Max: Ooh, drama between the lovebirds

Me: They're not lovebirds yet, Max.

Max: Yeah well they sure do act like it.

Me: Whatever. This chapter is not as long as the last two. But I hope you all will enjoy it anyway.

Chapter 3

Yami pulled Yugi into the bathroom. Yugi was in tears. Yami didn't know what to do so he just wrapped his arms around Yugi and held him close.

"Shh, it's gonna be alright, Yugi."

Yugi shook his head against Yami's shirt, "No," He lifted his head and wiped his eyes. "Joey really hurt me, Yami."

"I know, Yugi. I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say to make me feel better."

"I can think of one thing."

"What's that?"

Yugi stood on his tiptoes and leaned closer to Yami's face and placed a kiss on his lips. Yami's breath hitched and he opened his mouth just slightly. Yugi took that as an invitation to enter his mouth and he did. Yami kissed Yugi back for a few minutes before he pulled away.

"Yugi, we can't do this."

"Why not?"

"Because this isn't what you're looking for right now. You're just angry at Joey. Besides, we hardly even know each other."

Yugi huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Yami groaned at how sad Yugi looked.

"Yugi, look, you are very cute and I like you a lot, but I think we should get to know each other a bit more before we start jumping in the sack. I mean we've only known each other for two days."

"Fine."

Yami nodded and he and Yugi walked out of the bathroom. Yami noticed that Joey had gone home.

"Yugi, are you alright?" Ryou asked.

"Fine."

"Ryou, Bakura, you mind taking Yugi back to my place?"

"What? Why?" Yugi asked.

"In case Joey decides to come back. I don't wanna have to see you face him again," Yami said and handed him the keys to the house.

Ryou nodded and led Yugi out the bar with Bakura trailing behind. The ride to Yami's house was silent. Once inside the house Yugi sat on the couch and turned on the television. Ryou sat next to Yugi on the couch while Bakura sat in the chair.

"Yugi, how come you didn't tell me you were pregnant before when I checked you over?"

Yugi shrugged, "I dunno."

"How far a long are you? Have you had an ultrasound and all that?"

"I dunno how far a long I am. And no. I haven't seen a doctor since I found out I was pregnant."

"You're parents didn't take you?"

"Like my family has time to waste on me now that their precious son is gay," Yugi spit angrily.

"That's why your parent's kicked you out? Because you're gay and pregnant?" Ryou asked.

Yugi nodded.

"So that bastard Joey Wheeler is the father, huh?" Bakura said speaking up for the first time. Ryou glared at him.

"Bakura, you can't keep quiet for two minutes, can you?"

"Aw, come on, Ryou, I was just curious."

"Can't you see how upset Yugi is?"

"It -it's alright, Ryou. And yes, Bakura. He is."

"Damn. Whaddya goin' to do about it?"

"Nothing. Like I said, Joey has hurt me for the last time. He doesn't want me or this baby, that's his problem."

Bakura nodded, "He's an ass."

"Bakura, that's enough. Yugi, you're gonna need to come to the hospital and get checked out. You're probably gonna be given an ultrasound which shows you the baby and will help determine how far along you are."

Yugi nodded and the boys talked and watched TV 'til Yami came home. When Yami walked in the door he found Ryou and Yugi passed out on the couch and Bakura dozing in the chair. He locked the door behind him and removed his jacket. He walked over to Bakura and shook him. Bakura woke up instantly.

"I wasn't sleep. Hey, Yugi, get your paws off my boyfriend!"

Both Yugi and Ryou jumped awake. Yami punched Bakura in the arm.

"Not funny 'Kura."

"Yes, it was. Ryou, you ready to go?"

Ryou nodded and turned to Yugi, "If you come tomorrow I'm sure I can have someone check you out. And if you're scared or something, I'll be able to sit with you, so you have someone familiar."

"Thanks, Ryou."

"You're welcome, Yugi," Ryou said as Bakura dragged him out the house.

"Yami?" Yugi said as he walked to his bedroom. Yami followed.

"Yes, Yugi?"

"I'm sorry about earlier."

"Don't worry about it."

"Um, are you busy tomorrow?"

"I don't have class but I'm working at my dad's company from ten 'til about three. Why?"

"Because I was wondering if you'd go with me to the hospital. I don't wanna go by myself, but if not, it's okay. I mean Ryou will be there."

"I'll go with you. Now why don't you hit the sack?"

Yugi sat with Yami in one of the rooms at the hospital. Yugi looked as nervous as a scared bunny. Yami chuckled.

"Yugi, relax."

Just then a nurse came in the room, "Afternoon boys. Yugi Mutou, is it?"

Yugi nodded and the nurse continued, "I'm gonna need you to put this gown on. You can leave your pants on, but I need to be able to have access to your belly, okay?"

Yugi nodded again and the woman left the room. Yugi stood up and removed his shirt. Yami couldn't help staring. Damn it. So fucking cute.

"Yami?"

"Yeah?"

"Uh, you're staring at my chest."

"Oh, sorry."

Yugi shrugged and pulled on the gown just as the nurse and Ryou entered the room.

"Alright, Yugi hop up on the table and lay on your back," Ryou said.

Yugi did as he was told. The nurse opened his gown.

"I am gonna rub some of this gel on your belly. It might be a bit cold."

Yugi just nodded. The nurse put the gel on his belly and set up the machine so they can see the baby.

"Yugi, check that out. That's your baby," Yami said.

Yugi just nodded as tears fell down his cheek. The nurse and Ryou finished inspecting the baby.

"Well, it looks like everything is okay considering you were on the streets for three weeks," Ryou said.

"According to the ultrasound, you're one month pregnant which makes you're due date sometime around August," The nurse explained.

"One month! Are you sure?" Yugi asked.

The nurse nodded, "Yes."

"I don't understand. How could it be a whole month already?"

"Well, let's see, you were probably already pregnant for a week before you found out. You were then on the streets for three weeks, therefore equals a month," Ryou explained.

"Oh."

"I am gonna write you up a prescription for some prenatal vitamins and a referral for you to make an appointment with an obstetrician," The nurse said.

Yugi just nodded.

Yami and Yugi were sitting on the couch that evening watching a movie and eating popcorn. After the movie was over Yami got up to switch the television off. He sat back down next to Yugi and turned to him curling his leg underneath him.

"Yugi?"

Yugi turned to Yami, "Yes?"

"Tell me about yourself."

"What do you wanna know? I mean you know a great deal about me already while I absolutely know nothing about you."

Yami chuckled, "Alright then, let's play a game."

"What kinda game?"

"Simple, we each take turns asking each other questions until we can't think of anymore questions. One question each turn."

Yugi scooted back on the couch and curled his leg underneath him so he was facing Yami, "Okay. You first."

"Okay, I'll start with something simple. Do you have any siblings?"

Yugi shook his head, "No, just me and my parents. I'll ask the same."

"No, no siblings. When did you first realize you were gay?"

"Um, when I was eleven. I kissed a guy for a dare and found that I liked it. Why do you work at your father's company if he disowned you?"

"Well, because I wanna take over his company and make it better and also because I'm going to school for business and I needed a place to work. Next question, if you had stayed at home do you think you and your parents would have been able to make it work?"

Yugi shook his head, "No. My parents felt that by being gay I was disgracing them and I just made it worse by being pregnant. How come you don't have a boyfriend and did you ever?"

"Um, first of all, that's two questions, but I'll answer them both. No I never had a boyfriend. Well, not exactly. When I first started college, I had a crush on my roommate. He was very cute, but the problem was that I didn't know if he was gay or straight. As it turned out, he was straight and he thought it was funny when he found out I had a crush on him. I have never had a boyfriend because I haven't found the right guy yet. Alright, why did you date Joey Wheeler?"

Yugi blushed a little, "Well, Joey had always been my best friend ever since I could remember. We did everything together and one day I realized that I was thinking about him more and more and I noticed that I had a crush on my best friend. At first I wasn't gonna tell him because I didn't wanna ruin our friendship, but then I realized that I needed to be upfront and honest to him and myself. So I told him. He didn't laugh or anything he just told me that he felt the same about me and it kinda went from there."

"I see. What, no more questions?"

"Why did you decide to help me?"

"Because I hate seeing homeless children on the streets and because, um, I'm not sure what it was, but there was something that pulled me toward you."

Yugi snickered, "Really?"

"Don't laugh, it's not funny."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh."

Yami said nothing just kept staring into Yugi's eyes. Yugi stared back and swallowed. He leaned closer to Yami and very lightly placed a kiss on his lips. When Yami didn't do anything he kissed him again harder. Yami moaned and gently pushed Yugi away.

"Yugi…"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I don't know what came over me," Yugi said burying his face in his hands.

"Yugi, look at me."

Yugi kept his face in his hands and Yami gently peeled his hands away.

"Yugi, look at me. It's okay. Trust me, but Yugi, I'm not sure you want this."

"What makes you say that? How do you know what I want?" Yugi asked close to tears.

"Yugi, I'm ten years older than you."

"So? What's the problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, I guess. But we barely know each other."

"We just spent the last twenty minutes getting to know each other. I mean you asked me to stay with you. You don't think that we'll get a chance to know each other?"

"That's not it," Yami sighed.

"Then what's the problem, Yami? You don't want me, is that it?"

Yami sighed again, "Yugi…"

"It is it! You don't want me! You don't care about me!" Yugi yelled standing up.

Yami stood as well, "Yugi, calm down. I do care about you. Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to stay here with me."

"No, you just wanted someone to be here because you're so lonely. Don't try it, Yami. I know when people don't care about me," Yugi said running to his bedroom and slamming the door.

Yami sighed and sat back down on the couch. I do care about you, Yugi. The problem is I think I might be in love with you.

That night after Yami had finally gone to bed, Yugi opened his door and picked up his backpack and snuck out the house.
