Chapter 5: Fairs, Ferris Wheels And Plushies
Yami pulled on a pair of light blue jeans with a lightening pattern stitched down the front in dark blue, a white shirt red heart on the front and silver barbed wire on either side linked together then pulled a light blue hooded jacket on top and slipped on some white trainers. Soft garnet eyes fluttered over to Ryu as he heard a grunt, it was 8am and Yami was getting ready to meet Yugi at the pier for the fair like he had promised but was having trouble finding clothes that covered him injuries. Yami finally settled on the clothing he was wearing now and picked up Ryu's wallet and removed the £150 that was in there, he didn't expect to use it all but better safe then sorry. Yami physically winced as he moved the injuries Ryu had given him still hurt badly but he was forcing himself to ignore the pain. Yami knew Ryu would be livid when he returned but he didn't care, all he cared about was his Yugi.
'Wait….. His Yugi?' Yami thought, he let out a quiet sigh. 'Maybe Ryu hit me harder on the head then I thought.' Yami let the line go through his head again then smiled. 'No, it's because its Yugi.'
Yami picked up his keys then, just before he left, Yami pulled the hood of his jacket over his head and checked his appearance in the mirror in the hall ensuring that the hood covered the injuries Ryu had caused by throwing the bottle on his face. Yami let out another soft sigh, it would have to do, then left the house. The walk from his house to the pier was only 15 minutes at the most but Yami wanted to make sure he wasn't late. It only took Yami 10 minutes to reach the pier he sat on a post looking out at the sea and closed his eyes taking in the quiet surroundings, it was so peaceful. As people began to appear for the fair the area got louder at the sound of children giggling happily and parents and teenagers talking but Yami didn't mind, it was still a rather soothing atmosphere. Two hands were suddenly placed in front of his eyes.
"Guess who." A familiar voice teased.
Yami giggled happily and pretended to think.
"Is it the tooth fairy?" Yami teased back.
Yugi giggled softly in response.
"Close." He removed his hands from Yami's face and the other rose and smiled softly ensuring that the hood still covered his injuries. Yugi was wearing of navy blue jeans with a plain white shirt with a black belt around his stomach that had a ying yang symbol at the clasp and a pair of white trainers.
"Hey Yuu-chan." Yami giggled.
"Hey Yami-kun." Yugi greeted happily hugging him.
Yami winced as Yugi's body touched his injuries but refused to show he was in pain any further to ensure that he didn't worry the smaller and gently hugged back.
"How are you?" Yugi asked.
"I'm fine Yugi, and you?" Yami asked.
"Excited." Yugi replied with a bright heart warming smile.
Yami glanced at his watch to see that it was 8.45am, they still had 15 minutes left. The two happily talked for a while until they heard a loud cheer from the children close to see that the fair was open. Yugi jumped off the post they had been sitting on and smiled brightly at Yami.
"Ready?" Yugi asked.
Yami smiled brightly back.
"Yep." Yami giggled in reply carefully climbing off the post to ensure that he didn't agitate his injuries.
Yugi frowned.
"Are you ok?" Yugi asked worriedly.
"I'm fine." Yami replied with a smile.
"Yami it's really warm why don't you take off that hoodie?" Yugi suggested reaching forward.
"No!" Yami cried a little too fast.
Yugi blinked in shock and Yami saw the suspicion appearing in his eyes.
"I'm fine, I just…. Heard it was going to rain today." Yami tried.
Yugi opened his mouth to question but Yami cut through him.
"Race you there." Yami challenged quickly turning and running toward the fair and taking advantage of stopping Yugi's interview.
"Hey that's not fair." Yugi giggled chasing him.
Yami giggled in reply desperately trying to distract himself from the pain the running was causing to his wounds. Yami managed to make it to the fair only half a foot in front of Yugi. The two laughed happily, suspicious actions forgotten Yugi suggested that they look at the game stalls and Yami agreed. The two happily challenged each other to shooting, basketball and other games each of the stalls offered. Holding their winnings Yugi's eyes lit up at the sight of a roller coaster.
"Yami-kun let's go on that." Yugi shouted happily pointing.
Yami glanced at the roller coaster and frowned, how was he supposed to keep his hood on while riding that.
"Yugi I don-" Yami started but was quickly silenced by the happy hopeful look in Yugi's eyes and it quickly changed to a smile. "Why not?"
Yugi giggled happily and grabbed Yami's arm and raced toward the rollercoaster Yami desperately still trying to keep the pain off of his face. The two waited in line and gave their items to a worker to keep safe and climbed into one of carriages. They waited for the attendant to push down the safety bars and the ride started. Yugi giggled happily as it started at a slow pace, usually Yami liked rollercoasters but right now he was just worried about Yugi seeing his injuries. Yami took a deep breath as they began to ascend, Yugi glanced over to Yami and frowned when he saw a worried look.
"Yami if you didn't want to come on here you should have just said, I'm sorry if I made you." Yugi said bowing his head a little ashamed thinking he had forced the other onto the ride.
Yami glanced over to Yugi and smiled brightly.
"No, I like rollercoasters it's just…… Is this really safe, right by a pier, you know?" Yami lied.
Yugi's eyes softened at Yami's words as they reached the peak.
"I'm sure its fine Yami." Yugi assured him with a bright smile then reached over and took Yami's hand in his own. "Don't worry, I'm right beside you."
Yami blinked in shock as Yugi took his hand and looked at the smaller and watched Yugi smile, Yami couldn't help but smile back and he felt his heart flutter a little as he felt the warmth from Yugi's hand warm his own. Then they fell. Yugi screamed happily as they descended again with everyone else. Yami reached up and quickly grabbed his hood trying to keep it down against the wind. Yugi kept a tight hold of Yami's hand throughout the ride.
"Come on Yami." Yugi giggled happily as they ascended again.
A small smile traced Yami's face as he saw the happiness in Yugi's eyes. Yami released his hold forgetting about the hood and waited until they were at the top then raised both his hands in the air still clutching Yugi's and screamed happily along with everyone else throughout the rest of the ride. When it ended both Yami and Yugi were giggling happily as they waited for the attendant to life the safety bar. As they approached their carriage Yami saw the man halt at the sight of Yami's face. Yami felt his heart skip a beat at the sight remembering his injuries and quickly snatched the hood back up. The man pulled up the safety bar and the two climbed out and Yami heard the attendant mutter a quick 'sorry sir' as he passed him. Yami didn't reply and the two picked up their winnings from the worker and continued playing but Yami was much more careful of keeping his hood up.
A little later Yami and Yugi were walking through the fair grounds Yugi with a large piece of cotton candy on a stick and Yami had a slushie from a vendor. The two were happily giggling and talking carefully moving through the large crowds. A young boy raced through the crowds laughing happily as his parents chased him knocking Yugi to the side his parents muttering a quick 'sorry' as they chased their son. Yugi let out a small cry as he was knocked to the side dropping his candy floss and knocking Yami as well knocking Yami's slushie out of his hand as well and onto a boy's jacket in a group of passing teenagers. Yami gasped and quickly took a tissue out of his pocket and began desperately trying to wipe the stain off of the boy's jacket. The boy smacked Yami's hand away and grab the front of his hooded jacket and lifted him off of the ground.
"What the fuck do you think you were doing?" He spat angrily.
"I'm sorry…. I was just….. You see…." Yami tried desperately trying to sort out his thoughts.
"Hey!" A familiar voice cried pushing the teenager but not having much luck as he was much smaller than the other, the boy looked at him.
"He said he was sorry, he didn't do it on purpose just leave him alone." Yugi ordered trying to glare at the boy.
"Not until this bastard pays for what he's done." The boy spat his friends laughing behind him as he lifted his fist to hit Yami.
"I said stop it." Yugi cried trying to push the boy again.
The boy pulled Yami closer until their faces were barely an inch apart and Yami could smell his disgusting breath. The teenager suddenly let out a disgusted sound and threw Yami to the ground.
"What are you some kind of mutant?" He snapped.
"What do ya mean boss?" Another one of the boys asked.
The boy burst out laughing.
"There's no point beating my payment out of you, there's no way you could get any uglier." He laughed. "Who's your fucking father Frankenstein, no wait, he's better looking."
The leader kicked the side of Yami's face almost tearing the hood completely off of the jacket and revealing his face. Yugi fell onto his knees beside Yami and gasps at the sight of his face, he reached forward and gently touched Yami's injuries. Yami physically winced at the touch and pulled back. Yugi whimpered softly.
"Oh Yami." He whispered quietly.
Yami simply turned away ashamed. A sudden cry of panic made Yami quickly turn back. The leader had both arms wrapped around Yugi's waist and was smirking.
"Since there's no point beatin' my payment otta you I'll take out of your friend's body instead." He laughed his hand slipping up Yugi's shirt. "I'd say each fuck'll be worth about £10."
Tears formed in Yugi's eyes and he closed his eyes tightly desperately fighting against the man's hold.
"Stop it." Yugi begged.
The other boys began to laugh at Yugi's cries and fighting.
"Fiery little thing aren't you?" The leader teased with a smirk licking Yugi's neck.
Yugi let out a small cry of panic allowing the tears to fall from his eyes. Yami's felt anger rise in his chest at the sight of tears in Yugi's eyes and he threw himself of the ground and punched the boy hard and yanked Yugi from his grasp. The boy stumbled back and growled in anger and lifted his fist.
"How fucking dare you you disgusting piece of shit." He spat aiming a punch at Yami.
Yami easily dodged and glared into the boy's eyes, the boy's eyes widened in fear as Yami's eyes flashed a dark crimson for a second then he punched him again knocking the boy back again. The boy growled in anger and motioned for his friends to fight as well as the surrounded the two. Yami growled in anger. Yugi let out a soft cry as one of the boys yanked him back and held him tightly.
"Yami-kun." Yugi cried as the boy began stroking his body.
"Yugi." Yami gasped his eyes darkening again.
One of the boy's grabbed Yami while he was distracted, Yami kicked his knee as hard as he could. The boy cried out in pain and released Yami. Yami began hitting and kicking as many of the boys as he could trying to get to Yugi. Three of them grabbed Yami and the others quickly took advantage and began hitting and kicking Yami. Yami cried out in pain they punched Yami hard in the face, rubs and anywhere else they could.
"What's going on here?" An unfamiliar voice asked.
They all turned to see security guards standing around them. Seeing the boy's were restraining Yami and Yugi they ordered the boy's to release them. They quickly did as they were told and released them. The moment he was released Yugi raced toward Yami and threw his arms around him tears falling from his eyes.
"What happened?" The boy asked.
"One of them accidentally split a drink on that boy and they began attacking those two boys and one suggested raping the smaller one." A young woman said.
The security guard glanced at her then grabbed each of the boy's and began leading them off of the premises.
"Thank you." Yami thanked her softly.
She smiled then nodded. Yugi lead Yami over to a bench and carefully began checking his wounds.
"Yami are you ok? Did they hurt you? Let me see." Yugi continued questioning and begging Yami to let him see the wounds but Yami gently took Yugi's hand in his own.
"Forget about me, what about you?" Yami asked he drew Yugi close wrapping his arms around him. "Did any of them….. touch you Yugi?"
Yugi shook his head.
"No, I'm fine." Yugi assured him.
Yami sighed in relief and hugged Yugi.
"I'm glad, I was so worried about you." Yami whispered softly, he leaned back and smiled softly.
Yugi looked deep into Yami's eyes, they had changed back to a soft, innocent garnet colour, had they changed or had it been Yugi's imagination? Yugi smiled back then stopped when he saw the slashes on Yami's face again and gently touched the injury. Yami physically winced and pulled back again, he turned away from Yugi hiding his face.
"I know I look hideous." Yami sighed.
Yugi eyes filled with worry.
"What happened?" Yugi asked though he already knew the answer he just wanted Yami to confirm it, Yami did when he simply pulled his knees up and wraps his arms around his legs defensively. "Oh Yami."
Tears formed in Yami's eyes and streamed down his face. Yugi whimpered softly and gently moved and fell to his knees in front of Yami.
"Yami…" Yugi started but Yami turned away.
Yugi eyes glared in a cute defiance and he reaches forward ensuring to touch an injured part of Yami and turns his head to look into his eyes.
"I don't care about how the marks make you look Yami." Yugi whispers softly.
Yami looked into Yugi's eyes and blinked in shock.
"R-really?" He asked wiping the tears from his eyes.
Yugi's eyes softened and he nodded.
"All I care about is that you're allowing someone to treat you like this and that you're hurt." Yugi stated smiling softly. "You're still beautiful to me."
Yami smiled softly.
"Thank you." He whispered softly carefully wiping the tears from his eyes then his smile turned playful and teasing. "Beautiful?"
Yugi blushed brightly and turned away.
"I mean… er… well I….." Yugi muttered blushing from ear to ear. "Well…. You are kind of beautiful."
Yami smiles softly.
"Thank you again Yugi." Yami said with a bright smiles and a soft giggle.
Yugi looked at him with a bright smile his eyes trailed to the setting sun, the fair wouldn't be open for much longer.
"Yami-kun, we have time for one more ride and he haven't been on the ferris wheel yet." Yugi stated with a bright smile. "Would you like to go on?"
Yami smiled and nodded. Yugi smiled back and gently took Yami's hand and lead him toward the ferris wheel. Yami felt a little uncomfortable as they walked when he noticed how many people were staring at him, he felt Yugi gently squeeze his hand and he looked at the smaller and Yugi gave him a reassuring smile. Yami smiled back and the two made their way to the ferris wheel and climbed inside a carriage.
"Last ride of the day." The attendant stated as he opened the door.
The two sat in the ferris wheel and smiled when it began to turn. The two happily talked and smiled until they reached the top and they went quiet and stared at beautiful ocean as the sun's rays caught it and the sky was a soft orange creating a gorgeous picture perfect moment between the contrasts.
"Wow." Yugi whispered staring at the scene.
Yami turned to look at Yugi and stared intently at the smaller.
"Yes, it's magnificent." Yami stated staring straight at Yugi.
Noticing this Yugi blushed brightly and turned away. Yami smiled softly and Yugi gave him a bright innocent smile back, Yami watched as the rays of the sun caught Yugi's face perfectly giving him an angelic glow. Yami's eyes softened at the sight, Yugi was definitely Yami's saviour, Yami's angel. Yami felt his heart flutter at the sight and a warm feeling filled his body, Yami leaned forward and caught Yugi's lips in his own. Yugi blinked in shock at the action and Yami quickly pulled away noticing Yugi's reaction.
"Yugi I…. I am so sorry I don't know what came over me I…." Yami was cut off as Yugi suddenly rested both hands on Yami's face and kissed him back.
Yami wrapped both arms around Yugi and held him close as the two kissed holding each other close. The two parted after a few seconds.
"Yugi." Yami whispered staring deep into bright amethyst eyes.
Yami leaned forward and the two kissed again, Yami's hands began to travel around Yugi's body and began slipping up Yugi's shirt. Yugi blushed madly and pulled away.
"I don't want to….. Not here I just…." Yugi rambled.
"I'm sorry." Yami apologised. "I was at fault I couldn't help myself….. I love you Yugi Mutou."
Yugi smiled and threw his arms around Yami.
"I love you too Yami." Yugi cried happily.
The two sat simply holding each other in silence until the ride ended and the two climbed out. Knowing the fair was closing the two began making their way to the exit. Yami glanced at near by stalls and stopped when he had noticed that a shooting range was still running, the man hadn't packed away properly yet. Yami took Yugi's hand and walked toward the stall.
"Yami-koi?" Yugi asked having now given the other another nickname.
"Excuse me." Yami said softly.
The man glanced up.
"Yes?" He asked.
"May I have a go?" Yami asked.
"I'm sorry the fair is closing." He stated turning away.
"Please." Yami added.
He stared at Yami for a few seconds then nodded.
"Alright then, the prizes are what's on the shelf, what you shoot down is the prize you get. £5 for three shots." He stated.
Yami nodded and paid him then lifted up one of the guns. Glancing over the shelves Yami smiled when he noticed a particular prize. He lifted the gun and shot, missed. Yami sighed and shot again, another miss. Yami took a deep breath for his final shot and aimed carefully his eyes narrowing on his target, he shot and hit his target. Yami smiled brightly and he heard Yugi cheer and start giggling and clapping behind him. The man passed Yami the prize, Yami had heard in one of their earlier conversations that Yugi loved duel monsters, kuriboh in particular so he had shot down a kuriboh plush.
"Thank you." Yami thanked the man.
The man nodded in reply and began closing again. Yami and Yugi began walking again.
"Well done." Yugi congratulated him with a bright smile.
"Here." Yami said passing Yugi the kuriboh plush.
Yugi instantly shook his head.
"No Yami, you won it and paid for it." Yugi stated.
"I won it for you." Yami stated in retaliation. "Please Yugi take it, to symbolise our first date?"
Yugi blushed brightly at those words and took the kuriboh plush and kisses Yami's cheek.
"Thank you." He said with a bright smile.
As a result of the fight earlier they had both left their winnings wanting to get away as fast as possible so they had lost them all, Yami wanted to give something back to him. The two happily walked down the streets smiling and giggling happily. Yami stopped when his eyes met his house and he went silent. Yugi stopped and looked at the direction that Yami was, his eyes instantly filled with fear and desperation.
"No, Yami-koi you said you loved me please don't go back there." Yugi begged.
"Yugi-tenshi." Yami started but Yugi continued.
"Please Yami-koi you said you loved me don't leave me I'm begging you please." Yugi cried.
He was suddenly silenced when placed his lips on top of Yugi's then moved back.
"Don't worry Yugi, I'm not going back to him." Yami promised. "But I do need to face him."
"No you don't I-" Yugi started but Yami cut through him.
"Yugi I swear to you I will not go back to him but I want to sort this out, please." Yami begged.
Yugi bowed his head then nodded.
"Alright." Yugi sighed bowing his head.
Yami smiled softly and gave Yugi another kiss. Yugi walked Yami down the path Yami smiled softly.
"I'll be at your house by 8pm alright?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded.
"Ok." Yugi sighed bowing hid head again.
Yami leaned down and kissed Yugi again.
"I'll see you soon." He promised.
Yami took a deep breath and stepped into the house. Yugi turned around and began making his way down the path in silence. Yugi stopped for a second clutching his kuriboh plush tightly. Yami would be ok right? Sure Ryu would be mad but Yami would be ok. Ryu would be really angry though…. But Yami could handle himself right? Yugi closed his eyes tightly thinking. A sudden crash made Yugi spin around. Something caught the corner of his eye and Yugi looked at the front window of the house, the living room. Ryu had a tight hold of Yami's jacket and was using the other to repeatedly hit him. Yugi felt his heart clench at the sight.
"Yami." Yugi whispered quietly.
Ryu released Yami's jacket dropping him to the ground. He grabbed a fistful of Yami's hair dragging him to his feet then hit Yami again knocking him to the ground once more. Tears formed and streamed down Yugi's face. No, he refused to stand there any longer knowing Yami was getting hurt. Yugi walked over to the front door and ripped it open running into the house and toward his love.
