A soft light crept through closed windows and slowly began to illuminate the sleeping bodies of two boys. Though similar in appearance, the two couldn't be more different. The smaller one was a boy who radiated pure innocence and good will at every moment. He was Yugi Muto, the King of Games. Although he was shoved into the spotlight after winning Pegasus' Duel Monsters tournament two years back, he never let fame get to him for a second. He actually preferred the quiet life; he wished to keep things as normal as possible, which he soon realized was quite impossible. The boy just kept on winning. He sighed softly in his sleep as he leaned his small frame further back against the stomach of the older boy behind him. The other boy wrapped an arm possessively around his light, then did not move, his slow breathing mixing with that of Yugi's . The taller, darker one was actually once the spirit of a five thousand year old Pharaoh. However, when all was said and done, instead of returning to his own time, he chose to stay with the one he promised to forever protect, and in exchange, was granted his own body. Yami, as he was called, was a very quiet, determined individual. Quiet though he was, he could easily kick the crap out of anyone who tried to mess with Yugi or their friends. A certain indescribable gracefulness and confidence was always present in Yami. Always, except well, maybe for today.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

"AIBOU!!!"

Incredible large violet eyes snapped opened, and Yugi Muto quickly sat up in his bed, immediately turning his attention to the tan figure who had bolted upright next to him. His eyes were wide with worry as he hurriedly scanned his dark's face.

"What?"

The boy's darker half Yami froze and put his finger to his lips, signaling Yugi to listen.

"Yami-"

"Shhh…"

"No Yami-Ahh!" Yugi cried out as Yami tackled him back down to the bed and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Isjusalamclok…" Yugi tried to say though his words came out completely muffled. Yami raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

"I said, it's just the alarm clock!" the small boy said as he blew Yami's hand off of his mouth.

Yami clumsily jumped off of Yugi and off the bed and gazed around; his sharp crimson eyes darting in every direction.

"What's the matter?! What is it warning us of!?"

Yugi chuckled as he reached over to Yami's nightstand and shut the damn thing off. Yami's tense body immediately relaxed after the noise was removed, but he continued his deathly glare at the closed bedroom door.

"It just means that it's time for me to get up. I forgot I brought this in here last night. You know Grandpa almost caught us last time. He'd have a fit if he knew I've been coming in here to sleep with you at night. Remember what he said when we first starting dating?"

"Hmmm…" Yami furrowed his brows in thought. "Something along the lines of you hurt my grandson and your ass is out the door?"

Yugi couldn't suppress a laugh.

"Yes, well that too, but he told both of us that the only way you could stay here is if we respected the fact that he's living in the house too. Grandpa's very protective of me; he doesn't want to think that I'm, uhh…" A blush quickly spread throughout his cheeks and he suddenly became very interested in the ceiling. "Doing things with you…It would probably give him a heart attack…"

Yami turned around to look at his light and couldn't help but grin. He loved when Yugi got embarrassed, it was absolutely adorable. He returned to the bed and crept over Yugi, gently pulling his chin down so that their eyes met, gorgeous amethyst to fierce crimson, faces only inches apart.

"But we're not doing anything, and I would never ask you for your innocence until you were ready. You know that. I love you Yugi, you are my everything, and I never want to hurt or upset you in any way."

As Yami said that, a cloud of darkness passed over Yugi's eyes but it was so quick Yami didn't notice. The boy was relieved at the tears that had begun forming at the corners of his eyes, and the distraction it caused.

"Yugi?"

"I'm just happy." Yugi looked at him with a smile, which was partly true. He was happy. More than he'd ever been. They'd been through so much together over the years and he was so deeply in love with his partner. The two were definitely made for each other and yet, something continued to eat at Yugi every time he looked at him. Yugi threw it to the back of his mind, and focused his attention on the handsome Egyptian in front of him.

Yami wiped the tears away and Yugi gently pushed his face forward, closing the distance between him and his Yami. Kissing him was always so amazing. He swore that time always stood still and all of his problems and stresses melted away every time his lips connected with the other man. At that moment, he and Yami were the only two people in the world. They remained blissfully still until Yugi pulled back from the sweet kiss, and looked straight into Yami's eyes.

"I love you too," he said with a smile. "So much…"

They just laid there, gazing into each other's eyes for what seemed eternity, until the alarm clock went off again, and Yami's paranoia returned.

"Wait a minute…what's today?" Yugi said turning to Yami, worry etched on his delicate features once more.

"Tuesday, why?"

Yugi's eyes grew wide and he yelled "SHIT!" as he jumped off of the bed and ran to the door. Yami shot him a look, and Yugi quickly covered his mouth. "Sorry, it's just, I forgot! My math final's today! If I don't leave now I'm not gonna make it! AAAAH!" He ran from the room and Yami slapped his forehead. If Solomon wasn't aware of them sleeping together, he certainly was now, seeing as how Yugi's scream had come from a room that definitely wasn't his. Yami then proceeded over to the table and the clock and began to try and figure out how the hell Yugi managed to shut the thing up.

"You there, you…thing! I command you to shut up," he growled.

He shook it a couple of times, then started pushing a couple of the buttons on it, but was having no luck. Yugi walked in five minutes later in his school uniform and was glad he did; he was met with Yami's arm pulled back in preparation to chuck the clock out the now open window.

"YAMI!"

Yami turned to him and smiled sheepishly, then quickly put the clock down. Yugi ran over to it and shut it off before stepping up on his tip-toes to kiss Yami goodbye and run out the door.

"Love you!" he called as he ran down the stairs to the Game Shop.

"Yugi, wait, you forgot the puzzle!"

"No time! I'll get Tristan and Joey to walk me home today!"

"Well, good luck on your test!"

"Thanks!"

Yami chuckled as he heard a crash downstairs; Yugi had probably almost run over his poor grandpa in his effort to get out of the house.

After listening to confirm that Yugi's grandpa was still alive, Yami receded into his mind once more. He wasn't comfortable with Yugi not having the puzzle on; it was their only way of communication when they were separated. For some reason, Yugi now had to be the one wearing it in order to establish the mind link. Yami assumed it was due to the fact that he was no longer inhabiting the sixteen year old boys' body. He knew Joey and Tristan were capable of taking on most people that could possibly try to get at Yugi, but it still made him nervous. There were psychos in the past who had tried to kill the boy for the puzzle, and Yami was sure they hadn't seen the last of those. His thoughts were abruptly interrupted as a loud growl emitted from his stomach.

"Stop that." He said as he poked his stomach.

When the growl came back, he sighed and proceeded downstairs. He stepped into the kitchen and busily began to open the cabinets, picking up certain things and setting them down. Yugi's grandfather quickly came into the room, his eyes wide.

"What are you doing?"

"Making breakfast."

"Oh no, you're not."

"And why not?"

"Don't you remember what happened last time you tried that? Yugi almost broke all his teeth trying to eat your food."

"They were pancakes…"

"They were HARD, Yami. Pancakes aren't supposed to be hard," he said with a laugh. "Not to mention you almost burned this entire place down."

Yami frowned. It had almost been a full year since he'd had his body and he still couldn't get used to it and all the modern technologies of this age. It didn't help either that he had decided against attending school in order to spend more time learning of any evil that could cross their path.

"Now, now, you'll learn. Hey, look on the bright side; you're a heck of a lot better off than you were last year! Hahaha, remember? You spent about six hours straight trying to figure out how the toilet worked when you got your body last May."

Yami blushed and slowly sank into a seat at the table. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. That's right, this coming Friday he would have had his body for a whole year. One whole glorious year with his little light. Something he at one time wasn't sure he even had the privilege to dream of. He belonged by his side. With Yugi, not only did he know of his past, but he also knew of his future. With Yugi, he had an identity.

"Hey Solomon, this Friday will be Yugi and I's, uhh, annieveresarrie…."

"Anniversary, right, go on."

"Yes, well, what am I supposed to do?"

"Anniversary's are days that you celebrate your love. And that can be done in a number of ways. Make Yugi feel special. Yami, that boy is going to love you no matter what you do. Oh, but don't you dare think about proposing to him just yet. You boys are much too young to even think about getting married."

Yami nodded and sat contently as Solomon began working on some eggs.


Yugi's foot was tapping against the ground as he moved on to the last question of the exam. The classroom was mostly empty; there were only three students still taking the exam, including Yugi. Yugi was a very precise test-taker; he always felt he had to check and double check things. It always took him a long time to complete exams. He cocked his head to the side as he tried to remember the process of solving the present equation, and saw out of the corner of his eye two figures standing outside the door. He grinned to himself as he turned to look at them through the window on the door; it was obviously Tristan and Joey. Both of them were walking back and forth and throwing funny faces at the teacher, who was reading a book. Yugi snorted as Joey went crosseyed and Tristan pushed his friend's face to the window.

'He looks like some kind of deformed pig!' Yugi thought to himself as he quietly giggled.

"Is there a problem, Mr. Muto?"

Yugi snapped his head over to the teacher, as Joey and Tristan immediately ducked out of view.

"Umm, no sir. I was just…thinking…"

"Hmm." The teacher snorted as he returned to his book, and Tristan and Joey reappeared at the window. Yugi held up his hand, signaling them to give him about five more minutes. Joey gave him a thumbs up and the blonde and brunette stepped away from the window as Yugi returned to the problem at hand. Darn math.


Yami cursed loudly. He had settled on the couch and turned the television on, only to find that he had missed Oprah. He didn't know why the hell he had become so addicted to that show. That one woman just had so much inner strength; it reminded him a lot of his former days as the Pharaoh. When Yugi found out about Yami's little addiction, all he could do was giggle for weeks. The poor boy was sent into stitches every time Yami yelled "HOLY SHIT!" as he heard the show come on and run wildly into the living room.

Angrily, Yami began cycling through channels on the TV, in the hopes that he could find something else to keep his attention. He found it.

A local news anchor had cut away to some breaking news he'd just received about a warehouse fire that had broken out. Yami immediately was brought back to a time he didn't like to remember, but most certainly did. Marik had control of Bandit Keith and was using him to duel Yugi. Then the fire started and his light refused to leave without the puzzle. Yet another incident where Yugi could have been killed on his behalf…If it hadn't been for his friends, Yugi never would have made it…

His eyes regained focus on the TV screen as a shot of a curious onlookers passed the screen. Yami scanned the faces, then found one that he definitely recognized. It was Ryou. The poor boy who had been cursed with such a horrible Yami. Well, on the bright side, he was finally rid of him, thanks to Yami successfully locking him in the Shadow Realm. But why was he there? Suspicious…Woah, wait a minute…was that…

"Now that's funny. I thought Yugi said Ryou had gotten rid of the Millennium Ring." He said quietly.

This brought up a whole new set of questions he wanted answers to. Why on earth would Ryou keep that thing? It symbolized everything he was once so desperate to get away from! What if Bakura somehow managed to escape his confinement and had returned his spirit to the ring? It was very slim, but Yami was never one to take a chance with odds. He would be paying Ryou a visit tomorrow, since Yugi would be home soon and he didn't want to worry him. Yes, tomorrow morning, while Yugi was at school. He shut the television off and proceeded upstairs, off to ponder about the day ahead.


Hello Diary,

Well, today was alright. I took my math final, and I think it went pretty well. Haha, let's hope! Tristan and Joey managed to weasel their way out of another detention after Mr. Risen caught them making faces at him… Tristan made up a story about how Joey had some kind of incurable mental disease and those faces he was making were out of desperation to get Joey away from the window. Joey totally played the part too. I can't believe he actually bought it! Haha, I have the best friends in the whole world! Oh, I think Tea's thinking about trying out for the dance team next year. My only question is why hasn't she before? She really is an amazing dancer! In other news, Yami seems really upset tonight. He says he missed Oprah, but I'm thinking that's not the only thing wrong. I hope it's nothing serious.

-Until tomorrow,

Yugi Muto
