Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Darkness ❯ Chapter 15 ( Chapter 14 )

Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu-Gi-Oh   A/N: Next chapter…I just got re-inspired to write these!  WOOT, go me!   Broken Darkness   Chapter 15   Yugi        Yami was getting sick again and I had to go to school.  Monday through Wednesday I was okay and fine and everyone didn’t think anything was wrong, but by Thursday the worry showed so much on my face I started crying and spilling everything in the middle of the classroom before school even began.       “I want to go home and be with him but Grandpa won’t let me,” I said.      Jou clasped his hands on my shoulders. “He’ll be fine Yugi, Yami’s tough, right?  He made it through being sick before so just care for him now.”      “Here’s something that should help cheer you up,” Anzu said, “Teacher meetings are on Friday so we have off that day, you’ll be able to stay with Yami then then, right?”      “That’s right,” I said, “But I don’t know what’s going on!  It’s scaring me; I don’t want to loose him again!”      “None of us do,” Anzu said and pried Jou off of me and rested her own hand on my shoulder, “We all care about him.”      “I assume once he gets better again you’ll probably ask him out,” I said bitterly, not even realizing what I had said once I said it.      “What are you talking about Yugi?” she asked.      “It was obvious you liked him.  Once you met him you liked him more and more,” I said, not able to control it.  I was getting jealous over the past, over a future that probably wouldn’t happen! “Admit it; you love him and not me!”      “I love you both,” she said, “Yugi, how could you think otherwise?  Sure, I like him, but that’s just a crush, it’s just that, a crush.”      “I hate you!” I exclaimed and silence fell.  No one in our group said anything for a moment.  I lowered my head in shame.      “You love him, don’t you?” Anzu asked.      “What?” I asked, raising my head to meet her gaze.      “You love him, that’s the only thing that would have brought this jealous outbreak out of you,” Anzu said, “You’re jealous because you think I’m going to take him from you or something.”      “…” I didn’t say anything for a while, neither of us did.  I think Jou and Honda were just as confused with this as we were but didn’t say anything.      “That’s the only reason you…so that explains it!” she said and I looked at her, surprise across my face.      “What?”      “I knew you had a crush on me, this is the only thing that could explain why you seemed to loose it over the past few weeks, you were falling in love with Yami,” she said, “And now that he’s getting sick again, you’re afraid you might loose him.”      “Anzu…what…” I began but she shook her head.      “I’m not mad,” she said, “I couldn’t be, not with this.  I don’t mind, it was only a crush.  Sure, I’m a little jealous you turned out gay and now want him too, but you love him more than I could.  You know him better than I do.”      “Anzu?” I asked.      “It’s not like I could have said ‘fight me for him’ or anything like that,” she said teasingly, “But I think he likes you too, when we first went over there when he came back from the underworld, I could tell.  I’m fine, there’s no apology needed.”      “I don’t know what to say,” I murmured.      “Well, this explains why you’ve been acting so protective of him and all,” Jou said, “I never figured you the homosexual type but so long as you’re happy with it that’s fine with me.”  I looked at him in shock.  I had feared this day all this entire month that they would find out I was gay and reject me…but they didn’t.  They didn’t reject me; they accepted me still as their friend!      “It does explain a lot,” Honda said and raised an eyebrow in acknowledgement.      “You two would make a cute couple,” Anzu said. “Oh, I have the perfect outfit that would look great on you both!  Oh wait, no that would still work!  And if you two get married, you better let me help choose your tuxes…”  I looked on in shock.  Anzu, my oldest friend in the world who used to have a crush on the pharaoh, was now planning…a wedding?  What the heck?
     “That’s going a little far Anzu!” I said, turning bright red and she smiled at me.      “Oh, that’s right, first you have to tell him,” she said seriously, “So, when will you?”
     “He’s sick right now,” I said, “It wouldn’t be a good time.”      “Actually, it might make him feel better,” Jou said, “Or it could make him feel worse if you tell him and then he says he’s not gay.”      “That’s not helping!” Honda said and smacked Jou on the head.      “Motou, Yugi?” a voice asked and I looked towards the door.      “That’s me!” I said and the man in the door nodded.      “There’s a call for you in the office,” he said.      “Okay,” I said, slightly worried as to what it might be.      “Do you want us to come with you?” Anzu asked gently, standing up with me and walking me towards the door.       I shook my head and smiled. “I’m sure it’s nothing.”  I said goodbye and followed the teacher who had come to get me to the office.   …        I took the phone from where it lay on the desk, “Hello?”
     “Yugi, it’s me, Grandpa.  Listen, it’s about Atemu,” the voice through the phone said.      “What’s going on?  Is something wrong with him?”  I nearly dropped the receiver at what I heard next.      “He’s in the hospital.”   Yami        I felt weak, sick, drained.  I lay on this hospital bed, feeling the irony of being here once before.  I think this was the exact same room Yugi had found me in, all those weeks ago.  It had seemed like so long ago, the time we spent together just passed by so fast.      “Atemu, I just called Yugi, he says he’ll be here right after school.”  The voice echoed faintly in my mind.  Was I going to die?  What was going to become of me?  I had to fight it…but I didn’t know what I was fighting…   TBC   A/N: …
