Chapter 4
/Yami, its fine. Really. I've had much worse pain than the transformation. Don't worry/ Yugi said.
"Really? What have you had worse than the transformation?" Yami asked curiously.
/Eh, I had my scales pulled at, fire thrown at me, and almost losing Atemu/ Yugi listed.
Yami winced. "Sounds awful," Yami said.
Yugi nodded. /It was, but I got through it and I'm healed/ he let out a small sneeze. /And I need to clean here/ he pouted.
Yami chuckled softly at Yugi. "I can clean it," Yami said as he stood up.
Yugi shook his head and quickly pulled him back. /It'll hurt worse if you stand and do things. Just relax, I'll clean when hell freezes over/ he said sternly, gently putting his head on Yami lap.
"Okay," Yami said as he started to stroke Yugi's head.
Yugi purred at the soothing touch.
"You guys like your scales rubbed," Yami noted.
Yugi chuckled and nodded. /Of course. Usually we dragons like to stay in this form but others, like Isis, like to stay in their human form/ he said.
"That's good. I kinda like the feel of your scales under my hands," Yami said.
Yugi chuckled and used more of his body heat to warm his lover.
Yami smiled. "Thank you, Yugi," Yami said in response to the added heat.
/You're welcome. How do you feel?/
"It's not too bad," Yami replied, hiding the fact that it hurt a little more than little.
/Yami, please. I'm here for you. I want to know so that I can help you/ Yugi pleaded.
"I'm alright. I'll let you know when it gets too bad for me," Yami said.
Yugi sighed but nodded. /Alright/ he agreed.
Yami smiled and rested his head on top of Yugi's, still gently stroking his head.
Yugi purred and nuzzled into his lover gently.
Yami smiled. "When you and Atemu do the dirty do you go into your human forms or do it in your Dragon forms?" Yami asked with a blush, curious about the couple.
Yugi blushed and snorted slightly. /When it's mating season we go into our dragon forms. When it's not mating season, we go to our human forms/ he replied.
"Interesting. When is mating season?" Yami asked curiously.
/Mating season is every other two months/ Yugi replied.
"Will I have my mating season during the next one?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded. /Yes, but remember, the mating seasons for wyverns are the same as ours so stay close to us or go with one of the others. Who knows what they could do/ he said sternly.
"Okay, Yugi. Does it hurt in dragon form?" Yami asked softly.
/Well, it kinda hurts in any form unless you use a magic to numb the area before/ Yugi said.
"Oh. Why does it hurt?" Yami asked curiously.
Yugi blushed. /Um, I guess that their members are too big for our entrances/ he replied.
Yami blushed brightly. "I probably shouldn't have asked that. Is Atemu a born dragon or was he turned like us?" Yami asked.
Yugi chuckled. /Atemu was born a dragon/ he replied.
"Interesting," Yami said, covering a yawn. "I'm tired, Yugi."
Yugi nuzzled his mate. /Then sleep. I'll be here when you wake/ he said.
"Thank you, Yugi. Goodnight," Yami said with another yawn, quickly falling asleep with his head on Yugi's head.
Yugi chuckled. /Good night Yami/ he whispered before also falling asleep.
Yugi purred in his sleep when Yami resumed stroking his scales in his sleep.
Soon, Yugi woke to soft whimpered cries.
/Yami? Are you awake? Are you okay?/ Yugi asked worriedly.
"I-I'm fine Yugi," Yami stuttered.
/Are you sure, Yami?/ Yugi asked worriedly.
At that, Yami broke down. "I-It hurts Yugi!" he cried out.
/I know, Little One. Let me help you/ Yugi said as he tried to warm Yami's body, opening the link to absorb some of the pain.
Yami tried to calm his breaking as he clung to the dragon.
/I'm sorry, Yami/ Yugi said as he tried to absorb more of Yami's pain.
"I-It's not your fault," Yami said as the pain began to wear away.
/I shouldn't have let things get this bad/ Yugi said.
Yami shook his head, "I didn't tell you. It was technically my fault," he said as he slumped against the dragon in his new form.
Yami was only about a fourth smaller than both Yugi and Atemu. He had light grey scales with maroon and gold streaks that stood out to his maroon eyes.
Yugi gently nuzzled Yami. /Are you still awake?/ Yugi asked.
/Mmhmm/ Yami mumbled sleepily.
Yugi chuckled. /Go to sleep. Everything will be fine now/ Yugi said to his newest dragon partner.
Yami nodded and fell asleep quickly once his eyes shut.
Yugi smiled at him. /Sweet dreams, Cutie/ Yugi muttered.
Yami also muttered 'sweet dreams' but was barely head. Yugi chuckle and laid his on Yami's neck, sleep also taking him.
Soon, Ra had risen high in the air.
Yami groaned and slowly opened his eyes when he saw the light. /Yugi? Are you awake?/ Yami asked softly, yawning slightly.
/Yes Yami. Good morning. Are you ready to head back or do you want to learn to form back to a human?/ Yugi asked.
/Can I go back to human again?/ Yami asked, wanting to ride Yugi again instead of walk or fly now.
Yugi nodded and sat down. /Just think about going back to a human. With clothes/ he said, chuckling.
Yami blushed and closed his eyes, thinking about becoming a human with clothes on.
Yugi chuckled and lowered himself on the ground when Yami was back to human. /Also, you can do the same thing with becoming a dragon/ he said.
"Just forget the clothes part, right?" Yami asked. "Will I be naked if I transform into a human without thinking about wearing clothes?"
Yugi nodded and stood when Yami got onto his back. Beating his wings, he left his cave.
"Do you think Atemu will be awake now?" Yami asked over the wind.
/Maybe. If not, Isis should be done with him, so he could just be resting even more/ Yugi replied.
"Okay," Yami said as he gently stroked Yugi's back, a smile on his face.
Yugi purred as he flew faster to get to their other lover.
Yami smiled wider, enjoying the wind as they flew.
Soon, they were back at base. Yugi quickly landed and went into Atemu's room only to see that said person as in human form, sleeping soundly.
Yami blushed and climbed off Yugi's back, running over to Atemu. "How come all of you dragons are pretty in your human forms?" Yami asked curiously as he sat down beside Atemu.
Yugi chuckled and made his way over. /Everyone is beautiful in their own way, love/ he said as he curled around his lovers.
"True but you guys seem to be very pretty," Yami said with a blush, gently stroking Atemu's hair.
Yugi smiled. /You're pretty to Yami/ he said. Atemu groaned lightly and snuggled into the warmth, wincing slightly.
"Am I?" Yami asked with an uncertain look, ducking his head slightly.
Yugi licked Yami gently. /Yes Yami. You're very pretty. Like Atemu/ he cooed.
Yami smiled and hugged Yugi. "Thank you Yugi though I think Atemu and you would be considered hot," Yami said.
Yugi chuckled and nuzzled him. /I think so to. But what am I?/ Yugi asked playfully.
"You're hot in human form and pretty in dragon form," Yami replied with a blush.
Yugi chuckled and nuzzled him again. /So, since you're a dragon, what would you do first?/ he asked as he laid his head down.
"I don't know. Can I scare my parents later on?" Yami asked.
Yugi smirked. /Of course but there's two things you need to do. Number one! Don't. Get. Caught. Number Two! You must erase their memories or kill them!/ he said in a playful serious voice.
"Thanks. I really owe my father some serious pain," Yami said.
Yugi nodded and playfully picked him up. /But you ain't going without us! Or at least me/ he said.
"Why?" Yami asked curiously.
Yugi's eyes darkened. /Because no one hurts our mate/ he growled and licked Yami.
Yami giggled. "I like the sound of that," Yami said.
/Good/ Yugi said and laid his head down on Yami's lap.
"Y-Yugi..? Ya-Yami..?" came a weak voice.
"We're here, Atemu," Yami said as he gently started to stroke Atemu's hair.
"What-What happened?" Atemu asked tiredly as he looked at both of his lovers.
"You got very sick after the kids visit and Isis kicked us out," Yami summarized briefly, leaving out the battle and him being turned.
Atemu nodded and yawned, wincing when he moved.
"Are you okay, Atemu?" Yami asked worriedly.
Atemu groaned and laid on his stomach, showing the two his wounded back.
Yami winced. "Is there any way we can heal his back faster?" Yami asked.
Yugi shook his head. /Only time and patience can heal him. And I know that he barely has any patience/ he chuckled softly.
Yami nodded and gently started to rub Atemu's shoulders, being careful not to press on any wounds.
Atemu moaned quietly, Yami rubbing his shoulders releasing almost all the tension and stress he had.
Yami smiled, liking the soft noises escaping Atemu.
Yugi chuckled and purred, licking his lovers lightly, happy that they are alright and that they could rest without worry.
Yami chuckled at the lick. "I like your tongue," Yami said with a smile and a blush.
Yugi chuckled again. /Thanks I guess/ he said. He laid his head near Atemu and closed his eyes.
Atemu smiled and reached over, gently rubbing Yugi's head.
Yugi purred and nuzzled him. He then lifted his head when he felt the other dragons and their kids come in.
"They turn up a lot," Yami said.
/Sadly/ Yugi said, roaring when Akefia, Melvin, and Seth hit him with their tail.
"Don't hit him," Yami said.
The other dragons rolled their eyes, as the children came closer, eyes showing what they really want to do to their prince.
"Don't think about it," Yami growled.
The kids did a small shrug and jumped on Yugi, playfully jumping and swatting at him.
/Seth, Akefia, Melvin. I love the kids but I swear if you don't get them off I will throw them outside!/ Yugi snapped, making the three chuckled.
/Another better reason to keep them on you. They annoy the prince's mate!/
Ryou suddenly jumped onto Yami. "Um... Hi," Yami said nervously.
Ryou squealed and nuzzled the boy. /Hiya!/ he giggled as he sat on his lap.
"You're heavy," Yami groaned, trying to push the dragons off.
Ryou pouted and got off, only to pounce on the human and nuzzle him more. /What are you? You smell like dragon, no human!/ he said.
Atemu turned to look at Yami while Yami blushed.
The other kids also jumped to Yami. /Yeah! You smell like one of us! Dragon!/ Ryou turned to Yugi /He was human?/.
/He was but he wanted to be changed/ Yugi replied.
Atemu turned to Yami again, looking shocked "What!?" he shouted. He then turned to Yugi "And you let him!?"
/Yeah. I didn't see a problem with it/ Yugi replied.
"Yugi, he could be in even more danger," Atemu groaned as he buried his face into his pillow.
"Why could I be in more danger?" Yami asked curiously, gently rubbing Ryou's snout.
Ryou purred at the action.
"The wyverns. You need to learn how to hunt, fly, throw fire. Has my father even been notified?" Atemu asked, voice muffled by the pillow.
/Your father was there and your mother was the one that told Yami that it was possible to be turned/ Yugi replied.
Atemu groaned "Of course she would" he moaned. He tried to get up, but winced deeply. He held Yugi's scales as he moved.
"Don't move, Atemu," Yami said with a worried look.
"At some point I would need to," Atemu said.
"But you haven't had time to heal," Yami said.
Yugi growled. /Stay down Atemu/ he hissed.
Atemu didn't listen as he finally sat up; hand on head to stop the dizziness.
Yami moved over to Atemu, gently stabilizing the slightly wobbly man. "Are you okay, Ate'?" Yami asked, giving Atemu a nickname.
Atemu smiled at the nickname. "Yes Yami, just a little dizzy and nauseous," he whispered.
"You should rest then," Yami said softly.
Atemu shook his head. "Duty calls," he said and started to stand.
Seth growled.
"What duties?" Yami asked as he pulled Atemu onto his lap, being careful not to hurt him as he wrapped his arms around Atemu.
Atemu blushed "Well, I have to go to meeting with my father and learn the things of 'king'," he replied as he closed his eyes.
"He'll understand, Ate'. Please don't force yourself. You'll pass out before you learn anything," Yami said.
Atemu mumbled something incoherent as he snuggled closer to Yami and his warm. "You turned?" he barely whispered.
"Yes. I wanted to see what I was like in your form. When you are better can you teach me to be like your people?" Yami asked.
Atemu nodded and yawned slightly. He opened his droopy eyes and looked at Yami slightly. "Can I see what you look like?" he asked, again barely heard.
"In my dragon form?" Yami asked.
Atemu nodded and secretly yawned. "You look beautiful in human form so I want to see what you looked like in dragon form."
Yami nodded and gently shifted Atemu off his lap, moving away slightly and thinking about becoming a dragon again.
