Chapter Five

 

~He watched Seth standing at his balcony watching the sunset. He walked up and placed a hand on Seth's shoulder.

 

“What are you doing love?”

 

Seth whirled around looking down. “Atemu” he breathed. “Why?”

 

“I am the pharaoh and holder of the millennium puzzle I must stop this war between man and the shadows.”

 

Seth looked down at the floor.

 

“Atemu…..you will die though, if you go through with this.”

 

Atemu put his hand under Seth's chin and raised his head to look at him.

“My love, we will be together again. Maybe not in this life, but we will be together.” Atemu said as he leaned in to claim Seth's lips in a soft tender kiss.

 

“Please Seth be strong when it is time for me to part. I want you to be the pharaoh as I know you will treat the people as I do.”

“

Atemu I….I can't live without you and I could never be as great as pharaoh as you. There has to be another way we can put an end to this war.”

 

The Pharaoh bowed his head and spoke with a whisper.

“My Priest, my love you must go on for me. I will always be with you in your memories and your heart.”

 

Then all went black~

 

 

Seto walked in to see Yami sweating and breathing hard. Worried he sat down on the bed and tried to wake him.

 

“Yami.” He whispered as he shook him lightly. Still nothing.

 

“Yami wake up.” He spoke a little louder this time and got the reaction he wanted. Crimson eyes opened and saw Seto staring at him.

 

“Bad dream?” Seto asked still close to Yami.

 

“Yeah, but I am fine now.”

 

Seto looked at Yami and started to get up when he felt a tug on his arm. He looked down and saw a hand on his shirt. He turned to look at Yami whose eyes were puffy and dark circles under the normally flawless face.

 

“Please Seto will you stay with me?” Yami asked with pleading eyes.

Seto looked at Yami for a brief moment before he climbed into the bed, lay down and pulled Yami toward him. Yami laid his head on Seto's chest and soon fell into a deep sleep as he listened to the heart beat.

 

Seto looked down at Yami taking in his beauty. He rubbed Yami's back and took in the scent of his hair, a wonderful cinnamon smell and he too fell asleep with his angel in his arms.

 

Yami awoke and looked out the window to see it was still snowing, he looked to the spot beside him and he wondered if it was all a dream. Seto was holding him and they both slept. Shaking the memory out of his head, he stood and made his way to the bathroom. Yami looked at his reflection in the mirror. He noticed the gash on the side of his face and neck. He splashed water in his face then walked out and made his way downstairs.

 

Seto was pouring himself a cup of coffee as Yami entered the kitchen.

 

 

“Coffee?” Seto asked as he took notice of the other presence in the room.

 

“Yes, thank you.” Yami replied as he sat down at the table.

 

Seto sat the cup in front of Yami then scooted the sugar and creamer across the table. Seto sat at the other end of the table, he noticed how regal Yami looked even if his hair was messy and how tired he looked. `Oh Kami, he is beautiful.'

 

“Seto thank you again for all that you have done.”

 

“You can quite thanking me, I'm just glad you are alright.”

 

Yami looked down at his coffee. He had feelings for Seto, but kept reminding himself it was not his priest he once loved so long ago. He was the same person he was, the pharaoh, but Seto was not. Yami stood up and walked to the doorway of the kitchen.

 

“I think I should get back home and see Yugi.” Yami said his back still turned to Seto.

 

“Let me grab my coat then we can go.”

 

“Alright.”

 

The ride home was quiet and seemed to take forever in Yami's mind. Once they pulled up to the game shop Yami got out of the car.

 

“See you tomorrow at work.” Yami spoke.

 

“Alright take care of yourself, if you need anything just call.” Seto said as he noticed how distant Yami looked.

 

“I will be fine Seto, but if I need to talk I will call you.”

 

“Good bye.”

 

“Bye.”

 

Yami walked into the games shop and shut the door behind him. Seto drove off still worried about the pharaoh.

 

“Yugi I'm home!” Yami yelled when he didn't see his Aibou in the kitchen or living room. He heard running sown the stairs and then was pulled into a death grip.

 

“YAMI!” Yugi yelled as he held on to his dark.

“I was so worried about you, are you sure you are okay? You look tired come in and lay down on the couch.” Yugi was talking a mile a minute as he dragged Yami to the couch and pushed him down.

 

“Aibou I'm alright really.” Yami chuckled as he tried to sit up while Yugi was holding him down.

 

“I would like to take a shower though.” Yami finally was able to sit up with his lighter half in his lap.

 

“Once you're done though you need to come down here and rest.” Yugi tried a stern look, but to no avail.

 

“Yes Aibou I will.” Yami still laughing went up the stairs to take a shower.

 

Yami made his way down the stairs about an hour later wearing a long sleeve crimson shirt that matched his eyes, black leather pants, as always two belts, arm bands and his belt choker.

He noticed that the whole gang was there even Bakura.

 

“Hello Tomb robber.” Yami nodded to the white hair thief.

 

“Pharaoh.” He stated as he looked up at Yami. He noticed that the pharaoh looked pale and acted nothing like he would usually. No insults, not even any spite in the greeting. Bakura motioned for Yami to come sit by him. Yami hesitated but went to sit next to the thief.

 

 

“Pharaoh what is wrong, you need to quit sulking it is just not royal like.” Bakura said trying to mask his concern the best he could. It must have worked because Yami looked at him with narrowed crimson eyes.

 

“You know nothing about what is going on, tomb robber.” Yami hissed out as he got up to go find Yugi. Bakura grabbed his arm and pulled him back onto the couch.

 

“It's the priest isn't it?”

 

Yami's eyes went wide and Bakura noticed this.

 

“So it is your priest.”

 

“Bakura stop, he is no longer my priest or my love.” Yami said while sighing.

 

“Pharaoh you still love him and that will never change and I'm sure deep down he loves you as well.”

 

Yami looked at Bakura shocked that he even would care.

“I will never know because I will never voice this love I have for him.”

 

Bakura sighed and looked once more at Yami.

 

“Baka Pharaoh.”

 

“Same to you tomb robber” Yami stood up and went to the kitchen where everyone else had gathered.

 

Yugi and Jou were dueling while Anzu, Ryou, and Honda watched as Yugi beat Jou again.

 

“Man five times in a row. Come on Yuge one more time and dis time I will beat ya.” Jou said as he shuffled his cards.

 

“Jou, give up man Yuge is the second king of games.” Honda said earning a stern look from Jou.

 

“Yeah, five times in an hour. You can't beat Yugi.” Ryou said as he leaned against Bakura.

 

Yami stood and watched as his Aibou sat and talked with his friends.

 

“Hey Yami come and join us.” Anzu waved.

 

Yami walked over and stood beside his Aibou.

 

“Hey Yam's wanna duel?” Jou asked.

 

“Jou, Yugi beat you five times and besides if you can't beat Yugi you can't defeat me.” Yami said with a smirk.

 

“Man I will beat both of ya one day.” Jou said as the others laughed.

 

“Fine Jou let's duel.” Yami sat down at the table and pulled out his duel deck. When he got his own body he put together his own deck that rivaled even Yugi's.

 

The time passed quickly as Yami and Jou's duel went on. Everybody even Bakura was watching as Jou got his butt kicked not once but three times and then Yami dueled Yugi and beat him four times.

 

After everybody talked and joked around they all left leaving Yugi and Yami to relax at home.

 

“So Yami how do you feel?”

 

“Tired Aibou, but other than that alright.” Yami walked over to the couch handing Yugi a cup of hot chocolate and he sat down with one as well.

 

Yugi took notice of all the cuts and bruises on his dark and put a gentle hand to his cheek. Yami winced but didn't move as Yugi stroked his cheek and moved a blonde bang away to notice the gash near his hair line.

 

“Oh Yami, I'm worried about you. Usually you can handle fights.” Yugi frowned as his amethyst eyes started to tear up.

 

Yami sighed and looked at Yugi out of the corner of his eye.

“Aibou…”

 

“Yami you can tell me.”

 

“It's just….I haven't been feeling so well lately and you know how that affects my shadow magic.” Yami said as he looked away from Yugi.

 

“Are you sure that is all?” Amethyst eyes pleading.

 

“Yes Aibou.” Yami looked at the clock and saw it was midnight.

 

“Well we need to go to bed, you have school and I have to work.” Yami hated that he was keeping Yugi from his problems, but his hikari had a lot to worry about but just him.

 

They both walked upstairs holding hands. Yami tucked Yugi in after he got his pajamas on and kissed him on the forehead.

 

“Goodnight Aibou.”

 

“Goodnight Yami.”

 

Yami walked out leaving the door cracked a little and went to his room.

 

Yugi laid in bed looking up at the ceiling worried about his dark and hoped that everything would be okay. He rolled over and closed his eyes as he let the tears fall and roll down his face.

 

Yami lay in his bed and found sleep was not coming easy. He stared out the window and watched what few stars there were twinkle and fade. He then sat up and pulled some sleeping pills out of his nightstand and took them. Thirty minutes later he finally fell asleep dreaming of nothing.

 

The first in many nights.
