Seth`s Pov

After Atem had taken Yugi back to his chambers and Yami went to the stables, I took Jono`s hand and pulled him from the gardens

"Hey! Watch it! Seth stop pulling me." Jono ordered, I ignored him and pulled him into my chambers and closed the door before pushing him up against it

"Hey Seth what are you-Mmph!" I cut him off by kissing him which he returned...I pulled away after a few minutes and I leant my head against his

"I`ve wanted to do that for so long, you don`t know how much it`s killed me not to throw you onto the bed and kiss you sense-less."

"Then...why didn`t you?"

"I was afraid."

"Of what?"

"You...I was afraid that you would reject me." He laughed

"You know...I was afraid of that as well, but I've loved you since you first became my master." I grimaced

"I hate that word."

"I know." I smiled and kissed him again

Yami`s Pov

after I had finished in the stables I headed toward Atem`s chambers when I bumped into Marik and Bakura

"Yami, where are Ryou and Malik?" Bakura asked

"They are still in the stables, is Atem still in his chambers with Yugi?"

"Should be, we haven't seen them since." Marik answered

"Thanks."

"No problem." I carried on down to Atem`s chambers and was about to go in when I was stopped by two councilmen

"You there!" I turned to face them

"Yes?"

"Where is the Pharaoh?" one of them asked

"I believe he is in his chambers with Prince Yugi." I nodded towards the door I was stood next to

"Get him." I nodded and walked inside the room before closing the door and letting out a breath of relief. I looked towards the bed to see Atem sleep with Yugi in his arms, I smiled and walked over to them before shaking Atem`s shoulders

"Atem, you need to wake up." He groaned and opened his eyes

"Yami? What is it?" I bit my lip

"Two councilmen are outside and they want to see you." He groaned and carefully sat up before handing Yugi to me and walking out of the room slamming the door behind him causing Yugi to wake up in freight and cling to me

"It`s alright Yugi, your papa just isn`t very happy right now." He looked up at me

"Yami?" I nodded and he relaxed. I sat on the bed and set Yugi in my lap

"YOU DID WHAT?!...NO I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT!...I DON`T CARE I RULE THIS KINGDOM NOT YOU, I WILL NOT HAVE YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK...HONDA GET THEM OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Atem then entered the room and slammed the door again causing Yugi to jump and hide behind me

"Where`s Yugi?" he asked me in a calm voice which surprised me

"P-Papa?" I looked down to see Yugi looking around my arm with tears running down his face

"Oh Yugi." Atem walked over and sat down on the bed causing Yugi to hide again

"He got scared when you slammed the door and he heard you yelling." He sighed

"I`m sorry Yugi, I didn`t mean to scare you." Yugi hesitantly crawled over to him before Atem picked him up and hugged him to his chest

"Papa mad?"

"Yes Yugi but now at you."

"What happened Atem?"

"The council have gone behind my back and invited lady Tea here to become my bride." I nodded slowly and lowered my head before I was pulled in for a kiss but pulled away shortly after

"I won`t let that happen Yami, over you too much to lose you again… She will never be my bride." I smiled

"But what are you going to do when she gets here?"

"Tell her she is welcome to stay for a few days, but she will not nor will she ever be my bride." I smiled

"Hug, hug!" Yugi yelled, I chuckled and let myself be pulled in for a group hug

-Time skip-

-Lady Tea arrives-

-One week later-

Atem`s Pov

"Yugi come back here!" Marik yelled as the throne room doors were thrown open and Yugi ran over to me before jumping onto my lap

"Hi Papa." I sighed and looked at Marik

"Did you give him candy again?"

"Maybe."

"Idiot." I heard Jono say, I shook my head

"Hello Yugi."

"What papa doing?"

"I am greeting a guest."

"Your bride-to-be Pharaoh." A councilman said. I glared at him

"No. She .Is. Not."

"But Pharaoh-"

"But nothing. She is not nor will she ever be my bride, you went behind my back and did this… What would my father say?"

"I`m sorry Pharaoh."

"Leave, all of you." They all nodded and left leaving Lady Tea, Marik, Bakura, Seth, Jono, Honda, Yugi and myself in the throne room

"Aw, what a cute little guy." Lady Tea said and walked towards Yugi and I. Yugi whimpered and jumped from my lap before running over to Jono who was knelt down and ready to pick him up. Jono picked him up and took a step behind Seth.

"I`m sorry about that he`s…not very good around new people."

"Liar." I heard Yami say and I glared at him slightly but he only chuckled

"Oh that`s okay, he`ll get used to me…I mean I am going to be his step-mother." I sighed as I heard Yugi whimper.

"Do something." Jono said

"I`m sorry Lady tea-"

"Please just call me Tea."

"Lady Tea, what the council did was without my consent."

"But I all worked out anyway."

"Actually it didn`t, I won`t be marrying you Lady Tea and you won't be becoming Yugi`s Step-mother either."

"Why not?"

"Because I don`t want to marry you, and I won`t marry you…you are welcome to stay for a couple of days but please stay away from my son."

"Why?"

"You`re scaring him." Seth said

"No-one asked you!" she yelled

"It was actually an open question that anyone could answer." Jono responded

"Shut it slave."

"That is why Yugi doesn't like her." Yami said and I sighed

"Everyone calm down! Right, Honda could you please escort Lady Tea to her guest chambers?"

"Yes Pharaoh, this way Lady Tea." Honda said she huffed and followed him out of the throne room. When the doors closed I let out a breath I didn`t know I had been holding

"She seems like a handful already and she`s only just arrived." Bakura said

"You`re telling me, I don`t understand why the council would want her to be my bride."

"We can already tell she`s a gold digger." Seth stated

"I second that." Jono stated
