☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
We are half a year later, Yami and I still tolerate each other, only he still lives in his bedroom, while I use almost the entire apartment.
One evening, I am already asleep and Yami is out with friends, when de doorbell rings, I shoot up and slowly remind my heart to calm down.
Was this a dream? Or was it real?
Just when I decide that I probably dreamed it and I lay me down in my bed again, the doorbell rings again, so not a dream.
I get up and take sweatpants out of the closet because I only sleep in my boxer due to the warm weather and walk to the door.
Yami must have forgotten his key, I think to myself.
But it is not Yami that is at the door, but Bakura, he is one of Yami his friends, and Ryou's boyfriend and roommate.
"Hey shrimp, we must talk, NOW!"
"Huh? Bakura, do you have any idea what time it is?" I ask wondering why he comes over this late.
"Nope, and I don't care too." He says while dragging me in and drop me on the couch. "How long do you plan to keep pharaoh under control?"
"Excuse me? The pharaoh? Who is that?" I ask.
"Yami is pharaoh."
Oh yeah, Bakura has a nickname for almost everyone, why? Nobody knows, but we know if he gives you a nickname, he likes you.
"I don't hold Yami under my thumb, I almost never see him here, and when I see him, he stares as if he is throwing daggers at me." I defend myself
"Shrimp, that guy is madly in love with you, only you hold him under your thumb, and I see how you look at him during classes."
"But I already have a relationship! And how does a relationship with someone of my own gender work, and is he even gay?" I ramble.
"You'll only find out if you try, shrimp. Try to open up to Pharaoh, and he'll open up to you, and that only he can tell you."
"Why do you call him pharaoh?"
"He may tell you that himself, ow, and he drinks his coffee black without sugar." and he leaves with those words, leaving me surprised. Thinking about what Bakura told me I crawl back into bed. Maybe I could bring him coffee tomorrow morning, and with those thoughts, I fall asleep again.
^^^^
I couldn't really sleep any more that night, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Yami, and stupidly enough I would have undressed him!
But somewhere Bakura is right, I like to look at Yami, he is an attractive man to see, I mean, with his exotic Egyptian appearance, he has beautiful caramel-bronce colored skin, and his eyes are so intense red!
Aarg stop! My pants sit uncomfortably on account of my growing problem, and I must wipe the drool off my face, by the way, it's not about the appearance, it's about how the person is of character, and that's where he laks.
But then I still have a problem, at the moment I have a relationship with a girl.
Rebecca Hopkins, she is the granddaughter from one good friend from grandfather, she has forced herself on me, and I have not been feeling well since I have a relationship with her, almost every night I have a headache, and I no longer sleep as I should have been, I have been trying to break up with her over more than a month, which I still have not managed.
She has blonde hair, and green eyes, freckles can be seen on her cheeks, making her look like a child, she thinks that thanks to the fact that her grandfather is namely the famous Arthur Hopkins, she can do whatever she wants.
That morning I decide to bring a cup of coffee to Yami, when it is ready I silently sneak up to his room, put the mug on his bedside table, after which I quietly sneak out of the room again, astonishing the fact that he does not lock his door when he goes to sleep, but then again, I never lock my room either.
I sit down at the table with my own coffee with milk and sugar and open my laptop to start my homework, I do it now, yesterday I had a headache again.
In my bedroom it's hot, the sun is on my window most of the day, and on days like this, I wish I had the B room because it seldom has sun.
I only spend the night in my bedroom, and since Yami lives in his room, I might as well do my homework here.
Then I hear a sound behind me. "Thank you, it was nice." I don't hear the sarcasm in his voice but gratitude.
I turn around and see that he has already disappeared.
^^^^
Something he appreciates, and something that will become a daily morning ritual from now on.
What has changed as a result, is that he tells me where he is going, and at what time he will be home, in exchange I now also tell where I'm going, what time I have to go to work, and what time do I get home, and when I do get home I see him sitting in the living room more often.
It is Tuesday afternoon, I'm leaving school and getting ready to go to work, it pours outside, and I'm annoyed that I have to walk a long way to the bus stop, so I'm going to work soaked.
"Where do you work?" Yami asks me.
"In the hospital restaurant, why?"
"I'll take you there, then you won't get soaked in, you just have to come home yourself."
"This is not a problem, thank you Yami." I say with gratitude.
He shrugs his shoulders and we walk to his car together, I'm still surprised that he offered me this.
Rebecca is sending me another message in the meantime, I turn my eyes in annoyance, she knows that today I would not see a chance to call her as I started to get out of work today.
I decide to text her after my shift, although she won't be happy, and frankly, I don't care.
"Do you have a driver's license?" That brings me back to reality and give him the answer to his question.
"Yes, for automatic cars, but not yet had time to look for a car, why?"
"No reason actually, we are there, have fun at work."
"Thanks, I guess." I get out of the car and walk inside.
"Hey Yugi, who was that boy?"
"Hey Tea, Which boy?"
Tea is the slut on the work floor, she has shared the bed with almost every man at work, except little old me, not that I care, I only see her as a co worker, nothing more, not yet in my wildest dreams I would not like to share the bed with her.
"The one who just dropped you off just a minute ago?"
"That was my roommate, his name is Yami."
"Hmm, what a treat, does he have a date?"
"I don't know Tea, I do not communicate with him as much as I would like."
"Try to find out, and give me his number, please!!!" she states more then she asks me.
"Why would I give his number to you? He will not thank me for that!"
"Because I want to date him! Give me his number!"
"Tea, I don't just give someone a number. If you want it, then you just get it yourself from him."
In the meantime, I feel my phone vibrate again, I ignore it and I throw myself into my work, there is plenty to do.
When my shift is over, I am tired and I feel a headache coming up, Tea kept asking me things about Yami, and I promised her that I would talk to him about her.
I have felt my phone vibrate during my entire shift, and when I walk outside I feel it vibrate again, I take it out my pocket and just as I have opened the WhatsApp, I'm clumsy and my phone falls out of my hand, and you guessed it..... it lands in a puddle of water!!!!!
"FUCK!!!!!!!"
I pick it up as soon as I can and fear that the damage has already happened, I'm afraid that my phone has died of a cracked screen and drowning.
"Fuck, I got that again, I can also go for a new phone tomorrow! That means longer saving for a car!"
When I get home Yami is sitting on the couch, he is playing a game that I love to play and that is mine too.
"Hey, welcome home, how was your day at work?"
"You don't want to know. Uuuuuhm, do you know a phone shop around here?" I ask changing the subject.
He looks at me in surprise and I drop my deceased phone on the table.
He takes it from the table, looks after it and then says. "Put it in rice, if it still works in three days then I will fix that screen for you."
"Thank you, but I can't go without a phone for three days, what if work calls me?"
With a sigh he gets up from the couch, and walks to his bedroom, coming back later with a phone.
"Here, I want it back the way I now give it to you, just use it for a moment until we know if you really must go for a new one."
"Thank you." I say while I put the sim card into his now my temporary phone.
I must charge the phone, which means I can't text or call Rebecca tomorrow, but do I care? Not really.
I take some painkillers for my headache, and crawl on the couch with a book, while Yami's attention is again at de game he was playing before, he must have seen me taking the meds because the tv isn't as loud as before, which I'm thankful for.
A few hours have passed in peaceful silence.
"Shit!" He swears. "Why am I not getting any further!"
I watch what he does, and then tell him. "Jump left right left."
He does what I say, and if he succeeds, he says surprised. "How did you know?"
"You don't play that game alone." I say with a wink.
Then I look at the clock, take a shower and go to bed, later that evening I hear him follow my example.
The next morning after the umpteenth restless night, I start up my temporary phone, and am blown away by all the missing calls, text messages, and voicemail messages, all from Rebecca!
I first bring Yami his coffee, and then I call her.
Phone call:
"You don't love me!" Is the first thing she shouts on the phone when she picks up.
"Rebecca, I do love you, my phone fell into a puddle of water yesterday, that's why I couldn't call you."
"But around 8 P.M. you were still online!"
"That's when it happened after work, I walked out and then my phone fell."
"I'm glad it still works."
"Unfortunately, I borrowed a phone from Yami, mine is drying in the rice."
"Do you need a new phone?"
"I don't know that until Friday, I must go now, my lessons will start soon."
"Bye Yugi-kins, I love you!"
Phone call end:
Urg, I hate her nickname for me.
I turn around and see Yami standing in the doorway.
"Thank you, it tasted good again like always." And he is gone again.
That look, he seems sad. But why?
I push it aside and go to my lessons.
When I come back from my lessons, I am happy that I have nothing for the evening and after I finish my homework, I start up the Wii and see the game is still in there.
"Can I join?"
I jump a bit from the sudden question, but then I respond with a smile. "If we have a second joystick then we can play together."
"I have." He says with a smile.
He connects his joystick with the Wii and together we play the game, I notice that we are increasingly defrosting to each other.
"I'm happy that the previous occupant has left the Wii and the game."
"The Wii and the game are mine; it was a gift from my grandfather, I placed it here because I don't have a tv cable to my bedroom, and because my bedroom is way to hot to call it comfort"
"I did not know that."
"It's okay, I don't really depend on the big clock that I like to play games."
"What kind of games do you like to play Yugi?"
"All kind of games, duel monsters are my favourite."
That evening we are talking about games, board games, computer games, card games, but especially duel monsters.
It's almost fun when.... Rebecca calls again, and I immediately get a headache.
I first let out a deep sigh before I pick up the phone.
Phone call:
"Yugi kins!" She shouts on the phone.
I see in the corner of my eye that Yami is grabbing his ears and grimacing with a painful look, yup she yells so hard it hurts.
"Rebecca how often do I have to ask you not to call me that!"
"Oh, do not complain Yugi kins, that name suits you!"
"Why do you call Rebecca? I still have a pile of homework that I need to continue with. My lie is not unnoticed by Yami, lukily he says nothing.
"Oh, wel my grandfather is coming over this Saturday, and I want you to come too."
"Rebecca, I can't come on Saturday, I work all day, and you know how tired I am after such a long shift!"
"Then you arrange that you work another day!"
"That doesn't happen just like that! I must work for a whole day to finish my hours!"
"Then you ask if you can work on Sunday!"
"Then the company is closed." Also it does not work during the week because I am in school."
"But one Saturday off should be possible?"
"Yes, if I didn't need the money for my bills then, but I need it so no! It does not work!"
I get irritated, and my headache gets worse by the minute.
"But I want to spend the whole day with you and grandpa!" She shouts through the phone.
Yami has heard clearly enough, he grabs the phone from my hand and shuts off, while he also switches off the phone.
Phone call ends:
I look at his action in astonishment if only I dared to do that.
"Really, how are you doing with that whore? I already dumped her ten times!"
"It's not that easy, she is, after all, Arthur Hopkins' granddaughter!"
"Even if she was the queen of England! She is forcing herself to you, and I can see you it does you no good at all!"
"Ugh, I don't want this right now! I am going to bed! good night!"
And with those words, I go take a shower and then I crawl in my bed.
That night I am turning and twisting, but I can't find the sleep.
Dream:
I wake up, Yami is lying on top of me and is kissing me.
I try to push him off me, but he is a lot heavier than he looks, "Y...Yami what are you doing?"
He looks deep into my eyes, and I look into his, he starts to grin, slowly I feel his hand slide to my thigh, when he is by my boxer he slides his hand in my boxer to my penis, softly he squeezes in my balls meanwhile he is still kissing me.
My penis reacts at Yami's touch, Yami is tugging at my boxer trying to get is off.
I want to feel him, and I slide my hand through his hear slowly going to his neck and then his back, I slide throw further and further until I am at where his boxer should be, but there is nothing, he is completely naked!
I feel that I am going to strawberry modus, while he gifs me kisses and goes further down, I get more and more excited by his feeling.
Slowly he goes down with the kisses and when he gets by my penis, he puts it in his mouth and begins to suck at it, hard!
I feel I cannot hold it much longer my climax is nearing its end and finally, I let my semen go out.......
End Dream:
A dream? just a dream? What disappointment!
I sit up in my bed when I realize it was just a dream, due to the cold I pull the blanket up to my chin, "Iiiiiieeeuw, it sticks between my legs!"
Strange, I didn't have a wet dream in a long time, Yami what are you doing to me?
I get up and change the sheets, shit I am in desperate need of a shower.
When I have dumped the dirty sheets in the washing machine, I bring the shower to the desired temperature.
When I am in the shower, I feel a gust of wind behind me, I look around and see Yami standing there with very big eyes and nothing but his boxer on his body, he desperately tries to hide his boner, oh no, I don't want to get a boner also, no, no, no! Shit to late....
He turns around and slams the door shut.
Shit, how much did he has seen of me?
Great, now I also have a boner, I think sarcastic, I don't really want to turn the shower to cold so start pulling myself off, desperately trying to keep my scream inside.
When I am done showering, I dry myself and dress in my school uniform.
If I come out of the bathroom, I see his bedsheets lying next to the door, I wonder, did he has also? NO, BAD YUGI NO! You may not think like that!
I pick them up and throw them into his basket, after that, I go make coffee.
Yami comes from the toilet. "What? No coffee ready yet?" He asks me, acting as nothing happened.
"You don't wake every day up with the smell off coffee." I joke when he is walking to the shower.
"You are right but yours is very yummy!" He calls from under the shower.
To tease him a bit I turn on the warm water in the kitchen, "DAMNIT YUGI!" I hear him shout under the shower.
"Oops." I smirk, cross the line haha, I laugh out loud, while I am poring myself a cup of coffee and starts to make my lunch for today.
Today I must go strate to my job after school, so I grab my work uniform and put it in my bag.
If we don't see each other, we write on the whiteboard where we are, it's something Yami hang up a cauple of days ago.
I must go to my job after school, guess I will be at home at 20.00 Not sorry for the cold shower haha, enjoy your coffee, until tonight!
I sent a text to Rebecca that my phone battery was completely empty, and that I don't have time for her today, not for texting her, not for calling her, and not for seeing her.
That dream has my mind to wander a lot today, Yami is right, she is doing me more harm then needed, I want to get rid of her, and if she is not the one doing it, I will dump her.
After a whole day intensive classes, and a couple of hard hours work, I am at home very tired, also the fact that I had that wet dream last night is not helping much also, cause everywhere I see him, my pants are getting very uncomfortable.
My shift today was with Tea, and she asks me the whole freaking time about Yami and why I'm getting livid at her.
My head begins to hurt again due to all my concerns, and they have NO painkillers in the restaurant, can you imagine? working in a hospital, and no painkillers on the working floor!
Tomorrow I have study evening with the gang, I will speak then with them about my dream and my problems, I hope they can help me.
I look at the whiteboard, thanks for the shower I did not enjoy it, haha, I'm out, I'll see you tomorrow! Coffee was nice like always, thank you.
Oops, I think he is mad.
The whole day I didn't watch my phone, and when I look as I am laying in my bed, I see that Rebecca has blown up my phone, with I don't know how many text messages.
I read them, and I'm sure she is getting irritated.
The last one she texted, I try to work on our relationship, but it must always come from me. Change or get lost!
That's it! I have had enough! I get up, get dressed and walk very mad at her apartment.
When I knock on the door, her roommate opens it before she gets the chance I ask. "Is Rebecca at home!"
"Yes, uh no, uh I mean...."
"What is it, Yes or No?"
I hear a sound coming from Rebecca her room, I forced myself past her roommate and open the door, and I see Rebecca is in the bed busy with a different woman!
I close the door and turn myself to her roommate.
"How many people come over here to fuck her? and how many times?" I'm livid and the poor girl I see in front of me is scared as hell.
"Uhm....."
"Hoe often!"
"Every evening."
"Every time the same?"
"Uhm..."
"Every time the same!!"
"No....."
"Anzu? Who is there?"
I give Anzu a sign to say nothing, and after a short moment Rebecca is coming out her room.
"Yugi-kins, what a nice surprise! But did you not say I would see you tomorrow?"
"No, I came tonight, Rebecca! And I'm not happy with what I saw in your bedroom! I hate it when people think they can sleep with other people behind my back, and you! You just proved that you are such a person!"
"But I have needs, and you never answer my text messenger!"
"That's a weak excuse, Rebecca!! And then, I have a life, I study, and I have a job! I can't afford to look at the phone every fucking minute for what you want! But you know what? I'm done with you I throw your number out my phone and I block you!!! I want nothing more to do with you!! If your grandfather invites me to a dinner party then I will come, I will remain polite to you, but I never want to have any more contact with you!!"
When I have expressed my anger against her, I turn around and walk away.
The gods must hate me today because when I come outside it rains hard again! "Fuck" I scream, "Why am I being punished while she was the one who was wrong?"
I start my walk home; my head explodes from the pain I suffer right now.
While walking, Rebecca is texting and calling me AGAIN! I get sick of it and in a furious mood, I throw the phone against a wall, where it falls apart into complete pieces.
"FUCK, BITH, SLUT, WHY CAN YOU NOT LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" I scream with all the anger I have in my lungs.
I let myself fall on the street and smash my fist on the pavement, then I roll into a ball and cry until I have no more tears, finally, I get up, I gather the broken phone and continue my way home.
Yami and I arrive at the apartment at the same time, his gaze changed from cool to worried.
"What happened to you!" He exclaims.
I grab my arching head, his words arrive louder than intended.
"Is it that bad?" I ask him with a painful look.
"You look pale, you look like a cat that tried to swim, and your fist is smashed! You look terrible!"
"Wanted to see if I could fight the street, too bad for me the street won." I try to sound cool, but I fail.
"Not funny Yugi, what happened! And now the truth... please."
"I'm sorry Yami, your phone is broken. Rebecca drove me crazy and in a furious mood I broke it into pieces, I'll pay you a new one."
I await the next fury, but now from him while he looks at me, he opens his mouth and says.
"Take a shower, we talk when you are done."
His voice, while the normal sounds authority and hard, he sounds now, soft, calm, and worried?
I listen to what he says and gather my stuff to take a shower.
"Yugi? Will you please leave the lock from the door?"
"Why?"
"You look like the pain is getting too much for you, I want to be able to come to you if something happens to you in the bathroom."
I do not go against it farther, and at his request I leave the door of the lock, he is right, my head feels literally cracked, and in the shower while soaping my hair the pain only gets worse, I still get the chance to rinse my hair but then it goes black in front of my eyes, I hear a loud crack and feel a stabbing pain go through my shoulder before I completely lose consciousness.
^^^^
When I recover I am in bed, my headache feels a little less, but I do not dare to get up again for I fear another pain attack, with my left hand I go through my hair, they are still a bit wet, I quickly look under the sheet and I see that I am wearing a boxer, I go to the strawberry mode about the idea that Yami has actually seen me naked, and he has attracted me to a boxer.
Ow, even thinking about Yami hurts, I stay in bed too tired and to much pain to get up.
The door opens, Yami has a glass of water in his hand and sits down on the bed, he gently puts an arm around my neck and pulls me up a little and then helps me drink.
"How do I get over here? I ask when I am done drinking."
"You fainted in the shower, and I'm afraid we must have a new glass plate installed because you went through it, I just put you down here and called the doctor, he'll be here soon."
"Thanks, but I don't need a doctor."
"Yugi, you've been pale for a couple of weeks, you rub your head every night because you have a headache not to speak on the amount of painkillers you take, you look like you're not have slept for days, and you've made such a hard smash, I want to make sure that that injury on your shoulder and hand are not infected. You do need a doctor now!"
I feel my right shoulder, a towel is laying at it, he is right, I do sleep a couple of weeks bad, and I do have almost every evening headache, but why is Yami so concerned about it? Is Bakura right? Does he like me like love?
We hear a soft knock at the door, and Yami goes open it, de doctor walks in and Yami stays in my bedroom door waiting.
"Hello Yugi, your roommate called me, you fainted in the shower?"
"Apparently, I cannot remember it." I respond.
"Do you have it a lot, that you faint?"
"No, but I have a lot of headaches lately."
"And where starts the pain?"
I point where it starts and where it goes to.
"Hmm, tension headache, do you ever see it in your family?"
"I don't know, my grandfather and I never talked about it."
"And your parents?"
"Mom died during childbirth, dad killed himself."
"Any siblings?"
"Just a twin brother, he died during childbirth also due to complications."
He looks at my shoulder and my fist.
"Your shoulder needs stitches, I can do that over here, your fits is just scratched, I put a bandage over it and it should be healing in a couple of days."
"I just nod, too tired to say any more."
"After he is done with my shoulder, he turns to Yami."
"When starts your holidays?"
"Next week." Yami says.
"I think it is wise if you do nothing next week, no job no school, a week off will do you good, go out with friends, visit your family. I will give you painkillers, those are a bit heavier than the standard, one pill every 4 hours and only if you get a headache. And some antibiotics so your wounds do not infect."
"What if he gets sick after this? He doesn't have any family to go to." Yami asks.
"Then I hope his roommate is willing to take care of him."
"Of course, thank you, doctor." Yami response again, to think of it, Yami taking care of me. I hope I don't get sick, but with how I feel? I doubt it.
Yami walks de doctor out, and stays out for a couple of minutes, when he is back he looks at me.
"You stay home tomorrow; I'll ask your friends if they can come here tomorrow for study night."
"Thank you Yami." I say while my eyes closed and let me drag me to the land of Nod.
And that night, the toilet becomes my best friend, Yami is not leaving me, he holds the hair out my face, gives me water when I puked and carries me back to bed when I fell asleep on the toilet seat.
The next morning Yami calls me sick at my job and takes the day off from school to take care of me.
He lays a cold compress at my head to bring the fever down, and takes care I stay hydrated, if he tries to let me eat a small piece of bread, I run to the toilet, and puke it out, again he holds the hair out my face, and with his other hand, he strokes my back to calm me down, if my stomach is empty again he carries me to bed and tucks me in.
"Yami?"
"What is it Yugi?"
"Do you want to be my friend?"
"I would love to Yugi, now get some rest." He says softly and kisses my head.
With a smile on my face, I fall asleep.
When my friend comes over, they send Yami to bed because he didn't sleep last night.
"Go to bed Yami, we take care of Yugi now." Says Joey.
"Thanks, guys."
Ryou is seriously concerned about me, he calls the doctor a second time.
If he comes, he looks at me again and says that I have a serious fever.
He orders to take my temperature every hour, if the fever goes up they need to call him again, also they must keep me hydrated.
Saturday and Sunday go by in a blur, I sleep a lot, and Yami or the guys take care of me, they wake me up to drink or eat a bit.
The fever isn't going up but goes slowly down.
Monday, I wake up, I feel a bit better but still have a fever, I want out my bed, I put on my sweatshirt and sweatpants put on my favourite music channel, take my book and crawl on the couch.
Besides the music it is quiet in the apartment, I heard Yami go out an hour ago, not knowing where to he went.
About an hour later, Yami comes home, he is carrying bags in his arms, and peeks around the corner.
"Hey, you are up." He says with a smile.
"Yeah after a whole weekend seeing almost nothing but my bedroom, I wanted to see something differed now."
He puts the bags on the counter and walks towards me and puts his hand at my head.
"Your fever is almost gone, how do you feel?"
"Hmm, Not yet how I suppose to feel, what happened to me?"
"Thursday evening you came home, looking pale and like a drowned cat, in the shower you passed out, that night you got a fever and slept until today most of the time due to the high fever you've got." He explains to me.
"Can you remain me why I was out that night?"
"You told me that whore pissed you and that you threw my phone against a wall."
Now I remember everything that happened that evening, guilt is crawling op against me, I rolled myself to a ball.
"Yugi please talk to me, what happened? You are not the type of person that breaks something without a reason, and then you do it only when you see red before your eyes. And from a very positive boy you've becomes very miserable after you met that girl."
"Is the phone repairable?" Is my only question.
"No, yours is truly drowned, and mine is also not repairable, you must have been very pissed if you were able to break it."
"I was, a co-worker of mine kept bugging me about you, wanting to give her your phone number. Rebecca had sent me messages the whole day, each one getting her more and more irritated when I had read the last one I was done with her, I could not focus that whole day, and the texts from Rebecca draw the line, I got over her apartment and when I was there she was messing with another women, her roommate told me Rebecca was fucking every night with another person, I told her I only would visit her grandfather, and I only be polite at her then, but further I don't want to do anything with her anymore. I turned around and walked away, she started calling and texting me again, that was the moment I snapped and throw the phone to the wall, and... and...."
"Say no more Yugi, you had a couple of rough months, the phone I don't care about, more important I find that you were able to come home safe, that you got sick afterward is only thanks to her. And that co-worker of yours? well I'm not into the girls, I like men."
"Wow, I thought you were into the girls, you know like a lady-killer." I say a bit stunned.
"No way, give me a dude, I don't like drama queens, except for you, by you it's cute."
"Hey, I'm no drama queen."
"Shure honey."
Did he really call me honey there? Not knowing what to say, I turn my head to my book, trying to let my tears not come out. Yami lets himself fall on the couch and swings an arm around me.
"Hey I know we didn't start at the right terms, for now, I want you to let your tears out and cry, and after that, we start over again, how sounds that?"
I look into his eyes for a long period, and then I don't want to hold back my hurt, I want comfort, I want friendship with him, and with that I let my tears go, I cry like a little hurt kid, and I bury my face in his chest, he strokes my back.
"There there, cry it all out baby, sometimes you just need it, and where I have my parents to cry on, I let you have me to cry on, I want to be your friend who gives you a shoulder to cry at."
I cry and cry and cry, until I am so tired I cry myself to sleep, if I wake up after a while I have my blanket on top of me, Yami is messing in the kitchen, and if he peeks around the corner and sees that I'm awake, he comes with a plate, some buns and 2 steaming mugs standing on it.
"Hey, sleep well?"
I just nod.
"I made us lunch, which tea do you like?"
"Forrest fruit, no sugar, please."
"Good choice, also my favourite, ow and we would start over again, my name is Yami Sennen your roommate. He says while reaching me his hand."
I giggle and play along, I also reach my hand and say, "Hey my name is Yugi Muto, a pleasure to meet you roomy."
"Nice to meet you to, how about a game roomy?"
"I love games, what kind of game do you have in mind?" I ask
"Questions, you ask a question and the other answer it, after that the person who asks the question answers his own before it is the others turn." He explains.
"What is the point to this game?"
"It's a way to get to know each other."
"I think I like this game, let's play it, you may start Yami."
"Okay, uhm, do you have siblings?"
"No, my twin brother died during childbirth, do you?"
"I am sorry for your lost, and no, I am an only child, mom told me it was hell enough to push me out hahahaha. Seemed I was a heavy baby, can you imagine with how small I look now?" he jokes.
"Together we laugh at that comment."
"Okay my turn, uhm, do you like animals, and which one do you like the most?"
"Yes, I love animals, but if I have to chose I get a cat."
"No way me to, I hate it that we cannot have animals over here, maybe we would become friends earlier than."
"Yeah maybe, okay my turn, when is your birthday?"
"I was born on the forth of June, so I am a twin, and my Chinese sign is a rat."
"I was born at the twenty-six of Juli, so I am a lion, and my Chinese sign is a pig."
The whole afternoon we ask questions at each other and have a lot of fun with it, but there is one question I don't dare to ask him, he sees me doubting.
"Yugi friendship means to trust in each other, and tell and dare to ask everything at each other, if I don't want to answer the question it's my choice, but if I choose to answer I will be honest."
"Then I do the same Yami."
"Then spit, what do you dare not to ask me?"
"Why did you want your own room at the start of the school year?"
"I was afraid that they would use me for who I am, I have a title you know." And with a sigh he says, "Yami isn't even my real name." He sighs again and says, "My real name is Atem."
"You are the crown prince of Egypt?"
"Yes, and I am truly deeply sorry that I didn't tell you sooner."
"No Ya... At... what do I call you?"
"Call me how you like it, but please, if we are somewhere public call me Yami then."
"I like your true name, so over here you will be Atem, and I am okay with the fact that you didn't tell before, I mean I would test the people to just to be sure they don't use you for your money and not for who you are, but know, I will be your friend for who you are, I don't need money."
"I feel you speak the truth, thank you Yugi."
"Oh no, and I have broken your phone, what do you think about me now!" I then realise.
"Hey, I think nothing, you were in distress so I forgive you for that, this was just my old phone I kept it as a spare, Yugi I don't want you to feel guilty about it baby."
"Atem, what think your parents that you are, uhm you know..... gay?"
"They don't mind, if I am happy that what's count for them."
"And you? Are you Bi, Gay, straight?" he asks me.
"Uhm the guys and I say that I am Bi as long I don't know what gender I like, but after Rebecca, I think I chose maybe gay? But I don't know yet for sure."
"Okay, you had 4 questions after each other, so it's only fair if I am getting 3 more." He says and I nod. "What are you looking in a partner?"
"Uhm, someone who is there for me, who takes me for me and not how I look, who supports me in my choices, but dare to say if he doesn't agree, who gives me space when I need it, but is there for me when I need it, and after Rebecca someone who isn't pushing themselves to me."
And when I am calling al these thing I realize that Atem is that person, he took care of me when I needed him the most, he borrowed me his spare phone, and we talk if we know each other many years now, I blush with that.
"You seem to been looking the same things as me." he says softly and he is blushing too.
"Had you ever had sex?" He then asks me.
I think about it and say then "Rebecca undressed herself once, but I felt nothing at it, I told her I wasn't ready for it, so still a virgin I even don't look porns."
"Still, am I, due to the fact I can't have it until I have found a partner and marry him, but I am aloud to look porn, so when I do it the first time, I know what to do." Atem says and continues to his last question of the three. "Do you want to go on a date with me?"
Right at that moment, I take a sip of my tea, I choke in it, and start coughing, Yami hits me on my back while I try to get my breath back.
"Sorry I didn't want to scare you."
"No, it's not that, you asked me that question and I...."
"But?"
"I think I want to try a gay relationship, but give me time, I mean, I broke up a couple of days ago, and I need to get use to the idea, I guess."
"I understand baby." And he gives me a kiss on my cheek
Wow, this feeling, I like it a lot and never ever I felt this with Rebecca.
"So the friend zone it is then?"
"Yes, for now, I think I feel better by that." I say and feel myself falling asleep due to the fever that is still lurking in my body.
