Come to me

Come to me, while I'm sleeping

Atemu lay in bed, calmly sleeping. The curtains were drawn but it wasn't dark. A blue hue covered the room, since the rising of the sun was on the other side of the house. Atemu was a normal Japanese teen, Egyptian features added. A tan leg was raised and the cover had fallen off. He breathed in.

The dream was so calm. It was an alabaster room, if you could call it a room. Pillars lifted the ceiling high above and he sat on a stair leading down to the water. In-between the pillars were white, light pink half-transparent curtains that swayed in a breeze. You couldn't see beyond them but you knew there was a river just outside, and further away an open vast. Just beyond the room was only a mist hued world.

The water reflected white lights and gave the whole room a blue hue. Atemu contently sat leaned and lazily watched the water ripple.

And their wagging tongues, will not find you my love

Suddenly a bluer and brighter light erupted and he looked up. Just above the water surface a boy came walking, towards him. He smiled calmly at Atemu who wasn't surprised at all. The boy wore thin blue garment that swayed in a non existing wind. He shone and his eyes were pure amethyst.

All the while, they dull

Just a metre from Atemu he stopped and they looked at each other.

Our lighter souls fuse, fly and dive my love

"Yami" A voice, cool and soft spoke as the boy reached out his hands. Atemu slowly leaned forward stretching out his arms as well, mesmerized by the being of light.

"Atemu!" Atemu startled awake and sat up, confusedly looking around.

"What?"

"Common, get up or ya gonna be late." A blond teen leaned in his room. It was Jou, his friend that had stayed over. He nodded, still confused and Jou went to brush his teeth.

Atemu lay back suddenly dizzy from the quick rising.

He looked up in the ceiling. That dream had been so peaceful. It could have been a war outside and Atemu still would be totally at peace. Serenity, perfection. He still felt it. And that boy.

Atemu lightly raised his brows. Had it been a dream of his longing for someone? But in that case, why hadn't it been a wet dream? He grumbled a little. Was his mind toying with him, or had he been stressful as of lately?

He turned and looked through the window.

A new day. The semester had just started, still it felt like it had never ended. 'Damn, I'm getting school as a routine.' He got up to put his clothes on.

'But still... Yami, what does that mean? Darkness, I know but what did he mean? And why am I still thinking of it?' He put on his socks faster and went for breakfast.

Come to me in my dreaming

---

He thought of nothing as he gazed out the classroom window. The dream's calm mood still affected him. Jou had wondered if he was sick when he hadn't been his normal competitive and self-secure self at breakfast.

The classroom was in a little more turmoil than usual. He half-heartedly listened to a couple of girls near by.

"That guy is so cute! I had the same class as him this morning and he's just kawaii!" She fiercely shook her head to prove her point. The other girls smiled big-eyed.

"He'll be going in this class too." She said and they all gasped.

"Finally some new material." Another said relieved and dreamingly.

Yami didn't listen anymore. They used to like him too, and still did, but when they found out he was gay they figured disappointedly that he was unreachable. They were right.

Still, Atemu was happy they respected him and were his friends. Even the other guys were cool with his preference.

The door opened and everyone got to their places to greet the teacher.

Atemu didn't look as he still watched the outside world.

"As some of you already know, you will have a new student in this class." The teacher announced. "Yugi Muto."

Atemu glanced at the boy beside the teacher and froze.

It was the boy from his dream. He stared at him but turned away when their eyes met.

"You can sit behind Yohiko." The teacher pointed out the seat. Yugi walked down, past Atemu and sat down. For a while he had everyone's curious gazes at him before the teacher called for attention.

Atemu looked forward. He had watched Yugi when he had passed him, not wanting to meet the boy's gaze. He didn't know why. Anyway, there was no normal way for him to look at the boy as he sat diagonally behind him. It would seem odd of him to turn around and stare. He never interested himself like that, and in worst case the girls would assume something. They were good at that. Atemu mildly wondered if they wanted a boy to boy relationship.

Maybe it was because Yugi reminded him of that dream but the classroom seemed more blue and calm. He noticed it after a while when he was entering a relaxed mood; it had sneaked up on him. Not that it minded him, he liked it. The class sat silently doing assignments.

Could he have seen the boy earlier? Somewhere else he didn't remember? Maybe. Atemu would ask him later, when he got an opportunity.

---

The bell had rung and everyone had been quick to get going. Many had gathered round the new student, wanting to know him. Atemu decided to wait. it would seem strange if he just came in and asked if he had been there before. Besides, he didn't like the commotion.

He made his way to his locker. The rows of them stood in a secluded room with tall narrow windows.

He put his books in and got the others as the locker beside him opened. He glanced down and was surprised to see Yugi. The sudden impact made him lose focus for a second but he recoiled himself.

"Yugi, huh?" He asked, light on his tone. The boy looked up at him and then smiled.

"Yeah. You?"

"Atemu."

"Nice to meet you Atemu." Yugi said and dove into his locker.

"Same. So, Yugi, have you been here long?"

Yugi got back with two books in hand.

"Nope, got here yesterday. Why?" He closed his locker and turned to Atemu, the amethyst eyes gentle.

"Just curious." Atemu shrugged and closed his locker. "I wondered if you knew the place."

Yugi shook his head.

"No, it's all new to me." He looked at his schedule. "Could you tell me where English class is?"

Atemu smiled. "I can follow you there, I'm heading there myself. Yugi looked up at him and grinned.

"Thanks."

Atemu led him down a corridor that was darker since the lights were off and the windows were in the ends. Somehow this also held a blue aura and when he thought about it, so had the lockers' room. He stopped and looked around.

Yugi also stopped and looked at him curiously.

"What is it Atemu?" Atemu looked around feeling big-eyed.

"Nothing." He said absentmindedly and continued walking. Yugi followed him quietly.

Why was everything hued in blue and calm?

---

They had seats beside each other and found it easy to talk.

"So where are you from?" Atemu asked.

"From Domino, you know on the other side of town. But I lived in Caribbean for a few years." He drew some lines on his book.

"That's cool. How come you went there?" Atemu asked interested.

Yugi fiddled a little with his pen. "You know, to get experience and that stuff. I was in training too, little special lessons. It was great fun, but I'm glad to be back."

Atemu tilted his head so he could see Yugi's bowed face. Yugi looked at him surprised and smiled when Atemu did so. Their moment was interrupted by the ever-moment-breaking teacher that walked in the room.

---

The pupils left the school, some quick and some slower, due to tiredness.

Atemu was packing his bag with homework, the cursed invention.

Yugi also came and got his things.

"So, good bye Yugi." Atemu said as he hung the back pack on his shoulder. "See ya tomorrow then."

"Yeah, see ya tomorrow." Yugi said with a smile.

When he was out Atemu thought of his voice. 'I don't remember the boy's voice in the dream.' He thought as he frowned. 'But it couldn't be the same. I still know it was inhuman and lovely.' He shook his head. 'I can't get like this over someone that doesn't exist.'

He came home, ate supper, did homework and went to bed. The covers were too warm and he twisted in the dark room, trying to sleep. He sighed frustrated and kicked down the cover. Why was it so warm?

It was silent through the house. He lay on his back hands outstretched above his head and legs spread. Restless. The clock turned 00.24 and its red light was putting him off. He turned it to face the wall.

After a while the sleep claimed him, as it always did when you not try to sleep.

It wasn't a room this time but a shore. And sure it was blue. The sky above him was light blue in a summer's day and the ocean rolled in on the sandy shore with its white and blue waves. Atemu looked out the sea seeing nothing. A light breeze blew.

Something moved in the corner of his eyes and he looked to his right.

There was the boy that reminded so much about Yugi.

He came walking slowly, closer and closer, stopping a few metres away. The happy smile was there and a melody in the air. Atemu turned fully at him coaxed by all the impressions. He walked forward and smiled, wanting to hold the other. Just a few inches away the boy's face suddenly turned anxious and he pulled away. Atemu watched as he faded from the world.

The alarm rung and he sat up. A feeling of disappointment claimed him.

---

He felt more tired than usual that morning. When he sat at his desk he just hummed to Yugi when he arrived. It was his third lesson and their first together that day.

"How are you?" Yugi tilted his head.

Atemu stretched over the desk and leaned on it. "Ok, just tired. I had a disturbing dream." Yugi nodded and leaned back.

"Yeah, know the feeling. I had a wonderful dream, but suddenly my grandpa storms in and give me the wake up call of my life." He thought for a moment. "Or the week."

Atemu smiled lazily and glanced at him.

"Sounds nice. What was the dream about?"

"Oh, just a nice place. A shore. It was a really happy dream, I remember someone there but I don't know who." He said thoughtfully.

Atemu hummed then opened his eyes. 'Huh?'

"Hey, do you want to come over? We could do homework and I have a few new games, if you'd like."

Atemu watched him for a moment. "Sure."

Yugi had no time to ask what the matter was, for the teacher entered the room, tactful as always.

---

Yugi laughed as he and Atemu was nearing Yugi's home. It was a game shop in the front, which Atemu thought was really cool. Yugi just shrugged and said it was a good source of games.

As they entered a bell rang. An old man behind a counter looked up.

"I'm home." Yugi said.

"Ah, Yugi, welcome home." he turned his gaze at Atemu and eyed him. "So this must be Atemu, right?"

Yugi nodded and suddenly seemed a little tense. "Yeah."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Muto." Atemu greeted politely. The old man seemed nice but still there was a kind of aura, old and wise around him. It demanded some kind of respect, though a silent one.

"Ho ho, no need for those formalities. Just call me grandpa." The man chuckled. Atemu smiled but was pushed forward by Yugi.

"Oh Yugi, try not to be too... wild" His grandpa said slyly with a gleam in his eyes as they exited the shop to the living area.

Yugi groaned as Atemu raised a brow.

"What did he mean?"

Yugi looked away and smiled embarrassedly, though trying to pout. "Nothing, he's an old confused man."

"I heard that!" A voice called.

The two sweat dropped.

"So, let's get to my room." Yugi said and lead Atemu up the stairs.

Yugi's room was cosy with blue walls and a red soft carpet. Shelves stood against a wall, full of games and books. A desk was in front of the roof window and a bed in the corner opposite of the door.

As they were inside Yugi closed the door and sighed. Atemu smirked at the relieved teen.

"What? Don't you have embarrassing parents?" Yugi said accusingly.

"Indeed I do." Atemu chuckled.

Yugi shook his head and went to sit on the bed.

"I have this new game here if you want to try it. Homework is for later... if we have time." Atemu smiled and joined him.

To only have known each other for two days they really got along. Some people were just meant for each other.

"Yugi, Atemu, dinner!" Grandpa called from downstairs. They were just in a challenge period and looked up. "Eat here?" Yugi asked. Atemu accepted and they went downstairs.

Soup with bread was on the menu. As they ate Yugi's grandpa decided to comment a few things.

"It sure is calm up there. What are you doing?" Yugi rolled his eyes and looked away. "Research for history." He said and took a spoon.

His grandpa huffed. "Well there are lots of other things to do alone in a room." Atemu raised a brow and glanced at Yugi. He just rolled his eyes.

"Well, there are a lot of things that are necessary to be done. Like homework." He grumbled.

"Aah, I know you teens, you always make time for that somehow." grandpa shoved away Yugi's explanation. He looked at Atemu.

"Have you lived here your entire life?" He asked interested.

"No, I lived in Egypt the first seven years. I moved here when I started school. Better education."

"Good, good." Sugoroku approved. "Egypt is a land of magic, that's good." He pointed his chopsticks at Atemu and looked at Yugi. "There you see a fine man. From the right place, smart and good looking."

Atemu looked at Yugi, surprise rising. Yugi looked down in his bowl, his bangs covering his face. "Grandpa." He said a little whiny.

"Ho ho, I'm finished. Enjoy your meal." Grandpa hurriedly got up and exited the dining area. There was a big silence.

Still, Atemu didn't feel the anger in the air that he thought would have been there.

Yugi sighed. "Stupid grandpa." He muttered. "Always pulling off a show like this." He said a little louder, trying to change the subject.

"Yugi." He froze at Atemu's tone. He knew the curious, somewhat worried and serious tone. Damn.

"What was he meaning? Are you... gay?"

Yugi was silent and turned away even more. "...yes." Came the unwillingly reply. Atemu sat there looking at him. Had his heart just skipped a beat?

"And do you think it is wrong to be?" He continued.

Yugi sighed and turned to look down his soup bowl. "No, but it's just... well you know. Many don't approve with it."

"Have you ever had problems?"

"Sometimes yes. Sometimes I've met nice people too. But mostly I don't tell."

"I'm gay."

Yugi looked up at him. "Huh?"

"I'm gay too." Atemu repeated looking straight into Yugi's eyes, seriously. Yugi looked back and didn't know what to say. A little tensed he looked down.

"So... did you have any problem?"

"A little, there are always those who think they are better and think that they can decide if it's wrong to be gay. But my parents accept me, so did my friends."

Yugi took it in and thought that Atemu had a happy life. He did too, but he had also had his twists.

"That's really good to hear." He said.

Atemu watched the teen across the table stirring his soup with his spoon, a little tensely.

"So, your grandpa hopes for the best?" A question and a statement.

Yugi snorted amusedly and embarrassedly. "Yeah, he wants to lighten the mood and for me to find someone." He rolled his eyes. "Sometimes I don't think he knows he's doing the exact opposite." Atemu chuckled.

"Parents tend to be that way."

Yugi looked up at him.

"You want to stay longer?" It was a somewhat unsure question.

"Of course I do. I have to beat you at that game." They smiled and un-made the table, then went upstairs.

---

It was already eleven when Atemu went home. He smiled at the city. Why was there a warm almost fuzzy feeling inside of him? He wanted to smile even more and to just freak off. But mostly he wanted to hug Yugi.

'Hug... am I really starting to like him? Why not want to take him right away?' Atemu's smile dropped a little. He knew he didn't want that.

'I'll wait and see.' He decided.

---

Come to me, while I'm sleeping...

There was no room, just a place. A blue mist-clouded place, shielded from the world. Atemu looked around, feeling more at ease than ever before. Happiness was strong, making him content.

A figure appeared from the mist, blue and light.

'Yugi...'

Yugi smiled and came closer, floating in the void. He outstretched his arms and Atemu embraced him, breathing in the scent of light and clear, a summer's day with no scent at all. Just the knowledge that it was summer.

The hug was longed for and they tightened it, not wanting to let go. It felt so, so good to be there.

Atemu nuzzled Yugi's neck, slowed down and kissed it. Yugi moaned faintly and tilted his head to give more room. Atemu slowly kissed up the neck to the cheek. Before he claimed the lips he looked at Yugi. Yugi's eyes were dazed and contented, bluer than normal.

Atemu slowly leaned forward and Yugi followed, but just before they met, his eyes widened in realization and he pulled away. Atemu stared at him, a lithe frown marring him. What was the problem?

'Yugi?'

They still were in each others arms, but Yugi looked in his eyes and pulled away. Atemu stood there looking at him. A blue furry tail swayed behind him and ears like wings and actual small wings from his back shone faintly. His hands also were blue and white, furred, like perfectly fit gloves.

Atemu took it all in without doubting it. Suddenly Yugi started to vanish, became transparent and disappeared.

Atemu opened his eyes. It was dark, just the small buzzing from an electrical object was heard. Another dream. He turned on his side and curled up. It had started so good, but the last part was... not how you wanted to feel in the lone night, or ever.

'Yugi.' He thought. 'Have I really gotten to like him so much? It was so real and loving. The feelings, I can still sense them.'

He sighed. There clearly was something off with all of this. The dreams weren't ordinary dreams, they couldn't be.

A brief thought of magic floated by, as thoughts often did when it was night. What else could it be? That tarot thing? Fate or psychic? No, that didn't feel right, besides it was much more boring.

'Magic...' He thought as sleep claimed him once again.

---

The next day at school was just normal. Atemu had his lessons. Lunch and a lesson before he got in the same class as Yugi. He hadn't seen him today. Maybe he was sick.

He walked directly from chemistry to history. In the crowded corridor he could make out Yugi, and Yugi saw him too. Much people went by, but Atemu didn't see that everlasting smile that he always received. He frowned a little.

They met at the door.

"Hi Yugi."

"Hi, Atemu." Yugi smiled weakly, though not trying to show it. They went silently to their seats. Was Yugi a little down?

"Are you ok?" Atemu asked.

"Yeah, I am." Yugi answered slowly. "Just tired."

Atemu leaned back in his chair and studied Yugi. That wasn't it, that much he could tell.

"Has somebody said something to you about your preference?"

Yugi hastily looked up at him. "No, why do you think that?"

"You seem a little downcast." Atemu stated. "You know you can talk to me."

Yugi smiled and nodded. "Yeah, thanks." He looked forward, even before the teacher had even arrived.

Atemu couldn't help but feel like there was something Yugi didn't want to tell him. He dropped it as the teacher came in.

It sneaked back.

This was their last lesson. He wondered if he should try again then, but figured maybe it was something private that needed time of its own.

But he wouldn't stop being a friend.

"So, are you doing something now?" He asked as they went to their lockers. Yugi didn't answer immediately.

"No, I guess not." Atemu tilted his head.

"That sounded forced."

Yugi sighed. "I'm sorry, it's just... I don't know. I guess my excuse is quite lame."
"And what's that?"

"Last night I had a really good dream, but... it kinda changed. You know how dreams do?"

"Mhm."

"And I guess it put me off really bad. It must sound weird, knowing it was just a dream." He excused himself.

Atemu looked seriously at him.

"Not at all. I myself had a good dream that turned, well, for the sadder."

Yugi perked up. "Oh really, what was it about?"

Atemu smiled. "Well, it was in a very calm place, you could almost hear the music. And then someone came." He continued smiling.

Yugi had tensed a bit. "Really. Who?" He licked his lips, feeling shaky.

"Hm, now that'll be my secret." He blinked at Yugi. Yugi just stared at him and then opened his locker.

"The dream was in the same mood as I've been in the last few days." Atemu continued. He didn't know why, maybe he was testing a completely crazy idea.

"And how's that?"

"Calm." Yugi dug around in his locker.

"Everything is calm, and so am I. And everything seems to be hued in blue."

The flipping with paper ceased as Yugi looked at him. "Blue?"

"Yeah. Really nice. I feel kinda goofy when I want to smile for nothing. It's like being high all the time."

Yugi turned back to his locker, nervously shuffling papers.

"That's nice."

"Mhm, I think so."

Yugi slowly turned to him.

"Look Atemu, I don't think we can hang out today, I..." He took a breath. "I still am wary off that dream and I just want some time for myself. You know?"

Atemu studied him. "Yeah, I know." He nodded.

"Good." Yugi closed his locker. "Well, bye then, see ya on Monday." He walked away. Atemu looked after him.

"Yeah, see ya."

---

The evening was uneventful. With no good movies all Atemu could do was muse over Yugi's behaviour. Not that it was very strange, but still. Besides, Atemu liked to think about the amethyst eyed boy. He smiled. Yeah, he liked to plot and imagine there was something going on. Not too severe, just something he himself could come in and clear up.

It was a little embarrassing to admit it to himself. He turned on his stomach and put his chin on his pillow, hands under it.

He sighed.

'What to do? Is it enough to make a move? Some relationships build up with time.' He didn't even know if he debated it for real. Something you just thought about anyway, for fun.

'But Yugi is so sweet. He's cute and he can really be hot. I like his personality and the way he acts. ...what else is there really to like about a person?'

He shook his head amusedly by the rhetorical question. There really wasn't much more. Maybe later, when they would know each other better.

'Wonder how he's doing...'

---

Though his innocent features Yugi had a real scowl, and it was rather intimidating. But not to the one it was directed towards.

"Ji-chan, I am the one who should chose who I want to be with. It's my life!"

His grandpa didn't look up from the paper he was reading. "Yugi, I'm not going through this with you again. You have to find a soul mate soon, or else you'll lose some of your power." He looked up. "Some of your important power."

Yugi glared at him.

"But there still is time. I can make it, you don't have to control my life like this!"

"I'm sorry, Yugi." He straightened and put away the papers. "But it seems like you don't take this seriously enough. And that's why I have found someone for you."

Yugi was a bit taken aback.

"Who?" A thought of Atemu flashed by, but he shook it away.

"She is really pretty; she comes from Italy and has some powers herself. She was really hard to find."

Yugi gaped.

"But I'm gay!"

"Yugi, you are a man, I hope, and your job is to keep the family line, have an offspring and a happy life. You will not say against me in this."

Yugi glared at his grandpa, tears rising, but he held them back.

Sugoroku softened.

"Oh Yugi. I know this is hard for you. I would not want this but now it's set."

"If I find someone, can you change it?"

Sugoroku blinked. "Yes. Yugi have you found someone? ...that Atemu?"

Yugi looked away. He didn't know.

"I... no, I haven't." He surrendered.

Sugoroku took the file with papers. "Well then, this is on." He walked past Yugi. When he was at the door he turned around. "There is a picture of her on the table, along with some information." He said quietly. Then he left.

Yugi stood there in the kitchen silently. He didn't know what to think. He was gay, he couldn't just start liking a girl on order. He glanced at the table. A picture reflected the lamp above. Slowly he went up to it and took it.

A brunette smiled at him a little shyly but very sweetly. He smiled a bit. She really was pretty. But not enough. He read through the paper where information about her date of birth, school and likings were written.

Slowly putting the paper down he looked up. She seemed really nice. Favourite colour pink, dancing and interested in art and sociology.

An image of Atemu flashed by again. Why was he thinking of Atemu? He looked down at the girl. She seemed like the right type for Atemu, if he would be straight.

'But he isn't.' Yugi thought. 'What would he think of me? What does he think of me? Would he accept me for what I am?' Yugi walked up the stairs. "He isn't magical, but he is apprehensive and...' Yugi closed the door to his room behind him.

It was light and slightly blue. Yugi walked over to the desk and leaned on it to look out the window.

'He's the one that receives me... The one who's affected by me. Has he really had that dream? In that case... he's the right for me. But how will I tell him? How can I make him love me? ...or even like me the slightest in that way?'

Ok. I don't know what this is, I just felt like writing it. You are totally free to comment me on grammar, spelling and plot holes. …maybe I can save the second chapter
