Me: "My gosh I'm sorry for all the delays! But school has been unbearable along with play practice!"
Jay: "Yes, I should know since you dragged me everywhere with you!"
Me: "Ha! Why should I suffer alone?"
Jay: "Meanie."
Free: "Huh, this fight wasn't as long as I thought it would turn out. Anyways, enjoy this chapter!"
Yami walked closer to the boy laying on the couch, fast asleep. He couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face as he caught sight of the boy's beautiful face. Somehow it was saved from all the bruises. Yami hissed in pain as he felt his own bruises colliding with each other, making it almost unbearable to do anything. He ignored them for now and lightly ran his fingers over the boys soft cheek and suddenly felt flustered by the feeling. Yes, there was no mistaking the slight heat and electricity that coursed through his body when he made contact with Yugi yesterday and now again.
"Hey, hands off him!" Yugi's older brother, Atemu glared at Yami who snickered, but took his hand away.
The loudness of Atemu's voice woke Yugi up. He stared up at Yami, thinking it was his brother, then noticed the eye color difference and became shocked.
"Uh…" was the only thing that managed to come out of his mouth.
"Hi Yugi." Yami smiled sweetly, making Yugi blush. "I just thought I'd stop by to see how you were doing."
Yugi glanced at him and then at his brother and Ryou on the other side of the room.
"Oh, I'm ok…" he winced as he moved his leg, sending a bolt of pain throughout his small frame. The move resulted in him moaning very loudly.
"Shit…" Yami mumbled as he felt himself get turned on by Yugi's moan.
"What?" Yugi asked.
"Nothing…" Yami's smile returned. "Anyways I just came by to see how you were. I still feel guilty about yesterday."
Yugi frowned. "I thought we agreed that it was both our faults?"
Yami nodded. "We did, but I can't help it. I'm just like that." he shrugged as he watched Yugi slowly get into a sitting position, his face contorted in pain the whole time.
"For Ra's sake!" Atemu howled with his arms crossed over his chest.
He was ready for Yami to leave.
"Stop it Atey!" Yugi used the nickname to make a point.
Atemu blushed deeply and stumbled into the kitchen. Ryou stayed behind and eventually made his way over to his friend.
"Will you be back tomorrow?" he asked.
Yugi thought for a second. "Yeah. I will."
"That a boy! Tough as nails!" Ryou laughed.
"If I was that than I would have gone to school today. Yami's better than me." Yugi smiled up at Yami who returned the gesture.
"Actually my dad kind of kicked me out. Said I had to go anyways." Yami shrugged.
"That's not very nice…" Yugi pouted.
Yami laughed at Yugi's cuteness and lightly ruffled his hair. "I guess it's not."
"But we can suffer together!" Yugi cheered like it was a good thing.
"That we can." Yami agreed. His head was already full of images of him and Yugi at school, spending time together.
They talked a while longer until Atemu came in and said that Yugi needed to rest if he would be attending school tomorrow. Yami and Ryou reluctantly left a few minutes later. Yugi was sad that they left, but new Atemu was right about the rest. He ate dinner, did his homework, and was carried up to bed by Atemu. Within seconds he was out like a light, dreaming about you know who.
Yugi slowly got out of bed the next morning. His bruises didn't hurt as much and with a few ibuprofens he would feel even better. He quickly took a shower and got dressed before hurrying downstairs to find his brother just now waking up.
"Yugi?" Atemu yawned and rubbed his eyes. "Your already awake?"
"Yeah, why?" Yugi asked.
"Well." Atemu looked at the watch around his wrist. "I don't usually wake you up for another thirty minutes."
Now that Yugi thought about it, he just got ready without even thinking about the time. He must have been really excited to see his friends and *cough* Yami.
"Does that mean you want me to go back to bed and have to drag me out of it?" Yugi asked with a smile on his face.
Atemu chuckled. "No, why don't you go get some breakfast while I get a shower."
They both nodded and headed separate ways. Yugi ended up making a large pile of bacon, four eggs, two pieces of toast, and two glasses of milk. He split everything up evenly and placed the other plate across from him. He had already eaten most of his breakfast by the time Atemu came into the kitchen.
"This for me?" he asked his little brother who rolled his eyes.
"No, it's for the queen of England." Yugi snorted.
"England has a queen?" Atemu teased.
"Apparently." they laughed until they heard the door downstairs open.
Both Ryou and Malik had keys to the shop in case of an emergency. The brothers heard their feet marching up the stairs.
"Yuuugiiii!" Malik cried as the two friends entered the kitchen.
"Hey Mal-" he was cut off by Malik tackling him, holding him in a tight squeeze. "Ow, ow, ow!" Yugi hissed as the Egyptian made his skin throb.
"Whoops." Malik let go, guilt flooding his face. "Sorry, I was just excited to see you."
"It's ok Malik." Yugi assured, but Malik still didn't look convinced. "Really, it doesn't hurt that much."
Malik nodded happily at this and began eating off of Atemu's plate.
"Hey! Find your own grub!" Atemu snarled as he pushed Malik away.
"But that involves work." Malik pouted as his hand snuck closer to the last piece of bacon on the plate.
Atemu rolled his eyes as Yugi went to get his backpack with Ryou following after him. They stopped in the hallway next to the stairs that lead to the game shop when they heard yelling. The next thing they see is Malik running their way with a piece of bacon hanging out of his mouth. In a single second he threw Yugi over his shoulder fireman style and dashed down the stairs with Ryou following after them.
"Ishtar! You little shit!" Atemu yelled just as the trio ran out the doors of the game shop.
They didn't stop running until they were a few blocks away. Malik then put Yugi down.
"Ra Malik, when did you become such a life risker?" Ryou panted with his hands on his knee's.
Ryou never did anything to get on Atemu's bad side. And he was quite glad of it.
Malik shrugged. "You call it life risking, I call it pissing off a big-"
"Hey, this is my brother your talking about." Yugi cut in.
"Sorry." his friends mumbled as they headed inside the school building.
They all went to their lockers which happened to be right next to each other. Yugi opened his up and was extremely surprised to see a cute looking stuffed teddy bear that was holding a heart shaped lollipop with white writing written on it saying I beary sawwy. Next to it was a folded up note that read:
Yugi,
I know we said it's no one in particulars fault about our little fall, but I won't stop feeling guilty until you are completely, 100% better.
Let's meet up later sometime, ok?
-Yami
"Say… what's that?" Malik grabbed the note out of Yugi's hands and began reading it, much to Yugi's protest and cries. "Someone's in love with you." Malik poked Yugi's chest once he finished the letter and handed it off to Ryou who blushed.
"I think it's sweet Yugi." Ryou smiled and handed the letter back to his friend.
"So? He's just being overly nice and concerned is all." Yugi shrugged although he felt a blush rising to his cheeks.
He couldn't disagree that Yami was very handsome. He was somewhat different compared to Atemu despite the eye color. Yami was just… Yami.
"Sure." Malik blew a piece of hair out of his eyes. "I wonder if he's one of those nicey nice guys who draws someone in and then attacks them later. He looks like Atemu so I don't see why not."
"Malik!" Ryou slapped his friend on the back of the head. "I'm sure Yami's not like that. Who knows, maybe it was love at first sight for him." he giggled to himself.
"You guys!" Yugi shook his head in embarrassment. "Just don't mention any of this around him, ok?"
His friends nodded and soon they were heading off to their classes. Malik and Yugi walked together since Malik's class was on the route to Yugi's.
"So what about this Marik guy? You like him?" Yugi asked.
He remembered Malik telling him that Marik had asked him out. He never got Malik's reply to the question, so he figured now was as good as any time to ask him.
"Well we had lunch yesterday. I'll admit he's a bit psycho, but good all in all."
"And… you like him?" Yugi prodded.
Malik seemed thoughtful for a second before replying. "Yeah, I guess I do."
"Weird what only one day can do to you." Yugi smiled.
Malik stopped abruptly and also put his hand on Yugi's shoulder, making him flinch. He looked at his friend who had a cautious yet confused expression on his face.
"I basically just told you I'm gay. Your ok with it?"
"Of course. I don't care what you are, your still my friend." Yugi smiled and squeezed his friends hand who squeezed back in return.
"Thanks." Malik suddenly blushed. "Can I tell you something? Something you cannot tell anyone, not even Ryou."
Yugi nodded, wondering what was so secretive that he couldn't even tell their other friend.
"Er, well, I used to… have a crush on…" Malik looked around. "Atemu…"
Yugi just stared at him for a minute, then he burst out into laughter.
"What?" Malik demanded. "What's so funny?"
Yugi laughed a bit longer before calming down and clearing his throat.
"It's just that, you two fight all the time, I never knew you had feelings for him at one point. I seriously, never could have guessed."
"Yeah, yeah. And you cannot tell Atemu! He'll never let me live it down… You won't tell him will you Yugi?" Malik begged.
"No, I won't tell another living soul. Promise."
"Thanks Yugi! Whoo, it feels good to get that off my chest."
The two then departed since they had reached Malik's classroom. The violet eyed boy waved before disappearing behind the door. Yugi now had to bolt up the stairs and race down the halls to get to algebra. Lucky for him, he remembered the way and got there in time. He was given a seat next to a boy with blond hair and honey colored eyes. He also had a Brooklyn accent that Yugi found very entertaining to listen to.
"Hiya Yug. The names Joey Wheeler and I think were gonna be pretty good friends." Joey smiled and held out his hand.
Yugi smiled back and grasped Joey's hand. "I hope so."
"Y'know you look almost exactly like my best friend, Yami. You ever seen him?"
"Yeah, actually. We ran into each other the other day and fell down the stairs."
Joey laughed. "Oh, so you were that guy!" Joey's smile got even bigger. "Man Yami has talked nonstop about you pal. I think he really likes you." he winked.
Yugi blushed. "R-really?"
"Yeah. He never told me what your name was or anything so I wouldn't have known it was you." he paused for a second. "I assume you got his gifts this morning then?"
"Um… yeah. Is he always that thoughtful?"
Joey cocked his head to the side. "Yeah, it's just his way of getting guilt off his back."
"Oh, good." Yugi sighed and slid lower into his seat. "My friend thought he was trying to lure me in and then hurt me or something."
Joey laughed. "Nah, Yami's not that heartless. He's great."
And Yugi believed him.
Me: "Well I have been watching YugixYami videos on Youtube all day."
Jay: "Yes, and now your listening to the one called Kiss Me."
Me: "Hey, shut up!"
Jay: "Ohhh touchy!"

Jay: "Ugh, at least finish two of them!"
Me: "No worries, I aint gonna rush it."
