It had been two months. The tears had stopped. So had the pain. Yugi's days were no longer a misery. He started to make friends. Jounouchi, Honda, Ryou, and Malik were the ones he made in the city, but he also made friends with some of the people in his palace. Seto, one of his priests, Bakura, a quick-tempered thief whom he had set free on the grounds that Bakura would be his guard, Marik, a servant who used to work in the kitchens, but now served in Yami's chambers, and Yami himself.
Yami was Yugi's inspiration. Yugi was a light for Khemet and Yami was a light for Yugi. They had continued their lessons and they grew to be strong friends. Yugi mastered all sorts of sorcery within a few lessons and Yami wasn't surprised. This was, remember, the boy who gave Khemet perfect weather conditions and surplus of crops for four years.
One day, Yugi was practicing levitating small objects when Yami walked in. Junko, Kinoko, and Yukino, who had been in the room, greeted their creator with warmth. Yami, after saying hello to his creations, sat down next to Yugi.
"Today we talk about prophecies." Yami began. "Sometimes they are random, but you can sometimes search your brain and they will come. Please, try."
Yugi closed his eyes and let his brows knit together in concentration. His eyelids flickered open and closed as the room suddenly became deathly still and the candles flickered out. His eyes opened all the way, revealing pure whiteness. He opened his mouth and his voice echoed throughout the room.
"From the depths of the mists, from the shadows of the night
Come three boys, born, bathed in light
They wield three weapons, solid gold
Of magic powers and strength untold
Their darker halves, born from fright
Lacking love, lacking light
And through troubles and turmoil, they march hand in hand
Born to throw evil, out of the land
The hikaris bring light to their demons halves' lives
While the Yamis bring strength to their hikaris' eyes
Love is one of those things that cannot be foretold
Through thick and thin, in young and old "
His voice stopped, the candles flickered to life again, and his blank eyes regained their violet color. He was breathing heavily and Junko, Kinoko, and Yukino were all shivering.
"Wow," Was all Yami could say. 'How could such a cute and adorable boy have such magic?' He thought, before realizing what he had said. 'Wait a minute. Cute?! Adorable?! Where did that come from?'
"W-was that a prophesy?" He asked.
"Yes," Yami responded. "And a very clear one. Most prophecies are very foggy and hard to figure out. Yours said that three boys would be born and would have three golden weapons. I believe it meant that the darker halves of the three boys would be born from those weapons and they would then go forth to vanquish evil. And . . . they would fall in love."
Yugi looked into Yami's eyes, glittering with pride in his student . . . and . . . something else that Yugi dared not to believe. He could feel his heart twinge every time he looked upon Yami, but he was betrothed. To Princess Anzu. To him, Anzu was snobbish, annoying, and intolerable. He hated her, but he had been engaged to her since birth and he could not dare to go against the council.
Yami looked back into Yugi's eyes. He felt his heart shake violently, telling him to do what he had been surpressing for nearly two months. He felt his mouth drop open when he realized Yugi was crying. "Y-Yugi?"
"I-I'm sorry." He wiped away a tear. "I'm f-fine."
"O-Okay." His voice sounded uncertain, as he was unsure of what to say to comfort the boy.
"P-please excuse me." He said, and left the room.
Yami got up and exited as well so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the figure by the door, which had been eavesdropping a moment ago. He stopped when he heard a familiar voice cry out.
"Yami, wait." Great, it's Anzu.
He turned around to face her. "What?" His voice sounded angry. He got a shock when Anzu slapped him hard.
"H-how DARE you?" She started yelling.
"What?" He truly didn't know what he had done.
"How dare you break his heart like that. He loves you and you cannot even say anything. You're breaking his heart." She raised his hand and prepared to slap him again when he caught her wrist.
"W-wait a minute. Are you saying you want me to fall in love with your future husband?" He was surprised. This was totally unlike Anzu.
"Yes, you dolt. I don't like pharaoh. There is a man down in the village waiting for me. And besides, if pharaoh married me then he wouldn't be happy, and if he's not happy then Khemet suffers."
'Wow,' Yami thought, 'this is new. Anzu is in love with a commoner and I'm in love with the pharaoh.'
"O-okaaaaaayyyyyy. Now, I'm confused." Her looked at her questioningly.
"Just go tell him how you feel. If you don't you'll lose him." She pulled her hand away and walked off.
He sighed, maybe she was right.
~~~~~
In Yugi's room, the lights were dim, casting shadows along the walls. He sat on his bed, thinking back to the loving emotion in Yami's eyes.
Junko walked up to him and sat down. "You should tell him how you feel, Master."
"But, I'm betrothed." He looked around at the three girls who sat around him.
"So, call off the engagement. You don't like that snob anyway." Yukino said, voice gleeful at the thought of knocking Anzu off her pedestal.
Yugi looked at her with disbelief in his eyes when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," He called and was surprised to see Yami there.
"Um . . . Yugi . . . can we talk?"
"Um . . . sure. Oh, uh . . . return." The three girls disappeared. Yami sat down next to Yugi.
"Yugi, I don't if you feel the same way, but . . . I think I'm falling in love with you." He turned away from Yugi, whose jaw had fallen open.
D-did he just hear right? Yami l-loved him too? "Oh my Ra." He said. He turned Yami's face towards his with his fingers under his chin. "Yami . . . I love you too." He leaned forward and caught Yami's lips with his own.
Yami leaned forward into the taste, delighting in the calm, smooth, tenderness of Yugi. Yugi parted his lips slightly and Yami took this as an invitation. He pressed his tongue to Yugi's, reveling in the passion they shared. The kiss deepened as they both leaned back on the bed.
~~~~~
Yugi awoke cuddled next to Yami. Yami's arms encircled his waist, pulling him close. Yugi leaned his head on Yami's shoulder, breathing in the warm scent of him.
He sighed and Yami unconsciously pulled him closer. The night was still. The stars twinkling as a crescent moon adorned the sky. Yugi watched the stars shine for a minute before looking back at his lover. He kissed him gently on the forehead.
