"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Yugi, now aged seventeen, looked across the room at Yami. it had been five years since Yami and his father had taken Yugi in, and he was more or less royalty now. He wore mainly white, though the basic design of the outfit was similar to Yami's. He wore a white, sleeveless shirt with white pants and sandals, with a white cloak that reached halfway down his back, clipped in place with blue fasteners with a thick gold rim. He wore a loose, blue metal belt, again with a gold rim, and a sword sheathed at his left side.
(Oh, and I know the outfits don't suit ancient Egypt, but they just look so awesome ^^)
Right now, Yami was taking sword lessons. It wasn't like he need them, but he always wanted to get better. His outfit was similar to Yugi's; only his cloak was a dark blue and reached to his knees, while his pants and shirt were more of a cream colour. He dodged the attack from his opponent and hit their wrist with the side of his blade, knocking their sword from their hand. In a split second his enemy was on the ground with the sword to his throat. "Show off!" Yugi called over, and laughed.
Yami looked up and smiled, sheathing his sword and folding his arms. "I'd like to see you do better." He said with a proud smirk, but Yugi folded his arms to, imitating Yami, and cocked his head in the air. Yami grumbled at Yugi's mockery.
"Oh don't listen to him, he's just jealous."
Yugi looked down and frowned as a girl went over to Yami and hugged his arm. She was only slightly shorter then Yugi, reaching Yami's shoulder, with shoulder-length black hair held out of her face by a small, golden crown, like a headband. She had emerald green eyes. That was Yugi's favourite feature of the girl. Her eyes where almost hypnotic, it was like being put under a spell. Every time he saw her... he felt like melting inside. He knew what it was, he was in love with Princess Aurora.
Of coarse, what where the chances of him ever getting together with her? Yami was already betrothed to her after all.
But should he let that stand in his way?
She shrugged it off and leaned against Yami's shoulder. Her eyes were drooping, and he thoughts were clouded. "I think I'll head off to bed..." She mumbled, looking up at Yami. He was wide-awake, so he nodded and smiled. "Ok, I'll see you tomorrow then." He said, giving her a light kiss on the cheek as she stood up. She smiled and turned, leaving the packed hall.
Walking down the stone-floored corridor, the noise of the party slowly died away, fading slowly to the quiet sound of her footsteps. Torches lit the wall, casting a dim light along the corridor and lighting the way, but only barely. She sighed heavily, but her eyes suddenly snapped open.
She heard a quick shuffling noise echo around her. She wasn't alone. Looking around nervously, see quickened her pace to her room. Hopefully she would be safe there.
There had to be someone there, she knew there was. But was it an enemy or a friend? She opened the door to her dimly lit room and walked in, closing it quickly behind her. She sighed and walked over to her bed, sitting down. What was the matter wit her? Her sleepy mind must have been playing tricks on her. But when she heard the door opening, she knew it hadn't.
Looking up quickly, and slouched slightly and put her hand on her heart. "You scared me." She mumbled at the sight of her boyfriend, smiling. She sat up and looked over at him in confusion. In the dim light, it was hard to first make out the person, but now that she had a better look, realised, that wasn't Yami. "Yugi?"
Yugi stood in the doorway, the brightly light from the torches in the hall making it hard to make him out. He closed the door slowly and looked directly at her. Taking a deep breath, he spoke up. "I need to tell you something."
But what was really bothering him was, as soon as Aurora left the room, Yugi left to. Coincidence or not, he was curious. Besides, the best part of the party was over, he wasn't going to miss anything. He rounded the corner and looked up. Aurora's room was just at the end of the corridor.
"Wait!"
Aurora froze as she felt Yugi's hand grab her wrist, firmly but gently, and looked back at him. "Yugi-"
"Don't go..." Yugi pleaded, talking her free hand in his and pulling her to face him. He lowered his voice, and whispered, only barely audible. "I love you..." He let go of her left hand, freeing his right, and wrapped it around her waist, pulling her closer to him until they were only inches apart.
What scared Aurora was, she didn't want to protest. She felt his lips on hers and closed her eyes, kissing him back.
