Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ If only for one moment, I could be like you... ❯ Tonight, tonight ( Chapter 25 )

Cars. Lots of Cars. Of course neither Yugi OR Ootogi knew what a car was from anything in the sea. "Wow...would you look at that. They have schools of fish on land..." Yugi said amusedly, as one group stopped to let another pass. "Red and blue and green and ooh hey look at that little yellow one with a person stickin' out of it!" Yugi paused for a minute, before turning pale. "Oh great Aegir himself! Those things EAT people!" Ootogi wrinkled his nose. "SHH! They'll hear you. You know sharks are spiteful things...maybe if we leave them alone we wont get eaten ourselves..."

Yugi watched as people quietly crossed from the corner they were on, to the other, the sharks completely ignoring them. "Hey! We can do that! I mean look, THEY didn't get eaten!" He chirped clapping his hands. "We'll just go out with the next group!" Ootogi was too busy examining the surroundings to pay much attention to Yugi's babbling. He'd spied that while the little red man was on the gray sea weed, the people would not move. Green must mean it was safe. "We will go, when the little man on that seaweed turns green." He said firmly.

Yugi glared and huffed. Wasn't that what he'd just said?! Minutes passed, and people began pouring into the busy avenue. Ootogi walked calmly, intermingled with the group. Yugi looked at the road cautiously. "Calm, quiet, flowing...just like the sea..." he mumbled, taking a few steps into the street, much after the majority of the group had made it safely across. Ootogi turned, noticing Yugi wasn't with him. He was still in the middle of the blacktop as the little man blinked lightly, then turned red. "AH! Yugi get outta there!" Yugi froze mid-step. Engines revved, and a few cars whizzed by Yugi. "Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! They're gonna EAT ME!" He screeched running towards Ootogi, as cars whizzed by him as though he weren't even there.

"GET OUT OF THE ROAD!" Many angry drivers yelled, honking their horns, filling the air with the deathly moaning of hungry land sharks.

Yugi whined loudly, dodging between cars and nearly getting hit by three, before Ootogi snagged him by the back of his shirt, looking thoroughly annoyed, though relieved. "Yugi! You could have been KILLED!" He hissed quietly, a crowd already staring at them, and angry drivers in near wrecks waving their fists. "And you've drawn attention to us!" Yugi looked at Ootogi, eyes still wide, and looking as though he were about to soil himself. "I'm ready to go home now." He whined, trembling pointing at the cars. "They tried to EAT me! Everything ALWAYS picks on the shorter one!" He said calming down, fear becoming spited anger.

Yugi huffed, finally calm. "I hate land sharks. More than the ones WE have to deal with...at least in the water I can swim away. These legs are wretched and slow..." he seethed, now feeling foolish compared to the unscathed Ootogi. "Are you quite finished now?" The raven haired merboy said, looking annoyed or bored or perhaps a combination of the two. "...You...YOU! You need to be eaten by a land shark!...you flaming asinine barnacle brained...just AGH!!" Yugi huffed, shoving Ootogi away, throwing his hands up and stomping off, following the crowd, which was now dispersing.

~~~~~

The day passed slowly, and Yugi and Ootogi wandered aimlessly looking for Ryou. There was just no way to find him in such a big city!

Yugi paused to rest and stared into a bar window. He grinned. "Oh...look at that Ootogi..." he said giggling a bit. Inside, was a band playing. Yugi listened and grinned beginning to bob his head in time with the music. "Mmm I love the sound of that! What is that wondrous device he's holding?!" Ootogi rolled his eyes. "What is it with you and music?" He grumbled sitting next to him while Yugi watched the guitarist.

"I can't help it. Listen!" He said doing a slight dance while sitting. "If I had one of those at home, I bet I would be the best musician in the sea!" Ootogi rolled his eyes again, his hormones were raging and he was irritable and here Yugi was, talking about that damn music again. "We're here to find Ryou, not stare at the music-makers."

Yugi was totally ignoring Ootogi however, listening to the lyrics. Ootogi groaned and got up, grabbing Yugi by his ear. "Come on you music-lover. We're here to find Ryou not to listen to music, rest time is over and it's time to look for him again."

"W-wait! They're not done! WAIT!" Yugi screeched.

~~~~~

Yugi pouted and walked behind Ootogi. "They weren't done..." he huffed. "Oh come on, what's more important? Ryou or music?" Yugi sighed. "Ryou..." he said softly. He shivered a bit, looking at the slowly setting sun. "We're never going to find him...the sun is setting..." he said softly catching himself gazing at Ootogi.

Yugi shivered and looked away. No. There was no way in all the oceans he'd mate with Ootogi. He was bossy, self centered, egotistical, insane, and he had a superiority complex that could have filled the entirety of the Pacific Ocean...but he did look good when the sun was setting...

`Oh no! NO! Yugi you stop this right now! He's a bastard who's always picking on you! He's irritating and annoying and bossy and you HATE him!' Yugi shouted to himself shaking his head and balling his hands into fists. `You stop letting those hormones do your thinking.'

Yugi's eyes drifted back to Ootogi's body. His back...his arms...his hair...it was all so sexy. `Gods damn it all!' He seethed to himself. `He doesn't even seem like he's being effected at all by mating season!' He screeched in his mind. `By the gods I wish Ryou were here!'

~~~~~

Ootogi closed his eyes a bit and took a deep breath. Night was falling, his body was practically singing in anticipation. He could feel Yugi's eyes on him; he could hear the smaller teen's breath. He shuddered and shook his head. `We're going to end up mating...damn it...' he grumbled. The moon was already in the sky, and they were in a populated area. Ootogi hissed and shivered, his body demanding he mate, and do it soon. He looked around desperately, looking relieved when he spotted an area that was almost completely unpopulated, a park. He turned and looked at Yugi quietly. "Yugi...I..." he mumbled shaking his head. Yugi sighed a bit looking down. "I know..."

"Well...what do you think?" He asked after a long awkward silence. "I...don't want to spend life alone...I...suppose I could deal with you." Ootogi laughed a bit. "Deal with me hm?" He said amused. Yugi rolled his eyes a bit, both walking towards the park. "Well...ok I suppose that was a bad way to phrase it. It...Wouldn't be so bad."

Ootogi nodded a bit, shivering again. "I don't think you'd be so bad...we'd always have something to talk about..." he said quietly. Yugi blushed a bit, slowly drawing closer to Ootogi. "It's...not like you're the worst mate to have..." Yugi whispered almost breathlessly.

~~~~~

Both teens seemed to glow in the moonlight, their thin figures accented and they found themselves gazing into each other's eyes as they walked...not paying attention to where they were going.

"Yugi..." Ootogi breathed, eyes becoming half lidded, as the moon continued to climb into the sky. They walked the park, completely lost in each other. Ootogi paused in the middle of a small bridge over a small pond. "Even though I've always acted like an ass to you...gods I love you..." he whispered pushing Yugi lightly against the railing of the bridge they'd stopped on. Yugi gasped and moaned softly. "Gods...I need you..." he mumbled shaking his head and pressing closer to Ootogi.

"Aegir you're so sexy..." Ootogi murmured leaning closer to Yugi, causing him to lean further back over the low-set wooden railing. "It's so beautiful here..." Yugi mumbled noticing the flowers blooming in the trees alongside the bridge, and the small almost Victorian styled bridge, before looking back to Ootogi's eyes.

They stared at each other for a brief moment. "I love you..." they both whispered longingly, and leaned into each other to kiss. Ootogi pressed Yugi further back, dominating the kiss quickly. Yugi gasped and began falling backwards gripping Ootogi, who fell with him, both deeply content to fall while kissing...

Yugi shivered and felt water rush over his body, and smiled into the kiss. They had sought out water...and somehow, in their lust had found it. His fins fanned out showing his bright crimsons, greens, oranges and blues. He moaned when Ootogi pulled away, the other teen's fins fanned out as well.

The water was warm, and comforting, Yugi pulled lightly away from Ootogi, who smiled looking over his soon to be life-mate. "You're so beautiful..." he whispered swimming closer to Yugi and taking both his hands and pushing them lightly above his head, as they sank to the bottom of the lake together.
