A/N I realise ive been gone a long time, life happens. I'll try to be more speedy with updates.
Yugi woke the next morning to the insisting ringing of his cell phone. Groaning he reaches over to answer it, "Hullo?"
"Yugi! Ive been trying to call you for days!"
Yugi winces at the loud voice, "Malik its too early to be yelling...and I was busy with somthing important."
"You didnt tell me or Ryou anything! We were starting to worry Yugi" The sandy blond definately sounds annoyed.
With a sigh Yugi sits up, "Im sorry Malik I have a good reason honestly, and I was going to call you today anyway. I want you to pick up Ryou and come over later theres someone I want you to meet."
His voice immidiately changes to a more teasing tone, "You got a boyfriend and didnt tell us or somthing hm?"
"S-somthing like that...just come over in an hour okay?" He hangs up on Malik's laughter only to have his phone ring a minute later. "Malik seriously! I just told you that-"
"Who's Malik little one?" Yugi cut off at the sound of his voice. "Little one? Are you there?"
Snapping out of it he starts stuttering an answer, "S-sorry Atem...Malik is one of my fr-friends that you'll meet today."
A small deep chuckle sounds from the other end, "Alright little one when should we be there?"
"U-um in about an hour I'll see you then?" His face flushes from the sound of Atem's chuckle.
"We'll be there little one, good bye" Yugi hangs up the phone his face still lit up by a blush. He quickly starts to dress for the visit.
A knock sounds on the door half an hour early. Knowing just who it will be Yugi warily opens the door and is attacked by a boy with snow white hair. "Yugi!"
"R-Ryou Im fine..." Yugi tries to sound annoyed but can't as he hugs his friend back.
"Well you don't talk to us for about 3 days..." The white haired boy pulls back from his hug. "And who's this boyfriend Malik says you found and why haven't we met him yet?"
"Malik! I told you it isnt exacly like that!" Yugi pouts sending a smal glare at the sandy blond standing behind Ryou.
He merely gives Yugi a big grin back, "Well what are we supposed to think? And you said it isn't exacly like that which means its definately that!"
The other two look at the third blankly, "Your logic never ceases to amaze us."
The trio burst into laughter as they make their way into the living room. Malik happily takes a seat on the couch, "Now then why havn't you been talking to us?"
Yugi's face immidiately flushes, "W-well um...I-Id rather wait until he got here so u-um..."
"Ah-ha! It is a guy!" Malik's grin is huge.
"You could have told us Yugi we don't mind if you're dating someone." Ryou has a small smile.
"Ah you aren't getting the point! I'll just...just wait until he gets here with his friends then we'll explain..."
The duo on the couch merely grin at him when the bell rings. "You two better be nice to him!" Yugi hurries over to the door, takes a deep breath, and opens it. Hes suprised by what he sees. On either side of Atem are an almost exact copy of Malik and Ryou but they look rougher and their hair is more wild looking.
"Hello little one " Atem pulls Yugi into a warm one armed hug then pulls back leaving his arm around Yugi's shoulders. "This is Marik and Bakura" He nods to either boy.
"He's really scrawny Atem" the one called Bakura smirks.
"Didnt know you liked them that small Hmmm?" Marik joins Bakura in the teasing.
"Oh shut up both of you" he hits both of them over the head before replacing his arm around Yugi. "Im apoligising for them Yugi."
"I-its alright...my friends are in here." Abit shyly he leads Atem into the living room with a grumbling Marik and Bakura behind them. "Ryou, Malik, this is Atem my...my fiance, and his friends Bakura and Marik."
Yugi saw his friends mouths drop when they saw their look alike but their jaws hit the floor when he said 'fiance'.
"Since...Since when?" Ryou was the first to recover.
Blushing Yugi looks to the floor, "It...it was decided when I was born... its an arranged marraige. " Glancing up for a moment he could see his friends were about to protest Ryou with words and Malik possiblely with fists. "B-but its okay! Atem is nice and um we have some things in common and uh the wedding isnt for a while anyway. I-its not Atem's fault or my fault so please don't be mad and um try to be happy for us..." His face now red Yugi is looking only at the floor Atem's arm still tight and protective around him.
Finally Ryou, the calmer of the two, decides to speak. "Yugi we couldn't be mad at you we just don't want you forced into somthing you dont want. Howver...it seems you two are already quite comfortable around one another. I approve of this if it will make you happy Yugi."
Grudgingly Malik agrees, "Ryou's right Yugi, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook for not telling us sooner." The teasing tone is back now.
Yugi thinking its safe to look up now gives his freinds a smile, he knows they're just looking out for him, "Thanks for understanding guys."
While this exchange of words was going on Marik and Bakura took their times looking over their look alike. With a glance at eachother and a small grin they silently agreed on which one they'd be seducing.
Things began to wind down from there. The six boys played some of Yugi's many many board games together. Marik sat very close to Malik and seemed to be whispering things into Malik's ear that made him blush just a bit. Malik tried ignoring him at first but it just didnt work so he tried teasing back. While that was going on between the blonds Bakura was making small advances on Ryou. Ryou of course noticed right away and he didnt seem to mind. He playfully flirted back. The two to be wed watched their friends with amusement and one of them always seemed to end up winning the game. The two steadily moved closer to one another until Yugi was almost comfortablely seated in Atem's lap.
It's starting to get late now and the boys are starting to yawn. Yugi has been playing with Atem's bracelet for a bit while the others talked but now he's yawning too. "Its getting late..."
Atem didn't look to happy about the time he was enjoying spending time with his little one and their friends, "You're right little one we should be leaving."
The other pairs of boys look at one another. Ryou takes out a small piece of paper and writes his number on it for Bakura. "It was nice meeting you." He stands up and grins at Yugi, "I'll talk to you tomorrow Yugi." With that Ryou leaves. While that small exchange was going on Marik was trying to convice Malik to give him his number. Of course Malik was playing hard to get and just stood up, "See you around Yugi" Malik left not noticing the paper with Mariks number the other had managed to slip into the boy's pocket.
Bakura and Marik look at one another then at the pair left, "We'll be in the car." And with that the two walked almost ran out.
With his friends gone Yugi is starting to be shy again. Nervousely he shifts a little away from Atem keeping his eyes on the bracelet. "Little one you have no reason to be nervous." Atem tightens his arm a bit around Yugi.
"I-I know but um..." Blushing Yugi doesn't look up at Atem.
With a small smile Atem finally lets go of Yugi, "Don't worry yourself little one." Very gently he presses a kiss to Yugi's forehead. "I had fun today and I would do this with you anytime."
His blush even bigger Yugi looks up at Atem, "O-okay Id like that...just the two of us maybe..." his lips felt so nice...even if it was brief
With a bigger smile he pulls the smaller boy into one last hug, "If you want it to be like that little one." Beaking the hug he walks out to his car a very happy person.
In a kind of stupor Yugi climbs up to his room and changes into his pajamas. Thinking about the small signs of affection Atem had been showing him all day and the warm but innocent kiss he got before he left Yugi crawls into bed. I definately have some feelings for him I think...and maybe with the time we have before the wedding they'll develop.
In his bed a while away Atem was thinking almost the same thoughts as Yugi.
A/N: So how was it? A little disappointing after being gone so long? I hope not but I wont know unless you review!
