The previous evening, knowing full well of today, he had put several extra sheets on the bed. Yuugi had woken early in the morning, a little before six. Padding to the door on tiptoes, holding his breath, as silently as possible he locked his door. Then just as silently he went back to his bed. Sitting on the edge he slipped from his pajamas, sliding his naked form into the bed. As he looked up at the ceiling, he touched the chain, slowly tracing it till it touched the puzzle. He closed his eyes, he appeared in his soul room.

When he appeared in his room, he was fully dressed in the usual blue pants, black shirt, several belts in several places, and the collar around his neck. Intentions high, he didn't spend a minute more in his room. Out in the hall, he knocked on Yami's door.

Yami opened his door appearing in the same attire as Yuugi. He stretched revealing muscles on such a slender, tender frame. "Yuugi?"

"I'm sorry I came so early." Yuugi took a deep breath, his face mingled with delight and concern. "Yami do you know what today is?"

Yami looked Yuugi's face his own now holding much to the same expression. "Time has no boundary on me, expect when I take control of your body." He paused thinking over Yuugi's question. Slowly, sadly, he shook his head.

Yuugi had a grin forming on his face, a twinkle in his eyes. He touched the chain around his neck. "Today, one year ago I solved the puzzle that brought us together." Yuugi paused leaning against the wall in the hall. "It granted my wish in allowing me to make friends, but it gave me something else…"

Yami had positioned himself in front of Yuugi. He cupped his hands under Yuugi's chin, lifting his head. Eye to eye he smiled. "It gave us both something else besides your wish." He leaned in, and kissed Yuugi softly. Barely brushing lips, Yuugi returned it.

Yuugi let out a long sigh his eyes never left Yami's. Yami a little confused over Yuugi's reaction straightened himself, and dropped his hands to his sides. "Destiny is cruel to us." Yuugi said it almost as if the breath had been knocked out of him. Tears formed on the rim of his eyes. "I would have helped you regardless if it had been your flesh, and not my own that we share." He took in a breath; it hurt him deep every time the thought came to mind. "We are so very close, yet, so very far apart." Yuugi's tears were slipping out of the rims and down his cheeks. "We touch as an illusion, not as a reality." He them slammed his hand into his chest, clutching the clothing where his heart was. "Yet, what I feel for you is reality, not an illusion."

Yami listened carefully, and made for a long silence as he thought carefully over what to say. "I know you would have helped me regardless of flesh of my own, or flesh shared. However, Destiny isn't cruel Yuugi. Destiny insured us, with use of the puzzle, that we would meet." He grinned. "It insured us that we couldn't be separated, that we are always together." He took Yuugi's hand that clutched his shirt. He pressed theirs together so they were palm to palm. "I Love You!"

Yuugi's tears had stopped the previous ones staining his cheeks. Feeling the warmth of Yami's palm on his own brought back his smile. "I Love You!" He then took his fingers and twinned him into Yami's.

Slowly he pulled their hand up to his cheek, and Yammi's backside of the hand brushed against his cheek. Yuugi's eyes closed softly. "Illusion or Reality, we know what we feel." He paused, breathing deep. "Today lets end the last of the innocence between us."

Yammi's face had formed a shocked, excited expression, glad Yuugi's eyes where closed. But, before he could say anything Yuugi had pulled him close. On tip toes, pressed his lips into Yammi's. Yuugi was breathing heavily as he was easily excited when he was this close to Yami. Yami closed his eyes, his face softening from the previous expression, and he gave into Yuugi's kiss as his eyes closed.

When their lips broke apart for the need of air between them, their eyes opened. Yami led Yuugi through his door, into his room with the hand that was still twinned together. Up several flights of stairs, and through many doors Yuugi always trusted Yami to lead them through safely. When at last in one of the deepest parts he opened a door revealing where Yami had lavished a bit.

The room itself was small, and made of stone with bare walls. It had inviting lights, and a warm feel. In the corner was a pile of velvet and silk cloth, along with a couple pillows of matching material.

Yami didn't let their fingers untwine as he sat himself down, pulling Yuugi into his lap.

Yami had led Yuugi hand in hand, side by side, and back down the same stairs, and through the same doors till at least they were again in the hall again. Yami pulled Yugi close to him. "I hate to let you go, but even if time doesn't pass inside my room, I know it passes in reality." He sighed.

Yuugi nuzzled his head under Yami's chin. "I'd stay forever if the needs of the body didn't summon me."

Yami chuckled. "You've got me any time partner." He then pulled Yuugi forward kissing him.

Yuugi returned the soft kiss, with a nod of the head, and then touched the puzzle.

Yuugi's eyes opened to a view of the ceiling. He looked over at the clock. 6 pm, 12 hours since he last looked. Wow, time flies, no wonder I'm aching. He thought to himself blushing a little. The sudden wet sticky feeling of the sheets against him made him feel uneasy. He never knew what his body did with itself while they were together in an intimate fashion in Yami's mind room. After today, the passion they shared, he really didn't want to know. Even if in a way he already did know. Slowly, he climbed out of the bed, and stripped the bed of its stained sheets placing them in the laundry chute. Sore and hungry, he headed for the shower.
