Something About You... (Yami Yugi x Reader x Jaden x Yusei)

Chapter 18: Dreams and Drugs

Yami's POV

Another day of struggling to stay awake. I refused to take any pills for my KLS; coffee would always do just fine. Even though I knew it wouldn't. I always fell asleep during class, and the teachers were getting worried about me rather than annoyed.

I must say, it peaked during Pre-Calc. Math was always my best class, so I tended to fall right asleep. One teacher would let me sleep and the other would let me drink coffee in the class. The students just asked me for help with their classwork and exit tickets.

I looked forward to sleeping at lunch the most. Y/n would let me sleep on her shoulder while she ate. My heart was not only warmed by the gesture but the fact that she would continue to do so even if my hair was in her way. Her lovely scent would tickle my nostrils as I slept.

However, while I slept at lunch, I could feel at least two searing gazes trained on me, green with envy. Strangely enough, I recognized the source of gazes, and in the pit of my stomach came a warm feeling as I felt them. Y/n didn't seem to notice, though. It was refreshing to sense that innocence from such a pretty girl.

However, today at lunch, I felt awake enough to last the entirety of the period. Y/n was the first to voice her surprise.

"Yami...! You're awake! Are you starting to take your pills more?" I take no pills for it, but it certainly was surprising. Yusei nodded in agreement. "At least Y/n's shoulder can finally rest." I could hear the slight bitterness in his voice. It's good to know that he was jealous. Tea slurped up her bubble tea with a knowing look in her eyes as she stared at Yusei. "Then maybe you can act as his pillow next time, Yusei, if you're so worried about Y/n's shoulder bone."

Y/n instantly protested. "Oh, no, he doesn't have to do that for my sake." I couldn't deny that flutter in my heart when she spoke those words. She wanted to be the only one who let me rest my head on their shoulder. And, it was her.

Jaden argued suddenly. "If he wants a pillow, try one of those pillows you use on a plane! I know where you can get ones real cheap!" Yusei nodded in agreement as my heart clenched in slight anger. Pompous Alexis shot back, flipping her hair elegantly. "How dare you, peasant?! To force one of our servants to purchase such boorish material?! He deserves only the finest silk our gold can acquire!!"

The brunette boy's eyes widened. "Waaait, since when do you care about your subjects?!"

Akiza finally stared at me and nodded slightly. It was then that I understood. The girls were trying to protect me. I could feel my body heat up. Did they think that I was meant to be the one who rested his head on Y/n's shoulder? No, that seemed ridiculous. I mean, I'm awake today.

The h/c girl had no clue what her friends were trying to accomplish but smiled at me anyway. I probably blushed because the heat from my body went right up to my face. I had to look away from that lovely face.

After school, I decided to get a head start on my homework before I pass out once again. Luckily, Pre-Calc could be done online, so I would be finished in about ten minutes. I would much rather do it on the train than outside the school benches.

But I couldn't get a head start on this particular train.

Not with Y/n in the same car.

So I stared at her instead. She was down the car a ways away, looking at her phone and listening to music. I had no idea she even took this train. But now that I knew that she took this train, this car, I would have to stop here more often.

I wondered how in the world she never noticed me. It's quite easy to pick me out from other people, what with my hair and all. Perhaps she was doing her own math homework? For some reason, as I pondered this, I found it genuinely hard to actually stand up and walk to her. My legs were frozen, and my vocal chords were stuck shut.
