To Tell You

Yugi woke up that morning feeling miserable




 

Yugi woke up that morning feeling miserable. It took a
minute for him to realize why before he inwardly groaned and rolled out of bed.
He remembered now; all those distractions from the previous day that kept him
from telling of his true feelings for his yami.

 

He dressed for school sluggishly, all the while thinking of
when he could tell Yami he loved him at school. He went downstairs to wait for
his dark side to finish his shower and get dressed as well before they went to
school together.

 

After eating a quick breakfast the two holders of the
Millennium Puzzle started their trek to school in silenAs tAs they did Yugi all
the while was continuing to think of the perfect time to tell Yami where they
could be alone together.

 

“Um, Yami?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Do you have plans for today? After school or anything?”

 

“No, why? Did you wish to do something, aibou?”

 

Yugi blushed and turned away quickly so Yami wouldn’t
notice. “No, just wondering is all.”

 

“Alright then; if you’re sure?”

 

“Yup, just curious is all.”

 

Yami left it at that and they continued on their way to
school in silence.

 

Arriving at school the duo met the rest of the gang at the
front gate; Joey late as usual. When their blonde friend finally arrived just
minutes before the bell they all walked into the building together.

 

Separating to go their separate ways to their lockers Yugi
was suddenly struck with an idea that might work.

 

‘I could just leave him a note in his locker!’ He
thought. ‘ bri brilliant!’ He was about to commend himself for his
excellent thinking until he saw a girl he’d seen around school sometimes stick
a note in someone else’s locker and he frowned. ‘Then again, maybe not.
Anybody could see me do it just like I did with her. That would be
embarrassing!’ He blushed andcklyckly turned away from Yami once more
before he noticed and asked about it. ‘Besides,’ he added as an
afterthought, ‘I want to tell Yami myself.’

 

Once in the classroom they took their usual seats next to
each other near the back of the classroom with Tristan sitting in front of
Yugi.

 

‘Maybe if I gave Yami a note telling him how I felt.
Everyone’s always passing notes in class so surely nobody would notice if I
passed one to Yami. Even if they did they would never know what it said…’
He was about to inwardly celebrate for his second stroke of sudden genius for
the day before he then realized, ‘What if he lost it and someone found out
it was from me to him?!’ He then
thought of an even better idea. He quickly scribbled that he needed to speak to
Yami privately and very important at lunch…but just as he was about to pass it
over to his yami he worried that Yami would think something was wrong with him
and bug him through further notes all day until school was over. He crumbled
the note up quickly and stuffed it in his pocket and packed his stuff up for
the next class.

 

Yugi looked up to see if Yami was ready to go when the bell
rang, but froze when he saw the older teen looking at him curiously. “What?”

 

“You had a note? Didn’t you want to give it to me?”

 

“Uh? No!” He quickly shouted.

 

Yami looked at him curiously for a minute before shrugging.
“All right then. Let’s go; we don’t want to be late.”

 

“Sure, late.” Yugi laughed nervously, glad that Yami had
dropped the subject on the note crumbled inside his pocket.

At lunch Yugi searched through the front of yard of the
school high and low for his yami before he finally found him sitting by a tree,
thankful he seemed alone, and he hurried over as fast as he could without
seeming to anxious. However, upon getting closer, he found Tea lying beside
Yami, clinging to his arm threateningly like she was going to break it off if
he tried to leave without inviting her to come along.

 

‘I’ll just wait until Tea isn’t around him then.’ He
thought miserably, his spirits dropping at ever being able to tell Yami how he
truly felt about him.

 

Shaking his head in despair he walked away, unknowing that
he was being watched by to two pairs of knowing eyes.

 

Malik and Ryou watched as their fellow hikari walked away
after he seemed so relieved to see him. Concerned for his friend, Ryou followed
him and afterwards Malik wasn’t all that far behind him either.

 

“Yugi! Wait!” The hikari of the Ring called loudly.

 

The tri-color haired teen stopped and turned to wait for his
two friends.

 

“What’s up with you, Yugi?” Ryou asked worriedly.

 

“Yeah, you seemed to anxious to get to Yami lately but then
you just walked away from him when you get closer.” Malik added once he caught
up.

 

Yugi just shook his head and tells them not to worry about
it.

 

Malik smirked and closed his eyes significantly, thinking he
looked superior to anyone when he did it. “I know what’s wrong with you.” He
said softly in a deliberate tone.

 

Yugi gasped and stared at the ground guiltily, a blush
covering his pale cheeks as he toed the ground in embarrassment. “Is it really
that obvious?” He whispered.

 

Malik nodded when Yugi looked back up at him. Ryou looked
between his two frs wis with confusion before he sighed in irritation. “Well
I’m glad you know what’s going on here, but do you mind filling me in?”

 

“Our little Yugi her is in love with Yami, but doesn’t want
to tell him with other people around to hear him.” Malik explained simply.

 

Yugi’s blush darkened and he looked away to avoid looking at
them. “Just don’t worry about it, okay?” He told them stubbornly. “I can do
this myself.” With that said he started away from his two friends, a saddened
expression covering his face.

After school Yugi walked ahead of Yami, annoyed out of his
mind. He mumbled an excuse that he needed to see a teacher when Yami asked
where he was going, but really he just wanted to be alone for a minute. Yami
left hesitantly.

 

When he met Yami outside the gates Tea was once more hanging
off his arm for dear life.

 

“I thought you didn’t have anything to do after school?”
Yugi grumbled out.

 

“I didn’t.” Yami informed him. “But Tea asked if I would
help her study for a test at lunch. She asked if she could come home with us
and I said that would be fine. Did you think of something you wanted to do? You’ve
been awfully quiet all day.”

 

“No, it’s fine. I just figured we could go to the arcade or
something, but some other time. After all, I don’t want to get in the way of
Tea’s studying or anything.” He mocked, knowing fully well that Tea was just
going to try and get Yami’s pants off.

 

Arriving at the game shop, Yami and Tea immediately settled
on the couch and spread their books over the coffee table while Yugi went
upstairs and locked himself in the bedroom out of frustration alone. He felt
like screaming at the top of his lungs already and it was only the second day
he actually tried telling Yami anything. He turned to stare at the clock and
counted up to only half a minute before he heard a loud yelp of surprise coming
from downstairs.

 

Sighing again, he flopped on the bed and hid his face in his
pillow so nobody would hear him cry out his sadness if they happened to walk by
(which was highly unlikely since his grandpa was out with friends for the day
and Yami and Tea would be busy downstairs).

 

He knew Tea had just kissed Yami and that was the yelp of
surprise coming from downstairs from Yami. He knew when Yami told him at the
school gates what Tea had asked him to do that she would try. It could only be
a matter of time before he heard moans of pleasure. After all, Tea could get
anyone she wanted into bed.

 

‘Yuck!’ He thought in disgust. He wondered briefly if
Mrs. Gardner knew of his daughter’s disgusting habit of sleeping with the guys
at school whenever she found even the slightest about of interest in them.

 

The thing the small hikari was worried about though wasn’t
the kiss alone though. He was more scared of the fact that now that Tea had
made her move, no matter how obvious it was that she would, it would be even
harder to get Yami alone to talk to him. Now he wasn’t even sure if he could
tell him or not.

 

He jumped off the bed and sloppily did his homework as fast
as he could before climbing into bed and going to sleep before Yami came
upstairs.
