Chapter 1: King of Darkness - Prince of Light
"How was your day Yugi?" asked an extremely tired Yami. "I know! I know! You're going to say 'You were there in my head Yami! You should know! Don't you ever pay attention inside my head as well as outside! Yada-yada-yada...' So, why don't you just skip over that part and get to telling my what I missed during these last hours of boredom."
Yugi responded once he thought Yami was coming to a close. "Well, you missed math, where we learned to do matrices today; English, where we learned about using 'he or she'; and band, where I started to learn the homecoming song for next Friday..."
"You went on and started learning that piece of crap already! Why!?!?!?"
"You haven't looked at the song yet have you, or do you even know what song it is?" Yugi waited for Yami to begin to say something, or nod, or anything really, but he just sat there with his eyes shut, thinking. "Well, the song happens to be "Flying Without Wings" and I have to play a solo for it."
Yami's head begins to fall forward and then...
/Thump.../
~"Yami! Wake up!"~
"Ahhh! Ok Yugi, I'm up and awake. Sorry about that..." Yami began to stutter out, still slightly tired but getting worse each second.
"Wow, you're really out of it aren't you. Guess I'll just have to put you to bed tonight..." Yugi whispered in a calming, slightly mono-tone voice. "My King of Darkness..." Yugi smiled at his nickname for his love, as started to slightly move the vessel like body of soul mate to the bed, but decided that the couch would be better for both of their sakes.

It had started out almost as a game when they first met. Yami had told Yugi that he knew one thing, he was the "King of Darkness," but that he'd never hurt Yugi. Yugi had responded, after a few seconds thought, that he must be the "Prince of Light" then. Yami understood that the beloved child in front of him didn't grasp, not in the slightest, what evil, sinister power stood before him. Yugi, at the time, simply didn't understand how something he couldn't see, touch, smell, or taste could hurt him to begin with. He could however, very much hear the voice. Even though it was a rough, raspy, low toned voice, he completely trusted it from the moment he'd heard it.
Yami had sensed this and, in accepting it, had come to realize that this tender soul in front of him needed his love, needed his friendship, needed him. (Certainly, he didn't realize it would be to the extent that it would become, but he knew that Yugi needed him in one form or another.)
"Yes," Yami had said, as calmly as his voice's instrument would allow. "You are the Prince of Light..."

As Yugi, finally finishing his several-minute trek with Yami to the couch, sat down on the end where Yami's head was, he began to stroke the former Pharaoh's polychromatic locks with his hand. It was amazing how he could stare into his fancier's eyes longer when they were closed then opened.
Yugi closed his own eyes and silently waited for a coma to come and take him away, where he could wait on that plane of darkness until, in a few hours, his King would return to him. And he, the Prince, could serve as second in command as usual...

I'm not really sure on how long this will be, once it's actually posted on ff.net so I apologize in advance if it's not long enough. Please read and review, so I can try and fix or add what you want me too.
