This chapter is more of a 'calm before the storm' chapter.
so, filler-ish, but still imperative to the story.
Enjoy!
Also, LIME IS INDICATED BETWEEN THE BOLD!
When I woke up the next morning, Yami was still asleep. Last night….last night had been amazing, but today….today brought me back to reality, when last night had been a dream.
Although four years apart, Yugi and I shared a birthday. When I was younger, I remember. I was always angry for a while. I didn't want to share my birthday with my little brother. But, as Yugi grew up, I began to love sharing my birthday with him. We started a tradition. We'd both wake up on our birthday, go get our parents up, and we'd wolf our breakfast down, so we could immediately open our presents. Out cke was always half chocolate, half red velvet. We'd blow out the candles together.
When mom and dad passed on, it was Atsu who made our cake, and got us both a couple presents.
This year was my first year without Yugi.
I ascended into the air, and stated to fly around, to try and get my mind off of it. I flew to Liel's house and landed, and knocked on the door. After a while, Liel opened the door.
"Atem? What's wrong?" Liel asked.
"I just...I just need to escape for a while," I said softly. Liel let me into her house. Once I was in, her cellphone started to ring. She picked it up, and I heard Yami's frantic voice clearly.
"Atem's missing! I have no idea where he is!" Yami yelled.
"Calm down, Yami. He's over here. He seems upset about something, though," Liel said, glancing over at me. Yami seemed to calm down immediately, because I couldn't hear what he had said next. After a while, Liel hung up, and sat next to me. "Can you tell me what's wrong?" she asked gently.
"It's my birthday today. My younger brother and I shared a birthday, too. It's my first one without him," I said softly.
"How old are you?" Liel asked.
"106. Yugi'd be 102 if he were still here," I said in a soft voice.
"What are some of the things you two would do on your birthday?" Liel asked. I told her all of Yugi and I's birthday traditions, smiling as I did so, remembering the times when he was still alive.
"What else did Yami want?" I asked after finishing with my explanations.
"He wanted to know why you were here, and when you were coming home, but I didn't know the answer to those questions. Are you going to fly around a while before going back?" Liel asked.
"Yeah. I'm sorry for barging in on you like this," I said.
"No, no. It's alright," Liel smiled. She gave me a hug, and I left her house. I circled over the woods, and even sat on a high-up tree branch for a while. I debated about seeing if I could fly back up to my original home, but decided against it. Back there was where I wanted to be the least, today. I flew home and sat on the edge of the balcony. Not even two minutes later, I felt Yami's arms snake around my waist. His lips found their way to my cheek multiple times. I leaned back on him, burying my face in the crook of his neck.
"I was worried about you. You should've told me you were leaving for a while," Yami said, kissing my forehead softly.
"You were asleep. I didn't want to bother you," I said.
"I heard it was your birthday today," Yami said.
"Liel told you everything, didn't she?" I asked.
"Yeah. It was good, though. She said you were upset about something. And now I know why you are," Yami said. I nodded silently. "What do you want for your birthday, that I can do for you?" Yami asked.
"Can you bring back the dead?" I asked. Yami sighed.
"I knew you were going to ask that. I can't bring him back, Atem," Yami said quietly. He planted soft kisses on my closed eyes. Being like this. Leaning on him, with him holding me; my head buried in his neck. It was relaxing. Calming, even. I felt him gently rest his forehead on mine.
"I love you," I whispered.
"I love you, too, my sweet angel," Yami whispered back.
"For my birthday present, Yami, can we do it again?" I asked.
"Hm?" Yami asked.
"I want to do it again. Last night was a dream. It was amazing. I want to do it again," I said.
"Now that, my darling, I can do," Yami said, kissing me.
That night, after dinner, Keiji and Elliot were about to stand up, when Yami shook his head.
"What?" Keiji asked.
"We have something special we're doing. Teter, can you please go and get it?" Yami asked. Teter nodded, and went back to the kitchen. After a while, she came out, carrying a cake.
"What is this for? Keiji asked. I looked to Yami. He took my hand.
"It's Atem's birthday today, so, I had a special cake made for him," Yami said. On the cake, as it was placed in front of me, there were six candles on one side, and two on the other. I looked to Yami again, and he nodded.
"Is this...also what I think it is?" I asked. When Yami nodded, my vision started to go blurry as I felt tears start welling up in my eyes. I heard Yami singing softly, but it was faint, as I thought of Yugi looking at the cake. After Yami's faint singing ended, he kissed my cheek.
"Happy birthday, my sweetling," he whispered.
Happy Birthday, Yugi… I thought as I blew out the candles.
That night, Yami and I were laying in his bed, cuddling.
"Thank you, Yami. For that cake," I said.
"You're welcome, my angel," Yami smiled, planting a soft kiss on my lips.
"Yami…? Could...Could we maybe...do it now?" I asked nervously. Yami, again, kissed my lips, and I took it as a yes.
~LIME STARTS HERE~
Yami pulled me closer as kissed. As he licked my lips, asking for entrance, I took my wings out. When we broke apart for air, Yami went to my left wing, and started to nip the edges, making me moan loudly. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment. As he did, his hand found its way to my right wing, and my moans got louder. After what seemed like an eternity, Yami stopped, and removed my pants and underwear.
"I've barely done anything," Yami teased. I shot a glare at him, panting heavily. Yami only smirked, and switched sides, making me moan again. His free hand went under my shirt, and started rubbing one of my nipples.
"Y-Y-Yami…...I c-c-can't….!" I exclaimed. Yami stopped his movements on my wings, and I panted heavily again. Yami started to kiss my neck, and with him so close, I started to remove his pants. Yami nipped my pulse point, and my breath caught in my throat. I managed to get Yami's pants down to his knees, and I started to rub his clothed member with my hands. I heard Yami letting out small grunts of pleasure as I did so.
Yami rolled up my shirt, and started rubbing my nipples. I moaned, and he captured it and my lips in a deep kiss. After we broke apart for air, Yami looked at me.
"Are you ready, my angel?" Yami asked. I nodded. "Well then, again, all I want to hear out of your mouth is either moaning or you screaming my name," Yami said.
~LIME ENDS~
A few months had passed, and soon, it was almost time for Elliot and Keiji to leave. I could tell Yami was looking forward to that day happily.
About a week before they left, at dinner, Yami said he had some bad news.
"I've been getting a lot of complaints about a section leader, and I need to leave tonight to see what the issue is. If things go according to plan, I'll be home in just a few days. It might even take a week. I'm sorry I can't spend your last week with you," Yami said to Keiji.
"It's fine," Elliot said, smiling softly.
"Could you two keep an eye on Atem for me, while I'm gone?" Yami asked.
"I can't go with you?" I asked.
"Not this time. A lot of the complaints I'm getting are saying she's very violent, and I don't want you getting hurt," Yami said, kissing my head.
"We can watch him until you get back," Keiji confirmed, slapping a hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you guys," Yami smiled.
After dinner, Yami and I were in his room, and I was watching him pack up.
"I'd bring Teter with me, but, I can't. This woman was Teter's past owner, but, she reated her so terribly, I took her in," Yami said to me.
"Who're you going to take, then?" I asked.
"I'm taking a different maid with me, and I'm also taking Fiore with me. Koen's going to stay here, and watch over my brother and Elliot. He's to report to me immediately if they try to hurt you in any way, shape, or form," Yami said. He kissed my head again, and shut his suitcase.
"I love you. Be careful," I said, kissing him softly.
"I love you, too. And I'll be careful. You be careful, too," Yami said. He gently cupped my cheeks, and kissed me. I put my arms around his waist as he licked my lips. Just as our kiss was heating up, Fiore opened the door, and we broke apart immediately.
"I don't mean to interrupt, your Majesty, but, we need to leave soon," Fiore said.
"Alright. Thank you," Yami nodded. Fiore shut the door, and Yami motioned for me to come over to it quietly. We pressed our ears against the door.
"Be careful while you're gone?"
"You know I will be. I'll be thinking of you the whole time."
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
Yami smiled at me, and took my hand.
"I'll be back as soon as I can," Yami promised, kissing the back of my hand.
"Alright. I love you," I said.
"I love you, too," Yami said. After a few more minutes, Yami, Fiore, and a maid named Lyndi were gone.
~K POV~
"Say, Elliot. What do you say for tomorrow? That foolish guard can't watch us forever. He needs to drink and to sleep, as well. Early morning should be perfect," I said.
"I like the sound of that," Elliot said, walking over to me. I put my arms around his waist.
"Should I give you the honors of doing it, or, should I do it?" I asked.
"I'd love to, if you'll let me," Elliot said.
"Oh, I will. Promise," I said, kissing his cheek.
Could someone draw that balcony scene for me? I'd love that. Like I said, I'm a hopeless romantic, so that balcony scene really made me happy, typing it.
Oh I can't wait to type chapter 11!
On the other side, I've recently finished DMMD, and just started watching the indirect sequel, Re:Connect.
I love this so much, and am even considering cosplaying Virus for next year's con.
Also, I have a story I really want to type, but, I can't figure out how to start it. So, once I figure out how, be on the look out!
Anyway, until chapter 11!
