Only two reviews, at least it's better than nothing. I feel as though I failed on something here.

Ch.18: Flower Shop
Next morning, Atemu woke up with the sun's rays in his eyes. Yugi rested his head on his chest, which he didn't mind at all.
-Atemu's POV-
I looked at Yugi and smiled. I carefully and gently moved him from my chest to his side of the bed and slowly walked towards the closet and put on the clothes I had on yesterday. I looked over to see Yugi, who is still asleep.
`He's cute when he's asleep. Wait a minute! Did just think that!' I thought as I looked over again and decided that it was a comment, since it was true. (A/N: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!! … He's not listening -_-) I looked through the closet and picked out a few clothes for Yugi.
“BRRIINNGGG!!” the alarm clock went off with it's annoying sound. I quickly went over and shut the thing off, getting the temptation to destroy the thing to bits.
“Morning Atemu.” Yugi said as he stretched out on the bed, which made my face feel warm.
“Morning Yugi, sleep well.” I said, remembering that he put his head on my chest around midnight.
“Yep.” He responded. “Why are you holding my clothes?” He pointed out.
At this moment, I felt kind of embarrassed, but I shrugged it off and handed the clothes to him. “I thought I might save you some time, if I picked out your clothes.” I said, only half of it was true, though I'm not sure what the other half is. But he took the clothes.
“Thanks, but you don't have to.” He said, probably a bit uncomfortable with the situation, I couldn't blame him.
He got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, while I walked around until I got to the living room, and started to read where I left off, to pass the time. A few minutes later, Yugi came out, wearing tight black jeans and a red, sleeveless top. I looked over and couldn't help but stare.
“Are you alright?” He asked.
“Uh, yes. Yes I'm fine.” I said, a bit confused about my actions, but tried to sound convincing, which worked.
“Well, okay. If you say so.” He said, sounding concerned.
Then we heard the door closed downstairs, then came a voice.
“Yugi! I'm home!”
-Normal POV-
“Yugi! I'm home!” Grandpa announced as he set his bags down. Then he heard a pair of feet coming quickly down the stairs, which turns out to be Yugi, who hugged his dear grandfather.
“Hi Grandpa!” Yugi said, a bit overjoyed. “How was the trip?”
“Don't ask.” He said as he took a seat.
“Didn't go so well, huh?” The small teen said as his grandfather looked annoyed.
Then another pair of footsteps coming down the stairs.
“Hey Atemu.” Yugi said happily. “Come on down.” He mentioned the other down to where he and his grandfather stood.
“Siamun?” Atemu said as Grandpa's mouth hanged open.
“Who's Siamun?” Yugi asked as he looked back and forth at Atemu and his grandpa.
“Siamun was known to be my advisor when I was Pharaoh.” Atemu explained. “Your grandfather reminds me of him exactly.”
“So, you're the Pharaoh that Yugi talks so much about.” Grandpa said with a smile.
“Yes, but please, call me Atemu.” He said to the elder as he looked over to the other, who was lost in the conversation.
The shop's bell chimed out, and at the door were Ryou and Bakura.
“Hello Ryou, who's your friend?” Grandpa asked as he looked at Bakura, who looked as though he woke up at the wrong side of the bed.
“This is Bakura, Mr. Mouto.” Ryou said. “Kura, this is Yugi's grandfather.”
Bakura slightly flushed upon hearing his nickname. Atemu smiled then looked over at Yugi.
“Any plans you could think of Aibou?” He asked.
Yugi thought for a moment, but shrugged.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Grandpa said as he reached into one of his bags.
“What is it Grandpa?” Yugi asked.
“Could you go over to Kia's place and give this to her grandmother.” Grandpa said as he handed a small jewelry box.
“Okay Grandpa.” Yugi said as he took the box. “Maybe Kia has a plan for today?”
“I guess there's only one way to find out.” Ryou said as everyone left the shop after saying good-bye to the elder.
~Somewhere in the Park~
“I wonder why your grandpa got a gift for Kia's grandma?” Ryou asked.
“Let's just say you're never to old to have a crush.” Yugi said with a bit of amusement in his tone.
“I see.” Ryou said as he looked over to their look-alikes, who seem to be annoying each other. He shook his head, knowing better then to butt in.
~Front of Kia's Shop~
They stopped in front of a floral shop and met Kia and Kayra, tending the flowers outside.
“Hey Kia! Hey Kayra!” Yugi called, getting the two girls his attention.
“Morning everyone.” Kia said with a bright smile on her face.
“You look happy today.” Ryou said as he held Bakura's arm so he wouldn't dash off.
That's when the door opened to reveal a woman, who seems to be in her mid-forties with snow-white hair and a bit taller than both girls.
“Who do we have here?” The woman said.
“Hello Mrs. Moonshadow.” Yugi replied, making the other three look at him.
“Why, hello Yugi. I haven't seen you in a while, of course it's been raining mostly.” Mrs. Moonshadow said.
“Yeah.” Yugi said as he handed out the box. “Grandpa got back from Egypt today and got you this.”
“It's beautiful.” Mrs. Moonshadow said as she examined the box. “Tell your grandfather that it was sweet of him, the next time you see him.” Yugi nodded.
“And who are these gentlemen?” She asked looking over the three.
Yugi hit his head. “Where are my manners. This is Ryou and the one next to him is Bakura, and this is Atemu.” He said as he pointed out.
At that moment, a motorcycle came up, nearly scaring out of their wits, and stopped a few feet from the shop.
“There you are! We've been looking for you.” The driver said as he took off the helmet revealing Malik as the passenger did the same, which happens to be Marik.
“And those two are Marik and Malik.” Yugi finished.
“Did we miss anything?” Malik asked as he and Marik got off of the motorcycle.
“Actually, you're just in time to help me with a few things.” Mrs. Moonshadow said as she went back in the shop.
“Now I'm definitely lost.” Malik said.
~Few hours later~
“Must stop. Can't… take it… anymore.” Malik said as he scrubbed the rust off the plant holders.
“It can't be that bad.” Ryou said as he repotted some flowers.
“It is when you see some kind of growth here.” Malik called.
“It's just rusty.” Kia said as she brought in a huge sack of mush.
Malik gave up and continued scrubbing.
Yugi and Atemu were outside in the greenhouse, cleaning the pond.
“Come here you stupid fish!” Yugi said as he tried to grab hold of a Coy fish. (A/N: Is that how you spell it?)
Atemu couldn't help but chuckle at the little light's attempt to catch a fish. He continued to pick up the remaining water lilies from the pond and decided to help the other.
“Need help?” He asked as he tried to hold his laughter when Yugi completely fell into the pond.
“A lot of it.” Yugi said as he reached out his hand and grabbed the other's.
It took a while, but they managed to gather all the fish from the pond.
“Glad that's over with.” Yugi said as he sat down on a stone bench while Atemu stared at Yugi and getting a strange feeling that Yugi looked hot when soaked, with the little one's clothes look tight on him, but showing the well built frame.
`Stop thinking such things.' He thought to himself, until Yugi brought out of his reverie.
~At the end of the day~
“Thank-you so much for helping out today everyone.” Mrs. Moonshadow said.
“We were glad to help out in some way, right?” Atemu said, as he looked over at the other two, who looked bored out of their minds.
“Yeah, sure.” Marik said.
“Whatever.” Bakura said.
Everyone looked at them then continued with their conversation.
“Oh, I almost forgot.” Mrs. Moonshadow said as she quickly went back into the room and back out. “Could you give this to your grandfather?” She asked as she handed a box to Yugi, who took hold of it.
“Of course.” He said.
“We better get going, or your sister is going to have my head for sure.” Marik said as he got on the driver part of the motorcycle as Malik hopped on the passenger's part.
“See you around!” Malik said as they sped on out.
“See ya!” Everyone said.
“We better get going to Aibou.” Atemu said as he and Yugi, along with Ryou and Bakura, walked out after saying good-bye.
