disclaimers: not mine
note: i skipped over the entire Joey conversation thing. I just couldnt get it to work.I know you people hate OC's but Solo is playing a role in this story. Dont let me scare you away when Solo goes on a date with Yugi. Remember, its just for the fic's plot
Chapter 6
Yugi glanced Yami from underneath his lashes. Both were at the park with their friends, enjoying the last warm days before summer gave her torch to autumn. Yami refused to participate in any of the sports, except baseball. Baseball had been invented in 2000 b.c by the Ancient Egyptians. (1) Albeit, the form was archaic, it was still something that Yami enjoyed. In those rare times that Yugi and Yami conversed, Yami often told Yugi about his past. It was interesting and sad at times.
[I do not make excuses Neither do I need solace
Only I believe]
The thought made Yugi think about Yami leaving for the past. It was so painful; as if his heart was being torn inside his chest. His soul was in even more turmoil. He figured if his soul could manifest itself it would be a weeping sunflower. (2) A sunflower in a field of rustic locomotives, the only plant. It was thriving in a pile of sawdust though the black face was missing many teeth, the petals were ripped and wilting. The flower was covered in grime, barely alive and yet it was surviving. The sunflower was prevailing against the most tumultous odds; in a world that was cruel and domineering.
[A heart bound to false liberties
Cannot grasp the truth]
Yugi sighed. That sunflower, no matter how much it was threatened, lived on to face a new day until its life force returned to the spirit world. Yugi saw himself as that. He was going to survive, with or without his yami. It would be easier to live, should his Yami decide it was worth staying. It would be a rough journey, but he would convince him somehow. Figuring out Yami's secret desire would be the first thing on his list.
[I want to defend with these blood-imbued hands
A life like mine is a fading falling star]
A voice interrupted Yugi from his musings. He snapped from staring at Yami to meet the twinkling blue eyes of Solo. The boy smiled cheerfully at him. "Hi Yugi!" Yugi was surprised to feel the glare on the back of his head.
[Staring at the distant sky with sad eyes
Forever searching]
"Hiya Solo!" Yugi chirped, a little glad that Solo had discovered him. Yugi peered at his friends, the boys and one girl stopping to look at each other. He patted the patch of clover beside him, inviting Solo to join him. "What are you doing here this early?"
[I turn into a bird
That flies with wounded wings above a too-wide world]
Solo looked at his watch, shrugging carefreely with a grin on his lips. "Its only 10:00. Are you and Yami having a fight or something?"
[My present self I do not need sympathy
In the midst of war I am a flaming falling star
LONELY... ]
"Uh...you see, we're not boyfriends." Solo's smile grew wider. Yugi returned it almost as jovially. "He just gets...protective of me. Its not everyday someone propositions me." Yugi threw a wink at the flushed brunette.
[Present and future
Are engulfed in the flames of battle and everything is a dream
So our lives and the waning smiles
Will surely make a new world]
"Rini told, huh?"
"She did. I dont mind. I'm not used to it though. Especially from a cute guy like you."
"Tease," Solo glared playfully. He leaned on his elbows, watching Yugi from the corners of his eyes. "I'm shocked that you don't get peoples phone numbers all the time. You're beautiful."
[You who hide your heart till the end
Stare at the truth ]
Yami, underneath his tree, kept his snarl to a minimum. Okay, he was about to growl and snarl at any moment. How dare that...that SLUT talk to HIS Yugi! Yami glowwered evilly at Solo, just itching to grab his Sennen Puzzle and thrash the stupid boy.
[Be the legendary bird
That flies free till any place in the blue skies]
"Thanks."
"...I know this is sudden but would you like to get some brunch?"
[To the hope born from sorrow
a fading falling star
LONELY... ]
"Yeah, sure! I could go for some french toast." Yugi took the hand, being assisted to his feet by the taller boy. He turned towards Yami, dreading the mean stare that he was sure he would see. "Um...Solo's taking me to brunch so...yeah. I'll be back later. Tell the others!" Yugi whirled on his heel and took off at fast pace with Solo at his side.
[Friendship and memories
Drift with the fate of battle and everything is a dream
The courage to brave the storms
Is surely the light to make a new era]
Yami shook his head, unable to believe what had just happened. A hand on his shoulder caused him to snap his head around angrily. "WHAT?!" he bellowed.
Yami Bakura wasn't the last bit phased. He merely brushed aside the long locks of white hair, wiping a few droplets of saliva that Yami had accidently spit on him. "Your such a fucking fool Pharoah."
"...Why do you say that?"
"I know your going back home because of Yugi." Yami Bakura's tone went soft. "I know that you love him. I think your being a bastard. I swear to Ra, you son of a bitch, that if you in fact, DO leave. I'll haunt your ass forever."
"Your point, Bakura?"
"My point is, you little shit," Bakura grabbed Yami's collar, throwing him against the tree trunk, "That Yugi's hurting and its causing my Aibou stress. That in turn, is making my love life very uncomfortable. Pharoah, I give you until tomorrow to decide if you love him or not and have the balls to tell him. If you decide to go through with this, I'll kill you before you have the chance to summon the ki. Is that clear, you selfish ass?"
"Crystal," Yami gritted through clenched teeth. Bakura smirked, going to rejoin his boyfriends. Yami rubbed his neck where Bakura's fingers at dug in. He had some serious soul searching to do and he would be damned if he let Bakura get the last laugh. With thoughts focused on what exactly Solo and Yugi were doing, Yami disappeared to his soul room to decide his fate
[Present and future
Are engulfed in the flames of battle and everything is a dream
So our lives and the waning smiles
Will surely make a new world]

Thanks SOOOOO much for reviewing! Review again!
1. This is true. ^.^
2. this is the jist of a poem written in the 1950's. I forgot the author. The locomotive graveyard in the poem represents how bad the world is but the sunflower symbolizes the goodness of the world. Basically, the jist of the poem is ; true beauty lies within and that everyone has some good in them.
3. The song is called Love is a Falling Star. I dont remember the artist
