Chapter Three

Yugi just stood there. He couldn't believe it. The boy he had been dating for almost a year had been revealed as his past love, Yami. To say he was shocked was an understatement. He was lost for words. Suddenly he found himself on top of Yami half laughing half crying because he was so happy. "I can't believe it. I thought that it was you when I seen how much you had in common with him but I never thought to ask. I'm so sorry I didn't say anything to you or ask you."

"No Yugi it's not your fault." Yami said as he watched his sister leave with Tea. "I should have told you how I felt from the start. Then maybe I wouldn't have left."

"What do you mean, Yami?"

"Yugi I've always loved you. Since that day you ran into me on your way to soccer practice, but I never realized it till about a year after I met you and your friends. But even though I knew what my feelings were I couldn't tell you cause I was scared you didn't feel the same way."

"I did, but I couldn't tell you because of what you just said." Yugi admitted

"I guess we were both just being stupid."

"Yeah. Hey, you want to go find your sister and Tea and let them know?"

" I got a feeling that they had a huge part in this."

"I guess."

Yami and Yugi walked only a little ways before they had found Alina and Tea talking to Joey and Seto, along with Marik, Bakura and Ryou and Malik. As Yami and Yugi walked up to them they were laughing at a joke that Malik had told when Yami took a seat beside Joey and Yugi beside Yami. "Can we hear?." Yugi heard his tall love ask.

"It's nothing really. I was just saying that I thought that mine and Marik's parents were strict but when we went to meet Ryou and Bakura's we were in for a shock."

"Oh so that's why you two were sour when me and … Yami walked up."

"Wait what did you call Atem, Yug?" asked Joey

"You heard him right Joey." said Yami "Its kind of a long story. One perfect for the plane ride home."

"Okay." said Joey and Yugi could tell that his blonde friend wasn't going to forget. "So what's going on up at the game shop Yugi? When we spilt up we didn't get the chance to head up there."

"Oh nothing really. Mom and Dad were just thrilled at meeting Yami or as they know him Atem." said Yugi smiling lightly as he recalled the tense scene between him, Yami and the moments leading up to introducing Yami to Yugi's parents.

"Okay. Okay." said Yami chuckling slightly as well. "So what about your family Joey. Didn't your mom remarry?"

"Yeah and Her new husband was totally cool with me and Seto. Although Mom was completely surprised about Duke and Serenity's engagement."

"Speaking of, where are they?" asked Yugi

"They're with Mom and Seth. Mom wanted to get to know Duke and Seth wanted to get to know sis."

"He tried to get Joey and me to stay but I said I had to go check up on Mokuba and Joey wanted to meet up with you guys." said Seto

"Well that's good. At least Seth is cool with you two." said Tea

"Speaking of which. Where did you two run off two when Yugi tackled me earlier?" asked Yami

"Oh I had to introduce my mom to Alina didn't I?" asked Tea slyly

"Tea you are a VERY bad liar." said Yugi laughing.

"Oh shut up Yugi." said Tea laughing as well.

"So how's things going up around your place Seto?" asked Yugi as they walked back to the Game Shop.

"Nothing big really. Mokuba was in a meeting when I got there so I told them to tell him to your game shop when he got done." said Seto and just as he said that he heard his name being called out "Seto!"

"Hey there little brother." said Seto calmly as his brother cried in Seto's arms

"Hey Joey." said Mokuba after the tears had subsided.

"Hey there kid." said Joey

As Seto and Mokuba caught up on what's been going in their lives since they had spilt up. Mokuba had stayed in Japan to run his brother's company while his brother went to collage. And Seto went to collage with Joey and the other when they graduated from high school, Yugi and the other went into the Game Shop.

"Hey Yugi." said Solomon

"Hey Gramps. You remember Yami don't you?"

"Of course. Welcome back son."

"Thanks."

"Well Yug, Yami as much as we'd like to stay here Ryou and I have some unfinished business elsewhere." said Malik with a sly look in his eye that led Yugi to believe that there was more to his platinum-haired friend's statement then there seemed.

"Okay." said Yugi

"Yeah same here." said Marik with a smirk.

"Okay later guys." said Yugi while Yami was howling with laughter at Joey

"Hey knock it off Yami. Just because you remember your name doesn't mena you can treat me like shit!" said their blonde friend." said Joey and Seto came to see what was making his boyfriend so agitated but almost as soon as he saw him he started howling with laughter like Yami and Yugi who had just turn to see what his love and best friend were arguing about. "Gee thanks Seto, Yug, you're supposed on my side."

"Sorry love but not this time." said Seto as he looked at his love covered with flour and baking powder. "You should have known not to go in to the kitchen."

"Yeah you know what my Mom's like when it comes to you and flour." said Yugi still laughing.

"Yeah, yeah." said Joey annoyed.

"Come on and take a shower. Then you and Seto can go have some of the fun you missed out on during the exams." said Yugi

"I like that idea." Seto called from downstairs.

Once Joey had his shower and they had left, Tea and Alina said that they would head over to Tea's place and left Yugi and Yami alone for the first time since Yami truly remembered who he really was. And because of that he was worried. His old fears of Yugi rejecting him had slowly been coming back and while Yugi was taking a shower he couldn't hold the tears back anymore.

Yugi had to admit that it was strange to find out that the one boy he had always loved was his boyfriend after all this time. But that didn't stop Yami from being afraid as Yugi could tell. But he thought that he would help Yami realize that He was his and his alone. Yugi was going to MAKE Yami see that Yugi loved him and him alone. So when he walked into his room after his shower and saw Yami crying he wasn't shocked.

"Yami? Love?"

"Yugi I know you told me that you felt the same as I did almost four years ago and when you moved into my dorm room with me we proved that we liked each other but do you still want me even now-"

"Yami stop. I will always love you no matter what happens. And it's time you seen that. As you said I had the same feelings as you did four years ago and I still do have the same, if not, more of the feelings as four years ago."

"You mean that Yugi?"

"Yes Yami, I do."

"I love you, Yugi"

"I love you too, Yami"

"Hey Malik are you happy that Yugi and Yami are finally on the right track?" asked Ryou as he laid on his loves chest.

"I am. Now we don't have to worry about Yugi being a stuck up ass hole."

Ryou chuckled "Aw come on he wasn't that bad. Not like Yami."

"That's true love." said Malik

"Anyway, what's your course schedule like next semester?" asked Ryou

"Nothing unlike my last one except I got last block with you Ryou."

"Yay."

"Hey Marik?"

"Yeah?"

"You think we made the right decision?" asked Bakura

"About what love?"

"About letting our younger brothers talking us into coming and meeting our parents?"

"Yeah I do." said Marik "I mean when it comes to Malik I always have a weak spot. Like Joey does with Yugi and Serenity. So I can't really turn Malik down. That's why when he asked me if I would be okay with bringing Ryou here for the spring break was okay."

"Oh. Wow I never knew that."

"Yeah."

"Hey Alina?"

"Yeah?" asked Alina and Tea could hear her love's voice ringing with joy. And she couldn't blame her. Both Yugi and Yami were happy now and that was all that mattered at the time but now it was time Tea and Alina had a little fun of their own. "You ready?"

"Oh yes. How could I have forgotten? Does my favorite Brunette think she's getting upstaged by my little brother?"

"Oh Alina your going to get it now!"

"Hey Joey?"

"Yeah Seto?" Joey answered still a little stiff from his love laughing at him earlier.

"Hey look I'm sorry but you have to admit it was funny." said Seto knowing what was his love's problem. "How about we make up for lost time? We hardly saw each other during the exams."

"That's true. Come here love." said Joey giving in at last. He just couldn't stay mad at the brunette that was his love.

All too soon it was time to go back to the collage but Yugi and Yami had a surprise for their friends when they got on the plane home, Yugi showed them. Yami had asked Yugi to marry him. Just as Seto did with Joey. Of course Yugi knew that was going to happen. Joey and Seto had been dating a lot longer than Yugi and Yami but that was something Yugi was going to make amends about.

As promised Yami told his friends how he lost his memory and how he had gotten it back when Alina and Tea took him to the very same spot that he had met Yugi for the first time. And as Yami promised it was a long story. One that took the whole plane ride just as he said it would. But they would at least now understand as to why he didn't know who they were.

Yugi watched as Yami told his story. He was thinking about the last night that they were there. Yami had disappeared for an entire afternoon and when Yugi saw that his love was gone again he wondered if the last year was a dream. But just as he got dressed to go look for him Yami walked through the door.

~flashback~

YAMI'S POV

As I laid there watching Yugi sleep I had decided that it was time. I had made the mistake of not tell Yugi how I had felt about him before I left never dreaming that it would hurt Yugi by my leaving just as much as it had hurt me. And that was something I was going to fix. Or at least try. I slipped out of the bed very carefully so I wouldn't wake my love and then I went out taking my cell phone that Yugi's mother gave me as a welcome-present, and called Seto and I could tell by his groggy answer on the phone that I had woke him but I told him that I needed to talk to him and not to let Joey know what was going on.

'Okay but what do you need help with?'

"Can you come over to the café where we all met? I don't want Yugi on to me."

"Okay. I'll be there in about five minuets.'

"Okay thanks." I said and I hung up and started walking to the café

"So what's up Yami?"

"I want to as Yugi to Marry me but…"

"You don't thin it's been enough time?"

"Yeah."

"Well I'm going to do the same lets do it together, kay?"

"Yeah."

~flashback ends~

Yugi was thinking about his reaction to Yami when he found out what his boy- well fiancé- was up to when he had heard him ask Yugi if he was okay.

"Yeah I was just thinking."

"You always are thinking."

"You know it." said Yugi and him and Yami developed into a fit of laughter that when died down ended with Yugi lying back on Yami about to take a long nap.

"Good night, my love" Yami whispered in his love's ear. And he looked around and saw that only five of his friends were awake but slowly that was changing as one by one his friends feel asleep. Yami knew that by the morning came they would be back in Domino City and that their school lives would start almost the next day, so he thought that he would get some sleep as well.
