Joey yawned and flopped down at the desk he was sharing with Yami. "Sorry, I don't think I can do anymore tonight." He muttered sleepily staring up apologetically at the former Pharaoh. "It's okay Joey, besides it's not as though I'm forcing you into learning Ancient Egyptian." He chuckled softly running his hands through the limp teen's silky hair. "Y'know, maybe I should give it up. I mean, I really do want to learn but I just seem to be useless at it. Just like everything else…" He trailed off sadly.

"Oh, come on. You can already speak and write the entire language roughly and you've only been doing this for a month!" Yami exclaimed, exasperated by his friends lack of confidence. Joey looked up at him grumpily. "Oh please, look at me! All you guys have these cool powers and halves and stuff. Hell, even Kaiba has a past life! I'm just some ordinary guy hanging around for no reason."

"Oh, Joey! Don't be silly, you had a past life too! How do you think you've learnt so much, so quickly?" Yami chuckled shaking his head affectionately.

"Yeah, tell me about me then." Joey challenged disbelievingly.

"Fine, you were a slave by the name of Jono. When you first came to my palace you crossed paths with my High Priest. You two got along about as well as you do now, at first anyway." Yami smirked. Joey looked up, mildly interested.

"Really? Wait a minute… what exactly do you mean by 'at first'?"

"Well, after a while you guys started to get quite friendly with each other." He said, eyes twinkling.

"Oh, yeah right. Look, if your gonna lie to me at least make it believable will you?" Joey growled glaring.

"If I was lying I would've said someone like Tristan." Yami scoffed. Joey still looked suspicious. "You even bore his child." He added, chuckling softly at the blondes wide eyes. "Say what! You mean not only was I his lover I was female?" Joey exclaimed. Yami shook his head and Joey choked. "Wha… but how?" He spluttered.

"So now you believe me." The Pharaoh teased the furiously blushing boy.

"I know when your not lying, but let me tell you no matter what happened then is does not mean it will happen again!"

"Did I say it would?" He was met with a series of embarrassed splutters.

Yugi appeared at the doorway, awakened by the noise, looking up at his best friend and lover with suspicious eyes. "What did you say to him?" Yami's eyes widened innocently.

"Me, aibou?" Yugi glared. "Fine… I was telling him about Jono and Seto." He admitted reluctantly. Yugi's eyes brightened and he hurried to the kitchen to make coffee.

"Wait for me!" He called over his shoulder before disappearing from view.

"Please tell me you aren't serious about all this." Joey begged weakly.

"Oh, I'm serious." Yami smirked; Joey sighed and flopped down once more in defeat. After an eternal wait Yugi returned with the coffee and a plate of cookies.

"Here you go, sugar with milk, milk and milk." Yugi stated taking one of the milk coffees for himself. Both Yami and Joey reached for their respective cups, eyes widening in disgust at their first sips. "Wrong cup." Joey winced, spitting out the bitter fluid.

"Joey! How much sugar do you need?" Yami gasped swilling down the sickly drink with his own drink.

"Five." Yugi answered deadpan expression on his face.

"Five?" Yami spluttered. Joey blushed under his shocked gaze.

"Er… weren't you gonna tell us about how me and Kaiba got together?" The blush deepened, if that was possible. Yami nodded and stared at his audience, keeping them in suspense for a few moments longer before beginning his tale. He switched between the uncomfortable gaze of the blonde and the wide, anticipating eyes of his Hikari. He smiled softly, munching slowly on a biscuit this had always been his aibou's favourite. He sighed, taking a final sip of his coffee before beginning the events of the ancient past and history of Seto Kaiba and Joey Wheeler.

"Well I suppose it all began when a new group of slaves arrived at my palace one mid July morning…" The Pharaoh began a faraway look in his eyes.
