this just popped into my head so i thought i'd share it:)


Atem sees a small boy sitting on the floor of his chamber one night.

"Yugi?"

"Yes, pharaoh." Yugi looks up.

"What are you doing?"

"Mending your cloak."

"Yugi, I've told you."

"I know you said I don't have to do anything."

"Then stop." Atem kneels down, taking his cloak from Yugi. "You've done enough for me."

"When will YOU stop?" Yugi asks.

"It's my fault you're stuck here." Atem hangs his cloak before turning to leave.

"No, it's not pharaoh."

"Stop calling me that."

"Atem," the pharaoh stops in the doorway, "I chose this."

"What?" He turns to look at Yugi.

"I chose to stay here. Shadi asked each of us if we wanted to returns home or say here. Joey, Tristan, and Tea said they wanted to go home. They thought I would go back too. But, Atem, I didn't want to leave your side. I never want to leave you."

"Yugi, why would you want to stay with me? I'm nothing compared to life you had." Atem watched as Yugi stood and walked to the window.

"Because I love you." Yugi whispered, to low for the pharaoh to hear.

Atem walked up behind Yugi, he turns Yugi so the boy is facing him. "What did you say?"

"Do you want me here, or do you wish I had gone home?"

"Of course I want you here. You are my light."

"Then do not hate me," Yugi bows his head and whispers, "I love you, my pharaoh."

"Is that why you've been acting like this?" Yugi nods, "Why did you not tell me sooner, my light?"

"I am sorry."

"Sorry?" Atem lifts Yugi's head and sees that he is crying, "Yugi. Do not cry, and do not be sorry. I love you."

"What?" Yugi could not believe what he had just heard.

"Yugi, I said I love you."

Yugi smiles and hugs the pharaoh. Atem chuckles and wraps his arm around the small boy he had come to love beyond anything. He had waited so long for this. He buried his face in Yugi's hair while Yugi began to sob with joy.

Finally pulling away enough to speak Yugi says, "I love you, Atem."

Atem smiles and leans down to Yugi, "And I love you, Yugi."

Atem pulls Yugi into his arms and kisses him with all the strength he has. Yugi gasps, and Atem deepens the kiss, Yugi relaxes allowing Atem to enter his mouth.

The two separate, both unwillingly, when they hear someone coming.

"My pharaoh, the city is under attack."


not too bad for something that just appeared out of no where:)
