In Love With My Boss (Yami Yugi Fanfic)

Chapter 12

Sayuir's POV:

It felt great for the past couple of days, and it still feels good today. Yugi and I were hanging out while we're still co-workers. Nothing doesn't seem to give me any doubt. Yugi is still recovering from that brutal beat down, between him and my best friend. She apologized, once I forced Meme by putting ice on her back. Hey, she was stubborn, but she did mean to apologize. Yugi was happy now and for the past couple of days, I've been spending more time in Yugi's apartment by watching movies with him. Most importantly, I've been helping Yugi with chores, and make something special for Yugi. Whenever I cook, Yugi would be delighted by that pleasant smell. He even appreciates the taste of my cooking. Usually, I cook like noodle soup, curry, and anything exotic to my eye. I would never make anything that's plain and dull. 

My godmother did teach me on how to cook, along with making spells. Her specialty for magic is healing, and my grandmother thought I would have that kind of potential. So it wouldn't be just combating on magic, but also heal people. Each recipe I make, there would always be a secret ingredient. It only happens on rare occasions. But since Yugi is in bed rest, I decided that that would be a perfect time to use my magic, to cure him. I'm real glad that I can be open and honest towards Yugi. It was so hard for me to hold onto my secret, until I can no longer take it. My lungs couldn't hold in that secret. It was suffocating, until it needed oxygen to breathe. Thanks to Mai for making me feel heated up inside, I have no longer have to hide it. At least it's better than confessing my secret to Yugi, in a hard way. I just hope I'll be able to trust my heart out on Yugi. It's the first time that I can confess to someone (well maybe Yugi's not the first, I would say). Now Yugi knows, and I hope my magic wouldn't cause any danger. 

Yugi's POV: 

I must say Sayuri did a good job on taking care of me. Now that I finally professed my love towards her, there's nothing left to hide. Though, I may have forgotten about this other secret, and it still remains hidden. I'm still not ready to reveal my secret. Not now, not yet. I know it is unfair how Sayuri revealed her secret, and not me. I'm just... I'm just not brave enough to let it all out. Of course I confessed my love towards Sayuri, but not about my secret. It might torment Sayuri, if I told her the truth.  However, it's not good to hold it all in. Pretty much, Sayuri is a big fan of me, and now that fan is under my arms. One day, I received a phone call while Sayuri was attending to my care. I heard the phone rang, and Sayuri asks, "You want me to pick it up, for you?"

I smiled a bit and shake my head. "I'm good, thanks. But you can serve us some of your noodle soup."

Sayuri giggles softly and kisses my cheek. "Coming right up, boss."

After she left my room, I picked up the phone to answer. "Hello?"

"Hey, Yami," a familiar voice, says.

"Yugi," I ask, in astonishment. I haven't heard Yugi for a couple of weeks, ever since he gave me an update of his excavation. "Yugi, it's been a while. How are you?"

"I'm good, pharaoh."

"Please, don't call me that." I really don't want to be called 'pharaoh' anymore, now that I came back to earth. after all, I want to start a normal life of my own. "So what are you upto?"

"Nothing much phar--- I mean Yami. Though, we did uncover ancient bones, from Kul Elna. I do remember how souls were sacrificed, in order to create the millennium items."

"Don't remind me," I said, with an irritation in my voice. I still remembered how my father killed all those innocent people from Kul Elna, but it wasn't his fault. His brother convinced him to do so. It wasn't my father's intention to do it. It was his brother, who happens to be my uncle. At least Yugi and I stopped my uncle's demise, when he was controlling Priest Seto. Unfortunately, I feel a deep hatred on my family's past, and I will never want to remember it or think about it. That past is meaningless, to me. Moreover, I felt bad for looking at my own past. I'm not much of a good ruler, now that there's guiltiness written in my blood. As I was about to ask another question, I heard Sayuri's voice. "Is everything ok, in there?"

"Everything's ok, my love," I said while covering the speaker, with my hand. Then, I turned to speak to Yugi, on the phone. "Sorry about that."

"Who's that, with you," Yugi asks.

"Just someone that I met, and now she works for me," I answered while blushing a bit.

There was an awkward silence. until Yugi broke it. "Ooooh. Could it be that you have a lover?"

I can hear that Yugi is trying make me blush more. I smirked a bit. "Zip it, my other half," I joked.

"Hey, I'm happy for you," Yugi says, laughing a bit. Then, he relaxes. "But don't you think she's gonna find out soon enough?"

From that sentence, my stomach was already in knots. I wouldn't expect to hear Yugi saying that. Or maybe I did, but I just ignored the fact. I sigh and say, "I know she will find out our secret, Yugi. I just don't know how to bring that out, for myself."

"Yami, you know she will find out, on her own. And when she does, she might feel a bit hurt for keeping that secret from her."

"I know, Yugi," I hear my voice raise, a bit louder. "But I know that one thing that she's a big fan of me."

"You may be in a tight spot, but I think she might understand. After all, your girlfriend does love you."

For a moment, I was hesitant. Yugi might be right, but I need be careful on how to let my secret out. So I made a sheepish smile and say, "Alright, Yugi. I'll think about it."

"Ok, Yami," I hear Yugi say, feeling a bit happy about my answer. "Hey, I gotta go. I'll call you soon, and give you an update on my excavation. I hope I'll come to visit you, and your new girlfriend."

"I hope so too, my aibou. Take care."

As we said our goodbyes, I hung up and placed the phone, on top of the drawer that's next to my bed. I placed both of my hands over my face, as I lay back on my bed. "Oh Ra," I said to myself, in misery.

Then, I heard footsteps coming towards me, and I can feel a hand placed on my shoulder. I uncovered my face, to see that it's Sayuri giving me a warm smile, on her face. "Hey, boss," she says, playfully. "I finally made you that soup that you like." Slowly, Sayuri crawls into bed right next to me, and wraps her arms around me. "You sure everything's ok, my sweet prince?"

I'm not gonna get irritated by that, in front of Sayuri, I thought, to myself. No matter how I hate being called 'prince', 'your highness', or anything that doesn't deal with royalty, at least Sayuri doesn't know my royal past. So I gave it my best smile, and answer, "Of course, my sweet princess. I'm alright, all thanks to you."

With that, Sayuri pulls me into a tight hug and kissed my cheek. "I'm grateful to have you, Yami."

"And you, for me. I would never want anything else, but you."

I looked at my noodle soup that is set, on top of my drawer. I was hungry once, but then I don't feel hungry anymore now that guilt has filled up my belly. I hope I won't expect the worse between Sayuri and I, but I guess not.
