Chapter Ten: The Kiss

Yami stepped up to the staircase, slightly nervous.

He had never kissed anyone, but he loved Yugi and would do anything for him. Yami drew in a deep breath and opened the door to Yugi's bedroom, where Ryou said he was.

He spotted Yugi laying on the bed in the center of the stage, his beautiful purple eyes closed peacefully. His hands were clasped over his chest, and he looked as if he hadn't moved in years.

Yami blushed upon seeing his fiancee like that. He knew what he had to do, but his body refused to move. Yami gulped in a deep breath and then exhaled.

Yami walked over to Yugi and stared down a him, a lustful look in his crimson eyes.

"You poor thing... trapped in an endless sleep. Allow me to... awaken you..." he whispered carefully, starting to lower his lips to Yugi's.

He was just an inch away now. He could feel Yugi's warm breath on his lips. Just one millimeter. Yami tried to control himself from crushing his lips against that of his fiancee.

Finally, Yami closed the gap between their lips gently. His eyes were closed, and he was certain that Yugi hadn't awoken from it yet. Yami drew in an inward breath and started to draw back.

'Maybe this won't work...' he thought.

/YOU FUCKING IDIOT! OF COURSE IT WILL!!/

Yami gasped at the voice in his head. He could feel a familiar tug, but he wasn't sure. He glanced around and tried to pinpoint where he had heard the voice before. Suddenly, it clicked.

'Bakura?' he thought.

/Who else? The fucking tooth faerie!? Now listen, you better kiss him or I will snap off your dick and force you to become a girl! Do I have to come up there and do that!?/

//I liked it better when you were dead.//

/Fuck you, O Prince!/

Yami rolled his eyes and realized that Bakura was right. He went down and gently brushed his lips against Yugi's, and then made the kiss firm. He moaned and ran his tongue over Yugi's lips.

Yugi moaned softly, and when Yami drew back, Yugi's eyes opened softly, filled with exhaustion and sleep.

Yugi glanced over at Yami and smiled warmly.

"Y-Yami..." he whispered softly. He reached his hand up and cupped Yami's cheek with his hand. Yami placed his hand over Yugi's and chuckled warmly, tears of joy filling his eyes.

Yugi smiled.

"Did you miss me?" he asked.

"More than you know," Yami whispered before he and Yugi kissed once again, Yami climbing on top of Yugi and pressing himself against him. Yugi moaned and threw his head back.

Yami smiled into the kiss and continued it again.

He and Yugi stayed like that for Ra knows how long, just keeping their lips locked together.

PUZZLESHIPPING 4 EVER

[Several Days Later]

Mana clapped happily as she saw Yugi step out into the ballroom floor with Yami right by his side. Solomon was clapping for his son, and all of them were happy that their prince was all right.

The kingdom had forgiven Bakura, especially since he used his magic to fix any damages he had caused, freed any souls he had taken away, and he fixed and regrew all the plants he had killed.

Yugi took Yami's hand and drew him close. Yami wrapped his arms around Yugi and smirked.

"Promise not to fall asleep on me?" he asked. Yugi chuckled.

"I'll try my best," he whispered.

Yami nodded and cuddled Yugi as close as he could. Meanwhile, while they were holding each other, the four faeries were watching from the top of the balcony, looming over the ballroom floor.

Malik sighed.

"I love happy endings," he said. He looked to the crowd and spotted an egyptian servant, whom he knew was named Marik. Malik giggled and then turned to his fellow faeries.

"Excuse me," he said before fluttering down. He talked with Marik for a moment, and then they kissed and started dancing together.

Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Damn, he works fast," he said.

Jonouchi rolled his eyes and then looked down and spotted another servant, named Kaiba. He cleared his throat and went down to Kaiba, and asked him to dance.

Kaiba agreed and went to the floor with Jonouchi.

Bakura rolled his eyes.

"I'm surrounded," he said with a sigh.

Ryou giggled and laced his arms around Bakura's waist and drew him close. Bakura held Ryou close to his body, and they both swayed gently back and forth to the music that played.

"Promise not to leave me?" Ryou asked.

"I'll do my best," Bakura said with a joking grin. Ryou chuckled and held Bakura close once again.

[Back at the Ballroom Floor]

Yami dipped Yugi and brought him back up, and Yugi glanced around. He saw Ryou and Bakura dancing, he saw Marik and Malik still making out, and then he saw Kaiba and Jonouchi in a dancing contest.

Yugi smiled at Yami.

"Thank you for awakening me. I... dreamed about you..." he whispered.

Yami smiled.

"Really? I dreamed of the day we would be together. And now it has happened," he said with a chuckle. Yugi blushed and then held onto Yami's waist and laid his head on his shoulder.

"Mmm..." Yugi moaned softly and slightly sleepily. "I love you, my beloved Yami..." he whispered.

Yami smiled and softly brought his lips to Yugi's. He drew back and then flashed Yugi a smile that almost made the star-haired prince turn to jell-O. Yami went to Yugi's ear.

"I love you, too..." he whispered.

Yugi sighed and held onto Yami. He thanked Bakura mentally for turning evil. He knew that this was all Bakura's doing, and even if it was for evil reasons, Yugi thanked him for doing it.

Because if he hadn't...

Then Yami and Yugi would have never been this close.
