Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Exfoilation of Perenial Beings ❯ Chapter Three ( Chapter 3 )

~ ~ ~

Pagan Circles was alive with merriment and laughter and the beat of a live band. There was no entry fee so Yugi and Yami just walked right in and headed for the cafe at the back.

The place was teeming with people, a lot were dressed in dark colors, but there was quite a lot of vibrancy mixed in. It always reminded Yugi of a distorted jigsaw puzzle.

As Yugi led the way he felt a cool hand slide over his own. The boy startled and looked back at Yami who just winked and ended up leading them forward through the crush by their interlocked hands as Yugi was suddenly very shy.

Yugi found himself blushing; the feel of Yami's hand against his was nice and vaguely comforting. Yami led them to a table and let go of Yugi's hand. Yugi found himself missing the contact and blushed deeper before taking a seat and hiding his face behind a menu. Unfortunately the serving lady arrived quickly, they gave her their orders and she took the menus. Yugi was left to blush in the open.

"So, you were going to tell me your deepest, darkest school teacher secrets?" Yami prompted in a deep purr that sent shivers down Yugi's spine with the suggestive undertone.

Yugi tried not to blush, but ended up doing just that. Think about Setouh, think about Setouh he thought. He stopped blushing and managed to start talking in a semi-serious tone.

"Well, about a month ago this guy started stalking me, and well, it's not very nice or anything so um… I kind of stopped sleeping at night and started carrying blessed items."

Yami leaned closer to hear the boy. "Really? This guy… he a vampire?"

Yugi nodded. "I don't know what it is, but he just won't leave me alone. Like tonight, I got held back completing a paper for a seminar next week, and I was just going to go home when there the bastard was. I've never done anything to anyone to deserve being stalked. But yeah, that's my dirty little secret." And I just thought it was an almost good idea to tell a vampire slayer because well, I'm vindictive and I like the idea of no more Setouh, the cold little voice in the back of his head cheered.

Yugi met Yami's eyes briefly; those deep plum coloured eyes held slight mirth. "So, I've saved a high school teacher who is being stalked by a vampire, doesn't sleep at night and is the second closest person that looks identical to me from being nearly killed by vampires while out racing against me late at night." He summarized.

Yugi blushed and nodded, then frowned. "There's someone else who looks nearly identical to you? Us?"

"Of course, isn't it obvious?" Yami's tone had a somewhat devilish tease to it. If Yami were really a vampire slayer the idea that there was a sense of humour playing behind his words was strange to say the least. Usually people didn't take well to the fact that you were being stalked.

"Umm, no, not really."

Yami laughed and their food arrived.

Yugi blinked as he realized the two of them had been huddling over the table like two lovers sharing intimate whispers. Yugi waited until he had paid the lady before leaning back in and discretely kicking Yami under the table to prompt him. "Well, who else is there?"

Yami picked up one of Yugi's chips and held it before the smaller of the two's mouth. "Say ahh."

Yugi blushed and opened his mouth to nibble the chip.

"You're teasing me, aren't you?" He asked after swallowing.

"Yes, how'd you guess?"

"Ah! No distracting! Tell me, who else looks like you, or us, or… just spit it out you teaser!"

Yami laughed. "Me of course!"

Yugi scoffed and grinned well naturedly. "I can't believe this. Do you play with everyone you meet in life or death situations?"

Yami chuckled and picked up his hamburger. "Less talk. More eat."

Yugi rolled his eyes, at the same time grinning and set into his battered fish. He'd take that as a yes.

They ate in silence for a while until Yugi almost choked on a sip of coke when a foot brushed against his thigh.

After hitting his own chest a few times and wiping tears from his eyes he stared at Yami with his violet eyes. "I'm going to take a shot in the dark and ask if that's your foot on my thigh and are you coming on to me?" he could hardly keep the astonishment out of his voice when he asked.

"Oh never! Never, ever, Yugi! I mean, you've already got a stalker vampire, it would just be silly to think that someone might actually like you on the side."

"You realize that you are coming on to someone who looks exactly like you, don't you find that so… unsexy?"

"Unsexy? Why, I imagine it would be like masturbating, what could possibly be unsexy about that?"

Yugi blushed even deeper. "You're teasing me aren't you?"

Yami leaned forward with a grin. "And you're blushing is really cute. Really, you're prompting me to tease!"

Yugi groaned and coughed and thought about subject changers. "You still haven't told me what a marketing director for a motorbike company is doing out at," he checked his watch, "One in the morning hitting on a high school teacher?"

Yami chuckled. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Not really."

"I'm here to pick up hotties."

Yugi laughed. "Do you say that to everyone you pick up?"

"Ohh, so I've picked you up now, have I? Can I take you home and buy a leash?"

"Something makes me think you've already got a leash." Yugi, said aloud, despite it having been an interruption from the little voice in the back of his head.

"You're right actually." Yami chuckled as Yugi blushed deeper. "So, can I?"

"Can you what?" Yugi asked confused.

"Take you home and buy a leash? You can sleep at the bottom of my bed if you're good."

"Why don't you get yourself a puppy and it can sleep with you?"

"Because you're cuter and dogs aren't allowed in my house."

"Why not?"

"Why not, what?"

"Why aren't dogs allowed?"

"Because they dig up the yard and don't hug back."

The both of them started laughing.

Yugi leaned back and finished off his fish and chips.

"It's funny how different you are to me, Yami-san, I would think we would be a like in more then just appearance, but you're so direct." Yugi commented.

"And you're so formal, Yugi-kun. Don't you ever just relax and go with the flow?"

"The flow usually involves getting attacked by creepy crawlies." Yugi said offhandedly.

Yami quirked an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

Yugi shrugged. "Vampires and undead are attracted to me. I think it's because I smell of death or something."

"You smell of death?"

Yugi blushed and took off his coat, rolling up the sleeve of his jumper to reveal a tattoo of the eye of Ra. "I'm the local Protector for the school."

"Protector? I've never heard of them."

"Well, you haven't been in Japan long have you? It's meant to be introduced globally soon, but so far only some of Japan has made the program. Basically we keep the students out of trouble with undead. A lot of crawlies enjoy young blood and like to bewitch highschoolers. When I was born my mother was real fanatical about that sort of thing not happening to me so she had a whole coven of Wicca's cast blesses on my eyes. There is not a psychic thing alive that can control my mind through my eyes. But I'm also null to magic, I could be slapped in the face with psychic swords and I would never see it coming. She would have been devastated to hear that I agreed to be Protector of the local high school, but I have an advantage, so I use it."

"Is that why the vamp from earlier wasn't able to take you under?" Yami asked, thoroughly interested.

Yugi nodded. "Yeah. It's also why I have a vampire stalker, I think that if I were able to be taken under I would have been dead ages ago."

Yami nodded, taking the information pretty well. "So the tattoo of the eye of Ra identifies you to authorities in case someone dies and you can tell them information, so they'll take it to heart?"

"Yep. What are the vampires like in Egypt?"

Yami frowned and thought about that. "They're not really a problem over there, sure we get news about people going missing with the uncovery of new tombs and stuff, but there aren't mass massacres or anything. I suppose it's because they're more concerned with money over there."

Yugi laughed. "All vampires are problems Yami; it will just take society a long time before they realize it."

"You sound bitter." Yami commented, taking a sip of his coke.

"I am." Yugi looked away before thinking of a new subject. "So, what does a marketing advertising director do?" He asked on a new note.

"Well, I've never been sure. I just tell everyone below me what to do and write out plenty of paperwork."

They both laughed softly and Yugi managed not to jump when Yami's foot rubbed against his thigh again.

"Yami. You're not the least bit put out that I'm a strange kind of person are you?"

"Let me think about that… nope."

Yugi chuckled and leaned back in his chair, subtly dislodging Yami's foot with his movement.

"You don't get out much, do you, Yugi?"

Yugi shook his head. "Not many people are interested in me for more then my brains or my blood."

Yami leaned closer, setting his elbows on the table and letting his foot rub against Yugi's calves.

"Well, let's make this very simple. I would like to have sex with you tonight. Possibly multiple times. Then in the morning I would like to make you breakfast and talk with you some more and then head off to work. Not because I want your blood, or your brain, or your body, but because I like you, you're a good person; you being utterly adorable is only a fringe benefit."

Yugi turned bright red and went very still. "That's… very…very…"

"Direct?"

Yugi gave the barest of nods.

"I like being direct. It means people don't get the wrong impression of what I'm after." Yami's plum eyes were watching him like a hawk.

Yugi swallowed and used both hands to lift his cup and drink from it. Not that his body wasn't suddenly jelly like.

Yami's cool hands slid under the smaller of the two's chin and lifted it until they were looking eye to eye.

"What do you think?"

Yugi was very, very bright red. His voice squeezed itself out, small and squeaky. "Ithinkmaybethatwouldbeokay."

Yami laughed and stood.

"Well then, come on, you're going to have to lead the way back to your place."

Yugi slipped back into his coat and nodded.

This time when Yami took his hand and lead him through the crowd he didn't protest.

As they stepped out into the night air and headed for their parked bikes Yami turned and slipped a hand around Yugi's waist. The taller of the two leaned in closer.

"Can I have a taste of things to come?"

Yugi blinked, bright blush still evident on his face.

Yami smiled and drew them closer until only their breathing separated them.

Yugi let his eyes slide shut as Yami's cool lips descended on his. He opened his mouth partially enjoying the feel of the wet tongue that invaded him. It had been too long since he last let someone dominate his mouth like this. Yami was very talented with his lips and tongue, drawing Yugi's warm pink tongue out until he was suckling on the flesh. Yugi shivered and pressed closer against Yami, it was as if Yami's core body temperature was lower than the average person, or Yugi was starting to heat up. Yugi could taste Yami, like some strange tease to his senses; the taste was that of cream, whipped cream.

Yami's hands smoothed down Yugi's back, and over the smaller's ass, teasing the firm muscles with expert hands. Yugi whimpered, one hand slipping over Yami's collar bone and sliding against the back of Yami's neck.

Yami pulled back after a few moments.

"Mm, delicious." The Egyptian whispered against Yugi's mouth.

Yugi blushed. "You tease!"

"I know, but isn't it exciting?"

Yugi blushed harder and chose to slip his helmet on instead of justifying the question with an answer.
