Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Unconditional Love - Yugioh ❯ I want to know NOW! ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2: I WANT TO KNOW NOW!!!

"How can I lie to him this way?" Yami thought guiltily. Here innocent little Yugi was believing everything he said and not one word of it even resembled the truth. But he couldn't confess…not now, anyway. Yugi would be crushed. Yugi was innocent, a sugar-sweet virgin freshman at Domino High. He hadn't even been properly kissed in his life! 'Poor kid. He has no idea what love is!' Yami though. 'I'll tell him that I love him someday soon. I have to. This secret even I can't keep hidden inside.'

"Good morning Yugi," greeted Grandpa as Yugi entered the kitchen. He walked over to the pantry and took his usual corn flakes cereal from the top shelf. (AN: Surprising he can even touch anything at the top.)

"Hello," replied Yugi.

"What's wrong, Yugi?"

"Oh, just a bad sleep."

"Oh, I see. You know you can go back to be if you want…"

"No," finished Yugi, "I need to get up early, remember?"

"Ah, yes."

He walked over to the fridge, grabbed the milk, and poured it into the bowl of cereal Grandpa had ready for himself. Then Yugi poured his own bowl.

"Thank you, Yugi," said Grandpa.

"No problem." He sat down in the chair opposite Grandpa and started digging in.

"Yugi…you're hiding something. What exactly happened?" Grandpa asked.

"I see you are not to be distracted," replied Yugi. "Well it started with my nightmare. It was so odd," Yugi started. He continued until he had told Grandpa everything that had happened.

"He TOUCHED you?" Grandpa questioned.

"Yes, but it was by accident, I'm sure of it."

"As long as you're not offended."

"He doesn't even know. And I'm not going to tell him just yet," said Yugi. Grandpa knew that he wanted it to fade away from his memory for now.

Yami got out of bed. Shuddering from leaving the warmth of the bed, he sped over to the bathroom. He slipped into the small room and closed the door behind him. Slipping off his clothes, he heard running water in the room where the shower was.

'Probably just Yugi washing his hands,' thought Yami. 'Just in case, I'll take this.' He picked up a towel from the shelf under the sink and used it to cover himself. He slid the door open and looked around.

'Strange,' he thought. He didn't see anybody but he still heard the running water. He didn't think that it was possible that Yugi was in the shower, because Yugi never showered in the morning. 'Oh well.' He dropped his towel and opened the shower door.

"AAHHHH!!!" Yugi and Yami yelled in unison. Yugi was in the shower, and there they stood, both naked as jaybirds, and both male. Yugi stepped over to shut the door, but he slipped on the watery surface of the shower floor. He went crashing down on Yami, knocking him over and falling hard on top of him. Then the door of the room crashed open to reveal a very shocked old man named Grandpa.

"You boys!!! What in heaven's name is going on here?"

"…" Yugi was speechless.

"It's not how it looks. I swear. Yugi was having a shower and I came in here to have a shower. I opened the door to see Yugi in the shower. He stepped over to shut the door, and he slipped, which landed us up like this," explained the embarrassed pharaoh.

"I see."

Yami rolled out form under Yugi. 'Why did he have to come in here?!' thought Yami angrily. He had nothing against the old man, but when he could have had a little fun with Yugi, it just wasn't fair.

"Well I'll leave you boys to sort this out and clean up this mess," said Grandpa. He obviously wasn't happy about the incident.

"Yes, Grandpa," said Yugi. Grandpa walked out of the room and slammed the door shut behind him. "My god will this ever end?" asked Yugi.

"Will what?" said Yugi innocently.

"Ooh…I was hoping you wouldn't ask that…" Yugi sighed. "Well earlier this morning, you touched, well, my place, and then you saw me naked after that, then you come in here and this happens…" Yugi explained.

"Oh. You're embarrassed?" asked Yami.

"Well, IT WAS embarrassing when you saw me naked, and Grandpa coming in here while we were on top of each other was very disturbing. I guess I don't really mind that we were in that position, just the fact that Grandpa saw us like that."

"You mean, you're OKAY with that?"

"It's not really something I want to happen, but if it happens again I won't be as embarrassed or shocked."

"Oh, okay. Darn." 'Gosh, I shouldn't have said that…'

"WHAT?" Yugi's eyes widened.

"Well, my hair is all screwed up. It never does that," Yami lied. 'Nice save.'

"Oh, I see…" Yugi said with a hint of suspicious in his voice. Yugi stood up and went back into the shower. "I'll call you when I'm done. Now cover yourself and hang out somewhere while you wait."

"Yugi, are you MAD at me?"

"Somewhat. I'll get over it."

"Okay, I'll be going then," said a hurt Yami. Picking up his towel once again and covering himself, he walked out and shut the door in a somewhat rash manner. As soon as the door was shut, Yugi spoke.

"This is going to be an awful day."

"Grandpa, where's the phone?" asked Yami.

"Over on the couch," Grandpa replied.

Yugi walked over to the couch and snatched the telephone from the leather surface. He dialled Bakura's number and walked to his room in the attic.

"Hello this is Bakura."

"Hey Bakura. This is Yami."

"Yami? You never phone me. Is something wrong?"

"With me, yes," replied Yami. He told Bakura everything that had happened.

"That is awfully strange," said Bakura.

"Isn't it," said Yami. It was not a question.

"I think perhaps Yugi is catching on," said Bakura.

"I hope not! I want to tell him, not him to figure it out."

"Well looks as if you need to sharpen your plan and make sure he stops his suspicion."

"Yeah. Did I tell you how I feel about Yugi?"

"No…"

"I-I love him," Yami stuttered.

"In what way?" asked Bakura.

"In THAT way."

"Oh dear."

/I'm done with my shower./

"Okay, Bakura, Yugi's finished his shower. I'm going to go have one. See ya," said Yami.

"Bye," finished Bakura. Yami hung up and turned to put the phone away to see Yugi facing him.

"And I wonder who that was?"

"Uh…Bakura…"

"Why Bakura? I didn't hear the phone ring. What did he want?"

"Yugi, I phoned Bakura."

"WHAT? You never phone anybody!"

"Well, I just did, so…"

"Well…what did you want to talk to him about?"

"I'd rather not go there."

Yugi eyed Yami suspiciously. "You're hiding something. You have been acting really weird lately. What is it, Yami?"

"Listen, let's talk another time. I want to have a shower." Yami turned and started walking down the hallway to the bathroom.

"Nuh-uh. Hold it. We're talking now."

"As if. I'm not telling you anything. Fuck off."

"DON'T talk to me that way. All I've ever been is kind to you. I deserve a break. Are you turning away from me? Do you hate me now? Am I being awkward?"

"No." 'I'm doing anything BUT ignore you…I'm trying to get closer. But your wall is not letting down.' "Let me have a shower, please."

"Uh-huh. But as soon as you get out.

"NO! I don't think now is the right time to talk to you about this particular subject. I'll tell you when we're BOTH ready. End of story. Now SHUT UP and let me have a god damn shower!" shouted an irritated Yami.

"This has something to do with me, doesn't it? I'm phoning Bakura!"

"You wouldn't."

"Oh, I would."

"I can't believe you," said Yami in disbelief. "I never make you tell me anything."

"Whatever. It's got to do with me. I want to know NOW."

Yami sighed angrily and stomped loudly down the hall. A tear slid down his face. 'How can he do this to me?'
