Chapter Six
 
 
Aten walked into the Kame Game Shop and saw Yugi was awake and getting something to eat and apparently hadn't heard him come in.
 
“Hello Yugi.”
 
Yugi jumped and spun around to look at the person who snuck up on him.
 
“Oh…Aten…you scared me. I didn't even hear you come in.”
 
“Sorry little one.” Aten smiled as he sat at the table.
 
Yugi stepped up beside the table and set a sandwich down and then proceeded to set across from him and looked down as though inspecting his food.
 
“Why do you call me that?” Yugi asked quietly.
 
“What? Little one?”
 
Yugi nodded.
 
“I don't know it just seems to fit you.”
 
Yugi looked up and saw the unsure look on Aten's face and it did not fit him at all.
 
“I don't mind. I just wanted to know.” Yugi smiled.
 
Aten looked up and smiled a little.
 
“You want something to eat or drink?” Yugi asked as he stood and made his way to the refrigerator.
 
“No I am fine but I might go lay down for a while.”
 
“Oh…okay.”
 
Aten stood and was about to head toward the living room when Yugi stopped him.
 
“Seto invited us over later…that is if you want to go.” Yugi looked at Aten with huge amethyst eyes.
 
“Sure we can go after I lay down. I really didn't get much sleep last night.” Aten smiled.
 
“Okay…you can sleep upstairs. Yami's room is the first door on the right.”
 
“Thank you and if you need anything you can wake me up.”
 
“Alright I will.” Yugi smiled
 
Aten smiled as he walked out of the kitchen and upstairs. Yugi watched as he disappeared and smiled. He liked Aten being around. He didn't feel so lonely any more and it did feel as though he had Yami back.
 
 
Around five in the afternoon Yugi made his way upstairs and knocked on the door. There was a muffled `come in' and Yugi gently opened the door and made his way in and toward the bed. He looked at the sleeping form before him, but all he could see was the red tips of Aten's hair. A soft snore was heard every now and then. He gently placed a hand on Aten's shoulder and gave a little shove.
 
“Aten are you ready to get up now? We need to be at Seto's in about two hours.”
 
“Hmm.” Aten rolled over and opened tired eyes to see bright amethyst pools looking at him.
 
“Come on get up lazy butt get up so we can get ready to go.”
 
Aten propped himself up on his elbows and looked at Yugi.
 
Yugi started to giggle and Aten raised an eyebrow.
 
“What's so funny?”
 
Yugi continued to laugh and pointed.
 
“Y-your hair…it's all lopsided.” Yugi found this hilarious.
 
“Ha, Ha, Ha very funny.” Aten said as he lurched forward and started to tickle Yugi.
 
“A-Aten p-please….stop!” Yugi laughed harder as he collapsed on the bed
 
“N-not fair!” Yugi laughed out as Aten began tickling him harder.
 
“Say you're sorry.” Aten laughed as Yugi squirmed and laughed even harder.
 
“Okay…alright…sorry!” Yugi giggled as he tried to push Aten.
 
Aten leaned back on the bed and watched as Yugi regained his composure. Yugi looked at Aten with a huge smile on his face.
 
“I haven't had that much fun since…” He trailed off as an image on Yami entered his mind.
 
Yami used to do the same thing when Yugi would come in and wake him up especially if he didn't want get up or be bothered. Yugi looked around the room and saw that it was exactly the same as it had been two years ago. He had shut the door and never opened it until today.
 
He was brought back into reality when Aten coughed. He looked up into crimson eyes and shook his head.
 
“Never mind.” Yugi put both hands up in a defensive manner.
 
Aten looked at the young man in front of him. He could offer no words to comfort him.
 
“Well…I guess I should go take a shower.” Aten said as he smiled at Yugi.
 
“Okay I will be downstairs if you need anything.”
 
Aten smiled and nodded as he walked out of the room and towards the bathroom.
 
 
After about half an hour Aten walked downstairs with just his leather pants on. Yugi looked up and saw that Aten had no shirt on.
 
Aten shrugged as he looked at Yugi.
 
“My two shirts are dirty.”
 
Yugi blinked a few times as he thought.
 
“Wait right here.” Yugi said as he bounded up the stairs.
 
A few moments later he came down holding a dark crimson silk long sleeve shirt in his hands.
 
“It was Yami's, but it should fit you since you have the same build.”
 
“Thank you.” Aten said as he took the shirt.
 
As he turned around Yugi noticed a tattoo across the top of his back. It was an Egyptian ankh with the eye of Horus on either side. The colors were beautiful and gave it an ancient look. It was outlined in black and had gold and brown shading.
 
“Where did you get that?” Yugi asked
 
“Get what young one?”
 
“That tattoo on your back it is so beautiful.”
 
“It was given to me…in Egypt as a symbol of eternal life and protection.”
 
Yugi's mouth made and `O' as he looked at Aten.
 
Yugi looked at the time and saw that it was already six thirty.
 
“Come on Aten we don't want to be late!” He said as he rushed out the door. Aten grabbed his jacket, keys and helmet and ran after Yugi.
 
They both got on the bike and Aten took it easier since the snow had made the roads slick. Yugi held onto Aten though as tight as he had earlier in the day.
 
 
Aten and Yugi pulled up in Seto's driveway and both dismounted the bike. Aten walked up to the door, but before he could ring the door bell Yugi put a hand on his shoulder.
 
“Are you sure you want to do this? I mean you really don't know Seto and Mokuba too well.”
 
Aten nodded and proceeded to ring the door bell. They both heard someone running toward the door. The door swung open revealing a smiling Mokuba.
 
“Hey Yugi, Aten!” He said as he opened the door wider to let both of them in.
 
“Seto's just finishing with dinner so we can go ahead and have a seat at the table.”
 
Mokuba led them into the huge dining room. The table was big enough for at least twelve people and was a deep cherry wood. A giant crystal chandelier hung above the table lighting the whole room.
 
One of the walls was nothing but a huge window that had a spectacular view of a pond with the moon reflecting in its dark waters and was surrounded my many sakura trees.
 
Aten turned to see that Mokuba and Yugi were already seated and talking intently about a new duel tournament that Kaiba Corp was holding. He decided to go into the kitchen and see what Seto was up to. As he walked in he put a hand to his mouth as he tried to stifle a laugh that was coming.
 
Seto turned around and looked at Aten with an eyebrow raised.
 
“What?”
 
This time Aten couldn't hold the laugh in and leaned up against the wall so that he wouldn't fall onto the floor in hysterics.
 
“What is so funny?” Seto asked as he looked at Aten with confused sapphire eyes.
 
Aten finally composed himself just enough to talk.
 
“Well you are wearing an apron, but not only that…it says kiss the cook.” Aten laughed as he said the last part.
 
Seto looked at Aten and gave him his most heated glare. His eyes went eyes went wide moments later as he watched Aten walk seductively closer to him.
 
“So do you need any help?” Aten said as he looked up at Seto and placed a hand on his arm.
 
“Um…Uh…” Seto blinked as he looked into crimson eyes.
 
Aten cocked his head to the side as he smirked. He then turned and walked over to the refrigerator. Seto stared after him still caught off guard by Aten's actions.
 
“Well I'll take something out for everyone to drink and when I get back I will help you finish with the food. That is if you want me to.” With that Aten walked out of the kitchen balancing a pitcher of tea and four glasses.
 
Seto stared after Aten mainly staring at his ass, but also wondering where he learned to balance so many things and not falter or drop anything.
 
He leaned against the counter and breathed a sigh of relief as he closed his eyes and placed a hand to his forehead.
 
“Oh Yami what am I supposed to do?”
 
Just as he said that a gust of cold air caught his attention. He opened his eyes and there sitting on one of the bar stools was Yami in his white leather. He was staring intently at Seto as his elbows rested on the counter and hands cupping his face. A small smile played on his lips.
 
“Yami…how…I thought that…”
 
“What? That I was limited only to appear in dreams.”
 
Seto nodded as he looked at his love.
 
“Why are you here?”
 
Yami eyed Seto and smirked.
 
“Kiss the cook.”
 
“Hey! This is so I don't get food on my clothes.” Seto said defensively as he looked at Yami with narrowed eyes.
 
Yami chuckled.
 
“Mine would have said something unique like…ravish the cook.” He said as he laughed harder.
 
“Ha, ha very funny Yami.” Seto said dryly as Yami shrugged.
 
“You are cooking a lot of food.” Yami said as he arched an eyebrow.
 
Seto looked down at the floor.
 
“Well I invited Yugi and Aten over for dinner.”
 
“Aten?” Yami gave Seto a puzzled look.
 
Seto looked up and saw the look on Yami's face.
 
“He…he is the one I told you about.” Seto blushed as he looked at Yami.
 
“Oh…so he is here?” Yami hopped off the stool and started toward the dinning room.
 
“Yami what are you doing? Get back here!” Seto said in a quiet yet harsh tone.
 
“Oh come on Seto I just want to see him.” Yami waved his hand in a dismissive gesture.
 
“Yami…no don't!” Seto whispered, but it was too late Yami had made his way into the dining room.
 
“Man it got cold in here.” Yugi said as he rubbed his arms.
 
“Yeah.” Mokuba nodded.
 
Aten didn't seem to notice as he had his eyes closed and seemed to not be paying attention to anything around him. Mokuba and Yugi looked at him and then at each other with questioning eyes.
 
“Aten?” Yugi questioned.
 
Aten didn't answer nor open his eyes.
 
“Earth to Aten!” Mokuba shouted as he leaned over the table and waved a hand in front of his face.
 
Still Aten didn't move.
 
Seto watched this and saw Yami inspecting him. Yami touched Aten's hair and face with slightly transparent hands. Still Aten did not make any movement. Yami walked back over toward Seto and into the kitchen.
 
Seto followed and stopped when Yami turned to look at him.
 
“I can see why you like him, he's hot!” Yami smirked.
 
“He looks just like you. He even has your crimson eyes.”
 
“He's still hot!”
 
“Conceited are we?” Seto smirked.
 
“Just a little.” Yami smiled.
 
“I just hope he is all right he didn't move at all.” Seto said as he gave Yami a worried glance.
 
Yami shrugged. “I am happy for you.”
 
Seto blinked and looked at Yami.
 
“Well I need to be going. I'm getting a little weak.”
 
“Yami please don't go yet.” Seto pleaded as he looked at the fading form before him.
 
“Seto my love, I am closer than you think.” Yami smiled as he disappeared.
 
Seto stared at the spot where Yami disappeared a little confused at what he had just said.
 
“What did you mean by that Yami?” Seto questioned.
 
He was drawn back into reality when he heard a loud thud in the next room and both Yugi and Mokuba yell. He ran into the dining room and saw Mokuba and Yugi kneeling beside Aten who was unconscious and laying sprawled on the floor.
 
Seto got pale as an image of Yami getting hit by the car flooded his mind. Aten was sprawled out on the wooden floor much like Yami was on the pavement and that image did not bode well with him. The only thing that was missing was the blood and he hoped that would not appear next.
 
He slowly walked over and looked at the man as the tears began to form in his sapphire eyes.
 
Tbc…
