Yami's POV

I smiled as Mark did his intro, every bit as energetic as usual. "Alright, I know you guys may be confused. Mark, you played this game yesterday, why are you playing it again? Well, M has updated the game and added multiplayer! Now, I know that you guys really love it when I play with Yami, so I had him sent over to L.A. Say hi Yami!" Mark said, pointing over at me. I moved so that my face was being recorded and said, "Hello everybody, my name is Yaminash, and today I'm playing YouTube High School with my best friend Mawk!" Mark smiled and said, "Anyways, we'll be playing the multiplayer version, and since Yami's never played the game before, I won't tell him a single thing about how to play!"

"Gee, thanks Mawk, I really feel the love here." I said sarcastically. Mark waggled his eyebrows and said huskily, "Oh you'll feel the love tonight Yamibaby!" I felt my face heat up and I stammered, "L-let's just play Mawk." Mark laughed and started the game, and we chose our characters. Mark chose himself and I chose myself as well, then the game began. Mark smiled and began narrating what his character said, "Boy, I can't wait to meet the new student! I heard he's from Britianland!" Mark laughed and said, "Even in these games I call it Britianland!" I rolled my eyes and smiled when I was introduced, and began narrating, "H-hello everyone, my name is Yamimash, but my friends all call me Yami." Mark laughed at the way my character was animated, emphasizing everything about me that was girly.

"Why do I look so girly?" I asked, pouting slightly as Mark continued laughing. Mark's animation showed up on screen and I raged, "Why the hell do I look so girly when you look so manly?" Mark wasn't even making sounds anymore, he was just clapping like a dumb seal. Alright, let's just get this over with.

One hour later...
"Ok, I guess we're dating now?" I asked, not really sure about what just happened. Mark laughed and said, "The ship has sailed!" I felt my smile falter for a moment but I covered it up by yawning. "Aw, Yami's getting sleepy!" Mark cooed, then turned back to the camera. "Alright guys, we'll continue this another time, but until then, I'll see you in the next video, bye bye!" Mark exclaimed. I yawned again, this time for real, and waved bye at the camera sleepily. What time is it? I glanced over at the clock and groaned when I saw that it was only three in the afternoon. I hate jet lag! I'll just rest at the computer desk for a moment...

Mark's POV

Aw, Yami's getting sleepy! Hm, it's only three in the afternoon, but in London it would be eleven. Yami does look pretty tired, maybe he should go to bed. "Yami, you sleepy?" I asked, editing the video. No answer. I turned around to ask him again and chuckled when I saw that he had fallen asleep at the computer. I decided to finish editing the video then wake him up. Nearly an hour later, I finally finished editing and let the video upload. I stretched and listened to my joints pop and turned around to look at. Yami. He was still sleeping, and he just looked so peaceful. His face was completely relaxed, no trace of worry or sadness could be found. I smiled down at him and shook him gently, trying not to startle him. He made some weird sleepy sound and shifted slightly.

I sighed and shook him harder, but to no avail. Apparently Yami is a really heavy sleeper! I couldn't let him sleep thee, he'd wake up all confused and sore, so what do I do? Duh Mark, you can carry him! Well, that might actually work if it wasn't for the fact that he might wake up and freak out. Wait a minute, he's in a rolly chair! I'll just roll him to the couch, he can sleep there tonight! I moved Yami off the desk and positioned him so that he couldn't fall out the chair, then rolled it slowly to the living room. Yami didn't move a muscle the whole time I was moving him, and I finally got him to the couch. Ok, now I just have to move him to the couch without waking him up.

I slipped my hands around his waist and hoisted him up, surprised by how light he was. I got him on the couch without hurting anyone, and I put the chair back where it belonged. Now Yami just needs a blanket! I finally found a nice warm one and tossed it over Yami, tucking it around him to keep him warm. Alright, now I gotta go to sleep. I made my way to my room and collapsed into bed, deciding that my shower could wait until the morning. I took off my glasses and set them on my nightstand, then set my alarm and got comfortable. I fell asleep pretty quickly for once.

Marks Dream

Weird, I don't think I've ever been here. The streets are crowded and noisy, and someone runs into me. The first thing I notice is the fact that it's Melody, the second thing I notice is the giant pair of wings coming out her back. Okay, this is really weird now! She smiled at me and grabbed my hand, and before I ask her what she was doing, she flew up. I screeched as I was lifted off the ground and into the sky, soaring past even the tallest skyscrapers in the city. I didn't stop screaming until we landed, and the only reason I stopped screaming was because I was out of breath. We had landed on a fucking cloud! You can't stand on clouds, they don't work like that! While my brain was trying not to explode, Melody just stared at me.

I was finally able to choke out a semi coherent sentence, "What the hell?" Melody just laughed and said, "Hello again Mawk, fancy seeing you here!" "How the hell did we get here?" I asked, feeling my head spin. Melody scoffed and said, "We flew up here, duh Mawk! Use that head of yours for once!" I rolled my eyes and said, "Well obviously we flew up here, but how?" Melody sighed and said, "Believe me, it would take way too long to explain everything to you, so just listen to me okay?" I nodded slowly, resigned to the fact that I was probably going insane. Melody took a deep breath and said, "You need to keep an eye on Yami, he's really going to need you over the next couple of weeks Mawk."

She glanced at her feet and admitted, "I'm honestly worried about him, something's off and I can't really help fix it now, so you'll have to fix it for me." "Fix what?" I asked incredulously, trying to figure out how Melody knew Yami well enough to see that something's off. Melody bit her lip and sighed, then looked at me apologetically. "I'm sorry Mawk, but I can't disclose that information. You'll have to figure it out yourself." Melody explained. She grabbed my hand and said, "Sorry to cut this off so soon, but you have to wake up now Mawk!" I bolted upright in bed, skin sweaty and clammy, and sighed when I looked sprung my familiar room. Thank goodness, it was just a dream. A really weird dream, but still just a dream. I don't really understand why Melody was in my dream, or why she had wings. Honestly, I had no fucking clue what any of that dream meant, and I wasn't going to find out now. I needed food and a nice shower, then maybe I could figure out what the dream meant...

Hi guys, another chapter done! Sorry if the story's moving slowly, I just want this to build up. I don't really enjoy stories were Mark and Yami are together in a week, so I'm trying to make this a little more realistic. Well, as realistic as it can get with a goddess appearing in people's dreams and telling them things she shouldn't really know. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I'll have another chapter up in a few days! Goodbye and goodnight!
