Thank you once again to all my reviewers. I really appreciate it! I know the last chapter wasn't as well written, as I would have liked it. It was one of those chapters where I know what I wanted to happen but putting it down on paper was harder then it sounded. I kept changing what was going to happen and every time I thought that things were happening too soon to have such things happen. I could have ended the previous chapter on a really sad note, but I just thought it was too soon for something like that. So now I' starting this chapter because chapter 2 was a lost cause I think.

I wanted to add this: I am really interested in Egyptology so I know quite a lot of things about Egypt. I think the Egyptians were a very advanced people and I think all their religious beliefs and just their modern day life was really interesting.

Thanks to all my reviewers. I really appreciate it! I wanted to say in particular Abbey/Quill Masters: Your review gave me a lot of advice, which I really approve of. Thank you so much! You also guessed what I was going to have happen, I kept writing that and I couldn't quite get it to be believable that Atemu would comfort Yugi. I wanted to but it didn't really seem like it was a growing bond because they just met like 2 hours beforehand. I felt when Atemu comforted him it seemed kind of like he was there and that was the only reason he comforted him. I also have things planned for Mana in future chapters! I have a plot set out and I am amazed how far I want to take this. So enough of my babbling!

MY RA! I forgot the disclaimer! I'm such a bad person! AHHHH

I do not own Yu-gi-oh (I mean if I did do you really think I'd be writing fan fiction about it? No….)

Gems of Amethyst and Ruby Mahado?

Yugi woke with his head on Atemu's chest. He smiled to himself remembering the conversation he and Atemu had. He wasn't as worried about the wedding now, he knew he could spend that rest of his life with Atemu as his friend. Yugi wanted something more though, if he was going to spend the rest of his life married to someone, he wanted it to be love. He wanted it to be real. Sighing Yugi raised his head and looked out at the city. The sun was just beginning to rise; merchants were setting up their shops for the day.

Yugi looked at Atemu, whose strong features were at peace. No frown of worry could be seen on his face. Yugi felt happy knowing Atemu was peaceful in his rest. To Yugi Atemu seemed concerned about everything that was going on. Whenever that subject was brought up between them they only joked about it. Now it was fast becoming a reality. They couldn't hide the fact that in 5 days they were going to married.

Atemu opened his eyes to see Yugi looking at him worriedly, "Something wrong? I know we accidentally fell asleep out here on the balcony, but that shouldn't have you worried."

"I was just thinking…"

"About what?"

"The wedding."

"Oh." Atemu looked at Yugi and saw he was actually serious about the wedding. He really wanted to talk to someone. Not someone, but him. "Well what are you worried about?"

"I guess I always thought that if you were going to get married it was for love. It would be because I would want to be with them forever because I knew they loved me…I guess I'm being a bit stupid huh?"

"Maybe, but not to me. I know what you mean, but wouldn't you want to spend the rest of your life with your friends?"

"You're right Atemu, I would. Thanks."

"Your welcome. I suppose we should go down to breakfast." Atemu stood up and offered Yugi his hand, which he took with a small smile. Atemu held Yugi's hand till they reached the door where opened the door and they both headed to the kitchen.

After breakfast Atemu took Yugi to meet Mahado, who was currently busy writing something at his desk.

"Mahado are you too busy to meet someone?"

"That depends." Answered Mahado.

"On what exactly?"

"Would this be your Prince Yugi?"

Yugi answered him in a polite tone, "Yes Mahado, Atemu thought I should meet you."

"Well Yugi, as you know I'm Mahado, Atemu's minder." Atemu glared at Mahado on his last remark, whilst Yugi chuckled. "I'm sorry that I can't talk more to you but I have a lot of work to do. Just make sure you watch your back with Atemu behind you, you never know what he could do. If he tries anything Yugi, tell him to wait till after the wedding." Mahado laughed and started back on his work.

Atemu was about to respond but Yugi grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the room. Yugi kept walking with Atemu beside him, with their hands still intertwined. Yugi reached the palace courtyard and turned to Atemu. "I'm sorry, I was just stopping you before you said something you might regret." Both were still flushed from Mahado's last statement. Yugi realized he was still holding Atemu's hand; he flushed as he slid his hand away from Atemu's.

"You are probably right, I might have killed Mahado if it wasn't for you." Atemu chortled at the thought. "Though it wouldn't have been the first time for me to try."

Yugi laughed and looked around the courtyard, "This courtyard seems almost as old as King Narmer 1. It is amazing."

Atemu looked at Yugi's face that was shining with wonder, "It probably does, the palace is the same as it was when it was first created, only a few things have been added, though nothing changed."

"I didn't really think Upper Egypt was this different compared to Lower Egypt. Everything here shows the past, but with a glow of the present… what am I saying? I must sound stupid right Atemu?"

"No, you are right. That is what I think of Upper Egypt but I've never been one to voice it aloud." Both boys looked out the window to the West to see the setting sun of Ra.

"There you are! Are you coming to dinner or am I going to have to force you two love birds to come in?"

Atemu and Yugi spun around and saw Atemu's father. Before Atemu could say something rude Yugi stepped up and apologized, "I'm sorry my Pharaoh, we did not mean to inconvenience you in any way."

"Quite all right! You see Atemu? Your lover is polite, you should listen to him more." The Pharaoh strode off in the direction of the dinner hall.

A blushing Yugi turned to Atemu, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for him… I…"

"It's okay Yugi I'm glad you said something. I swear to Ra if he keeps saying things like that I'll… I'll… I don't know what I'd do but I'd do something…" Yugi laughed at Atemu.

"Come on lets get some dinner before you say anything else to embarrass yourself, lover."

Yugi started off in the direction of where the Pharaoh had gone. Atemu just stood there looking at Yugi's back open mouthed. Was he hitting on me? Or was he joking. He sounded so…so…seductive? Oh what am I thinking! I'm so confused…

"You coming? Or are you going to keep gaping at my body?" Yugi laughed at Atemu's flushed face and ran back. He grabbed Atemu's hand and started walking. "You know I can't hold your hand forever because I don't know where the dining hall is."

Atemu had been focusing on Yugi's hand in his own, and then when he heard Yugi talk to him he started and looked up. "Oh, right come on." Atemu lead Yugi to the dining hall through it all he didn't let go of Yugi's hand.

Dinner had started and Yugi and Atemu were eating modestly trying to stay unnoticed by their parents. They were currently listening to their parents talking about the wedding when suddenly they both heard things they wish they hadn't.

"I'm glad are sons are getting along well. They look so sweet together. Has Atemu asked about the heir thing yet? Yugi already asked me and he was appalled at what I said." Yugi's father laughed while Atemu's chuckled.

Atemu's father looked across at Atemu and saw him listening with interest. "Yes, I haven't told Atemu about the mistress thing yet. He should be fine however."

"Mistress? What do you mean?" Atemu was looking at his father angrily.

"Atemu my son, we will find someone in the palace who is of high enough status for you to have an heir. Yugi will still be your husband though. It isn't anything big."

"What do you mean nothing big? Have a child with someone I don't know, or even love! I can't do that. Father you are out of your mind."

"No Atemu you are." He cast a stern look at his son for speaking so rashly towards him, "You know your place and you need to get used to it. I am your father and I make the decisions around here."

"Excuse me Pharaoh, may I take Atemu outside to cool off?"

"That would be an excellent idea Prince, thank you."

"Oh Yugi dear? Could you come here before going outside?"

Yugi went to his mother and she whispered something in his ear that made him turn beet red. All the adults in the room laughed at Yugi and Atemu grabbed Yugi's hand and rushed the both of them out of the dining hall. They shut the door behind them and heard the adults still laughing and talking.

"Did you see that? Atemu was holding his hand! Oh they are so sweet together. I can't wait for the wedding!"

Atemu and Yugi didn't want to hear anymore and made their way to their bedroom. They both say on the bed and looked at each other. Both were giving a silent thank you to the other.

"Maybe we should start eating earlier and avoid them Atemu. I don't know how many more 'love' comments I can take."

"Yeah me neither. I think that is like the fifth time you've saved me from saying something stupid."

Yugi laughed and said, "Nope only three, you helped me too with my mother." Yugi blushed again thinking about what his mother had said.

They both got ready for an early night and they lay in bed looking at each other and talking.

"Yugi?" Atemu looked imploringly at Yugi.

"What?"

"What did your mother say to you?"

"Oh. I don't think you'd really want to know. She really shouldn't have said that…"

"Come on, tell me!"

"Fine…" Yugi mumbled and said something else but Atemu couldn't catch what he said he leaned closer and Yugi said it again. "She said 'I bet you can't wait for the wedding night!" Yugi blushed again but watch Atemu's face.

"She said that? Your own mother? Oh my Ra! Our parents have gone mad with this whole wedding thing."

"I know, but what can we do? Nothing, at least that's what I think. I guess we just let it happen."

Atemu silently agreed and they both lay back on the bed staring at the ceiling till sleep overcame them both.

(I was going to end it there, but I think I'm going to add this for all you people who want to see some fluff. Believe I'm going to get there! And farther!)

Yugi woke late at night and found that he wasn't cold; in fact he was very warm. He opened his eyes only to find he was pressed to Atemu's chest. Yugi blushed furiously he looked up and saw that Atemu had his face buried in his hair. Yugi looked back at Atemu's chest and couldn't help but marvel. He felt Atemu stir; he quickly closed his eyes feigning sleep. He wanted to see what Atemu would do.

Atemu woke from some sudden movement and found himself clutching Yugi tightly to his chest, with his face buried into Yugi's hair. He pulled his face away and looked at Yugi, he was sleeping peacefully and looked content. Atemu couldn't help but feel comfortable. Yugi snuggled closer bringing a faint blush to his cheeks. He slowly closed his eyes and buried his face back in Yugi's silky hair.

So he is interested in me, Yugi thought. Yugi put his hand on Atemu's chest and felt his soft tanned skin. He slowly moved his hand up to Atemu's face and stroked it gently. Even in the dark he could see Atemu's strong features and he couldn't help but blush. I think I'm beginning to have a crush. He is just so handsome I couldn't help myself from touching him. Is what I'm doing wrong? Teasing him and cuddling with him. No… it isn't. He is my fiancé and I have the right to touch him don't I? Oh Ra, what am I going to do? I just can't help but think that I am interested to in where this relationship is going. Yugi fell asleep with his confused thoughts running through his head, little did he know that Atemu was awake and had saw and felt everything Yugi had done. Atemu smiled happily and went to sleep.

King Narmer was the first recorded Pharaoh of Egypt, though some believe it might have been a man called Menes.

Awww, I bet I made some people happy? I couldn't help but put that. I think Atemu's parents are funny especially Atemu's dad. I enjoy making his character like that. I know Yugi is slightly OC by teasing Atemu, but I really think that he should. It just feels right. Lol Well I'm off to go to stuff!
