Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Bonds Of Yami And Hikari ❯ Odd feelings...? ( Chapter 3 )

Ano… Ok, My compy is yet again on the fritz. So, You'll have to excuse my lack of Review comments, because it says I have six, but I only see five @.@...

And now, on with the ficcy!

Disclaimers ~ I do not own it… It would be oddly different if I did…^_^;;

~*~

Quite. That was the only way to describe the dinner he had planned with Yuugi. After the questions were laid down… Yami wasn't even sure if he wanted to talk either.

~*~ I'm a flash back… *flashy flash* ~*~

"So… Yami-kun.."

Yami looked up at his name being called. Yuugi was slightly blushing still, but it stood out like red wine on a fresh white carpet. His eyes were downcast, and beads of sweat rolled down the flush cheeks. He looked as if he were boiling, with the two large sweaters and the pajama top Yuugi had on. Not to mention the blanket wrapped tightly around him while his hands rested in his plaid clad lap.

"Hn? What troubles you chibi ichi?" He placed his fork back into the plate, and looked at the boy in front of him. A small smile mixed with his usual serious expression, eyes intent on searching the violet orbs that had dared to look into his own.

"I… was wondering. What were… those pictures on your side table?" Yami paled considerately, but Yuugi didn't notice. His eye brows were furrowed, and his eyes were unfocused, staring into the jewel-like eyes at the other end of the table. "I mean, I didn't get to see them, but… I was just curious. Could I… Go back and see them?"

The dark one shook his head feverishly, Eyes wide, and he was sweating. To say he was nervous was an understatement. He was WAY beyond nervous, but… he was expecting this… dreading the moment for Yuugi to ask, what his job was, exactly.

And he couldn't be the one to tell him. No one would want to see the shocked and hurt look in the small ones eyes when told him… that he was… he was…

"But why not?"

Yami closed his eyes and sighed, He just couldn't do that to the little one. And those pictures meant a lot to him, so he couldn't very well just throw them away. He would just have to hide the truth until he thought the small one was ready to know.

"Because, Yuugi, They are… they just… are very important pictures to me… and I don't want anyone to look at them.. I'm sorry. I should have thought of that before I left."

Yuugi hid the hurt in his eyes very well. The man who had saved him, now one of his good friends, wouldn't trust him? Oh well… He shouldn't have gotten his hopes up.

(*authoress pauses and `awww'*)

Yami sensed his new friends discomfort and got up. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Yuugi's thin frame. Before he could say another word, the small one burst into tears, hiding his face into the leather shirt. They stayed like that for a bit before Yuugi slowed down the sniffles.

"Yuugi, what's… what is wrong? I do not understand…"
Yuugi looked up, and whimpered. Yami didn't realize that he had hurt his feelings?

"I'm sorry… I'm rather sensitive about my friends, especially when they say things… that *sniffle* hurt.."

Crimson eyes widened considerably. He… hurt Yuugi. He barely knew the child, but he.. felt an odd attraction towards the shy, cute, little one. Like he should protect him always, and hold him `till the sun did rise.

"Oh Yuugi… I'm sorry…"

"Don't be… I mean… it's not like you love me, or something. We're just friends, so what should it matter, right?"

`Woah, Where did that come from?' Yuugi thought as he stared at the floor. He didn't realize why he said that. He didn't like Yami like that… He like Anzu. That wonderful, beautiful, creature that had been his friend for quite some time. He couldn't like another guy, when he liked the girl of his dreams… right?

Bu du du dah! Bad me! How could I do that >< I just feel so.. unclean… writing her name. But she is an important part to my plot. So, no matter how much I dislike the cheerleader, I must keep her in my story -_-;

Sorry Anzu-fans, there will be ~ANZU BASHING~ later on in this fic of mine.

BaiBai now ^_^ And happy easter holidays!
