Unexpected Detour

A/N: Hello all! As always, I appreciate your support. You don't have to spend time out of your day reading my posts... but here you are... and I thank you for it.

Jofisk: He does *Smiles* I'll post the corresponding video when it comes time.

CapricornKitty1975: Atemu is just getting worse. Poor Atemu and poor Yugi. *Frowns.*

MadHatter5046:

Ukume279: Yugi... what did you say?

Yugi: *Shrugs and grins*

Ukume279: Come on back. What did he say to you anyway?

Atemu: Well, he got rid of her. *Shrugs and takes a sip of his whiskey.*

Ukume279: Now now. That's not nice.

Atemu: What? She wants me to stop drinking.

Yugi: We all do.

Atemu: *Blinks* Oh come on. I'm not that bad.

Yugi and Ukume279: *Facepalm*

Hope you enjoy this chapter. I do not own the song in this chapter. It is "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. I used the Within Temptation cover of "Radioactive" for additional inspiration for this chapter and that is the one I posted the video for.

Please vote and leave comments before you leave. They are both greatly appreciated.

I roll out of bed with a pounding headache. Whoever decided to take a jackhammer to my head needs to be shot, tarred, and then feathered. My head feels mere seconds away from exploding. 

What time is it anyway? I glance over at the digital clock flashing on the nightstand. Big mistake. The bright green digital numbers make me cringe and shield my eyes. Son of a bitch. That stings and it did nothing to improve my headache. 

Fuck. I have to pee. I stumble around the room past one of the beds; stubbing my toe on one of the legs. Fuck. This is seriously not my morning..evening..afternoon. Whatever. I cradle my aching toe for a few minutes and glare daggers at the leg of the bed. I swear... the thing just jumped out at me out of nowhere. I regain my trek over to the bathroom again; this time successfully reaching my destination.

I'm still not use to sharing a hotel room with someone. I really should have knocked. The sight that greets my eyes is forever imprinted in my brain much to my utter delight and humiliation. Yugi stands in the shower; steam enveloping him and water racing down his lithe form. He had already turned the water off. He is standing in the shower stall wringing his hair out; causing more clear liquid to go rushing down his back. I shutter, staring at him utterly hypnotized.

"Atemu!" Yugi squeaks while trying to grab a towel.

"I'm...I'm..I'm....Yugi, I'm so sorry!" I cover my eyes and exit the bathroom. My heart pounds rapidly in my chest; threatening to beat itself right out of my ribcage with each beat. I go back over to my bed and plop down; eternally grateful for the loose boxer shorts that grip my hips. I thanked every deity in existence for giving me a few minutes to gather myself before Yugi returns to the room. A dark crimson blush paints his alabaster cherubic features. Oh Ra. He glances over at me before averting his gaze to his bag where he deposits his pajamas.
