/Yugi's thoughts/

Yugi stood in Dominick's kitchen staring out the window. His amethyst eyes were and unseeing. It had been a little over three months since he and Dominick started dating. He all but lived in Dominick's apartment now.

"The coffee ready yet?" a tired whisper behind him jolted his mind back into reality.

Yugi blinked several times bringing his eyes back into focus, "What?" he asked as he turned to face his boyfriend.

Dominick smirked, "I said, is the coffee ready yet?"

"Oh," Yugi looked down at the water overflowing from the coffee pot in his hand. He quickly turned the faucet off and poured some water out, "Not yet, I am starting it now."

Dominick frowned slightly, "It should be ready by now."

"I'm sorry, Dom. I will have it ready right away." Yugi poured the pot of water into the coffee maker.

"Thanks, Chibi!" Dominick pinched Yugi's side eliciting a squeak from the youth before turning to go shower and begin getting ready for school.

The tri-colored teen brewed the coffee and made a spicy southwestern omelet just as Dominick liked it. He poured the coffee and added in the amount of creamer that Dominick required. He also poured a glass of orange juice. When everything was prepared, he placed the coffee, juice, and omelet on a tray. Carrying the tray into Dominick's room, he set it on the desk.  

The blue eyed boy entered the room with a towel wrapped around his waist, "Mmmm, it smells good, Chibi."

"Thank you," Yugi said looking down at his fidgeting hands, "Can I please take a shower, Dom? I need one before class this morning."

"If you hurry, it is already 7:05," Dominick took a sip of the coffee; a sigh of relief cascaded from his lips. 

Yugi nodded and rushed out of the room to take his shower. He closed the door and turned the shower on. Quickly removing his pajamas, he took what must have been the fastest shower he had ever taken lasting a grand total of two and half minutes. He jumped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist while he stared at his reflection in the mirror. His eyes glanced over his chest and to his stomach. He pinched a little bit of skin in between his index finger and thumb. 

He heard Dominick's voice in his head, "You know, Yugi, if you lost 20 pounds, you would look amazing. Right now you remind me of a little roly poly." 

Yugi pinched the skin on another part of his stomach. /Dom's right. I am fat. I just need to keep dieting. I want to make him happy,/ he thought before leaving the bathroom to finish getting ready in Dominick's room. Dominick was already out in the living room gathering his school supplies for the day.

"Hurry up, Chibi! We gotta go!" Dominick hollered down the hall to Yugi.

Yugi pulled his clothes on and grabbed his backpack which was shoved in a corner, "Okay, I am ready." He smiled at Dominick. Dominick smirked back at him and the two walked swiftly out the door and up the street to campus.

Arriving at the door to History of Ancient Egypt, Dominick grabbed Yugi's arm tightly; preventing him from going in.

"Dom, I can't be late again." Yugi whispered.

"You won't be. I just wanted to tell you that I can't go to class so take notes for me." He kissed Yugi on the forehead.

"But...we have class right now. Where are you going?" Yugi inquired wrapping his arms around Dom's waist.
