immune to caffeine by now, and I really don't know how to stay awake for the next few days.
My boss gave me two weeks of paid vacation because I was feeling irritated too quickly lately and saying that I should get enough sleep again.
But how am I supposed to do that when I'm so damn worried about you and have to look after Grandfather at night too?
Exactly - I have no clue.

"Excuse me, Mr. Muto, but shouldn't I take care of your grandfather a little longer? You look really miserable and you are almost asleep now."I look at her gratefully.
"There is only one problem, you would have to take care of Yugi a little bit. Put him something to eat in the morning, at noon and in the evening, nothing else. Do you think you could do that for a few days?" I ask the nice twenty-five year old and look at her searchingly.
She nods resolutely.
"I've seen how you always do that. Don't worry, I won't scare him. I'll take care of both of them until you're awake again.", She promises me and I don't even know how to deal with it thank her.
"Thanks alot."
She smiles.
"Don't worry, I like to do it."
With one last thankful look, I retire to my room, turn off the alarm clock and finally go to sleep.
I think I fell asleep before I was even really lying on the pillow.
...
...
But suddenly I am torn from this soothing sleep when I hear you scream.Suddenly I sit in bed and hurry to get up.
I don't know how long I slept, whether just a few seconds or maybe several days.
I'm too rush to be with you to have a great time thinking about it.

You're still screaming like a stick, even when I come into the room to check on you.
"What happened?" I ask the foster sister, who somehow tries to calm you down over your screams.
"I thought he had passed out again and wanted to wash his upper body because he had a fever last night and was totally sweaty, but when I opened his top and was about to take it off, he suddenly opened his eyes and started screaming like that. ", she explains to me in dismay.
"Please look after grandfather, I'll take care of him." I instruct the troubled young woman.
She nods, leaves the room, closes the door behind her and leaves me alone with you.Now, for the first time since I entered your room, I'm looking at you properly.
You are sitting in the far corner of your bed, your eyes and your mouth wide open and while your mouth is still only loud screams, the tears are pouring out of your big eyes and down your face.
In these, your soul mirrors, one sees tremendous fear and panic flaring up and at the same time a certain dullness.
Your pajama top is unbuttoned and pushed over your shoulders so that only your arms are hanging in your sleeves; and still you scream
Slowly, so as not to scare you even more, I walk up to you and crawl across the bed to you.
Your screams get louder and you push yourself further into the corner, but this time I ignore it.
Slowly and carefully I pull your top back onto your shoulders and slowly button it up again. Neither your screaming nor the tears have stopped, but I just block out the sound now; it just bothers me at the moment.I reach behind me, take a blanket and carefully wrap you in it so that only your head is visible, then I gently hug you and stroke your back soothingly.
"Shush, Yugi ... everything is fine ... shh ... nobody's doing anything to you ... take it easy ...", I mumble into your ear in a comforting and gentle tone and rock us lightly together and back.
Your screaming will be quieter until it finally stops completely. But now you claw at me through the ceiling and let out a heartbreaking sob.
"Shh ... take it easy ... I'm here ..." I mumble again and continue to stroke your back.
It takes a long time to calm down, but eventually the sobs die down and you hide your face on my shoulder.
"Don't go away ..." I hear you breathing very, very softly.
"I'm here ..." I say gently and hug me a little tighter. "I'm there."

Quietly and carefully there is a knock on the door and you winced violently."Don't worry ..." I whisper to you lovingly. "Come in?" I call in the direction of the door.
Said opens a little and the nurse peeps in concerned.
"Is everything all right again?" She asks nervously.
I smile.
"Yes. It's okay ... Can you take care of Grandfather for a while longer?" I ask. She nods.
"Thanks."
She closes the door and I look at you again.
"Would you like to sleep a little?" I ask you in a low, gentle voice. You look up to me big
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you here." I promise you.
"You are also very tired.", You whisper. Your words are almost just a breath of air.
"I'll take care while you sleep." I tell you quietly.
You shake your head gently.
"You are also very tired.", You mumble again. "Let's both sleep."
I blink at you in confusion for a moment, but then I smile.
"If you want..."
You nod very slightly, then we both cuddle up together under another of your many blankets and it only takes a few moments until I hear you breathing evenly and calmly, then I fell asleep too.* ~ * ~ ° ~ * ~ *

The next morning the young foster sister carefully opened the door to Yugi's room to check on them.
What she saw made her smile in relief:
Yami and Yugi lay snuggled close together in bed and slept peacefully.
The young woman watched them for a moment, then quietly closed the door and went back to Grandfather.

She would take care of him until they both woke up ...

So...
That's it.
As always, I would be happy to receive constructive criticism (commissioners).
The idea was again very spontaneous, even if it was written in several stages, as I've been looking after my secret, private vampire stories lately and I've been so in the mood for it ... * shame *
There is something that is not concerned with pairing itself, but with "other things" ... (I hope you know what is meant) yusakuSu said "When the time comes ...", I could do something like that more often * murmur * So, fine, yu ??* nice look and shy smile * If you like it, then it is dedicated to you ^. ~
Well, well, you read ...
