Yami woke up in the morning wondering where he was at first. Rain pattered on the window and made him feel even more groggy with it's rhythm. When he was fully awake, his mind finally registered everything that had happened. Still tired, Yami reached out his arm and felt the other side of the bed. Empty.

His eyes shot open and he jumped out of bed. He quickly retrieved his boxers from the top of the lamp (How the Hell did that get there? he wondered), and the rest of his clothes from accross the bedroom floor. He stumbled around the room, trying to put his clothes on as fast as he could. He ran out to the hallway.

"Yugi?" he called. There was no answer.

"Yugi!" This time, he yelled. He ran frantically to the kitchen. The smell of coffee was still in the air. Yami spun around and went to the living room. He sighed with relief when he saw Yugi sitting in the chair in the corner. He was wearing a light green robe and held a mug in his hand. He stared at the floor with empty eyes.

Yami slowly approached him. He placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder gently. Yugi looked up at him, his eyes heavy.

"Yugi, what's wrong?" Yami asked. "Was I- I mean... About last night-"

"Last night."

Yami nodded. "Are you okay? Did you like it?" he stammered. Mentally, he hit himself. What kind of question was that supposed to be?

"Yugi, I wasn't lying when I said I love you," Yami said.

Yugi shook his head. "Neither was I..."

Yami smiled. He opened his mouth to speak, but Yugi cut him off.

"At least I thought I wasn't."

"What do you mean?" Yami asked.

Yugi stood up to meet Yami's eyes. "Last night was great, you're not bad, I'll give you that."

Yami contained his smirk to the contents of his mind.

"But I don't know you. I don't know what you've done. I don't know where you've been. You don't know those things about me!"

"Sure I do!" Yami insisted. "You grew up here and ran off to New York with some asshole." He felt his voice rise against his own will to not hurt Yugi, but he couldn't stop it.

"No, Yami. That's not my whole story! We don't even know each other and when we talk for five seconds, you think we know each other enough to have sex?"

"Hey, you took me to the bedroom!" Yami snapped. "Remember? You can't pin this all on me!"

"I know! But you could have stopped me!"

"You could have stopped yourself!" Yami yelled back. "Whatever happened to that tender man I made love to last night? Huh? You were willing! You screamed my name and pledged your love for me."

"Yeah, well, sex does things to people!"

"Oh, and you know from experience?" Yami asked.

"My ex boyfriend raped me!" Yugi screamed.

"Yeah? See what happends? You thought you knew him. You got to spend time with him and you got to know everything about him. And he betrays you. I learn one or two things about you and I swear I'll never do that to you!"

"Oh yeah?" Yugi said, crossing his arms over his chest. "What's gonna stop you from going onto your next destination? I know people like you. You're a drifter. The road is your home!" Yugi swung his arm out in the direction of the front window.

"So go home!" Yugi yelled. "You know you want to! I'm just the next person involved in one of your one night stands!"

"I'm standing right here Yugi! I'm not going anywhere!"

"But you will!"

"If you don't know enough about me, who are you to make these accusations?" Yami asked.

"You don't know me either Yami!" Yugi protested. "You drew up your picture of me when you first saw me! You saw an inocent boy who would be really easy to lay!"

"Well, guess what? You were! You took me to your bed on your own!"

"I wasn't thinking!" Yugi said. "I'm only human."

"So am I. And I have human emotions. Like my complete love for you Yugi!"

"You don't love me. You just love the sex!"

"What's the problem with last night?" Yami asked.

"I should have waited. I ran off with Seto mere days after meeting him. See the outcome? I don't know anything about you. Sex is giving myself to you and yourself to me. How can I give myself to someone I don't even know?"

"You forgave me. At the wilderness. Remember?" Yami asked, his voice growing soft.

"Yes, forgave you. It's not like I married you Yami." Yugi said. "Just telling me one little thing about your life doesn't mean I know who you are as a person. Like, what are your dreams? What's your favorite food? What do you want to do before you die? Those are the kind of things I want to know before devoting myself to someone."

"Well, you did when we made love last night. So I'm an open book now," Yami insisted.

Yugi's eyes filled with tears and he shook his head. "I can't Yami. My trust is gone now." He motioned toward the door.

"You're going to leave one of these days. Make it today."

Yami shook his head. "I love you Yugi!"

Yugi shook his head. "It's not love you feel Yami. Sex involves love. Love involves knowing the person. You can't love without knowing them. Just because I had sex with you doesn't mean we're in love. Love at first sight doesn't exist."

"I think it does," Yami said. "And I love you Yugi."

"I don't care. That's your problem. Just get out."

Yami looked out the window. "It's raining."

Yugi shrugged. "You won't get dehydrated then."

The two men stood staring at each other for a while before Yami finally walked out the door. After watching his love walk out the door, Yugi collapsed in the chair and cried.

The next day...

Yami went through the motions at work yet again, feeling like a robot. He hadn't even made an attempt to see Yugi again. Even though the walk to the photography shop was short, Yami hadn't made the effort. He had taken midnight rides on his bike through Yugi's neighborhood, but he never stopped in front of his house.

It had begun to rain again that evening. Yami left his shift and began walking to a hotel. To his complete and total surprise, Yugi stood under the canope of a pizza shop, smoking.

"Yugi!"

Yugi's head snapped in the direction of Yami's voice. He glared as Yami approached him. He tossed his cigarrette into the gutter and began walking ahead of Yami, taking larger and faster steps.

"Yugi please! Let's just have a rational talk here!"

"Go away!" Yugi yelled back.

"I haven't left Yugi! I'm not going to!"

Without a word, Yugi turned into a dark alleyway.
