Chapter Thirteen

 

It was now Christmas Eve and the group of friends sat in the waiting room. No one spoke they all sat and watched the news channel and the news just seemed to be very grim today.

 

Yugi thumbed the velvet box in his pocket as he looked at the somber faces of his friends and Jii-chan.

 

He noticed Seto was not there in the waiting room. He then remembered Kaiba saying something about going to get some coffee, but that had been well over and hour and a half ago.

 

Yugi stood and glanced at jii-chan.

 

“I'm going to go get something to drink. I will be back here soon.” He spoke softly, jii-chan just nodded as Yugi walked out.

 

Yugi got a coke from the lady at the counter and thanked her as he offered a small smile and decided to go and try to find Seto since he was not in the cafeteria.

 

Walking from the cafeteria down a long hallway with many windows Yugi noticed Seto standing and staring out the window.

 

He carefully made his way over toward him, not wanting to scare him.

 

He came to stand right next to Kaiba and looked at the darkening clouds and the few snow flurries that had already started.

 

Finally after a few minutes Seto broke the silence.

 

“I love him.”

 

Yugi turned his head toward Seto and saw tear stained cheeks.

 

“I know.” Yugi answered tears starting to form once again in his eyes.

 

Seto turned towards Yugi.

 

“I remember everything.” He paused and once again turned to look outside.

 

Yugi looked at him and blinked. He wondered why he was saying this and where he was going with it.

 

“I remember Ancient Egypt. I know the love Atemu and I or Seth felt for each other. I also remember Atemu's death and how heartbroken Seth was.” Seto paused as he looked at Yugi who had tears in his eyes.

 

“Seth made the tablet with Atemu and him in a remembrance of the Pharaoh and his bond with his High Priest.” Seto sighed as he slumped down in one of the many chairs.

 

“I loved him then and I love him now, but I feel as though I have failed him in both lives.”

 

“Seto, this couldn't have been changed and you know this. Yami is strong and a fighter and you cannot tell me different.” Yugi spoke more tears streaming from his eyes.

 

“He will make it for you, me, and all his friends. He will never give up as long as he has a fighting chance and there is hope.”

 

Seto looked up and was amazed at how much Yugi had changed. He was so much like Yami, strong willed, intelligent and hopeful when all seemed grim.

 

“Thank you Yugi, for reminding me of that.” Seto stood.

 

“Come on let's go see Yami.” Seto was about to walk off when Yugi grabbed his wrist.

 

“Wait I need to give you something.” Yugi pulled out the dark blue velvet box.

 

Seto looked puzzled as Yugi spoke again. “Since no one is around I need to tell you something and also give you this.”

 

Yugi placed the small box in Seto's hand.

 

“Yesterday when the accident happened.” He paused as he tried to keep calm.

 

“Yami wanted me to give you this and to tell you….he loved you and that he was sorry.” Yugi finished as tears started to roll out of his amethyst eyes.

 

Seto looked at Yugi, his eyes also brimming with tears. He opened the box and gasped, it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

 

A white gold band with sapphires lining the top as he picked it up he noticed the hieroglyphs on the inside. He was amazed that he could read them. `Love You my Priest'.

 

Seto now let the tears fall as he slipped the band on his right ring finger.

 

He embraced Yugi and whispered. “Thank You.”

 

Yugi rubbed comforting circles on his back as he let more tears fall. A horrible thought ran through his mind as he leaned against Seto. If Yami didn't make it not only would his life never be the same but Seto's would fall apart too.

 

Seto pulled back with hands still resting on Yugi's shoulders. “Now let's go see how our Pharaoh is.”

 

Yugi nodded as they made their way back to the intensive care unit.

 

 

In room 321 crimson eyes fluttered open and quickly shut again when a sharp pain ran through his head. More slowly this time Yami opened his eyes and saw nothing but white.

 

The walls and ceiling were white and a very sanitary smell invaded his senses. He looked around as much as he could and noticed a huge window that was letting some of the light through, but not mush since it was such a dreary day.

 

His whole body screamed in pain as he tried to sit up to get a better look at his surroundings. He could hear a constant beeping sound, then lifted up his hand and saw a small amount of blood and a tube running from his hand to what he did not know.

 

He then heard a noise and turned his head and tried to see what had caused it.

 

The door opened and he noticed two silhouettes one tall and the other rather short. He tried strain his eyes to see who they were, but he couldn't focus on much of anything and it caused his head to hurt worse. So he just lay staring at the door until they began to move closer.

 

They approached the bed and the smaller of the two leaned over.

 

“Yami.” The voice sounded like an angel and Yami noticed it immediately.

 

// Aibou. // Yami said through mind link

 

“Yeah it me and Seto his here too.” He spoke softly in his darks ear as Seto stepped to Yami's other side and took his hand.

 

Yami tried to talk, but all that came out was a pained gag. He looked up at Seto pain and confusion showed in the crimson eyes.

 

“You have a breathing tube in that is causing you to not be able to speak.” Seto spoke squeezing Yami's hand a little as to not hurt him.

 

// Aibou //

 

\\ Yes Yami \\

 

// I love you my hikari //

 

\\ I love you as well my dark \\

 

// Tell Seto that I love him //

 

Yugi nodded to his dark then looked up at Seto.

 

“Yami told me to tell you that he loves you.” Yugi repeated as Yami looked into Seto's sapphire eyes.

 

“I love you as well koi.” Seto placed a kiss on Yami's cheek.

 

// What happened and why am I here? // Yami questioned his hikari.

 

“Jou, you and I were in a car wreck.” Yugi spoke as he tried to stop the tears from coming.

 

// Are you and Jou alright? //

 

“Yeah just a few bumps and bruises, but you saved us.”

 

// I remember some but most of it is a blur. //

 

“You made the car spin and the truck hit your side instead of mine and Jou's.” Yugi said as tears came to his eyes and he let them fall.

 

Seto and Yugi noticed that Yami clenched his eyes shut and gave a small groan.

 

“Yami do you need anything?” Seto asked as he ran a hand through Yami's hair.

 

// So much pain. //

 

“He's in a lot of pain.” Yugi looked up at Seto with watery amethyst eyes.

 

“I will get the nurse.” Seto said as he stood and walked out of the room.

 

Yugi sat and watched as his dark kept his eyes clenched from the pain and was gripping his hand with as much strength a he could muster.

 

Moments late Seto and the nurse walked into the room.

 

The nurse turned some sort of clamp that was on one of the many tubes and reached over and pressed a button that was lying beside Yami.

 

“There I opened the morphine drip a little so that it would help with the pain.” She smiled at Yami and then turned to us.

 

“The morphine will make him tired to he may not be too coherent for much longer, but you may stay as long as you like until the doctor makes his rounds after visiting hours.” She smiled and then walked out the door.

 

After a few moments Yami opened his eyes slightly and looked over at Seto.

 

“Did that help with the pain?” Seto asked as he laid his hand on Yami's shoulder.

 

He nodded in response then looked over at his hikari and noticed the pained expression on his face.

 

He squeezed Yugi's hand in a comforting gesture and closed his eyes and let out a small sigh.

 

“What is it Yami?” Yugi leaned closer to his dark.

 

// Tired //

 

“Get some rest Yami we will be right here if you need us.” Yugi spoke as he leaned back into the chair. Seto pulled up a chair and sat down beside Yami's bed.

 

Both Seto and Yugi sat in silence as they watched Yami sleep and soon they both drifted off as well.

 

 

 

 

Yami is my favorite character but I love torturing him.

 

I know I'm a little morbid.
