Chapter Seventeen

Tea was in full party preparations mode as she put her bags away and ran over to Seto's room where Yami was putting his stuff away, "Um, Yami? Can you go to the gas station down the street and get some soda for me cause I forgot to bring some, Yugi said he's fresh out of it and you know that Joey and Tristan do not have enough money to get three packs of soda!"

Yami was glaring daggers at her, "Why can't you get Seto to do it?"

Tea and Yami both glanced at Seto who was storing his daggers away and was mumbling, "If anybody touches these, they're dead meat!"

He glared over at Tea and Yami, making them both whirl around, gulp and whisper to each other, "No way!"

Yugi suddenly jumped into the room, yelling happily, "I'll go with you, Yami!"

He wrapped his arms around Yami's neck and smiled, "It'll give us some time alone, just me and you."

Yami looked helpless as he mumbled, "I guess I'll do it."

Yugi jumped up and ran out the door, yelling all the way, "See ya, Tea! Start getting things ready for me!"

Tea yelled at Yugi, "YUGI!!! Shouldn't you get some money first?"

Yugi slowly crept back into the room, a big blush on his face, "I guess that would help."

Yami couldn't help but laugh and smile at his little angel's face as he grinned up at Yami, a crimson blush on his face.

He grabbed the ten dollar bill out of Tea's hand, "Okay, we're off!"

He waved as he walked out the door, "See you later, Tea!"

Yami smiled dreamily and Tea beamed up at him, "Love sure is sweet, isn't it?"

Yami sighed, "You don't know the half of it."

Tea laughed as she watched Yami walk out the door and into the hallway.

Yugi was glad that he and Yami was having a little time by theirselves even if it was just down the street and back.

It seemed like that they hadn't had any time by themselves for ages!

Yami was silent as they walked to the gas station but Yugi knew that he was happy cause he had a small smiled plastered on his face and Yugi knew that he only looked like that when he was content and happy.

Yugi grinned and grabbed Yami's hand.

Yami looked down at Yugi, that small smile still on his face and he squeezed his hand, "I love you."

Yugi smiled, "I love you too, Yami."

They made their way to the gas station, hand in hand and when they got to the doors, Yami let go of Yugi's hand and opened the door for him.

Yugi nodded his head, "Thank you."

Yami smiled and thought to himself, 'I just love it when he's in a playful mood.'

Yugi picked out Coca Cola and asked Yami, "What would you like and we'll decide together on what we think the guys would like, okay?"

Yami nodded his head as he helped Yugi pick up the pack of Coke, "Alright."

Yami looked the selection over and picked up a pack of Mountain Dew and winked at Yugi, "My favorite,hehe."

Yugi grinned and asked, "Now, what do you think they all would like?"

Yami and Yugi both hummed together, "Hmmmm..."

They both said at the same time, "Pepsi!"

They both smiled and started to laugh as Yami picked up the Pepsi pack and walked up to the counter with Yugi right beside him.

As they left the station, Yugi was burning bright red from embarrassment and Yami was smiling from ear to ear, "Apparently, she thought that we was a cute couple."

Yugi rolled his eyes, "I just think she thought.....you was cute."

Yami laughed, "I knew that's why you acted like you was going to throw the pack of Coke at her, haha! You thought that she thought I was cute? Haha!"

Yugi mumbled, "It's not funny!"

Yugi smiled as he felt Yami's lips on his head in a little kiss and his voice masking evident laughter, "Would you actually think I would settle for second class after I've met my perfect angel? I don't think so."

Yugi looked up at Yami, "Thank you."

Yami looked ahead as they reached the house and answered, "Your welcome, my little angel."

Yami knocked on the door and was greeted by a loud shout, "They're back!!!!!"

Yami looked at Yugi over his shoulder, "We're going to have to get away for a while."

Yugi laughed, "It's too late now,haha!"

Tristan and Joey was chasing Tea around the living room with spray cans filled with cream.

Yugi was yelling at them from up on the couch, "Get her, Joey! Run Tea, run!!!"

Yami laughed as he watched it all from the floor, stretched out and trying to rest his stomach and chest, "Which side are you on, Yugi?" Yugi made a little face, "Um......no one's."

Yami glared at Seto who snorted loudly, "That's usual."

Yami snarled, "What do you expect him to be? A backstabbing liar like you?"

Seto snarled, "Is that a challenge?"

Yami glared, "Yes, it is!"

Yugi jumped down from the couch, fell down beside Yami, put his hands on Yami's shoulder and glared up at Seto back down at Yami, "You guys have got to stop fighting!"

Yami growled, "I'll never stop fighting him!"

Seto answered, "Well, it's the same here!"

Yugi was near tears as he looked down at the floor, "I don't want you to fight cause.....I.......I love you both."

Seto looked like he was about to fall in the floor as Yami's eyes widened and he whispered, "Yugi?"

Yugi mumbled, "I love you both. Not in the same way but......I love you both and I couldn't stand to watch you both hate each other till you both die. I couldn't and I won't! I love you too much! It makes me so sad and.....and....."

He couldn't see through his tears but he knew that everything had gotten quiet and everybody's attention was on him, "Just.......stop fighting.......please!"

Yugi closed his eyes tightly and he felt something warm envelop him.

Yugi opened his eyes in shock as he looked at Seto and Yami, his eyes blurry.

Both of the older boys had their arms around him, Seto was on his right side and Yami was on the left, both of them was hugging him tightly.

Yami whispered, "I'm sorry, my angel. It won't happen again."

Seto smiled at Yugi, a loving smile, "I didn't know you cared that much about me. I'm sorry that I made you upset."

Yugi didn't know what he should do, so he just hugged them both back, a big smile on his face as he said to them both, "I love you and I hope you both love me as much as I love you."

Seto and Yami both said at the same time, "We do."

They both glared at each other but they didn't say anything.

Yugi laughed, "You guys don't have to be that civil. I just don't want you both threatening to kill each other, that's all. It scares me when you do that."

Seto and Yami both nodded their heads and said at the same time, "Okay."

Yugi got up from the floor and walked up to Tea, the sound of Yami and Seto arguing in the background as he asked them, "So, what do you all wanna do now?"

Tea scratched her head and looked down at Yugi, "I'm sorry to tell you this, Yugi but we can't stay tonight and we can't have the party tomorrow."

Yugi was a little disappointed but he didn't let it show in his voice as he asked, "Why not?"

Tea grumbled, "While you was gone, my mom called and she told me not to forget that we're going to go to America and visit Six Flags Over Texas tomorrow and well.......I forgot cause I was so excited about your birthday and well, I would like it better if we stayed here and had the party instead of going to the stupid themepark anyway!"

Joey mumbled, "I'm going to go visit my folks. Terrible, huh?"

Tristan looked weird, "I'm going with Joey."

Yugi sighed as he looked down at the ground, "Oh, okay. Well, it was a nice idea."

Tea hugged Yugi as she grabbed her purse, "I'll give you your present before I leave tomorrow though and I'm sure Joey and Tristan will give you theirs too. Right guys?"

Joey and Tristan both nodded, "Uhuh."

They all filed out the door, hugging Yugi while they went out and waving good bye to Yami and Seto.

Yugi closed the doors behind them and slumped down on the couch, sighing, "This is a lousy birthday."

Yami and Seto both looked at each other and they both stood up, walked over to Yugi and sat down on opposite sides of him.

Yami smiled, "You have us."

Seto grinned, "We can give you our presents tonight. If you want em."

Yugi beamed, "Would I? I would love it if you gave me your presents!"

Seto jumped up first and walked toward the stairs, a big smile on his face, "I'll go get mine first."

Yami leaned down and was going to say something when Seto came back with a present in his hands.

Seto handed it to Yugi with a big grin on his face, "I thought you might want it. It's my pride and joy."

Yugi quickly unwrapped it and gasped, "Wow! It's that journal and......one of your Blue Eyes!!! Wow! Thank you!"

Yami glared at Seto and Yugi as Yugi embraced Seto, "I love it!"

Yugi let go of Seto and winked at him, "I knew that what you wrote in there was about me."

Seto looked nervous as Yami leaned forward and growled, "You wrote something about him?"

Seto quickly asked, "Um, where's your present, Yami?"

Yami looked down at the ground, "I don't have anything."

Yugi was about to say something when Yami got up from the couch and quickly walked up the stairs, a grim look on his face.

Yugi glanced at Seto, who winked at him, "Go reel him back in."

Yugi laughed, jumped up from the couch and ran up the stairs after Yami.

Yami was sitting on the floor, right at the top of the stairs and his head was in his hands as Yugi quietly walked up to him.

Yugi whispered, "Yami?"

Yami seemed to groan and Yugi was starting to get worried.

He inched a little closer to Yami and asked, "Are you alright?"

Yugi squeaked as Yami reached up, grabbed him and pulled him down onto the floor with him, his eyes sparkling with laughter, "I got ya!" Yugi laughed as he grabbed Yami around the neck, "Yeah, you do! And I hope you never let me go."

Yami smirked, "Never."

Yami smiled as he reached up and gently pulled Yugi's face closer to his, his eyes twinkling, "I wanted to tell you and I tried to but.....I do have a birthday present for you."

Yugi grinned, "What is it?"

Yami smirked, "It's me."

Yugi chuckled, "I'd like to see you in wrapping paper."

Yami kissed him on the cheek, "Oh, really?"

Yugi giggled as he kissed Yami lightly on the cheek, "Yeah, really."

Yami pulled Yugi to him and smiled, "I'm yours, no matter what happens between us, what life throws our way and no matter what storms we will have to weather. I will be there, by your side, forever and always. My sweet little angel."

Yami kissed Yugi deeply, his soul, heart and love in it.

Their kiss was interrupted by Seto, who sighed deeply and clasped his hands together in mock admiration, "Oh, how sweet love is. Ahhhhhhhh!"

Yami screamed as he chased Seto down the stairs, "I'm going to maim you, tie you to a chair and slowly torture you until you plead for my mercy!"

Seto yelled back at him from the kitchen, "Keep on dreaming, loverboy!"

Yami snapped, "Alright, you're so dead, you psycho!"

Yugi crawled over to the top of the staircase, laid his head in one of his hands and sighed as he watched Yami and Seto do their daily routine, "I guess I'd better get used to it."

Yugi knew that they were going to be together for a long time, weather lots of storms together, struggle through heartbreack and sorrow but at least they will have one another to help get them through.
