Pairing: Yami x Atemu x Yugi

Dedicated to Kuro Ookami Hatake

Disclaimer: I own copies of the manga. Nothing else.

Summary: Yugi is light, Yami is dark, Atemu is what?


"Atemu?"

"Hn? What is it, Yugi?" the ancient pharaoh asked the light whose head rested in his lap.

"What are you?"

" "Eh?" " Atemu and Yami, who was leaning against the monarch's shoulder, asked in unison.

"What are you?" Yugi repeated. "If I'm the light and Yami's the dark, what does that make you?"

"I don't know," Atemu mused, "I've never really thought about it."

"Well," Yami offered, "you're not as dark as I can be, and you're not as light as Yugi, you're somewhere in between."

"Not 'somewhere'," Yugi countered, "He's right in the middle, he's a perfect blend, I mean, look at his eyes."

"My eyes?"

"Yeah, it's like somebody took mine and Yami's color and mixed them together," the hikari explained.

Yami peered intently into Atemu's eyes and saw that they were indeed a perfect blend of Yugi's amethyst and his own crimson. "Huh, I never noticed that before."

"But what's that make Atemu?" Yugi asked again.

"I have no idea," Yami admitted. "Maybe-"

"I know," Atemu interrupted the two.

"You do?"

The pharaoh nodded, "I just figured it out. I am when shadows lengthen and grow as light begins to fade." He smiled at the slightly puzzled looks of his lovers, "I am the twilight."

Yami snorted, "You're so cheesy, Atemu."

"So are you, Yami."

"You can't talk either, aibou!"

All three glared at one another for a moment before falling about laughing. By chance Atemu glanced out the window.

It was twilight.

He grinned.

A/N Bah! Curse my need for plot! I really wanted to do a frozen Atemu after his first snowfall, then Yami and Yugi draw a warm bath and steamy events follow but NNNNOOOOO! I have to write something with a meaning!

That and the plot bunny for that story ran away from me… --"
