It was a lazy day and Yugi was taking the chance to just sit in on a park bench, people watch, and breathe. Battle City had been intense and then the whole Shadow Game utilizing Yami's -no it was Atem now wasn't it?- memories. After the Ceremonial Duel when Atem had chosen to stay with him instead of going to the afterlife, it had been nothing but a rush to get back to Kame Game and try to process everything.

A deep sigh echoed from below him and Yugi blinked, looking down to see Atem sitting on the grass below him. The dark half of their soul was currently leaning back against the park bench with his body between Yugi's legs. Dark eyes were closed and it was obvious Atem was resting as well. Or, then again Yugi thought, maybe not.

Soft violet eyes noticed one of Atem's hands resting on right knee gently, almost possessively. He covered the darker hand with his own and lifted it to bring it close to his lips. His own eyes closed as he pressed lips softly to the dark digits in his hand. The fingers twitched and Yugi could feel Atem's gaze on him like the sun's heat. It was an intense heat that warmed his soul as well as his skin.

"Yami."

Yugi blinked in confusion and gazed down to his darker half in confusion. Atem met Yugi's violet eyes with his own identical set and squeezed Yugi's hand. "I'm Yami. We are Atem, together. Our unified soul is Atem. As we are now, you are Yugi and I am Yami. That is my name. Atem is our name."

The warmth became a burning sensation and Yugi began drowning in violet only a shade or so darker than his own. But it was not terrifying or disorienting like it probably should have been. Instead, it was welcoming and familiar. Safe.

A dark finger trailed along his cheek, reminding Yugi of their proximity and he returned his attention to them. He kissed them again before flicking one with his tongue. The resulting gasp from below was a good sign and Yugi took the chance to cover just the tip with his mouth. He peeked out between his eyelids and saw Yami staring at him in awe as if hypnotized. He flicked his tongue out again brushing another finger.

Something brushed his cheek and Yugi opened his eyes fully and noticed Yami's other hand. He caught that one as well, holding both dark hands captive. Yami simply twitched and stared up at Yugi in the same manner a worshiper gazed at a god. Dark violet narrowed when fingers from both hands were suddenly teased by a slick wet tongue before entering Yugi's hot mouth.

"Aibou."

It was faint, just a whisper, but it sent shivers racing through Yugi's body. The lighter half of their soul knew exactly what he was doing to their darker half and regretted nothing.

/Aibou./

Again the word that meant so much to both of them, this time whispered in his mind. Yugi visibly shuddered releasing a shaky breath through his nose. This would not be their first time but it always seemed to feel like it. They were both always gentle and unsure, forever concerned for the other's wellbeing and comfort.

/Aibou…/ Yugi hummed at the uneven quality of Yami's mental voice. /As much as I am truly enjoying this, I do not think…you want the attention./

Attention? Yugi opened his eyes and noticed several people staring at the two of them. Their faces varied from horror to fascination bringing a blush to Yugi's pale cheeks. He made to lean back away from the tasty dark fingers when a shadow suddenly filled his vision. He lifted his gaze and his eyes widened at the sight of Yami. The dark braced a knee on the bench between Yugi's legs before leaning down to stare directly into his light's eyes.

"How about we play a game?" he said.

Yugi gulped. "A game?"

Yami grinned hungrily which only caused another ticklish shiver to agitate the butterflies in Yugi's stomach. "Yes. You and I walk back to Kame Game quietly. I'll hold your hand of course, but," he tapped Yugi's nose teasingly, "if you make even the slightly noise, I reserve the right to play with you before finishing you. Interested?"

Interested? Honestly, what kind of question was that? When he could not find his voice, Yugi nodded meekly. Yami grinned and leaned down so his and Yugi's cheeks brushed so he could whisper in Yugi's ear two simple words.

"Game start."
