"You're sure you're all right?" Atem asked, clearly concerned. He brushed a few strands of hair away from Yugi's face.
"I'm fine, I promise. You don't have to worry." Yugi replied softly. "It was different than I thought it would be...more gentle and loving than what it looks like when people do...things on tv. But then you don't really see much."
"There is a difference. What you and I shared was more about showing our love than just a physical act." Atem explained, Yugi kissed him softly.
"It was beautiful." The teen said resting in Atem's arms.
"You are beautiful,Yugi. You are the most precious gift I've been given. Truly the gods have blessed me with such a kind, loving and devoted partner."
"I'm glad I get to be with you. When I thought I'd never see you again,it shattered my heart. I've never loved anyone like this before. Thank you for coming back to me. I promise I'll spend the rest of my life making sure you don't regret it and making you happy. I'll make your birthday special."
" you make every day special. I know I haven't been myself at times,but I want you to know that I do love you and if there was ever a moment that I made you feel any other way -"
"I didn't. I know it's painful to be separated from your loved ones. But I hope you know that it's okay if you need me sometimes.I lean on you a lot, but it works both ways. You're just as important to me as I am to you." They sighed in unison. Yugi raised his head,looking to the clock.
"Grandpa should be back soon, we should get ready to go down and I'll start dinner. Is there anything special you want?" Yugi asked.
"Anything you decide to make will be fine." Yugi kissed Atem before forcing himself to get up and prepare himself to make dinner.
"I'll see you down in the kitchen, Love." Yugi called, deciding to take a quick shower. Atem remained in bed a few minutes more. He hadn't expected to fall in love with Yugi in the beginning but all that soon changed, putting into motion events that would test their bond and strengthen it leading them to where they were now. Atem knew in his heart that he had made the right decision. He belonged to Yugi, their hearts forever joined together.
A short time later, Atem made his way to the kitchen where Yugi was busy setting the table. The former Pharaoh joined him, wrapping his arms around Yugi from behind. Yugi paused, feeling Atem rest his head on his shoulder.
"What can I do to help?" Atem asked, hugging him.
"If you want to, you can get the glasses from the cupboard. I hope you don't mind me picking something quick for tonight. I don't really have time to-"
"It's all right. You were busy." Yugi turned to face him, blushing slightly.
"Yeah...but that was my fault. I mean I was the one that-"
"You can't blame yourself entirely." Yugi rested his head on Atem's chest. The pair stood there silently, enjoying the moment until they heard the door open and Solomon's voice called out to them. Atem released him.
"I'll get those glasses." He said moving to the cupboard.
"Y-yeah, I'll...finish dinner."
"What have you boys been up to this afternoon?"
"Nothing." The teens answered in unison. Solomon shot them a skeptical look but decided to drop the issue. Instead the older man grabbed his newspaper and walked to the living room shaking his head.
