Marriage
"My pharaoh, the Greek arrived."
"So, this is his son?"
"yes."
"Pleased to meet you Greek, I am the pharaoh of Egypt."
The man was sitting on his throne smiling.
"yes, I am please to see you too."
Then a figure came in, smaller then the pharaoh but much more innocent.
"um, hi."
"hello."
"He is the chosen one for the pharaoh."
"oh OH"
"My great ones, the feast is ready."
The four men walked in silence.
"Atemu, he's really good for the priest."
"haha, yes Yugi. He is a Greek."
"wow I heard that Seth always studied about the Greeks."
The two walked whispering to each other. And the other two walked silently. Suddenly the priest held the Greek's hand.
"ah-"
"Jounouchi? Yes?"
"..yes."
"Jou, I am Seth."
"…Seth, the priest and magician of Egypt?"
"..yes."
The two then walked in silence once more. But what Jou did not have noticed was that the priest was still holding his hand.
"My boy, you have arrived."
The pharaoh and the priest's parents whom happily honored them greeted the two couples.
"Let us enjoy this feast, yes?"
The four nodded. The food was served, so much different then in Greece, but it was delicious, there was entertainment with dancing and music.
Then the pharaoh spoke, "My Greek, please show us some of your cultural entertainment."
Everybody in this feast cheered and roared. The priest smiled at the Greek and gently tapped him.
The Greek was pushed forward and everyone was now silent to hear him.
"Um..Hi-"
The people cheered.
"..In Greece, one of our Gods was the maker of wine, and entertainment. We would generally have a feast dedicating to him, and dance with the sounds of harps and flutes."
Gently, the Greek reached in his clothing for a small wooden plank with holes in each column.
Everybody whispered wondering what that might be.
"This is a instrument, I have brought along with me."
Jou smiled and gently blew on it.
Thin, and gentle wind blew out, making smooth noise, we call, music. As it got stronger, it became louder and higher, and people roared.
Many danced, people hummed, it truly was a feast of entertainment.
"How-How did I do?"
Jou asked when the two arrived back.
"…good."
Jou changed back to his simple clothing for night. He took his golden jewelries off and carefully handed it back to the priest.
The priest kept them in a small box in front of the window. The stars were bright and the moon still glowed its beauty.
As the Greek walked to the window, he felt his waist held by a gentle touch. His thin cloth, against his skin, and a firm hand pulling him tighter.
The priest whispered to his ears.
"Do you like the moon?"
Jou nodded, and slowly tears fell to his cheeks.
"why-why are you crying?"
Silence...as nothing stirred.
"tell me- Why."
"…because I'm s-scared."
"…maybe. Scared of me?"
Then the Greek nodded. The priest smirked, and pulled him closer, "Scared that I will have your innocence?"
Then Jou turned to see the priest's face.
"I-I was forced, let me not be forced-"
His mouth was covered by a firm kiss. Under that pale moon, the two kissed. Breathing into each other, as the clothing revealed his skin, Jou panicked.
"Please! Stop…"
The priest ignored, trying for his own desire. Then suddenly, he stopped, letting go of him in his grasp. He had just noticed what he was doing.
Below his body was a fragile figure, with tears falling, dropping down, and ripped clothes, his skin, and paler under the moonlight. It was that innocence that haunted him, that grew his desire.
"F-Forgive me."
Quickly the Greek reached for a blanket and covered himself.
"No…no, I apologize."
"Love is not forced, I know."
The Greek stared with his eyes opened for a surprise.
"then-"
"forgive me."
Then the priest walked off.
"Priest?! PRIEST"
The next morning Jou was up looking for the priest. Suddenly the door opened and the pharaoh's lover came in crying.
"Jou! They're gone…"
"Y-Yugi, who's gone?!"
"The priest and the pharaoh. There is a war…between Rome and Egypt."
"Oh no- Why aren't we-"
"they wouldn't let us go because we belong to the priest and the pharaoh."
"Did they leave-"
"they went a hour ago."
"no..I-"
The boy kept crying and crying, falling into Jou as tears fell to his cheeks. This is how desperately he loved the pharaoh, even as one second past without him, he would fall into tears.
Just for his sake my gods, let they be okay.
"My Gods, hear my plea. It has been 2 days… Let them be safe, touch them my gods, guide them. I sacrifice to you. I have been so stubborn, forgive me-"
"Stubborn to me?"
A cold voice rang, quickly Jou turned.
"Priest, you-"
"I lived."
He winked and he smirked. Jou suddenly had tears in his eyes, as he ran to hold him.
"you told me, love is not forced. But love can still bloom when it is forced."
The priest smiled gently and held this person, now he called lover tight in his arms.
"love is just confusing."
The moonlight shined once again.
"Does the moon always shine here?"
"you should've noticed by now."
"Greece, it does not. Only stars, but times, the cloud hides the moon's beauty."
"There are two different kinds of people. The one who sees the cloud, or the people who sees the moon's beauty behind the clouds. Which do you see?"
"the beauty-now."
"I always saw the beauty-in you."
The priest came closer to Jou, carefully caressing him in his arms. Gently kissing his neck, blooming red flowers, his soft skin touched, handled with love and care. He softly moaned in his ears, deeply and more desire fell into the night.
His body was hot with passion, as they heated the cold night.
"..caress me." He moaned.
As his fast hands explored his body, they both moaned. He whispered to him, "let me be the first."
Jou nodded gently as he continued. Jou held his waist as their thin clothing came off, sweat falling everywhere, their hips tightens and passion became wild.
"..I-I love you." Jou whispered, gently smiling.
"love..you too." Seth moaned.
Love-Love is not forced.
Next Morning-
"Seth."
"Yes pharaoh."
"Jou was a force marriage?"
"..yes. Because of his family."
"…?"
"they were poor so they asked us, we helped but Jou had to come here."
"..So he was a sacrifice."
"…yes, but they made him marry me."
"so if anything goes wrong, Jou must be sacrificed?"
"…yes."
"hm…I see."
"I didn't hear anything yet. So he shall stay with me."
"do..do you love him Seth?"
"…yes. I do."
Then a small figure came in. "Seth?"
"yes Yugi."
"Jou is looking for you."
"I take my leave pharaoh."
"yes."
As Seth walked out, Yugi smiled at him gently and walked back to Atemu.
"I heard about Jou." Yugi gently spoke.
"Isis, she tells me Jou needs to be sacrificed."
"..she has foreseen it?!"
"..yes."
"Jou. Jou!"
A golden blonde was on the floor, sobbing.
"What happened?!"
With hot tears falling on his cheeks he cried.
"I'm a sacrifice?"
"oh..Jou-"
"I'm a sacrifice?…I found out. My parents, they have been robbed, they have nothing to repay to. I must be-"
"shh. No, you don't, not anymore."
The door suddenly opened, "Seth, let go of him! He is a poor creature!"
"Are you all insane?! He is my chosen one, do not touch him."
The cold eyes glared at the two guards.
"b-but my priest-"
Then the priest's parents arrived.
"Seth, Let go of him."
"I SHOULD NOT! AS THE PRIEST I ORDER YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"
Everyone took a step back.
"HE IS NOT GOING TO BE SACRIFICED. HE IS NOW CHOSEN AND I ORDER YOU, NEVER TO COME CLOSE TO HIM. UNDERSTOOD?!"
Seth quickly took out his golden rod, glaring at every single person, he looked as if he saw right through them. They all nodded in fear, carefully walking back.
"Seth-"
"No mother, I will marry him."
In silence everyone backed off and walked off.
Seth then quickly turned to face Jou.
"shhh- you're fine. Safe, you'll stay with me."
"I-I love you…"
Jou spoke in tears. Seth gave him a quick kiss and hugged him tight in his arms.
"I love you too."
The moon shined brightly once again.
"My goddess Artemis, let your-MMM!!!"
A quick hand covered Jou's mouth. Stopping him from breathing as Jou collapsed into the man's arms.
"Pharaoh!"
"yes."
"Jou, he's gone!"
"oh Ra. I'll send guards."
"lend me your horse."
"yes, go."
The priest ran out, as the pharaoh deeply sighed.
