Alright, this is a new story, my first.
Warnings/Notices- Possibly AU, mostly cannon compliant [but not fully], and updates will be…weekly I guess, there will be Yaoi and violence and swearing and mature themes and semi-Abridged personalities and Marik and insulting/racist/sexist/perverted/dirty comments. So, if you're not mature enough to handle it or if any piece of this warning made you blush or giggle for over 12 seconds, I suggest you turn back. And angst. Good god there will be angst. And tragedy. This is Yu-Gi-Oh, what did you expect?
Disclaimer- I, quite unfortunately, do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. If I did, 4Kids TV would never have been able to make it appropriate for children. Ever.
Now, onwards~!
He looked up, staring out at nothing the blank wall of their room.
It was three months after the Ceremonial Duel against Yugi.
He had stayed behind.
He couldn't leave his friends, as much as he wanted to cross over. His heart wouldn't let him.
So he had his own body now, a sort of 'you did well' gift from the Gods.
He should have been happy.
Don't misunderstand, he loved Yugi and all of their friends dearly, but he couldn't help feeling that something was wrong. That something was…missing.
He shook his head lightly to clear it, looking down at the sleeping boy beside him. He smiled fondly, brushing a few strands of Yugi's blonde bangs away from his face.
The boy stirred at the touch, blinking drowsily up at him. "Atem? Is something wrong?"
He chuckled lightly. Yugi could always tell…
"No, nothing's wrong. I'm sorry I woke you." He said softly. Yugi yawned a bit. "It's fine. You should try to get some sleep, Atem. We have Ryou's party tomorrow, remember?"
Atem nodded, smiling gently. "I know. Go back to sleep, aibou."
"Mmkay…" He murmured, curling up into the taller male's side and closing his eyes.
Atem sighed, following in suit.
He did manage to fall asleep eventually, his dreams haunted by glittering lavender eyes…
