want you to be happy…" he murmured. Yugi grinned.

"I'm happy when I'm with you," he whispered with a chuckle. The dragon leaned down and nuzzled Yugi's cheek.

"Then…I will…"

"Stay?" Yugi finished. Atemu blinked and then smiled.

"Yes…I will stay…"
