Yami's eyes widened in surprise when he opened his front door to see a clearly upset Yugi. Confused and wanting to help, Yami gently lead Yugi into his house. He tried to ask Yugi what was wrong, but the smaller teen was too choked up to make a coherent sentence.
"Come on, let's go to my room…" Yami whispered as he grabbed Yugi's wrist and lead him up the staircase.
Yugi made no objections, just simply followed. Yami could feel Yugi's shoulders shaking through their joined arms.
"Do you want me to get you some tea or something?"
Yugi slowly shook his head as he stumbled his way into Yami's bedroom.
"I… n..mph…" Yugi mumbled as he climbed onto Yami's bed and hugged a stray pillow to his chest.
From what Yami had gathered, Yugi was more content by contact. It worked well enough when he was with his brothers, so why wouldn't it work now? Slowly he sat down beside Yugi and tentatively put his arm around the teen's shoulders.
Just as he had thought, Yugi immediately sunk into his one armed embrace. He turned his head and just barely nuzzled the front of Yami's shoulder.
"Just relax…" Yami whispered soothingly. "Take some deep breaths."
After a few seconds Yugi began to do just that. After closing his eyes and breathing in and out in a calm manner, the knot in his throat eased up.
"I-I… screwed up Yami," Yugi said in a croaked voice. "I told h-him I h-h-hated him!"
Yami blinked in confusion, not understanding who Yugi was talking about. Was it possibly Ryou?
"Who did you say that to?" he asked quietly.
Yugi clenched his eyes shut and locked his jaw tightly. "A-Atemu!"
Yami felt his mouth drop open in shock. He couldn't believe what he had just heard! Yugi told Atemu that he hated him? Impossible! There was no way! Every time Yami had seen them together they gave each other hugs and were always laughing and smiling together.
"I didn't m-mean too! I was just so mad! I don't hate him, Yami! I don't! I couldn't even if I tried!" Yugi shouted as tears poured down his face.
Yugi tried speaking again, but let out a cough as he choked on his tears. He started sobbing so hard that his entire torso was heaving.
"Shhh…" Yami cooed as he repositioned himself so that he was laying against his headboard with Yugi laying against his chest.
He held one arm around Yugi's chest, while he started to run his other hand through Yugi's hair, in an attempt to soothe him.
"What do I do?" Yugi cried in anguish. "I feel so bad!"
Yami felt his heart pound heavily in his chest, he had never seen anyone so upset before. Yugi was always so happy no matter what. To see someone like him look so distressed was painfully sad.
"I want to take back what I said! I'll take it all back! He doesn't even have to come to the dive meet! I don't care anymore, I just want to take back what I said! What do I do Yami!" Yugi cried out loudly as he grabbed on tightly to the arm wrapped around his chest.
Yami realized that Yugi was in a blind panic. He had to calm him down somehow or else Yugi was going to go somewhere so far in his mind that it would be hard to repair the damage.
Knowing he was going to regret it later, Yami slowly laid Yugi down on his bed before he crawled over him. He looked at Yugi's pain filled expression and gently wiped his tears away with his fingers. He settled himself a little lower, very aware of the confused expression that was starting to appear on Yugi's face.
He put one of his hands on Yugi's cheeks and began to gently rub it with his thumb while he leaned his face closer to Yugi's neck. Once he was close enough he paused above the alabaster skin for a few seconds before he brought his lips to Yugi's neck.
A small gasp of surprise escaped Yugi's mouth as he felt Yami's soft lips kiss down the space beneath his jaw. His mind went blank for a little while as it tried to catch up with the present actions being done to him.
"Shhh," Yami whispered between each kiss.
"Y-Yami…" Yugi practically mouthed as the shock started to wear off.
He loosely grabbed a hold of Yami's shoulders as Yami continued to press kisses to his neck.
"You're so beautiful…" Yami murmured against Yugi's skin.
Yugi's eyes widened even further, wondering if he had just heard Yami right. Did he just call him beautiful…?
"Tu eres muy guapo…" Yugi heard himself say quietly.
He could feel Yami grin against his skin.
A/N - Hm… well it looks like Yami's idea worked. For now. Uh honestly I was not even thinking about writing that scene originally, but someone said they wanted to see more Puzzleshipping so the idea popped into my head shortly after I had Yugi blabber about wanting to take back what he said. Guess you'll just have to figure out how far Yugi and Yami went in the next chapter! Oh and I know I wrote this chapter kind of fast. I don't usually do very intimate scenes between Yugi and Yami so I'm kind of testing the waters.
Translation:
Tu eres muy guapo - You are very handsome
(No I did not use a translator, I actually knew how to say that in Spanish!) Score for speaking Spanish!
