Whee! Second chapter! Can someone review the story? Please? It'd be much appreciated...

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh

/Yugi's telepathic speech/
//Yami's telepathic speech//

~*~*~*Break Away*~*~*~

"Yugi, wake up!"

I feel groggy. Very, very groggy, and I can't open my eyes...wait, almost...nope. My eyes are sealed shut. I wonder who that is...

"YUGI!!"

My eyelids snap open to reveal my extremely worried looking Yami. Looking around, I realize I'm in my bedroom, covered in every single blanket we own. My head hurts a little, but I can put up with it.

"What happened?"

"Joey found you on Tsay Street; you were completely unconscious. When he brought you here you were white as a sheet! Freezing too, you were like an ice cube! I should be the one asking you what happened! Whatever possessed you to walk outside in that storm anyhow??"

"It was only raining Yami, it's not such a big deal."

As soon as the words escape my mouth, a streak of lightning flashes outside the nearby window, soon followed by a loud thunderclap.

"Not a big deal aibou?"

"...shut up."

I move to pull the sheets over my head, but my Yami stops me, gently holding my hands in his.

"Aibou...please, tell me what happened."

"I..."

How can I tell him? How do you tell someone whom you've lived with for years that first of all, well, you're gay, and second of all, that you're in love with his biggest enemy. He HATES Seto, LOATHES him maybe. Plus, he's been dating Tea for over two months now...would he even understand?

To my utmost shock, he cups my face with his hands and moves closer to me. He's practically sitting on top of me, only inches away from my face.

"Tell me." he whispers, gentle as a dove.

So many feelings and memories flood my mind right there. I thought for sure that my 'phase' as I referred to it, was over. 'Phase' being the period of time that I was insanely attracted to Yami. After all, how couldn't I be? He's like an older, better looking version of me, and I know I'm not ugly. I'm not conceited, but I do consider myself worthy material as far as looks go.

I could spend hours just gazing at him, trying to figure out just how to achieve closeness with him. Then I started having feelings for the brunette billionaire, just DAYS before he and Tea became a couple.

I was confused and in turmoil at the same time. Why? Why did God have to do to to me? To cause me to fall in love with my darker self, cause HIM to fall for HER, and then have ME rejected by another. Why?

I thought it was over, I thought I had succeeded in forgetting about my Yami, forgetting how beautiful his crimson eyes are, forgetting that when he held me I got shivers down my spine. Rather difficult now, he's so close, we're so damn close...

"Aibou?"

He moves his hands from my face to my neck, and all I want to do is spring up and hold him, hold him until I die, but it's useless. Why cause him pain? Why to tto take him from Tea and then have to tell him I love Seto? Wouldn't I be just as horrible as whoever put me in this mess?

Yami suddenly envelops me in a tender embrace. IS HE READING MY FUCKING MIND?? How does he instantly know what I want, what I NEED? Is he doing this just torment me? To get my hopes up and then squash them like a helpless insect? I wish I could tell him everything, I want to, I need to...but all I can do is cry.

Once again the tears flow freely, yet again I'm soaking someone's shirt, burying my face in someone's shoulder. Yami slowly strokes my back, trying to console me.

"God, Yugi please tell me what it is."

All I can do is clutch onto him tighter and just pray he'll stay here. I can't even lift my face from his shoulder, it's too much. It's all too much pain...

"YAMI??"

Startled, Yami whips his head around, and this time I'm able to hide under the blankets like I wished earlier. I know wt ist is, I can tell just by her voice. Tea Gardener.

"...er..."

"You had better have a good reason as to why you are sitting on top of Yugi."

"I was trying to console him."

"Oh really. You expect me to believe this?"

"He's my light, I care for him a great deal. I've told you this before. If you can't deal with it then leave."

I get brave enough and peek out from where I've been hiding. Tea is standing in the doorway, tears shining in her peacock blue eyes. Blue eyes... oh God no. Not again, if I keep dwelling on him then I...

"Deal with it? You want me to DEAL WITH IT? We've been together for over 2 MONTHS and you think I can just let this slide? How the hell would you feel if you saw me sitting on top of Mai, holding her that close? Do I even mean ANYTHING to you?? I know you and Yugi are close...but...THAT CLOSE??"

Yami takes a deep breath, I can tell he's about to say something that might not go over .
.

"I am his darkness, he is my light. How we choose to fit together is our business. We are NOT going to be separated, and I think it's best you leave. NOW."

I feel sorry for Tea, really I do. None of this is her fault at all, and there she is, crying her eyes out by my bedroom door, told to leave because she wants him to be faithful. If it weren't for me...

//Aibou, stop thinking like that. It's not your fault. If she can't realize that you need my attention too then I don't want to be with her. It's that simple.//

/You two were so happy though, and-//

"Fine! Go ahead then! Why don't you just make sweet love to your PRECIOUS light then? Then again, who's to say you haven't?"

Sobbing, Tea slams the door, wearing out the already damaged hinges. I cringe at the noise, and Yami rolls off of me and pulls me to his side. My tears are still falling, but there's no more sound. He wipes my tears off my face and presses his forehead to mine.

//Please, let it all out, tell me.//

/You'll be upset. You'll hate me./
