Me: "So I forgot to say this yesterday, but I got inspired to write this plot from a Spongebob episode called Donut of Shame."
Jay: "… Good to know."
Me: "Shut up. Oh and I want to thank all of you for the reviews and added favorites and such. Means a lot to me and I highly appreciate it."
Free: "Yeah she really does. Anyways, we don't own Yugioh or the characters. Enjoy"
Yami slowly opened his eyes the next morning, not even remembering the events that happened last night until he looked at the space beside him. He almost screamed at seeing another person in bed with him, but calmed down once he realized it was only Yugi. The small teen must have crawled in bed with him later that night because Yami specifically remembered putting Yugi in the extra guest room that Joey sometimes used. He had to be careful getting out of bed since Yugi was snuggled up against him, fast asleep.
Poor kid probably hasn't slept much in all his life, Yami thought as he closed his door and made his way downstairs into the kitchen. He was just happy it was Saturday so he could sort some things out. Like school. Yami knew Yugi was going to need to go to school, but wasn't even sure if Yugi had been educated in the slightest. But Yugi could at least talk and that was good enough to get into school, right? Yami's thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing which he grabbed swiftly so the sound wouldn't wake the sleeping teen upstairs.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Morning Yami, hope I didn't wake you up." his mothers voice answered on the other line.
"Oh, no, I was awake." he replied bluntly as he searched through his cabinets for coffee, but only found an empty box. "Damn it." he whispered as he ran a hand through his spiky hair. "So what did you want anyways?"
"I just wanted to know if you needed anything. I'm heading to the store and thought I might stop by for a while, if that's ok with you." she sounded as if she was daring him to refuse to this, which he wouldn't, but he knew it wasn't the best time for her to be coming over.
"Actually mom, I-I kind of have a guest over. Possibly a permanent one for a while. So I don't think…" he said nervously while trailing off.
There was silence on the other line and he knew his mom was obviously thinking that he had a girl over.
"I'm coming over, right now!" there was a loud thumping sound and then the line ended.
"Shit!" Yami hissed as he ran upstairs to his room.
He needed to make sure Yugi was awake and looking nice so his mom wouldn't consider the young teen inconsiderate. He opened the door to his room to see Yugi still curled up into the blankets, fast asleep. He watched him for a few seconds, feeling bad that he had to wake him up, but eventually shook the young ones shoulder lightly. Yugi didn't move so he shook a little harder until he heard a moan come from Yugi.
"No…" Yugi mumbled as he dug his face into the pillow he was using.
Yami couldn't help but smile as he sat down next to the boy and pulled the covers off him. "Come on baby, please?" Yami begged as he poked the littler one on the back. Yugi spun around with a dazed expression on his face.
"Baby? I'm sixteen years old for your information Mr. pizza man!" Yugi said with his arms crossed as he sat up in bed.
"Mr. pizza man?" Yami asked with a laugh causing Yugi to blush.
"It's the morning, I'm tired, you can't blame me for such a lazy insult." Yugi sighed as he rubbed his eyes and began stroking his thigh again.
"I guess not. But seriously, you have to get up and get dressed, my moms coming over and she's going to see you and I want you looking good for her."
"Why? Is she old and desperate?" Yugi asked confused.
"No, Yugi, it's not like that, I mean, I just want you to look… appropriate for her. You know, so you can make a good impression and so she'll let you stay here." Yami explained as he started digging around in his closet for something for Yugi to wear.
Everything he had was too big for Yugi's small frame. Crap!
"Ok new plan. Were going for the poor and desperate look. Now give me your best sad pleading face." Yami ordered as he watched Yugi think for a second.
Yugi nodded before changing his expression from tired sleepy boy to sad helpless teen. His eyes widened and became watery, his lips slightly trembled, and his posture just made everything else work. Even Yami felt the need to hug him he looked so sad. But then the doorbell rang and he grabbed Yugi's hand before running down the stairs.
"Go in the kitchen, sit in a chair, and look cute." Yami ordered as he pushed Yugi into the other room before answering the door.
A woman stood on the porch, looking quite bitter. Her half black half blond hair was put up into a messy ponytail, her dark blue eyes with golden flecks seemed to glow like fire, and her skinny arms were crossed in an un-approving manner.
"Er, hey mom. Come on in." he stepped aside so his mother could walk in.
As soon as she stepped inside the house her eyes immediately began to wander for the "possibly permanent guest."
"He's in the kitchen." Yami explained, stressing the word he.
His mother seemed to slightly relax a little bit as she followed him into the kitchen where they found Yugi sitting in a chair with his head on the table. He was asleep.
Damn it, Yugi! Yami slammed his hand to his forehead and sighed. But his mom didn't seem to mind that he was sleeping. Actually, she looked happy. A smile came to her face and she lightly purred, "Aw…" then she abruptly turned on her heels and smacked her son across the face. Yami staggered backwards as he caressed his cheek and rubbed it.
"Ow!" he screamed which made Yugi wake up. "What was that for?"
"For making him sleep on the table! What kind of host are you Yami? Didn't I teach you anything?" his mom yelled before she went over to the now awake teen and began stroking his hair, causing Yugi to become more alert. He seemed to back away by the new person being in the house with them.
"Actually… Yami let me sleep in his guest room." Yugi assured Yami's mom.
After muttering an apology to her son everyone sat down at the table and discussed Yugi's situation. They told her how Yugi didn't have a home and came looking for food, but ended up getting caught and how he ended up staying for the night. Yami's mother nodded at all of this, she seemed to be alright will all of this unlike how she was over the phone. They then discussed more important matters. Like if Yugi could go to school.
"Have you ever been to school?" Yami's mom asked.
Yugi gave her a puzzled expression as he tried to think back. "Um… I think I did for one year. Learned about math and stuff." he shrugged as if not really caring.
"Well, do you think you would want to go back?"
Yugi looked at his hands as if the answer lied in them. He shrugged shyly and sighed.
"I-I…" he moved his lips, but no words came out. "Ok…" he barely whispered.
Both Yami and his mom new that all these changes could be too much for Yugi. They figured they would let him settle in a little longer before bringing the school topic back up again.
"You two can discuss it later. I need to get going, but I'll stop by later in the week, ok?" Yami's mom said as she stood up, kissed both boys on the head, and left.
Yugi touched the spot on his head where he was kissed and lightly blushed. Yami mentally laughed at him and decided to take Yugi out for a bit since they were both fully awake and feeling a little overwhelmed by everything.
"Hey, how about we go get some coffee? And buy you a pair of clothes…" Yami said as his eyes slid down the teens frame once again.
"Sure, but I can't say that I won't get thrown out. Because I do. A lot." Yugi rolled his eyes as he pushed himself off his chair with Yami following after him.
The two of them got into Yami's car and began to drive to the coffee house. Yugi didn't seem to be paying attention to anything Yami was saying though. He was more interested in all the buttons in the car and kept asking Yami what all of them did. His favorite button, or rather lever, was the one that made his chair fall backwards and then come up forward again.
"This is fun Yami!" Yugi laughed as he pulled the lever repeatedly.
"Yugi! Put your seatbelt back on!" Yami said as he watched the teen press the red button, causing the belt to slide back against the side of the car.
"I don't like it. It restrains me." he whined as he reached back for the belt, not wanting to make Yami mad.
"Well yeah, it's supposed to, so if we get into a wreck you won't smash your head into the window."
Yugi looked worried by this and re-buckled himself into the seat. They sat in silence for the rest of the time until they got the popular coffee house that Yami only went to when he was out of coffee. Both of them got out of the car and walked towards the entrance. Yami was about to open the door when he felt Yugi's hand grab his tightly. He looked down at the boy to see his eyes wide and petrified by the dozens of people inside.
"It's ok Yugi, they won't throw you out." Yami assured.
Yugi nodded, but still clung onto Yami's hand as they went inside. Only a few people bothered to look their way as they came in. Some of those few people went to Yami's school and stared at the little one behind him with lust filled eyes.
"Damn would you look at that kid?" one of them known as Daichi mumbled to his group.
"Yeah, he's a looker…" another one of the group agreed.
They watched as the two spiky haired boys ordered two cups of coffee and headed to a vacant table for two.
"Hey, I'm gonna grab some napkins. Stay right here and don't move, ok?" Yami said before he went pushing through the crowds towards the table on the other side of the room that held all the sugars, creams, and napkins. Meanwhile Yugi sat at the table, uninterested in his coffee, not even realizing the two boys that were walking up behind him.
"Hello… short cake." a snaky voice said from behind him making Yugi jump.
He didn't turn around to see who was talking to him, he just continued to sit there. This made the two boys smirk as one of them began to run his fingers through Yugi's thick hair. Yugi went board stiff and grabbed the edge of his chair, scared out of his wits.
"How bout you come sit over here with us…" the other boy whispered in Yugi's ear, making him flinch.
Yugi got off his chair although he was about to pee his pants and grabbed his coffee. He then popped the cap off and tossed the contents in the cup at the two boys who hissed as the burning hot coffee slapped their faces. Yugi tried to run, but the crowd was so thick that he couldn't make his way through and felt himself being pulled backwards.
"You little dick!" he heard being yelled at him.
"HEY!" came a familiar voice before Yugi felt himself in a tug a war session.
He was spun around in time to see Yami throw a punch at the two guys who had been toying with him. And before he knew it all hell broke loose. Innocent bystanders were now getting into the fight. Not knowing who was the bad guy, but liking the action anyways. Yugi felt a hard fist being thrown into his stomach before he fell backwards on the ground, gasping for air. People started stepping on him as the fight got worse.
"Yugi?" Yami called for the little teen. "Yugi!" he screamed as he spotted him on the floor being trampled on by all the people.
He pushed and punched his way through people before wrapping his arms around the smaller boys waist and pulling him off the floor, into his arms, and out the door.
