I'm so glad that I'm writing in this story again ^.^ Anyway, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 8: Confrontation and a Challenge
As the class continued, I laid my head down on my desk, trying my best to avoid Yami's eyes. I had never, ever been so embarrassed in my entire life. In actuality, I was never going to tell Yami how I felt about him; I was just going to let him stay with Anzu and I would suffer in a heartbreaking agony. But the words just slipped out of my mouth… sorry, thoughts, and he finally knew the truth.
Yami was even rubbing it in. He kept of turning around to sneak glances at me and when I was looking he would smirk. The bastard was never going to let that go, right?
Anyway, as the final school bell rang, I dashed out of the classroom at record speed. I practically ran through the school to get out and yet somehow Yami beat me to the front gates. He smiled at me as I approached and my face began to flush.
As soon as I reached him Yami said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, aibou."
I glared at him but didn't respond. His smile grew and I felt myself blushing harder. We quickly left the school and began to make our way home.
On, the walk home, I refused to meet Yami's eyes so I stared at the ground the entire time. Despite that, I could still feel Yami looking at me every now and then. His stares made my face turn red, as if it could get any redder.
Once we arrived at the Game Shop, I suddenly remembered my evil scheme. I stopped walking and Yami stood next to me. Oh, man, he was going to hate me forever once Grandpa got a hold of him. I just hope Grandpa won't be too harsh on my darkness, and again, an impossible dream.
Nevertheless, I felt obligated to tell Yami. "Uh, hey, Yami?"
"What is it, Yuugi?" Yami asked.
"Uh, well…um…. What did you guys do in my room last night?"
Yami's face instantly turned red and I had never seen him blush before. To be honest, he looked sexy, not like he didn't already.
"Uh, Yuugi," Yami said, "what we did last night was an accident. To be honest, I really didn't want to do it with her, especially not in your room; I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry, aibou."
So it really was true, I tried to tell myself that it was a lie but I guess not. After thinking about it for a moment, fear arose within me and I couldn't help but ask, "So you bang hard enough to wreck a room?"
Yami just stared at me and I said, "What? It was just a question."
He turned his head away and blushed again. "It was her idea."
"Yeah well you're going to get in trouble for it though."
I told Yami about my little plan of getting him and Anzu into trouble. Yami looked calm and collected as I explained my plot, but I could tell that he wasn't pleased. Hell, I wouldn't be either.
"So, what you're saying is that once I walk into the house Grandpa's gonna kill me?"
"Yeah, pretty much," I replied.
"Well, wish me luck then," Yami said simply and turned and walked into the Game Shop. I stared after him in surprise but eventually followed him.
As I stepped into the shop, I expected to hear Grandpa's loud yelling. Instead, the house was silent, never a good thing. I tried to move silently through the house to my room, but as soon as I stepped into the kitchen I found Yami and Grandpa waiting for me.
"Yuugi, take a seat." Grandpa gestured to the empty seat next to Yami.
"Uh, what did I do, now?" I asked and sat down.
Grandpa let out a weary sigh and Yami and I exchanged looks. "Okay, Yuugi I read you note. "I cringed and Yami glanced at me. "I read your note," Grandpa continued, " and what you and Anzu did, Yami, is completely unacceptable. I've already talked to Anzu's parents and they said that they would talk to her as well. Yami I am so ashamed of you."
"I'm sorry," Yami apologized and lowered his head.
"Anyway, that aside," Grandpa turned and looked at me. "Yuugi, do you want to tell me what's going on between you two?"
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. "What do you mean?"
"Is there something between you and Yami?"
I felt my face immediately turn red. I looked away from Grandpa's questioning eyes. "Uh…"
"Actually," Yami began and I turned to look at him. "Yuugi has always been in love with me. I never noticed it before, but right after I decided to go out with Anzu it became extremely clear. But I couldn't do anything because I didn't want to hurt Anzu. However, over the past six months I noticed how horrible Anzu really is and how much I was hurting Yuugi. But again, I didn't want to hurt Anzu and I tried to find a way to protect them both. I didn't realize until last night the true extent of Anzu's selfishness and she made me realize how much I want Yuugi. She made me realize how much I love him."
I'm sorry it's taken me a while to update, I've been up to my neck in schoolwork :P Anyway don't forget to R&R!
