Walking into the apartment, Yami shut and locked the door. "Hungry?" Yami inquired as he headed for the kitchen. The pangs of hunger hit Yugi's stomach about then, as Yugi hadn't really eaten much of Ryou's snacks, just hung onto Yami for dear life. Blushing, Yugi nodded and followed Yami into the kitchen. As Yami opened the refrigerator, he pulled out two cans of soda, handing one to Yugi. Reaching into a drawer, he pulled out a trifold brochure. Handing it to Yugi, Yami popped the top, taking a drink. Looking at the paper, Yugi burst out laughing.

"What?" Yami looked confused.

"I forgot you don't cook." Yugi grinned, looking through the takeout menu. After making his decision, Yugi handed the menu to Yami. Yami didn't even look at it, setting it down as he pulled out his cell phone and hit a button. Holding the phone to his ear, Yami ordered crab rangoon as an appetizer, hunan chicken for himself, and sweet and sour chicken for Yugi.

Relocating to the living room, Yami turned on some relaxing jazz, turning the lights down. Yugi smiled, sitting down on the couch. Yami sat next to him, saying nothing, content to be sitting with Yugi. Yugi laid his head on Yami's shoulder. "I was so upset when I thought you were dead." Yugi admitted, playing with the tab on his can.

"I'm sorry. I wish I could have told you, but as I said...we had one shot at this." Yami murmured, running his fingers through Yugi's hair.

"So...where does this leave us?" Yugi asked, still intent on the can tab.

"What do you mean?" Yami asked, tipping Yugi's head to meet those beautiful amethyst eyes.

"Well...are you staying up here to work on this with me? Or are you going back down? And if we do make it...what happens when I die?"  Serious amethyst looked up at Yami.

Yami frowned, sighing.  "Of course I'm staying up here with you.  I love you.  I want to live the rest of time with you.  But what happens when you die?  That I don't know."

About then the doorbell rang.  Yami grabbed his wallet and went, getting the Chinese food.  Paying the delivery man, he kicked the door shut.  Shuffling the food, Yami locked the door and then headed over, pulling out the food.  As the two ate, thoughts went through their heads, along with the smooth jazz.  Eating in companionable silence, both leaned back afterwards, in silence.

Yugi lay down, putting his head in Yami's lap.  Smiling, Yami closed his eyes, running his fingers again through Yugi's hair.  Both sat in relaxed silence, enjoying this first moment of true peace since meeting each other.  After at least an hour of comfortable silence, Yugi looked up at Yami.  "Yami?"  He asked quietly.

"Hmmm?"  Yami asked drowsily, looking down at Yugi.

"C...can we make love?"

Yami felt himself immediately start to stiffen.  "Are you sure?"  Yami asked gently.

Yugi nodded, biting his bottom lip.  "I want my first time to be with you."

Helping Yugi sit up, Yami stood, picking Yugi up and taking him to the bedroom.  Laying him on the bed, Yami slid to his knees beside the bed.  Taking Yugi's face in his hands, Yami started kissing gently on Yugi's face, holding him like he was a precious jewel.  Of course, to Yami, Yugi was.  Yugi's eyes slid closed as a happy sigh slipped out of Yugi's lips.  Yami continued to kiss Yugi's eyelids, nose, cheeks, and then slid down, taking those plump roses in his mouth.  Moaning at the exquisite tease inherent in all the kisses, Yugi put his arms around Yami, pulling him closer.

Yami deepened the kiss.  Nibbling on Yugi's lips, Yami pulled back.  Yugi's eyes were hooded, his breathing shallow.  Yami smiled, running his fingers over Yugi's still clothed chest and abdomen.  Shivering, Yugi grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulling it off.  Yami smirked.  "Anxious little one?"  Yami whispered, his breath ghosting over Yugi's collar bone.  As the goosebumps started to rise on Yugi's arms, Yugi couldn't seem to find words.  Nodding, the crimson color flared through Yugi's cheeks.
