Chapter 3- Who I've Been Waiting For
A few weeks had passed by since Yugi and Yami had learned of Joey and Seto's betrayal. The two had been doing much better since then as they were starting to get over them.
Currently, Yami was sitting in the living room while Yugi was in the kitchen making dinner.
Yami got up and walked into the kitchen. "What are we doing tonight, Aibou?" Yami asked.
"I don't know. I don't really have anything in mind." Yugi replied.
"Hmm. Neither do I. I guess we could always stay in." Yami said.
"I suppose so." Yugi agreed.
"Is there anything that you want to do?" Yami asked.
"Not particularly." Yugi replied. After Yugi got dinner ready, he set the plates on the table and sat down with Yami at the table.
"I really think that we need to get out and do something." Yami said.
"What do you want to do?" Yugi asked.
"That's what I don't know." Yami admitted.
They ate their dinner as they made small talk.
"Yami, how has your job at the museum been doing?" Yugi asked.
"It's been fine. I enjoy given people tours of the museum, especially in the Egyptian wing." Yami said.
"Putting your knowledge of ancient Egypt to good use." Yugi remarked.
"You're not kidding. It's great to be able to use my knowledge for a good cause." Yami said. He looked up at Yugi and said, "How has your job been?"
"It's great. I like working in as a game designer. It lets me do what I love." Yugi said.
"I'm just glad that Pegasus let you work from here in Domino." Yami said.
"I doubt that I would have taken the job if I had to move." Yugi replied.
After dinner, Yami washed the dishes.
The two then went into the living room and sat down.
The phone then rang.
Yugi picked up the receiver and said, "Hello?"
"Hi, Yugi." Tea said.
"Hi, Tea. What's up?" Yugi asked.
"I was wondering if you and Yami were doing anything tonight." Tea said.
"No. We don't have anything planned. Why?" Yugi asked.
"Well, Tristan and I were planning to go out, and we were wondering if you two wanted to go with us." Tea said.
"Hold on a sec, Tea." Yugi said. He covered the mouthpiece and said, "Tea wants to know if we want to go out with her and Tristan tonight."
"I guess we can. Not like you and I have anything better to do." Yami said.
Yugi uncovered the mouthpiece. "Tea, Yami and I can come. Where do you want us to meet you?" Yugi asked.
"We're going to Midnight Rush. See you there, and dress appropriately." Tea said before hanging up.
"Tea! Hold on!" Yugi exclaimed. He groaned in frustration and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong, Yugi?" Yami asked.
"Tea did it again. She tricked us into going somewhere we wouldn't normally go to." Yugi said.
Yami sighed. "That girl is good at tricking us. Where are we going this time?" Yami asked.
"Midnight Rush." Yugi said.
"Midnight Rush?! That's a nightclub!" Yami exclaimed.
"I know. We might as well go and get changed for it. There's no way that Tea is letting us out of this." Yugi said.
The two then headed upstairs to change.
"How did it go?" Tristan asked.
"Perfect. They're going to meet us at Midnight Rush." Tea said, clapping her hands together.
"That's great. I hope that this idea of yours works." Tristan said.
"Come on, Tristan. This is the best thing for the both of them. You and I both know that Yami and Yugi are meant to be together. I just want to get them together." Tea said.
"I know. I just hope that they see that." Tristan said.
"Come on. We had better get ready." Tea said.
"Okay. Let's go." Tea said.
The two went to get ready for the club that night.
Yami was the first one to go downstairs. He was dressed in black leather pants with a black tank top. He also had on the neck belt and bracelets that he always wore with his leather attire. He wore his boots and took his leather jacket out of the closet, also grabbing Yugi's leather jacket in the process.
"You ready, Yami?" Yugi asked.
"Yes. I'm ready." Yami said. He turned and had to force himself not to let his jaw drop.
Yugi was wearing an outfit identical to Yami's, but Yugi had straightened his hair out so that it fell down his shoulder.
"We should probably get to the club. You know that Tea's going to kill us if we get there too late." Yugi said.
Yami snapped out of his stupor at how Yugi looked. "Sure thing, Aibou. Let's go." Yami agreed.
Yugi took his jacket from Yami and out it on.
Yami also out on his jacket as they walked out the door.
Tea and Tristan were waiting outside of Midnight Rush.
"I wonder where they are." Tea murmured.
"Tea, calm down. I'm sure that they're on their way. Don't worry." Tristan said.
"I hope that they didn't decide not to come." Tea said.
"Tea, you know that Yugi never breaks a promise, so he'll be here, and you know that there is no way that Yami is going to let Yugi come to a club without him." Tristan said.
"Yeah. It's amazing that those two haven't gotten together given how well they know each other. Yami's so protective and possessive of Yugi that a lot of people think they are dating." Tea said.
"And Yugi's always going to Yami with his problems. He also does the cooking for them. Not to mention the fact that they are so comfortable around each other.' Tristan said.
"Something, they can be so blind. I think that tonight might change all that." Tea said.
"So, you're going to handle Yugi, and I'm handling Yami, right?" Tristan asked.
"Right. I hope that this works." Tea said.
"Well, we'll see." Tristan said.
"Hey! Tea! Tristan!"
The two turned to see Yugi and Yami coming toward them.
"Hi, guys. Glad that you made it." Tea said.
"Well, we said that we would come." Yugi said.
"Come on. Let's go on in." Tristan said.
The four went into the club.
"Wow! This is a real upbeat club." Yugi said.
The music was blaring and people were already on the dance floor dancing.
"It's one of the hottest clubs in town." Tea replied.
"Yugi. Tea. Why don't you two go and sit down? Yami and I will get us some drinks." Tristan said.
Yugi and Tea then went off.
Yami and Tristan headed off to get some drinks.
"I need to get a martini and a margarita." Tristan told the barkeeper.
"And what about you?" the barkeeper asked Yami.
"I need two scotches." Yami replied.
The two waited for the drinks.
"Yugi's looking real hot tonight." Tristan committed.
"I thought that you were straight, Tristan." Yami said.
"I am straight, but only an idiot wouldn't admit that Yugi looks hot dressed like that, especially with his hair straightened out like that." Tristan said.
"I noticed." Yami said.
Tristan glanced at him. "You saw how hot he looks?" Tristan asked.
"Like you said, only an idiot wouldn't see that." Yami said.
"True. Have you ever thought of asking Yugi out?" Tristan asked.
"No." Yami said.
"Why not? I mean, I can tell that you like him." Tristan said.
"Y-you can?" Yami asked.
"Sure. I mean, you two know everything about each other. I don't think that you have any secrets with each other. You two are perfect for each other." Tristan said.
"Maybe, but Yugi doesn't feel the same way." Yami said.
"How do you know that?" Tristan asked.
"Come on. Why would he want to go out with me?" Yami asked.
"Why wouldn't he want to go out with you?" Tristan asked.
Yami had no answer.
Yugi and Tea had found an empty table and sat down at it.
"Yami looking real hot tonight, isn't he?" Tea asked.
"Yami always looks hot." Yugi replied.
"You noticed that?" Tea asked.
"Tea, I'm gay. Trust me. I'm going to notice when a guy is hot." Yugi said.
"Then why don't you go out with him?" Tea asked.
"What?!" Yugi exclaimed, looking at her.
"Come on, Yugi. I know that you like him." Tea said.
"Tea, Yami and I are just friends. Plus, he's my dark." Yugi said.
"I know that, Yugi. You tow are closer than anyone I ever met. You two have a relationship that I can't understand, Yugi." Tea said.
Yugi sighed. "The truth is that I do like Yami, but why would Yami want to go out with me when he could have anyone that he wants?" Yugi asked.
"Maybe you should take a chance on him." Tea said.
It wasn't long before Yami and Tristan came over with their drinks.
"What made you two want to come here?" Yami asked.
"Well, we heard that this was a great club, and we wanted to check it out. We figured that you two would like to come." Tea said.
"Well, we needed to get out." Yugi said.
Soon, a song started that Tea really liked.
"Hey, Yugi. Would you dance with me?" Tea asked.
"Sure thing." Yugi replied.
The two went to the dance floor and started dancing together.
"Yami, you know, if you want to go out with Yugi, all you have to do is ask him." Tristan said.
"I can't, Tristan. It would ruin everything between us." Yami said.
Tristan rolled his eyes. "Just because you two start dating doesn't mean that everything is going to change. You just have to take a risk." Tristan said.
"I did that with Kaiba, remember." Yami said. He had started calling Seto by his last name again.
"Yami, you know Yugi, and you know that he wouldn't do something like that to you. Love is a risk, Yami. Don't you think that I risked my friendship with Tea when I asked her out?" Tristan asked.
"You did?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. I didn't know at the time that Tea liked me. I was pretty much risking it all. If she didn't like me, even if she still considered me a friend, it would have changed things. Tea did like me, and things have worked out for us." Tristan said.
"How do you know that things will work out between me and Yugi?" Yami asked.
"I don't know, but you won't know if you don't try." Tristan said.
Yami was silent. 'Tristan does have a point.' Yami thought.
Yugi and Tea were out on the dance floor, dancing together.
"This was a great idea! I haven't been out dancing in a long time." Yugi said.
"I thought that you would like it." Tea said.
The two continued dancing.
'If everything goes well, Tristan should convince Yami to break in.' Tea thought.
Tea and Tristan both knew that no amount of prodding would convince Yugi to ask Yami out, so they knew that they had to get Yami to be the one to make the first move. They were banking on Yami finally being the one to make the first move and ask Yugi out.
"How did you even hear about this place?" Yugi asked.
"I heard about it through a friend. I heard that it was a great place to come and dance, so I thought that we could try it out." Tea said.
The two kept on dancing to the beat of the music.
Before long a baritone voice said, "Mind if I cut in?"
Tea and Yugi looked to see that Yami had come up to them.
Tea hid a smirk and said, "Sure thing, Yami. I'll leave you two to dance." She then walked off.
"I didn't expect this." Yugi said.
"I know, Aibou, but I thought that it wouldn't hurt." Yami said.
The two then started to dance together.
"I didn't realize that you were such a good dancer, Yami." Yugi said.
"I could say the same thing about you." Yami replied.
Tea went back to sit down with Tristan.
"So, do you think that it worked?" Tristan asked.
"I don't know, but at least you got him to dance with Yugi. That's a start at least." Tea said.
"I think he's afraid of getting hurt again." Tristan said.
"Well, with Yugi, Yami doesn't have a thing to worry about." Tea said.
Tristan looked at his girlfriend and said, "How about we go out and dance?"
"I think that that is a great idea." Tea agreed.
The two then went out onto the dance floor to dance together.
Yugi and Yami had danced to a few songs before they decided to go back and sit down at the table.
"I didn't know that you knew how to dance, Yami." Yugi said.
"Well, I don't go dancing that often." Yami replied.
"I think that you should dance more often." Yugi said.
"Thanks, Aibou." Yami said.
The two drank on their drinks as they sat there.
Yugi glanced at his watch and said, "Wow. It's already two in the morning."
"No way." Yami said, checking his own watch.
"I guess time gets away from you." Yugi said as he finished the glass of scotch.
"I guess so." Yami agreed.
Tea and Tristan came up to them, and Tea said, "Since it's getting late, we were thinking that we should go on home."
"We were just thinking that." Yami said.
The group left the club.
After getting home, Yugi and Yami headed into the living room.
"You know, I think that I needed that time out." Yugi said.
"So did I." Yami said
"And I learned that you can dance well, something that I didn't know you could do." Yugi said.
"I'm glad that I was able to surprise you." Yami said.
"You certainly did." Yugi said.
"Um, Yugi. Could I ask you something?" Yami asked.
"Sure thing, Yami. What's that?" Yugi asked, looking at him.
"Well, I was just wondering if you would like to go out with me some time." Yami said.
Yugi frowned. "Yami, we go out all the time." Yugi said.
"No, Yugi. I don't mean that. I mean, do you want to go out with me? On a date?" Yami said.
"You want to date me?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah. I do. Tristan pointed out to me that you and I are a lot like a couple, and the truth is that I do like you, and I would like to go out on a date with you." Yami said.
"Yami, I didn't even know that you felt like that." Yugi said.
"I was worried that this might change things between us, and I didn't want that to happen." Yami admitted.
Yugi smiled. "Yami, nothing is going to change our friendship." Yugi said.
"That's good to know." Yami said.
Yugi then slid up close to Yami. "Besides, there's nothing to ruin." Yugi said.
Yami looked up, and Yugi closed the distance between their lips, kissing Yami.
Yami closed his eyes and kissed Yugi back.
The kiss was short, but sweet.
"I take it that you will go out with me." Yami said.
"Yes, I will." Yugi agreed.
"Good." Yami said.
"So, should we tell Tea and Tristan that their little plan worked?" Yugi asked.
"You noticed, too?" Yami asked.
"Yeah. It was fairly obvious." Yugi said.
"Well, we can tell them later." Yami said.
"Right. I think that we should go to bed." Yugi remarked.
The two then headed upstairs to go to their separate rooms after kissing each other good night.
Hope you liked it.
I know I said that this would be a four chapter story, but I think that I am going to extend it to five chapters.
Next: Yugi and Yami forgive Joey and Seto. Also, Tea and Tristan find out that their plan worked.
R&R.
