Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Soak up the Sun ❯ Forbidden ( Chapter 10 )

Soak up the Sun

 

Chapter Ten

 

Darkness, something that frightened Yugi since childhood yet called his lonely soul at the same time.

 

Pitch black clouds covered the sky, signifying the world of the early hours of nightfall.

 

Rain continued to plummet down upon the over soaked city of Domino. Street lights and the sounds of echoing car horns passed through the heart of the town. Everyone was curled up in their beds, snuggling into an array of soft cocooned blankets. Well all except for Yugi.

 

Apartment “555” sat quietly, enjoying the ritualistic darkness of the night. Clothes of many types covered the floor, ranging from leather to denim jeans. Yes, the normal arrangement that held the capacity of the room's fluffy beige carpet.

 

A low artificial glow outlined two blanket covered figures upon the large ebony couch. Bluish gold light poured out from the television screen, displaying images of a music video on MTV.

 

A group of five teenaged men stood profoundly, playing various musical instruments as the group faded. A young woman and a male acquaintance walked around a large water fountain, speaking to one another animatedly as a low upbeat song played within the background.

 

“Beauty queen of only eighteen…”

 

The song continued to echo through the TV's speakers, slowly awakening the occupants of the couch.

 

A groan erupted through the air. A small lump upon the cushiony couch shifted uneasily, attempting to become fully awake.

 

Sleep hazed amethyst jewels opened, gazing around the room through half lidded perspectives.

 

A strange sense of worry flashed through the teen's eyes as reality crashed down upon the small teen.

 

Yugi Mutou cooed, yawning softly as he rubbed his eyes. Everything from the previous hours replayed through his mind, causing a faint blush to paint across his soft toned cheeks.

 

After their newly reached point of reality in a relationship, both teens found themselves watching anime DVDS. Yugi's mind wandered over onto the truth of the situation.

 

How long had he and Yami been asleep?

 

His large child-like eyes fell onto a digital clock, blinking as the red numbers appeared. The large digitized numbers of three a.m. flashed, causing his worry to grow.

 

Yugi had to return home soon, already deep in shit by leaving the blond brat “Rebecca” alone.

 

His senses eased, allowing him to make his decision of “operation get home before your grandfather kicks your ass.”

 

He shifted onto his back, slowly pulling himself up or so he thought. Strong arms wrapped themselves securely around his thin waist, pulling him back into the confines of cloud nine.

 

The teen rolled his eyes throwing the large fleece blanket off of his body, glaring at his “bedmate.”

 

Yami lay curled on his side facing Yugi. His narrowed angular crimson eyes lidded by dark lashes held his hardened features. Muscle toned legs clad in leather curled together, drawing his knees into his chest. Arms of tanned Egyptian descent wrapped themselves around Yugi's waist, spooning the smaller form into that of bipolar Yami.

 

So in other words, Yugi was screwed. Twenty minutes had passed by since he awoke.

 

Yugi's brow's knitted, furrowing in udder disdain as he attempted to wiggle free from the other's possessive grip.

 

The sounds of “She will be loved” played continuously within the background, annoying Yugi to no end.

 

The time continued to pass by fairly quickly as Yugi finally came up with a solution to his present conflict.

 

His amethyst eyes danced with mischief as he freed his arms from Yami's grip, carefully trailing his fingertips upon the others tanned skin, snaking closely towards the other's sides. The fingers pressed into Yami's slim hips, caressing them as he smiled and awaited the next reaction.

 

The arms around his small frame loosened, running towards the aide of the hips, allowing the small teen a chance at freedom.

 

The sixteen - year- old's thin body pulled free, now sitting up as he yawned.

 

Unknown to Yugi, crimson eyes watched from the sidelines in complete amusement.

 

His Yugi was just too cute for words.

 

A genuine smile graced his lips, emitting a low baritone chuckle.

 

Yugi's posture tensed, eyes narrowing as a hand traced down his lower back.

 

Yami smirked, laughing merrily as Yugi smiled timidly.

 

“Hello Aibou. What are you doing up at this ungodly hour?” Yami asked.

 

 

Yugi sighed as he pulled Yami's hand off of his lower back, nuzzling his cheek into the calloused appendage.

 

“Well after fighting to get free from your death grip, I was going to head home. My grandpa is going to literally kill me when I do though.”

 

The older teen frowned sadly as the playful mood ceased. His eyes opened fully, now focused on his new found lover.

 

“I'm sorry Yugi. I didn't know that you had a curfew. If you want I'll give you a lift back to the game shop.”

 

The small artist smiled, continuously caressing the calloused hand with his soft cheek. “It's my fault Yami. I was supposed to baby sit that young girl that you saw me talking to.”

 

The older blinked. “You left a little girl all by herself?”

 

A small bead of sweat rolled down Yugi's forehead as he gently wiped it away.

 

“Well your wellbeing is far more important to me Yami.”

 

Crimson eyes glazed over, visibly softening around the edges. “Well I guess it's time to get you home my aibou?”

 

Yugi nodded, standing up as Yami questioned him again.

 

“Are you ready to face your angry grandfather?”

 

Yugi shook his head, running his fingers through his hair.

 

“I'm so screwed.”

 

───â ;”€â”€â”€â”€ ───â”&# 8364;───âR 21;€â”€â”€â”€â ;”€â”€â”€â”€ ─

 

A clock ticked. Second by second as it passed the arrangement sequence of twelve. Its hands directly locked onto five a.m.

 

Angered plum eyes blinked, absent mindedly staring upon the large grandfather clock within view. Said owner of eyes grunted, running his fingers over onto the orange bandana on top of his unruly gray hair.

 

He was worried, very worried. Yugi had been gone for hours, leaving no trace of his whereabouts.

 

He was shaken from his weary thinking as a jingling sound echoed through the living room, or better yet the game shop.

 

The aging Mutou stood cautiously as he walked into the pitch black store.

 

Noises continued to play through the small store, all leading towards one spot: the front door.

 

Sugoroku's eyes darted on the door, watching it as the handle shook. Someone was trying to get in.

 

The old man shook his head, shuffling across the tiled flooring, unlocking the door as his face fell into that of a scowl.

 

The man's teenaged grandson stumbled, falling into the foyer of his home.

 

Yugi clenched his eyes shut, hissing as he felt the impact of his fall.

 

His attention diverted as his grandfather cleared his throat.

 

Amethyst eyes locked onto wise mature plum.

 

Yugi smiled sheepishly as he pulled himself up, dusting off his jacket in the process.

 

“Uhm, h-hi Grandpa,” Yugi stuttered.

 

Sugoroku rolled his eyes, tapping his foot impatiently. “Stop it Yugi. You are in so much trouble that you won't see the light of day until you're thirty-five.”

 

Guilt sunk into his heart and soul like a knife through butter.

 

“I'm sorry. I know that I'm screwed and that you're mad grandpa. But I have a reason for returning home so late.”

 

The older Mutou growled, muttering things incoherently under his breath.

 

“Explain it later, it is very early Yugi. Oh and before I forget, you are grounded for the next two weeks. Do you understand?”

 

The small teen nodded, bestowing his head as he stalked up the stairs yawning.

 

`Today is never going to end.'

 

───â ;”€â”€â”€â”€ ───â”&# 8364;───âR 21;€â”€â”€

 

Cheerful melodies of an older man hovered through the air, meeting the deaf ears of Yugi.

 

The teen currently slept on the floor, snoring lightly as he shifted onto his side absent mindedly sucking his thumb.

 

 

Light poured into the small second story window, bathing onto the unmade bed that Rebecca had slept in.

 

Rays of many danced upon the floor, all outlining Yugi's slumbering body.

 

A small smile graced his lips as he nuzzled his pillow, only to feel a surge of cold strike his once warm body.

 

Yugi's amethyst eyes opened, blinking profusely as a high pitched yelp escaped his lips.

 

“AAHHHHHHHHH, what the hell was that?” he yelled, now jumping around the floor like a fish out of water.

 

The scene continued to play out as a fit of giggles erupted from Yugi's bed.

 

His actions stopped as stared at the cause of the conflict, Rebecca.

 

The small ten-year-old girl giggled happily, clutching her stomach in desperation.

 

“What the heck was that for Rebecca?” Yugi pouted, now noticing a cup that sat by his make shift bed.

 

The girl's emerald eyes sparkled in the sunlight, sporting a sense of innocence and mirth.

 

“Heh that is payback for leaving me alone yesterday Yugi, You're grandpa told me I could pour water on you.”

 

The small teen groaned blowing a stray matted blond bang from his face as Rebecca left the room.

 

“Dang that girl is crazy.”

 

Yugi then proceeded to take a shower. His small hands fiddled with the taps, adjusting the water temperature as he soaked his head under the warm spray.

 

`Ahh, this is so much better, now if only Yami were here it would be even better.' Yugi thought, only to feel his blood rush to the lower regions of his body.

 

“Crap, I better keep my hormones under check.”

 

The rest of the day went by fairly smoothly for all in the Mutou household. Well all except for Yugi.

 

The small teen sat unhappily within his room gazing out the window as tears cascaded down his cheeks.

 

His grandfather added a new set of punishments to his already unable to leave the house for two weeks.

 

Flash back

 

Sugoroku glared at his young sixteen year old grandson as a sense of anger grew wildly within his heart.

 

“Yugi, I know that you were at Yami's last night and for that I have come to a conclusion for this matter.”

 

The small teen stared transfixed at his hands, nodding his head as his grandfather continued.

 

“Yugi, I am forbidding you to see this Yami character.”

 

Shocked amethyst eyes glared up at the older man, mouth agape in the manner of a sea bass.

 

“Why? That's not fair Grandpa! You don't even know him!”

 

Sugoroku groaned, standing up as he walked towards Yugi's door.

 

“I know enough about him Yugi, and I forbid you from seeing him again. Do I make myself clear?”

 

The artist closed his eyes, nodding sadly as the old man departed from the confinements of his room.

 

End of flashback

 

Yugi's eyes narrowed. His body tensed with each movement he made to leave the protection of his bed.

 

He was determined to defile his grandfather's orders as he opened his window, climbing out as he balanced on a tree branch. Seconds later he jumped, landing skillfully on the ground as he ran into the night.

 

Droplets of rain hit his lightly clothed body.

 

“No one can ever separate me from Yami.”

 

With that said, Yugi ran down into the heart of the city, hoping to find comfort within the arms of the one person that he was forbidden to see.

Finally I got this chapter out. I hope this was interesting and was a little longer.

 

luvingYAMI: Thanks for the review and sorry that I confused you so much with the conflicts of Yami's past and Yugi's budding talents in art. Well after thinking long and hard and getting it down on paper I have finally gotten Yami's entire tragic past ready to reveal in a future chapter. I can't really answer your question as to why Yami is so upset over the art and the heartbreaking words of Yugi telling Rebecca that he didn't love him. Though I can say this, Yami's past is intertwined with that of what Yugi is good at and has had a tragic thing happen to him when he was younger that will lead up to his bipolar attitude. Hope that helps and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.

 

And to everyone else, thank you for reading and for the reviews, I really appreciate it. Next update will probably be up maybe by the weekend or by next week.

 

Also, I usually do cover art for my fics but I was wondering if there are any artists out there who wouldn't mind drawing a pic for this fic, with your favorite scene or something? I hate to ask but im sort of curious to see what you guys can do.

 

Preview of next chapter:Yugi has headed off to find Yami and comfort for his broken heart as both share a small moment of peace together as Yami learns more of Yugi's passion to become a famous artist.
