Yami awoke and Ryou was no longer beside him, he was curious
too. Ryou didn’t have school today so why was he gone.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He stretched climbing out of bed and walking
downstairs, Yugi greeted him with a smile.

“Did you sleep well?” Yugi asked

Yami was silent for a moment “…fine.” He answered simply

Yami went into the kitchen hoping to find Ryou, and he
looked all over, apparently Ryou wasn’t home.

“Hikari where has Ryou gone?” Yami asked Yugi

“He’s not home?” Yugi asked

“No, when I woke up he wasn’t with me, and I cant find him.”
Yami said

“Bakura’s gone too, maybe they stepped out together.” Yugi
said

“Why would he do that?” Yami asked

“Whether or not you like it Ryou still cares for his Yami,
and probably always will too. It doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you Yami, he
does, but he and Bakura will always have a bond together.” Yugi said

“I don’t understand how Ryou can still even be near Bakura after
what he did to him, wouldn’t he feel safer with me?” Yami asked

“He does, but he also knows that Bakura truly didn’t want to
hurt him, he was more fighting his emotions than Ryou. Besides Yami after we
moved in together everyone has seemed to make peace, I even get along with
Bakura sometimes.” Yugi smiled

Yami smiled back at him his light often surprised him; he
was able to read people something Yami still had trouble with.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> But still he was worried Ryou rarely left
without telling him where he was going, and he didn’t like the idea of him
possibly being alone with his psychotic Yami.

“I’m going to look for him.” Yami quickly said

“Don’t Yami!” Yugi suddenly said

Yami looked at him surprised “Why not? What are you not
telling me?” Yami asked

“Ryou wanted to be alone for a little while that’s why he
left without telling you. I wasn’t
supposed to say anything because he knew you would go to him.” Yugi said

“What’s wrong with that?” Yami asked confused

“N-nothing wrongs with it, but you are always near him, you
never give him any time to himself. He
just wants time alone.” Yugi said

“Then where is
Bakura?” Yami asked

“That I honestly don’t know, he said something like paying
Malik a visit, you know those two.” Yugi said

Yami merely nodded. “I’m going to spend some time with Seto,
when Ryou gets home call me okay.” Yami said

“Sure” Yugi said

One Hour Later

Ryou stepped inside taking off his jacket. Yugi smiled at
him as he went to the phone. Ryou stopped him.

“Your calling Yami right?” Ryou asked

“Yes, he wanted to know when you got home.” Yugi said

“Don’t call him.” Ryou said

Yugi placed the phonwn awn and looked at Ryou curiously “Why?”
he asked “You’ve been real distant from Yami recently, are you two having
problems?” Yugi asked

“No, were not having problems.” Ryou said

“Are you trying to make him angry?” Yugi asked

“What do you mean?”
Ryou asked

“He is just worrying about you, he just wants to know where
you are and…” Ryou cut off Yugi.

“Yeah I know, at all times too…like he was my father or
something.” Ryou said sitting down on the couch.

“He wont be happy with me when he finds out I didn’t call
Ryou.” Yugi said

“Tell him I told you not to.” Ryou said simply

“I’ll ask again, are you trying to make him angry?” Yugi
asked

“I’m curious on what
he’ll do, I’ve been having these weird dreams lately…I want to see if there’s
any truth to them.” Ryou said

“Dreams?” Yugi asked

“Yeah, why?” Ryou asked

“Dreams of Yami hurting you?” Yugi asked

“Y-yes how did you know?” Ryou asked

“Bakura’s been having them too…isn’t that strange?” Yugi
asked

Meanwhile…

Yami walked into Setos mansion-like home and called his
name, but he got no answer. He walked up to Setos room opening the door and was
startled by the voice behind him.

“You know it’s not nice to sneak into peoples houses.” Seto
said slyly.

Yami only smiled at him. “I though I was welcome whenever I
wanted to come by.” Yami said sitting on Setos bed.

“You are.” Seto said straddling Yami and kissing him
passionately.

Yami grinned into the kiss, Seto was slightly more demanding
than Ryou’s submissive behavior, but he liked it nonetheless.

“I thought you weren’t coming by today.” Seto said pulling
away from him.

Yami shrugged “Ryou decided to go have some alone time.”

“Is he neglecting you Yami?” Seto said smugly

“No, not really…Yugi is supposed to call me once he gets
home though.”

Seto shrugged and moved off Yami. “Did you decide yet on
what I asked you yesterday?” Seto asked

“I haven’t spoken to Ryou yet, besides I don’t think it’s a
good idea.” Yami said

“Why not?” Seto asked impatient

“Us moving in together? With Ryou nonetheless…need I say
more Seto; he has no clue about us either. I have a feeling he would find out
soon enough.” Yami said

“You were the one who started this so called ‘relationship’
in the first place Yami…if you want to call it off feel free, but I though you
would like to Ryou away from his Yami, the two of them have been coming closer
together.” Seto said

“I know…that’s why I’m almost convinced Ryou won’t want to
move.” Yami said

“Is it Ryou who doesn’t want to or or you.” Seto said
wrapping his arms around Yami’s waist.

“I’ll talk to him about it.” Yami said kissing Seto gently.

“If the answer is yes…do you want to call off me?” Seto
asked

“I think I can work around it, maybe Ryou will agree?” Yami
said kissing him once more.
