Pairing: YxA at the request of silvergolddragon
[[Yami to Atem]]
[Atem to Yami]
The Millennium Puzzle was a mystery few had managed to unravel, full of secrets both glorious and terrible.
Deep within the labyrinth of the puzzle, a thick door inscribed with hieroglyphics glowed with an unnatural golden light. Small cracks formed a network of channels across the surface of the door. With a final pulse of light – the door collapsed, releasing a furious Pharaoh from his imprisonment.
"Yami, what's wrong?"
Yugi was concerned. One moment Yami was laughing at the movie they had picked, the next the blood had drained from his face and he was white as a ghost.
"Aibou, I apologize, but I must go."
Yami disappeared, and at the same time, Yugi felt the connection between them slam close. Curious, but respectful of the other's privacy, Yugi returned to the movie.
The spirit of the millennium puzzle – now one of two spirits of the millennium puzzle – strengthened his defenses and prayed the magic would keep his other self from escaping the labyrinth.
[You cannot chain me]
Yami grimaced and pushed more of his energy into the protections.
A thin cord of awareness streamed into his mind, a new connection formed between him and the Pharaoh. Try as he might, Yami could not find it in himself to break the link.
[Release me!]
From the back of his mind, a gentle query from the more established connection to Yugi.
Blanching, Yami saw a thin line of power stretching out from the puzzle, seeking out the third party in this triad of souls.
Unable to move from his position as the prison guard, Yami could only watch, horrified, as a bond was formed between Yugi and Atem.
[What is this? Such a bright light.]
A purr of pleasure in his mind as Atem felt for the connection. Frantic, Yami dropped the barriers and pushed himself between his two other selves.
[[You cannot have him]]
Mocking laughter.
[I will have what I want]
Yugi felt distinctly like a favorite toy caught between two dogs fighting for dominance.
On one side, Yami was smothering his mental awareness – the connection between them was so open that Yami's thoughts flowed freely into his mind.
On the other side, a foreign presence he could not recognize. To his astonishment, a tether of awareness had attached itself to his mind. The other end of this awareness made his heart beat faster in fear. It – he – was ancient, regal and powerful.
[[ENOUGH!]]
The words had such a finality even Atem could not object.
[I see. The little prince thinks himself a king.]
A growl of warning.
[[You will return to the puzzle, Atem. You are no longer needed.]]
Yami could feel a smug confidence coming across the bond. A second later, a form materialized in front of him. Yami's mouth suddenly went dry. Wide shoulders, tanned skin, and eyes dark with kohl. A god made flesh.
The Pharaoh smirked - and crushed his mouth to Yami's.
Where before there had been anger, now a fierce passion took its place. Digging his nails into Atem's broad shoulders, Yami growled deep in his throat, fighting for control of the kiss.
Thin streams of blood ran down Atem's chin as kisses turned into nips, the edge of pain increasing the pleasure for both.
Finally regaining control of his senses, Yami pushed the Pharaoh away. The push was rather weaker then he had intended, but it succeeded in the intended result.
Atem's eyes flashed possessively.
"You will do quite nicely, I like my pet with claws"
Outside the puzzle, Yugi felt only the echo of the actions that were occurring between his partners, but it was strong enough to send waves of heat through his body.
"Not fair. When's my turn?"
