'+My Fiancé's Cousin'

[CHAPTER NINE]

Yuugi woke up and he wished he hadn't since his head started too throbbed and his body was ached all over. He groaned and looked at his alarm clock. It was 11:10 and he had a meeting with Ryou today at 12:30.

Meanwhile, Seto gave his greetings to Yami and then rushed out of the door since he was running late for a meeting. Yami rolled his eyes and stared at the big flat screen tv with boredom.

His cousin was going to be the future C.E.O of Kaiba Corps.

And…..

He's going to be Yuugi's future husband.

Yami turned up the volume of the tv. He didn't want to think about it anymore. Yami looked at the clock that was above the tv and it was past 11 and Yuugi was not out of bed yet. "Where is he? Is already this late and he isn't up yet? Maybe something happened to him or else he was kidnapped?" Without thinking, Yami rushed upstairs, "Yuugi!" He knocked on the door, "Yuugi?"

"What?" Yuugi sounded irritated. Yami let out a sigh of relief that he was still okay. Yuugi opened the door a few moments later looking a bit pale.

"What do you want?" He asked grumpily.

Yami frowned and pressed his hand to the boy's forehead, "Are you okay?" Yami noticed that Yuugi's forehead were warm, "Hmm….you're warm…"

Yuugi waved it off, "Probably just a little cold." He walked over to his closet and began to dig through it.

Yami raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing?"

"Looking for clothes."

"Uhh, for what?"

Yuugi gave Yami a look, "I need to take a shower. I'm meeting Ryou for lunch at 12:30." He answered and crossed over to the door, noticing that Yami looked concern, "Umm…Yami can you move over? You're blocking my way…"

"No, you're not leaving this house." Yami said firmly.

"Why not?!"

"You're sick!" Yami pushed Yuugi gently back, "You need rest."

Yuugi pouted, "I'm okay…it's not that I'm dying right now."

Yami cringed slightly, the thought of Yuugi in danger made him felt very uncomfortable, "If you go out, you'll get even sicker and then you will feel even worse."

"Why do you care?"

Yami paused. Yuugi noticed that Yami seems to be pondering over his thoughts before he answered, "I don't want you to pollute my environment."

Yuugi looked at him with an unbelievable face, "Please move." He said.

"I'll move…." Yami poked the boy gently on the shoulder, "Once you go to bed."

"But…"

"Go."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No-This is going nowhere!"

"You're right." Yami grabbed the boy and swung him over his shoulder.

Yuugi struggled and squirmed, "Meanie Yam! Let me down!" Yami ignored his protest and carried him over to his bed and threw him down softly, "That was not fair!"

"Life's not fair," Yami answered with a playful smirk on his face. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it up for Yuugi, "Here, don't get cold." Yuugi blushed slightly at Yami's concern tone. He didn't understand why Yami was so caring to him. "You better rest up." He ordered and headed for the door.

"Wait! Yami!" Yami stopped and looked at Yuugi over his shoulder. "Thanks."

"Eh? For what?" He asked, turning around all the way.

Yuugi grinned, "Everything."

A hint of red touched Yami's cheek, "No problem." He rubbed his neck shyly.

Yuugi shook his head, "No, seriously. You're like the best friend I've never had."

Yami smiled and walked out the room, shutting the door behind him. Yuugi pulled the blanket closer to him, a smile still placed on his face since he knew that Yami would always be here for him. When he first came here, they were nothing but strangers living in the same house. But over these past few months, Yami had grown on him.

The next morning, Yuugi felt so much better. Yami had made him food last night too which Yuugi thought was really sweet of him. Yuugi giddily ran downstairs with a smile on his face knowing that Yami should be sitting at the table and eating his breakfast while watching tv. But he was surprised to see it was Seto, not Yami. "Hey Seto." He greeted, "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"I'm not expected there until 4:00," Seto replied looking at his watch, "That means we have a couple of hours to chill together."

Yuugi smiled, finally he gets to spend some time with Seto since the man was always working and Yuugi barely see him except for occasional dinners. "Where's Yami?" He asked Seto. Yuugi couldn't help but wonder where Yami was.

"Oh, I think he's at the hospital." Seto answered.

Yuugi's eyes widen, "What? Why?"

"His sister is pregnant or something." Seto shrugged and Yuugi sighed in relief and leaned against the kitchen counter, "Well, he won't be back until later, so what do you want to do for the next few hours?"

"Well….I wanted to paint my room…." Yuugi couldn't help but smile remembering how Yami had hid his keys from him last time.

Seto nodded his head, "Let's go to the paint shop and I can get someone to paint it for you." He grabbed Yuugi's arm and pulled him towards the door.

"Uhh…okay."

Yami gritted his teeth, his right eye was twitching. He had skipped breakfast and he didn't get to say goodbye to Yuugi. Today was the worst day ever.

Mai, his older sister was singing so badly to her bad taste of music. She was currently 8 months pregnant and Yami wished he hadn't picked up her call now. He haven't seen her for four months and stopped visiting her because well, pregnant women are very moody. Last time, she threw him out of her house because he got her the wrong brand of juice. He couldn't even struggle because she was pregnant with his niece or nephew. Who was she going to kill if her baby comes out with a dented head or something? She'll kill him.

"I'm ready to throw her out of my car." Yami thought to himself. Seriously, if he has to listen to one more of her CDS, Yami will go cliff-diving.

"Yami, you're really quiet," Mai said in this whiny voice," Why don't you like to talk to me?"

"I'm driving," He told her quietly.

Mai snorted, "So? People can multi-task. So, how are you anyway?"

"Good."

"Are you still living with…what's his name?"

"Yes." Yami turned left into the intersection, "Why is the hospital so far away?" He cried silently to himself.

"Yami, you should come to my baby shower!" Mai chirped happily, "It will be fun! There will be food, lots of games and-"

"No thanks."

"WHY NOT?" She smacked his arm.

Yami mentally winced. Yup, there goes another bruise. "Don't won't to"

"Atemu and Mana are going."

"Good for them."

"You're no fun Yami…." Mai pouted and turned up her music and Yami wished someone could save him now.

Yami always thought that older sisters were supposed to love and care for their little brothers, right? They aren't supposed to force them to pull over and order a pack of donuts and then start beating them when the little brother got the wrong type.

Yami personally like plain sugar donuts but no Mai wanted jelly filled. So he ended up buying another pack of jelly filled donuts which made them late for her appointment. Yami kept silent as she scolded at him. He knew if he spoke, it'll just provoke her.

"Aww….isn't it so cute?" Mai cooed at ultrasound picture of her son. Yami looked at it as well and smiled which didn't go unnoticed by Mai, "Oh my gosh! You smiled!" Yami immediately wiped the smile off his face, "Hmm….you seemed different Yami," Mai tapped her chin, "You seemed to be happier…."

Yami shrugged at her statement.

"Why don't you keep the picture of the baby?" Mai suggested, "I'll have another made."

"Thanks." Yami said looking at his cute nephew once more.

"Now, take me home!" Mai ordered and Yami's sweats dropped.

Yami finally arrived at the house he shared with Seto. He carried the pack of donuts in his hands which he planned to eat it for later. After parking his car in the garage, he opened the door to the house and his heart was tore.

Seto and Yuugi were hugging right before his eyes.

"Okay, got to go now." Seto gave Yuugi a kiss on the cheek and walked towards the door, "Yami! Hey!" He patted Yami on the arm and left the house.

Yuugi shyly waved bye to Seto and looked at Yami, "Hey, Yami"

"Yuugi." Yami nodded his head and threw the donuts on the kitchen counter and walked upstairs to his room.

"Yami?" Yuugi called after him but Yami ignored the boy. He didn't want to talk to Yuugi. The picture of Yuugi and Seto kept replaying in his head. He got to his room and slammed the door after him.

"Yami?" Yuugi's gentle voice called again and he knocked on the door, "Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Go away!" Yami spat, "Go away to your Seto." He added in his mind.

Yami could hear Yuugi's pleading tone, "Yami, what did I do?"

What didn't Yuugi do?

He moved into his house.

He annoyed the shit out of Yami.

He made Yami do things he never thought of doing.

But worst of all….

"You made me fall in love with you." Yami whispered bitterly.
