The Singer Who Grew

Chapter 73, Always...

*Yami's POV*

I was fiddling with my ring on my finger, my palms were sweaty. I haven't been able to speak a word to him ever since we sat down. "Yami come on, you can trust me with anything. If you don't wanna talk right now I-I'll understand," he said and I shook my head. If I have told the others I need to tell him, he has to know everything that I have hidden about myself.

He never hid stuff from me, not even when it was family stuff. "Yugi...I have never spoken about my past have I? Not even my school days," I said and grabbed his right hand, the sound of our rings clinked together. He hummed and rubbed my ring. "Well I need to tell you something. The others know and you need to know as well."

"Is it something bad?" he asked and I nodded. His face didn't change.

I'm scared. I'm terrified he is gonna leave me if he knows the truth, but there's no way I can lie to him..."Yugi, I promise I had a reason for what I did and I have never done anything like that ever again," I said and took a break to prepare myself for this.

"I trust you Yami."

"Ok...so I have never spoke about my parents have I?" I asked and he shook his head. "Well. I never knew them, Atem was the one who raised me. My parents gave me up to him and I have been with him my whole life. When I got into highschool things started to change with me, my attitude was getting out of hand."

"I also drank a lot, it was my way of trying to deal with stress from school and life. Atem put up with it and he also drank, we were a mess. But one night when I lost my temper I went out drinking and Atem followed, we were at our normal bar and a group of kids walked in. Two girls and three guys. But the girls went missing so I went out looking for them. I found them, being attacked by adult men."

"I shouted at them and they left the girls alone. But they recognised me from a kid and m-mentioned my parents. Yugi...I-I lost it. I went at them and was punching the guy, my mind was blank. Once the girl pulled me off that's when I saw...I killed the guy."

Tears were now coming down me from telling this story once again, but it felt like a weight was now off my shoulders. Yugi used his free hand to wipe the tears from my face. "I-I was only trying to protect the girls I swear... p-please believe me..." I cried and held my head down. I couldn't see his face, he hates me now doesn't he? Why would he want to stay...with a murderer?

"I understand Yami," he said and brought my face up. He had a small smile on him and was wiping away all my tears. "I know you wouldn't do anything like that on purpose. You saved those girls, not everyone has a good past. Heck look at mine, I have only stopped seeing the bruises on me."

I was now fully bawling, how on earth do I deserve this angel? "Y-Y-Yugi...you. You'll still stay with me? E-Even though you know what I've done?" I asked and he laughed a little.

"I'll always stay with you, we wouldn't be humans without our faults. Yami I love you, you're a plant pot for thinking I'll leave you. All the time I thought you would leave me because of my past. So why would I ever leave you for what you've told me?" he said and I couldn't keep myself, throwing myself on him and crying on his chest. He stroked my hair and tried to calm me down but I couldn't stop it, my chest hurt too much from the story and him. 

How does he still love me?

*Heba's POV*

"Come on!! You haven't spoken a word!" Atem moaned and grabbed my shirt. I was still ticked off with him, not from the story before but the fact he hid it from me. Granted it was a touchy subject but I have told him every single detail of my life and he keeps that? So now he is getting the silent treatment. "Come on!!! Let's go take a bath together!!"

"Just go by yourself, I don't want one right now," I said and folded my arms. Atem just sighed and flopped on the couch placing his head on my lap. The others had left to their rooms and I refused to leave without having a word with Yugi. He may be the older but I need to know what he thinks of all this. "Atem just go."

"No, I won't go unless you come. I'll take you in fully dressed if I have to, know what I'll do just that," he said and got up. Without letting me speak he picks me up bridal style and took me to his bathroom. The bath was already full and he checked my pockets, nothing was in it so he tossed me in. The water splashed everywhere and I was fully soaked, Atem was laughing his head off. 

He took off his top and for some reason left his pants on and jumped in at the bottom. "Ah this is nice no?" he asked and I looked away still ticked. He grabbed some shampoo and placed it on his hands. "Come here, I'll do your hair."

"Atem..." I groaned and he wouldn't give up reaching forward and running his hand through my hair. I gave up, letting him wash my hair and once he was done he rinsed it out. I didn't want my top sticking to me too much so I took it off and Atem just winked at me. 

"Come on baby why won't you speak? Did I do something wrong?" he asked and now I was slightly starting to feel bad. 

"You hid something from me..." I mumbled and covered myself in the water. "I'm hurt because you didn't tell me of your past..."

"Oh baby I'm so sorry. I just never really thought about it until Dartz showed up. For some reason he knows about it. If it gets out that we 'committed murder' then we would have to split. I couldn't allow that sort of backlash to appear to the others. Please don't be mad with me," he said and looked at me with puppy eyes. I really hate him...

"Fine, now shut up and kiss me," I said and he laughed coming closer. The water built up between us and when he closed the gap, a lot more water escaped the tub. I laughed when his lips finally connected with me and his lips started to move automatically. All my anger left my mind, and all I could think of was the love for the man in front of me. 

Poor Yami, seems like now he is the one struggling with everything huh? Also Heba being a good little brother looking after his older. So, everyone now knows of what Yami and Atem did and can now focus on their next hurdle. Dartz.
