Cards And Secrets - YAOI CHAP 11

We got ourselves dressed and got up. They wasn't back yet, Joey, Kiaba, Tristan, Duke, Ryou, Bakura and Grandpa, Thank Ra. Duke would never let me live it down if he caught me having sex with anyone, let alone Yugi, especially the way I stormed off earlier. Yugi blushed a crimson colour as he watched me get dressed and I chuckled at him. He smiled and blushed again. "Why you so shy, you have seen me naked, we just made love Yugi, why are you so shy?" I asked with a smile. He giggled and smiled at me. "It's just, I can't believe we're together," he said with a shy smile. I hugged him close to me. "Well believe it Aibou, you belong to me now," I replied softly.

He wrapped his hands around my chest as he hugged me tightly. "Thank you Yami," he replied to me. It sort of shocked me in a way, usually he'd call me by me real name, but I liked to be called Yami and he knew that. I was only ever called Yami by him when we shared a body, but he insisted on calling me it now. It felt nice.

I let go of him and headed downstairs. I sat on the emerald couch and waited. Yugi came toddling after me, he sat opposite me in the other couch and smiled at me. "What will Lexi say, she'll think you dumped her for me?" He asked thinking about it. I spread my arms across the back of the couch. "Lexi isn't important, only you are. You mean more to me than Lexi, you know that," I replied. "But she'll be annoyed and hurt," Yugi said unhappily. "I thought you didn't like her," I asked. "I don't, I just don't like people getting hurt that's all, even if its her," he simply replied.

I picked up a grape from the fruit bowl on the coffee table in front of me, I felt the firmness of it in my fingers, gently pressing it, and finally being satisfied with it, threw it in my mouth and tasted its sourness on my tongue. One of the majestic ways of eating, also one of the things I had learnt from growing up five thousand years ago, doing what I pleased as I was Pharaoh. "Well, leave Lexi to me, she don't matter. She's just a waste of space anyways, if she didn't distract me, I would have stopped that asshole in hurting you," I replied after swallowing the chewed grape in my mouth. "I suppose," he replied. And with that, the door lock opened and in walked in the gang.

I carelessly threw another grape in my mouth after testing its firmness again.

"Still eating, your royal highness?" Bakura asked simply with a smirk on his face. I looked up at him as I tested another grape. "Leave him alone Bakura," Ryou warned. "Nah, I'm just saying, he does eat like royalty don't he?" Bakura teased. "That's because I am royalty, traitor, and never forget it," I joked. Bakura didn't like my joke, he took it as an offence. "Listen, you're lucky I don't skin you alive and boil you," Bakura snapped. "That was nasty Atem," Yugi added. "And so was he," Ryou added, seizing Bakura's ear and receiving a small shriek from Bakura. Both I and Bakura lowered our heads, still glaring at each other, gave a small and annoyed 'Sorry'. He was obviously in pain. Ryou let go and tapped him on the nose adding a slight gentle touch with a soft comment of 'Behave'. Bakura winked at him and calmed down in an instant.

Duke walked in heavily laden with bags, followed by Kiaba and Joey who carried nothing as they were followed by Tristan and Kiaba's nicely paid lackeys, that were laden with bags. "Remind me why they aren't carrying anything?" Tristan asked Duke. "That's because I pay him to do my hard work and I couldn't let Joey get injured," Kiaba added. "Gee, I guess you do love him after all," Tristan teased. "Watch your tone moron," Kiaba warned. Yugi jumped up.

"Hey Yug, so how did it go with, Oh, hey so your back after all," Joey asked looking at me. I shrugged. "Well we talked," I replied simply. Yugi followed The guys into the kitchen. I heard that Serenity had gone home, as she had homework to do. I also heard that Yugi told them that we were now together. Duke trotted in after.

"Ok, so I know you're in love with Yugi, we all do and its cool, but we now gotta get Lexi off your back man, that girl wont back off," Duke said. "I know," I replied, throwing another grape into my mouth. I think they gave me some comforting taste that I liked, also because I was thinking of Yugi.

Duke itched his head for a moment. "I suppose I could talk to Mindy," he began. I groaned and he looked at me. "What?" he asked innocently. "Haven't you made out with her and moved on yet? What happened to the old Duke I once knew?" I asked. He smiled and waved it away. "He's still here," he said simply. Joey walked into the room. He seemed interested and when he started flapping his arms so hard, I thought he'd take off in a moment.

Hahaha. Joey the Bird. Forget puppy he has evolved. Hahahaa I love Domino City!

"I got a great idea!" He started leaping about. Kiaba came in the room to see what his 'pup' was doing. "My idea is great!" he beamed. Tristan, Yugi and Kiaba stared out the doorway to see what the blonde was going to scheme. "So go ahead Joey," Yugi answered finally. "We could set her up, tell Tea she was trying to make a move on Noah, and tell her that Tea tried to make a move on Atem, then after they kick the crap out of each other we can get them both arrested for GBH and Atem can make an excuse up and viola!" He beamed. Everyone looked downcast.

"Err. Joey? We can't just get them arrested and then Pharaoh to just prance in there and go 'Hey Lexi, sorry you're arrested, but get over it and good look in the slammer," Duke pointed out. We all laughed. "Well let's see you come up with a better idea Devlin," The blonde snapped. Kiaba walked forwards and wrapped his arm around the blonde and kissed him on the cheek from behind. "I thought it was a great idea," Kiaba complimented. Joey smiled.

"What about Bakura?" I asked, hinting the best idea of the suggested ones. Everyone turned to see Ryou and Bakura once again stop from their make out session and wonder what had just been said. They sat up and broke apart. "What about me?" Bakura asked defensively.

"You still have your shadow powers right?" I asked. "Yeah, but that has nothing to do with you," Bakura snapped. "Can't you send her to the shadow realm?" Yugi asked sweetly. It sounded a bit harsh, but to be honest it sounded quick and easy. "No, well yes I could but I can't be bothered," Bakura snapped back. He tried to continue with Ryou, but Ryou looked at him in a confused way.

"I thought you hated Lexi," Ryou said jealously with a bitter voice. Bakura looked startled. "I do hate her," Bakura replied once again defensively. "Then can't you send her to the shadow realm for Yugi? If not for me?" Ryou asked sweetly. Bakura thought about it for a moment. "I suppose, for you. IF I get raw steak for dinner for the next two weeks AND I get my time with you at night for the next two weeks," Bakura asked. "Deal," Ryou replied with a smile. Bakura smiled evilly.

"Oh boy, I have been waiting for the perfect excuse to send someone there," Bakura blurted out. Ryou pouted. "So you did huh?" He asked. Bakura itched his head nervously with a smile. "Erm. Seeing has we have only, well y'know once. I have wanted to do it again, but coz you won't let me, I need something to take my mind off of it," He made an excuse. Ryou was gullible but I didn't think he'd swallow this one.

However to my surprise, he swallowed the lie like he always does. He smiled and hugged his dark. Who smiled at the action and cracked his knuckles, eager to get to work on brushing up his shadow skills.

"A little harsh," I added. "Hey that girl is possessive, not to mention she was always rude to Yugi," Duke added. I sighed and nodded just agreeing to get it over with. "Cool, no doubt Bakura has experience we'll leave it to him," Joey added. "So its settled then," I interrupted wanting it done with. Yugi smiled at me and I winked back, receiving a blush on his cheeks.

"Lexi will disappear tomorrow. That is our plan," I finished.

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"Well I have the food and drink laid out on the table now if you want to help yourselves," Grandpa conveniently walked in on that stage. Of course, Joey, Duke and Tristan darted to the table. I chuckled and watched everyone but Yugi follow them.

Yugi laid on the couch and rested his head on my lap. He smiled at me and I smiled back.

I stroked the little one's hair, gently and felt it brush between my fingers, so soft. I wanted more. I wanted Yugi again, upstairs in my bedroom, us all alone. Unfortunately with our 'guests' that wasn't going to happen so I continued to stroke his hair with rhythm as he snuggled down into my jacket.

"Yami?" His voice called.

"Yes?" I replied. I looked down at his sparkling amethyst pools, so inviting and so lustful.

"When this is all over, can we be married? Or I dunno get a place of our own someday?" Yugi asked. I was breathless. I couldn't believe it, we had only started dating and he wanted to bind the relationship permanently. But then again, I didn't have any problems with it, after all that way, I'd never lose him and we'd be together forever.

I smiled gently and continued looking into his soft eyes, soft face. "Of course Aibou, we'll do both," I replied. "Will Lexi ever come back?" He asked. "Not unless you want her to," I replied with a smile. He smiled at me as I continued stroking his hair, hearing the gang crunching on crisps and food. "I don't want her to EVER come back," He said in a harsh tone. "Then she won't," I simply replied.

"I'd love to be married to you," Yugi said randomly and softly about two minutes later, in which broke my trance of stroking his hair.

"As would I, Aibou," I added. He nestled himself into my jacket and his breathing slowed after five minutes of me stroking his hair. I was relaxed and calm, he was okay, he loved me and he wanted to marry me.

I love you so much aibou, you will never know how much I love you. I thought.

His breaths were slow, his face to my chest. As I stroked his hair more softly, He drifted into a gentle and careless sleep, after his injuries and our 'activities' he must have been exhausted.

"Sleep well my aibou, I'll always watch over you. In sickness in health, for richer for poorer, till death do we part. I do Aibou."

"I do".
