A new chapter! This goes to everyone useing class time for something fandom related.
Yami carries Yugi all the way home, past Solomon standing at the stairs and up to they're shared room. He sets his hicari on his bed and starts taking of the wet chose that Yugi is wearing careful not to disturb the sleeping boy. Afterwards Yami tucks Yugi in and checks his temperature moving one hand to Yugi's forehead and taking it back almost immediately.
Yami stands and walks back down the stairs and into the kitchen. Solomon stops him at the fridge all trace of the joking gamer gone and asks "what happened?"
"He was sitting at the bus stop in the rain" Yami replies blankly.
"Do you know why?"
"No"
"You're sure?"
"Yes"
Solomon moves out of the way and Yami mechanically to the freezer opens it and takes out a tray of ice and sets it on the counter. He looks thru the cabinets for a bowl even thou they always occupy the same space in the cabinet second from the left on the wall. Solomon gets one out saying "here" as he hands it to Yami.
Yami looks at it in a confused haze then nods and pours ice into the bowl some of the cubes missing the rim and falling to the floor. He fills the bowl up with cold water after setting the tray back on the counter. Yami rummages thru the doors looking for one of the cloth hand towels and, finding nothing, he slams the door closed making Solomon jump.
"Are you all right?" Solomon says concerned.
"Yes" Yami grinds out thru clenched teeth.
"No, you're not"
"Yes"
"No"
"Even if I'm not, Yugi takes priority" Yami says in a brittle voice and, grabbing the bowl, he storms out of the kitchen to the bath room, yanks a towel off the rack and sprints up the stairs, rushing into there room, and closes the door quietly so as to not wake Yugi.
Yami pulls a chair to the edge of the bed Yugi sleeps in and sets down the bowl of ice water on the side table and dips the towel into it, letting the water soak in. he twists the water out of the cloth and lays it on Yugi's forehead.
Yami sits in the chair with a bowed head and drifts to a restless sleep.
In front of him Yugi becomes restless. He wrestles the blankets on top of him. Fighting the fever dreams he nocks the towel from his forehead and his heavy breathing wakes Yami, who strokes Yugi's hair. Yugi settles and Yami straitens Yugi's limbs again and sets the cloth back on Yugi's forehead, and runs one hand over his cheek and across Yugi's lips.
After afue more minutes of tittering over his abou, Yami almost lest himself cry.
