Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Changing Makes a Difference ❯ Memories ( Chapter 5 )

Stepping under the hot spray of the shower after firmly locking the door, Yami let the stress from the long and tiresome day wash away to the drain. From shooing other away from him and with Yugi sick with a slight fever from the day before he decided a shower was the best thing to clear his mind. He didn't have any homework to do that night so he could focus completely on Yugi without worries.

After cleaning up Yami headed back to his own dorm to get some well-deserved sleep so he could be up early and help Yugi study like he promised earlier. It was the only way he could make sure Yugi would sleep instead of reading from that science book while he was sick. He knew Yugi wanted to pass the test with at least a B and he needed to study hard since it was a good chunk of their grade as a final. With that kind of stress Yami had to make that promise, if he was feeling better and was up to it, or Yugi would never have gotten rest that day while he was in classes.

He was about to lie down in his bed when he got a startled and unwelcome surprise that there was already somebody lying in his bed. Yami held his breath to try and calm himself down but he failed miserably as the thought of having sex kept passing his mind.

Yanking the covers he glared at the bug lying in his bed like he owned it. "What the hell do you think you're doing in my bed, Underwood!?" He yelled as loud as he could in the teen's ear.

Weevil's eyes shot open and he jumped out of the bed a good few feet before gravity pulled him down to the floor and at Yami's feet. "Yami, it's so good to see you again! Why'd you lock your door? Did you miss that note I sent you in History about coming around?" He asked innocently.

"Get your ass out of my room! I don't want you or anybody else and nothing, I repeat, NOTHING WILL CHANGE MY MIND!" Yami shouted loudly. "Leave before I hurt you so bad you won't be able to move for a month!"

"I love your dirty mouth, Yami. It was always a turn on for me and made it so much enjoyable." Weevil seductively licked his lips and tried to kiss Yami.

The junior pushed him away forcefully, shoving him towards the door. "I don't want you!"

"No, you need me." Weevil smirked, walking slowly back to Yami.

Yami rolled his eyes in both disgust and utter annoyance before he gasped lightly as he was pulled down with Weevil. He landed on top of the bug-loving student as the fell on the bed. Weevil smirked at him once more and started rubbing his groin against Yami's and moaned lightly.

Yami stifled a groan and tried to throw Weevil's arms, which were wrapped tightly around his middle, of him. He couldn't change the fact of how much he missed the sweaty and blissful passion of sex but he wasn't about to back down on his bet.

Weevil's hands moved slowly down and squeezed tightly as they reached Yami's ass, continuing to rub against the older as another moan escaped his lips.

Lightly, barely just heard, a hesitant knock sounded on the door. Weevil looked up and unconsciously let go of Yami in his slight surprise. Yami glared at the bug-lover and with his now free arms and hands threw Weevil off him, a squeak of shock coming from the younger. He clutched onto Weevil's collar as he pushed him against the door, anger rising by the second for what the sophomore had done.

Thinking that Yami had changed his mind he started to rub himself against Yami's groin once more, moving his hand down to cup the juncture between Yami's legs. "I knew you'd change your mind. I knew I'd be the one who made you come to your senses." He whispered.

The junior growled loudly. He threw open the door and tossed Weevil out and onto the floor roughly. "If anybody ever comes near me like that again I will personally remove their purpose for having a gender most PAINFULLY!"

Weevil's face visibly paled quickly and he scuttled to his feet and ran as fast as he could down the hall for his life.

"Yami." A quiet voice reached the older's ears. He turned slowly and saw Yugi, rosy cheeks and a few sweat beads sliding down his forehead from his fever, hugging his blanket around his petite form tightly and looking him with such innocence.

Yami felt his anger retreating to be replaced by something else. He smiled and walked over to Yugi, wrapping arms around him and hugging him close. "Now what would you be doing out of bed with a fever liker yours?"

Yugi hugged him back, hiding his face in Yami's shoulder. "I couldn't go to sleep. I feel so cold, Yami." He whimpered, shivering slightly in Yami's hold.

Yami wrapped the blanket more snuggly around Yugi and picked him up and carried him inside, he noted how light Yugi still was. He placed Yugi on the bed and tucked the sheets around his lithe form comfortably. He turned back to the bed heater he left out for Yugi in case he came over and Yami was in classes, adjusting it so it would blow warm air across the smaller's face, but not so much that it was uncomfortable.

Remembering that he hadn't thanked Yami for taking care of him Yugi opened his violet eyes, but before he could saying anything he noticed Yami was now wearing on his boxers as he was settled on the floor.

"Yami, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Yugi, just a little hot."

"You could open a window if you wanted."

"No, then the warmth would escape and I want you to get better."

Reluctantly Yugi agreed and fell asleep a few moments later to the soothing sounds Yami had put on the radio for him.

~~

Yugi awoke early the next morning like he usual did, feeling better than ever. Looking around for Yami he smiled slightly at the calm look Yami wore as slept on the floor.

`He must've just gotten to sleep a little while ago. He's still trying to get comfortable.' Yugi noted as he slipped out from under the covers, feeling guilty. He pushed the `off' button for the small heater and opened the window. `Now I know how he must've felt last night. It's really stuffy in here.' He thought as he looked at Yami with an apologetic smile.

He settled down beside Yami, leaning against the closet door for support, and kissed the taller on the cheek.

The slight caress awoke Yami and he smiled happily at Yugi, seeing how he looked a lot better than he had the night before. He put his lips to Yugi's forehead and smiled. "You feel much cooler now. Your fever's all gone. How do you feel?"

"Much better thanks to you, Yami." Yugi beamed as he crawled into Yami's lap and rested his head on his chest. "I'm sorry it was so hot in here last night."

Yami tensed but it had gone unnoticed by Yugi. He took a deep breath before he answered, glad that his voice hadn't cracked. "It was no problem."

"Why were you so angry when you threw your friend out of your room?" Yugi asked quietly.

Yami stroked his Yugi's cheek and tried to shift but only made his predicament worse and his breath hitched. Luckily for him Yugi failed to notice once more. "Nothing to worry about" He answered quickly.

Yugi smiled and snuggled more in Yami's lap, wriggling around to get comfortable. He accepted that answer and decided to rest a little more.

A few minutes later he looked back up at Yami with a smile. "I'm going to go take a quick shower." He jumped up and bounded for the door.

Yami breathed a sigh of relief but quickly remembered the dance as he heard the door open. "Yugi wait!"

Yugi abruptly stopped and looked back at Yami with confusion. "What's wrong, Yami?"

"Uh… nothing's wrong, Yugi. See… ano(1), I was going to ask you sooner but I never got the chance. I… I wanted to know if you'd like to go to the Christmas dance with me?"

Yugi's smile brightened and he ran back over to where Yami was now standing and kissed him lovingly on the cheek, hugging him tightly around his waist as well. "I'd love to go with you, Yami! I didn't think you'd want to though!"

"Of course I would. Now, go take your shower."

Yugi nodded and ran back out of the room, his day starting off wonderfully. `I can't wait the dance; I'm so excited! Tomorrow's going to be perfect with the dance to look forward to that night!' Yugi thought eagerly.

~~

As soon as the door closed Yami took a deep breath and leaned heavily against the closet door. `Good thing Yugi didn't notice what he was doing. That would be really embarrassing.' Yami took another relieved breath to calm his body down further.

Yami had so many things to be relieved for too and also kinda proud that he had said no to his body's demands. For Yugi had accidentally shifted one to many times in Yami's lap the minute he settled there. He had been causing a pleasure filled friction every time he shifted in Yami's lap and had ended up rubbing against his groin in the most blissful way. Yugi would have also been scared out of his mind had Yami not been able to contain himself being the most he was relieved for. And least of all there was still the bet. He would've lost severely had he had sex with Yugi; raped him.

`I'm not losing this bet. And I refuse to harm Yugi like that! I refuse to be a rapist and especially to something so innocent and pure! To be something so… so… " Yami's anger froze as he thought about that memory; that horrible memory that cause things to turn around for the worst.

*~Flashback~*

Yami scowled as he sat on his bed. His mother and stepfather had just returned from the honeymoon last night and he refused to sit by and watch them, watch him ruin the perfect life he had with him mother. He shivered as he thought about his stepfather.

"I won't call him that." Yami whispered dangerously. "I won't ever respect him. He'll never be my dad even if I never knew my real one."

A knock sounded on his door and he asked who was there.

"It's your mother." A soft, sweet voice called from behind the door.

Yami smiled and went to the door and unlocked it. "Yes, mother?" He started but glared at the other person behind her. "Keith." He nodded barely at him.

"Yami, can't you be more…"

"You wanted something mother?" He interrupted before his mother could finish.

"I wanted to know if you were hungry? You've been up here all day and I've only seen you once since we returned last night. With you returning to school next month I won't be able to spend very much time with you until next summer. Couldn't we do something together? All three of us?"

Yami had loved the idea of spending time of his mother but he quickly scowled at the idea of all three of them together. "I'm sorry mother, I'm going to be a bit busy and I'm trying to finish… an application for college that needs to be sent in soon." He quickly lied, not wanting to upset his mother by telling her the truth.

"When did you get an application?" His mother questioned surprised. "You didn't tell me when you mailed all those times. Why didn't you?"

"I wanted it to be a surprise if I got in."

"Well I'm certainly surprised." His mother leaned over and placed a loving kiss on his cheek. "I'm very proud of you, Yami. Maybe some other time then?"

Yami nodded as he looked over her young face. Emerald green eyes glittered in the light of the room and her dark red hair hung down at her waist and blonde bangs framing her youthful face.

She nodded back at him with that sweet and gently smile on her face and turned back to the stairs.

Keith hung back to glare at Yami and the teen glared right back.

"You'll never be right for my mother or me." Yami growled.

"You don't have a choice, shrimp. So sit back and enjoy the ride while you can because soon you won't be living so high." He snarled back.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You'll see."

Yami refused to remove his eyes from their stare first so he took the time to wonder how his mother could accept his proposal of marriage; he wasn't even handsome in his opinion. From the tacky American flag-designed bandanna to his sunglasses he barely off took off and then the large combat boots he always wore; Yami hated every inch of him. He even kept that useless stubble of a beard because he believed it was stylish.

Finally Keith broke their stare as he retreated down the steps and Yami closed his door loudly to show he wasn't welcome in the house.

`You're all talk, Keith. We'll see how long you last with my mother before I'm free to tear you limb from limb for even daring to marry her.'

~A few weeks later~

A light tap sounded on Yami's door and he looked up from his book. "Whose there?" He asked after he heard quiet tap. Out of curiosity he stood and went to the door and unlocked it to see if someone was there.

After the click was heard the door burst open and Yami fell to the floor from the force. Before he could look up his mouth was gagged and his door was once more locked. He began to struggle but he was easily picked up and thrown on the bed, his book falling carelessly to the floor. Glancing up he saw Keith now leaned over him and he glared, trying hard not to show the slight fear he had for what would happen.

"I told you that you should've enjoyed your freedom while he could because now you're mine shrimp." Keith chuckled.

Yami tried to call out from somebody but the bandanna effectively reduced his voice and muffled his words.

His clothes were torn from his body like they were rags and Yami's bare form was shown to Keith. Yami growled and tried to cover himself but Keith pulled his hands back and laughed.

"Try whatever you want, punk, but it won't work. Everyone's gone and your mother believes we're bonding. This house is empty minus the two of us." Keith laughed out once more as he removed one hand from Yami and stripped himself down.

Crimson eyes widened as the most unbelievable pain tore through his body…

*~End of Flashback~*

"I won't end up being like… him." He whispered. Wrapping his arms around himself much like he had the night he lost all control of his life. He didn't cry though, just shook himself and tried to clear the memories away to the depths of his mind.

After eventually calming himself Yami's thoughts wandered to the bet Joey had on him. And then to how Yugi would act if he ever found out. After being so happy for the first time since he's been to the school. He already had a lot of trust in Yami. How would he act after being that happy just to find out it was fluke all along and Yami really had no intention of wanting to go out with him?

`Should I tell him about the bet when this is over; could I do that to him?' He wondered. "No… I couldn't. He doesn't deserve that." Yami answered himself in a whisper.

~~

That night Yugi was sitting at his desk, reading the email his grandpa had sent him.

Hello Yugi,

No, I'm afraid the doctors haven't found anything yet. They've tried giving me something new and it seems to be working a little better than the last, but not by much.

I'm so glad that you've found a friend at last, Yugi, and more than that as well. I'd love to meet him if I could. Would there be any chance you could bring him with you when you visit home next week for the holidays? I'm sorry he doesn't have a good reputation, but I'm sure you can do something about that. You always try and do something to make it better for somebody.

I'll have to be ending now. Hope to hear from you soon and I can't wait until you visit.

Love,

Grandpa

Yugi smiled as he read the reply over again before clicking the send button on the screen to answer back

Hey Grandpa~

I'm glad you found something that helps a little better. I might even help more than you think.

I'm sorry I didn't reply back to you so quickly this time. I was feeling under the weather and I had a bad fever too. Yami, my boyfriend, took care of me though. I feel all better now thanks to him. He even promised he'd help me study for science test that's coming up since it's a big part of my grade. And that's not the best part! Earlier today he asked me to go to the Christmas dance with him that's occurring tomorrow night! I'm so excited about it! I'll have to ask him if he can visit with me though so I'll get back to you on that. I can't wait to see you either. And don't worry; I will help change him if I can.

Love Ya!

Yugi

He clicked send and sat back in his chair as he watched as his digital Curse of Dragon took his letter and flew away. The little movie always made him laugh as he saw it.

After his Celtic Guardian and Dark Magician fazed onto the screen with the message `EMAIL SENT' in between them. He clicked okay and the two Duel Monsters faded back out.

He turned the computer off and turned around to click his lamp off to go to bed. Before he could push the small button for the lamp though his wrist was forcefully grabbed and he gasped looking around him quickly as three peoples' very pissed off faces just before his lamp was clicked off for him and he was plunged into darkness.
