Chapter 7: The Real Hidden Truth
The next morning passed quickly. Everyone was up by eight AM, which was unsurprising. Hardly any of them had gotten any sleep. Even Yami and Yugi had woken up before one AM and could not sleep any longer.
There were many long discussions on what to do in this situation. Magic was the key to destroying Lancelot and restoring the natural order, they decided. How to trap the main body of Lancelot was the real problem. After many hours of argument and suggestions of every sort, they all decided to take a break, and in the end, that they would wait for the next storm to drive their actions. Since Lancelot had finally revealed himself, he would most likely be there, they conceded. And be ready with what ever plans he had been harboring before.
At that moot point, the gang headed over to the video game room on a whim, with the exception of Seto and Mokuba who went to the lab. Yugi still had a haunted look on his features, but he followed and watched the others play while melting into the background. An hour or so later, at around 5:00 PM, Tea approached him.
"Yugi," Tea quipped, "Can I talk to you alone for a second?" She asked. The rest of the room was preoccupied with the endless games and didn't hear her question. Yugi nodded and led her to his room. Once there, he shut the door behind the both of them, turning to face her. His room was only up the stairs from the game room, but it was far enough away from prying ears or eyes.
"What did you want to talk about Tea?" Yugi asked, wondering if she was just embarrassed to ask a certain question in front of the group. She looked straight into his eyes and said it bluntly.
"Dai ski, Yugi,"
Yugi's breath hitched for a moment. He hadn't expected that, hadn't known that she would be so forward when admitting that to anyone. Even when she'd so obviously had a crush on Yami. He sighed. He should have guessed.
"Tea," he began, his eyes saddening, "How long have you known me?"
"Almost five years," She said without hesitation, never once forgetting the day she became friends with such a kind and strong person.
"It's been eight for me," Yugi reminded her softly, "And in these three years that I have been without you or the others, I have changed, not only physically. I have had time to think about a lot of important things that used to plague my younger self. If you had told me that you felt this way for me that day, three years before, I would have said I felt the same without another thought. I had a crush on you since a month after I first became your friend." He paused, hoping against hope that he wouldn't hurt her by saying what needed to be said.
"But now, I realize that I only idealized you as the perfect girlfriend: smart, beautiful, caring, and always telling me that you would never leave my side, even through all that happened to us. And now, I think that you're doing the same thing I did to you." He looked at Tea closely to gage her reaction to his words.
"You don't think that my feelings are real?" She asked slowly, nothing showing on her face.
"No," He said carefully, "I just think that I grew a little taller and gained some muscle, and since you already love me as a friend, it was easy to fool yourself into believing that I was a good candidate for a boyfriend…a lover."
"It's fine that you don't feel the same way about me Yugi, but I don't like being called shallow," She said bitingly.
"I'm not calling you shallow," Yugi said defensively.
"You just said I liked you only because you grew some muscles, if that's not calling someone shallow…" She raised an eyebrow.
Yugi sighed, "I've changed more than you realize, Tea. I just don't think you can handle the truth. I'm not calling you shallow; I just don't think you can accept me as I am now, as a friend or a lover. I haven't shown anyone the full extent of my three years change…"
"I can handle it." She replied to his explanation.
"I really don't…"
"Yugi, I've been close to you for over four and a half years. I will accept you as you are, because to me, you will always be Yugi – the strongest and bravest person I know." She interrupted, hoping to make him see that she would never leave him for any reason.
Yugi saw her eyes and posture: taunt, unwilling to give in, determined to prove something to him. Her friendship? Her… misplaced love?
"Alright then," Yugi breathed, sitting himself down on the bed and motioning for her to stand in front of him. She stopped about a foot and a half away from him, looking to him expectantly. Yugi took as deep a breath as his lungs would allow, and let go of his magic mask that he had placed.
His eyes never left hers as they clouded with pure black and then formed over with a silver, cat-like pupil. His ears elongated at the tips, pointing backwards. He slightly parted his lips, letting a pair of sharp canines lengthen into view. He held his hands out and showed the black claws that grew on each finger. He would have continued with the transformation, but then…
Tea screamed. It wasn't particularly long, but it was loud enough to catch the attention of the group in the room almost directly beneath them. She ran out of Yugi's room before he could say anything, and straight into the worried friends wondering what the hell had just happened.
"Tea, TEA! Calm down! What happened?" Tristan shook her slightly. His eyes and all the others' eyes went wide at her next statement.
"YUGI! He's…something is terribly wrong with him…" Tea sobbed out. "I think he's possessed."
"What do you mean? Yugi…Wait, what does she mean?" Ryou asked Yugi, who was standing in the doorway of his room.
"I'm not possessed…I-I tried to warn her…she d-didn't listen to me…" Yugi stuttered in apprehension. "I told her…"
"What's going on here? I heard screaming." Seto announced his presence as he strode down the hall with Mokuba.
"What is wrong with Yugi? He's sick or-or something!" Tea said hysterically. "That isn't Yugi!" She pointed at the imposter. She didn't notice when he visibly cringed and shook slightly.
"Yugi…you didn't…" Seto said, but he could tell by the look of betrayal in Yugi's eyes that he had shown Tea his secret.
"She wanted to know…she said she could handle it…" Yugi hugged himself tightly, trying to stop his shaking. Everyone in the hall was stuck in a stunned silence except Seto, who walked through them all and took Yugi into his arms. Yugi stopped shaking, leaning into the embrace, but didn't return it.
"I think it's time you showed them all." Seto said in a low voice. Yugi nodded, barely.
"What's the big deal here? Geez, you'd think that the world was ending…again," Bakura sarcastically remarked. His nervous smile dropped when he saw Ryou's glare.
"Please, tell us…" Yami hadn't taken his eyes off of Yugi since he had seen him enter the hall.
Yugi pulled away from Seto, steeling himself for whatever was to come. He led the others to the theater-type lounge that was adjacent to the game room. Once they were all settled, he stood in front of them and began to explain his little secret.
"Okay then," Yugi sighed, somewhat dejectedly. "So, it was about two months after Seto and I settled into the refurbished mansion that we caught a signal that showed some particularly strong storm warnings that were coming from the coast of England. This was the first time I met Epsilon... Lancelot. Before this point, we couldn't tell why all the monsters were behaving a certain way or were here in the first place…but that sure as hell changed that day." Yugi snorted softly, shaking his head.
"So, as per usual, I went to check it out, see if there were any new monster types that I could free from the smut that clouded their minds. I got more than I bargained for. I found the Dark Magician." Yugi smiled ruefully at his naïveté in that moment. He'd been so happy to finally find one of his favorite monsters. "But, unknown to me, he was controlled directly by Epsilon. I never saw it coming until it was too late." Yugi's eyes saddened considerably and he bit his lip in remembrance.
"I followed Dark Magician into what looked like an old cathedral. Amazingly, the building was still intact, and I was so distracted by everything that was happening at the moment that I was caught off guard when the doors slammed shut behind me and three monsters surrounded me. It was the Dark Magician with Black Magician of Chaos and Dark Magician Girl. They bound me before I had a chance to attack and put me in the middle of a spell circle. I could do nothing but watch as three of my favorite monsters started to chant, not knowing anything about what was to happen." Yugi balled his hands into fists and clenched his teeth.
"That was when he finally spoke to me. He introduced himself as Epsilon and spoke through Dark Magician. Epsilon said that I was getting in the way too much for my own good and he needed to 'save me before I could hurt myself'. I know I tried to ask what he was doing to me, but I blacked out before I could. When I finally came to, Seto was yelling through the communicator and I was still in the same circle, feeling normal as ever. I told Seto I was okay and that I would be going back as soon as I could. Then I saw that the three spell casters were still near me and still under Epsilon's control. So I worked my magic on them, only feeling the pain after I was done with the third one. It's incredible that I was able to get back to the plane and set it on autopilot to get back here." Yugi sighed, still unable to pull any coherent memory from those three missing hours.
"When I conscious again, I noticed the change. It was scary as all hell, I had no idea what was happening to me. I'll show you now why…" Yugi took a deep breath and pulled off his black shirt, allowing the transformation to come uninterrupted. He locked eyes with Yami as they clouded over, black as oblivion. He refused to look at the others; wanting to know the thoughts of the one person he was truly afraid of finding out his secret.
The transformation was the same as he had showed Tea, but with two new components: from his back sprouted two feathery black wings and on his lower back a slick-scaled black pointed tail emerged.
Yugi's chest tightened as he waited for a reaction. He saw in Yami's eyes a strange curiosity, but no fear or disgust. His wings shivered in barely contained fear; fear of rejection.
Tea, he heard, choked on a sob, covering her mouth to prevent any further noise. Whether it was from his story or the second time transforming, he would never ask. Once again, the room was thrown into a stunned silence, no one daring to breath when—
"OSO!" Marik eyed Yugi with fascination, "Can you fly?"
"COOL WINGS! Can I touch them?" Ryou shyly asked.
"Looks like the shrimp finally has some more bite than bark." Bakura bit at Yugi mockingly.
"Man, where can I sign up for this curse? Yugi obviously got the better of most of the curses I can think of…" Tristan grinned as he stared, just as unabashed as the others, at Yugi. Joey smacked him on the back of the head for the comment, reminding Tristan how much grief had come and would be coming from the curse later on.
They all moved closer to him for inspection, and his wings lowered and he visibly shrank from all the attention out of instinct. He was trying to figure out what had just happened. He let forth a burst of laughter when he realized that they all were fascinated with his change rather than put off.
"Mina~" He couldn't stop his chuckles as they all stared at him, "I love you guys sometimes," He shook his head in attempt to cease his fit of hilarity and looked back to Yami to see what he thought of the whole situation. He found a warm, contented smile adorning Yami's face. Yugi could breathe easier, the tightening in his chest much less unbearable now.
He lowered his wings and folded them back without noticing, and everyone's eyes followed them. He rolled his eyes in mock annoyance and said, "Alright, who wants to touch them?" He brought one of his wings forward as most of his friends scrambled to him, wanting to have the first feel.
They had all been happily 'petting' his wings when Seto spoke up again. "Yugi, tell them the rest," He reminded reluctantly, sad to have to kill the good mood his friend was in.
Yugi sighed. He motioned for the rest to back off and sit down again. "Although I seem like I'm the same when I'm changed like this, I'm not. Unless I say it is okay for you to approach me while I'm in this state, do not do so. I can not warn you enough against that…" He trailed off some.
"What do you mean?" Tea asked, still trying to cope with the shock of it all.
"Most of the time, when I change, it isn't my choice. It usually happens when I'm extremely angry, frightened, or surprised. And when that happens, you need to get as far away from me as possible, and tell Seto. Again, I cannot control all my actions when I change unwillingly like this." Yugi's eyes fixed on Seto for a moment before looking down in guilt. "You may as well show them, Seto."
All eyes were on the taller teen of the group as he nodded nonchalantly and pulled off his trench coat and unbuttoned his shirt. He pulled down the left sleeve to reveal five long scars, beginning just below the collar bone in horrid star-like shapes, before running all the way to the center of his arm. Somehow the room kept their gasps from being uttered, as there was not a single sound for a time.
"You…Did this, Yug?" Joey mustered to say.
"Yes," He answered.
"You didn't mean to though, right?" Ryou interjected, "It was an accident?"
"Yes," He repeated, and the group let out a collective sigh of premature relief. "I was aiming to rip his heart out with my bare hand,"
"WHAT?" Ryou, Malik, Tea, and Tristan gasped. The others looked too stunned to chorus with them.
"This is what I'm trying to warn you about. At the time, when I injured Seto, I really was trying to kill him. And the only thing he was trying to do was clean a deep cut on my side…" He grit his teeth, "All I'm trying to say is, be VERY careful if I start acting or looking strange. Understand?" Everyone nodded together. He sighed, Somehow I don't think they really get it, he thought.
"Follow me to the training room," Yugi stated suddenly, and they all followed him and watched as his wings faded into thin air. Once there, he said, "This will be the first time that you really see me train," he smiled ruefully as he put on the electronic visor and walked into the large holographic room that changed familiarly before their eyes. Seto had set it up on level ten, and sat back to watch with the others, aiming to gauge their reactions to Yugi's full transformation as the screen showed the session.
Yugi was displayed on the 50" screen before them, winged, clawed, and fanged. And by the end of the level, no one in the room, except Seto, could say that they had expected as much from a demon Yugi.
The boy that they all knew punched, kicked, choked, disemboweled, decapitated, dismembered, slashed, tore, and mutilated every monster before him. He used magic mercilessly, burning, shocking, crushing, and even drowning some of his victims. It was really a sight to behold, both terrifying and somehow…magnificent and beautiful. He was covered in blood and gore, scratches and bruises, but all that was washed away as the simulation turned off. And even after almost a full two hours of fighting, Yugi was not even panting, nor did he feel sore.
He walked back up to the group, his eyes still black and his claws exposed. He looked them all in the eye, no more hesitation, no more fear behind his gaze.
"I'm sorry," He said, "I did not mean to keep this from you all, I really didn't, but I wanted everything to be something like it was before this." His eyes became unclouded and pale amethyst shown once more. "But I'm not going to hide anything anymore, especially because I was being selfish, I put you all in danger. I'm especially sorry to you, Tea." He turned to the girl currently in Tristan's arms, "I should have just told you everything from the beginning,"
Tea shook her head, moving toward him, "You tried to warn me Yugi, and I lied when I said that I could handle it," She sighed, "I pushed you into showing me, and I should have just stopped and thought about it for a moment-"
"I know what I look like, Tea," Yugi interrupted her, "You have nothing to apologize for. I was just tired of keeping secrets and I let my frustration out on you,"
"I forgive you, Yugi," Tea smiled wryly, "You're only human."
"Sort of," he smiled back.
"Have you figured out what exactly your curse is, Yugi?" Ryou asked.
"That's the thing, I don't even know if this is a curse," Yugi shook his head, "It could be a transformation spell, a binding spell, or a transfusion,"
"Well, have you tried any counter spells?" Ryou huffed, desperate to fix the problem with his friend.
"That would not be wise," Seto interjected, "As long as we don't know the specifics of the spell, anymore magic infused on Yugi's physical or spiritual form might kill him or worse."
"Worse?" Marik questioned.
"After the way you lived in the past, do you really doubt that there are fates worse than death?" Yugi asked softly. His breathing was strange. His eyes blackened again and he looked up at Seto for help.
"Now?" Seto asked. When Yugi nodded, Seto swore. He strode quickly over to Yugi and picked him up as he went limp.
"What's happening to him?" Joey asked as he followed with the others.
"Another one of his faints," Seto said.
"Faints?" Yami said, perplexed and flustered.
"Yes, it happens from time to time," Seto said, leading them down to his lab and pressing a button on the wall, a table coming up from a part of the floor that moved away. He laid Yugi down on it before strapping him into the wrist and ankle cuffs.
"The spell that he was placed under is still working inside him, becoming stronger as he tries to fight it off. Every time he falls unconscious like this, he becomes stronger physically and his magical ability increases. It also makes it harder to control his other side, which we think is demon in nature." Seto's tone was completely scientific and monotone, but his eyes spoke volumes.
"Demon?" Mokuba's eyes widened.
"Yes," Seto answered, "That was the other reason for all the time he reads and gathers artifacts, besides the whole trouble with Lancelot. He is studying to find out more about the curse and what he is. We think his other half is a demon. We are not sure about what kind though." Seto blinked as Yugi groaned low in his throat, his back arching off of the cold metal table. He pulled at his restraints, his muscles flexing and his limbs twisting.
"We don't think he will turn into a full demon, however," Seto said, only drawing half of their attention from Yugi's form. "Most of the texts say that you can only be born that way."
"And your knowledge of the shadow magiks has yielded nothing about this?" Yami seemed beyond consolation.
"No, not mine, not Mahad's, not even your father, and he is somewhat of an authority on the subject,"
"Fuck," Yami said, somewhat under his breath. He looked down at Yugi, before going to his knees beside the metal sheet and bringing his hand to Yugi's forehead. As his fingers made contact with the other's skin, Yugi's body tensed quickly, his eyes opening and locking upon Yami's before his muscles relaxed a little. He made a sound that was caught between a whimper and a contained sob, leaning into Yami's palm.
"It shouldn't last long," Seto's strained voice hovered above Yami, "They never do,"
Yugi convulsed as if to contradict that statement. His body shuddered and writhed. It was more than taxing to watch. He pulled on the restraints more forcefully this time, the chains creaking under the stretch. He went limp a second later, falling flat on the table, breathing rushed.
'He wasn't as violent as he usually is…' Seto thought, looking between Yami and Yugi. 'This could be the answer to the problem here,'
"He should be fine now," Seto said, "You guys can leave and he'll see you when he wakes up." The others, except Yami, shuffled out of the lab, giving a few last depressing glances toward Yugi and Yami. Seto stayed and went to a computer that was monitoring Yugi's vital signs and physical changes. He noted that Yugi's heart rate had decreased again, and his muscle expanded some, making more room for him to grow stronger. The heart rate was not a bad thing, it actually meant that he would live longer and would be able to recover faster, but Yugi only saw it as becoming more of a monster.
"Kaiba?" Yami said from across the room, indicating that Yugi was back to 'normal'. He undid the cuffs on Yugi's limbs, and Yugi sat up and rubbed absently at his wrists. His eyes were dazed as he looked at Yami, and his hand moved as if of its own accord, placing itself on Yami's forehead and resting there. Yugi blinked a few times, staring into Yami's eyes, and then he whispered, "Thank you," as his hand moved and cupped Yami's cheek. Yami looked confused for a moment, not sure what Yugi had meant, before he smiled softly and nodded in understanding.
"I'm going to do a few tests to see what happened this time," Seto announced, "Just give us a moment, if you would, Yami."
Yami sighed and nodded again, standing up and walking out of the room. A few seconds after he disappeared, Seto spoke again.
"You know, Yugi, that was the tamest I've ever seen you during a transformation," he said offhandedly.
"Really?" Yugi looked at Seto in curious suspicion.
"Yes," Seto said.
"So, what's your point?" Yugi raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.
"I think you know what I'm talking about," Seto eyed him straight on. "The discovery in your reading a few weeks ago-"
"That is out of the question," Yugi glared at Seto, "I would never want to ask Yami to do something like that or put him in that position."
"That's not what you're truly worried about, and you know it," Seto came face to face with him. "I know that he would do what ever he had to do to protect you, even from yourself."
"But-" Yugi started.
"All you have to do is mate with him, it's not the same as marriage. It's wholly physical." Seto smiled, albeit perversely, "Or is that what really bugs you about all this?"
Yugi growled loudly, "Very funny,"
"It shouldn't really be that much of a problem, after all, you've done it before," He dropped his teasing, "All I'm asking you to do is consider it, Yugi, and I mean seriously consider it," He poked Yugi's arm to emphasize.
"Fine," Yugi said under his breath, "Can I go now?"
"Yes," Seto replied, going back to one of the desks in his lab. "See you in the morning."
"Skipping dinner, are we?" Yugi asked.
"I'm having Mokuba bring me some," Seto said, distractedly. Yugi sighed. 'And they worry about my condition with all the late hours he works…I've known him to skip meals for over two days before.'
With that last thought and a shake of his head, Yugi went back down the hall and went to the kitchen to start dinner.
XXX Later That Night XXX
Yugi fell back onto his bed, not tired in the least, and not for the first time. His mind was going a mile a minute, running through the moments where he revealed his true nature to his closest friends, the looks on their faces when he came back from the holographic training room, the conversation with Seto before dinner…
His eyes flickered and stormed over the idea that Seto had planted in his mind. It wasn't a bad idea to mull over. It was something that he would never in his life mention to Yami, no matter how tempting the thought was. No. Too much would be at stake if he allowed himself to put Yami in that position. His sanity seemed to be the least important of everything he could think of; their bond, friendship, his heart, his love, the overwhelming draw he felt towards Yami…
Yep, Yugi slowly losing his mind was not reason enough to jeopardize that relationship.
Yugi found himself sighing again as he looked over at the clock across the bed on the nightstand. 12:30. He figured his friends should be asleep at this point, considering their lack of sleep from the night before.
He felt a sudden jolt in the mind link that he shared with Yami, and looked to the door as it silently opened to reveal Yami, dressed in a pair of gray drawstring pants. Yami closed the door just as quietly as he entered, and turned to face Yugi, a little apprehensive, for once, seemingly, in all of his life.
"Yami," Yugi said, "Couldn't sleep?" He stood up from the bed and moved toward the other.
"No," Yami still was staring at the floor.
"Did you need something?" Yugi furrowed his eyebrows.
"No," Yami finally looked him in the eye, the wine color burning into Yugi's being, "I heard your conversation with Kaiba earlier today…"
Yugi's face went slack with shock, but then hardened and he found himself turning away from Yami, "Did you?"
"Yes,"
"And?"
"And what?"
"Did you want to ask me something about it?" Yugi trembled slightly, not having any idea what to do.
"I think that it's pretty clear what I want to ask you…" Yami's voice seemed a lot closer than it had been a moment ago. Yugi could feel the heat from the other's body near his back.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you, I wanted everything to be like before-"
"No, Yugi," Yami said, "Why didn't you tell me that you didn't have to worry about losing control if you had just mated?"
"Why would I?"
"That's a good question. Why don't you tell me anything any more?"
"I want to its just-"
"Just what Yugi?" Yami forcefully turned Yugi to face him, holding onto both of his arms, "You don't think I could handle it? That I would run away from you because of some damn curse?"
"YES!" Yugi looked fully into Yami's eyes, "I don't want to lose you…I wouldn't be able to live anymore if that happened…"
Yami saw the glistening in Yugi's eyes and worried that he had made the other cry. He pulled Yugi into an embrace, holding him tightly. "You should know that I would never leave you for any silly reason like that," Yami's hand ran through Yugi's hair.
"I couldn't help that I felt that way…I've never been more scared in my life."
Yami sighed at these words. "Yugi…tell me what I need to do to mate with you. I said once that I would do everything in my power to protect you, and I plan to keep to that pact forever."
"But, Yami…" Yugi's reluctance wasn't too surprising.
"I understand the basic thing that we need to do, but is there anything special? Anything else?" Yami was not taking no for an answer.
Yugi pulled away from Yami and took a deep breath. There was no way to deny it; he and Yami were going to be friends with benefits by the end of the night. He looked Yami straight in the eye and said, "You have to dominate me; otherwise there is no point to the ceremony,"
"What? Why?" Yami was surprised at himself for not blushing at Yugi's bluntness.
"Because if I am the dominant one in the relationship, then I will not feel the need to listen to you when I am fully immersed in my transformations."
"Oh…" Yami contemplated that quirk in demon nature.
"You will also have to deal with my demon half during that time," Yugi sighed, and tried to keep his expression blank. "I don't know how I will act, but I seem to have a good reaction to you," Yugi admitted.
"How did you figure that one out?" Yami asked.
"When I was dancing with you a few weeks ago," This time Yugi blushed.
"Oh…" Yami felt pretty speechless at the moment.
"That's about all," Yugi turned away. "Do you think you can handle it?"
"Yes," Yami said, his face set, just as if Yugi were issuing him a challenge.
Yugi faced him once again, his eyes the intense black and silver, "Can you handle me?"
Yami's mouth went dry.
Yugi stepped closer to Yami, sliding his hands surely, but gently, around the other's waist. He leaned in and released a breath over Yami's neck, licking a trail to Yami's ear before purring, "I'm all yours, so don't hold back,"
(A/N: If you don't get what's about to happen now, you really need to skip the end of this chapter and wait for the next one. And you really shouldn't be reading rated M stories either. This is a LEMON WARNING PEOPLE!! The thing you've all been waiting and reading for, I'm sure. Enjoy, all you perverts. XD)
The hesitation and tension in Yami's mind caused Yugi to act again – guiding Yami's hands to his chest, sliding them against the soft thin material that did nothing to block the heat between the touch. Yami looked down at his hands and then into Yugi's eyes, almost not wanting to believe what he saw there. Lust.
He wasted no time after that. His hands moved on their own, wrapping lowly around Yugi's waist before pulling them closer into a kiss – soft and unhurried, relaxing and explorative. It didn't stay that way, though.
Yugi wanted him to dominate, to force submission? That was a practice he had perfected as a Pharaoh once and now as a game king. To say that he had no experience in this sort of game would not tribute to the lovers he had pleased in the past; and knowing how to please was certainly more rewarding than most other trades that he could think of. Though, granted, thinking was not something he was doing at the moment…
His hands found their way beneath Yugi's shirt, roughly massaging the skin of Yugi's back in slow, thorough moves that pressed Yugi even closer. He worked Yugi's shirt off and parted their mouths, and he was glad that he had not worn a shirt. Being away from Yugi for a second was too long. He pushed Yugi to the bed and made him lay back, hearing a moan from the other as his weight fell upon Yugi. There was somewhat of a struggle at this point; Yugi did not want to be on the bottom. But as his hands tried to push Yami to the side, Yami pinned his wrists above Yugi's head and kept them there with one hand while the other snaked beneath Yugi's body on the bed and his fingers fisted the black hair, pulling his head back and exposing his neck to Yami. Yugi growled at Yami's stare and restraints, but his fighting stopped when Yami ground his hips down against Yugi's, his mouth attached to Yugi's bared neck.
A whimper sounded from Yugi's throat as he pushed back with his hips, his breathing quickened. Yami's mouth made a trail down Yugi's chest, stopping at his nipples while the rest was out of reach while holding onto Yugi's wrists. He laved and sucked and bit them both without mercy, giving cautious looks up at Yugi's face. The other's eyes hardly left his own.
Yami leaned back up, straddling Yugi's waist and smiled somewhat wickedly at him. Yugi looked skeptically at the man, obviously thinking that there was no chance that he could make any real traps against Yugi. All those thoughts seemed to leave his mind as Yami kissed him again, and he felt Yami release he wrists. Yugi almost grinned into the kiss, moving his arms so that he could change their positions…
Only to find that they were still tied down, and he had a very evil-looking bed partner smirking down at him. He growled in his throat as he looked up to see that Yami had bound his wrists with shadow magic. He tried to dispel it, but Yami's capacity for shadow magic was much stronger than his current understanding for it. Damn. He's good. But I guess that's a good little trick to keep in mind…Bondage has a fun aspect to it…
Yugi didn't quite manage a threatening glare at that thought, but he knew that it wasn't horrible to be on the receiving end of this…little game. He was proven right when Yami just smiled back and began to use his hands to map out Yugi's chest and legs, in long and sure stokes. Yugi couldn't help but squirm whenever he felt Yami's touch stray too close to the zipper on his pants. He was beginning to get a little impatient, and let Yami know that when he let out a rather frustrated moan. Yami chuckled quietly as he undid the knot on his own pants, lowering Yugi's and suckling a sensitive spot on the inside of his hip. It was enough to distract Yugi from the fingers playing with the fastening on his pants and soon they were off, revealing a very naked Yugi. Who needs boxers anyway?
Then Yugi realized that they were both naked and Yami was still teasing him. The bounds on his wrists seemed all that more entrapping at the thought. But if Yami was playing unfairly, so would Yugi.
Yami crawled so that he was above Yugi, and Yugi saw this as his opportunity to tease back. He securely wrapped his legs around Yami, pulling him down until they were flush against one another. Their gasps resounded in the silence around them. Should have remembered how cunning you can be when you need to, came the amused and lustful voice in Yugi's mind. Yugi chuckled in return, Never underestimate a demon.
Yami shook his head and smiled before scorching Yugi with another kiss. The kiss didn't serve to distract Yugi from the sudden touch to his ass, the wet fingers caressing and searching before they found his entrance. His eyes flew open as one finger slid into him, and he let out a long moan when it started to move. It wasn't long before Yugi felt another finger added, and he was surprised by the gentle touches, though they were anything but unsure. Especially once they found his prostate and Yami teased him once again.
"Yami," Yugi purred, "Please!"
The voice was desperate and needy and so Ra-damned sinful that Yami couldn't help a growling moan in answer. All of his reservations about this joining and the effects it would have left his mind with what he could have sworn was an audible snap. He lubricated his shaft and pulled Yugi toward him so that his hips were resting on the edge of the mattress. Yugi released a guttural moan when Yami pulled his fingers out, writhing in insufferable heat before Yami's hands on his hips steadied him. There was a stillness; a tense moment as Yami captured Yugi's eyes, then sheathed himself swiftly to the hilt into Yugi.
Yugi threw his head back as his entire body contracted at the sudden intrusion, letting out an almost scream of total bliss. Yes, there was pain, but damned he wasn't somewhat of a masochist after those three years and damned if the intense pleasure that shot through him along with it didn't make him cum instantly. Through some miracle, though, he hadn't. His heavy breathing concerned Yami, however, making him think that he had gone too fast and hurt him. His fears were unwarranted, he found, when Yugi wrapped his legs around his hips and pushed him in deeper, and looked him straight in the eyes before arching onto Yami even more with a sound that was the most erotic thing that Yami had ever heard. Yami felt his own breath come out in short gasps as he tried to compose himself enough to control himself again.
It wasn't long before he found the will to move; thrusting into Yugi without restraint, feeling and knowing through their connection that he wanted Yami to do so. The way Yugi pushed back against him and drew his claws harshly down his back just confirmed it. Yami quickened his pace and slammed harder into Yugi at the arousing, pleasure-pain stimulation. He was glad that he had trained so hard with Yugi and the others those past few weeks, his stamina had increased and that only added to the experience. He felt himself draw nearer to the impending, explosive end. One of his hands stroked Yugi's cock and the other still held him in place. Yugi let out a shuttering moan, feeling himself about to cum, and leaned up and sheathed his fangs into Yami's neck as he came. Yami moaned loudly at the feeling and found himself biting back just as harshly as he released into Yugi.
The sound of their still excited pants filled the room, and for a moment, they basked in the feeling of each other. They pulled apart slowly, holding eye contact as they moved to the head of the bed and slipped underneath the covers together. Yami saw that Yugi's eyes stayed the same black as they had been since they started, but that didn't bother him in the least. He could still feel Yugi behind their gaze, and they held the same unique light as they always had before. He pulled Yugi into his embrace, sighing contentedly when he felt Yugi lick the bite mark he made. It didn't pain him in the least, and actually sent waves of serenity flowing through him as he felt Yugi's slowing breath caress it. He could feel it, and he knew Yugi knew: the bond they shared was more cemented then ever before.
But… he was close to Yugi in the first place, and this new development hadn't seemed to change anything like they feared it might. He smiled softly, unknowingly, as his thoughts ceased when he fell asleep beside his one and only Aibou.

Well, what do you think? Like it? Love it? Gotta have more of it? Just say so!
I also take constructive criticism, and if you think that means just saying it was absolutely atrocious or horrifying, then you need a dictionary. Tell me what you like and didn't like about it, and why or what you think I could do to fix it.
Thanks, love you bunches!
