Hello! I think no intros are really needed here! Here's part 2 of my triple chapter update!
Love Me
It was well past sunset by the time anyone saw either of the Sennen brothers. Yugi had obeyed Yami and gone back to the house. Joey and Tristian had to only take one look at his ashen face to tell there was something wrong. A few sips of wine and a seat at the table helped to calm his nerves, but only slightly. With a shaking voice he had told them about the death of both the chief of police, and the murder of Dr. Dartz Atlans. Joey's jaw had hung to the floor as he silently stared at his friend, his eyes wide in horror. Tristian listened to this all with a grave face. After Yugi was done, he nodded and murmured that he would be right back. Joey sat down beside Yugi and rubbed comforting circles on his back. Moments later Tristian came back in to the room, with Seto in tow. With some gentle prodding Yugi re-told what he knew, including that it was likely that the police may come by to question them. As if summoned by his words, the doorbell rang. Seto squared his shoulders and lifted his chin before walking out to the front. He returned with two officers. Yugi recognized them from the crime scene and he felt his gut twist as ice flooded his veins.
" Good day, Gentlemen. My name is officer Robert Scorpio, and this is my associate, officer Curtis Ashton. If you don't mind, we have a few questions for everyone. Can you all please Identify yourselves and your position in this house?" He asked, his tone detached and professional. Seto arrogantly folded his arms and lifted his chin.
" Seto Kaiba, Steward." Joey cleared his throat nervously and stood straight at attention.
" Joseph Wheeler, Gardner." Tristian inclined his head and held his hands behind his back.
" Tristian Taylor, Chef." Yugi alone chose to remain seated. He didn't think he would have the strength to stand at the moment anyway, with how much his legs were trembling. Yugi folded his hands in his lap and bowed his head to the officers instead.
" Yugi Mutou, Butler." Well, it wasn't a lie. He knew the butler or head butler of a home was often the main servant to the employer. Calling himself the doctor's personal servant seemed too intimate a title. The officers took this information down, Mr. Ashton's pen stilling at Yugi's name.
" If I may, are you the same Yugi associated with the rescue at the fire of St. Michael's church?" A tired sigh escaped him and Yugi nodded his head.
" Yes. After the fire my congregation was forced to disband to other churches. As there was no available place for me to stay, Dr. Sennen has kindly taken me in to his employ." Mr. Scorpio studied him curiously from where he stood. Officer Ashton gave him the smallest of smiles before becoming professional again.
" I see. Now then, speaking of your employer, we need to speak with him immediately. Tell me; Has anyone seen either Dr. Atemu Sennen or Dr. Yami sennen?" Joey held up his hands and shook his head.
" I've been in the greenhouse all day changing soil and trimming the hedges."
" I've been here, preparing to make lunch and cleaning the kitchen. I stopped by the garden to get some vegetables, but other than that I've not been outside. I haven't seen Yami at all today, and I only saw Atemu this morning when I delivered him his breakfast." Tristian offered.
" I've been in my study, organizing Atemu's past patient files and calculating this month's budget versus last months to come up with a financial quota to issue for the following month. In addition, my cousin plans to make a donation to the new children's home opening next season. I'm going through his financial profile to assess what funds we can move for the donation as well as what cost cuts can be made until then. As my cousin knows how I hate wasteful interruptions, he has wisely not been to see me today. We were to discuss matters once I was done, possibly over dinner." Seto stated. Everyone's brows rose at his extensive response and the veiled insult. He had looked both officers in the eye as he had said' wasteful interruptions' and that did not go unnoticed. Both officers stared challengingly at Seto before moving on to Yugi.
" Mr. Mutou?" Officer Scorpio asked. Yugi cleared his throat, then shook his head.
" No, I only saw Atemu this morning. I was at the hospital with Mrs. Atlans and her daughter. I confess, I saw the...the body. I went in search of both of the brothers. Though, I was mostly looking for Atemu. He's always at the hospital. That he wasn't there worried me. I assume he went to find his brother since he wasn't around either, so I went looking for both. I only just got back." He finished quietly.
" And did you find them?" Officer Ashton asked quietly. Yugi shook his head.
" No. I searched everywhere I could think of. I found nothing." The uniformed men nodded in understanding and took down what he had told them.
" Very well. In that case, we'll be leaving now. But the moment either one of them comes home, please wire us immediately. That means everyone." Mr. Scorpio stressed. Satisfied with what information they had the officers left. Once the door was closed, everyone visibly relaxed. Yugi slumped back in the chair, Joey let out an exasperated breath and slumped against the table, Tristian copied him and all but fell against the counter top. Only Seto remained stoic and calm, the only indication that he had been worried was a brush of his fingers through his hair.
" Alright, everyone. Back to your duties. All we can do now is wait for Atemu to come back home. But I will not take this as an excuse for lacking work. From any of you." And with that he turned on his heel and walked out of the room. Joey snorted and scoffed behind his back.
" Snobby bastard." He grumbled. Tristian sighed and pushed himself off the counter.
" No, he's right, Joey. No matter how much we wanna help the doc, all we really can do is just go about our day like normal. He'll come back. Atemu wouldn't just abandon us, Joey." The blonde considered his words slowly, then he huffed and stuffed his hands in to his pockets.
"Yeah, you're right, Trist. Might as well keep at it, huh?" He looked down to Yugi for confirmation. The boy remained seated where he was, a worried frown on his face. Joey walked over and patted Yugi on the shoulder, making him look up in to his honey-colored eyes. " Hey, it's okay buddy. He'll be back." He said kindly. Of this Yugi had no doubt. What worried him most was what would happen when he DID come back. But in the meantime he couldn't sit here anymore. Suddenly he felt the need to move. So Yugi got up from his chair and then walked out of the room, but not before murmuring a quiet ' Thank you' to Joey and Tristian. He wasn't sure what he should do with himself, so Yugi resorted to the only thing he could do: Clean. All day he committed himself to making the house spotless. He dusted every table, window and mantle, he polished the wood on the cabinets, tables and the banister, he mopped the hallways and cleaned each chandelier he could find. By the day's end he was thoroughly exhausted. He nearly considered just going straight to bed, but a thunder of running footsteps halted that thought immediately.
Joey burst in to the library, where Yugi was just finishing polishing the chandelier on a ladder. " Yugi! The doc's back! He says everything's okay and he want you to meet him upstairs. He's okay!" He shouted exuberantly, a wide smile on his face. Atemu was here. He was okay. And he said everything was fine now. How? Never mind. Yugi was just glad he was home all the same. For the first time that day he felt the tension drain from his body and he felt like he could finally breathe. Yugi took down the ladder and put the supplies away quickly. He washed his hands, then all but bolted up the stairs. He was there. Atemu was at the top of the stairs. He looked exhausted, his eyes rimmed with dark circles. But he was here. He was okay! Yet now that he was in front of him, Yugi hardly knew what to say.
" Atemu...?" The doctor smiled down at him and silently offered his hand. Yugi took his hand and together they walked up the rest of the stairs to Atemu's room. The door was shut behind them and Atemu walked over to the window, drawing it closed save for a little sliver of a view. He turned back around and ruby locked with amethyst.
" Yugi, I must first apologize to you before we go any further. I understand you saw what happened to Dr. Atlans today. I'm truly so, so sorry you had to see that." Yugi could only lift his shoulders in a small shrug as he walked to the bed where he sat down.
" It's alright. When it's Yami, I understand that's just the way he operates. I don't expect any less or more from him."
" You shouldn't have to feel that way, Yugi." Atemu countered, his expression grave with regret.
" So what happened? You said everything was alright now?" Atemu nodded and leaned on his cane.
" Yes. I took the liberty of speaking to an officer myself at the station earlier. I gave him my statements and the situation had been smoothed over, but barely just. Yami has caused quite enough trouble, and I intend to handle it. But before I do anything else... Yugi, I feel I owe you an explanation to all of this. So that when what comes next does, you will understand why." What comes next?! What could he possibly mean by that?!
" Atemu...what is he?" Yugi asked. The doctor didn't answer him at first. He turned around and stared at his reflection in the mirror, gripping his cane as if he meant to shatter it.
"...All of my life, I had battled a crippling illness. I was born with a disease which destroyed my immune system and made me severely crippled from birth. My legs were mere sticks and skin, not able to stand. I was always ill and could hardly move most days. In simpler terms, I was born with a severe case of Heine Medin disease." Yugi's hand flew to his mouth to surpress the gasp of shock that wanted to escape him. Babes were often killed for such a disease due to their unlikely survival. Those that lived were severely crippled, weak, pitiful souls. His doctor was born in such a way?! To look at his muscular, healthy body was to disbelieve. Through the glass of the mirror Atemu smiled wryly at Yugi's shock and chuckled hollowly. " Surprising, I know. All of my childhood was spent from a wheelchair. But my parents refused to treat me like a cripple. Family outings to the park each Sunday was mandatory. Missing a social event of any kind was unheard of. I was taken everywhere with them. My father always introduced me to strangers with pride. Mother taught me proper table manners and how to dress and present myself for any occasion.
" I always strived to prove even from my mobile prison that I was just as capable as anyone, even more so. Other children my age played in designated areas or socialized with one another at parties and gatherings. I would be situated among many adults, reciting poems and stories of the old world and countering them with philosophy and the hidden meanings of literature. Mother often said I was an old man masquerading as a child. I think...I sometimes forgot that I was in fact, a child. The only times I remembered was when I was alone, and forced to watch children my age run and play around the park. Jumping, spinning, dancing, climbing, running, skipping, swimming. Doing everything that I couldn't. I remember feeling so envious of all of them. Some days I felt I would drown in my hatred of them and the world as a whole. It didn't help that ignorant children who saw me felt very comfortable telling me just how unnatural I was." Yugi bit his lip sympathetically.
" You were bullied." He stated. Atemu shrugged this off casually, and it saddened Yugi that this was something he was used to. He should have never had to get used to it to begin with. But Atemu took this all in stride as he turned from the mirror and a small smile lit his face as he continued to talk to him.
" Seto, as you know, came to live with us. Were it not for him I think I could have become a very bitter person. He played with me when none of the others would. He stayed by my bedside on days when I was too ill to move. You wouldn't know it, but Seto can tell some of the most wonderful stories. I have often told him he should have become a novelist rather than my steward. And he was the only one who could dream dreams big enough to include me. From becoming famous magicians to the greatest con men and capers, even world explorers together. The universe and the beyond was ours. And he told his ideals in such a way that nothing he imagined me to do seemed impossible. And while Seto gave me the ability to hope and dream, even at a young age I knew I would have to push myself harder than anyone to make any dreams of ours come true. As it happens, my father was an accomplished herbalist himself. It was he who tended to my medical needs. Many a day I was in the lab helping him with different medicines and plants. I suppose it was somewhat preordained that I should follow in his footsteps. Any suggestion otherwise was unthinkable to me. I always thought that if someday I could become an herbalist like my father, then perhaps one day I would be able to find a cure.
" So I studied hard. I had my father and mother assist me with daily physical therapy so that I might stand. By the time I was sixteen, I was walking. I had to use a cane to support myself, but at the least I was able to leave that damnable wheelchair behind. Oh yes, it was very painful to walk. But the satisfaction and freedom were enough to counter my pain. By the time I earned my doctorate I was not only the head of the class, but I was assigned to be a chief resident at the hospital. I had all the access I could ever want. So, I began my experiments. I sought to manufacture a cure to the disease. Not just for myself, but for anyone born or cursed with Heine Medin. It took four years, but finally I synthesized a mixture that I was certain could be the cure. But I had to be sure. So using myself as a test subject, I began injecting myself daily with the possible cure. Imagine my delight when I began to see results. Within a week my pain was minimized. By the three month's end it was completely gone. My body began to grow stronger. My shortness of breath lessened and my periods of sickness gradually nullified. After nearly a year of treatment it got to the point in which my cane became completely obsolete. I had no need of it any longer." Atemu walked over to the bed and sat down on the ledge. His eyes, flickering with light became dark and melancholy as he stared at the lamp on the table, looking anywhere but at Yugi.
" But all medicine comes with a side effect. Some minimal, some more costly than the previous illness. My wonder cure," He said, his tone snide and heavy with sarcasm. " Had it's own side effect. Some nights I would go to sleep, then awaken to a new place and have no idea how I got there. Sometimes, my body would move without my volition. I once became irritated at an incompetent intern. while I did nothing, my hand moved independently and back handed the poor boy so hard he fell." Atemu closed his eyes and rubbed at his left temple, as if fighting off a headache. " And while I was able to salvage the incidents like such, this phenomena kept happening. But it was when I started hearing his voice that I knew this had gone far beyond my imagining. When we finally met face to face, it was in a dream. No... More like a waking vision. You can't feel pain like I experienced in a mere dream. The entity had my face, had my voice, and it seemed, all of the anger and hatred I had ever felt in my life. He called himself Yami." By this time Yugi was rendered completely still, unable to move or speak. Atemu and Yami...were the SAME PERSON?! Too shocked to speak, Yugi could only listen as Atemu continued to tell him the truth.
" He did not hide his intentions from me. He hated that his life was linked to mine and demanded his freedom. Already I feared what the consequences of that would be. And I had no idea how to achieve such a thing. But even if I ever did, I would hesitate to let him free. Of course you can imagine how well he took that. He tried to strangle me. I barely escaped with my life. When I woke the next morning, it was with a fine bruise all around my neck. I could hardly speak for a week. Had to tell the house staff and the hospital that I was ill to conceal what had really happened. Yet I found despite my wishes to contain Yami, he was still free. You see, when one of us loses consciousness, then the other takes over." He explained patiently. Yugi swallowed the hard lump in his throat and managed to find his voice.
" So... That's why I only see Yami at night, isn't it? When you go to sleep, he wakes up." He said shakily. Atemu nodded gravely at him and shifted on the bed so that he was sitting Indian style.
" Correct." Atemu stated. Yugi breathed deeply, taking it all in. Then, another thought occurred to him.
" And the cane? Why do you keep it if you don't need it?"
" Simple. Though I do not need it, there are residents who have been in that hospital before me, and they knew about my malady. Should I suddenly stop carrying it then it would arouse too many questions. After all, how could I have sprouted new legs with which to walk unless by a miracle? No, they must be lead to believe my physical status has not altered."
" And that's why you carry it!" He breathed. Atemu canted his head to the side and smiled, his expression curious. Like a parent listening to a rambling child. " I just...always wondered. You always seemed so strong to me, and much too young to need a cane. I assumed that perhaps you carried it in case one of your patients might need it." Atemu laughed, shaking his head in wonder.
" You are very kind, Yugi. Were it so that I shared your generous nature. But no, this is not the case. It's all about our own self preservation I'm afraid. And like it or not, Yami is always there. Once I realized this I knew there was no real way of stopping him. All I could do was mitigate the damage. Times when we would meet in that strange place between sleeping and waking, I would try to talk with him. Teach him. Define the meanings of compassion and conscience. He takes nothing in. Yami thrives on pain and blood. Blood seems to be his ether. Like an addict to opium, Yami's desire for bloodlust is much the same. And as our bonds grew, so did our combined strength. Now it's progressed to the point where he can slip in and out of my consciousness, and we can share conversations even though I am the one currently in control. Yet I cannot speak to him when this is reversed and he is in command. I suspect it is because of the two of us, he is admittedly the stronger. And his presence has transfigured from being ethereal to being physical. The only way to protect both him and our secret was to introduce him to the world as my twin brother, sent away only to come home at long last. You'd be surprised how many swallowed that lie with ease." Atemu said, his voice heavy with weariness.
" Protect him? From what?" Yugi asked breathlessly. Atemu tilted his head curiously to the side.
" Is it so hard to see? If it was revealed that I held the cure to Heine Medin, and then revealed the consequence of the cure, then Yami and I would be exposed. We would become nothing more than lab rats to be experimented on. Like any poor mental soul of an asylum. Lobotomies, dissections, drug therapies to name some of the worst of possibilities." His voice was grim with dark promise and Yugi had no doubt that if their secret was let out, then that was EXACTLY what would happen to them.
" Does anyone else know?" He asked timidly. Atemu nodded.
" Seto knows." Yugi jerked in surprise at this and the doctor smiled. " Oh, come now. Seto is the closest family member I have. He was privy to all of my experiments when I was hunting for the cure to begin with. Once Yami came to light he was the one who forged his legal records to make him seem legitimate."
" But...he's never spoken of Yami." Yugi pressed. Atemu waved this off casually.
" Seto doesn't consider Yami family. He just accepts that he's here now and there's no help for it. To protect me he must protect him as well. Other than that Seto's determined to ignore his existence all together. If Seto grants Yami no importance, then he has none." He stated. Yugi sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
" So I take it they've met." A nod.
" It didn't go well. But nonetheless, our secret has stayed so and safe. Until recently. Dartz is a man who misses no detail. Both a necessity and a curse for a surgeon. He always suspected there was something wrong with the way I conduct my hours in the hospital-even more so that I ' allow' Yami so much access. But most curious to him was my cane. He seemed to catch on to the fact that although I carried it, I did not need to. In short, through his own detective work he figured everything out. And to stop Yami from hurting anyone else, he was determined to go to the authorities. And he had the evidence. He stole two of my personal journals, and in them were all my confessions." Yugi opened his mouth and Atemu raised a hand to silence him. " Do not ask how he acquired them. In the words of Macbeth ' What's done is done.' He contacted the chief of police to say he had an interesting case to deploy to him. But Yami found the man first. Yes, he was the one who killed the chief. And then he took Dartz as he had always planned to. I wanted to only run away, find a way to ensure to everyone here's safety, then disappear in the night. Yami...had other plans."
" And he killed him." Yugi finished, his voice filled with both awe and fear. A relief that came with knowing; Like the wonder a child would feel when the last puzzle piece was in place. But the fear came from what the revelations brought. " He got in the way. That's what yami told me. He got in the way. That's what he was taking about, wasn't it?"
" I'm afraid so. But at present, the one most in danger here...is you." He said solemnly. Yugi felt his heart skip a beat as those hypnotic crimson eyes fixed themselves directly on him.
" Me? Why?" Atemu shook his head and sighed, the smile coming back again.
" Do you not see? It's because of the one thing we have in common. The one thing we both share: Our love for you. Yami's referred to you as his rose on more than one occasion to me." He rolled his eyes at this, as if stating some boring cliché. Yugi walked forward eagerly at this.
" Yeah! He calls me ' Rose' all the time! Why does he do that?" He asked, his voice holding the frustration and confounding nature of it all. The doctor snorted spitefully at the thought of Yami's antics.
" He knows of my fondness for caring for white roses, and he sees you as a living embodiment of the white rose. Beautiful, luminous, but difficult to care for and even more difficult to keep with you." Now it was Yugi's turn to scoff. Of all of the...that man was just...! He sighed heavily and crossed his arms. Loathe as he was to admit it, but it was seeming more and more as though Yami saw him as a possession more than a person.
But what Atemu said next would be what shocked him the most. " His restlessness has grown worse. He wants to be the only one in control. And in truth, I have wanted to separate myself from him as well. So with this selfish desire, I've been working in secret to develop a mixture to separate us entirely." Separate?! Yugi couldn't even begin to imagine it. If they were the same person, then how would a separation work?!
" How? How would it work?!"
" I don't know." A beat of silence. The man created a new solution and he didn't know how it worked? " If my theory is correct, and I think it is, then this new syrum I've created should separate his consciousness from mine. But I don't know if that would mean his consciousness would disappear, or my own. I don't want to hurt him. I don't even wish to trap him. But I know that the hold I have kept on him is necessary. Even if woefully flawed."
" But why do you have to keep hold of him?" Yugi asked, his voice incredulous. Atemu wanted them to stay trapped together?!
" You know what he's like. What he wants-what he craves. With me, the death and damage he wreaks is minimized. If he were to have his own vessel...I cannot even begin to imagine the number of bodies he would leave behind in his destructive wake." The two fell in to silence as they both thought heavily of what that would mean. Yami would be free to kill however and whenever he wanted. There would be no stopping him. Yugi felt his stomach clench painfully at the thought. Yet his heart went out to them both. Atemu, cursed to be a shield to both protect and contain Yami always. And Yami, who wanted his freedom so much. But with no idea of how to keep his freedom, or treasure it.
" So then...what happens now?" Atemu smiled hollowly and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He ran a hand through his hair and breathed deeply.
" Now I have to do what's best for everyone. Yami's actions, no, our actions have begun to draw unwanted attention. Dartz was just the first in a long line. Of this I am certain. The funny thing is... After all I have accomplished and fought for, it means nothing now. I no longer care what the world thinks of me. But I must do what I can for those I love. And Yami, he is more than just a nameless entity. He is a part of me in every way now. My other half, my brother...my son. To protect us all, I must find a way to disappear. Perhaps to the country side; Someplace away from other people where I am able to separate us in safety. Once all of this commotion has died down, I will begin to put in place my final arrangements for the house and the staff. Everyone will be taken care of. Then we go. I'll make sure Yami doesn't know where we are so that he can't find his way back here. I will ensure everyone's safety, your safety, Yugi. We are to leave, and have no one follow us away. We will disappear forever."
" NO!" Yugi lurched towards toward him and he embraced the doctor, half-sitting in his lap. Atemu's arms wound about him instantly. Yugi buried his face in to the man's shoulder, inhaling is scent of cologne and spice. They couldn't leave! Not now-not after he had just found them! Atemu likewise held the boy close as he shut his eyes tightly. Never had he felt such love for another person. Compared to Yugi, whatever few past conquests he'd had before felt like cheap imitations of what true love could be. In Yugi's arms he could feel his emotional walls shattering. His bravado and resolve were wavering. In this moment, all he wanted to do was hold the boy and never let go. Yugi sensed a change and pulled back just enough to look in to Atemu's eyes. Atemu gave him a long, hard look. Yugi gently reached out and touched his face. " Atemu?" It was his undoing. Before Yugi could even blink Atemu pulled him in to his strong arms and pressed his lips to his own. The kiss was gentle, passionate and pleading. Yugi couldn't deny him. Never him. He parted his lips ever so slightly, inviting Atemu in. Atemu slipped his tongue in to his mouth slowly, both moaning as the kiss deepened. When the need for air became evident they broke apart and rested their foreheads together. There was something between them. Something in the air around them and perhaps it was this that compelled Atemu to whisper those four dangerously tempting words to him.
" Make love to me." He breathed. Yugi's heart sped up in both excitement and nervousness at the mere thought. Atemu must have sensed his unease. He kissed Yugi's brow and then pulled back to stare deeply in to those amethyst depths that captivated him so. " I know. It is a selfish request and one that I have no right to make." He said. Yugi didn't know how to respond. Oh, he wanted to. But was he ready to? Atemu leaned forward and kissed his lips, then his cheek. " Please." His lips never left Yugi's skin as he spoke. His lips moved from his cheek to his jawline. " Please..." A kiss to his neck. A sensual nip to his throat. " Help me forget." He could never deny him.
" Yes." He breathed. That was all Atemu needed to hear of him. He grasped Yugi's hips and rolled them fully on to the bed. Yugi's body began to shiver as he was kissed again and Atemu's hands undid the buttons of his vest, and then pushed the clothing from his shoulders and off of his body. Slowly his shirt buttons were undone. One by one they came apart until his chest was exposed. Yugi mewled in anticipation and pleasure in the kiss as Atemu's hands roamed over his skin, his fingers intent on feeling every inch of his skin and every scar under his hands. Atemu gently pushed the shirt from his shoulders and down his arms where it fell to join the other piece of clothing. Atemu moved his hands slowly over his arms and chest, his fingers tracing every scar in reach. The kiss was broken and Atemu moved to kiss his neck, sucking and nipping the sensitive skin as his fingers massaged Yugi's nipples. Yugi tilted his head back and breathily sighed in pleasure in the doctor's hands. By the time Atemu undid the buckles of Yugi's pants and freed his lower half there was no denying what he wanted. But, could he? Although they had agreed to be friends...more than mere friends now, in his mind Yugi couldn't quite shake the master/servant dynamic from their evolving bonds. In the eyes of the world he was still a servant, no matter how much Atemu wanted to say otherwise. And as a servant he was to give his master everything he wanted. A servant was never allowed to say no. But he knew that if he were to ask Atemu to stop in this instant, then he would no matter how it might pain the older man.
Well, the decision was made then. Atemu's lips left his neck to stare down at the boy in his arms. He touched his face in wonder as Yugi smiled up at him. Atemu WAS his friend. He had already created a place for himself in Yugi's heart and surrendering his body to him was by no means, something unwanted. He wanted this. He wanted it very much. Atemu was smart, kind, gentle, generous, loving, sensitive, handsome and so many more things that he couldn't put in to words. How could Yugi even think of denying him? No, he wanted this. To be loved by this man in this moment was all he desired. So without any show of hesitation Yugi reached up and removed Atemu's coat from his body as Atemu slid his pants down. He undid his shirt, removed his silk tie, undid his finely pressed pants. All of the doctor's clothes fell away under Yugi's hands. Then Atemu's mouth descended on one perfect pink nipple and Yugi allowed himself to give in to the pleasure. The doctor moved slowly, carefully as he explored Yugi's body as the boy moaned under him. His hands roamed over his arms, feeling the wiry muscle and smooth skin under his hands. Once he was done with the first nipple he kissed his way to the second, never pausing his movements as he dragged his hands down Yugi's sides and then sensually began massaging is strong thighs, a body built from years of labor and hard work.
Atemu moved down Yugi's chest then, kissing the muscles and scars he encountered on his way down before stopping to nip and kiss his inner thigh. Yugi cried out in pleasure as the man worked him over. He ran his hands up and down Atemu's shoulders and stroked his hair as the man left his mark on him. He felt Atemu's soft hair though his fingers. His silky skin and his muscles taut with restrained power. Atemu stroked his legs as Yugi continued to touch him, and Atemu was all but purring at the hands that stroked him. Yugi gave a sudden gasp of surprise and pleasure when the older man moved down and began licking his swollen sac as confident hands grasped and massaged his manhood. Yugi rolled his hips, waning more contact. Atemu did him one better. Without further hesitation he spread Yugi's legs wider and began licking at Yugi's member. Yugi groaned as the pleasure washed over him, the doctor's tongue warm and soft against him. He licked the boy all over, sliding his tongue over, under and flicking against his shaft. He gave one hard lick to his tip, then slowly took Yugi fully in to his mouth and began to suck.
Yugi cried out, fisting the blankets underneath him as the man sent waves of pleasure crashing over his body. Each movement gradually became harder and faster until it felt like Atemu was trying to suck marrow from bone as he worked him. Yugi ached to move his hips but Atemu held him down with firm, gentle hands massaging him as he was restrained. He couldn't withstand it. His stomach tightened and the orgasm came hard and fast, and Yugi could only arch up and cry out as he released. Atemu drank deeply, savoring every drop of his essence. He slowly pulled back, then lovingly kissed his tip. Atemu had already proven to be a consummate lover, and Yugi didn't want to leave him with no pleasure of his own. So Yugi gently guided his lips to his own, tasting his own essence in the kiss. Then in yet another bold move that took them both by surprise Yugi grasped Atemu's biceps and flipped them over on the bed, then all but snatched the older man's nipple in to his mouth. Atemu cried out in pleasure as Yugi sucked, his deft hands roaming over his torso.
Instinct drove Yugi to grind his hips against Atemu and they both moaned in ecstasy as their members crashed and slid together under Yugi's eager thrusts. At this rate he feared he would cum before his time, so Atemu gently pulled Yugi from his chest and rolled them over so that he was on top again. Panting they looked in to each other's eyes and knew what was to come next. Atemu mentally cursed himself for not having any form of lubricant on hand. But then...he slid his fingers over Yugi's entrance. He was very wet and warm and ready for him. This might not be so hard. " Yugi, do you want to stop?" He asked, the seriousness of the question weighing each word. ' No.' Yugi thought. Hell, at this point he wasn't sure if he could stop even if he did want to.
" No." He answered aloud, and Atemu nodded in understanding.
" Then as a doctor I must ask: Are you a virgin?" He asked kindly.
"...Yes." Atemu's eyes softened even further.
" Then I'm sorry, but there's no way around it. The penetration will cause some pain to you. But I promise it will lessen and pass. Yugi," He gently stroked Yugi's entrance with his fingers, his expression soft and loving. " Are you sure you're ready for this?" There was no doubt left in the younger man's mind.
" Yes." Yugi breathed. Atemu slipped one finger in, then another. Yugi squirmed under him, his body unused to the intrusion. A third finger followed and Yugi gave a small whine of discomfort. Atemu pushed his fingers in and out, spreading them and curling them inside of him. Suddenly his fingers brushed something that sent a bolt of pleasure down his spine and he let out a shout of pleasurable agony. Atemu repeated this twice more, Yugi's cries as loud as the first as his prostate was touched. Atemu slowly extracted his fingers and licked them clean. Slowly Atemu positioned himself at Yugi's entrance until he could feel the older man's sex pressing to his opening.
" I'll try to be as careful as possible. Just...try to relax." Though his body was trembling horribly with want and nerves Yugi did as he was asked and forced his body to calm itself down. He took a slow, deep breath and then released just as slowly. Atemu leaned down and began kissing his neck and his throat softly. And then just as slowly he began pushing himself in. Yugi let out a choked cry as pain and pleasure both assaulted his senses. He clung to the older man as they fully fused together, neither one daring to move. Yugi's shaking had returned. He couldn't stop. Atemu continued to lovingly kiss the sensitive parts of his neck and chest. He massaged his hips and gradually Yugi began to relax. As the pain lessened the tension faded away easier until he could only feel soft pleasure and silky heat around him-inside of him. Only the feeling of the other man inside of him was not enough anymore. He needed more. Yugi rolled his hips, silently telling Atemu that he was ready. He moaned in pleasure as Yugi moved under him and Atemu took that as his cue. The doctor began to move his body. He slowly withdrew, then slid back carefully in to the youth. He repeated this process several times, angling each time to find that spot that would make Yugi's pain disappear completely. A cry and an eager thrust to him told Atemu he had found what he was looking for. He began thrusting in that same spot, hitting Yugi's prostate over and over again.
Pleasure unlike anything he'd ever felt shot down Yugi's back as Atemu thrust in and out of him. Yugi moved his hips, matching Atemu's thrusts to create a perfect rhythm between the two. Steadily Atemu increased his pace and both cried out in ecstasy. Yugi could feel his release coming. wanted to stay he pressure. Didn't want to lose the feeling of Atemu inside of him. Atemu could feel Yugi restraining himself. He was very close to his own release, and he didn't want to release without him. " Don't hold back, Yugi. It's alright." He breathed in his ear, and Yugi already began to feel his restraints breaking. " Let go." Atemu whispered. That was all it took. Yugi increased his own thrusts and with a growl of pleasure Atemu matched Yugi's pace. Their hips crashed together as their thrusts came harder and faster than ever before until they reached their destination. Yugi's body shook violently as he came, his insides spasming erratically as he released heavily on both of their stomachs. Atemu's member throbbed as he came with his own release and filed Yugi with all he had. They rode their wave of pleasure together and slowed their mutual thrusts until they stilled completely. Both men were left panting and shaking from their lovemaking. Atemu claimed Yugi's lips and the boy received him as their tongues slowly danced together.
The pleasure acted as a high for them both and already their members were hardening with want again. Atemu slowly slid out of Yugi and then lay down on the bed beside him. Yugi turned his head, confusion evident in his lust-clouded eyes. Atemu guided him to move over him and now Yugi was positioned over the older man. Atemu lifted his leg and Yugi's hips settled between them, his own manhood close to the doctor's entrance. Yugi looked down at the man beneath him as Atemu placed his hands on Yugi's hips. " Are you sure?" Yugi asked quietly. Atemu smiled up at him and stroked his face gently, and Yugi instantly leaned in to the touch.
" We are equals, Yugi. I want to give you as much of myself to you as you have given to me." The fact that Atemu wanted to share so much of himself with Yugi made the young man's heart swell with emotion. With a soft smile and a nod Yugi positioned his manhood to Atemu's entrance. Slowly, mimicking the doctor's earlier actions he pushed in to Atemu's body. Tight, burning heat encased him and both men moaned as Yugi sheathed himself in to the older man. Yugi leaned down and kissed his lips, deciding to let Atemu tell him when it was best to move. He didn't have to wait long. Only seconds in to the kiss did Atemu thrust his hips up, making both men cry out between their lips. They broke the kiss and Yugi pulled out steadily, then pushed back in. Atemu arched in to his body and grasped his hips as Yugi gently moved in and out, looking for that spot that had made him forget the pain. Atemu suddenly let out a shout of pleasure and thrust hard against Yugi, telling the young man that he had found what he had been looking for. Yugi increased his tempo and began moving harder and faster as their wonton bodies demanded. Atemu moved just as hard and fast, their combined efforts making their vision spin and the pleasure reach a new high. The sounds of pleasure coming from Atemu turned Yugi on that much more and encouraged him to move even harder still. He could feel Atemu's walls tightening. He knew the release was close.
Yugi put all he had in to their coming end and he thrust as hard and as fast as he could. Atemu let out a scream of ecstasy and Yugi's own shout of pleasure joined his to create their own melody. Yugi couldn't hold back. He threw back his head as he came, filling Atemu with his seed as his body shook with his release. Atemu moaned at the feeling of Yugi filling him, but he needed something more. With firm but gentle hands he stilled Yugi's hips and encouraged him to slow down and stop. Yugi obeyed willingly. Once he was still Atemu rolled them over and then lifted himself from Yugi's entrapment. Yugi sighed as Atemu lifted off of his pride, and then let out a loud moan as Atemu pushed in to his body again. His walls were still tight from his release and his body still so sensitive. Atemu resumed their pace and began thrusting in and out of the boy. Yugi reached up and clung to the man as his prostate was hit again and again. They moved as hard and as fast as ever. Before he knew it Yugl came again with a choked cry and this time Atemu came with him, his essence shooting up in to him. As quickly as it began they stopped and Atemu collapsed on top of him. Panting the two rolled on to the bed so that they were side by side, but still connected.
Atemu reached out and stroked Yugi's damp hair and Yugi purred at the touch. Yugi turned his head to kiss Atemu's wrist lovingly, and they held each other close as their hearts attempted to steady themselves. " Did I hurt you too much?" Atemu asked, concern shining in his eyes. Yugi smiled and shook his head.
" No. Hardly at all." He said, the surprise quiet but present in his voice. He had been told that sex for a virgin was supposed to be very painful the first time. He was surprised how NOT painful it really had been. They stayed still for a time, just content to be together. Then slowly Atemu removed himself and Yugi whined in discomfort. Once they were separated Atemu surprised Yugi by lifting the boy up in to his arms bridal style and carried him from the bed. " Atemu?"
" Please. Let me take care of you. I imagine your pain while minimal, is present. I can help, if you'll allow me." Atemu said. That he wanted to take care of him made Yugi's heart fill with such indescribable emotion. With a smile and a nod Yugi allowed Atemu to carry him to the bathroom down the hall, and once they entered he sat Yugi down on the steps to the tub. Atemu ran the water to a comfortable warm temperature. When the tub was full, he lifted Yugi up and together they settled in to the water. The warmth surrounding him felt like heaven to his tired body and Yugi instantly relaxed. Atemu had it so that Yugi was resting his back on the doctor's chest, and he immediately got to work. He used his strong hands to massage Yugi's neck and shoulders first, kneading the muscle. Yugi moaned sensually at the feeling and Atemu smiled at him. He let his hands travel down to his arms and then slowly he moved his hands to the boy's back and with a small touch Yugi leaned forward to allow the man access. His talented hands roamed over his spine and Yugi moaned in pleasure again. By now Atemu was becoming very aroused again-a fact not lost to Yugi who could feel his sex hardening behind him. Atemu's hardness and his sensual touches were making Yugi come back to life again.
Yugi turned in the man's arms and kissed his lips. Atemu responded passionately and they kissed each other deeply. When air became necessary they broke the kiss and Atemu chuckled. " I'm sorry, Yugi. I meant to relax you, not get ourselves worked up again." Yugi reached up and touched his face, his eyes filled with love and desire.
" Take what you need. I'm okay, I promise."
" Are you sure?" The man asked quietly. Yugi gave him a chaste kiss in reply and rolled his hips, making Atemu groan in pleasure.
" Yes. I want you." He breathed. Atemu didn't need telling twice. He didn't want to penetrate Yugi the same way as before-he was certain that part of him wasn't recovered yet. But there were other ways.
" Turn around and hold on to the rim." He instructed quietly. Yugi obeyed, not sure what the man had in mind. But his eager body was excited to find out. Atemu came up behind him and began kissing his shoulder, then began moving down. He kissed and licked along his spine and Yugi moaned in appreciation at the pleasure he was receiving. Suddenly he felt Atemu's hands spread his legs apart slowly and then his member penetrated him from behind. Yugi cried out and pressed back in to the new feeling as Atemu hit his special spot on the first try. Atemu began moving his hips to a steady rhythm and Yugi saw stars as his body was taken again. The feeling of Atemu inside of him brought his very skin to life with pleasure. Every thrust became harder and faster than the last. It was all he could do to grip the tub as securely as possible to keep himself up for this pleasurable act as he was hit inside again and again. The water sloshed and splashed around them as Atemu pumped in and out of him putting everything he had left forward. Yugi moaned loudly through gritted teeth as his inner walls began to tighten and he knew his release was coming up.
" Oh, god! Atemu!" He moaned. The sound of his name from those lips sent the man over the edge.
" Yugi!" He cried as he came heavily, his essence shooting up in to Yugi again coating his walls generously. Yugi felt himself cum as Atemu filled him and he let out a tired cry of pleasure as he came. Yugi's hold slackened and he rested his head on the rim of the tub as his body sagged down in happy exhaustion. Atemu's arms came around his waist to help support him. He felt Atemu's lips on his back as he slowly removed himself from Yugi's body. The clean up was easy, and Atemu and Yugi both lay down in the water together. Though their bodies were truly spent now their passion was very much alive. They kissed each other as they lay together. Hands roamed over every inch of the other and their kisses fluttered everywhere. But it was getting late. They regrettably, couldn't stay this way forever. Atemu emptied the tub and wrapped himself and Yugi in the clean towels left to them. Atemu lifted his lover in to his arms and Yugi nuzzled in to him as the doctor carried him back to his own room. The door was opened quietly and he settled Yugi down on his clean bedding. Another shared, slow kiss. Atemu stood up and made to leave the boy in peace.
" Can't you stay?" Yugi asked softly. Atemu turned back to him and lowered his head, his sad eyes hidden behind his golden bangs.
" I'm sorry, Yugi. I can't. Would that I could but..." He couldn't bring himself to finish the thought.
" Is it because of the hospital?" Yugi ventured curiously. Atemu didn't answer him. While Yugi got the impression that it was one reason, both knew it was not the reason why. " Until I fall asleep, then? Can you stay with me for a little while longer?" Atemu lifted his head and moved in to kiss Yugi's lips softly. Yugi put up no resistance and pressed his lips to the other man's just as tenderly. They broke apart and Atemu lay himself down beside him.
" I'll stay with you as long as I can." He promised. That was enough. Yugi rested his head on the older man's chest and Atemu encircled Yugi in his arms. This was how they stayed all through the night, even after Yugi went to sleep in his arms. His gentle breaths, his steady heartbeat. The scent of his hair. Atemu took all of these in with gratitude and held on to his lover as long as he could. It wasn't until the earliest hours of the dawn when the skies began to grey that Atemu finally consented to let him go. He got out of bed quietly and then turned to look back at his beloved sleeping so soundly. The sight broke his heart. He reached out and touched one satin lock of hair. He leaned down and kissed Yugi's head, and then he quietly slipped from the room. He returned to his own chambers long enough to dress himself properly, though his heart beat hard in his chest the whole time. His emotions erratic Atemu ran stumbling along the floor and grabbed shakily at the knobs of the doors that blocked his way. He ran though the house then to the outside where he was hit with the cold morning air. He kept running. Only when he was alone in his laboratory did he succumb to his emotions. He fell to his knees and slammed his hands down on the metal floor, heedless of the way they hurt. Tears escaped his eyes in rivers and a wail of pure despair ripped from his throat. He was damned. Being with Yugi was like being in heaven. And like a cursed angel he had been cast out to cold reality. From this moment on, no matter what he did he knew nothing could change his reality now. Yami would never let this stand. And with the police watching his every move he knew his time was up. There was no escape.
From this point on Yugi was lost to him.
And that's that! So now that Yugi knows the truth, what's going to happen next?! And as a history note, Heine Medin disease was the term for Polio back in the 1800s. Please R&R and bless your happy happiness!
