Hi! *waves happily* Welcome to my first Yugioh fic! It contains yaoi, so if ya don't like it, don't read it. A BIG thankyou to my beta reader, lily22, for reading the first 3 chapters ^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh in any way, nor did I back in Ancient Egypt.

Fic Notes: I'm refering to Yami Yugi as just "Yami" cuz it's shorter and I think it's clear enough with this story anyways. Vague spoilers for people who haven't seen the beginning of Battle Ship (VERY vague and general, but I thought I'd warn ya just in case). Okeey, enjoy ^.^



Chapter One

As soon as Honda had to leave, Anzu promptly made an excuse and departed. She did have good intentions leaving the two of them alone in Yugi's bedroom...

Jounouchi ran his thumb over Yugi's lips, parting them slightly as he closed his eyes and moved his face in closer. Yugi's heart beat faster and he made no effort to refuse Jounouchi's kiss...

...but...

...this wasn't a situation Yugi wanted to be in.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be with Jounouchi. He'd been more than thrilled that Jounouchi had understood his confession of love, rather than just take it as an expression of friendship. He had been sure that he was going to die in that duel, and that was the one thing he knew he'd regret if he didn't say it then.

Jounouchi's hand gripped Yugi's waist and pulled him closer as their tongues worked against each other. Jounouchi slowly pushed his kiss forward until Yugi was lying beneath him.

"Jounouchi-kun..." Yugi pulled him in closer.

"Yugi", Jounouchi breathed back, right in his ear, making Yugi tremble.

Yugi didn't want to stop, but THAT matter wouldn't let him continue.

Jounouchi was just starting to run his fingers over the flesh beneath Yugi's shirt, when Yugi put his hands on Jounouchi's shoulders and gently pushed him away.

Jounouchi's eyes met Yugi's.

Yugi hated seeing those eyes and the mixture of confusion and hurt that tainted their normally warm brown depths. Jounouchi knew how much it pained Yugi to think that he was hurting him, so he was quick to look away.

"Not yet, huh?" he moved off of Yugi and sat back up.

"...I'm really sorry, Jounouchi-kun..." Yugi pulled himself up.

"Come on Yugi, don't make that face," Jounouchi, made an effort to smile, "There's no rush."

"Thankyou Jounouchi-kun," Yugi leaned over and lightly kissed him.

Jounouchi didn't have to make an effort to smile that time...

...and that smile made Yugi hate himself even more for lying to him.



Yugi didn't want to be with Jounouchi while he was being dishonest. After they had both survived the death duel in which Malik had pitted them against each other, Yugi had decided that their relationship had to change. It was time for them to be honest about their feelings. Once the Battle City tournament was over, everything would be different...

...and it was different now... but not in the way Yugi had hoped it would be.

Something unexpected had happened on the Battle Ship and it had completely thrown off all of Yugi's plans.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kaiba had shown up at the door to Yugi's room the night after his other self's duel with Yami Bakura.

"I finally got to see you use it," Kaiba let himself into the room, "Osiris... it is truly powerful."

"Kaiba what do you want?"

Yugi didn't always like the way his other self was so rude, but he did appreciate the way he could easily get to the point.

"You used Osiris like I said to," Kaiba walked over to him. Had Yugi been in control, he would have stepped back a bit, but his yami didn't budge.

"You doing what I say... I like that," Kaiba smirked.

Yugi's other self said nothing.

"The more I look at you..." Kaiba ran his eyes up and down Yami Yugi's figure, "You really are a different person..."

"You believe me?" Yami said the phrase in a manner that seemed to have 'it's about time, moron,' tacked silently onto the end.

"Heh, I could never accept you as a Pharoah or whatever the hell it is you said you were, but a different person than Yugi... yes, I believe it." Kaiba's words had the 'it's true because I, the all powerful Kaiba Seto now believe it's true' feeling to them.

"After all.." Kaiba took hold of Yami's shoulder, "...Yugi was never so alluring," before either Yugi or his other self had a chance to react to that, Kaiba pulled Yami in and kissed him.
