Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Synthetic ❯ The black rose & painting ( Chapter 7 )

The paintbrush moved gracefully in an unknowing hand, its picture rapidly coming up on the paper almost perfectly.

Yami blinked when his picture was finished, it was strange. It was a painting of a boy Yami had never seen before, a boy with long black hair and a big grin.

The only problem with this almost perfect picture was that, the boy had blood dripping from his far too pale neck.

Yami sighed; it was another one to hide in his draw.

He glanced at the clock and stood up quickly; he moved to his locked window and focussed on it hard.

Soon, the window began unlocking itself as though an invisible force was opening it.

Yami was moving it with his mind, it was only one of his powers' he'd discovered and learnt how to control but, it was tiring to use.

Once the window was fully opened, Yami looked out for any danger.

Finding none, he quickly jumped down like he had before on those other nights he had sneaked out and headed for the park.

Seto had been sitting on a park bench for twenty minutes, he was only one there with the lake in front of him and blossoming fields behind.

He sighed unhappily, Yami was late and Seto suspected he wasn't coming tonight. Perhaps he had been stood up? Seto shook his head and thought about giving up when,

"That seat taken?" a sly voice asked, Seto turned around and almost jumped up in relief and happiness at the smirking figure he was gazing at.

"Yami!" Seto greeted, "I thought you weren't coming, what took you so long?"

Yami sat beside Seto, "Sorry, I got a little tide up." He answered

"With what?" Seto asked, frowning slightly.

"I was painting, time seemed to fly by me." Yami explained

"Painting?" Seto questioned

Yami sighed, "Yeah but, I'd rather not talk about it." He said

"Huh, why? What did you paint?" Seto continued to question

"Seto, would you stop with the questions please?" Yami replied

"Sorry," Seto said

Yami smiled, "Hey its okay," he replied

"So……." Seto began "How long since we went out like this?"

"Oh, um…….it's about a month and a half now," Yami answered

"Wow, your right, time does fly." Seto muttered

A full moon hung over the lake in front of them, adding even more romantic scenery in the park.

"Lovely night," Seto said

Yami nodded, "I like it out here, it's very peaceful." He replied

"Makes a change," Seto said "I should come here more often."

Seto glanced at Yami who was staring out into the lake, "Erm, Yami……." He trailed off nervously

Yami looked at him, "Yes?" he asked

"I erm, got you something." Seto explained, "For like, a gift."

Yami's face lit up, "Really?" he said "What?"

"It's not much but, I thought you'd like it." Seto replied, handing Yami a black rose.

Yami gasped, "Seto, it's beautiful!" he cried, grabbing Seto into a kiss and then pulling back blushing, "I've sure missed you."

Seto smiled, "Yeah, me too." He said, drawing closer to Yami.

The couple met into another passionate kiss, the only other witness being the moon.

Hours went passed and the reluctant couple realised it was time to leave,

"Yami, let me walk you home." Seto offered

"Sure, that would be nice." Yami replied

They walked down the path until they reached the wall which lead to Yami's room window.

"I had a lovely night Seto, thanks." Yami said

"Can I come up?" Seto asked, looking up at the window.

Yami looked shocked, "W-why?" he stuttered

"I want to see your room," Seto said, looking back at him "See what stuff you do all day."

"But, why?" Yami asked again

"Cause maybe I'll need to be able to climb up this wall again to see you," Seto said

"What!? You can't do that Seto, you might get caught!" Yami pleaded

Seto shook his head, "I don't care, I want to see you. Is that a crime?" he asked

"Yes Seto, it is." Yami replied sadly,

"Then I shall be guilty, unless you don't want to see me?" Seto said

"Of course I want to see you!" Yami cried

"Then let me up there, please Yami? I'll be really quiet." Seto asked

Yami nodded uncertainly, "Okay." He replied

The forbidden couple then climbed up to Yami's bedroom.

Seto scanned the room; "Wow Yami, it's……" he trailed off

"Plain." Yami finished

Seto walked over to the wooden desk and was about to reply when sudden shock froze him on the spot.

Yami gasped when he saw Seto looking at his painting, "Seto? A-are you o-kay?" he stuttered

"I - this picture." Seto shook his head in disbelief

"What Seto?" Yami asked in worry, pulling him away from the desk. "What?"

"It's a picture of my little brother, Mokuba."
