"Yug'! ...Come on pal answer me! ...Yug'!" Joey called. It was now dinner time and Yugi hadn't shown up anywhere. He didn't return to school so Yami took Yugi's stuff home for him, with his own help. The two had hoped to find their small friend there but Solomon Moto said he hadn't seen Yugi since he left for school.
After searching the place and waiting for a few hours, Yami called the gang to see if anyone had seen him, and when they answered no, they came over to help search for him. Joey had volunteered to run to and search the park for his little buddy, but so far he was having no luck. Thank God its summer time so it's still light that's all I can say.
"Hey Yug'! Come on!" Joey called again as he kept walking around.
Finally, Joey spotted a bundle under a tree. Rushing over, he saw Yugi curled up asleep with tear stains down his face. "Yug'." Joey said softly. With a sigh, Joey scooped up the sleeping teen and carried him out of the park.
Yugi woke slowly with a grown, he was warm but his eyes felt sour, his throat was dry, his head was throbbing. The boy frowned in confusion when he realised the sheets weren't his and the room was familiar, but was also not his. Sitting up, Yugi realised that it was Joey's room in his apartment. Yugi got up, stopping at the room door to listen.
"Yeah Tea he's fine...I found 'im sleeping and that's what he's doin' now...Yeah I'll call ya when he wakes up. 'Kay I'll see ya later." Yugi opened the door as Joey hung up. "Oh good your awake. 'Cause that mean's I've now gotta call everyone and tell 'em your awake." Yugi chucked at his friends teasing.
"It's not my fault you lot worry too much. What's wrong with skipping out on a free period to run to the park and chill for a while?" Yugi said emotionlessly.
"Nothin', except you didn't tell anyone whatcha were doin', where you were goin' or how long you'd be." Joey listed.
"Ok fair point." Yugi sighed, collapsing onto the sofa.
"So what happened anyway? Why'd ya run off like that?" Yugi hung his head and stayed silent. "You know, you had us all worried, and Yami was beside himself, blamin' himself sayin' he'd upset you." Yugi flinched at that.
"...I've fallen for him Joey...and...and now he's leaving." Yugi replied in a small voice, more tears falling.
Joey sighed and smiled sadly. "I guessed as much, that's why I brought you back to mine after I found you, not back to Gramps." Yugi looked up at Joey, tears running freely down his face.
"What do I do Joey? I have this pain in my chest and it hurts so much it feels like it's going to kill me!"
The blond sighed, having no answer to Yugi's plea, sitting beside his best friend and putting an around his shoulders in comfort. Yugi sniffed, resting his head on Joey's shoulder.
"Tell 'im." Joey suddenly said.
"What? Tell him?" Yugi asked in confusion, sitting up and pulling away slightly so he could look at his friend.
"Look, I think he likes ya to, so if you tell 'im how you feel then he can talk to his parents and maybe stay. And even if he doesn't, he's leaving anyway so ya may not see 'im for a while so ya don't have to be embarrassed." Yugi nodded, seeing Joey's logic.
"But...how can I tell him? I can't just come out with it!" Yugi complained.
"Why not? If ya don't try then ya defiantly gonna loose him, whereas if ya try, ya just might be surprised."
Yugi bit his lip.
An hour later, Joey was finishing calling their friends and Yugi's grandfather so they didn't have to worry about him. The blond managed to convince most of Yugi's story, that he hadn't been thinking and just wanted to run and some time alone. The only ones who didn't buy the story were Tea, Anza and Yami. Yugi was making dinner for the two, Gramps had agreed to let Yugi sleep at Joey's for the night, though Yami didn't sound too pleased.
"When does he leave?" Yugi asked suddenly after a long pause of silence.
Joey caught on immediately. "Not sure bud." Yugi gulped.
"He said that he was spending tomorrow on packing so he'd be ready to leave..." Yugi said thoughtfully.
"Tomorrow night then?" Joey suggested.
"Maybe..."
"I think Tea and Anza know, want me ta call 'em?" Yugi simply nodded, so Joey picked up the phone again and dialled the number. A few moments later, Joey hung up with a sigh. "Yeah, tomorrow night but they're not sure on what time. Said Yami said his plane leaves around 7-ish." Yugi sighed. "So whatcha gonna do bud?"
"...I have no idea."
Yugi barely slept that night. Though the sofa was soft and rather cosy and his blankets kept him warm Yugi found himself tossing and turning all night. He didn't sleep until the early morning and woke around lunch time.
Sitting up, the boy stared ahead of him for what felt forever, his head spinning, heart in his throat from nerves and fear. Biting his lip, he grabbed his cloths and made his way to the bathroom for a short shower and to get dressed.
Clean and ready, Yugi slowly walked out of the bathroom, freezing when he was opposite the front door. The boy stood there in the middle of Joey's living room, the blond teen snoring away in his room, Yugi not knowing how long he stood there staring at the apartment door. Without warning, he took off as if his body was moving on its own, opening and shutting the apartment door as fast as he could, and then taking off down the apartment stares with careful speed so as not to trip, then going all out as he reached the street.
His Heart thundered through his chest and adrenaline buzzing through his veins to make him run faster than he ever had before. I can't let him go, Joey's right, I need to tell him!
Yami's eyes diverted from his packing back to the room door. With a sigh, Yami dropped onto the edge of Yugi's bed, hanging his head and running his hand through his hair. The teen had been having a hard time since that lunch, feeling guilt and pain at Yugi's reaction.
I wish you were here Yugi. I wish I knew why you acted like that. I wish... Yami took an unsteady breath.
The teen looked up when the door burst open suddenly. Yami stood when he saw that Yugi stood there in the doorway, panting heavily, gasping as he stared back at him.
"Y-Yugi?" Yami felt his cheeks tingle with heat as he stuttered. Yugi pushed off from the doorway to stand in front of him, lifting his hand to brush his pointing finger under Yami's eye. Blinking, Yami realised that his tears that he'd been fighting had indeed leaked out. Yugi and Yami stared at each other in silence; time seemed to stop as they stared into each other's eyes.
"You're crying?" Yugi asked his voice soft with little emotion so Yami couldn't tell how the boy was feeling.
"I've been worried about you." Yami said, taking a small step towards the smaller. "So what happened? Why did you react like that? And where did you go?"
Yugi sighed, looking down and stepping slowly away to stand by the window. "I ran all the way to the park."
Yami gave a low whistle. "Wow, now that's a run." Yugi shivered when he felt Yami standing right behind him. "But you did answer my other questions."
Yugi took a deep breath before letting it out in a huff. "I was upset. Yami," Yugi turned his head to look at the taller. "I don't want you to go."
"Why?" Yami asked, his voice so soft it came out as a whisper.
Yugi dropped his head, gulped, took a large, loud, nervous breath, squeezed his eyes shut before suddenly going up on his tip toes to press his lips to Yami's. Yami's eyes widened to their fullest in shock and before he could snap himself out of his astonishment to enjoy the moment, Yugi pulled away with bright red cheeks.
"Because I like you. You've been there for me when I've needed you the most and helped to make me strong. Yami..." Yugi's voice grew unsteady as he looked up at the taller, his eyes watering. "I need you, I've fallen for you and that's why I was so upset yesterday, because the idea of loosing you was too much!"
"Yugi," Yami smiled softly, feeling his own eyes water slightly, taking Yugi's face into his hands to draw the boy closer to him. "You are mistaken, you do not need me."
Yugi stared at Yami, his eyes overflowing at last and a painful sob racked through his body. "I know how I feel about you Yami!" Yugi replied sharply, hurt and angry by the comment. "Do you not understand? I love yo-"
It was Yugi's turn to still in shock as Yami leaned down and suddenly pressed his lips to his own in a fiercer kiss than their last one. Yami pulled away after a while to see Yugi's eyes overflowing with tears and glowing with confusion.
"As I was saying, you're wrong. You said it yourself, you're strong now, and you don't need me." Yami rested his forehead against Yugi's. "There's a difference between needing someone and then wanting someone Yugi." Yami smiled widely. "It makes me happy to know you feel the same way for me as I feel for you."
Yugi let Yami's words sink in, his lips slowly pulling into a wide smile, cheeks tingling with heat. "Y-y-you feel the same? For how long?"
It was Yami's turn to blush. "Err...for about 4 or 5 weeks now..." Yugi giggled happily, wrapping his arms around Yami's neck.
"All that time...and you never said anything."
Yami shrugged, wrapping his own arms around Yugi's waist. "You were with that idiot and I wanted you to be happy." Yugi's face fell slightly, hanging his head.
"I-I-I guess you still have to go." He mumbled, biting his lips hard to stop from sobbing again.
Yami hummed in thought for a moment, Yugi blushing when he felt Yami kissing his neck and jaw line. "Well...I suppose I could accidently miss my flight...and call my father telling him I want to stay...I am 17 after all." Yugi smiled, closing his eyes to enjoy the moment in Yami's arms as the taller kissed him tenderly, his heart hammering against his ribcage from happiness and pleasure.
"Sounds good to me." Yugi breathed before smashing his lips to Yami's for a passionate, long awaited kiss.
Danny, Sarah, Vivian and others all stood in the pupil entrance, smiling and chatting, holding their exam results. Being in their first year of college, they had sat their final exams in June, a month ago, and were looking forward to the long summer holiday.
"Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my exam results along with Yami Sennen's." Everyone looked to the pupil entrance desk to see Yugi talking to the secretary, the desk covering most of the small teen, the girls giggling at how cute he seemed beside the tall desk.
"Yami needs to pick up his own dear."
"He's waiting in the car outside just there." Yugi pointed outside, the secretary standing and leaning over the desk to see.
"Oh yes, well then here you go Yugi."
"Thank you Miss, have a nice holiday." Yugi said, smiling charmingly in thanks.
"And you as well."
"Oh I will." Yugi replied with a chuckle, turning to walk back out.
"Oh Yugi!" Yugi paused when he heard his name called, tuning to see Vivian and her friends rushing over with Danny and Sarah in tow. Yugi grinned mentally when their eyes widened at the sight of him wearing his tight white leather outfit. "Well, well Yugi Moto, looks like someone's been working out!" Vivian observed, sounding shocked.
"You look good Yugi; we haven't seen you in so long!" Another girl spoke up. The teen put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.
"Oh I've been around. I run once a day now and work out with my friends once a weekend, and I've been studying with friends in spare rooms so I learnt better." Yugi replied.
"So how did you do?" Sarah asked.
Yugi shrugged again. "Don't know, me and Yami are going to look at our results together."
Vivian looked around. "Where is Yami?"
"Right here." Yugi looked behind him and smirked when Yami came striding in. Yami stopped by Yugi's side, kissing him on the cheek and wrapping am arm around his shoulders. "Ready to go?"
Yugi grinned and nodded. "Yep let's go, I don't want Joey complaining that we're late."
"Where you boys off?" A girl asked.
"And since when are you two together?" Danny asked, glaring at Yami with what looked like anger.
Yugi hummed in thought for a second. "About three or four days after you text me that it was over." Yugi said evenly. Some of the girls in the group gasped and looked at Danny when they heard he'd dumped Yugi by text, making the tall teen shuffle on his feet nervously. "And we've been going out for well over a month now."
Yami was watching Yugi, grinning. "And now we're off to the airport with Yugi's friends to go and visit my parents and friends in Egypt for a holiday."
"Oh wow, you're so lucky Yugi! And you both look adorable together!" Vivian complimented.
Yugi looked up at Yami with a soft look. "I know I'm lucky."
Yami, smiling brightly with pride and joy, squeezed Yugi's shoulders. "Well let's get a move on, I promised my friends they could meet us at the airport in Cairo and Bakura will be majorly pissed if I miss my flight again." Yami winked at Yugi and gave him a meaningful look which made the boy blush and giggled. Nodding, Yugi letting Yami lead him out, turning his head slightly to wave bye to the group and wishing them a good holiday.
As the two got in Yami's new car, a 2008 Saad 9-3 red convertible with black strips down the middle of the car- compliments of Yami's father who, to Yugi's astonishment, is very rich- Yugi found he couldn't stop smiling.
"Well someone's happy." Yami mocked lightly.
"And why shouldn't I be? I stood up to Danny and proved I'm stronger and better off without him and Sarah, I have great friends, we're off on a dream holiday to Egypt, and I an amazing boyfriend who loves me as much as I love him. My life Rocks!" Yugi cheered. Yami laughed happily, turning on his CD player to his favourite song.
Yugi blushed when he realised the song was Scream by Usher, but smiled happily and sung along with his boyfriend as they pulled out onto the main road, the sun shining for once, the day warm and perfect.
