3 Hate

Yugi lay awake late one night and glanced at the clock again. The neon green lights showed two sets of twelve's.

Yugi sighed and curled up around the blankets again, his body felt cold and alone. Yugi hated feeling alone and cold, as a Hikari he was drawn to warmth and company instinctively. Yugi listened to the quiet and whimpered slightly.

He needed to hear that sound, soon. That purr and hum that announced that he was home, Yami. Yugi closed his eyes again; he wanted to hear that, he had to hear that he was home safely.

Yami worked as a police officer, a detective who was called out infrequently, but he would often be gone for days. Yugi would always treasure the days he was here, he loved every second, and hated every lonely night. He hated waking up alone, or finding a note saying he was called out again.

He hated eating meals by himself and having to put Yami's in the cupboard if he got a call in the middle of eating. He hated that he'd have no one to say goodnight to, he hated that when Yami had to leave he'd be kissed on the forehead, cheek and lips with a promise to be back soon and that he'd be careful. Then he'd be gone and Yugi couldn't see him or make sure he was alright.

Once, Yugi remembered fearfully, he'd had to drive to the hospital in the middle of the night and see his lover and fiancé; he'd been shot in a stand off in a robbery-hostage situation. Many men told Yugi that Yami had been brave, but Yugi had said that he'd rather Yami was a coward and alive than brave and on the edge of death.

Yami had recovered, though Yugi always had nightmares about Yami like that. He hated that Yami was in danger. Yet he was proud of him too, Yugi was very proud that Yami was so selfless, and very proud that he was so brave, that he could achieve so much.

Yugi smiled to himself and missed the sound of the car. He turned and saw the neon lights, twelve and fifteen. Yugi sighed and rolled to face the wall, his sigh masked the sound of the lock and door.

The cool summer air only allowed Yugi to have a thin sheet over his thin and slender frame, otherwise he'd be too hot. The door was silently opened and a man with red eyes smiled as he saw the little body of his lover curled up in the white sheets.

The crimson eyed man silently stripped down to his boxers and padded over bare foot to the bedside. Yugi gasped as his sheet was moved and warm, strong arms curled around his body. Yami chuckled as Yugi jumped in his arms, then relaxed into his hold, and he finally turned to kiss his cheek.

"You're back" Yugi sighed happily, the sleep that had been denied of earlier was being given in full.

Yami chuckled and kissed under Yugi's ear "You know I hate it when you stay up late for me" he whispered to him.

Yugi smiled and struggled to stay awake "I hate it when I have to sleep alone"

Yami smiled as well before countering "I hate it when you give me the puppy eyes before I leave"

Yugi pouted "I hate it when you leave, I hate it when I'm alone… I hate being cold" he whispered with a shiver.

Yami pulled Yugi close with a look of concern, spooning him next to his body heat. Yami ran his hands over the soft skin of his precious lover, trying to warm him, he smiled as he remembered his good news "You don't have to be cold now, aibou. I'm not leaving you"

Yugi whimpered "Until they call you in again"

Yami nodded but whispered "I've requested a six month break, Yugi. We'll have all the time in the world, I promise I'm going to stay with you, every second. You won't have to hate until January" Yami's lips touched the weak point under Yugi's ear.

Yugi mewled and smiled slightly "That's nice…" and he slept.

Yami chuckled before turning Yugi's head towards him, and deeply kissed the sleepy mouth of his precious Hikari. "I hate it when you fall asleep on me, aibou, you'll have to make it up to me tomorrow" he teased while tucking them both in to be warmer.


Number 3 done! This was a hard one, I didn't really want to write a full out hate one, so I changed it a bit. Made Yami a sexy detective *drool* and Yugi his sweet little lover, so back off ladies, this man is off limits!
