Chapter 4

Returning Memories

Yugi awoke soundly when the dawn's first light shone in through his blinds. His eyes fluttered opened and he sat up in lethargic manner. The covers from his bed pooled around his waist as he stretched out his lithe form. "What a strange dream... Who were those people? And where's Yami? I could have sworn...'

"Right here aibou." a voice stated from somewhere near Yugi's ear.

"AH!" Yugi jumped in surprise and almost fell out of his bed, but was saved from the nasty spill when strong arms wrapped around him.

"Careful now little one... I wouldn't want my aibou hurt before the morning has even begun." Yami said as he deposited Yugi back on his bed. His hikari just nodded.

"Well... just don't do that anymore..."

"What do you mean do that?" Yami asked confused.

"That creepy sneaky thing you do... please don't do it anymore okies?" Yami, still slightly confused, simply gave a quick nod and smiled to try and hide his confusion. Not one of those competitive cocky smiles, but a soft gentle one. The kind he only shared with Yugi when they were in private. He opened his mouth to whisper something into his hikari's ear when a loud rap from the other side of the door decided otherwise for him. Both jumped feeling kind of guilty. 'Guilty?' they both wondered.

"Yugi!" Grandpa's voice came from behind the chestnut wood of the door. A small squeak escaped Yugi as he watched the doorknob turn in a slow fashion, signifying his Grandfather was about to enter.

"Quick! H-hide!!!" Yugi squawked becoming flustered at the situation. This was not good. Yugi's grandfather still had no clue that Yami existed... and the sight of two Yugi's before him might have horrible results... The door creaked open, it's hinges screaming to be oiled. Yami froze at the sound.

With Yami currently immobile, Yugi took matters into his own hands. Thinking quickly, Yugi grabbed Yami's arm and shoved him down onto the bed. Yami was about to protest loudly before Yugi sealed the yell with his cupped hand. Covers where thrown over the both of them as Yugi fidgeted to get comfortable sitting on his yami to hide him. Said yami, was not pleased...

"What the fuc-!"

"Shush!" Yugi silenced putting on a grin.

"Yugi...?" Grandpa asked again. Had he just heard two different voices?

"U-uh Grandpa! Good morning!" Yugi stammered unable to hide his uneasiness, the good morning was to throw his grandpa off.

"Ah. Yugi..." Soloman Motou fully entered his room now, having dismissed the stupid thought that his grandson, his grandson mind you, was trying to hide something from him. The old man turned and offered a smile. Even if if Yugi wasn't hiding anything from him... something felt... off.

"Yu!-uhm!" Yami tried to speak once more, disobeying Yugi's request. He was rewarded with more pressure on his poor aching back as Yugi bounced once to re-establish his weight on Yami. //Aibou!?!? What!? What are you doing!?!?// he sputtered, with slight anger present, through their link.

"Hu~ush..." Yugi whispered fiercely through his teeth. Grandpa quirked an eyebrow at his grandson's odd behavior.

"What did you say Yugi?"

"Uh... uhm! Nothing Grandpa! What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Yugi asked in a slightly rushed manner.

'Why rushed?' Soloman wondered. "Well, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind watching the shop for the weekend. You see, there's going to be a big gaming convention this weekend in Tokyo. I've decided to go there and look around for anything new. Perhaps some new rare cards, order some more packets of duel monsters cards for the shop... hey, maybe I'll even browse through what's new in the gamer world!" Grandpa gushed to Yugi.

"Uh-huh! Sure Grandpa!"

"Alright then. I'm going to go to the store to get some last minute things and groceries for you. Please watch the shop after you've gotten dressed and eaten breakfast." Grandpa turned and went to walk out the door when yet another awkward sound reached his ears. Yugi must have been hiding something!

"OW!!!"

Soloman spun around and looked at his grandson who was currently shifting around in a huge bunch of covers. "Are you okay Yugi?" he asked his Grandson. The covers shifted some more. Yugi head appeared out from underneath them and giggled stupidly.

"Eh heh... I just hit my hand on the headboard... that's all! No worries!" he tried to reassure his suspicious grandfather. Grandpa just gave him an odd look and nodded. He walked out and shut the door, disregarding anything he thought he might have seen.

"I swear... I must be getting so old I'm starting to hear and see things!" he muttered under his breath as he walked down the steps to the shop's exit.

* * * Back in the room * * *

As soon as the door shut completely, Yami shoved both his aibou and the covers off of himself. He laid sprawled out on the bed, his limbs kind resembling limp noodles... He opened his mouth and gasped for fresh air. Yugi rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He could only offer a weak smile and an apology.

"I'm really sorry Yami... It's just that..." he trailed off.

//It's just that what!? You almost incapacitated me!!!!// he shouted through their link, his anger unhidden from Yugi for once. He continued to glare at the bed sheets and try and catch his breath. Yugi shrank back from his yami physically, but continued none the less.

"Well... Grandpa still doesn't know about you yet. And well..." he mumbled, beating around the bush some more. "I didn't want you to startle him or anything. Seeing another me sitting with me would probably creep him out... and he is old you know... It wouldn't have been good for his heart." Yugi explained with head hanging down.

//You mean...// Yami deciphered for the both of them, //you didn't want me to give him a heart attack?// he finished on a note that contained a drop of sarcasm.

"Basically." Yugi agreed, looking up to meet Yami gaze. Yami had stopped gasping for air, but still had a rather un-amused look on his face. "I'm... sorry..." Yugi apologized again.

//I think I'm going to start sleeping in late from now on to avoid your grandfather... I am not looking forward to a repeat of today.// Yami stated, removing his glare and replacing it with a look of empathy.

"I'll tell Grandpa about you soon. I promise." Yugi swore, feeling a little better since Yami's anger had boiled over.

//You know aibou...// Yami stated thoughtfully, //you can be heavy when you want to be.// Yugi flushed red at the remark. //I think you rearranged my back for me.//

"Sorry..."

//Don't be... You didn't do it on purpose...//

"Thanks Yami."

//Don't mention it.// Yugi let out a sigh of relief that turned into a yawn. He threw his arms over his head again to finish stretching.

"We better get dressed now if we're going to watch the store for Grandpa right? He's probably left already." Yugi pushed himself off of the bed, his body somewhat reluctant to leave it's warmth. Walking over to the closet, a strange thought occurred to him. "Hey Yami?"

"Yes?"

"Why are you already dressed and I'm not?" he asked, noting he was still in boxers and Yami was wearing their usual black tank-top and leather pants.

"Because..." Yami said as he sat up on the bed. "You sleep too late and I felt the need to get dressed."

"I know, but how?"

"I went in there." Yami pointed towards the closet doors. Yugi's eyes widened.

"You mean to tell me, you raided my closet!?"

"Pretty much."

"Ya-! Uhm... hmph... Nevermind... any suggestions?" He turned around opening the doors expecting a mess. Surprisingly though, it was still neat. But he was sure his usual tank top and black pants weren't gonna be there, he opted for second best.

"Anything but cot-" Yami was about to finish his though when Yugi turned around to show him his chosen outfit.

"How's this?" Yugi held up a red cotton t-shirt with a picture of sailor moon on it in his right hand. He'd gotten it at an anime convention he'd gone to with Joey. It had the words 'Frisky?' printed below it. In his left hand he held up some slightly baggy black pants that read 'JNCO' on the right back side pocket. Yami pretended to retch at the site of those garments.

"Blech... Yugi... they're... cotton!" he hissed out the last word like it was something unspeakable. "I refuse to wear that!"

"You don't have to. You're already dressed." Yugi reasoned as he dug in another drawer for some clean boxers.

"But I'll be wearing that if I return to the puzzle!" Yami countered.

"Then don't go back in the puzzle." Yugi said as he walked over to the shut door.

"B-but I have to at some point!" Yami whined.

"Well... then tough!" Yugi said as he walked towards the bathroom door.

"B-but!" Yami followed like a kicked puppy.

"Yami, it's just cotton... in fact, I think it's more comfortable than leather... besides... you need some variety in your life. Or else you're gonna turn into a leather addict. I'm gonna shower now. I'll be done in about ten minutes." Yugi stated simply as he shut the bathroom door. Yami groaned. He was doomed!

'How can the Gods still hate me!?' he groused alone as he walked down the hall back towards Yugi's room. "Dammit it all to the underworld!" he grumbled. The bathroom door slammed open and Yugi appeared in the hallway to glare at Yami.

"Don't swear Yami! I heard that!" he shouted down the hall at Yami's back. Yugi then pulled his head back into the bathroom and shut the door once more.

Yami stood stunned in the hallway a moment longer. 'Oh, he's good.'
