Hello again. Look! More Gareki/Yogi moments! BLah,blah,blah-to the story!


At first, Yogi sat there simply dumbfounded, simply staring at Gareki. Then he smiled brightly. "Thank you." He said honestly.

Gareki looked up at him, ready to ask why he was thanking someone who told him to shut up. Then he saw him.

Yogi was smiling. But it wasn't his usual grin. IT was a small smile. Just a turn of his lips. But it was real, it was honest, it was true.

Gareki's breath caught in his throat for a moment and he looked away. There was a soft blush on his cheeks. "Be quite." He muttered.

They sat in silence for a while. Yogi unsure of what to say, or if he should say anything at all. Gareki was thinking back to what both Eve and Liam said to him.

'You tensed as soon as Yogi mentioned him, You glared as soon as you saw Yogi smiling at him...'

'You like him'

'You hurt him'

"Gareki?"

Gareki looked up and iver at Yogi.

"Are you alright?" The older asked.

Gareki nodded.

Yogi looked down and started messing with the blankets. He was nervous. Gareki sighed. He looked at Yogi and asked, "Whats it like in Circus?"

Yogi looked up and grinned. "Fun...But hard work."

"Fun?" Gareki asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Not fun! Wait. I mean fighting varuaga and stuff like that isn't fun. I dont like to fight!" Yogi said waving his hands in front of him. His violet eyes wide.

A corner of Gareki's mouth twitched. "Then what did you mean?" He asked a bit teasingly.

"I meant that i like performing at the Circus performances." Yogi explained. "I like seeing all those people and kids smiling. I don't feel like i'm doing anything wrong."

Gareki stared at Yogi a bit. Yogi was to kind. He seemed unreal. At first, when Gareki met him, he thought Yogi was faking it. No one could be that kind he had thought. Yet there Yogi was. He wouldn't have lasted long where i grew up. Gareki thought, then immediately took it back. Yogi was strong. He could fight even if he didn't like too. He was in Circus.

"How are you in circus if you don't like to fight?"

Yogi stopped his rambling and looked at Gareki. He smiled sheepishly. "Uh. That's Hirato's doing."

Gareki faced him fully on the bed now."

"I went to circus to help take care of my little sister. It was just the two of us and i wanted to be able to take care of her. I was the oldest. There i met Hirato. I cant remember what happened exactly. In fact, parts are a bit of a blank to me, but Hirato was convinced that i was strong and could fight. he convinced them to let me join under him.

"I on the other hand, wasn't sure. I didn't and still don't like to fight."

"Then why?"

"Hirato says i saved him during our first 'mission'."

"You did?"

Yogi shrugged. "I don't remember much, so i guess i only have what Hirato tells me.

"We had gone on a simple mission. Checking information. Not really anything, ya know? But a huge Varuga came, i remeber someone laughing. A man. Then nothing. IT goes hazy. I remember a small room. Then feeling like all the muscles in my body where going to explode. Then dadging an attack, pushing Hirato out the way. Then waking up in the infirmary"

Gareki frowned. That really didnt sound like much.

"When i was let out the med room, Hirato told me i had saved his life. Said i had fought the varuga practically by myself. But i don't remember."

As Yogi was talking, his eyes began to drop. Yogi blinked sleepily, trying and failing to stifle a yawn.

Gareki felt himself smirk. "Its late. Go to sleep Yogi."

Yogi shook his head. " M'wake" He mumbled, fighting to keep his eyes open.

Gareki rolled his eyes. "Barely. Go to sleep." He paused, then added. "I wont leave."

Yogi looked at Gareki. His eyes sleepy, with a hint of fear and hope in them. "Promise?" He asked.

Gareki nodded. "I promise. Now go to sleep." Yogi nodded, he laid down.

Gareki watched as Yogi's eyes fluttered close and his breathing evened out. The young man curled up slightly. He was asleep. Gareki looked out the window. It was dark outside. What time was it?

"Its late. You should get some sleep."

Gareki jumped slightly, his eyes widened. He turned and saw Liam leaning in the doorway. Liam's mis-matched eyes where trained on the window. Not really seeing it. Not really seeing anything really.

"What are you doing here?" Gareki demanded.

"Hush. OR you'll wake Yogi up." Liam said quietly. He walked into the room. Closing the door softly. He sat on the bed opposite of Yogi's with a sigh.

"How was your talk with Hirato?" Gareki found himself asking.

"A complete waste of time!" Liam snapped, a slight accent creeping in his voice. "He tol' me nuthing." Liam stopped and pushed hit hat back on his head, moving his slightly long hair out the way of his face. Gareki faintly realized he had never seen Liam without the hat.

Liam's eyes looked up and stopped on Yogi. He swallowed thickly. "If i'm right, then it wont mater if i take Yogi out of Circus or not. His mind'll collapse under the pressure."

Gareki frowned. "What do you mean?"

Liam looked at him and Garkei's breath caught in his throat with a slight gasp. Liam looked so...lost. A complete opposite of his usual Facetious, sarcastic, knowing attitude. His eyes wide and wet with unshed tears.

"I can't tell you. I wish i could but i can't." The can'ts sounded like cahn't.

"Why not?"

"He dosn' know! They ne'er tol' him! Fuckin' bastards!" Liam;s voice rose. "They dohn' know wha' it's like. Dohnt know what its like."

"Don know what whats like?" Gareki asked softly.

"They dohn' know what we go threw to make sure we stay in charge. To make sure they dohnt take over." AS he said this Liam was starring at Yogi. "To have afamily and lose it all. To be so damaged and hurt that you question everything. People, friends yourself...you sanity." Liam took a breath. " Having to go on even with that other self. The other self you wish you'd never meet or created, on purpose or not."

Other self.

Gareki frowned and starred at Liam. "What are you-?"

Liam stood.

"Get some sleep Gareki. We're all going out tomorrow." The accent was gone, and so was Liam.

Gareki sat in silence for a while. He looked at Yogi. Still asleep, still oblivious.

Other self.

Yogi's golden blond hair fell into his eyes. Gareki's hand reached out without his permission, and brushed it away. Yogi mumbled something incorrigible and leaned slightly into the touch. Gareki smiled without realizing he was.

"Good night." He murmured softly.

Gareki turned off the lights. He pulled Yogi's blankets over him. Then laid on the opposite bed of Yogi's. He fell asleep soon after.
