Chapter 2
Not much was said during the drive to the restaurant. I could tell Yugi was deep into his thoughts because he kept blushing and smiling. I looked at the time and sighed in relief as we pulled up to the restaurant just in time. I couldn't handle another one Seto's speeches. I shut off the car and got out, making sure to beat Yugi so I could open his door for him.
"You're too good to me Yami" he said as he smiled and grabbed my hand.
"You deserve the best, so, it's only natural for me to give you my best." He smiled at my words and kissed my cheek before leading us inside.
We looked around a bit before we spotted Jou and Seto in the very back being all cute and cuddly. Honestly, It's weird seeing Seto like this. Seeing him smile. He always has the same cold look on his face. But tonight, he just tossed everything I knew about him out the window with that goofy grin on his face.
I shuddered lightly next to Yugi, indicating my repulsion. Yugi's silent chuckle pierced my ear and U turned to him with a pout. I hated when he teased me about Jou and Seto's relationship, but Ra how many puppies have they killed!? I'm surprised Jou is still alive sitting next to him like that.
I cleared my throat and Seto and Jou backed away and blushed a bit.
"Hey Guys! How are ya? Come on have a seat." Jou said excitedly, motioning for us to come sit down.
"We're great actually! We finally got our tree house finished!" Yugi said excitedly, sitting down in the booth and pulling me to sit next to him.
I smiled at his eagerness. Sometimes he is just too cute for his own good.
"What are you so smiley about?" Seto said, finally speaking up.
I coughed a bit and laughed nervously. "Oh nothing. It's just good to see both of you again" I said as I mentally slapped myself.
"So Jou, tell me how things are at the game shop? Classes going well? What about business?" Yugi asked, hoping for good news.
"Great! We are as busy as eva. Every day more and more people come to visit." Jou said as he smiled and grabbed Seto's hand. "I owe a big thank ya to you Yug." He started off, but was interrupted by the waitress.
"Good afternoon gentleman. My name is Lucy and I will be your server today. What can I get you all to drink?" The waitress said sweetly.
"Water for me… is that good for you too Yugi?" I asked my love and he nodded.
"Two waters, and what about you two?" Lucy said motioning to Seto and Jou.
"Water for us too." Seto said not bothering to look at her.
"Okay, I'll be right out with your drinks and take your orders alright?" She said before walking away.
We continued talking till she came back and handed us our drinks, took our orders and walked away again. It was really nice hanging out with friends again. We've just been so busy with the house, the tree house, our child's room. It's becoming quite stressful for the both of us… not to mention that we both work full time. I'm kind of starting to think that maybe that we aren't ready for a child…well, maybe I'M not ready. I don't know what we'd do… I don't want to tell Yugi because he'd be heartbroken and it would be MY fault… and I promised I would NEVER be the reason for his sadness again.
"Here are your orders gentlemen." Lucy said as she came back out with our meals. She handed us our dishes and asked if she could get us anything else but not before sending a flirty wink at Yugi.
"We are good thanks." I said rather harshly. She gave me a dirty look before walking away for the final time.
"Yami? Are you alright?" Yugi asked as he took my hand giving me the 'I know something is wrong so you better not lie to me' look.
"I'd rather not talk about that now Aibou." I said politely and patted his knee before turning my attention to my plate and started eating. There was a good few moments of silence before Yugi broke it.
"Jou…Seto… I'd like to ask you something." He started, not looking up at them.
"Sure go ahead." They both said in unison.
"Well, um, we've been thinking about adoption and we would really like your opinion about it." He asked and I dropped my fork.
"Excuse me please." I quickly said and got up to go to the bathroom.
I quickly rushed into the stall, locking the door behind me. 'Why am I all of a sudden freaking out over this? I've been wanting to adopt for a long time now and not once did I have this fear that I have now. Is it because I'm just not cut out or ready to be a father? Is it because I don't know how we'd be able to manage taking care of a child and working. I don't want to be scared over this. I want this more than anything. I want to finally have a family with Yugi… but… I don't understand why I'm feeling this way.'
"Yami?" I froze knowing it was Yugi standing outside the stall door.
I opened the stall door and stepped out with my head down. I couldn't bear to look at him. I knew he heard everything by the tone in his voice.
"Look at me." Yugi whole tone had changed. There was a hint of anger in his voice. I slowly lifted my head up to face him. Shame was written all over my face.
"Yami, I heard everything and im extremely upset with you at the moment. We will talk about this when we get back home. We are not doing this here do you understand me?" I nodded my head and he continued. "Now, we are going to go back out there, act like everything is okay, and have lunch with our friends okay?" I nodded once again before following him out of the restroom.
We made it back to the booth and sat back down. There was a very uncomfortable silence for a bit.
"Everything alright you guys?" Seto asked, noticing the strange silence.
"Of course!" Yugi said with a big smile and continued to eat, as did the rest of us.
"Anyway, Yugi, about your question w-"Jou was quickly cut off by Yugi.
"Never mind that. We can talk about that another time." Yugi said quickly.
We had all finished our meals and paid our tickets before saying our final goodbyes and leaving the restaurant. I held the door open for Yugi and also his car door as well. Not even a thank you. I knew he was upset but he could have at least thanked me.
"I know you are mad but you could at least say thank you." I said coldly before getting into the car, starting it, and began driving home.
'This is going to be a long trip home' I thought to myself.
The ride was awful. The tension in the car was too much for me to handle. Yugi's anger was growing. I don't even understand exactly why he was so mad in the first place. It made me mad that he was making such a big deal over this!
I sighed in a slight relief as we pulled up into the driveway and I shut off the car and quickly got out and went around to open Yugi's door him.
"Thank you." He said before walking inside and I followed closely behind.
I went and sat down on the couch and Yugi sat next to me and turned his body so he was facing me.
"Yami, first off, why would you even doubt your abilities as a father? You will make a WONDERFUL father. I have no doubt about that. Second, we will handle the working situation when the times comes. Third, I understand the feeling of being frightened, but that's not stopping me from wanting to adopt because I know I have you and I have your support. Fourth, I overreacted and im very sorry. I was just upset because you didn't tell me. I really wished you would have just told me when you first felt this way. I wouldn't have been upset. Yami, if you really want to hold off on adoption then that's perfectly okay." Yugi finished with a smile and kissed my lips softly and hugged me.
"Aibou, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I was just afraid you would be sad and hurt and I vowed to never be the reason for your unhappiness ever again… and the slightest thought of you being upset because of me broke my heart. I've caused you great sadness and I never want you to be unhappy because of me ever again. That's why I didn't want to tell you. I'm so sorry Aibou. Please forgive me." I asked as I wrapped my arms around his waist tighter and pulled him to my lap.
"All is forgiven Mou Hitori No Boku… now… you still going to keep your promise? Your promise where I get to do WHATEVER I want with you." Yugi asked with a seductive grin.
"Of Course Aibou. I'm all yours."
