Chapter 10
There was a sudden growl and the walls shook when Yugi grabbed Atemu and pushed him to the wall. Atemu screamed as he thrusted in hard.
Yugi growled when he was grabbed and flung against another wall, looking to see who had ruined his fun.
/What do you want?!/ Yugi snapped.
/Quit harming your mate. You've terrified Yami and now the boy keeps trying to run away/ Amara growled.
/Well maybe he shouldn't interfere with my mating/ Yugi growled and pushed her away and quickly went back to Atemu.
/He is your mate now too! What would you do if Yami ran away and any child he conceived falls into the wyvern's hands/ Amara replied with a cold glare as she blocked Yugi from getting to her son.
/Then we'll get it back, both of them. You know this happens every mating season with me, Amara!/ Yugi hissed as he mounted once again on the fallen prince.
Amara suddenly looked around. /Where's Yami?/ Amara suddenly asked.
/I don't know, my queen/ Seth said only to see Yugi get flown off of Atemu by a grey dragon.
Atemu whimpered, turning to see who was protecting him from his own mate.
He turned to see Yami there, panting but not shaking. Yugi growled and got up. /Get. Away. From. My. Mate/ he snarled.
/I thought that I was your mate too/ Yami said, trying to keep the hurt out of his voice.
/You are but I'm mating him now. You don't know what I could do in the future if I don't let this surge go and mate with him/ Yugi said in almost a pleading voice.
/But you're hurting him. Please hurt me if you have to but don't hurt him anymore. He doesn't deserve this/ Yami said sadly.
/Yami, you don't understand. I need to do this with him or the surge won't go. I don't know why but it just is/ Yugi said as he was about to pounce again.
/I don't get it. Why must it be him?/ Yami asked.
/I don't know Yami, but please!/ Yugi pleaded. He was becoming desperate.
/Try doing it with me. If it doesn't work then I won't interfere anymore/ Yami said just as desperately.
Yugi growled and pounced on Yami. He grabbed his neck and entered him as he began to pound into him, but it didn't feel right.
Yami bit his lip, not fighting as he let Yugi do whatever he wanted or needed to do.
Yugi sighed as he let go of his neck. /Yami, I'm sorry but this urge is suddenly with Atemu/ Yugi said as he pulled out, his eyes darkening when he said Atemu name.
Yami nodded sadly, disappointed that he couldn't help the two.
He turned into his human form and walked away from the mates before it got nasty again.
Atemu clenched his eyes as Yugi entered him once again. /Y-Yami, please don't leave...me/ he pleaded.
Yami turned to him sadly and slowly walked back to Atemu, hiding his face in Atemu's neck.
Atemu slowly turned his neck since Yugi latched onto it and nuzzled the boy gently, /I'm sorry, so sorry.../ Atemu whimpered.
"It's not your fault. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you," Yami said sadly as tears ran down his pale cheeks.
Atemu whimpered. /I-It's not your fault. This a-always happens every m-mating season. Yugi somehow gets t-too rough for me but at the time h-he doesn't care. That's why I just let him u-use me for his surges/ he cried out as Yugi pounded into him faster and harder as his end came.
Soon, Yugi calmed down and released his hold on the prince's neck and pulled out. Atemu collapsed.
"Why don't I please him?" Yami asked as he sat down and snuggled against Atemu, gently stroking Atemu's scales.
Atemu purred weakly. /I'm not sure but the surge controls him. Whatever it wants it gets. Please don't get offended/ he pleaded as he whimpered.
"I'll try," Yami said softly, holding his funny feeling tummy.
Atemu sniffed his mate and smiled. /Yami, I think you have a clutch/ he said happily before Atemu quickly stood and ran outside, suddenly heaving.
"What's a clutch?" Yami asked as he followed Atemu outside.
Atemu coughed. /When you get pregnant/ he said before turning his head and vomiting again.
"Are you pregnant?" Yami asked as he rubbed Atemu's scaly tummy in an attempt to sooth it.
Atemu purred and collapsed on his side. /Possibly/ he replied as he curled around himself, not liking the sick feeling he has.
Yami walked around so that he could rub Atemu's underbelly, humming softly as he did.
Atemu purred.
Soon, Isis walked up to the duo. "My prince, may I check on you?" she asked, motioning to his stomach and very torn entrance.
Atemu nodded. /How did you know that you were needed?/ Atemu asked.
"My prince, I know Yugi is always rough on you every mating season. When you sleep I come in and help you," Isis said as he prodded Atemu torn entrance, making Atemu whimper and pull back.
Yami gently rubbed Atemu's scales, trying to calm his lover down.
Isis sighed and began to do her exam. "Alright. Your entrance is very torn. I don't want you to move at all for at least five days. Now, let me see your stomach," she said, moving.
Yami watched her while keeping his lower half hidden, not wanting Isis to try and check him like she did Atemu.
Isis smiled, "My prince, it looks like you're pregnant too," she said as he gently put pressure on the prince's stomach.
Yami smiled brightly. "That's great!" Yami exclaimed as he hugged Atemu's neck.
Atemu smiled and nuzzled Yami. /Yeah, it is. What about Yami?/ Atemu said as he looked at both Isis and Yami.
Yami looked nervous as Isis came over to him, Isis noticing blood staining Yami's pants.
"Yami, I know you also have a torn entrance. I won't check it out if you don't want me to. Just put a cream I'll give you later on every day until it heals. Just let me check if you're pregnant. I may know why Yugi has those surges," Isis said.
Yami let Isis come closer. "He doesn't have them with me," Yami said softly as Isis gently pressed on his stomach.
Isis frowned as she felt around him. "Yami, Yugi doesn't have those surges with you because those surges are to make Atemu pregnant with his child. I'm sorry but you're not pregnant," Isis said gently.
Yami nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Isis," Yami said before he turned away and walked away from the two, his smile slipping away.
Atemu frowned and tried to get up. /Y-Yami?/ he whimpered as he limped to his mate.
"Rest, Atemu," Yami said with a smile, stroking Atemu's scales. "I just need a walk."
Atemu whimpered and laid back down, tears began to gather as he watched Yami walk off until he was out of distance.
/Atemu?/
/Yes?/ Atemu asked as he turned to find the voice.
/What's wrong? Why are you crying?/ his mate asked as he came and lied down next to Atemu.
/Yami walked away and left me/ Atemu said sadly.
Yugi leaned over and licked Atemu's tears away as they came. /I'm sorry that I was rough with you both. Why did he leave?/ he asked.
/It's alright, you didn't mean to. He was excited when he found out I was pregnant but he got weird when he found out that he wasn't/ Atemu replied.
Yugi brightened. /You are!? Atemu, this is great!/ he said as he licked Atemu again. /I'm going to see if I can find our little mate, okay? But first, you're going back to the cave./
Atemu smiled and nodded. /Can you help me back?/ Atemu asked.
Yugi nodded and gently nudged Atemu, letting his mate lean on him as they walked.
Atemu smiled as he walked. /Do you think our baby will be a boy or a girl?/ Atemu asked.
/I think it's going to be a girl but either is great/ Yugi said and let Atemu lay down. /I'll be right back and hopefully with Yami./
Atemu nodded. /Please try and find out what's wrong/ Atemu said.
/Of course, my love/ Yugi said and nuzzled Atemu before flying off into Yami's direction.
He smelt Yami's scent coming from between two rocks that only a slightly small human could fit through.
Yugi landed and changed form before slowly and quietly entering.
He saw a pond in the cave with a naked Yami curled up in it, soft sobs echoing throughout the small cave.
Yugi's heart broke at the sight as he quickly went to his mate.
Yami jumped when he noticed someone entering the pool, turning to Yugi with tears still running down his cheeks.
"Yami?" Yugi called in worry.
"Y-Yes, Yugi?" Yami asked as he quickly tried to wipe his tears away.
"What's wrong, baby?" Yugi asked as he made his way over.
Yami shook his head. "It's stupid. I shouldn't be crying," Yami said sadly.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Yami shook his head no and hugged Yugi, breaking down again.
Yugi held onto Yami as he cried, rocking then both back and forth.
Yugi continued this for a long time before he felt Yami go limp in his arms and his breathing even out, looking down with a smile when he saw Yami fast asleep.
Yugi gently stood up and held onto Yami as he left the place, turning back into a dragon and flying to the cave.
Atemu looked up and smiled when he saw Yugi enter the caves with Yami. /Is he alright? Where did you find him? Did he tell you what was wrong?/ Atemu asked before he stopped with a blush.
Yugi shook his head. /I'm not sure, near a pond between two boulders and no/ he answered, landing.
Atemu sighed and gently took Yami from Yugi, holding him between his paws. /He's been crying/ Atemu noted sadly.
Yugi nodded and went to Atemu, curling himself around him. /Let him rest before he speaks. /I think it'll take a while until he tells us/ he said before closing his eyes. It was then they snapped open and he gasped.
/What's wrong?/ Atemu asked.
/Realization just hit me/ Yugi muttered.
/What did you realize?/ Atemu asked, looking a little lost.
/That you're pregnant, Atemu/ Yugi said as he looked at his mate.
/We knew that. Is there something else about that?/ Atemu asked.
/No, it's just, a little surprising. I think those surges had to do something with it/ Yugi said as he nuzzled his mate.
Atemu smiled. /I don't understand why those surges only go after me and not Yami/ Atemu said as he hugged Yugi.
/Me either, but I feel like its going to happen soon/ Yugi said as he lowered himself and Atemu's stomach, rubbing his head against it.
Atemu purred happily as Yugi nuzzled him, lying his head down.
Soon, there was a groan heard.
Yugi turned to the owner of the groan, smiling at him.
"Atemu? Yugi?"
/We're here/ Atemu said with a smile as he nuzzled Yami.
"I'm sorry..." Yami whimpered.
/It's alright, Yami. Do you want to talk about it?/ Yugi asked.
Yami shrugged, "I guess that I just also wanted to be pregnant..." he whispered very softly.
Yugi's eyes softened. /I'm sorry, Yami/ Yugi said softly, feeling a little sad for the boy.
"It's not your fault. I guess I was overreacting," Yami whispered again. "Hey, where's Ivory?"
/I think he's with my mother or Isis/ Atemu replied. /And it's alright. I can understand why you got upset./
Yami smiled, "Yeah. I can't wait until Ivory knows. And the others," he said.
/How long is left in the mating season?/ Atemu asked.
/Well, it started a week ago so about seven or six more weeks/ Yugi replied.
"That's a long mating season," Yami commented.
Yugi chuckled. /It's every two months/ he said.
"You would be mating most of your life," Yami said with a smile.
Yugi chuckled. /Yep, and that means we could try for a child another time, Yami/ he said.
Yami nodded and looked slightly sad. "What if I don't end up pregnant?" Yami asked.
/Then my surges will continue if you don't. That's what happened with Atemu and I/
"I hope next time I get pregnant," Yami said with a smile.
/Yeah, but remember, it'll take a few tries before. Anyway, how long were you pregnant Atemu? You couldn't have grown the egg that fast in one day/ Yugi asked.
Atemu shrugged. /I don't know/ Atemu replied.
"Wait! Atemu was already pregnant?" Yami asked in shock.
/He had to. There was no way the egg could've grown in an hour!/
Yami smiled. "That's interesting. I wonder how long until we have another baby in the house," Yami said.
The two smiled and agreed.
Yami snuggled into Atemu's arm. "Can I have that cave I was in?" Yami asked.
Atemu nodded. /Of course, but I would like to see it first/ he said.
Yami nodded. "Okay, Ate'. We can look when you are better," Yami said.
Atemu nodded and winced when he moved. /Where's that cream Isis said she had?/ he whimpered.
Yami shrugged. "Do you know, Yugi?" Yami asked.
/She said she'll have i-/
/PAPA! MAMA! DADA!/
Yami sat up and smiled when Ivory excitedly bounced over to them.
Ivory jumped onto them with something in his mouth.
"What's in your mouth?" Yami asked.
/Something Isis gave me to give you! Am I a big brother!?/
"You will be soon. Atemu's pregnant," Yami said softly.
Ivory squealed and jumped around, jumping on Atemu happily.
