Behold The King

It was another hot summer in Domino City, the sun beaming down on everyone, it has been like this for 3 days now. Yugi was just leaving school with his friends as they all decided to walk Yugi home before heading off themselves. Joey fanned himself in a failed attempt to cool himself off "Jeez... Why is it so damn hot recently?"

"I don't know man, I just want it to stop"

Tristan complained shortly after, Tea groaned to herself not liking it either.

"It kind of feels like a desert today, doesn't it?"

Yugi replied with an apologetic tone in his voice. Joey sighed heavily in response "At least ask your mom if she can make us something to drink? I'm super thirsty right now!"

Yugi huffed a small laugh "Usually you're complaining about being way too hungry"

Joey grumbled "I'm still a functioning human being, Yuuge!"

Tristan laughed in return "Could have fooled me!"

Joey then glared daggers at Tristan "Hush you have no right to talk..."

"I'm home!" Yugi announced as he entered through the door to the game shop, his mother greeting him and his friends who walked through the door "Welcome home Yugi, I see your friends walked here with you, I suppose you want something to drink after walking in this heat correct?"

Joey and Tristan both lifted their heads in response with hope in their eyes "YES PLEASE!"

"Alright, I'll be right back"

Mrs. Mutou walked off to get some drinks ready while the four friends sat in the living room with the air conditioner cranking. Tea smiled as she noticed Yugi fidgeting with his puzzle "Something up Yugi?"

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing I was just thinking..."

Yugi responded casually, Tea tilted her head with curiousity "About the Pharaoh?"

Yugi turned towards her and smiled back "Yeah, just plans we have together tonight, I'm going to visit his soul room"

Mrs. Mutou shortly then entered to hand out drinks for everyone "Here you go everyone~ We don't want you to get dehydrated now do we?"

"Thanks Mrs. Mutou!" Joey cheerfully shouted before taking his drink and gulping it down, followed by Tristan doing the same.

"Thanks mom"

Yugi smiled before taking his drink and having a sip, he then stared a his puzzle again, thinking back about what the pharaoh had talked to him about.

"Yugi, I want you to come to my soul rom tonight, I need to show you something"

Yugi, thinking back about it, was only curious about what it could be that Yami wanted to tell him, was it bad? good? Yugi hoped it was the latter.

Later that night Yugi had gotten into his pajamas, entering his room with a yawn before picking up the puzzle and staring at it "Pharaoh, I'm coming to see you now"

Yugi closed his eyes as he was transported into the Millennium Puzzle, inside Yami's soul room.

"Yugi, you've arrived"

Yami said with folded arms, Yugi turned towards him and stared with curiousity "What is it you wanted to show me, Yami?"

Yami closed his eyes briefly before turning his head towards the dark depths of his room "I wandered far into the puzzle and found something strange"

Yugi's eyes showed wonder, curious as to what it is Yami found, maybe some clues about his ancient past "Then, will you show me?"

Yami looked at Yugi and nodded before walking off into the specific direction he mentioned before, Yugi followed after.

Soon enough Yami and Yugi both came to a door with a golden eye on it, the door appeared much more clean compared to the others, you could almost see your own reflection in it.

"This door here... is why I called you here, I feel it holds something important about my past, I'm not sure what and I'm wondering if I should even consider opening it"

Yugi stared at the door for awhile before responding "Well pharaoh... We need to find out what's behind it, afterall if you feel it's important we can't risk not opening it"

Yugi looked at Yami with determination "How about we open it together?"

Yami blinked once, staring at Yugi before a small smile was shown on his face "Alright, let's do it, partner"

They both nodded, both reaching for and holding the door handle and at the same time opening the door. A beam of holy light shone through it, both of them transported out of the soul room and into Yugi's room. Yugi slowly unshielded his eyes to see what happened and he was amazed at the first thing he saw, Yami had his own body! He was astonished by it, and confused, Yami unshielded his eyes shortly after and looked at Yugi with confusion "What's wrong, partner?"

Yugi's jaw was dropped but he quickly shook his head to rid his previous expression "You're!... You...! You have your own body!"

Yami was confused as he checked himself over noticing that Yugi was right, he did indeed have his own body, but that's not where it ended the light beamed out of the puzzle and hit the center of Yugi's room as they began shielding their eyes once again.

After a while the light faded and they looked up to see yet another amazing sight "Wh... What is this?"

Yami stared in awe as well as Yugi "It's... You!"

The pharaoh that Yugi knew himself was there in his room along with Yami! All dressed up in his pharaoh clothes, the man slowly fell to the ground but before he could hit it, Yugi rushed towards him and caught him.

Yami stared in confusion "How can this be? I'm right here!"

Yugi looked at Yami and then back at the pharaoh 'Yami' before responding "I don't know, but we need to get him to lie down, help me get him to my bed"

Yami nodded and helped carry the pharaoh towards Yugi's bed before placing him on it. They both stared at him in amazement "Amazing"

Yami spoke with wonder in his voice, "Yeah"

Yugi replied, "I can't believe it"

Yami continued, "Me either"

Yugi responded again, "...My own body actually has muscle tone"

"Eh!?"

Yugi shouted, feeling a bit insulted "That's what you were-... Nevermind"

Yami looked at Yugi apologetically "Sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way, your build really suits you, I just didn't feel it quite suited me"

Yugi pouted as his eyes turned away from Yami "It suits me huh..."

Soon enough the pharaoh slowly opened his eyes "He's waking up!" Yami pointed out while Yugi loked back at the pharaoh on his bed, watching him slowly come to.

The pharaoh opened his eyes half lidded, looking to his right, then his left, only to see Yugi and Yami staring at him. The Pharaoh's eyes shot open as he sat up and stared at them both in shock "Who are you two!? Why are you impersonating me!?"

He the proceeded to look around "...And where am I!?... If this is a sick kidnapping I will show you no mercy..."

Yugi approached the pharaoh first to try and calm him down "Please relax, your majesty! We're not here to hurt you! It was an accident"

The Pharaoh lifted an eyebrow at Yugi before looking at Yami "...Explain then"

Yami stepped forward for this one, he began to explain to the pharaoh about himself and the king being the same person, about how he met Yugi, how he is trying to regain his memories and how Yugi is his host and cherished friend. After the whole story was explained the pharaoh glared for a little while longer, until he deeply sighed and relaxed "So this is my fate?"

Yugi gave the king an apologetic expression "I'm sorry, your majesty, we didn't mean for this to happen"

The pharaoh looked back at Yugi again until Yami began talking "I want to ask that you help us out, you are the body of me who has my previous memories, I wish to gain my knowledge back with your help"

The pharaoh looked at Yami, then slowly, stared Yugi head to toe then head again, Yugi gave him a confused stare. The king then looked at Yami while slightly eyeing Yugi "...And what do you have to offer?"

The king smirked at Yugi with lust in his eyes. Yugi flinched in surprise and blushed, knowing full well what he was thinking "First of all..."

Yami's aura became as deathly as his glare at the king "Keep your hands off of my partner and second... The only thing I'll have to offer you at this point is your sanity... Gods help you if you even think of doing anything your filthy mind is thinking to him..."

The king frowned quite disappointingly before smirking "So you'd rather let the world crumble before anyone touches your partner?"

At this rate Yami and the pharaoh were death glaring eachother down, making things awkward for Yugi "U-Uhh... Hey uh..."

Yugi made an attempt to be the voice of reason "Your majesty we don't have to start any fights! Both of you please calm down! Perhaps we can come to a compromise!"

The pharaoh looked at Yugi at the same time Yami did, Yami was the first to speak "Compromise?"

The king spoke shortly after "What kind of compromise?"

Yugi worriedly started thinking "Uh well... What is it we can give you as payment to helping us?"

"Sex"

The king boldly and quickly demanded "W-WHAT!?"

Yugi panicked "YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING HIM YOU BASTARD"

Yami menacingly hissed "Well I guess you can just send me off back home then"

The king smirked at Yami. Yami glared before grinning back "Well, guess who's never going back home then..."

The king then glared daggers right back at Yami again, both staring eachother down. Yugi felt extremely awkward about all of this but he tried his best to find a solution "L-Look you two... Uhm..."

"What?"

Both Yami and the king spoke and turned towards Yugi at the same time. Yugi started panicking even more "L-Let's just get some simple stuff out of the way first... Your majesty, may we have your name please? In this day and age people usually refer to eachother by their names when they're close"

The king lifted an eyebrow before smiling charmingly at Yugi "My name is Atem, and you?"

"Atem huh?"

Yugi smiled cheerfully "I'm Yugi, Yugi Mutou! Nice to meet you, Atem!"

The cute bubbles were basically radiating off of Yugi at this point causing Atem's heart to skip a beat or two. Atem's eyes widened in shock "How can anyone be this damn adorable!?"

Atem questioned to himself, he didn't mind it but now he really wanted to get this compromising on his side of the plate.

Yami pouted at Atem wondering why he was so silent "So what should we do?"

Atem huffed a sigh before finally smiling at Yugi "Alright, you're very kind and reasonable so I'll compromise"

Yugi's face lit up with happiness "Thank you A-"

"Once a week! That's my final answer!"

Yugi then fell over with a loud groan followed by Yami grabbing Atem's cape and pulling towards him with a raging atmosphere "Do I need to remind you what I said with violence?"

"Wait a second Yami!"

Yugi attempted to stop the fight from happening "It's fine, if that's what needs to be done, afterall I was chosen to help you retrieve your memories so I'll do what needs to be done!"

Yami let go of Atem and worryingly looked at him "Yugi that's... But... I don't want you to have to force yourself to do this for me..."

Yugi blushed, embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head "I don't think he's going to accept anything else and besides... I'll be fine"

Yami felt increasingly guilty for having this happen, he should have never opened that door, but it was too late now "Partner... I... I'm so sorry.. I'm very sorry"

Yugi quickly reassured Yami "Yami it's really alright, I'm doing this because I care about you"

Atem watched them go back and forth starting to feel a cringe worthy amount of guilt himself, he then pressed his fingers between his brows and groaned "Here's my final offer, a the king of Egypt I am required to have sex at least once a day, I'm being generous with you with the once a week thing... However If you are worried about his virginity this much..."

Atem looked up at both Yami and Yugi with a frown "Since you see to cherish him so much I will allow you take the first bite"

Yami's eyes widened before yelling at Atem "Yugi is not a toy! I cherish Yugi more than my own life I don't want to force him to do anything!"

"So you expect me to let go everything I've been raised to know to adjust to your standards!?"

Yami and Atem began argueing again, Yugi felt quite flustered at this point and tried to think quickly "I.. uhh..! G-Guys I...!"

Yami and Atem still argued back and forth until finally Yugi shouted aggressively "WHY DON'T YOU BOTH JUST DO IT WITH ME THEN!?"

The room was suddenly deathly quiet, Yugi realized what he just said and his face burned up rather brightly red. Yami and Atem stared in awe before slowly looking at eachother then at Yugi again "...Okay, I'm fine with that"

Atem was the first to break the silence followed by Yami with a small facepalm and groan "...If that's the best we're getting out of him..."

Atem smirked at Yami "My offer still stands for you to take the first bite~"

Yami slowly glared at Atem once again "...I never thought I would be my own worst enemy"

Yugi then gloomed with worry "I'm going to regret this aren't I...?"
