Yami`s Pov
"Yugi?" I knock on the door but I only got the sound of crying in response. I walked downstairs to find Atem stood in the living room
"Do you know what`s wrong with Yugi?" he shook his head
"No but can you tell me why your phone was off or why yours and Yugi`s link was closed?" I shook my head
"No I hadn`t even realised."
"I found this note in Yugi's room earlier, Yami did you have somewhere you need to be at 7:00 tonight?" it suddenly clicked in my mind and I ran back up stair and knock on Yugi`s door
"Yugi open the door! Please Yugi, I`m sorry…just open the door please." I heard the door unlock before it opened and I was hit in the face with something before the door closed again. I looked down at what Yugi had thrown at me to see the Kuriboh plush I had given him for his birthday. I sighed
"Yugi please, I am really sorry, I didn`t realise the link was closed and my phone must have died but I am sorry Yugi I was doing homework and I didn`t realise the time until a few minutes ago… please open the door."
"Just leave me alone!" I sighed but granted his wish by walking into my own room, I laid down on the bed and placing the puzzle around my neck. I then entered my soul room which had become a lot brighter over the past few years. I walked out of my soul room and over to Yugi`s door which was open like normal. I looked inside to see Yugi face down on his bed crying, I sighed and walked inside before sitting on the bed and pulling him into my lap causing him to struggle but I kept a good hold on him till he calmed down a few minutes later
"W-why are you here?" he asked me
"Because you wouldn`t open your door so I couldn`t talk to you out there."
"You`re the cause of this in the first place!"
"I know Yugi believe me I do, but I have a good reason."
"You told me you were doing homework."
"I said that because Heba was listening."
"T-then what`s the truth?"
"The truth is Tea wouldn`t stop calling me and I was just waiting for the time that I would meet you in the park, but I fell asleep and in the process the link turned off by the time I woke up it was too late and I didn`t I hadn`t looked at the clock until Atemu asked if I had to be somewhere to be at 7:00... I am so; so sorry Yugi, if I could go back in time would but I assure you it wasn't intentional." There was a few minutes of silence and sobs
"I-I believe you." I smiled and drew him closer to me
"Thank you Yugi and I will make it up to you."
"Seto said I had to tell you something important tonight while we were at the park."
"Well you can still tell me now can`t you?" he shook his head
"I`m not sure I can."
"Why not?"
"I wasn`t even sure I could do I before."
"What have I told you about not having confidence in yourself?"
"That I should have confidence in myself and I shouldn`t put myself down."
"Exactly, so why are you doubting whether or not you can tell me?"
"I just can't!" then he disappeared from his soul room
"Yugi!" I sighed before disappearing myself and waking up in my bedroom, I looked at the clock to see it was 7:45
"Damn it!" I jumped up and quickly got changed before running down stairs
"Ah, Yami is Yugi still up in his room?" Grandpa asked
"I don`t know, what day is it?"
"Thursday, but I called in sick for both you and Yugi."
"Why?"
"Well, you are sick of Tea, and Yugi doesn`t need to go to school today after what happened last night." I looked to the ground in shame
"I explained to him what had happened, but I feel like he`s hiding something from me."
"I want you to reconnect with him Yami, ever since you started to date Tea you two have become distant."
"I know, I want to spend more time with him but every time I get close Tea pulls me away, I don`t even want to be with her I never have."
"Because?"
"I love Yugi, but I fear that he`ll reject me and Tea found out about that and is now using it against me."
