Sorry I haven't updates as frequently as I did before, I've had writers block and I didn't quite know how to continue the story on...
please r&r!
Yami stumbled down the stairs, trying to catch up with his light, but before he could, the front door slammed and there was a sudden gush of wind at the bottom of the stairs.
Yami sighed, strolling towards the door and opening it hopelessly, as he knew there was no way he'd find Yami now.
He sprinted back up the stairs and got dressed as quickly as he could, before skipping back down the stairs and out of the door, instantly shouting after Yugi as he got outside.
Birds flew out from trees and made loud, screeching noises at their fright after Yami's scream.
Yami sighed and chose a direction to follow, and began walking that way. On the way, he started to phone all of the others to keep a look out.
Yugi knocked on the door and waited. And waited. And waited...
His heart was beating so fast; not only because of how much he had just ran, but because of his memory and the events of last night. He felt like breaking down crying.
Yami didn't love him really... Did he?
"Drunken words mean nothing," Yugi thought to himself, clenching at his jacket to hold back tears, "Yami used me... That's the only explanatio-"
Yugi's thoughts were interrupted as the door unlocked, and opened gradually, as if the door itself was tired.
Mai stood at the entrance of the door, with a cigarette and a coffee, looking rough: clearly nursing a hangover.
"Yugi... It's early and I'm hungover as fuck, this better be good." Mai demanded, before stepping aside to let the young teenager, practically in tears through the door.
Ten minutes later, after Yugi had explained everything and Mai had made him a hot chocolate and some toast, she sat in silence.
Moments passed, before Mai lit another cigarette, and attempted to speak something that actually made sense.
"You.. Y-ou? You and Yami? You... Slept together?" She stuttered, trying to take in the information.
"Yep... And, he knows how I feel..." Yugi winced, "And he claimed he loves me, but... You saw how drunk he was. What if he was just saying it so I would.. You know?"
His beautiful amethyst eyes began to fill with tears of worry and regret, and Mai's heart plummeted.
She sighed, and got a tissue and wiped a tear from his cheek for him, before handing the tissue to him.
"Look, kid. You can't be telling anyone I'm doing this for!" Mai said, winking at Yugi.
Confusion overtook Yugi's face.
Mai stood up and walked over to her phone, messed around with it for a second, and threw it to Yugi.
He picked it up. The screen had a little crack in it, probably done when he was drunk, since she seemed to be quite a lot.
"I don't... I mean-" Yugi started.
"Just read it. You'll understand." Mai insisted.
"Mai... I really don't know what to do. This probably isn't expected, but you are the one I trust most with my worries, because I know you will help as much as you can... Yugi seems distant. Like he doesn't want to be around me, and it's killing me because, well, because I really like him. No, no I don't. I really love him. Mai, I don't know what to do? I'm sorry for putting this all on you, but I really need your help. Is it possible if I come over now? Or we can meet somewhere? Please Mai. Thank you xx"
"It's a text... From Yami!" Yugi thought to himself, his heart and mind suddenly racing, "Wait a minute... It's dated as the 19th of July.. That was over six months ago..."
"Mai... I don't understand. Why hasn't he said anything before... I mean, why-" Yugi didn't know how to finish his sentence.
"Yugi, hun, I don't know what to say. I know you two, all too well actually. I know that both of you; as much as the other are mobilized by love, but are both too blinded by this requited love to see how the other feels. It's ridiculous!" She took another drag of her cigarette and paused her rant for a second, "Seriously. Go home. Call Yami. Speak to him. Find him. Whatever! I don't care, just find him and make things right. You two deserve each other."
Tears began to fill Yugi's eyes before he dashed across the room and pulled Mai into a thankful hug.
"Alright kid, now get out of here before I kill ya! This hangover aint gonna cure itself and you're not helping!" She winked at Yugi, before ruffling his hair.
Yugi smiled up at the taller girl, and nodded before running out of her apartment and back in the direction he came from.
Ahhh I'm so disappointed in this chapter ;_;
I know Yugi probably would have gone to Joey or something really, but, Mai is my favourite character, and this is my fic, and I wanted her to have an important part in the fic... Therefore, She is cupid!
I'm sorry if you don't like this chapter as much, because I know I don't... Sigh.
Oh well, I'll update when I can think how to carry on the story! Thanks again for reading!
