Author's Note: I do not own any characters below in my story, this is not made for profit (Well, money profit anyway)

So the Finale!1! I finally got it up. X3 Plus, what makes me even happier, is that my story got 1,000+ hits. v (Though, only 40 people actually read each chapter seeing my last two have 40 something veiws OTL) So, as this was my first story on here, I feel super proud of myself.(Though, sometimes I did have doubts since I'm still in middle school so my vocabulary isn't that well built.)

Also, did you know this was suppose to be a one-shot? (You could tell because the first chapter has a nice ending to it, clearing the problem of them unable to meet.) Bet you it's better with a couple of chapters than being just a one-shot. So, just felt like throwing that in there. ^.^

Enjoy the chapter! Please do review, I'd appreciate it.


Forever Mine

My eyes fluttered open, taking in bits of sunlight that shone through my windows. I sat up in my bed, letting out a light yawn and opening my eyes slightly, I adjusted my vision. I ran through what happened last and remembered that I was meeting Atem. I felt myself grow excited, wildly smiling at my thoughts and looked over to see the chair I put the plushie on. I saw the chair was empty, the Kuriboh was gone. That must mean… that Atemu is here, in the living! I heard my door open and I turned to look to see who it was and my heart fluttered at the sight.

"Ah, Aibou. You're finally awake I see." I could feel tears flow up in my eyes. I watched him smile warmly in my direction and soon approach me. Once he was next to me I took him into an embrace, wrapping my arms firmly around him.

"Y-you're back, my Ra, you're finally back. I have to say, truthfully, I doubted you for a bit." I soon bawled into Atem's black leather shirt. I felt him gently take a hold of a piece of my blonde bangs, soon touching his lips to it.

"I told you Aibou, I wouldn't let you out of my mind, I yearned for your presence along side me. When one yearns for something they make that yearning a reality if they truly believe in and want it… no, need it." I heard him say these words so softly and delicately through my sobbing. I didn't know why but… those words of his made me want to tear up more, to let out my emotions.

"Atemu, do you promise to never leave me again?" I couldn't help but ask. I soon looked into the other's eyes and his seemed so calm with fully exposed passion.

"Yuugi, I wouldn't even let death tear us apart. Even if you were to die, I'd commit suicide to still be with you." I heard him admit of how much he felt about me but I couldn't feel sure.

"Really? Do you really mean that, Atemu?" I uttered out.

"Really." He soon broke our embrace and gently laid into my lips. I press the tips of my fingers against his semi-masculine chest and leaned deeper into his. I could feel my eyelids become heavier with such a soothing moment that I soon allowed them to close. It felt like nothing was around us, as if reality had slipped away; All that was left was us, just loving each other and having no worries at all.

After what felt like an infinite pleasure that would never cease, we stopped. We were both panting lightly from the lack of air that came with the joyous kiss, "That was wonderful, Yuugi." Atem said in-between gasps. I was so happy at his words, that he found that loving kiss between us wonderful.

"You're wonderful." I uttered out in a husky voice meant to be unheard. I could hear the other lightly snickering, which meant he probably heard by corny quote. I felt my cheeks become rosy but that stopped once he took a hold of my hand.

"I wanted to give you a few things, Yuugi. Remember how you were asleep for a while? Well, I went and got you a few things." He soon headed for the doorway and I soon took a seat on the chair the plushie was on. I waited a few minutes and soon enough he brought in a semi-transparent white bag that was tied with blue string. It was the size of my hand so it must have had a few trinkets or something in there.

He soon sat next to me but on my bed and handed me the plastic bag. I cupped my hands and let Atem drop it in them, letting out a small crinkling sound from the plastic. I looked at it a second, hesitating from opening it, it looked so perfect the way it was. Though, I knew that it would be rude to not so I shoved the bag onto my left and raised my right up. Once it was leveled with the string I pinched a lose strand between my pointer and thumb. I slightly pulled the string and soon the whole thing was off, the bag's inside now slightly revealed.

I tugged at the opening and made it larger and my eyes grew bright at what I was seeing. The bag was filled with sugary goodies like fudge brownies, mochi and chocolate cookies. I became super excited at the sight and flung my arms around the other and praised him many times.

"Yuugi…" He started and I looked into his eyes, "…don't tell me you're having a sugar rush at just the sight of the sugary pastries." I could feel my cheeks blush at his words, "Anyway, I have another gift I'd like to give you." Atemu soon took a hold of my hand and soon leaded me out of the room. We soon arrived in my living room and he seated me on the couch. He went out of a passage way for a few seconds before bringing something back.

What he had brought in was the white Egyptian Lotus flower. I blinked a few times, thinking it was just my vision playing tricks in me. Though, I accepted that it was real once he held it out to me and I took it in my hand. It was such a great sight. I couldn't help but wonder why this particular flower so I spoke up, "Atem-" I saw that I caught his attention and I continued, "- why do you give me this particular flower, why a lotus?" Atem soon took a seat next to me and we made eye contact.

"This is because Yuugi, the lotus symbolizes the sun god and new creation. This is because of it's behavior to open up and rise with the sun, the moon makes it close up and sink back. The god which I was named after, Atum, was the god that was said to come from a lotus which means…" I came to what he meant once he paused his words. He was giving this flower to me because… it meant that he symbolize the flower, this was his new beginning.

I couldn't help but smile at what he said but soon he opened his mouth to speak once more, "Though, I'll never sink back like the Lotus flower. I'll always be open to you and be there even when things get dim." He finished with a tender smile on his face. He soon took me into an embrace and I obliged, wrapping my arms around him, "I promise."
