Ch 2 Confession

Confession

Yami's pov

"Téa and I broke up last night." Yugi says, his eyes downcast. They broke up? How could this be happening? It's as if all my prayers had been answered. Except for that fact that Yugi's moping about it.

"I'm sorry. I hope you guys can still be friends." I say, lying just a little bit.

"She was really torn up about it. I don't know if I can face her. I feel so bad. But I know that I did the right thing." Yugi closes his eyes and sighs heavily.

"Even so, you should probably finish your breakfast." I say gently.

"Yeah." I make myself toast and sit down with Yugi, clearing my mind and making it blank. It's taken me years of practice, but now it comes to me easily.

"We should go now. We're going to be late if we don't." Yugi says, making me jump since I forgot he was there for a bit.

"Ok, I just have to get my stuff." I reply absentmindedly. I put my plate in the sink and go upstairs and grab my bag. When I go back downstairs, Yugi's waiting for me by the door, looking slightly happier. Which is a bit of an improvement.

"Ready?" He asks.

"Yup." I reply, holding open the door for him, then locking it behind me. The walk to school is silent, and Tèa isn't walking with us like she normally does, which is a big change for Yugi, since she been doing that even since before they started dating. It's less uncomfortable for me, now that I'm not the third wheel. It was torture watching them together, flirting and holding hands. But it's no less awkward now, even though Tèa's gone. Yugi doesn't want to talk and I don't want to push him if he isn't comfortable. Before long we're at school and are heading to our first class. Which has Tèa in it.

Yugi's pov

As we walked into school, I was worried. Tèa's in my first class and so is Yami. I don't want her to tell him that I have feeling for him. If she does, then I have no idea what will happen to my bond and friendship with Yami. I sigh, way more stressed than I should be. When we walked into the classroom, Tèa wasn't there. Huh. I wonder if she's sick. I hope not. Even though we're not dating anymore, I still want to be her friend. I sigh again and think that this day is going to be a long one.

*Later At Home*

Well, that was an...interesting day, to say the very least. Tristan and Joey were surprised to hear the news, which was pretty expected. I'm over Tèa now. All I have to do to be happy is to be together with Yami. And...yeah. That's about it. I sigh, wondering how I'm ever going to be able to tell him that I'm in love with him. I think I'm just going to do it plain and simple, no frills, just me and him talking.

"Yugi?" Yami calls from downstairs. Huh.

"Yeah?" I yell back.

"Can you come down here please? I need to talk to you."

"Ok, just a sec." Looks like he's the one that wants to talk to me first...probably not about the same thing though. I'll probably bring it up afterward. I head downstairs to find Yami sitting on the couch, waiting for me.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask, sitting down next to him.

"Um..."

"C'mon spit it out silly." I say, and poke him playfully. I've rarely seen Yami struggle so hard to find the words, it's kind of funny, but it also makes me a little worried.

"Yugi...I," he took a deep breath. "I think I'm in love with you." My eyes widened, but then I suddenly remembered what he said to me last night, 'if only you knew how much I care for you'.

"Oh...well, that's good 'cause I kinda am in love with you too." I say, blushing a little bit. Yami looks shocked, and I can see the wheels turning in his head.

"You do?"

"Of course Mou Hitori No Boku, why would I lie to you?" (Mou Hitori No Boku: Other Me).

"Um, you wouldn't."

"Exactly." I smile, and Yami smiles back at me, his crimson eyes beautiful and sparkling.

"I love you Yugi-chan" He says, hugging me tightly.

"Love you too Yami-san. Just so you know, I heard every word you said last night." I confessed, my voice muffled a little by his hair. We let go of each other, and Yami's face was the same shade of red as his eyes.

"Well, now you do know how much I care for you. No one will be able to break us apart. Not even the gods." My grin widens, and I can feel something warm in my chest growing, and spreading throughout my body like sunshine. I look down and both mine and Yami's Millenium Puzzles are glowing.

"Forever." I say.

"Forever." He agrees and we sit there on the couch, holding hands listening to each other's heartbeats for awhile. I start to space out, but Yami takes his free hand and turns my face so that it's facing his. I stare into the crimson pools for awhile, memorising every detail. Before I realise what's happening, Yami leans in and gently kisses me once on the lips. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach.

"Gods, I've been waiting so long to do that." He say, his voice low.

"How long?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"5,000 years, then a little more. I just wasn't aware for awhile."

-------------------------

A/N: Well, there you have it, the new update. Yay!!

Yami: Very clever with the 5,000 years thing.

Yugi: I think that Jj deserves a round of applause *Claps*

Jj: Say the disclaimer sequence guys, 'cause I have places to be.

Yami: *sighs* Jj does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or it's characters.

Yugi: She does own the plot, so don't steal it!
