Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Differences Don't Matter ❯ Invitation ( Chapter 20 )

**IMPORTANT**

AN: Hey everybody!! I've got a quick question I would like to ask you before we get on to Chapter 20. I was thinking about publishing this story into an actual book and I would like to know everybody's honest opinions about what you think. Naturally, I would change things like how the characters look and their names and more likely then not any lemons that will be involved in the future would be omitted, along with some other things. So please let me know what you think? ^_^

No, the “123”s don't mean anything. They're just page break because for some reason the tildes (the squiggles) don't show up.

Nearly asleep Yami was withheld from sleep when Yugi shook his shoulder lightly. With a voice that made all sleep inside Yami cease to exist Yugi mumbled something with hot breath on the older's bare chest. “I'm scared….”

 

Yami sat up on an elbow looking down at his elf with shadowed eyes. “Yugi….”

 

Violet eyes closed softly, eyelashes kissing his rosy cheeks with a delicacy Yami envied. Yugi shifted closer to Yami, hiding his face in between neck and shoulder while his arms wrapping around the human's torso with such intensity Yami wasn't sure if he should begin to worry or not. Wrapping his arms around the young elf, the crimson-eyed teen kissed his temple softly, hoping that Yugi wouldn't need too much persuasion to open up. If he did Yami didn't think he could be able to handle it. He was never very good at comforting people and he was never sure if he was getting somewhere with it or just making the situation worse.

 

“I'm scared,” Yugi repeated again. Yami felt hot tears fall around the curve of his neck and slide down his side. When he pulled away to look into Yami's worried crimson eyes Yugi bit his bottom lip and averted his eyes to look around the room instead. Yami guided Yugi's face to look back at his with the use of his thumb and two fingers. He could only hope the up creek expression he was giving Yugi would be enough.

 

The elf closed his eyes for a second before nodding, more to himself than to Yami. “That book….what I'm supposed to do,” he whispered with a hoarse voice. “I didn't know how to say it before, but something Ryou and Malik said to me on the way back….but I'm scared.”

 

Yami looked down at Yugi softly. Leaning down he kissed his cheek and held him tenderly, not enough to crowd him but still closely enough to let him know he was there.

 

“What if I can't do it, Yami? What if I let everyone down? I'll never be able to live with myself if I don't succeed and everyone is counting on me.” After each sentence Yugi's voice was louder and Yami quickly pressed his mouth to the elf's in an efficient way of quieting him.

 

He hushed him and petted the colorful hair affectionately, doing all the things his mother used to do to him to help calm him down. “Everything's going to be fine,” Yami breathed. His consecrated attentions towards the elf seemed to be working and he gave a mental thank you to his mother for always being there for him even when she's no longer alive.

 

“Yami….” The quiet voice broke through Yami's line of thinking and he looked down at the small elf with soft eyes. “Everything's going to be okay, isn't it? You won't leave me right? Even if I mess everything up?” Tears shown brightly in the violet irises and nimble fingers clutched tightly around Yami's arms. Yami's heart clutched painfully with each beat it took, it reminded him greatly of the one time he went too far with his father and the man ended up holding his throat tighter than usual. Shaking off the more depressing thoughts he rested his forehead to Yugi's.

 

“You could never ruin anything in my eyes, Yugi,” he told the elf. A slight blush with a pink tone rose on Yugi's cheeks and Yami continued as he saw a lone tear slide down of his cheeks. “You're perfect in every way to me and I would never change that for anything. So don't worry about what anyone else says or thinks. For right now I want you to be Yugi because that's what I care about most. Just be yourself and do things at your own pace and if anyone gives you any lip about it they'll have to deal with my less attractive side.”

 

Yugi giggled, his hand coming up to his mouth as laughter started to spew forth. Yami mocked annoyance and he sat up in the bed, putting his hands on his hips. “What are you laughing about? I'm entirely serious.” Right after saying that he stuck up his chin and hmph-ed in a girly fashion, acting like how he sees Tea act when he insults her. The action only caused a larger tirade of giggles from the elf and soon Yugi was laughing outright, curled up on his side holding his ribs painfully while Yami continued to act insulted.

 

The playfulness lasted for a few minutes longer with the end result having Yami straddling Yugi's waist, tickling him mercilessly and the young elf choking for breath and his hands alternating between holding his ribs and trying to ward off more of Yami's attacks. Both were in much higher spirits by the time they both had to stop and catch their breaths. Rather than sad droplets, tears of laughter ran freely down Yugi's cheeks in clear rivulets and the same mirrored on Yami's face.

 

Rolling off to the side, Yami collapsed beside the elf on the sheets and held the violet-eyed youth to him. “Feel better?”

 

“Much,” Yugi grinned widely.

 

With a smile Yami kissed him deeply on the mouth, enjoying the sweetness that was Yugi. The kind of sweetness one could easily become addicted to if exposed for too long and Yami had no qualms getting drunk off the elf. After all, if one is to become high than there's no better way than with the love of your life.

 

Love…I didn't think I'd ever find it Yami told himself as he watched Yugi settle into his side and close his eyes once more. However, in Yugi…..I think I just might find it. With a smile Yami kissed the top of Yugi's head, tangled his fingers in the soft, multicolored tresses, and closed his eyes with a tired sigh.

It was later in the day when Yami and Yugi found themselves alone again. To the two of them it seemed like Bakura and Marik were going out of their way to follow them around and badger them with senseless questions and even more inane stories of how the two of them pulled a particular prank on someone. Each one seemed more ridiculous than the last and Yugi found that it was entertaining to listen to them no matter how much Yami disagreed.

 

Yami collapsed with a sigh in the overstuffed armchair located in the library. Yugi watched with a glazed over expression, deep in thought about Christmas and the things the older teen had explained to him. He knew enough that it was a special holiday where families got together and celebrated by exchanging gifts.

 

Yugi blushed slightly and looked away from the crimson-eyed teen long enough to get over his embarrassment. He'd already decided shortly after he'd been told about the exchanging of gifts that he definitely wanted to get Yami something. The big day was teetering closer though and still Yugi didn't know exactly what that something would be, let alone when he'd get the chance to get it.

 

It had been forever since the two of them actually went out on the town though. They go outside, but they never go further than the stables. In fact, that's the only place Yugi had been to the whole month and that was to show Ryou and Malik where to drop off the horses. He'd barely noticed the sparkling decorations and the delicious smells wafting through the air, but after having a chance to think about them he wanted to explore.

 

A squeak issued from his lips when arms wrapped around his trim waist and lips pressed lightly to his cheek. Red eyes watched with amusement as a red blush covered Yugi's face and the elf chuckled nervously.

 

“What are you thinking about so seriously over here,” Yami asked, one eyebrow raised with playful suspicion.

 

Thinking quickly Yugi clasped his hands together behind his back and smiled cutely. “I was thinking of how I was going to get a kiss out of you,” he said smoothly. He didn't want Yami to know what he was thinking simply because he knew Yami enough to know the teen would berate himself for keeping Yugi locked up when the elf was used to the outdoors.

 

Smirking, Yami tugged the violet-eyed youth by his shirt playfully and kissed his lips sweetly, suckling on his bottom lip for a short pause before pulling away. “Is that what you wanted?”

 

Yugi nodded, slightly dazed for a different reason now. Yami worked like a drug on the elf and each time they touched it never seemed to be enough. The elf didn't want to hover too closely, but he also didn't want to wander too far and the conflicting emotions inside him made his head ache more often than it should. Every kiss or affectionate touch made Yugi that much more addicted to the person that was Yami and he was drowning in the love he felt towards him.

 

That has to be what this is, right Yugi would continuously ask himself. It's got to be love. I've never felt such a powerful feeling before, but deep within me I know that I'm right.

 

“Good,” Yami nipped at the tip of his ear, relishing in the sudden yip from the elf, and gathered him in his arms. They settled down in the chair and Yami kissed him sweetly once more. Yugi naturally had no objections and happily indulged in the attention he was getting.

 

There could be a good thing to Yami's cousins Yugi thought mischievously, opening himself for the red-eyed human beneath him. With the twin terrors, as Yami referred to them most of the time, the teen easily got warn out and tensed making sure they didn't break anything or do anything stupid. Yugi would be the first thing Yami went to in order to relieve that tension and he always admitted to feeling “better than he ever felt before” after thoroughly fooling around with Yugi.

 

Yami's hands wandered further down and he enjoyed the low moan that vibrated in Yugi's chest. He pressed up as he pushed the elf's hips down and nearly in unison matching groans of pleasure tore from their lips. One hand slithered up underneath Yugi's shirt and toyed with one of the dusty-pink nipples hidden underneath. Yugi's breathing hitched before he sighed and closed his eyes, surrendering himself entirely to Yami.

 

The elf found that each time Yami and him were together in such a way the ruby-eyed teen would be bolder that the previous time. The first time his hands had gone underneath his shirt and Yugi had been so startled that the mood had been broken beyond recognition. After that though Yugi was prepared for each new step Yami would take with him. That initial action was followed by hands wandering further down, kisses moving further south, and once they'd been so heated and gone that articles of clothing had been removed. It hadn't gone any further than that though before Yugi got nervous and they had slowed down. They still hadn't gotten past that last piece of clothing though and Yugi could tell that his lover (“Is that what we are,” Yugi would question himself) was getting frustrated no matter how much he tried to hide it.

 

Soon the elf promised himself after each one of their remarkable sessions together. Soon I'll be ready and I'll be able to make him happy.

“Isn't that the hottest thing you've ever seen,” Malik drooled from where him and Ryou watched from the doorway. Or rather, Malik unblinkingly stared with a pool of saliva gathering in his mouth and Ryou bit his lips nervously and continuously strained his neck looking up and down the hall like he was in the middle of two people playing a ferocious tennis match.

 

“This isn't right, Malik. We should go,” the albino tugged at the other elf's shirt with no avail.

 

“Oh come on, it's no different than Bakura and you watching Marik and me those couple times.”

 

A heavy flush burned on Ryou's cheeks and he quickly argued in an embarrassed whisper, “That's entirely different and you know it. Th-that was consented and this is spying!”

 

“Okay, okay,” Malik grumbled, moving away from the crack in the door. “But it's still the hottest thing I've ever seen.” He looked over his white-haired companion before a fit of chuckles attacked him and Ryou clamped a hand over his mouth hurriedly before they could be found out. Paranoid, he looked up and down the hallway a few more times. Malik tore his delicate hand away and gasped for breath. “I couldn't help it,” he admitted when he saw Ryou's glare. “Seeing you in those clothes and acting the way you are is just hilarious.”

 

Another blush covered the elf's cheeks and he pouted, looking away despite Malik's objections. “You know it's not my fault. Bakura likes me in these things and if Bakura likes it…then I'll wear it for him.”

 

“You're too nice, Ryou,” Malik said, obviously flirting as he settled his hands on Ryou's trim waist.

 

“Stop it,” the elf batted away the other. “I thought we were here to talk to Yugi.”

 

Malik pouted at being knocked away so easily, but quickly forgot about it and nodded with a large smile on his face. Ignoring Ryou's protests he grabbed his hands and burst them both into the room.

“Yugi, we have something we need to ask you,” Malik announced loudly, dragging a reluctant and, as usual, scantily dressed Ryou behind him.

 

During the short time they'd been there Yugi and Yami both learned quickly that Bakura and Marik treated the elves as though they weren't any different from themselves and, for their respect, they only asked for one thing in return: to wear the clothes they bought for them. Yugi knew exactly how the two other elves felt about the arrangement though. After all, if Yami asked something similar like that of him than he would do it without a second thought. The three of them knew how lucky they were.

 

Yugi blushed hotly, looking away from the other two quickly while his small hands clutched tightly onto Yami's shirt. The human teen merely sighed, though he originally wanted to scream and shout like a little child being dragged from the toy store during Christmas. It wouldn't do to make a fuss, especially with the two elves. They were at least tolerable whereas his cousins were just plain unbearable.

 

“What do you want,” he asked, though he made sure to put an edge in his voice.

 

Ryou whispered in Malik's ear. “You see, he's upset now.”

 

“Don't be absurd, Ryou,” the bleached-blonde elf said, waving his hand around nonchalantly. “He's just sexually frustrated and trying to make us the ones to blame.”

 

“What,” Yami shouted, sitting up. He would've tossed Yugi off him completely if a hand hadn't been wrapped around his waist. Yugi's blush heated up and he couldn't look anyone in the face. “Get out! Just leave!”

 

Malik's face scrunched up in mock disappointment, but he didn't leave despite Ryou's urging to do so. Pushing off the hands pulling at his long-sleeve shirt he moved forward and leaned down, smiling innocently at Yugi. “Yugi, Ryou and I have a question for you.”

 

Hesitantly, violet eyes peeked out from behind two small hands and he looked curiously at Malik.

 

“Hey, hey, there's no reason to be embarrassed.” Malik smiled and took Yugi's hands in his, holding them gently. “We wanted to know if you'd like to go shopping with us?” His amethyst eyed were alight with excitement and he was practically jumping up and down on the balls of his feet as he asked. “Marik and Bakura said we could go out, but they wanted someone who knew this town to be with us so we won't get lost or cause any trouble. Please?”

 

Yami narrowed his eyes. He wanted to say no…well…hell no, actually, but if it meant that the house would be a little quieter he'd consider it. He wished it didn't have to be Yugi though, but he knew there was probably no other way around it. All three of them were elves after all and if they were comfortable around each other then….

 

“Well….I-I don't know if….” Yugi bit his lip and looked from an energetic Malik, to a defeated Ryou, and then to an annoyed looking Yami before repeating the cycle.

 

At Yami's sigh three pairs of eyes turned to look at the only human in the room. “Alright, you can go.” He looked pointedly at the two elves, specifically Malik, and continued, “But if I find out that you've rough-housed him or caused any trouble at all I'll make sure you and those two nitwit cousins of mine are no longer have to ability to reproduce.” Both of the elves paled while Yugi's cheeks puffed out in a restrained laughter.

 

“Y-yes, sir,” Ryou agreed.

 

Malik, all smiles again, nodded eagerly. “Of course, Yami.” He grabbed Yugi's hand and dragged him out before another word could be said.
