A/N: My half of an art-trade with ChocolaPeanut; she wanted IshizuxAtem. I hope this is alright, has a bit of both modern and ancient. Enjoy~

"Are you sure this is necessary, Ishizu? I mean it seems rather strange, don't you think?" The Pharaoh raised a brow as he fumbled with a crown with the eye of Horus in the center to stay atop his spiky locks. Soft laughter fluttered against the bare skin on the back of his neck, which caused a shiver to snake down his spine. It didn't help quell the strange feeling in the bottom of his belly as a pair of soft hands lay themselves atop his shoulders.

"Not at all, you look as you did so long ago…my pharaoh." The older woman purred softly as she rested her chin atop his shoulder as the two gazed at their forms in the fully body mirror. Atem dressed as a true king of Egypt would in his time while Ishizu was in attire fitted for the same era. Hers on the other hand resembled more of the goddess Isis.

'Oh the irony of it all.' The young man thought as a memory drifted past him faintly and quickly like rain in the hot desert. It was of how Ishizu enabled him to gain his own body and live his own true life while being able to still be with his aibou. His violet orbs slid over to the woman beside whom he had noted had spent quite a bit of time with him since then…more than usual.

Letting out an awkward cough, Atem pulled himself away from her touch (begrudgingly he might add) and moved towards the bed in the middle of the room. He sighed softly as he heard soft steps follow him. "Ishizu, why?" He said this quietly as he turned around to face the woman, wishing to know the truth.

Atem's eyes widened in shock while his body slacked in pleasure as Ishizu pressed her soft lips against his with her hands gently taking hold of his shoulders. For a minute straight, the two were alone in the other's touch before Ishizu pulled away.

She laughed lightly at seeing her pharaoh keep his eyes closed with his lips pursed out. Ishizu felt her heart grow with warmth as he finally realized what occurred before his cheeks darkened though his eyes narrowed in frustration. "Why did you stop?"

"Does my pharaoh wish for me to continue~?" Atem felt his face grow warmer at the girl's teasing as he realized this had been her intent all along.

Unlike a certain sapphire eyed man who would have become angry, Atem simply smiled as he crossed his arms and poised himself like a true king. "I may wish it, but only you may grant it, my lotus flower."

Atem smirked at the girl staring at him in surprise, and he took this as an opportunity to take a step forward and place a chaste kiss on the tomb keeper's lips. Lacing his arms around her supple waist, the man led the girl to the bed before sitting on the edge with her in his lap. Pulling away, Atem whispered the girl's name softly. "Ishizu?"

"Yes, my pharaoh?"

Sighing, violet met aquamarine. "I do not want us to do an act based on passion and feel remorse later on. I am willing to wait until you are—"His words were cut short as Isis placed a slender finger was against his lips as a soft smile graced hers. "If I felt nothing, I wouldn't be here."

Atem's eyes widened but he nodded simply. Pushing her hand away, Atem pressed his forehead against hers. "I feel content with you, Ishizu…thank you."

The woman smiled before placing a butterfly kiss to his lips before relaxing in his hold while the man pulled her into a warm embrace.

A/N: This pairing needs more love, honestly. They're so good together~ Oh and the idea of Atem getting his own body is based on the idea that my friend Lemmie (a.k.a The Token on ) did with one of her stories; so that piece is all thanks to her. : ) Title is based on the song A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. Fits, don't it~
