A/N I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, etc., etc., etc.

A/N Sorry this chapter took so long, I'm just not feeling the love guys. If you like it, let me know. And by the way, I made this chapter a bit longer since I haven't updated in a while. Enjoy.

"If you're going to stay here Jamie, you need to meet my grandfather first. I think you'll like him."

Yugi headed toward a door hidden in the far corner of the shop and Jamie followed close behind. Through the door was a staircase which led up to Yugi's house. She followed him up the stairs as he called out to his grandfather.

"Grandpa? I have someone I want you to meet!"

"Yugi? Is that you?" The voice seemed to echo throughout the house and down the staircase. "I've been waiting for you. Your dinner is cold."

"Oh, sorry Grandpa. We all ate at the diner." Yugi continued to ascend the staircase as he yelled up to his grandfather. "I didn't get a chance to let you know."

"It's alright. I'll just put it in the fridge and we can have it tomorrow. Now, what is this you were saying about wanting me to meet someone?"

The two teens reached the top of the stairs and Jamie looked out over the apartment-turned-house. "Your place seems cozy," she whispered. "I like it."

"Grandpa, I want you to meet Jamie. Jamie, this is my grandfather."

Yugi's grandfather was a very small man, but he had a lot of energy. He took her hand and kissed it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jamie, and please, call me Saul." He motioned for her to come closer, so she bent down to his level and he whispered in her ear. "From what I can already tell, I think Yugi likes you. I hope you plan on sticking around for a while." She kept a stern face, as hard as it was, and nodded in agreement. The two of them looked at Yugi simultaneously.

The look on Yugi's face was priceless. "What?" Jamie and Saul fell into a laughing fit, to which Yugi replied under his breath, "It looks like she'll fit right in."

When they had finally stopped laughing, Yugi showed Jamie the rest of his home, pointing out the bathroom, kitchen, sitting room, and bedrooms. To Jamie's surprise, it was actually much larger than it seemed.

When the tour was over, Yugi took her back to the sitting room, where his grandfather was sitting. "Grandpa, Jamie is going to be spending the night with us tonight. Do you think you could make up the guest room?"

"Not a problem," he said, and he headed off towards the guest room.

After Saul had left the room, Jamie spoke up. "Thanks again, Yugi."

"Don't mention it. As Tea would say, 'That's what friends do.' We watch out for each other."

"Yea, I'm beginning to learn that." She paused. "Speaking of friends, where do you think Safiya and Atemu are?"

"I don't know. They should be here soon, though. Let me see if I can contact the Pharaoh." Yugi closed his eyes and called out to the Pharaoh through their mind link.

Pharaoh, you out there?

I'm right here, Yugi.

And where exactly might "here" be?

We are just about to enter the card shop.

Oh, so you guys are right outside then.

Yes, we will be up in a few minutes.

Okay.

Yugi opened his eyes. "They're actually just about to enter the shop. They'll be up here in a few minutes."

"Wow, that was good timing."

"Yea," he said laughing.

A few minutes passed before Atemu and Safiya entered the home, but when they did, their laughter preceded them. Jamie and Yugi smiled to each other, glad to know that both of their spirits were happy, and happy together.

"I'm glad to see that you two are getting along okay, I mean, a lot can change in five thousand years," Jamie teased.

Atemu answered her without turning his gaze from Safiya. "We've weathered enough to make change between us difficult."

"Yes, I believe we have," Safiya agreed, holding his gaze.

Noticing that the two ancient Egyptians hadn't looked away from each other since they entered the room, Yugi took his cue and yawned, stretching at the same time. "Wow, what time is it Jamie?"

Jamie looked over to Yugi just in time to catch a blatant wink. She chuckled to herself softly before becoming serious. "I do believe that it is past my bedtime. Would you mind showing me to my room, Yugi?"

"I wouldn't mind at all. And hey, Pharaoh, are you two going to be alright for the night?"

Atemu tore his eyes away from his wife. "Yes, Yugi, we were planning on spending the night in my soul room within the Puzzle so as not to disturb the two of you."

"Sounds good to me. So we'll see you tomorrow morning then."

"Yes. Good night Yugi."

After everyone said their goodnights, Yugi led Jamie down the hall to the guest room. "If you need anything," he offered, "my room is the room next to yours, on the left. Feel free to knock and ask for assistance."

Jamie sat on the bed, inspecting the sheets and mattress. "Thank you very much Yugi. This means a lot to me."

"You are welcome." He paused to watch her for a moment. "Well, I'm off to bed. Sleep well, and I will see you in the morning."

"Good night, Yugi."

He turned to leave, shutting the door behind him. Jamie quickly changed into her pajamas, shut the lights off, and climbed into bed. She pulled the sheets up close to her neck, tucking herself into the soft cloth. She then closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

For hours, Jamie tossed and turned in the bed Yugi's grandfather had prepared for her. It wasn't that the bed was uncomfortable; it was that in ten years, she had not spent a night without Safiya, and she couldn't sleep. Finally, after a few hours of sleeplessness, she threw the sheets off and climbed out of bed. She walked down the hallway to the room where Yugi slept and softly knocked on the door. She slowly opened the door and peeked in. "Yugi, are you awake?"

He rolled over to face her and yawned. "Yea, I'm up. What's bothering you Jamie?"

"I can't sleep." She opened the door all the way and stepped in.

"You want to talk?"

"Yea." She walked over and sat heavily on the edge of his bed. "Safiya and I have been together for over ten years, and in that time I haven't once slept without her. It's kind of weird, I guess. But I can't sleep without her."

"No, it's not weird Jamie. I know the feeling. The Pharaoh and I are close, even though we haven't been together that long. Still, I do get kind of lonely when he's not around."

"Would you mind if I slept in here tonight, on the floor, maybe?"

"I don't mind. But here," he slowly climbed out of his bed and took one of his two pillows with him. "I'll sleep on the floor, and you can have the bed."

"Oh no, Yugi, I don't mind sleeping on the floor."

"I insist."

She began to blush, and whispered, "Thank you." She pulled a sheet off the bed and handed it to him.

"Thanks," he said, taking the sheet. "And you sleep well."

She moved up to the top of his bed and pulled the remaining sheet over her head. She breathed in the smell of his sheets and exhaled loudly.

"Uh, Jamie? What are you doing?"

"Oh, sorry," she said laughing. "It's just that I've never slept in a bed this nice. Like I said earlier, Safiya and I have been on the move for so long that we spent most nights in train or bus stations. I just get really excited about sleeping in a real bed. Sorry about that."

"Uh, that's okay…?" Yugi said with a raised eyebrow. She smiled sheepishly, and the two burst out into laughter.

They talked for a little while longer until Yugi's voice began to fade and sleep threatened to overtake him. Jamie noticed. She finished her thought and ended with, "Goodnight Yugi."

He yawned as he responded. "Goodnight Jamie."

She closed her eyes and tried her best to fall asleep, while he rolled over and fell asleep immediately.

After some time had passed, she had still not managed to fall asleep. She turned her back to Yugi, lying on the floor, and began to weep softly. She was very happy that Safiya was finally reunited with Atemu, but she was not handling the separation well.

Yugi awoke to the sounds of Jamie crying and knew what he had to do. He grabbed his pillow and stood slowly, letting his sheet fall to the floor around his feet. He walked over to the bed and gently lay down, on top of the sheet, next to Jamie, who was trembling beneath the sheet. Feeling his presence, she stopped crying and calmed herself. Knowing that she was no longer alone, she promptly fell asleep. And Yugi, who was still terribly tired, fell asleep just as fast.
