Chapter Seven
� Moving Out
Yami�s POV

�I �m afraid I
won�t be able to help you with the store any longer�� I say quietly at breakfast.
Only yesterday� only yesterday I talked to Seto. So much has changed� I thought
long and hard about how to tell Yugi and Solomon that I want to move in with
him� and I still haven�t come up with a good way, even though I seem to have
already started to do so.

�Oh?� the old
man asks, looking down at me as I sit at the table. �Why
not?� Yugi�s big amethyst eyes look at me innocently as he munches on
cereal, wondering as much as his grandfather.

�I� I don�t quite
know how to say this, but I�d like to move out��

Yugi�s eyes grow
to the size of dinner plates. �You want to leave, yami? Go out and live on your
own?�

Aibou� my poor,
sweet, innocent, adorable little Yugi� the friend I owe for breaking the cycle.
How will he take this, not having me around? I didn�t think about it yesterday,
just agreed without a second thought� but can I abandon my little hikari like
this?

�Not quite,
aibou�� I don�t look at them, munching my toast. I don�t want to look at them right
now.

��Not quite�?� Solomon asks, stopping his task at the sink
in favor of looking at me. �So you�ve found� what? Someone you want to live
with?�

Then Yugi squeals, and I look up at him, in surprise. That noise came
from my little aibou? �Yami has a girlfriend!� he exclaims, looking at me with
those unbearably cute eyes. �Who is it?� He leans closer for this juicy bit of
gossip.

�More
importantly,� his grandfather says, turning back to the sink, �how did he keep
her hidden?�

�Not quite,� I
say again, then peer into my aibou�s eyes. �You don�t
mind?�

He shakes his
head vigorously. �Not at all, Yami. I just want you to
be happy� Just so long as you�re sure she�s not just some mooching fangirl who just wants you for your fame�� He frowned, and
I have to smile at that.

�Somehow, I
doubt that, little one��

He brightens
again. �So who is she?�

�It�s� You guys
don�t mind if I leave?� I look worriedly between them. I had thought they would
be a lot more� distraught� at the news.

Solomon shakes
his head. �Of course not. If you want to go live with
a girl you love, we won�t stand in your way.�

Yugi stands,
tired of his question not being answered, leaning over the table and looking
square in my face. �Who is she?�

I have really no
choice but to answer. �Seto�� I say with a sigh, almost of defeat, looking
away.

Yugi literally
falls back into the chair, almost missing and hitting the floor. Even Solomon
stops suddenly and looks at me.

�Kaiba?�

�You want to go
move in with Seto Kaiba, yami?�

I just nod. This
is the reaction I was afraid of� They�re disgusted. This was why I didn�t tell them who it was. Belatedly,
I wonder if Seto wanted to keep it a secret from anyone� �Just forget about it,�
I tell them, standing up to leave the room, trying to give them time to get
used to that. �If you aren�t still comfortable with my moving out, I�ll stay. I�ll
just explain it to him�� I want so much to go to him, though. I don�t know if I
can stay here� even if they want me to.

Yugi grabs onto
my arm as I pass him, making me look down at him in mild surprise. He seems to
be doing very unexpected things today� �Yami, where�re
you going? I don�t care if you�re with Kaiba. I mean, I�m sure he�s a good guy
in there somewhere, if you can just get to him� But, anyway, why wouldn�t we
want you to go?�

I look at both
of them again. I� suppose I misjudged them.

�I can�t say I
like the boy,� Solomon adds, still tending to his dishes, �but I won�t stand in
your way, if you care for him.�

��Thank you,� I
say to them both. �This means a lot to me��

My blessed aibou
gives me his huge smile and gives me a hug, which I return after a few seconds.
�I mean it, Yami. I�m happy for you. Maybe you�ll be good for him�� He smiles
up at me, but I can see tears in his eyes. He�s so very sweet and sensitive�

�Will you be
okay without me here�?� I ask, suddenly concerned. I put my hand on his face,
searching his eyes. If he needs me� then� I don�t know. I guess I�ll have to choose between Seto and
Yugi� I don�t know if I can. I pray that I don�t have to.

But then he
wipes his eyes with his sleeve. �Yeah, I�ll be fine,� he says brightly. �You
don�t need to stay for me. I�ll miss you, but I�ll be okay.�

I smile and hug
him for a moment, thinking that he�s much braver and more grown up than he
looks. And I don�t have to choose between them� Thank you, Ra, or whoever is
controlling my destiny� I love them both, though in very separate ways. Yugi is
like my little brother, or a son, someone to protect and care for and make sure
that that world treats him fairly� I love Seto so much differently. I want to
protect him, care for him, make sure the world treats
him fairly as well� but it�s so much deeper. There�s so much more to it�

�Now,� Solomon
says, as Yugi exits the room, still slightly crying, but cheerfully. �The real
question is, how did you manage to keep him a secret?�

I smile at him
and don�t really answer. Do I really need to tell him that Seto and I were
nothing more than bitter rival with strange dreams until yesterday? No, I don�t
think so. They would never approve, because they could never understand. They
wouldn�t be able to understand how we�ve loved each other for millennia� how we�ve
always been destined to lose each other, every time, until this one came along�

How much I
really, really need to see Seto right now�
