Please enjoy!

Yugi and Yami spend the rest of the night alone, in a battle of emotions and tensions. Who will cave? Will any of them have a chance to make it through the night? Just read to find out what these two best friends discover about each other and themselves.

I Got You

After Yugi had fallen asleep Yami only held him. Soon they were both sleeping on the couch, the smaller in the other's arms. Shifting in his sleep, Yugi only held Yami closer snuggling his chest. Yami had felt this and immediately woke from his sleep. Only to calm down after seeing his friend's cute expression. The younger teen seemed happy in his sleep.

Yami deciding it would be a good idea to head to the store for some medicine, once again settled the teen in the opposite corner of the couch. The drug store closed around eight, and it was only six thirty. He grabbed the keys that had been on the table and stepped out only for a little while.

'If I didn't know any better I'd say he's falling for me and hasn't noticed yet.' Yami thought to himself. 'I've only flirted with him.. what, all day.' he laughed. He'd been trying to romance his friend for a while now. Ever since he realized that he had been crushing on the younger teen, things had gotten worse. He could barely keep compliments to himself and he was more eager to occupy the other's time. Yami knew Yugi was starting to notice the difference in his behavior, but it only surprised him more how easily he excepted it. Now not to confuse anyone, the small teen was very stubborn and self-conscious. As true as that was, he seemed to easily except the new-found closeness of their relationship. Yami on the other hand tried with all his power not to cross the borderline between the two kinds of relationships. But that didn't mean he wouldn't take down the wall between them. 'Did he really think he could just hide those pajamas from me? That I was never allowed to see them on his small and petite body?' Yami cursed in his head, he'd taken a mental image from memory but he wished for an actual picture.

After a short walk Yami had finally made it to the drug store. He headed to the aisle with the fever medicine. Yugi hadn't started coughing or sneezing yet, but he would be prepared none the less. He picked up a couple. Throat and cough, along with pain killers for the headache he knew his friend would have later on. He then made a mental note that he should stop off at the convenience store on his way back. Yami headed to the checkout counter and paid for his items saying "Thank you." to the pharmacists with a kind smile. He left the store and head back down the path he came.

Stopping in the convenience store he picked up a few items. Cough drops, some tea, honey, and lemon. 'If this doesn't make him fall in love with me I don't know what else is there.' Yami sighed mentally. He didn't know it would be this difficult to get the shy teen to reciprocate his feelings. At this rate Yami would end up spilling his heart out. But he refused, he had already made his decision to charm his best friend into loving him. It wasn't a secret that Yugi loved Yami the most out of all his friends, but it was a secret that Yami had a crush on him.

Yami paid for his items and waved goodbye to the clerk at the counter. He made his way back to his friend's house hoping he hadn't woken up yet. It had only been thirty minutes. As Yami put the key in the door to unlock it, he composed himself. Stepping inside he found a frantic Yugi. Cringing, Yami sweat dropped as Yugi's eyes darted towards him.

"As long as your sick, I'll be by your side?" Yugi said quoting his friend's earlier statement, only now it sounded more like a question. Yugi's face was that of an upset child.

"I brought you medicine.." Yami said, ready to give a list of reasons for his absence. He carried an apologetic expression .

"I woke up and you were gone!" the teen spoke, his voice cracking a bit. He turned to face the opposite direction as his head began to hang.

"I'm sorry Aibou.." Yami said sadly as he approached his friend from behind. Sounds getting louder as he got close. "I stepped out to get a few things that would help your fever. I didn't mean to scare you." he spoke in a soft tone. He wrapped his arms around his friend in a gentle hug, feeling his sad shiver inside the embrace.

"I know.." Yugi whimpered as he felt Yami's arms around him. "I.. j-just... didn't se..see you." he stuttered, tears falling from his eyes. He didn't mean to cry, but it was so easy in front of the person he trusted. The embrace was so warm and safe. He knew he was overreacting, but his fear seemed to overtake him when he woke up and realized he was alone.

"As long as I exist... you will not be alone. I'm always here." Yami said calming the young teen. He turned his friend around and pulled him into himself. As Yugi calmed down he broke away and continued to speak.

"Here, take your medicine." he said in authority. Yugi's head then popped up. Backing away he held his hands in front of his body defensively.

"What kind is that..?" he spoke in a whisper, eying his friend.

"It doesn't matter... you're going to swallow it, Aibou." Yami replied keeping his tone strong.

"I don't want to. Thanks." Yugi said as he eagerly moved from his spot behind the couch.

"Oh.. but you will even if you don't want to Aibou." Yami retorted, with a calm look as if he knew what would happen.

"No! Don't, Aibou me.. Screw your medicine." Yugi fought back, as weak as he knew he sounded.

Yami felt something inside him twitch as he heard those words. 'Don't, Aibou me..' he repeated in his mind. 'Oh really.. ?'

"Your going to take this medicine whether you like it.. or not." Yami said his voice now demanding, this was definitely an order. His eye twitched and he smirked just a little. His friend seemed to be challenging his authority as his care taker. He would assert himself the same as he always has, and that never failed to shake his friend up.

"B-but... it taste horrible!" Yugi choked. He was scared. Yami only spoke to him like that when he was really irritated.

Even though earlier, Yugi had been the one upset and his friend seemed to carry an apologetic attitude toward him, now the story was different. The young teen had said something to upset his friend. Yami's demeanor had changed to that of someone who wouldn't back down. His calm attitude had been broken with a single statement. For a moment, it wasn't about the medicine. Yugi had poked a nerve. Seeming to unwelcome his older counterpart's endearing name for that of the first time.

"I don't care.." Yami hissed through a smile. He was clearly annoyed. At this rate Yugi decided it was best to give up all together. He was scared of the taste of that horrible medicine, but even worse he was afraid Yami was growing impatient with his evasiveness. Yugi smiled nervously walking towards him.

"Oh.. k-kay." Yugi said, his head down and voice stuttering. He looked up glancing at the older teen. Yami only smiled putting the spoon he had gotten during their conversation in Yugi's mouth. The teen cringed at the taste in his mouth. He dreaded it more than anything, but not more than Yami being upset with him.

When the argument ended there was complete silence. Yami only sighed mentally at how he had been maybe too aggressive with his Aibou. It wasn't like him to lose his cool over something so innocent that the other did. Yugi had never liked taking his medicine, so that wasn't the problem. Yami knew this yet those simple defensive words took him by surprise. That was his Aibou whether he liked it or not. But he'd rather him like it.

"I'll run your bath for you." Yami spoke more calm now. That was his way of earning back the teen's affection. Yugi knew he was annoyed, and continued to oblique by his orders. Yami always cared for Yugi, and did what was best for him even if the young teen didn't like it. As much as Yugi hated it, he loved having someone who made decisions that were best for him. If he were in trouble, Yami would get him out.

"Mhmm." was all Yugi replied. He followed Yami up the stairs to the bathroom that was closest to his room. This wasn't the first time Yami had run his bath, for him it was normal. Yami plugged the tub and before anything reached for a basket.

A while back for Christmas, Yami had gotten the teen a set of assorted bath bubbles. There were different scents for Yugi to always choose from, but Yami noticed the soap was always at the same level when he would come back. It was clear that Yugi only used it when Yami came around. He thought it was cute but never really questioned him about.

"What scent would you like tonight?" Yami asked his friend with an admirable smile. He was leaking happiness when he looked in Yugi's direction. The teen only blushed nervously.

"The Strawberry Shortcake." he spoke in a soft smile, with his hands behind his back. Yugi could tell Yami wasn't upset with him anymore. He was happy but still pondering the conversation in his head to remember what he had said to upset him in that very moment. He wanted to apologize properly.

"Okay, Strawberry Shortcake it is." Yami said reaching for the bath soap that Yugi wanted and pouring it into the running water. He stood up and faced his friend. As Yugi walked to his room to fetch his new pjs that he'd wear once he got out, an arm stopped him in his tracks.

"I'm not sorry for caring about you, but I am for losing my temper Yugi." he said, his hands now on both sides of the teen up against the wall. He was looking into his eyes searching for forgiveness, hoping it was their.

"We're always on the same team.. I worry about you as if.. as if it were my self." he continued his eyes never leaving his best friend's. Suddenly, it was clear. Yugi's eyes widened when he finally realized what had bothered his counterpart. He breathed in before finally speaking.

"I'm sorry... M-mo.. Hitori.. N-no b-boku..." Yugi spoke in a shy tone. Nervous and a bit blunt. He'd spoken so fast that the other almost didn't catch what he said. The teen's eyes drifted down as a blush appeared across his face. Yami watched him, stared as his friend's body tensed up against the bathroom wall.

'This is not the time to break..' Yami thought to himself. Of course right away Yami realized what the young teen was doing. He had figured it out, he knew why his temper had risen to such a level. Yami had been calling Yugi by this endearing nickname for almost a year and not once did he ever object, nor refuse it. In plain words, it pissed the older teen off. His feelings were subtle, but still they were his feelings. It wasn't easy for the older of the two, to even speak his feelings when faced with the possibility of scaring his younger counterpart. So imagine how it felt when Yugi choose this moment to give him a suitable name of his own

"Mo hi-hitori no.. boku.. I'm really sorry."

Yami breathed. He knew his friend, and just as hard as it was for himself to speak his feelings it was harder on the other. The difference between them was that of emotions. Yami was never afraid to speak his mind, that wasn't his problem. He wasn't really big on regular presentation and found joy in keeping his affections for special occasions. Yugi on the other hand lacked confidence. Even the smallest of gestures took him a lot of courage to convey. Yami knew this. 'He's apologizing and trying to reciprocate my feelings...' Yami sighed to himself.

"Aibou, don't be sorry. Your too cute when your sorry." Yami finally spoke after staring at the teen for so long. His voice was calm and pleasantly cheerful in a way Yugi had never noticed before now. Yugi blushed at his comment.

"I will take my medicine." Yugi continued his eyes shifting to see his friend as close as they were.

"Thank you... Hikari." Yami spoke their faces only inches apart. Yugi blushed his face more red than just his fever. He laughed nervously with darting eyes to the floor. Yami had basically asked him to except yet another nickname, only this time it felt heavier. He knew there was more to this than the name before. He could feel it while his friend stared in his direction.

"Can I have some ice cream...?" Yugi said in his small voice choosing to except his new name rather than complain about how embarrassed it made him feel. Yami knew this and only answered with a nagging response.

"You know you are sick right? Cold ice cream is not gonna sweat away your fever." he said dropping his arms. He only sighed smiling in his head. "Strawberry, right? " he continued leaving the bathroom.

Yugi only smiled bright and red. As nervous as he was, he was more happy that his best friend wasn't so upset with him anymore. He knew he would quickly get used to his new nickname. It might have been embarrassing but the only embarrassing part was that he liked it. Yami wasn't just anyone to him, he was his favorite person. Being given a nickname by him was not only flattering but a secret honor that only he knew.

"Bathe first!" Yami called down the hall before actually making it down the stairs.

The young teen continued to his room only to get a new pair of pajamas. He made his way back to the bathroom stripping himself of his clothes and stepping into the tub. The water was warm and perfect, just how Yugi loved it. He sat down and sighed in relief. His relationship with his best friend had been slightly different for the past year. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but he felt as though their bond had become stronger. Like every word they exchanged had a subconscious meaning. As though they were talking in code and the levels of emotions showed through.

'When did we get so tense...?' Yugi thought to himself as he sat in the tub, he scrubbed his arms with his purple loofah. 'He looks at me with those burning eyes. Its like we're attached at the mind.' Yugi continued to ponder over his emotions. There was more to his friendship with Yami than he had previously thought.

Downstairs, Yami had sat at the kitchen table. He cursed himself for the night's earlier events. 'You can't just get mad at the small things!' he yelled in his mind. 'Yugi doesn't know you like him that way... I guess this kinda helped though.' he thought thankfully at his previous actions. Yugi had given him his own endearing nickname as well. He knew that was Yugi's way of apologizing and acknowledging his feelings.

The young teen wasn't stupid, he knew that if he wanted Yami to hear his apology and forgive him, he would have to make it count. He chose that phrase after hearing Yami tell him he cared about him like he cared about himself. It wasn't a surprise to Yugi, Yami had always been like that with him. But that moment, it hit him. Yami didn't just care for him as if it were himself, he cared for him like he was Yugi. Yami had always been Yugi's other self.

'He likes me.. I know he does... I can feel it.' Yami thought as he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. His thoughts were silenced.

"I'm finished." Yugi smiled as he came down the flight of steps, he wore a plaid blue pajama set that buttoned down the front.

Yami got up from his seat at the table and opened the freezer where he took out the ice cream and transferred some into a bowl for his patient.

"Cute." Yami said handing his secret crush the bowl of ice cream. He would never tell, unless Yugi confessed first. That was always his plan from the beginning. Yugi only blushed at the compliment. Eating his ice cream quietly the small teen smiled before finally speaking.

"Thanks." was all he could think of without feeling shy or embarrassed.

"Mo hitori no boku?" Yugi spoke his new endearment easily. He looked towards his counterpart.

"Yes Aibou." Yami smiled at how easily those words could escape his friend's lips, especially in a such short time.

"I don't know what it is, but somehow... when we speak, I feel like there's more.. more that we're not saying." Yugi responded with only a smlile. Yami froze for a moment. He knew that Yugi was slowly but surely figuring out his own feelings including the feelings of his older counterpart. He was amazed at what a simple apology could do for his progress in the relationship with the small teen.

"Sometimes, I feel like that too." he replied. Yami was calm and content.

"When I find out what that, is.. I hope I know how to say it." Yugi continued eating his ice cream. He was cheerful and bubbly as normal.

"Nothing would make me happier, than to listen Aibou." Yami said now smiling at his friend. He could tell the teen wasn't shy or scared, but open to the idea that their was more to their relationship. And nothing made him happier.

When Yugi finally finished his bowl of ice cream he stood up to wash it at the sink. He finished his task and walked over to his best friend.

"I know." he smiled back grabbing his arm. It was eight thirty and he was ready to relax for the rest of the night, no fights or concerned friends just a quite relaxing night.

The two teens entered the family room and sat on the couch. Yugi was the first to speak.

"So how was school today?" he asked wondering what happened on the last day while he wasn't there.

"Nothing really. It was pretty boring without you." Yami simply replied. Yugi cringed.

"Does everything you say always have to be so embarrassing?" he retorted.

"Well.. if the truth is embarrassing, then I'm sorry but you could have asked a different question." was all Yami said.

"What the hell... if I ask a different question I won't find my answer..." Yugi said in irritation.

"What does that matter you don't like the answer anyhow." the older responded.

"Maybe you 'should' get out." Yugi replied lazily. Yami laughed

"Now why would I do that, I can't leave my Aibou alone. Who knows what'll happen to him? Besides I promised, not to leave your side." Yami said remembering his friend's anger from earlier. Yugi had to admit, he did have a point. Yami's smart ass comments were beginning to annoy him.

"You know.. your really annoying when your right.." Yugi responded. Well, annoyed.

"Thank you Hikari." Yami smiled. To only worsen his irritation.

The duo decided this conversation was going nowhere and only looked at each other.

"So, I feel like if I had to be stuck with anyone... it'd be you. And not to sound overly confident, but I think you'd pick me too." Yugi said leaning back on the couch. It was a random statement that he spoke for no particular reason.

"Well, that you'd be right about. I would always choose you." Yami said only watching him. "I'm glad you would choose me too."

"Yeah, well if I was falling out the window... you'd run downstairs to catch me." Yugi said bluntly. Yami only laughed at his statement.

"That is very true." he admitted.

Yugi laid his head on Yami's shoulder. Smiling, he thought back to his time in the bath. 'So.. this is a crush.' he thought to himself. 'I am fully.. totally crushing on Yami Sennen. My best friend is apparently my type.." he continued, thinking of the qualities that attracted him to the older teen. 'He's smart.. and protective. He knows what I'm thinking without me actually saying it. Yami cared about me more than anyone else I knew to the point that it drove me crazy. I can't admit that I like that especially in front of other people. ' Yugi laughed in his mind. 'I can't believe I didn't see this before.. he's so perfect, yet I never calculated any of this into an actual relationship.' he screamed mentally. He had never seen Yami as a romantic interest till that very night. It was now clear why everything he had said to his friend had so much energy and emotion in it. He had a crush on him before he himself even knew about it.

Yami was kind, attractive and patient. There was not one guy or girl at school who wouldn't want to date him. Yugi was only just realizing that Yami had never really had a serious relationship, that he was mostly by his side. Thinking he needed a reason to keep him around, he thought 'I don't want anyone to take my place.' so he made a plan.

The older teen would be his no matter what. Just as soon as he found out how to make him his. He would eventually confess even if it killed him. He just hoped he wasn't alone in his feelings. He didn't think Yami would laugh or push his feelings aside, but something about spilling his emotions to his dark half gave him nightmares. Yami wasn't mean or anything, but people would see his demeanor as that of a loner and his humor wasn't all that bright. Of course his name was partly a description of his personality. Mostly Yugi would see the best qualities of his counterpart, mainly because he seemed weak and self-conscious to the point that the other felt an obligation to protect him.

Yami's mind wasn't quiet either. He thought long and hard about his conversation with his Aibou. Yugi was cute and determined, with a cheerful attitude towards life. Yami loved that about him. No one could replace him in his heart. At times when he was upset Yugi seemed to calm him down with ease. It was a wonder Yami never really ran out of patience, he always had enough for his Hikari. 'I think he's realized that we go well together.' Yami thought. Yugi was quiet for a while. They hadn't spoken only silence.

'If words could explain how much this moment irritates me, there wouldn't be enough!' Yami laughed as he thought of the situation. Yami wanted to grab the young teen and smother him in kisses. Only he knew that wasn't part of his strategy. Yami wanted Yugi to come after him. To realize what he meant to the other. It excited him that his Aibou, innocent and adorable Hikari could harbor feelings of a romantic nature. Yami only knew Yugi as a friendly face but hopefully soon, he'd know a more passionate side. He had fantasized about those soft lips for as long as he could imagine. Yugi was a love worth waiting for, their bond gave him hope that there was more to their relationship.

Both thinking immensely, they slowly fell asleep next to each other on the couch. Yugi's face red from his fever and Yami's pale ivory. As their breathing got heavier the night slowly faded. The teens soundly asleep.
