Let me be with you
Chapter seventeen By Pixiedust291 .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. Yami stared blankly out his bedside window at the night sky. Moonlight shone through the glass, and illuminated his bored expression. It had been three weeks since their uncovering of Industrial Illusions. The police had investigated the corporation, and the trial date that had been issued was the talk of all of Japan. All of Industrial Illusions’s lesser employees got off scot-free, but members like Marik had received a much harsher sentence. Luckily for him, because he had assisted the police in the investigation, he also received lesser jail time, and the hope of parole. For Industrial Illusions, it was all over. Their sales plummeted to nothing, other companies refused to have anything to do with them, and the government had initiated their immediate closure. On the upside, Mokuba’s brother’s company was booming in sales. With Industrial Illusions’s gone, people seemed to be begging for mini-portable persocoms. Ryou was currently bunking with Jonouchi. After being checked out by Yusai, the man had o go through some serious medical procedures in order to extract the mechanical viruses that were taking over his body. Despite that, he survived, and made a miraculous recovery. Apparently, from what Yusai explained, the virus and the mechanical compounds were not able to fully link with his DNA, due to the fact that Ryou was British. That made no sense to Yami, but what did he know. Yugi, on the other hand, was an entirely different matter. From what Yami could comprehend, the compounds had entered his bloodstream and bone tissue. His cells were dying at an increasing rate, and his organs could simply not fight the mechanical infection that was spreading throughout his body. In layman’s terms, he cells were degenerating and his DNA was unraveling. Soon, his human memory would probably be lost, and Yami couldn’t do a thing about it. Ever since Yusai had told him this, Yami had been consumed by an ever-increasing depression. He wanted to scream, to attack the Industrial Illusions suits who had done this to Yugi. He wanted to help Yugi, to save him. But there was no way Yami could fight an infection that had been growing for who knew how long. In the first few days after Yugi’s diagnosis, Yami had done nothing but stay by Yugi’ unconscious side. But even then, Yusai had coaxed Yami into continuing his life, under the promise that Yugi was in his capable hands, and he would do all in his power to help him. Slowly, Yami began to seek solace inside himself. He attended his classes, but truly did not enjoy them. Every once in a while, Jonouchi and Ryou came over to keep him company, but even their friendly intrusions into his dull world were short-lived. Ryou was the one who came over to Yami’s apartment at least once a day. The two had actually become rather good friends. The man was kind, and talked animatedly about his childhood with Yugi, which seemed to comfort Yami. He enjoyed hearing the stories of his and Yugi’s adventures. It was almost like Ryou was a whole different person from the man he had first met at Industrial Illusions. Ryou had seemed so withdrawn and shy, and yet, now he was rather funny and articulate. But, for all of Ryou’s sweetness, or Jonouchi random antics, they could never truly take all the loneliness out of Yami’s day. It was like the time he had forgotten Yugi all over again. The same painful body, the dazzling, sinful dreams, and the feeling of utter emptiness in his own home. He was completely forlorn. He saw Yugi everywhere—in the kitchen, on the couch, even in his bed. Everything reminded him of the person whom he had a very good chance of losing forever. In the last few days he had even turned to drinking at night to help him even get at least an hour of sleep. Yami sighed, and looked out the window. It was the beginning of spring, and he could just barely make out the small green buds that adorned the tree in front of the apartment building. He wondered how long it would be before those same buds would burst forth into beautiful pink blossoms. Yami closed his eyes, and came away from the window, lowering the shade so that it just barely let in enough light to see by. He pulled back the covers, and lay down on top of the sheet. The fabric against his bare upper body was warm, and very uncomfortable. He groaned, and tossed back the covers. He might as well put the air-conditioning on; otherwise, he would never be able to get to sleep. He exited his room, and went to the living room. His fingers traced along the wall for the thermostat. Upon finding it, they pushed a series of buttons, and the air flipped on. He closed the thermostat, and was about to walk back into his room, when there was a knock on the front door. He eyed the door suspiciously. He had locked it, so there was no possible way for the person on the other side to get in. The knob started jiggling, then came Atem’s voice “Open up it’s me!” he sounded out of breath and thoroughly irritated. Yami rushed to the door and opened it “What’s wrong?” The expression of Atem’s face told him it wasn’t anything good. “You need to come right now. I have the car waiting in the lot.” Yami nodded, shut his door, and then followed Atem as they walked briskly out of the building. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. “Are you ready?” Yusai asked, as he filled the syringe with pink liquid. Yugi nodded his face tearstained and emotionless. Yusai’s expression was grim. “I’m sure Yami will be here any moment.” Yugi smirked at that. “Yeah, I know. But I didn’t want to argue with him about my decision, nor did I really want him to see me like this.” Yugi motioned to his slightly gray-tinged legs. “But I can not just leave him without saying good buy either.” Yusai nodded. “I can understand that. Are you sure you want this?” “I’d rather die with Yami still in my heart and mind then when I can not even remember his face.” Yugi replied. “I understand.” He looked as his computer screen and asked “Do you love him? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with him?” Yugi coughed. “What is this all of the sudden.” He laughed briefly before nodded honestly “Yes. I love him. I wish more then anything I could live my life with him.” He looked up at Yusai, his eyes truly looking like dark shimmering amethysts. He looked utterly lonely, like some kind of fallen angel. “Thank you for everything, Yusai.” Yusai raised a brow, then pulled the syringe out of the bottle. “You’re welcome. You made this decision by yourself, correct?” Yugi nodded. Yusai then took a hold of Yugi’ arm. “Then, you won’t mind if I make a decision on my own as well,” he whispered. “What?” Yugi asked, not catching what Yusai had said. The door to the lab flew open and slammed against the wall. Yami stood in the doorway panting, sweat dripping from his brow. Atem was behind him, equally out of breath as he leaned against the doorframe “Those stairs are a birtch.” Atem gasped. “Yami!” Yugi smiled as tears came to his eyes. He outstretched his hands as his love stomped forward. “Atem tells me you’ve decided to die. Where the hell do you get off making a decision like that?!” Yami yelled. Yugi’s face was a complete mask of surprise. “I- I-” But surprise soon turned to hurt. “Yami I can not even walk anymore.” Yugi turned away “Yusai has been trying to do everything he can but… its just to much. It’s like a cancer inside my entire body.” He took a steadying breath “I only have two options. Die now while I’m still me, or in a few days after become some kind of vegetable.” He looked back you Yami “I have the right to decide what to do with my own life.” Yami interrupted gulped as his eyes filled with tears “You think I don’t already know that. I respect your decision, and I understand why you’re making it, but that doesn’t meant I’m not allowed to be pissed as hell.” Tears were running down Yami’s cheeks. He wiped them away with his sleeve fiercely. “I hoped that you were going to get better. That you were going to be back to your usual self when we saw each other again. I didn’t…. not like this.” He shook his head “Never like this.” Yugi gazed at him, his eyes clouded by pain. “I’m sorry. For everything. I thought about saving you the agony of seeing me die this way. I though about not telling you at all.” Yugi sheek his head “But that just seemed selfish. And besides,” he grabed Yami’s hand “I’m scared. And I need you with me. You were they when I woke up into this life, and I want you hear when I… go back to sleep.” Yami sniffed even as he did nod. He looked down at Yugi’ legs, and touched the cold as steel skin. Agony evident in his eyes. He looked back to Yugi wish a smile. “You’re just as beautiful as always.” He climbed onto the small hospital bed next to Yugi, and took his hand. He looked to Yusai, and nodded. The man took Yugi’s arm and injected the liquid. He then turned and walked out of the room, Atem following after him. Yami knew it was not because they didn’t care. It was because they were giving Yugi and Yami some privacy.He turned to Yugi, and wrapped his arm around his shoulder, leaning their heads together. “Yugi.” “Yes?” “I love you.” He nuzzled the top of the boy’s head “I really do.” Yugi was silent before he sniffled and started crying “I love you too.” He hiccupped. “Yami?” “Yes?” “Sing me a song.” “You want a song now?” Yami falsely laughed. “Yes.” Yugi leaned back against him “I love your voice. Please.” Yami chuckled. He wiped away the fresh tears rolling down his cheeks, he sang as best he could.
