Chapter 6 - sleepy...

It was now 11:30pm. The twins were in the dark. Yugi was watching ice hockey on the TV.
Are you really naked? Yugi asked.
What? Atem croaked, opening his eyes. No, Im wearing my boxers,
Yemi said you sleep naked,
I did when I had my own room,
EW!

Yugi felt all over the bed and glanced around. He froze and frowned.
Pharaoh, pass me the crisps,
Atem sighed and reached under his pillow. He dropped a bag of crisps down to Yugi.
And the chocolate, Yugi grunted.
Atem groaned and tossed a chocolate bar down.

Atems arm still dangled over the edge of the top bunk and Yugi could see his hand.
Atem was half asleep.
Yugi tugged on his hand.
Hhn . . . what? he muttered, opening his eyes again.

Yugi turned the TV off and the room fell completely dark. Sshh!
Yemi came up the stairs. There was a scream and a clatter.
I HATE TEENAGERS!! she exclaimed.
Atem and Yugi snorted and burst out laughing.

Yugi laughed more than Atem.
There may have been only a year between them, but age wasnt the only difference.
Yugi was still a kid at heart, and though he was sixteen, his voice hadnt deepened yet. Atem was the mature one of the two, and if he said something, he meant it . . . well, most of the time.
He was more of a father than a brother to Yugi, because Yemi wasnt even related to him.

All right, Yugi, its getting late. We should get some rest- Atem began.
Why should I listen to a vampire? Yugi protested.
Because, if you dont sleep, youre going to be in a bad mood,
Im staying up!
Fine, Atem grunted. See if I care when you get grounded,
Fine, Yugi grinned.
Fine,
FINE!
FINE!!! All right, thats it! End of story! Finished! Good night! Atem finished.

The room fell silent. Atem lay down, rolled over, pulled the covers up and sighed. He closed his eyes again. He almost instantly began to snore quietly.
Yugi finished eating.
Hey, Pharaoh, did you hear about the dog that went to the moon? he giggled.
Pharaoh?
Realizing that his brother was really asleep, and that it was genuine snoring that he heard, Yugi yawned and tucked himself into bed.
