Please be patient with me T.T Heads up, this chapter is a little rewind in time, it's Sunday night from Yami's POV You remember that call to Yugi in the middle of the night I mentioned last chapter? Well you are about to read it!

Liz: This chapter looks like a filler to me…

Jess: Shush you! I promise to update sooner with a better, less-filler-like chapter! For now, I hope you enjoy this chapter. But first, Yami?

Yami: *rolls eyes* Jess doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh

Jess: Let's get started!


Yami rolled on his bed, looking for a more comfortable position to sleep. That didn't work… nor did the other one hundred times he rolled.

'Ra dammit!' He closed his eyes as hard as he could, thinking that maybe he would miraculously fall asleep. Of course, that did not happen. 'Come on!' He flipped his pillow over and lay down again, but not even the refreshing coolness of the other side of the pillow helped him to sleep. 'This is ridiculous!' He sighted in frustration and sat up. 'Why me? Why now? Why at… two in the morning?!'

That was the second night in a row that Yami was unable to sleep. Why? You may ask. It all started after he left Yugi in the game shop and returned to his mansion the night before.

Flashback

Yami opened the door of the mansion and walked inside. 'What a day…'

"Where have you been?"

Yami looked up to find Seto with his usual scowl and his arms crossed. "Hello to you too cousin…"

Seto rolled his eyes. "You were not here for our rehearsal, now where were you?"

Yami took off his cap and tossed it to the couch. "Yugi and I got trapped in an alley, courtesy of a group of fangirls…"

"Who's Yugi?"

"The friend I met online."

Seto raised his eyebrows "A friend you met online? You know how stupid it is to hang out with someone you meet online? You don't even know who they are or how they look like! What if he is an obsessed fan? Or what if he tells the Paparazzi where we are?! We would have to move! AGAIN!"

Yami waved a hand "Oh please, I already met Yugi so it's too late for that, he is not a fan and he is not going to tell anyone who we are or how to find us…"

Seto narrowed his eyes still suspicious "How can you trust someone you barely know?"

Out of nowhere, Marik jumped in. "Well obviously the Pharaoh is in love with the guy!" He placed an arm around Yami's shoulders "Isn't that right Atem?"

Yami shoved him off "He is a friend!"

Marik smirked "Yes… a SPECIAL friend! The friend you have a crush on!"

Yami glared at him. "I do NOT have a crush on Yugi!"

"Yes you do!"

"I don't!"

"You do!"

"I don't!"

"YOU DON'T"

"I DO!"

"YOU DON'T!"

"I DO!"

Marik stomped a foot on the floor "I said YOU DON'T have a crush on Yugi!"

Yami slammed a fist on a table "And I said I am pathetically in love with him!" few seconds of silent mind processing… "Wait What?! NO!" Marik burst into a maniac laughter and as quickly as he came he was gone. Yami turned to Seto "…I don't…" he was cut off by Seto.

"Atem you know better than this! As rock stars we don't have time for things like romantic relationships! We have to stay focus on what's most important remember?"

Yami sighted "I know… but Yugi is just my friend! Though I have to admit… I have been having this weird feeling…" He looked at his hand, the hand that held Yugi's hand and source of his confusion. That warmth was still there. That annoying but at the same time comforting warmth. "He is just a friend…" he said more to himself but Seto still answered.

"If you say so" Seto turned to leave.

"I mean it! I don't like Yugi that way!"

Seto looked at him over his shoulder "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

Yami frowned "Whatever helps me sleep? What's that supposed to…" he looked up but Seto was gone "mean…" he shook his head "I am probably too tired." He walked upstairs and to his room but couldn't find rest.

End of flashback

Frustrated, Yami buried his face in the pillow. He seemed to be finally losing consciousness but he realized it was because he wasn't able to breath! He pushed himself up and gasped, filling his lungs with air. 'Dammed pillow…' he started to punch it 'Why won't he get out of my head?!' he gave one last punch and turned to the window thinking about Yugi, again.

No matter how hard he tried, Yami couldn't get his thoughts in something that wasn't Yugi. He thought of his eyes, amethyst, how they shinned when Yugi played a video game, his smile, so beautiful and his voice...

'I want to hear him! I want to hear his voice.' His tired mind made his decision and he grabbed his phone dialing Yugi's number. He pressed the phone on his ear and waited for Yugi to pick up. It wasn't until he heard the beeping sound of the phone calling Yugi that he realized what he was doing.

'…Why am I calling Yugi?! It's two in the morning! Damn it Yami you are better than this! What am I even going to say?! I better hang up before Yugi…'

"Hello?" And that's how Yami's heart skipped a beat.

Yami froze, his heart started beating faster and faster 'Oh no! What now?! What do I say?! What…'

"Ryou is that you again?!" Yami kept silent "I told you yesterday that this is not like your novels for women! You can go, grab that graphic novel of yours and shove it right up your…"

"YUGI?!" There was a long silence.

"…I believe you are not Ryou…"

Yami scratched the back of his head "H-Hey Yugi… it me, Yami…"

"Yami?! I mean… hey… uh… I wasn't expecting you to call… not for nothing but… why are you calling? More importantly why at... two in the morning?"

"Well I… couldn't sleep…" Yami admitted full of shame.

"And now you want ruin my rest too?"

Yami felt guilty and sighted "I am sorry… I…" Yugi's soft laughter cut him off.

"It's fine Yami, I was joking, my dream wasn't that interesting anyway… so what's the problem?"

"Well…" Yami lay down and he thought of the correct words to say "My mind is just… thinking and thinking without letting me sleep…"

"Thinking about what?"

A 'You' almost escaped from his mouth but thankfully Yami knew how control his tongue. "Well… stuff about the band you know… I need to write a new song but I just can't find inspiration…" That wasn't entirely a lie, the band was in urge of a new hit or they will slowly go down.

There was a hum sound followed by a silence then Yugi spoke "Well… maybe you should try to focus on a certain feeling… and express it in a song?"

"A feeling? Like what?"

"I don't know, anger, sadness, love..."

"Love?" For some reason that single word sent a shiver down Yami's spine.

"Look I don't know! I am gamer not a musician! I can't really help you with that!"

Yami chuckled "Let me guess… if you wrote a song it would be about video games..." even on the phone, he could feel Yugi's fail attempt of a glare.

"Keep mocking me all you want Yami, I can still beat you easily."

"You'll have to prove it when you come over, I have all these video games and no one can beat me"

Yugi laughed "I don't know; do you really want me to embarrass you in front of the other band members?"

"You are the one that will be embarrassed after losing against me!" They both laughed but it slowly faded out and Yami's confidence started to fade with it "I mean… you do want to come over right? B-because I am not f-forcing you or a-anything…"

Yugi giggled "Yami calm down, you are starting to stutter…"

"M-me? S-stutter? Nonsense! I-I don't stutter! D-did I stutter? I never stutter! You are probably imaging things…"

Yugi laughed "Of course… imaging things… and yes Yami, I want to go over to your house… I mean it's a freaking rock star's house! It should be interesting!" Yugi then gasped and groaned "Aw crap!"

"What?" Asked a suddenly worried Yami.

"I just remembered that tomorrow is Monday… I hate Monday mornings!"

Yami chuckled "Not a morning person huh?"

"No… Especially not on Mondays… who invented Mondays?!"

Yami laughed "Don't worry little one, I shall help you wake up tomorrow. After all, is my fault you are awake at two in the morning..."

Yugi snorted "Yeah what are you going to do? Wake up early just to text me and make sure I am up?"

"Maybe I will!"

"You are kidding right?" Yami shook his head "Did you just shake your head 'no'?" Yami nodded "I thought so… fine, whatever, suit yourself…"

Yami couldn't stop a grin to form on his face "Then it's settled! From this day on I shall be your personal alarm clock!" He heard a noise that was most likely Yugi face palming but ignored it. "Well… you got school tomorrow so maybe I should leave you to sleep…"

"Wait!" Yami raised an eyebrow, that was unexpected... "Uh… I mean… you wake me up, scaring every drop of tiredness that I had and now you are just going to leave me here to bore myself to dead?"

Yami chuckled "Well I am sorry… count sheep or something…"

Yugi groaned "I am too lazy to count… would you count for me?"

Yami raised an eyebrow "You want me to count for you?" He could feel Yugi nodding "Alright… if it helps you sleep… one…two… three…" eighty four sheep later Yami could hear Yugi snoring softly and smiled. "Good night little one" With that he hung up and placed his phone on the desk beside his bed, the smile never leaving his face. 'Well that went better than expected' Too happy to sleep, he looked at the window, waiting for the time to wake Yugi up.

*Some hours later*

It was the next morning and Yami was in the "silent room" of his mansion with his phone and a guitar. He had used Bakura's electric guitar to wake Yugi up.

"Why are you doing these?"

"I have three reasons actually, one…" Yami spoke but his heart was saying something different...

'I spend my nights just thinking about you...'

"I have noticed you are not a morning person so I am helping! Two…"

'I just wanted to hear your voice again…'

"I have nothing better to do and three…"

'I think I like you…'

"It's fun to annoy you!"

"What a friend you turned out to be…"

Yami laughed sheepishly… if only Yugi knew… wait… NO! 'I can't like Yugi that way right? Seto said… wait…' He looked at the door, it was open, and there was Seto with his scowl and a wooden spoon. "OH SHIT!" Seto slowly walked to him "I have to run for my dear life so call me after school okay? SETO DON'T…" His phone suddenly flied from his hand as Seto used his spoon as a baseball bat and hit the phone that crashed against the floor. "… Have you ever thought of playing professionally?"

"Why the HELL are you waking me up at SEVEN?!" Seto practically growled as he shook the spoon on Yami's face.

Yami knew he was going to regret it deeply but chuckled "You know? With that spoon you remind me of my mother…"

Seto decided to change his weapon as he threw the spoon at Yami's face and grabbed Bakura's guitar.

"Shit… look Seto! Money!" Seto instinctively turned around and Yami took the chance and escaped like a complete chicken. He hid in his room and closed the door… or at least he thought it was his room…

'SHIT!' Yami looked in horror at Bakura sleeping on his bed and Marik sleeping in the floor in a dog-like position. It was Bakura's room. Marik was just there because he was probably bothering the other one until falling asleep.

Waking Bakura and Marik on a Monday morning at seven was probably the stupidest thing any person that had a bit of sense of common could do. They were snoring loudly, daring anyone to bother them and threatening to kill if they did. Yami quickly thought of walking out but he heard Seto steps outside. 'I am officially doomed.' That was until a light bulb turned on above his head. 'Idea!'

Yami walked out letting the door wide open. There was Seto still holding Bakura's guitar looking for him. "Hey! Over here!" Seto turned to Yami and growled as he charged to him. Yami waited for the right movement and swiftly moved to the side making Seto run inside Bakura's room and slammed the door close pressing his back against it. He heard a crash followed by screaming.

"What the bloody… Is that my guitar?!"

"You woke me up from my pretty dream!"

Yami's back bumped against the door as strong blows came from the inside of the room. He could have sworn a bit of smoke came from the borders of the door. He shook his hands proudly and walked away ignoring what was probably the worst beat up someone could receive. He shrugged at the thought 'Seto should be just fine.' With that he walked to his room and closed the door behind him.
