Chapter Two

Yuugi awoke, as always, just as the sun was beginning to ascend. Out of the high window he could see the brilliant pinks and oranges of the pre-dawn sky. The arms of his lover and master were wrapped tightly around him. He slipped quietly out of the warm, soft bed and his Pharaoh's tender embrace. Atemu stirred but settled back down without waking.

The stone floor was cold and the air was filled with the chill of early morning. Yuugi picked up a robe from the ground, which had been discarded the previous night, wrapped it loosely around his body and set about his morning chores. He pulled the curtains back open, savouring a moment in the warming sunlight before continuing. He set out robes and polished adornments and jewels that his Pharaoh would wear, singing softly to himself as he worked. Any outside party would never have been able to guess the terrible anxiety that he was fighting to suppress.

He took little joy in the rising of the sun, knowing that the higher it rose the closer it was to setting. He was dreading tonight. The picked up the nearest object and began polishing it compulsively, trying to distract himself. He sang a soft, desperate prayer, beseeching the sun to stay in the sky so that night would have to come. His heart leaped when he heard his Pharaoh awaken.

"Little one?" he muttered, groping around the bed in search of his slave.

"Yes, my Pharaoh?" he laid down beside his master, snuggling against him.

Atemu smiled and soft sleepy smiled and pressed his lips softly to Yuugi's "Ana Behibak."

"I love you too, my Pharaoh." He settled himself into a comfortable position in the curve of the Pharaoh's arm. He was still repeating his prayer silently, though he knew it was hopeless; the desperation of one little slave could not alter the Cosmos.

"You're trembling again, little one," Atemu breathed against Yuugi's ear, "Surely you can't still be cold."

"No, my Pharaoh," he said quietly, "Perhaps I'm getting sick…"

Atemu easily saw through what his slave was trying to do, "I'm sorry, but that isn't going to work little one," he chided softly, "My hands are tied on the matter."

"I understand, my Pharaoh." Yuugi nodded and kept his head bowed. There was nothing else he could say or do. His job was to serve the Pharaoh. He was often made fun of by other slaves in the palace because he'd never lain with anyone but the Pharaoh. They thought he was stuck up and childish but in reality he just took his position as the Pharaoh's personal slave very seriously. His body and sexuality were property of the Pharaoh and it wasn't his place to give away what belong to the Pharaoh. He loved his master so deeply and the thought of someone else touching his made his stomach turn and his heart ache, but he knew his job was to do as the Pharaoh wished. If the Pharaoh wished for him to lay with Priest Seth then that's what he would do. Despite his apprehensions and fears, he would do as his Pharaoh wished for him.

The little slave in the Pharaoh's arms as trembling worse then he had been and Atemu could no longer ignore it. His little one was terrified and he had allowed it to be so. He could do nothing to make his fear less. He pulled Yuugi into a passionate and comforting kiss. He stroked and pet his sides and back lovingly and Yuugi calmed under his touch. Though he was still shaking, Atemu could feel the slaves muscles begin to relax and his heartbeat slow. He laced his fingered into Yuugi's hair causing the younger male's back arch in pleasure. He pulled away from his lips and whispered sweet words into his ear.

"Pharaoh…this isn't a good idea..." Yuugi blurted out, through his mixed emotions of anxiety and passion, he managed to keep his mind on his responsibilities, "There is an important trial you need to attend soon and the counselors get cross with me when I keep you late from official business. It's my duty to see you arrive to your engagements on

time."

The Pharaoh kissed Yuugi's neck affectionately and released him from his arms, "What would I do, without you, little one?"

"You give me far too much credit, my Pharaoh." Yuugi blushed under his master's admiring gaze. His master really did love him.

As if to prove the point his little one was thinking he pressed another kiss to his lips, making his younger lover smile and blush further. Without any other words exchanged, Yuugi helped the Pharaoh dress and escorted him to the court.

It was late afternoon, the sky just beginning to take on a light orange hue, and Yuugi found himself sitting in a garden outside, alone with his thoughts. He was trying his hardest not to dwell on what he knew would be coming up in less than an hour. Instead he focused all his attention on a small gecko scuttling along a stone wall. He reached out a hand to pick it up, but it scurried away into a small crack, Yuugi frowned.

Must be nice to be a gecko, Yuugi though idly, If something scares you, you can scamper under a rock or into a hole and wait until it goes away.

He sighed, softly and put his eye near the opening in the wall, "Would you like to trade places, little gecko? You get a big, warm bed and fancy gifts and you don't have to eat beetles and gnats!"

"Having a nice conversation with the wall, Yuugi?" a female voice came from behind. Yuugi gave a startled jump and hit his head on a low shelf. Rubbing his head he turned around. A brown-haired female slave stood in the entranceway.

"No! I wasn't talking to the wall," he explained, blushing, "I was talking to the gecko!"

"Well, I'm afraid that you and the gecko will have to finish later," she said with a soft smile, "I've been sent to tell you that your expected in Priest Seth's chambers."

Yuugi nodded, taking a deep shuddering breath, "Of course, I'll be there in a moment."

She retreated back into the palace and Yuugi was once again left alone. He swallowed a large gulp of air and whipped away tears that were threatening to form. He needed to be strong because this is what his Pharaoh wished of him. Slowly, he made his way to the Priest's bedchamber.
