Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another chapter of Blind Date and the first of a few I'm really struggling with. A big thank you to Jofisk, my Guest and Pharaohs Girl18 for reviewing the previous chapter and I hope this one will be just as much to your liking as the previous one.
Enjoy!

Blind Date – part 58
/\/\/\/\/\
While his lover was speaking with the bellboy, the pale man had taken the liberty to walk into their new accommodations provided by the hotel with their suitcases, after they had been brought up by the hired staff. Yami couldn't help but smile slightly, while he was deeply impressed by his surroundings, as he left their luggage inside the foyer where a door led to a toilet with dark grey walls of exquisite stones. The pale man didn't linger, however, and he gently opened the door towards the next room which was a sitting area that could also be used as an office, for there was also a desk against the wall.
His shoes nearly didn't make a sound as he walked over the off-white carpet which had been laid out throughout the entire hotel room, except the second toilet and bathroom. Occasional red rugs underneath the sofa, comfortable chairs or the bed decorated the place as well as the same-coloured curtains in front of the large windows. The bedroom itself was of a decent size, with a spacious bathroom which was accessible through the walk-in closet. Again, the dark grey stones returned to laid out the interior at the same time turquoise coloured towels were waiting to be used.
As he walked back, Yami noticed the door opposite of their bed leading towards a small balcony which stretched across the entire outer wall from their bedroom towards their sitting area. It was just unfortunate their sunny weather had been replaced by dark clouds and pouring rain, which was why the pale man left the balcony untouched prior to walking back into the foyer where Atemu had finished paying the bellboy for his services. As Yami arrived, rose-red eyes turned to him while the older male tilted his head slightly as a small frown marred his lover's brow.
"Até... This hotel room is almost the same size as my apartment... It must have cost you a fortune", were the soft words while Yami glanced at his lover, but he wasn't relieved when he saw the small curl of tanned lips. Sure, he had always known Atemu was paying for everything... but it was currently a nearly painful slap in his face and it was a very harsh reality. One he had overlooked without meaning to and slight guilt gripped the pale man while he stared at his beloved.
"You really don't need to worry about that, although I do wonder if you like the room?", Atemu asked softly, before he realised that was possibly the wrongest answer and definitely not a question he should have allowed to pass his lips as Yami continued to stare at him with a worry-filled gaze.
"How can I not worry, Até? The room is lovely, but it almost seems to be too much. You're not trying to show off, are you?", the pale man asked in return and as he did, his lover stepped forward slightly to caress his cheek lovingly. Rose-red eyes were warmer than before and Yami took a deep breath to calm himself as he could read reassurance deep within the irises he loved so much.
"No, mon chéri, I am not showing off. Not to you or anyone else. When I come to Germany, I always try to book this room whenever it is available, as it is a very comfortable one and the services of this hotel suits me. Yes, the price is not cheap, but the quality I gain back for it is very much appreciated. The same accounts for the size of this room as living in something akin to a small apartment helped me stay sane for the many weeks I would stay here", Atemu explained gently and he smiled as the realisation of his words hit his lover. "Yami, my love... I would never show off my riches in regards to trying to impress anyone; least of all you. Unless you're kidnapped, for then I'll call the air-force and the army to find you", the tanned man continued and both men couldn't help but chuckle softly which lightened the mood surrounding them.
Yami couldn't help but smile either, even though he felt even more guilty than before. "Embarrassingly enough, Até, it's a relief to know. Merely because I wouldn't want for you to try and spend money to impress anyone. Except when the need asks for it, obviously. If you are kidnapped and they demand all your riches in exchange for your life, please give it to them in that case?", the pale man asked in return and he smiled when his lover kissed his brow tenderly.
"I promise, mon chéri, and there is no need to be guilty. Or embarrassed", Atemu prompted softly and he caressed the pale cheek again while shoulders sagged as Yami sighed softly.
"Well, part of me is feeling guilty, Até. I'm sorry I reacted this way and for asking silly questions, but... Seeing this exquisite room just slapped me in the face with the fact I have not paid for anything in regards to our travel. I have done nothing but rely solely on you and I... I don't want you or anyone else to think that I'm comfortable with that, because I don't want to appear as if I'm mooching off of you", the pale man admitted while he glanced away from his lover at the same time he leaned his head into the gentle caress.
"Let me reassure you that there is no need to feel guilty at all, Yami. You are not 'mooching' and if anything, you are my intern. I asked you to come with me, which means that as a good boss, I'd pay for you and as a good lover, I'd make sure there is no need for you to worry about a thing. You do a lot for me, mon chéri, so please, let me do something in return?", Atemu asked carefully, as he didn't want to say the wrong thing again, but he smiled in relief when crimson eyes locked with his own once more.
"What you offer me in return, Até, is far more than I will ever be able to give you", Yami countered with a soft nibble on the lips as he still wasn't sure what to think of it. He didn't want for anyone to think bad of their relationship, but if his lover didn't think he was mooching... could he accept the things offered to him?
"Mon chéri, you worry about monetary value, but you shouldn't. What you give me in feelings, emotions, trust, love and peace is worth more than any price attached to our current trip. Being with you... means I am not doing this alone and nothing can beat that feeling. It is something I am eternally grateful for and it is therefore I don't want anything else from you, but your time with me", Atemu answered and Yami couldn't help but smile as he felt a new warmth brewing inside his being. Gently, he embraced the tanned man as he felt reassured and wanted to make sure his lover knew this.
"Thank you, Até, for those kind words and I'll try not to think of this again. I know I did it before when we were looking for a place for me and I'm sorry you had to reassure me again, but it is greatly appreciated. You are the best", the pale man whispered and he smiled as tanned arms wrapped around his slender frame as well while Atemu sighed softly in his ear.
"Anything for you, my love, because I don't want you to worry. Not when you give me the peace of mind I treasure so", was the soft answer and Yami gently pulled away to kiss his lover's lips tenderly. He would give the tanned man all the peace in the world if necessary to make sure others wouldn't look bad at them for being a couple. He would make sure nobody would ever accuse him of taking advantage of his beloved; including himself. It was time he accepted that minor difference between them and with that thought, Yami felt he was able to look differently at the hotel room they would occupy for the upcoming week. Especially because his lover had explained how it had helped him remain sane... sort of.
"Were your schedules always busy when you were abroad?", Yami asked softly while he led both his lover and all of their luggage into the bedroom where he started to unpack them gently. Atemu's laptop, as well as Ryou's gift and their valuables were placed inside the safe by the tanned man, while the younger one arranged their walk-in closet.
"Truthfully, I made them busy", Atemu admitted while he made sure the wrapped gift couldn't be damaged prior to closing the safe-door. "It was my own fault for driving myself insane, but there were moments where I tried to take it a little more easy. Yet, there are always long meetings scheduled while I visit stores and try to see what I can implement back at home. True, we have regular contact concerning their way of work, as our style of work are not always working well in other countries, but I also like to see the differences first-hand. Plus, there were always business dinners planned between the office and myself as well as interested offices or businesses I am familiar with. I honestly admit I am glad we didn't do that for this week", the tanned man continued while he helped Yami with arranging their suits in the closet and the pale man smiled warmly while nodding.
"It is just very unfortunate these entire two weeks have been taken up by meetings either way. It would have been fun to visit the park with you and to see you work. Even after we get back in New York, will we have time for ourselves, or will you have to meet other offices?", Yami asked while emptying his toiletry bag inside the bathroom where Atemu joined him with his own.
"There may be a few offices that wish to see me personally, even though we have already spoken with each other via a video-call. What matters most right now is that I will deal with almost every office out there present time, while I hope you'll manage my phone calls once more? You did an excellent job with them, so I'd like to ask you to continue?", the tanned man asked and pale lips curled in a smile while his lover nodded in acceptance.
"If that is the way I can help you, Até, then I will certainly do so", was the kind answer and Atemu purred softly as he touched his lips to his lover's brow. "Although, perhaps we can discuss this while having dinner? It's nearly time, plus, I still have to tell everyone I arrived safe and sound", Yami continued and rose-red eyes checked his watch, before the tanned man chuckled softly.
"Yes, let's go downstairs. I already reserved a table when I booked the room a few weeks ago, but I'd still like to be on time. While you contact your friends and family, I'll take a quick look at my e-mails in case Seto has some news. Unless you don't want me to?", the tanned man asked while they pocketed their wallets and key-cards.
"Not at all, although if there is news, I hope you'll share it with me. Especially if there are any cancellations regarding your schedule", Yami offered and he gently held his lover's hand while they rode the elevator to the ground floor. As he did, Atemu nuzzled him lovingly.
"I will, mon chéri. In fact, I'd like for you to think about it, but I could share my business account with you for the aforementioned reason. Although I don't want for you to think I'll treat you as a secretary. You are my intern and I will teach you what it is you came for, but perhaps for the time being I could give you more insight in this part of my life... especially as you are watching over my schedule like a hawk and keeping me sane", the tanned man offered, while he glanced at Yami curiously. Crimson eyes returned the gaze, prior to his lover tilting his head slightly.
"Truly, I wouldn't mind, Até. Aside from it giving me more insight in your work and what you have to deal with all day long, it would also help in keeping your schedule clean. Obviously I'll leave all the answering to you, but just like the paperwork in your files, I can organise the e-mails by importance? I'd like to help you, Até, it teaches me organising skills as well as confidence which are different than the ones I learn when working at the store. As long as I will not cross any privacy-infused laws, I'm okay with being your secretary for a while if you will still help me out with my assignments", Yami countered gently, as his already existing task had to be finished, no matter he was a little ahead of schedule.
Exiting the elevator, Atemu squeezed his lover's hand gently. "Of course I will, mon chéri. When we get back in New York, I promise to look at your assignments and how they are developing. Especially now that you have spoken with Malik and will speak to Ryou next week. I'm very curious to read the changes you have been able to implement", the tanned man said and Yami nodded as he hoped he had done them right. Thanks to Malik, he had been given a few more tips and tricks in regards to the mock-up for the store he was currently writing about. Details and laws had been looked at with his friend, while there had also been some new calculations in regards to his fictional budget and Yami was really grateful for the given help. It was a lot of work as well as a lot of fun and he would use the time Atemu was away to make the other man proud of his essay.
"This way, mon chéri", Atemu whispered softly as Yami had been daydreaming a little and the pale man smiled sheepishly prior to following his lover passed the occupied tables. It was busy and cosy at the same time in the marvellous looking restaurant which had beautiful, round wooden tables with comfortable seats all around the floor, while there were also long-stretched golden-yellow sofa's to sit down upon and enjoy the Italian cuisine. One of the walls was a closed niche, with a glass-wooden door showing off the different bottles of wine which everyone could taste, and all the tables were decorated with white, blooming flowers.
"It's beautiful here", Yami commented softly, prior to thanking the waiter for showing them to their table. He also couldn't help and blush when Atemu pulled his chair back as usual. Especially as some people were staring at them a little, but crimson eyes glanced at the tanned male lovingly while the chair was pushed towards the table gently after he sat down.
"It certainly is, mon chéri. Although... I doubt they are as good as Alfredo", Atemu whispered softly with a chuckle and Yami followed him in his mirth as he was reminded of their trip to that restaurant only two weeks ago. They had been chased by paparazzi and even though he hadn't quite noticed it at the time, the pale man sighed in relief as that currently wasn't the case. Here, his lover was just a businessman like any other and Yami hoped that wouldn't change as soon as they'd get back home for even though he did not have a lot of experience with the paparazzi, he currently enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.
"Never", he agreed in a whisper as well, prior to accepting the menu from the waitress and requesting a soft drink. As she went away, he turned his phone on and accessed the internet together with his lover before gently touching the tanned hand while they waited for all the messages to load.
"Até, to get back on the topic of managing your e-mail, is there anything I should know beforehand?", the pale man asked and he smiled as tanned fingers laced with his own in return while Atemu leaned forward slightly to give him his full attention.
"To be fair, it's as you said, and won't be as different from you organising my files. I'd appreciate it if you could give the most important ones a red flag. When you need to flag them is the same as with my files, you'll know when you read the subject and yes, you are also allowed to read the e-mail. There is no need for you to worry about privacy in this regard, because this is between us. Just like the previous stacks of paperwork", Atemu answered and Yami chuckled softly while nodding, before both men turned their attention on their menus while leaving their phones be for a moment longer.
"That's good to know, Até", the pale man merely replied gently and he couldn't help but blush when his lover winked at him. It made him smile while he turned the pages, before discussing an entrée with Atemu which they could share between them. He also chose a main course of lasagne and had finished picking it out just in time as the waitress returned with their drinks. The smile upon pale lips continued to curl when the tanned man ordered something nice as well and as she left, Yami touched his lover's hand once more. "I'm also really glad you're feeling better", he whispered and rose-red eyes gleamed warmly as Atemu nodded.
"Yes, very much so and I will definitely try these medications again next week prior to leaving for London. If I can feel this good at least ninety percent of our future travels, I'm in", the tanned man answered with a chuckle and Yami laughed as well, before both men picked up their phones to check their missed message and, in the pale man's case, to text everyone he had arrived in Berlin without trouble. Afterwards, he downloaded the application for Atemu's e-mail account, as it was a different one he normally used, and was made a personal assistant so he could share in the available options.
"It's actually quite all right, Até", Yami commented softly as they both looked at the accounts while sharing their entrée, although the tanned man couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Thank you, I do try to keep it clean. As of right now, you and I are the only ones looking at this e-mail account for I learned my lesson last time I was away concerning Vivian. Kisara is once again dealing with Seto's paperwork, so I can proudly say I have been keeping track of my own things once again", Atemu said, although he didn't sound like it at all and Yami tilted his head slightly with a small smile.
"Até, there is absolutely no shame in sometimes relying on people to help you... You taught me that. Plus, you'll still help me out and need to answer all of these people in your spare time. All I will hopefully be able to do is sort through things priority-wise", was the kind answer and Atemu returned the small smile with one of his own.
"Which you will do wonderfully, mon chéri", the tanned man answered, before he explained some of the workings in regards to the application and that, once they would get back upstairs, they'd also install it on Yami's computer for easier access. "I don't want you to stare at the screen of your phone all the time. True, a laptop is not much better, but still a little bit. Also, you don't have to sit on top of it. Work on your own assignments and your schedule will still be pretty much the same while we are here. You will still visit stores, even though it will be without me", Atemu continued while they were finally allowed to enjoy their main course. The meal was absolutely delicious, as would be expected from a five star hotel.
"But... who will take me if you won't accompany me?", Yami asked in surprise, while he couldn't think of someone better than his lover to show him the ins and outs. Atemu, however, merely smiled warmly.
"One of the managers who has a position much like Jack's. He or she will know everything to teach you in regards to your assignments and this person will also show you the differences between a store in New York and Berlin", Atemu commented in return, although he could notice the slight nervousness in his lover's gleaming eyes. Yet, even Yami had to admit there wouldn't be another possibility and a part of him was also excited. What would this new person be able to teach him, after all? Would it be very different than what Atemu had shown him so far?
"Very well", was his agreeing answer, prior to both men chuckling softly for the silliness of it. "Although you can bet I'll be comparing and will definitely do my best", Yami admitted, which made Atemu laugh even more with mirth.
"From you, I wouldn't expect anything less", he replied with pride evident in his voice and the pale man could feel his cheeks heat up slightly as he was figured out easily. Yet, that also made him feel good and his lips curled in a new, loving smile while enjoying dinner with his lover. Their dessert consisted of freshly made brownies, with a dark red sauce as well as walnuts and Yami vowed he would try making them at home as they were absolutely the best of their entire evening. What felt better was leaning against his lover in the elevator, though, while they were completely alone and holding hands.
"Thank you for dinner, mon chéri", Atemu whispered softly while nuzzling the pale man and Yami smiled as it had taken a bit to persuade his lover it was all right to let him pay. Not because of his earlier anxiety, but because he had felt like it and it had felt good too.
"You're welcome, Até", he whispered softly and it was just heavenly to find the hallway towards their room empty as well, which meant he could shamelessly lean against the tanned man some more. Once inside, however, he had to let go as his lover had a need and Yami chuckled softly while he entered the sitting area which would ultimately lead towards their new bedroom. As he did, however, his phone buzzed softly and he took it from his pocket gently to see the recently installed application showing him Atemu had an e-mail. Wanting to try the new account, just in case it would be bombarded as well one of these days, Yami opened the message and smiled as it was from Pegasus.
"Mon chéri, it's evening and after dinner. No more work", Atemu objected slightly when he returned from the second toilet in the foyer without his jacket, but he tilted his head when his lover turned to him with a small, guilty smile on his lips.
"Yes, I know, but the phone buzzed and I wanted to try my new toy to get accustomed to it. The e-mail you received is from Pegasus regarding the Halloween party he's hosting... which reminds me that we haven't been able to discuss it yet since our flight to Egypt. You have been so busy and I simply forgot about it", Yami answered while he turned the application off as he faced the tanned man. He watched how a straight spine tensed ever so slightly, before Atemu tilted his head to the side to indicate it wasn't important.
"Very true, mon chéri, but my earlier opinion still stands. There is no need to attend this party as it will be a waste of our time", was the answer which made Yami's crimson eyes reflect with curiosity.
"May I ask why? I mean... Pegasus sounded very excited when he told me of the party when we attended his dinner and I believe he would be a good host for this party too. Aside from that, Seto called the dinner a waste of time, so why did we attend that one?", the pale man asked gently and Atemu sighed softly as he caressed the pale cheek affectionately.
"Because that was a formal dinner and one I was unofficially forced to attend. It was a waste of time for there were no other suitable companies present to form good contracts with and that was something both Seto and I had been looking for... Halloween is quite an informal party with free foods as well as drinks and that equation will never be able to draw in the business partners I need", were the soft words and Yami sighed softly while nibbling his lip.
"Won't that just be a reason to enjoy yourself? Até... especially when the hacking is over, you should be able to relax a little and have some fun. Won't a party like this be able to just close a bad time and move forward again?", was the gentle question in return and Yami watched as his lover tilted his head ever so slightly.
"I'd rather relax and have fun with you at home than at a party Pegasus' hosts", Atemu countered, which received him curiously raised eyebrows and he sighed softly with a small smile. "No, the party won't be hosted terribly as Pegasus is already planning this for pretty much the entire year, but once we're there, we won't be alone. There may be bothersome questions in regards to the hacking and I don't want for us to deal with that on a party that is still a waste of time", the tanned man continued, although he sighed mentally while he watched how his lover was processing his answer and tilting his head one way or the other as if he was measuring the given reasons for their worth.
"We can always celebrate Halloween in New York, mon chéri", Atemu said softly as he continued to gently caress his lover's cheek, but a soft disagreeing sound escaped Yami's lips at the same time the pale shoulders rose slightly in question.
"That wouldn't be the same, would it be? I'm sorry... It's just a little hard to grasp you wanted to show me what you did at a formal dinner and you wanted for me to meet people, but you're not willing to do so with an informal party", the pale man answered gently while he leaned his head into the affectionate touch and he watched how his lover's shoulders sagged slightly. Gently, he returned the caress while a teasing smile curled his lips slowly: "You're not hiding something from me, are you? Something akin to an embarrassing moment in regards to being chased by characters from Toon World?", was his question and he joined Atemu when the latter chuckled softly, even though it sounded as if his lover felt relieved.
"No, mon chéri, I am not hiding anything from you...", the tanned man answered prior to kissing Yami's brow lovingly. "You really want to go?", he asked and he smiled when crimson eyes gleamed hopefully.
"Yes, Até, I do. Even though that means I have to force you through a two-hour flight to Miami, I just want to enjoy this evening with you. I want to enjoy our time off with you elsewhere and not at home. Especially not because I currently live in an apartment where nobody will come by for 'trick or treating' and I don't want to go to Domino for obvious reasons either", Yami answered and he closed his eyes in content when his forehead was kissed again. "Plus... If the evening does turn out really bad, you can say 'I told you so', which is quite a good opportunity", the pale man continued with a small smile while his face was gently peppered with kisses and he chuckled softly as he received a teasing one against the corner of his lips.
"Well, that persuades me entirely", Atemu countered teasingly and both men laughed softly, before Yami returned the sweet kisses against the tanned lips tenderly.
"Very well", the older man whispered as they broke apart and he smiled lovingly while caressing the pale cheeks fondly, "We'll go to the party and if the weather is pleasant, we'll have a lovely walk along the beach before we'll hide away in our cabin until the next morning", he continued and Yami chuckled softly prior to embracing his lover as tightly as he could.
"Thank you, Até, and I promise I'll make it worth your time. It will be a good party", the pale man promised and he felt how strong arms tightened around his frame in return as he nuzzled the broad shoulder and placed small kisses against the side of his lover's neck.
"We'll see, mon chéri, we'll see... Especially as we currently have no costume to wear", Atemu answered in return and he felt how his lover pulled away from him slightly to tilt his head and hum softly in thought.
"Well... after visiting Ishizu's museum, I thought I could go as Pharaoh, but you can wear that costume if you want and I'll think of something else. Especially because the bust proves you'd make a very good Pharaoh", Yami offered and he smiled when rose-red eyes gleamed hotly at him, before Atemu tilted his head as well.
"If we can find something nice to wear, I'd really like for us to go as a couple. We'll think of something, mon chéri", the tanned man answered and he kissed the pale lips again prior to releasing his lover so he could open the door leading from their sitting area towards the bedroom. Especially as they really should be heading to bed after this stressful day, although he couldn't help but smile when Yami hummed softly once more.
"We could go as pirates? Still... you would look really good in something regal...", the pale man whispered as he turned to his lover who walked back to his side and glanced at him in question of his sanity. At least, that's what it looked like to Yami and the younger male nibbled his lip, before he chuckled softly. "I'm sorry... I'm just really excited right now and I want to imagine you- Até! What are you doing?!", he called out suddenly as he was picked up off the floor bridal style. Clinging to the tanned man, Yami laughed softly as his lover carried him towards the bedroom.
"I'm making sure we're going to bed, mon chéri", Atemu replied with a soft chuckle of his own, although he allowed for Yami to turn off the lights in the previous room prior to turning them on in their bedroom. The giant bed was a welcome sight for them both and the pale man kissed his lover softly on the lips as he figured he could leave the options of different costumes for a later date.
"Can I get out of these clothes first before we go to sleep?", he asked as he pulled away only an inch, before he felt how a blush rose to his cheeks when Atemu rumbled softly.
"Yes, you may... and I will help you gladly", the tanned man answered, prior to setting Yami down atop the bed. He didn't release him entirely, however, as he wished to kiss him first and pale lips whispered a soft moan as the younger male tried to pull his lover onto the bed as well. Atemu only did so after discarding his shoes, before he broke their kiss and settled down behind the man he loved to let his lips touch upon the slender neck he knew was his lover's favourite spot.
Gently, Yami leaned against the broad chest offered to him as he tilted his head to the side to give Atemu the space he needed to kiss him as tenderly as he currently did and crimson eyes closed in bliss at the same time pale hands grasped tanned ones while they slid his jacket from his shoulders slowly. Especially for their dinner tonight they had both dressed up prior to their flight to Berlin, but the younger male regretted it right now as it would take forever to get out of the three piece suit. Even so, he loved the touches as well as the slowness of them and he let his jacket fall to the floor so he could grasp Atemu's warm hands once more.
"Até", he whispered lovingly as his tie was removed and he wished he could do the same to his lover, but the latter wouldn't let him turn around. It was why he grasped tanned hands tighter as they undid the first button while those velvet lips were still kissing his neck.
"Mon chéri", the older male merely whispered back with a teasing smile on his lips, before he tugged on the collar gently with his teeth to move it aside and give him more room to work with. The shudder against his frame as he licked the soft skin teasingly was a pleasant one and made him undo the second button as he wished to kiss more. He wished to suckle upon the pale shoulder to mark it as his own and he chuckled softly as his hands were grasped tighter by pale ones when he slowly undid his lover of his vest.
Slowly, he moved the button through the hole while making sure he could caress Yami's frame with his hands to elicit another soft moan and to feel a new shudder pass the strong spine. It made them both smile as Atemu felt his excitement grow, which prompted for him to tease his lover just a little more. He shouldn't have argued with his beloved, after all... He should have known Yami wished to go to the party ever since he first mentioned it. It wouldn't be a waste of time with the man he loved and Atemu smiled as he hoped they would dance again.
His thoughts were broken as a stray hand squeezed his knee, which held his lover's hips between his thighs, and Atemu groaned softly in the pale ear as he slid Yami's vest from his slender frame. With only the dress shirt and a tank top covering his lover's body, the tanned man let his hands feel and caress while his lips continued to be busy with the pale neck. Buttons were opened slowly by him in order to lower his kisses and Yami moaned softly as teeth nibbled on his skin teasingly. His hand tightened its hold upon Atemu's knee as lips sucked on his shoulder and he groaned as he curled his toes in pleasure.
"Até...", the pale man whispered with a breathless moan and he smiled when his lover purred in his ear softly, prior to a finger tilted his head so they could kiss. Rose-red eyes were gleaming with a warmth Yami knew he could drown in and he smiled in their kiss before they let their tongues touch gently. "May I undress you now?", he whispered as they broke apart, but the teasing grin easily told him he would be denied that wish and he moaned softly as his lover's warm hands continued to caress him with need.
"No", was the whisper joined with the teasing grin, before Atemu leaned in for a new kiss while his hands found another button to open up. They went down ever so slowly and were only stopped by the white top from touching his lover's pale skin, but he wouldn't give up as they shared the passionate touch between their lips slowly. He cherished these touches and it was why he planted butterfly kisses against his lover's jawline when they parted for air. "Although I do want to apologise for arguing with you, mon chéri", Atemu whispered as he reached the pale ear again and at the slight movement, he glanced at his lover while crimson eyes looked back at him.
"Até... There is no need... I was as much a participant of what we just discussed and we have had more little arguments in the past. It's all right, no need to apologise, really", Yami whispered in return while he loosened one hand that was still stroking and grasping his lover's, so he could cup Atemu's face and ease those warm, wet lips towards his own. "It's part of who we are and of being together. It's healthy", he whispered, before smiling as his attempt at a kiss was accepted. He happily parted his lips to deepen their touch and he shuddered as those warm hands continued to try and draw him closer to the heating body behind him.
"Arguing is good, it gives us insight on what the other thinks... although there is something I do not need to argue about", Yami continued softly as they broke apart, but their lips continued to brush together gently while he wriggled himself free from Atemu's knees to face the man he loved. Rose-red eyes gleamed in curiosity as the tanned man sat back which prompted his lover to settle down upon his lap while pale hands started to play with the clothes he wore.
"And that would be?", Atemu asked as he opened another button ever so slowly so he could caress the covered ribs with his thumbs before he reached the next to last one.
"You are the man I love and you are a handsome man who gives the best kisses in the world", Yami answered while he felt his cheeks heat up with a burning blush at the same time he played with his lover's vest so he could get rid of it. He smiled when Atemu chuckled and pulled him in for another kiss after undoing the last button and the languid touch was most wanted while the pale man leaned against the firm body of his lover to feel more of it and to enjoy it thoroughly.
"I see", Atemu whispered with a smile as he helped his lover out of the dress shirt prior to losing his vest himself. "And would you have material to compare your statement with, mon chéri?", he continued with a teasing glint in his rose-red eyes while he could feel how hands were eager to touch skin as Yami stroked his body through his clothes. He was the same, after all, as he pulled the hem of his lover's top from his trousers to slither his hands against the trembling spine at last.
"Do you want me to get some?", Yami whispered with a shuddering breath, but a possessive gleam was next as Atemu pulled him closer and the pale man adored the touch while he squeezed the broad shoulders as he rolled his hips in delight.
"Certainly not... I won't you let go", the older male rumbled as he cupped the flushed face and pulled it down for another kiss to show how much he loved Yami. How much he cherished him and wished for him, which was returned just as eagerly as pale hands moved into his hair to massage his scalp in pleasure.
"Good... Because I don't want you to", was the answer, followed by another kiss while Atemu agreed with his whole heart. He wished to convey that as he tenderly stroked his lover's skin and Yami moaned softly in their kiss prior to breaking away. He was trembling and blushing as he let his hands slide from his lover's hair and down the front of his throat towards the first button. At another caress from tanned hands, however, he gently rolled his hips with a nibble of his lip, but he smiled as it made his lover shudder in pleasure.
"Mon chéri", Atemu merely whispered as he tried to pull his lover closer again, but pale hands were dead-set on unbuttoning his dress shirt while his own were riding up the white top his lover wore as much as possible. Instead of kissing the lips, he leaned forward to touch upon the slowly revealed chest and it made Yami roll his hips again to grind them against his groin. Hands had to release him to squeeze his shirt instead while Atemu flicked out his tongue to tease his lover with a grin on his lips.
"Até... clothes", Yami whispered, before he moaned again when his lover uncovered one of his nipples to lick, kiss and suckle it tenderly. It made him shudder like it always did and the pale man rolled his hips again to show Atemu what the touch did to his body. That he loved it and that he treasured it, but he wanted to please his lover too and he gently pulled the dress shirt from the tanned man's trousers to try and achieve that goal.
Yami gasped as lips travelled towards his other nipple and he shuddered as hot hair was blown across his wet skin after a tongue had made it so. He kissed the top of his lover's head while he continued to tug on Atemu's shirt, but as he did, he revealed tanned skin which he caressed with his fingers lovingly. Anything to touch him and to return the tender touches that made him feel loved. Anything to make sure this man felt as loved as he did, although Yami couldn't suppress the smile when his lover shuddered at the new touch. It made Atemu pull away ever so slightly so their tops could be removed and he heaved a breath as they kissed at the same time hands caressed wanted skin.
Every inch was touched upon as fingers stroked their way up and down while lips touched passionately to convey feelings that couldn't be said with words. Desires and love that was mutual, accompanied by moans and gasps for air while Yami rolled his hips again as he squeezed the broad shoulders. They both shuddered as Atemu found his way again toward the nipples he had been kissing and he continued to suckle upon them, before he rose his lips to the pulsating vein in his lover's neck. As he did, there was another roll against his growing flesh and he trembled in return with a groan leaving his lips to show Yami this was more than wanted. That this touch was heaven and made his blood boil in pleasure, which the pale man answered by a moan from his own throat.
Breath shuddered again as fingers found their way towards buttons and zippers to loosen them in order to gain more of the touch they both longed for. Slowly, hands slid clothes from hips down to knees and off the bed as lips found each other again to kiss passionately. "Stay like this", Atemu whispered as he felt his lover shift and he grasped the slender hips gently to make sure Yami would stay seated upon his lap. Rolling his hips to give meaning to his request, the move was answered by another one from his lover, prior to crimson eyes staring into rose-red ones.
"Here?", Yami whispered, although he gasped with a moan when Atemu pushed their groins together once more while squeezing his backside tenderly.
"Yes, here... I'll help you", Atemu answered just as softly in return as his lover had spoken and he could see how a bright blush started to colour more than just Yami's cheeks. It spread towards his ears as well, although his lover nodded in agreement which made the tanned man smile, prior to kissing the pale lips affectionately.
"Lube", was the younger man's whisper as he shifted ever so slightly when they broke apart for air and Atemu only let him go for that. It made Yami smile, even though his blush remained when his lover seated him upon his lap again. The colour mostly vanished, however, as they kissed once more while tanned fingers caressed his back and a soft moan escaped the pale male as he trembled in delight. Especially because they finally had time for each other again and he kissed Atemu once more to emphasise that for them both. The tanned man was his to kiss, to caress, to hold and to make love to and he shuddered as hands pulled him closer as their kiss deepened.
Opening the bottle slowly, Yami nibbled his lip as they shared the lube between them and four hands were gentle as they warmed the liquid while more kisses were shared. Still, the pale man couldn't help himself as he trembled while he used his lover for support at the same time Atemu wet his entrance before he pushed a finger inside. Both men moaned while Yami's wet hands squeezed the broad shoulders at the same time pale lips busied themselves with his lover's neck while he pushed down upon the finger gently spreading his muscles. He shuddered as it felt different, but good and he rolled his hips slightly to gain more of the feeling while hot breath ghosted against his shoulder prior to Atemu kissing that part of his body.
Steadying his lover, the tanned man moaned softly as a wet hand slithered down his front to touch upon his penis and he trembled with delight as he prepared his lover with his fingers. Eagerly, he added some more lube and warmed it, before he pushed his finger back in which was answered by the same needy roll he had received earlier. When he prompted for Yami to lift his hips again, he inserted a second finger to help him prepare the tight muscle and Atemu enjoyed the moan as he continued to kiss the shoulder closest to his lips.
"Mon chéri, slowly", he whispered tenderly and Yami nodded as he understood the implication, but this new touch was exciting and thrilling. It made him shudder while rolling his hips to feel those gentle fingers inside of him at the same time he prepared his lover's flesh. He only wished he would do this right, but that thought almost fled him as Atemu continued to spread and tease him.
"Até", he ground out with a groan and the tanned man chuckled softly while his third finger joined the other two. He was glad his lover listened to him and went a little slower in the process, even though he was eager and trembling in anticipation for their joining as well. He loved this man and cherished him, which he wanted to show him as much as possible and it was why Atemu kissed his lover on the lips when they were both satisfied.
Lying down upon his back slowly so he could give his lover all the reigns, Atemu also planted his feet into the mattress in order to steady them both. He held onto the slender hips gently with one hand, while the other helped the pale man guide the tanned penis through his entrance. Shudders, gasps and trembles raked their bodies as always while his lover's flesh slid inside and slowly, Yami settled down to grow accustomed to the feeling. He caressed Atemu's chest lovingly and played with the nipples while he felt the thick penis sheathed inside of him deeper than before and the pale man smiled as he enjoyed the feeling.
Slowly, he rose his hips to feel the penetration again and he blushed as it turned him on even more. It made him tremble as Atemu rolled his hips slightly to brush against his prostate and the pale man moaned while he closed his eyes in bliss. Yet, he wanted to look at his lover and crimson irises gleamed as they caught rose-red ones staring at him, prior to nodding that he was all right. That he was enjoying himself probably way too much, but this new position was even more thrilling than before.
"Good", Atemu merely whispered in relief, before he shuddered when Yami pulled away from him, only to sit back down again as slowly as he wanted. It was a teasing agony, but the tanned man loved it as the rhythm would change on occasion and he moaned with a quick roll of his own hips when his lover had found a pace to his liking.
"Até", Yami moaned back with a smile on his lips as he rose up again, but he shuddered at the roll from his lover as it brought the flesh deeper into him again. It felt amazing, perhaps not as good as when Atemu was in control, but definitely superb and Yami repeated his pace while they both moaned in pleasure. The pushes and pulls grew quicker as their muscles tightened and the tanned man groaned as he fastened his hold upon his lover's hips to make sure he would hit the desired prostate to make Yami cry out with want.
Coils curled inside their abdomen as skin met skin and the pale man gasped for air while he quickened the pace again. He was close, very close and he felt relieved when Atemu's quick snaps became more eager and needy as well. One brush, one sheathing deep inside him made him gasp and moan loud as the coil snapped and Yami felt how his muscles trembled as they became rigid with his orgasm. Atemu groaned as he let go while his hips jerked uncontrollably to get inside his lover as deep as he could, before he could settle down somewhat with his whole body shuddering in pleasure.
Chests heaved as both men gasped for breath, prior to Atemu drawing Yami against his chest while the pale body shuddered from the same waves of pleasure the tanned man felt coursing through his frame as well. It made his blood boil and it made his flesh pulsate deep within his lover, prior to it slipping out of the pale body as he rolled his hips so they would both be comfortable as they rested in each other's embrace. Sweet murmurs of love escaped Yami's lips while he kissed the side of his lover's neck in between his gasps for air, but it made Atemu smile while he held onto the younger male as tightly as he could.
"Até... that was... amazing", the pale man couldn't help but whisper as his body still tingled all over and he smiled while another moan escaped his throat, because he was with the man he loved and he felt cherished.
"That is was, mon chéri... That it certainly was", Atemu replied as he closed his eyes in bliss and he returned the sweet murmurs with his own while he continued to hold Yami as their afterglow coursed through their veins. He was forgiven, he was loved and he was with the man he cherished. They were together, they were growing and it was all right to sometimes disagree. It was all right to agree too and the realisation made Atemu kiss his lover tenderly. Pale lips were soft against his own as if they understood and returned the feeling, which made him glow with warmth.
"I love you, mon chéri", the tanned man whispered fondly as he stroked sweaty blond bangs from his lover's brown so he could gaze into the warm crimson eyes he could drown in.
"I love you too, Até. With all my heart", Yami returned just as softly and Atemu nodded with a loving smile as he couldn't agree more.
"With all my heart".
