He was falling into the blackness, a yawning pit below him opened up to swallow him. There was no escape, no respite. He screamed, reaching up towards the darkness, when a hand caught his wrist.

"Yami!" He whispered, somehow sensing that something was innately wrong even though he was momentarily safe.

"You…you disgust me!" Yami snarled. "Fag!" Yami let go of his wrist with a snarl of pure hatred.

And he fell, and fell and fell.

"Yugi! Yugi! Aibou! Wake up!

"No please, I'm sorry, I…"

His stomach jerked painfully as rough but gentle hands kept shaking him.

Violet orbs drifted open to meet frightened red. Yugi reflexively pulled back from the touch that in his dream had been so cruel and accidentally slammed his head into the wall. He mewled unconsciously, all the while Yami sat beside him, hands fluttering nervous and anxious to touch his light, but afraid he might hurt himself again if touch was tried.

"Aibou…you were having a dream." Yami soothed.

Yugi cradled his own forehead in the crook of his arm as he pulled the blankets closer to his sweat soaked chest.

"Yami…Yami…please don't hate me, please don't be mad."

"I don't hate you Aibou…why would I be…let me hold you, you are shaking."

"No, don't…I'm ok..."

"Aibou." Yami whispered.

Yugi's purple eyes were filled with such terrible fear and betrayal that Yami could not stay away, and moved to rest one hand on the younger man's shoulder. He thought, given Yugi's last reaction that he might recoil again, but instead, he leaped into Yami's arms. The dark spirit `oomphed' at the sudden impact. Yugi never used to be this heavy; but then again, Yugi was eighteen now, and at a solid height of 5'5", had put on a little build as well. The spirit mentally berated himself. It should not be that much of a surprise, yet still…

"Yugi, Aibou, please don't cry, it was just a dream, it cannot hurt you. I am here."

Yami teased Yugi's hand away from where it was cradling the back of his head.

"Oh, Aibou, this will bruise badly." He whispered as he parted the thick, tri-colored hair from where it had been pulled back in a stark ponytail for the night.

"S'…ok Yami, just, just don't let go of me." Yugi mumbled somewhere from the depths of his Yami's leather shirt.

"Oh, Aibou, I would never, I am here, I am here."

Yami stroked the surprisingly all to soft hair of his brighter half, enjoying the way it smoothed under his fingers. Yugi's body was hot, hotter than usual, and it made the dark spirit concerned.

"Your fever is getting worse again Aibou…why don't we take you down to the kitchen, put some ice on that bump, and get you some more of that medicine Joey left." Yami gently prompted the hiccupping young man to stand with him.

"Come, Aibou, we will mend this." Yami gently stroked the bump on the back of his light's head. "Come now." Yami gently peeled him away from his chest a little, and with two hands on the young mans hips, helped him to his shaky feet.

"Yami?"

"Aibou?"

"You wont ever leave me, right?"

Yami nodded solemnly.

"You promise."

"I promise."

Yami was gently holding the bag of peas to Yugi's head while he was choking down more medicine and chasing it with a soda; when the elder of the Mutou clan showed up, blinking sleepily in the light.

"Hello Yami, Yugi not feeling well?" Yami shook his head. And Yugi took over the discussion instantly.

"It's ok grandpa, I just have a headache and needed more medicine, my fever was getting too high again. You don't have to be up, I'm fine I promise."

The elder Mutou shook his head.

"Don't worry, you did not wake me, I just have this nagging ache in my shoulder, old bones you know?"

"Is it that bad grandpa, should you see the doctor?"

"No…no, don't worry, just old bones aching I'm sure."

"Ok if you're sure."

"Goodnight again Yugi, I'm going to bed now, took some aspirin, I should be feeling better soon."

"Goodnight Grandpa."

Yami gently helped a dozy Yugi get into bed without twisting up in his sheets and falling off the bed. And smiled to himself. His light was so funny sometimes. Ever since Yugi had put on more leg he had become somewhat clumsy, he was taking a little time to grow into his new frame. He remembered the night his Aibou had gone to bed early, complaining that his knees and back had hurt, and the next morning, his school uniform had been three inches too small in either direction. That HAD been rich.

He was just about to finish tucking in his better half and leave when a small voice stopped him. It was not the voice of his Aibou, now a man, but the voice of the younger, a sad and forlorn small voice.

"Yami, please, please don't ever leave me. I know that I said I would help you find your memories, and when I do you will have to go, but, if there is any chance that you can stay…If you want to that is, I wouldn't want you to stay if you were unhappy but…"

"Aibou, we talked about this. I'm not going anywhere, and most likely, even if I were it would only be if you were not happy. Rest now, I'm not going to leave you."
