1 A Moment in Time
1.1 Better Connections
Yami couldn't believe it. How could he, the ruler over a great land, be in love? The chiropractor advised for him to remain calm and accept the truth.
"Love can offer the human life many things," the man had said before leaving.
But Yami wasn't sure. He knew that love was build upon trust, and trust was a weakness. He refused to be weak.yet his heart tells him otherwise.
'Give it a try.' His conscience persuaded. 'It might be better than you think.'
'But.' Yami didn't know what to do. This was all happening too fast. One minute he was to choose a slave, the next the chiropractor tells him he's in love.
The ruler shook his head and, to rest his heart, decided to try this new experience.
***
The young slave awoken to the clicking of doors. He painfully pulled his body to an upright position as he remembered the royal advisor throwing him into the room. When his eyes adjusted focus, the boy gasped in surprise as he came face to face with the pharaoh.
"Your highness---" the captive tried to kneel down before Yami, but unfortunately, due to his weak state, collapse at the king's feet.
To the slave's astonishment, Yami kneeled next to him and helped him up.
"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you," Yami soothed the trembling body in his arms. 'Poor child,' Yami thought. 'Look at the scars on his arms and legs. He needs medical treatment.'
"C'mon," Yami lifted the boy onto his bed and took a seat next to him. "So, what's your name?"
"Y-yugi." Amethyst eyes refused to look into crimson ones.
"Well, Yugi, first off all we're going to get you cleaned up."
"Y-you're not going to beat me?"
This question took Yami by surprise.
"Why would I do that?"
"N-nothing."
Yami watched as tears streamed down Yugi's bruised cheeks.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, your highness."
"Call me Yami."
Yugi's head shot up and stared as Yami. No one was ever allowed to call a pharaoh by his first name, let alone in person.
Yami chuckled at this reaction. "Don't worry. You have my permission."
"Ok, Y-yami."
"Hang on." Yami got up and strolled to the doors that stood ajar. He then called for a doctor, whom rushed to the pharaoh with various medical apparatuses and remedies.
"Yes, m'lord?" The doctor bowed deeply to show respect AND not to lose his head.
"Take care of Yugi." Yami ordered. "I want him cleaned and treated."
"Of course."
The doctor set about wiping Yugi's arms with disinfectants and bandaging his arms with linen. Yugi flinched as the alcohol stung against his skin, but kept quiet. Soon, all the wounds were taken care off and the doctor left.
"How do you feel?" Yami asked, laying a hand on Yugi's shoulder.
"T-tired." Yugi cringed at the touch but then relaxed. "Uh, can I ask you a question?"
Yami raised a perfect brow. "What is it?"
"Why.why are you being so nice to me?" Yugi hesitated, unsure of how to continue. "I-I heard that you were ruthless and cruel.especially to slaves."
Yami blinked, then strolled about the room, walking back and forth at small distances.
"Tell me, Yugi, have you ever heard of love at first sight?"
Yugi stared for a moment, by answered nevertheless.
"Y-yes."
"Well, when I first saw you, I found that there's something special, something different, about you," Yami turned to meet Yugi in the eye. "Maybe it's because you look like me, or maybe it's because of your innocence. Whatever it may be, I know that I will never find anyone quite like you."
Yugi gaped, unsure of how to respond. "I."
Yami returned beside Yugi, placing a hand on the other's shoulder.
"You see, no one has _ever_ made me feel this calm.this tranquil.this _soft_ before. You are the only one with the power to uncover the only light I have left. Just a few days ago, I didn't have a reason to live. I thought that life was just a battle for power, where the strong survive and the weak perish.but I was wrong. Life is not just to live, then die and meet Osiris. No.life is enjoying the finer things in life.like love."
Yugi's eyes widened visibly, as his body stiffened. 'Could he.'
"Give me a chance, Yugi." Yami continued, scooting closer to the boy. "Give _us_ a chance. Please."
"I." Yugi was obviously lost for words.
Suddenly, unconsciously, the great ruler bent down and planted a feathery, chaste kiss on Yugi's lips. When Yugi responded, slightly surprising Yami, the pharaoh deepened the kiss, his hand moving to Yugi's back and pressing their bodies together.
Yugi moaned, his own hands involuntarily clutching Yami's shoulders. This encouraged Yami, who then pushed them both onto the bed. Finally, they had to come up for air, panting with pleasure.
Yami smiled at Yugi, something he rarely did, and kissed his petite, rosy lips again.
Yugi tasted like something out of a fairytale---soft, sweet, honey-like, with perhaps a mix of chocolate and vanilla. Yami craved for more, and he did what his heart desired.
Pushing the smaller boy against the blankets in a heated kiss, Yami gently chewed on Yugi's bottom lip, eliciting a pleasurable groan from him. Then, after seeking for entrance, Yami explored the other's mouth lightly, savoring its alluring flavor.
"Yami." Yugi gasped as the young king began sucking on the delicate flesh and pressing tender kisses to his neck, careful as to not touch the injuries.
Yami chuckled at Yugi's reaction, and briefly wonder just how sensitive the latter under him is.
***
Later, after their strenuous activity, the new lovers lay in bed, skin touching skin, in each others arms.
"Get some rest now." Yami murmured, pulling Yugi closer.
"Goodnight, Yami," Yugi whispered as he rested his head on Yami's chest.
"Goodnight, little one." Yami took one last look at the replica in his arms before allowing sleep to claim him.
Unknown to anyone, a figure in a dark cloak snickered in the depths of the shadows.
"So, the pharaoh's found a lover," a voice frigid and menacing shattered the brittle air. "That makes my plan all the more easier."
The concealed form moved nimbly through the dark corners of the castle as torchlight revealed a lock of white hair.
