Yugi woke with great contentment the next morning. He shifted closer to the warm body beside him, only to be disappointed when he found none. Fear struck him faster than it had the day before and he quickly sat up, shoving the sheets off of him. His heart slowed though when he saw Yami coming back into the room with two steaming mugs, one in each hand.

 

“I was just coming to wake you, Yugi. You okay, you look as though you've seen a ghost,” Yami joked.

 

“Yes, yes, I'm fine now. You're with me and I've never felt better than I do right now.”

 

“You aren't too sore, are you,” Yami asked, carefully sitting on the bed and handing one mug to Yugi.

 

Yugi covered the both of them back up with the sheets and leant gently against Yami. “You've helped to cure me of my past. For once, I finally feel rid of it for good. Perhaps it was a good thing I had that nightmare. If I didn't, I might not ever have found the courage to tell you the truth.”

 

“You would've, Yugi. I know you would've, given time.”

 

The younger smiled and cuddled up closer to the crimson-eyed teen beside him.

 

Their quiet moment together was short lived, however, when the phone began ringing insistently. Yami grumbled and refused to go answer it. Instead, he opted for drinking from his mug and tangling his fingers in Yugi's soft locks.

 

“You really should answer that, Yami. It's rude to ignore it and it could be important,” Yugi scolded, though he showed no sign from removing himself to go answer the phone either nor get off of Yami to let him answer it as well.

 

“Who else would call here other than the restaurant? It is my day off and there is plenty of people there that they wouldn't need to call me in. The only person it could be is an annoying solicitor saying I won a million dollars if only I could answer their pointless question of the day.”

 

Yugi choked into his mug, laughing as he pushed against Yami playfully. “You come up with the weirdest things to say. I definitely enjoy when you say how much you love me though.”

 

“Really,” Yami played along. “Well then, I'll just have to say it more often and make sure you never forget it.”

 

“I shall never forget it as long as I have you by my side.”

 

Yami chuckled and nodded before groaning at the now insistent beep of the answering machine. “I don't suppose there is any way for me to ignore that,” he grumped. “Come, help me to slay the evil threat of the rude caller.” He rolled out the bed and pulled on a pair of grey sweatpants.

 

Yugi shook his head at the playful mood and followed Yami out of the room, pulling on his faded jeans from the day before. The voice he heard on the answering machine froze him in the middle of the hall, his mouth open with disbelief.

 

Hey, Yami, it's Nile. I know you probably want nothing more to do with me after how I treated you yesterday. I'm on my home now with Corrine and Emerald though so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Corrine and I talked and I apologize for the way I insulted the way you live. This all seems strange for you, I know, when only yesterday I was shouting at you. Corrine explained things to me better though, a reason for which I married her and am in love with her so is that she can make me see things that no other can. I only hope you find someone like her some day.

The reason for the unexpected call is that I spoke with father and, well, you'll find out in the mail. Call it the miracle that you mentioned to me before.

 

When the machine beeped again, signaling the end of the message as if on cue there was a knock on the door.

 

Yami stared at it for a second, his fingers fiddling amongst themselves before he finally stepped closer to answer the door. Yugi watched as his lover opened the door. He spoke to the man for a second before taking the offered envelope, which they stared at for a minute in disbelief as Yami's father's name was written on the front.

 

After what seemed like hours, Yugi took the envelope from his lover and opened it cautiously. He pulled out a folded piece of paper, watching as a thin piece fell to the floor. They ignored it and focused solely on the letter. Yami unfolded it and they read it together.

 

Yami,

This may seem odd to you at the moment, but all will be explained. First, I want to apologize for abandoning you how I did. You are more of an adult than I ever could've been and I am sorry I forced you to be the parent and take care of us when I was still living with you.

I received a phone call early this morning from your brother, who demanded I take my responsibilities. Thinking it over, I agreed with him. I know this won't be enough to compensate for all I've done, but I will try. I can't promise that I will become the perfect father one day, but hope that I will be enough for you to call me that some day.

 

Yami stared at the letter a bit longer before he saw Yugi knelt down and picked up the fallen piece of paper. Hearing a slight gasp, he looked closer and felt his mouth fall open just slightly.

 

In Yugi's hand was the rent for the next month and, taped just behind it, was the rent Yami had already paid for the last three months since his father had left.

 

“Dear gods, he actually paid me back. The miracle in which I said could never happen, has occurred.” Yami grinned and knelt beside Yugi, holding him closely, feeling the stability he'd wanting for so long.

 

“I don't think your brother knows just how much he really did for us,” Yugi whispered. “Not one bit.”

Hope that was a good ending. It had been rolling around in my head for ages and I just had to do it. Anyway, it's time for the voting for the next story everyone's MagicReeni shall write ^_^.

 

It was just a Game - Yugi is just a regular teen going through the regular problems. What happens when his world is turned around by an unexpected visitor and in a weird arrival? It was just a game until a strange power surge made one of the characters in Yugi's favorite game a reality.

 

Out at Sea - Bakura's a captain of his ship, The Sennen, along with his two top mates, Marik and Yami. Bakura kidnaps Ryou in order to keep from being killed from Ryou's father, the governor of the island, and Yugi and Malik follow for their own reasons.

 

Down to Earth - Yugi's a god sent back to be reborn on Earth after he saved the heavens from a great evil. Malik and Ryou are sent to after him when Yugi begins to have dreams about what happened. Of course, things never go directly as planned when they run into the three teens who look just like them.

 

Shadowed Light - Shuichi's been depressed for a while now and it doesn't help when Yuki's always busy and tells him to get lost a lot. Hiro's with Ayaka, Suguru doesn't like him enough as it is, so Shuichi doesn't think he'll help anyway. It feels to him as though nobody really notices his change in attitude. - Gravitation.

 

Differences Don't Matter - Yugi's an elf and Yami's a rich guy's only son. Elves are slaves to the humans and Yugi's the best as they come. When these two meet there's no telling what could happen between them.

 

Happy voting, readers. And thank you in advance for your votes. I'm not sure how long it'll be up, but I'll put up the results as soon as I've found the one that is going to unmistakably win. ^_^
