“Yami,”
“Yugi,”
Blushing furiously, Yugi cleared his throat, not really knowing what to say now. Why, why had he done that? He just had to kiss him; he just had to. Now his Yami probably hated him. Why did he have to be so stupid?
‘Now he probably hates me and thinks I’m disgusting,’ Yugi mentally cried, feeling tears sting his eyes as he stared at his darkness, before he ducked his head in shame.
Yami wanted to kick himself so bad right now. Why, why the hell had he done that? He was going to talk to his aibou, try to explain his feeling, but that plan was shot to hell now.
‘’Great, just fucking great, now aibou’s probably afraid of me and wants me to leave, just fucking great,’’ Yami mentally cursed, his fist gripping at his sides in anger and self-hatred.
Glancing up at Yugi, Yami cringed at the tears that were slowly making their way down Yugi’s soft cheeks.
He wanted nothing more then to go over to his light and wipe his tears away, soothe his most likely frightened light, but he knew very well that the best thing to do right now was not to touch the small hikari, not after what he did.
“Aibou I-“
“I love you Yami,”
Yami stared in disbelief as those simple words rang in his ears, swirling in his head, repeating over and over again in his jumbled mind.
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…
“Wha…. what,” Yami stammered, his voice refusing to work properly as he gazed at his aibou, who was now looking down in what appeared to be shame and fear.
“I love you Yami,” Yugi whispered, his sunlight blonde bangs covering his shimmering amethyst eyes, making him look fragile, and vulnerable, like a small kitten to a hungered dog.
“I… I didn’t realize it until…. until after you left for the afterlife…. And by then it was too late,” Yugi whispered, his voice so low and soft that Yami had to strain just to hear the small angel.
“But… but then you came back…. I… I couldn’t believe it…. I wanted so bad… so bad to tell you… but… but I knew you liked Egypt… Yami I’m so sorry… please... please don’t leave again… we can forget all this happened and you can be with my cousin, but please…. please don’t leave me… mou hitori no boku,” Yugi choked out, his small frame trembling as he imagined Yami leaving him once more as tears freely slipped from his eyes, wetting his cheeks and splashing onto the kitchen floor beneath him.
There, his secret was out, Yami knew how he felt now, and he was probably going to leave him, but for good this time, Yugi just knew it. Who would want to stay when your other half is madly in love with you while you love another?
And to make things worse, he and his darkness where both males, making the whole situation awkward, and most likely uncomfortable for his darker half.
Who would want to share their room with a homosexual freak, especially since they shared a bathroom and a bed too?
He knew he probably grossed his Yami out, and now he knew the older boy was going to hate him, and leave him, just like the first time, and Yugi couldn’t stop the tears that made their way down his face.
The thought of Yami hating him broke the little hikari’s heart.
Yami stood there in shock, his mouth slightly a jar.
Yugi… Yugi loved him, truly and honestly loved him, but... but the small angel didn’t think he returned his feelings, and thought that he was going to leave, well then, Yami was going to have to change that.
Taking a step forward, Yami tenderly pulled his aibou into his embrace, placing his face in the small teens hair to breathe in his scent, sweet smelling vanilla, and all things good, just like Yugi.
He could feel Yugi tense up, and this caused him to hold onto the small one tighter, not wanting to let him go.
“Ya… Yami I-“
“I’m not leaving aibou,” Yami whispered into Yugi’s tri-colored hair, feeling the boy stiffen against him.
“I promised you that when I first returned to this world, I promised that I would never leave you again, and I do not ever intend on breaking that promise,” Yami smiled, pulling away to look his aibou in the eye, and the sight of Yugi’s tear damped cheeks causing Yami’s heart to ache.
Angels should never cry, especially not one such as Yugi.
“My promise is my bond little one, and I do not break my bond, especially not with you, mou hitori no ore,” Yami whispered, smiling when he saw a smile creep onto Yugi’s lips.
Yugi couldn’t believe it, Yami, his wonderful Yami wasn’t leaving, he wasn’t leaving him, he promised, and Yami never broke a promise to him.
Yami smiled at the somewhat happy look his light gave him. At least the little angel wasn’t crying anymore, and this made Yami very, very happy, he hated seeing his little one cry.
Opening his mouth to speak, Yami didn’t get very far before he was being crushed in a bone breaking hug that his hikari had wrapped him up in. When had aibou gotten so strong?!
“Aibou…?”
“Thank you Yami, thank you so much for staying, I’m sorry, so sorry, we can forget this whole thing ever happened, and you can be with Egypt now,” Yugi whispered into Yami’s leather covered torso, but he couldn’t mask the pain that he felt at saying such a phrase, and Yami didn’t miss it.
“And we can even make you your own bedroom in the basement, or you can have mine and I’ll take the basement bedroom, we can just forget this whole thing happened,” Yugi whispered, before he felt Yami push him away from his chest gently, causing Yugi to whimper in fear.
Had he done something wrong again?
“Aibou, I don’t won’t to leave your room, and I’m not kicking you out of your room, we’re still sharing,” Yami smiled, before his look turned serious.
“And aibou, about Egypt, I-”
Shaking his head Yugi quickly cut Yami off, putting a finger to the once pharaoh’s lips.
“Don’t Yami, I know you like her, a lot, I can see the way you flirt with her, you should really ask her out, you should hide your feelings for the one you love,” Yugi said, giving a weak smile, though on the inside his heart was breaking, and all he wanted to do was cry his eyes out and die.
“Everyone’s been telling me this a lot lately, and I thinks it’s about time I listened,” Yami said, crossing his arms over his chest and smiling.
Giving a weak smile in return, Yugi stepped aside and gave his yami the thumbs up, silently telling him to go for it, while his heart was cracking inside his small chest.
“Go for it Yami, go talk to Egypt, go talk to the one you love” Yugi said softly, surprised that his voice didn’t crack, or that he didn’t start crying like he normally would.
All he wanted for Yami to be happy, and if being with his younger cousin instead of him made his darkness happy, then so be it, Yugi would except it for he loved the other, and wanted him to be happy.
Smiling, Yami uncrossed his arms, and looked softly at his little angelic light, crimson eyes gentle and tender.
“Why would I want to talk to Egypt when the one I love is standing right in front of me,” Yami smiled, chuckling at the wide-eyed expression his little light gave him.
To say Yugi was shocked and a bit confused was a very BIG understatement.
So…. Yami didn’t love E, and the one he loved was right in front of him. But… but he was the only one in the kitchen with Yami, so that must means that Yami loves… oh.
“You… you love… me…”
Yami chuckled and smiled at his little lights shocked face. His little aibou locked so cute when he was confused, but he really needed to explain before his sweet little one died from shock, or had a heart attack, and that would not be good, nope, not good at all.
“Yes aibou, mou hitori no ore, Yugi, I love you, I have since the first day you solved the puzzle,” Yami smiled, causing Yugi’s eyes to go wide as he continued.
“I had been watching you ever since you had received the puzzle, I wanted to know who was trying to solve the puzzle and release me, and I wanted to see if they we worthy of it’s power, and me,”
“So you... you... y-you,” Yugi stammered as he tried to speak, but was cut of by a tan finger gently placed against his lips.
“Shhh, let me finish aibou,” Yami whispered, and Yugi nodded in agreement. Maybe Yami explaining a bit more would help him understand.
He didn’t get it, if Yami loved him for as long as he said he had, then why had he left, why had he not said something; ANYTHING before he had gone to the afterlife which he had thought had been for good.
And why when he returned had he not said something to the little light, confess what he felt when he returned, Yugi sure as hell wanted to, but if Yami had truly loved him that long, he should have said something!
“When I watched you, I saw how pure and innocent you were, how fragile and kind-hearted you were, and that attracted me to you aibou, the darkness will always be attracted to the light, and that’s what drew me to you,” Yami smiled, cupping Yugi’s cheek in his hand, causing the small light to sigh, and lean into the gentle touch of his darkling.
“I didn’t see how much I truly had fallen for you until that duel with Rafael, when I had lost you,” Yami suddenly whispered, his crimson eyes dropping to the kitchen floor as he spoke.
That memory alone still frightened and haunted the once pharaoh’s mind, and there were some nights where he would wake up screaming or covered in sweat due to a nightmare of the events.
He truly hated what he had done, and he had been shocked when his aibou had forgave him, but when you had been taken, Yami’s whole world crashed, and he momentary lost his mind, and his will to live.
There had been one night when he had wished he could just die, or be sealed away forever. He believed that he had no purpose in this world, and that all he had brought when he was released from the confided of the millennium puzzle was pain and darkness, and now Yugi had had to suffer with his ill doings and his wrongs.
When Yugi had found out about what the once king had been thinking, they had had a long talk when he had got home and into his bedroom. They had stayed up all night talking, and crying, just letting the other know that they were there, and that everything was fine now.
“Aibou, it killed me when you were gone, I couldn’t live with myself, and to know that I betrayed the one I loved, the one who trusted in me, and believed in me, I just… died inside,” Yami whispered, and Yugi could tell that the once pharaoh was holding back tears.
Yami didn’t like to cry, it just wasn’t something he did, wasn’t something he was taught to do when he was prince. He had always been taught that pharaohs were to never show weakness and crying was believed to be a sign of weakness, so he didn’t cry, even in this world.
“I wanted to tell you of my feeling for you so badly aibou, and I was going to when you returned after I beat Dartz, but… things just kept getting in the way, and I believed that you were still in love with Tea, so I didn’t say anything, even when it was time for me to go after I lost to you,”
Yugi stood there in silence, his wide amethyst eyes wider then normal. Yami had wanted to tell him that he loved the small light when he had returned after Dartz was beat, but... the poor pharaoh couldn’t, too much stuff had happened after that.
And the once king had thought he was in love with Tea. True, he had had a crush on her for the longest time, ever since they were young kids, but… once he had met Yami, the great spirit of the puzzle, things had… changed.
Yes he had still liked the brunette girl, but his feelings towards her were slowly but surely changing as time went by and he got to know Yami more and more, until finally, he didn’t have a crush on her, he had a crush on Yami, his protector, his guardian, his darkness.
But that still didn’t explain why the once king of Egypt hadn’t said something before he had left for the afterlife….
“But why didn’t you say anything before you left Atemu?” Yugi asked, catching the small flinch from Yami at the mention of his true name.
“I wanted to so badly aibou, I really did, but… I still believed you to be in love with Tea, and I didn’t want you to hate me, so… I just kept quite, thinking it would be for the best,” Yami answered quietly, keeping his head low.
“When I returned it was because of you Yugi, I couldn’t stand the after life, I hated it, I missed you and the others, but I missed you the most, I didn’t care if you loved Tea or not, I just wanted to be close to you, that’s the real reason I returned,” Yami admitted quietly, before he yelped when a harsh whack was given to his head.
“Ow! Aibou, what was that for?” Yami whined, rubbing the abused area on his now throbbing head while he stared wide-eyed at his light. Why the hell had Yugi just hit him!
“You baka,” Yugi smiled, before he leaned up, and brushed his lips against Yami’s, successfully confusing the once proud king of Egypt.
“By the time we had gotten to the whole duel between you and me, I didn’t love Tea anymore Yami,” Yugi smiled, causing Yami to gape slightly.
Well, that was a shock…
“Actually,” Yugi giggled, as if the memory alone was funny, “I stopped having a crush on her ever since you had dueled Dartz, and you had fought the great Lavation.”
“You... you did?” Yami asked, crimson eyes wide in disbelief.
“Yeah, I was so worried for you Yami, I was really scared that I was going to lose you, and then at the ceremonial battle, I just… I wanted to tell you bad, but I just… I couldn’t bring myself to do it, I thought you liked Egypt,” Yugi whispered.
“And then when you came back, I… I wanted to tell you, but... I still thought you liked my cousin, and that was the reason why you came back,”
Yami stood there in shock, so him and aibou had liked, no, loved one another for a very long time, and the only thing keeping them apart the entire time was because they both had thought that the one they loved, loved another.
Well, wasn’t that just a waste of anxiety and secret hiding?
Not able to control himself, Yami began to laugh, a rich, deep sound that rung in Yugi’s ears as him darkness clutched at his stomach for support as he continued to laugh like a mad man.
But what Yugi didn’t understand was… why on earth was Yami laughing?!
((Not laughing at you aibou, I swear, it’s just that… we spent so long trying to hide our secrets from one another when it turns out that there was no need,)) Yami sent through the mind link. He was starting to calm down now, but Yugi didn’t miss the amusement that radiated off his darker half’s side of the link.
Looking at the pharaoh strangely, Yugi began to see the humor in the situation as well, and began to giggle, before he was pulled tightly against a firm chest, and his lips were covered with another’s.
Yami was kissing him, really and truly kissing him. Ok, now he faint.
Yami’s lips felt so good against his own, warm and soft, like a gentle rose that has spent the day in the sun, and their lips fit perfectly against each other, like they were made to be together.
Wrapping his arms around Yami’s thin neck, Yugi began to kiss back, happily participating in the slow, gentle kiss that his love, yes, HIS love, had started.
There was no tongue, not sucking breath, just a slow gentle kiss that expressed their love for one another, and Yugi, nor Yami really minded that.
Yami couldn’t believe it, he felt like he had died and gone to to heaven, true paradise, as he kissed the one he loved, the one he was meant to be with.
Yugi was so sweet, his lips warm and supple, and Yami was slowly, but surely getting addicted to kissing his little angel of light, and it was only their first real kiss too.
“WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“(Insert wolf whistle here)”
“(Insert cat call here)”
“(Insert clapping here)”
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!”
“IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!”
Yami and Yugi quickly pulled away and stared wide-eyed at their friends, who were at the moment clapping and cheering them on, like this was some type of show or something.
“I got it,” Egypt giggled, holding up a camera, and Yami had a pretty good idea of what she got.
“That was so cute,” Ryou giggled, clapping his hands as he bounced up and down, Malik standing beside him still whistling.
“Damn, it took ya long enough,” Bakura teased, laughing at how red Yugi was getting at the moment.
Yugi couldn’t believe, his and Yami’s friends had been spying on them the entire time, and they had just seen him and his darkness KISS! Talk about embarrassing.
Groaning in embarrassment, Yugi buried his head into Yami’s chest, and began to mumble about how unfair his life was, and ho the gods hated him, and loved to embarrass him.
“Aw, come on cuz, you and Yami kissing was so cute,” Egypt giggled, holding up her camera.
“You’re not helping E,” Yami chuckled as he began to lightly run his fingers through his mortified light’s hair, trying to soothe the embarrassed teen boy.
“I know,”
Shaking his head at his and his little light’s friends, Yami slowly raised Yugi’s head with a gentle hand, cupping his chin to keep his head up so the little one couldn’t rebury his face into the darkness’ chest.
“I love you aibou,” Yami smiled, gently caressing Yugi’s face with his hand.
“I love you too Atemu,” Yugi smiled back, leaning into the gentle touch before his lips were captured once more.
Whistles and catcalls erupted in the small kitchen once more, as others began to clap and cheer, but neither Yugi nor Yami seemed to notice, too wrapped up in each other to care about the rest of the world.
Why should they, when they had each other to love and hold…
((Looks like my birthday wish came true after all,))

Previously On Happy Birthday Yami:
“Yami,”
“Yugi,”
Blushing furiously, Yugi cleared his throat, not really knowing what to say now. Why, why had he done that? He just had to kiss him; he just had to. Now his Yami probably hated him. Why did he have to be so stupid?
‘Now he probably hates me and thinks I’m disgusting,’ Yugi mentally cried, feeling tears sting his eyes as he stared at his darkness, before he ducked his head in shame.

He wanted nothing more then to go over to his light and wipe his tears away, soothe his most likely frightened light, but he knew very well that the best thing to do right now was not to touch the small hikari, not after what he did.
“Aibou I-“
“I love you Yami,”
((((000000000000))))
Yami stared in disbelief as those simple words rang in his ears, swirling in his head, repeating over and over again in his jumbled mind.
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you…
“Wha…. what,” Yami stammered, his voice refusing to work properly as he gazed at his aibou, who was now looking down in what appeared to be shame and fear.
“I love you Yami,” Yugi whispered, his sunlight blonde bangs covering his shimmering amethyst eyes, making him look fragile, and vulnerable, like a small kitten to a hungered dog.
“I… I didn’t realize it until…. until after you left for the afterlife…. And by then it was too late,” Yugi whispered, his voice so low and soft that Yami had to strain just to hear the small angel.
“But… but then you came back…. I… I couldn’t believe it…. I wanted so bad… so bad to tell you… but… but I knew you liked Egypt… Yami I’m so sorry… please... please don’t leave again… we can forget all this happened and you can be with my cousin, but please…. please don’t leave me… mou hitori no boku,” Yugi choked out, his small frame trembling as he imagined Yami leaving him once more as tears freely slipped from his eyes, wetting his cheeks and splashing onto the kitchen floor beneath him.
There, his secret was out, Yami knew how he felt now, and he was probably going to leave him, but for good this time, Yugi just knew it. Who would want to stay when your other half is madly in love with you while you love another?
And to make things worse, he and his darkness where both males, making the whole situation awkward, and most likely uncomfortable for his darker half.

He knew he probably grossed his Yami out, and now he knew the older boy was going to hate him, and leave him, just like the first time, and Yugi couldn’t stop the tears that made their way down his face.
The thought of Yami hating him broke the little hikari’s heart.
Yami stood there in shock, his mouth slightly a jar.
Yugi… Yugi loved him, truly and honestly loved him, but... but the small angel didn’t think he returned his feelings, and thought that he was going to leave, well then, Yami was going to have to change that.
Taking a step forward, Yami tenderly pulled his aibou into his embrace, placing his face in the small teens hair to breathe in his scent, sweet smelling vanilla, and all things good, just like Yugi.
He could feel Yugi tense up, and this caused him to hold onto the small one tighter, not wanting to let him go.
“Ya… Yami I-“
“I’m not leaving aibou,” Yami whispered into Yugi’s tri-colored hair, feeling the boy stiffen against him.
“I promised you that when I first returned to this world, I promised that I would never leave you again, and I do not ever intend on breaking that promise,” Yami smiled, pulling away to look his aibou in the eye, and the sight of Yugi’s tear damped cheeks causing Yami’s heart to ache.
Angels should never cry, especially not one such as Yugi.
“My promise is my bond little one, and I do not break my bond, especially not with you, mou hitori no ore,” Yami whispered, smiling when he saw a smile creep onto Yugi’s lips.
Yugi couldn’t believe it, Yami, his wonderful Yami wasn’t leaving, he wasn’t leaving him, he promised, and Yami never broke a promise to him.
Yami smiled at the somewhat happy look his light gave him. At least the little angel wasn’t crying anymore, and this made Yami very, very happy, he hated seeing his little one cry.
Opening his mouth to speak, Yami didn’t get very far before he was being crushed in a bone breaking hug that his hikari had wrapped him up in. When had aibou gotten so strong?!
“Aibou…?”
“Thank you Yami, thank you so much for staying, I’m sorry, so sorry, we can forget this whole thing ever happened, and you can be with Egypt now,” Yugi whispered into Yami’s leather covered torso, but he couldn’t mask the pain that he felt at saying such a phrase, and Yami didn’t miss it.
“And we can even make you your own bedroom in the basement, or you can have mine and I’ll take the basement bedroom, we can just forget this whole thing happened,” Yugi whispered, before he felt Yami push him away from his chest gently, causing Yugi to whimper in fear.
Had he done something wrong again?
“Aibou, I don’t won’t to leave your room, and I’m not kicking you out of your room, we’re still sharing,” Yami smiled, before his look turned serious.
“And aibou, about Egypt, I-”
Shaking his head Yugi quickly cut Yami off, putting a finger to the once pharaoh’s lips.
“Don’t Yami, I know you like her, a lot, I can see the way you flirt with her, you should really ask her out, you should hide your feelings for the one you love,” Yugi said, giving a weak smile, though on the inside his heart was breaking, and all he wanted to do was cry his eyes out and die.
“Everyone’s been telling me this a lot lately, and I thinks it’s about time I listened,” Yami said, crossing his arms over his chest and smiling.
Giving a weak smile in return, Yugi stepped aside and gave his yami the thumbs up, silently telling him to go for it, while his heart was cracking inside his small chest.
“Go for it Yami, go talk to Egypt, go talk to the one you love” Yugi said softly, surprised that his voice didn’t crack, or that he didn’t start crying like he normally would.
All he wanted for Yami to be happy, and if being with his younger cousin instead of him made his darkness happy, then so be it, Yugi would except it for he loved the other, and wanted him to be happy.
Smiling, Yami uncrossed his arms, and looked softly at his little angelic light, crimson eyes gentle and tender.
“Why would I want to talk to Egypt when the one I love is standing right in front of me,” Yami smiled, chuckling at the wide-eyed expression his little light gave him.
To say Yugi was shocked and a bit confused was a very BIG understatement.
So…. Yami didn’t love E, and the one he loved was right in front of him. But… but he was the only one in the kitchen with Yami, so that must means that Yami loves… oh.
“You… you love… me…”
Yami chuckled and smiled at his little lights shocked face. His little aibou locked so cute when he was confused, but he really needed to explain before his sweet little one died from shock, or had a heart attack, and that would not be good, nope, not good at all.
“Yes aibou, mou hitori no ore, Yugi, I love you, I have since the first day you solved the puzzle,” Yami smiled, causing Yugi’s eyes to go wide as he continued.
“I had been watching you ever since you had received the puzzle, I wanted to know who was trying to solve the puzzle and release me, and I wanted to see if they we worthy of it’s power, and me,”
“So you... you... y-you,” Yugi stammered as he tried to speak, but was cut of by a tan finger gently placed against his lips.
“Shhh, let me finish aibou,” Yami whispered, and Yugi nodded in agreement. Maybe Yami explaining a bit more would help him understand.
He didn’t get it, if Yami loved him for as long as he said he had, then why had he left, why had he not said something; ANYTHING before he had gone to the afterlife which he had thought had been for good.
And why when he returned had he not said something to the little light, confess what he felt when he returned, Yugi sure as hell wanted to, but if Yami had truly loved him that long, he should have said something!
“When I watched you, I saw how pure and innocent you were, how fragile and kind-hearted you were, and that attracted me to you aibou, the darkness will always be attracted to the light, and that’s what drew me to you,” Yami smiled, cupping Yugi’s cheek in his hand, causing the small light to sigh, and lean into the gentle touch of his darkling.
“I didn’t see how much I truly had fallen for you until that duel with Rafael, when I had lost you,” Yami suddenly whispered, his crimson eyes dropping to the kitchen floor as he spoke.
That memory alone still frightened and haunted the once pharaoh’s mind, and there were some nights where he would wake up screaming or covered in sweat due to a nightmare of the events.
He truly hated what he had done, and he had been shocked when his aibou had forgave him, but when you had been taken, Yami’s whole world crashed, and he momentary lost his mind, and his will to live.
There had been one night when he had wished he could just die, or be sealed away forever. He believed that he had no purpose in this world, and that all he had brought when he was released from the confided of the millennium puzzle was pain and darkness, and now Yugi had had to suffer with his ill doings and his wrongs.
When Yugi had found out about what the once king had been thinking, they had had a long talk when he had got home and into his bedroom. They had stayed up all night talking, and crying, just letting the other know that they were there, and that everything was fine now.
“Aibou, it killed me when you were gone, I couldn’t live with myself, and to know that I betrayed the one I loved, the one who trusted in me, and believed in me, I just… died inside,” Yami whispered, and Yugi could tell that the once pharaoh was holding back tears.
Yami didn’t like to cry, it just wasn’t something he did, wasn’t something he was taught to do when he was prince. He had always been taught that pharaohs were to never show weakness and crying was believed to be a sign of weakness, so he didn’t cry, even in this world.
“I wanted to tell you of my feeling for you so badly aibou, and I was going to when you returned after I beat Dartz, but… things just kept getting in the way, and I believed that you were still in love with Tea, so I didn’t say anything, even when it was time for me to go after I lost to you,”
Yugi stood there in silence, his wide amethyst eyes wider then normal. Yami had wanted to tell him that he loved the small light when he had returned after Dartz was beat, but... the poor pharaoh couldn’t, too much stuff had happened after that.
And the once king had thought he was in love with Tea. True, he had had a crush on her for the longest time, ever since they were young kids, but… once he had met Yami, the great spirit of the puzzle, things had… changed.
Yes he had still liked the brunette girl, but his feelings towards her were slowly but surely changing as time went by and he got to know Yami more and more, until finally, he didn’t have a crush on her, he had a crush on Yami, his protector, his guardian, his darkness.
But that still didn’t explain why the once king of Egypt hadn’t said something before he had left for the afterlife….
“But why didn’t you say anything before you left Atemu?” Yugi asked, catching the small flinch from Yami at the mention of his true name.
“I wanted to so badly aibou, I really did, but… I still believed you to be in love with Tea, and I didn’t want you to hate me, so… I just kept quite, thinking it would be for the best,” Yami answered quietly, keeping his head low.
“When I returned it was because of you Yugi, I couldn’t stand the after life, I hated it, I missed you and the others, but I missed you the most, I didn’t care if you loved Tea or not, I just wanted to be close to you, that’s the real reason I returned,” Yami admitted quietly, before he yelped when a harsh whack was given to his head.
“Ow! Aibou, what was that for?” Yami whined, rubbing the abused area on his now throbbing head while he stared wide-eyed at his light. Why the hell had Yugi just hit him!
“You baka,” Yugi smiled, before he leaned up, and brushed his lips against Yami’s, successfully confusing the once proud king of Egypt.
“By the time we had gotten to the whole duel between you and me, I didn’t love Tea anymore Yami,” Yugi smiled, causing Yami to gape slightly.
Well, that was a shock…
“Actually,” Yugi giggled, as if the memory alone was funny, “I stopped having a crush on her ever since you had dueled Dartz, and you had fought the great Lavation.”
“You... you did?” Yami asked, crimson eyes wide in disbelief.
“Yeah, I was so worried for you Yami, I was really scared that I was going to lose you, and then at the ceremonial battle, I just… I wanted to tell you bad, but I just… I couldn’t bring myself to do it, I thought you liked Egypt,” Yugi whispered.
“And then when you came back, I… I wanted to tell you, but... I still thought you liked my cousin, and that was the reason why you came back,”
Yami stood there in shock, so him and aibou had liked, no, loved one another for a very long time, and the only thing keeping them apart the entire time was because they both had thought that the one they loved, loved another.
Well, wasn’t that just a waste of anxiety and secret hiding?
Not able to control himself, Yami began to laugh, a rich, deep sound that rung in Yugi’s ears as him darkness clutched at his stomach for support as he continued to laugh like a mad man.
But what Yugi didn’t understand was… why on earth was Yami laughing?!
((Not laughing at you aibou, I swear, it’s just that… we spent so long trying to hide our secrets from one another when it turns out that there was no need,)) Yami sent through the mind link. He was starting to calm down now, but Yugi didn’t miss the amusement that radiated off his darker half’s side of the link.
Looking at the pharaoh strangely, Yugi began to see the humor in the situation as well, and began to giggle, before he was pulled tightly against a firm chest, and his lips were covered with another’s.
Yami was kissing him, really and truly kissing him. Ok, now he faint.
Yami’s lips felt so good against his own, warm and soft, like a gentle rose that has spent the day in the sun, and their lips fit perfectly against each other, like they were made to be together.
Wrapping his arms around Yami’s thin neck, Yugi began to kiss back, happily participating in the slow, gentle kiss that his love, yes, HIS love, had started.
There was no tongue, not sucking breath, just a slow gentle kiss that expressed their love for one another, and Yugi, nor Yami really minded that.
Yami couldn’t believe it, he felt like he had died and gone to to heaven, true paradise, as he kissed the one he loved, the one he was meant to be with.
Yugi was so sweet, his lips warm and supple, and Yami was slowly, but surely getting addicted to kissing his little angel of light, and it was only their first real kiss too.
“WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“(Insert wolf whistle here)”
“(Insert cat call here)”
“(Insert clapping here)”
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!”
“IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!”
Yami and Yugi quickly pulled away and stared wide-eyed at their friends, who were at the moment clapping and cheering them on, like this was some type of show or something.
“I got it,” Egypt giggled, holding up a camera, and Yami had a pretty good idea of what she got.
“That was so cute,” Ryou giggled, clapping his hands as he bounced up and down, Malik standing beside him still whistling.
“Damn, it took ya long enough,” Bakura teased, laughing at how red Yugi was getting at the moment.
Yugi couldn’t believe, his and Yami’s friends had been spying on them the entire time, and they had just seen him and his darkness KISS! Talk about embarrassing.
Groaning in embarrassment, Yugi buried his head into Yami’s chest, and began to mumble about how unfair his life was, and ho the gods hated him, and loved to embarrass him.
“Aw, come on cuz, you and Yami kissing was so cute,” Egypt giggled, holding up her camera.
“You’re not helping E,” Yami chuckled as he began to lightly run his fingers through his mortified light’s hair, trying to soothe the embarrassed teen boy.
“I know,”
Shaking his head at his and his little light’s friends, Yami slowly raised Yugi’s head with a gentle hand, cupping his chin to keep his head up so the little one couldn’t rebury his face into the darkness’ chest.
“I love you aibou,” Yami smiled, gently caressing Yugi’s face with his hand.
“I love you too Atemu,” Yugi smiled back, leaning into the gentle touch before his lips were captured once more.
Whistles and catcalls erupted in the small kitchen once more, as others began to clap and cheer, but neither Yugi nor Yami seemed to notice, too wrapped up in each other to care about the rest of the world.
Why should they, when they had each other to love and hold…
((Looks like my birthday wish came true after all,))
